Chapter 71 69. Knights Training

The iron armor reflected the cold light, the horseshoes stepped on the mud, and the white smoke diffused in the sun, and the knights of hundreds of people galloped and charged on the plain.

For the dozens of knights who had just converted from the status of miners, Rand didn't expect them to return to their previous level as soon as they got on the horse. He could only say that they were looking for their feelings while training.

In order to improve the training effect, Rand personally led the team on a blaze. With the blaze in front, all the black-scaled horses would be more obedient.

Fortunately, as demon possessors, after rigorous training since childhood, knights can indeed regain many abilities quickly.

In the afternoon when Rand finished his speech, the knights were assigned horses, armor and weapons. In the afternoon, they could only get on the horses for riding adaptation training. After all, black-scaled horses are considered rare in the inland of the human race, and most of the horses ridden by the knights before were also rare. Did not reach the level of the black scale horse.

For most of the trained knights, the first afternoon of black scale horse riding training was not smooth, except for a few intermediate knights who could quickly control the horses with their strength; Mace Frostwolf was assigned by Neil The black-scaled horse that Neil had trained was fairly obedient after riding it. Most of the other junior knights and knight apprentices could only ensure that they would not be thrown off after getting on the horse. Of course, a small number of them were kicked by the black-scaled horse under them Some of them didn't even go up and chased the horse for hundreds of meters.

In the end, Rand rode over on the fire. Under the deterrence of the fire, all the black-scaled horses obeyed, and the knights were all mounted, and they were able to form a team and run for several kilometers together.

After the adaptive training, most of the riders in the salt mine choose to groom, wipe and feed the horses themselves, so as to get close to their horses and make future riding smoother.

On the second day, Rand knew that he had to train with the knights all the way, and after yesterday afternoon, the knights probably figured out the temperament of the black partner below them, so the whole training has been greatly improved, not only can the overall Already lined up, several middle-level knights can already lead their own squads to conduct line-up training alone.

Rand handed Roll to his side, "What do you think about our knights?"

"Very good. As far as I know, there are only a few dukes in our dragon kingdom who can equip 100 knights with black scaled horses and iron armor." Luo Er was very satisfied with the team in front of him.

"Those Earls and Marquises have high-ranking knights or magisters in their families, right?"

"That's natural. For a knight regiment of 50 members, the leader generally needs a high-level knight; if it exceeds 50 members, it needs a leader of a knight or higher; if it has 100 members, it needs a leader of a silver knight or higher. We are now a centurion. At least there should be a great knight."

A powerful knight is not only an extra high-end combat power for the knight order, but also because the high-level knight can connect the fighting spirit to the magic net, and use the magic net to mobilize the fighting spirit of the entire knight order, thus forming the entire knight order as a whole.

Knights led by high-level knights and above will have 1-2 group skills, which can condense the fighting spirit of the entire knight group into a lethal move or a defensive cover. The power of group skills far exceeds that of high-level knights. With the greatest power, it can even stir and shatter the magic elements in the air, causing the magic effects of middle and low-level magicians to be broken up.

"However, the group skills of the Knights cannot be used on the Galloping Horse Plain. The turbulent flow of magic on the entire plain prevents the group skills and the power of high-level mages, knights, and priests from being fully utilized. On the Galloping Horse Plain Competing for strength depends on the number of cavalry and knights.

This situation continued from the Galloping Horse Plain to the west of Maned Wolf City in the Northwest Earldom. "

Lant understood what Rolle meant. In an environment of turbulent magic, the number and equipment of the knights are the greatest guarantee of combat effectiveness. Lant's knights are well equipped, horses, and many people. 200 people gathered together to connect the maned wolf knights. The team also had to handicap three points.

But what Rand had to face was the barbarian cavalry team gathered by the Gray Goose Tribe. Their number was equivalent to his own cavalry. Those who descended were the elites of the tribes south of the Benma River.

With the same number of people and similar equipment, his only advantage now is the overall buff that Agni brings to all his horses.

"Our existing knights may still not have an absolute advantage against the main force of Gray Goose. We need to find a reserve team of 150 people from the current demon possessors."

"150 people?"

"Yes, we might get some black-scaled horses on the way south. Let them practice with pack animals first. Once there are black-scaled horses available, let them replace them."

Rand's request was implemented on the same day, and the barbarians of the original bull tribe selected 50 pack animals that could be used for riding and 150 pack animals suitable for carrying loads.

On the morning of the third day of training, Rand used the early morning time to conduct the last joint formation training. The main content of the joint training was that the three main teams of the Knights charged forward, and the two cavalry teams used as two wings to outflank. The night before A temporary selection of 3 demon possessors rode pack beasts and the knight reserve squadron followed behind the frontal charge.

The main task of Neal's scouting team is to go around the back of the target area and intercept the opponent's possible fleeing personnel.

Neil and his confidant Big Stone looked at the hillside in the distance. After more than 70 knights from the main squadron rushed down, the 180 reserve team behind them slowly reached the halfway up the mountain.

Within the first 100-200 meters of the charge, the reserve team and the main squadron basically form a whole phalanx, but as the charge time becomes longer, the black-scaled horses and pack animals speed up, forming a complete phalanx It gradually became two phalanxes, and then the main squadron riding black-scaled horses moved forward more and more. After another 500 meters, the front phalanx was separated from the reserve team behind by a distance of 200 meters. .

"Brother, isn't this a square formation charging forward? Why did it become two teams?"

"I can't help it. The speed between the black-scaled horse and the pack beast is right there. Even the pack beast raised by the bull tribe can't keep up with the black-scaled horse."

"Then can this team of 75 cavalry confront Gray Goose's more than 200 cavalry?"

"This is not a decisive battle with gray geese," Neil said decisively, "The current training is only for the formation coordination between several squadrons, and it is impossible for more than 70 cavalry to attack a 200-man team.

In the final battle, all of us on black scaled horses will go together, and we will have the advantage in numbers. "

"Oh, so" the big stone was thoughtful.

Although he expressed his belief in victory with his cronies, Neil knew that even if the three knight squadrons, two cavalry squadrons, Neil and the Greyhound's team were all added up, it would only be equivalent to the current main force of Gray Goose. , and there is no certainty of victory. The real decisive victory may require a duel between Rand and the gray goose leader.

After the first joint training, Rand and Roll also discovered problems in the joint training. The distance between the main force and the reserve phalanx was too large, and the cavalry on the two wings did not cooperate well with the main phalanx. Coordinate between teams.

So Rand conducted joint training again. In the second joint training, the main cavalry squadron, two cavalry teams, and a reconnaissance team formed a unified square formation with more than 200 cavalry. There were 40 cavalry in the front. Charged about 5 meters forward.

After the second round of joint training, Rand finally felt a bit like the cavalry charged in the game in the previous life, but the formation was similar. It is very difficult to keep multiple people moving at the same speed while riding on horseback. If there is no fire to carry out the overall cavalry Coordination, it is impossible to charge after only 2 days of practice.

However, Rand is running out of time now. Whether it is due to weather or food, he needs to go south as soon as possible, so he can only train while moving forward.
