The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 194 The Confrontation of Light Cavalry
"We have to proceed with caution."

Numir told his subordinates.

"That kind of thing is called a magic gun. People of your generation may not have seen it, but you must understand that it is a rather terrifying thing.

It’s okay in the jungle, the cover of the woods will make the gunners fall into melee combat that they are not good at, if they encounter them on the plains”

If it is in an open area, unless the superhumans can be gathered to break through quickly, no amount of troops will be enough to send
Numir did not say such words that hurt morale, but the cavalry could more or less hear the seriousness in the commander's tone.

"I'll say it again, it's forbidden to act without authorization, this is a lesson of blood!"

"Your will, Dawusha."

The orc officers said respectfully, and ordered the troops to collect the corpses of their companions.

Numir called another orc veteran, Rapole, with a solemn expression.

"If I don't expect, these firearms should come from the territory near us."

"Well, I'm not questioning your mighty Wuxia, but this area is within the range of Windsor, the territory there. You know."

"Yeah, I can't believe it too."

Even if calculated in the fastest time, it took less than a year for human beings to retake this territory and rebuild it. In this year, they not only created the nightmare of the orcs, but also took out so many monsters at once.
Even in the country in the north of the orcs, the research on magic guns has never stopped, but the results obtained are failures without exception.

The mages who were taken captive also tried their best, but the things they created were either weird things that needed to be knocked out of stones, or only mages could use them.

Bomb blasts and other things also happen from time to time, and the imitation work on magic guns has been failing!

The same is true for the casting of artillery. If expensive enchanting materials are not used, the orcs cannot cast any qualified artillery.

What kind of technology is lacking in order to create such a batch of weapons?
After all, the hairy orcs had never seized the prototype of the magic gun in the original world, and even if they had, they had not been passed down to this world.

Although Windsor's breakthrough is terrifying, in Numir's view, is it not an opportunity for the orcs?
"We must pay a good visit to this territory."

Numir made a decision, he wanted to approach the reconnaissance and figure out what those humans were doing.

And after breaking contact with the orc cavalry, the cautious cavalry also distanced themselves from each other by relying on their familiarity with the forest.

"Targaryen, the other party is dragging a lot of treasure."

Rapa said suddenly that, like the orc cavalry, the rat people were also eyeing the orc trophies.

"If these sacrifices can be dedicated to the clan"

"Needless to say, you and I will get double the respect!"

The two mice realize that this is an opportunity, but the opportunity belongs to the opportunity, and what should be done must be done in place.

Two fast cavalry were dispatched by the hunting cavalry to report the position of the enemy's main force.

Likewise, a ranger was selected to monitor and find the whereabouts of enemy supplies.

The reason for making such a judgment stems from the understanding of the light cavalry.

If the baggage is not abandoned, the orcs will be caught in a dilemma. If the hairy orcs are really that difficult to deal with, they will definitely find a way to restore the mobility of the troops.

The orcs were also very aware of this. That night, the well-trained wolf cavalry moved their luggage and divided them into small groups to disperse.

The adventurers in the cage were left in place, and when the chasseurs launched another investigation in the early morning, only these adventurers were left in the camp.

"Close it first, the clan chief should be useful."

In the orc camp, Targaryen was also shocked by their crispness.

"It's a disciplined, well-trained, organized force."

He immediately assessed the combat effectiveness of the orcs.

The hairy orc's tactical execution ability has already left eight streets behind the wolf man.

"They split into strands and moved in different directions."

A scout mouse judged from the faint wolf footprints on the ground.

"It can be gathered or separated, which is commendable."

In marching and fighting, what is really rare is that they can maintain their combat effectiveness and execution ability after they disperse. According to the evaluation criteria of the clan chief, these orc cavalry can afford the word elite.

"Although the clan leader always talked about wanting heavy cavalry, he and I both agreed that light cavalry is most needed and indispensable in the territory."

Targaryen analyzed that he didn't realize the importance of light cavalry until he fought these hairy orcs.

Now, if the Chasseurs can't make the right decision, then they are equivalent to being thrown away.

Next, as long as they continue to follow the orcs in circles, or search aimlessly in the jungle, Windsor will lose the cavalry.

"So, what exactly are we going to do?"

asked Rapa, who also realized that the Chasseurs had a problem.

"There are six groups of footprints. The clan leader said that in this case, we should divide into at least four groups to track."

The division of troops was to prevent being circled around, no matter how long the opponent used four groups of people to lead the Ratmen around, it was equivalent to being dragged down by nearly half of the troops.

The orcs dispersed quickly, but if they didn't get together in the end, it would be difficult to make a difference.

Unless they want to escape.

Targaryen knew very well that the opponent had a fighting spirit.

It is not difficult to analyze from the opponent's informatization level that this army can carry out tasks firmly, but it is not capable of performing complex tactical tasks.

In the absence of a strong man in person to command, can the army be able to cross Chishui four times with only rigid combat plans and backward means of communication?

Basically impossible.

If the orcs can disperse once and get together again, their tactical quality is already quite high.

According to the division route of the orcs, the ratmen were also divided into several pursuit groups.

The guiding ideology of the pursuit is to try not to engage in battle, and at the same time actively move closer to the main force where Ickert is.

When teaching this knowledge, Ickert would always talk about a person named "Grushy" to persuade his officers.

Within a day, all the hairy orc cavalry discovered that they were being followed.

Seeing that there were too few people following behind, the light cavalry decided to fight back.

But the Chasseurs are like loaches, they will never fight unless necessary, and the skills they have practiced in the woods are not fake.

The two sides fought all day, and only one mouse was surrounded and killed.

The orc commanders of each detachment are aware of the bad food.

They are dragged.

One and two were fine, but when Numir arrived at the scheduled assembly point, he was surprised to find that.
"Why are there only two teams?"

It doesn't matter if three teams or four teams are assembled, but more than half of them are intercepted. This level of cavalry
"It's really rare. I didn't expect that human beings can have such good cavalry."

At the same time, the orc cavalry detachment, which was a day's journey away, suffered a catastrophe.
