Lord of Riders

Chapter 49: Kidnapping

Originally, Shao Yu was still distressed about how to quickly cultivate a force that has always been combative. After reading this book, he immediately got inspiration from it. With a large number of archers, it is difficult for these farmers to greatly improve their combat skills in a short period of time. But it's not too difficult to get them basic archery skills.

   After a period of training, although these militiamen’s arrow skills are still very poor, the basic direction and distance can be controlled within short distances. For these militiamen, Shao Yu didn't ask them to get hits every time, but only needed to follow Shao Yu's orders to implement fire coverage in the area they were responsible for. Those soldiers and guerrilla shooters who have been trained for a long time require them to hit the enemy as close as possible. With a distance of ten meters, plus they were standing on the city wall, the enemies under the city had nowhere to hide under the dense arrow rain.

   Under the rain of arrows covering the sky, even an ant would be shot into a hedgehog. This is the key to the Persians' victory.

  Of course, if you encounter heavy infantry regiments, this tactic won't work, but fortunately, the Kingdom of Virginia is not a country that is good at defense. This trick is very effective for them. In this meeting, Mamuen’s soldiers suffered heavy losses.

   The signal soldier sent by Earl Mamuen will not be able to return for at least one day. During this time, Earl Mamuen does not intend to continue to attack. It may not be easy to take this fortress with the light infantry and archers under him. Three hundred soldiers camped on the spot.

   Dozens of soldiers watched the surroundings, and soon night fell.

  Earl Mamuen was thinking about the next attack plan in his military account. Although he knew that the enemy had large-scale archers, Earl Mamuen still didn't know if the enemy had other arms. Only now did Mamuen realize that he knew nothing about the enemy.

   In the night, danger is quietly approaching Mamuen’s barracks. At midnight, most of the soldiers were tired and gradually fell asleep. Only a few soldiers on duty are still standing guard. Ma Muen arranged forty soldiers to be sent out to guard against possible sneak attacks from the enemy in four directions. The troops have just experienced failure and their morale is relatively low. These soldiers on guard also have no spirit. But soon they became alert.

   "Horseshoes! Watch out for the enemy attack" a soldier suddenly yelled

   The other soldiers also heard the clattering of horseshoes approaching. Although there were not many people judging from the sound, they were approaching quickly.

   Although he noticed the enemy attack, it was still a little late. The shadow guard was less than a hundred meters away from them. The soldiers hadn't reacted yet, and the shadow guard had already killed him.

   How do these light infantry on duty deal with these powerful shadow guard soldiers, once they meet each other, all the soldiers on duty will be shot to death by lances.

There were only nine cavalrymen in this team. A small group of shadow guards, some of the other soldiers also found anomalies. They picked up their weapons to check the situation. The sporadic soldiers had no effect on the shadow guards. The shadow guards killed them all the way quickly. Killed under the account of Count Mamuen.

   Ma Muen had also discovered the situation a long time ago. Just after leaving the military account, he encountered a shadow guard who rushed over.

Ma Muen took a look and immediately remembered this unit. He was dressed in black armor decorated with a weird screaming crow pattern, with a black iron mask on his face, and the armored war horse under his crotch had a devil-like head. With sharp horns and a skull and horse face mask, everything is full of evil atmosphere. Ma Muen has never seen such a force, and it is by no means an army, bandit, or rebel of any country.

   "Dear Lord Earl, I don’t know if anyone can accept my host’s sincere invitation."

   Ma Muen was surprised, and the leading shadow guard said

   "Who are you and who is your master?" Ma Muen asked

   "Just follow us," said the leader of the shadow guard

   "Then what if I don't go" Ma Muen said with a smile

   "Then you can try"

   After the shadow guard leader finished speaking, the rest of the shadow guards took off the light crossbows and aimed them at Count Mamuen

  Earl Mamuen has no doubt, as long as he says a no word, this group of soldiers will pull the trigger immediately

   Soon, the soldiers under Count Mamuen reacted and quickly surrounded the shadow guard. However, Earl Mamuen is in the hands of the shadow guard, and these soldiers dare not act rashly.

   "Huh, despicable fellow" Earl Mamoun couldn't help cursing.

   It's really shameful to be captured in this way.

   "Hmph, Lord Earl, please" the leader of the shadow guard sneered and said

   Ma Muen had no choice but to order the soldiers to bring his horses, and under the threat of the shadow guards, they followed them and left the camp.

   Mamoun’s cavalry hurriedly chased them. Unexpectedly, they were attacked shortly after leaving the camp. There was a burst of crossbow arrows shooting at the head, and eight people fell from the horse. Immediately afterwards, a group of cavalry rushed towards them, and the equipment was no different from the person who hijacked Earl Mamoun before. There were nearly 20 cavalrymen~www.readwn.com~There were more than 50 cavalrymen under Mamoun. People, not afraid of them, directly greeted them. But the cavalry who met Mamoun’s men regretted it. The fighting power of this unknown group of cavalry far exceeded their expectations. In a head-on collision, more than ten people were picked off their horses, but the shadow guards did not suffer any damage. After the two sides were entangled together, these Virginia cavalry were even more not opponents. The shadow guard cavalry flew with scimitars, constantly cutting down the Virginia cavalry.

   "Retreat" the commander of the Virginia Cavalry had no choice but to order a retreat.

   In a short fight, nearly thirty people were killed, and two of them were powerful Vaegian knights.

  The warriors of the Shadow Guard saw the Virginia Cavalry retreat. They did not continue pursuing, their task was to stop these enemies. Shao Yu's orders, the soldiers of the Shadow Guard will always execute exactly as required.

   The Virginia Cavalry breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Shadow Guard hadn't chased them. These cavalry were veterans with many battles and had never seen such a difficult enemy to deal with.

   "Go and report to Lord Rodela, Lord Mamuen was kidnapped"

   Back to the barracks, the cavalry commander quickly ordered his cavalry to rush back to Kudan to deliver the letter. When Ma Muen was arrested, these soldiers were also apprehensive. The responsible commanders of the various ministries had to order to stay here and wait for the day to retreat and camp.

   In this sneak attack, Earl Mamoun’s troops lost more than fifty people, including nearly thirty cavalry.

   In the dark night, Shao Yu’s soldiers had already taken advantage of the moonlight to clean the battlefield secretly. Take back the arrows shot out during the day, as well as the arrows of Vigia, so that they can be used in the next battle. Most of the Virginia soldiers who died during the day were recruits, with only a few axes and nothing else.

  The shadow guard stunned Earl Mamuen halfway, and quietly led him into Schulersburg.
