Ride and Cut

Chapter 86: Before the battle

On the twentieth day, the patrolling centaur and the foreign scout had a cavalry and shooting duel between the light cavalry.

  

   A sudden encounter, two rounds of cautious probing, coiling and finishing the formation for a short time, and then each whistle to initiate a charge at the other side.

  

   The sound of horseshoe falling on the ground is like muffled thunder. Both sides do not lack the courage to be injured or even sacrificed, but courage is never enough to fight.

  

   No matter how good the riding skills are, after all, it is not as good as the centaur's own legs. This is an inherent racial advantage. In addition, the longbow is obviously more powerful than riding a bow, and the outcome will be known in an instant.

  

   Fast horses are staggered, flying arrows are like electricity, and the difference of a millimetre is the difference between life and death. The centaur oily skin did not break a piece, and the three scouts had fallen to the ground with arrows in their chests, and the longbow counterweight even made people fly upside down for a short time, leaving the warhorse without stopping the mouth and arching the owner's body.

  

   The other scouts didn't do much entanglement, and retreated decisively. It's not that they are timid, but the first job of scouts is always to transmit information.

  

   The Centaur had the opportunity to follow the expansion, but they soon saw the towering flags and the black-swamping enemy army waiting in full battle.

  

   In the face of all eyes, they raised their longbows in the distance, and after a few demonstrative arrows, they turned and left. The flexible posture was enough to make any cavalry embarrassed.

  

   Relevant information was quickly gathered into the hands of their respective leaders.

  

  ……

  

   "Waiting for a lifetime, finally came, the concept of time is terrible." Richard waved the Dragon Slashing Greatsword, which has obviously increased in weight after the second recast.

  

   The little goat-man messenger hurriedly ran away with the flag, and the Lord Lord’s will would quickly carry through the entire alpine fort.

  

   "I saw that the other party seemed to have some heavy cavalry." Hutt said while adding arrows to his waist quiver.

  

   "Heavy cavalry? That's not bad." Richard smiled thoughtfully, "Heavy cavalry equipment is the most valuable."

  

   "Hurt worked hard and continued to take people to investigate."

  

  ……

  

   "Using a centaur as a wandering horse, a clever way, worth learning." Hendra held an arrow sent by the scout in his hand, stained with fresh blood that hadn't dried up in time, and the weight was heavy and heavy.

  

   The centaur that used the heavy arrow instead hit the bow first than the scout that used the light arrow, and the difference in strength was far more exaggerated than it seemed.

  

  The philosopher can know the arrival of the whole autumn from the decay of a leaf. He is not a philosopher, but he also knows that his opponent is not the mob that he had imagined before.

  

   "The scout team continued to explore and maintain pressure, and immediately withdrew when encountering the opposing ranger." Hendra was born in the military and was not indulged in poetry or drama like ordinary aristocratic youths.

  

   He has received a full set of regular knight and commander training, and he has also studied at the Royal Military Academy. Of course, he will not panic because of this small loss.

  

   "The other party has found us, don't let them run away."

  

  ……

  

   This wait is for two whole days to be in peace.

  

   Hendra was so anxious that there were several scorching bubbles in his mouth, and the heavy carriage carried by the army was always entangled in the wheels by the weeds, which greatly slowed the marching speed.

  

   But they must not be left behind, because the team is accompanied by two hundred-man heavy cavalry teams, which are the treasures of the entire army. During the march, those heavy equipment must be loaded with carriages to keep people and horses strong at critical moments.

  

  The general garrison will never be assigned to an expensive unit such as a heavy cavalry, just like it is impossible to have a main battle tank in a police station.

  

   The reason why the brown bear roar is so special is mainly due to the fact that Hendra's personal connections have brought some nobles and apprentice knights from citizen families who are eager to improve their situation and act as officers to set up their skeletons.

  

   In addition, the original station itself is rich in war horses and skilled equestrian herders. For a little money, many herders are willing to bring war horses to serve their hometowns and enrich the grassroots flesh and blood.

  

The heavy cavalry is undoubtedly the big money-burner of all conventional arms. Under the premise of full personnel, the equipment used alone almost emptied Hendra's pockets, and even sold all the manors under his name to barely collect enough money. .

  

   Even so, now it can only be said to be unsatisfactory. Both the quality and the equipment are far from ideal.

  

   But as long as these two heavy cavalry centuries take shape, it will be the capital for the Brown Bear Roar to stand out from the garrison.

  

   It wasn't until the morning of the third day that the generals waiting for the eager mountain fort saw a brown bear flag slowly emerging from the horizon.

  

   Followed by scout cavalry on the left and right wings, a large number of infantry and archers in the center, and heavy cavalry who fell behind the formation. Generally speaking, it is a standard formation that cannot be faulted.

  

   "I was a kid when I first waited." Gunther stretched and twisted his neck.

  

  He is standing on the edge of a trench along the river, which is part of the layout of the alpine fort. There were hundreds of heavily armed barbarian warriors in the ditch. There is lush green grass covering it all around, so long as you stand a little further away, it is difficult to find anomalies.

  

   "This group of goods are really shivering." The lord held the telescope tube and curled his lips contemptuously.

  

   "What's the matter?" Gunther eagerly leaned to the side and wanted to see, but there was no second lens barrel, and the lord crushed the barbarian to death.

  

"The cavalry armor only has the front half of iron, and the back is made of cowhide. The horse armor only hangs on the front half, and the back is bare." Richard put the lens barrel away and inserted it on his belt, disdainful of the beggar among the heavy cavalry. Gu, "Whether it rains, which one uses an umbrella. If you don't have money, you will learn from others to do this, and you will swollen your face and fill your fat man."

  

   "But they are good horses." Hutt is an expert in judging the quality of horses. After all, he has a lot in common with himself.

  

   "No matter how good it is, it is still a horse." Gunther grinned, and the corner of his eyes inadvertently passed over the unusually luxuriant reeds on the bank of the river.

  

   The snarling of the brown bears began to expand. They obviously did not take Alpine Fort too much in their eyes. They unhurriedly expanded the formation, and everyone looked relaxed as if they were participating in an exercise.

  

   took the false lord’s hall on the east bank of the river as the intended target of attack. The soldiers who had originally gathered in groups spread out like ants. Richard scanned it carefully with the binoculars, but he didn't find anyone who was suspected of being a mage, and his slightly hanging heart immediately pressed into his stomach.

  

   Except for a few magic metals such as adamantine or mithril, most of the metals have amazing magic resistance and will seriously interfere with the completion of the spell, so any caster is unlikely to use metal armor to camouflage.

  

   "Look, isn't that a griffin?" Gunther yelled at the Griffin in the distance. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

  

   "Definitely not, he doesn't even have wings." Hutt has better eyesight than ordinary people, and he raised his longbow like lightning and opened the strings.

  

   Before everyone could react, Qingqi, a scout hundreds of yards away, had fallen down with an arrow in his head.

  

   "No." Gunther regretted that even the barbarians had heard of the great name of Griffin.

  

   "Damn, what the **** are you rubbing!" Lord Lord waited impatiently.

  

   In order to ensure that he would not have abdominal distension during combat, he only ate five minutes full in the morning, and now his stomach began to growl.

  

   Since the fall of the geese began to fly south, centaur horses have been able to shoot down a lot with bows and arrows every day. The wild goose of this season has a full body of autumn fat. After being roasted by a half-length chef, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender and fat.

  

   "Come here." Gunther blew a whistle and gestured to a group of people hiding in the trench.
