Chapter 234. The complete victory of the heavy cavalry charge
Kant did not intend to involve the infantry in the rest of the reconnaissance.
Therefore, he told Bandak, who was still waiting next to him: "You lead these infantry to light a bonfire to keep warm, set up a temporary camp here, and if you are in danger, I will send cavalry to inform you to provide support." ”
"Yes, I see."
Bandak nodded solemnly, and at the same time said solemnly to Kant: "Lord Kant, please be careful. ”
"Don't worry." Kant's face was calm.
There was no nonsense, and he immediately turned over and got on his horse, but before he could move forward, the mage apprentices stopped him.
The mage apprentice at the head said eagerly, "Lord Lord, we can sense the evil aura, and maybe those demonized creatures, if you can, please take us forward." ”
"Just kidding!"
Bandak frowned tightly, and reprimanded: "Lord Kant led the cavalry forward, how can you mages keep up, if you encounter an enemy, you can't even ride a war horse, you can only add to the chaos!" ”
The only thing the mage apprentices could ride was the docile traveling horse.
Compared with the obedient, but tyrannical Svadia armored war horse, it is absolutely impossible to control.
Their riding skills are very poor.
This is the reason why Bandak rejected them.
"Isn't our traveling horse just behind? We'll be behind to help sense the demonized creatures, and if we encounter a large number of demonic creatures and want to sneak attack, we can be the first to spot them! ”
The mage apprentices are still pleading.
Kant frowned.
Turning his head to look behind him, the traveling horses of the seven of them were used as pack horses, carrying a lot of supplies on their backs.
These supplies were charcoal and food for the infantry.
However, hearing the self-recommendation of the mage apprentice, saying that he could perceive demonized creatures, Kant raised his eyebrows slightly and asked them in a deep voice: "Can perceive demonized creatures, is this true or false?" ”
"Really!" The leading mage apprentice nodded, and said quickly: "Every time they appear, they carry a strong negative energy of hell, and after we are familiar with their energy fluctuations, we can vaguely perceive their general situation, such as number, distance, and level type information. ”
After a failed magical experiment, they no longer dare to boast about anything other than their own abilities.
Kant understood this.
After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand directly: "Keep up!" ”
"Understood!" The mage apprentices immediately saluted in surprise and ran off towards their traveling horses.
Untied the supplies and threw them at the wall, riding a horse and following Kant and the others.
"Let's go!"
Kant smacked the horse's belly and led the team to rush ahead.
Behind them were 188 Swadian heavy cavalry, and 7 mage apprentices on traveling horses, as they continued deep into the ancient tunnels, letting the sound of horses' hooves crash against the stone pavement, and the rumbling sound was like thunder for miles.
The momentum is unbeatable!
The width of the ancient passage is 10 meters, although it is narrower than the plains.
But you can still run to your heart's content.
Even if you encounter an enemy, you are also fearless.
The narrow ancient passage stretched straight without any bends or edges, almost the best battlefield for these Swadian heavy cavalry to charge!
Just charge.
Sharp spears and mighty horses will crush decay.
Even if the demonic creatures are ferocious and terrifying, they still have to face anyone.
Want to fend off the charge of heavy cavalry?
Maybe it's too much!
They can only survive by relying on complex mountain terrain.
Although it is a huge threat to the surrounding lords, it is these demonized creatures that are really slaughtered, as long as the traces of these guys are found in the lord's territory, they will definitely be disposed of in a short time, and if they can't be dealt with, there will be special high-level knights to deal with them.
As a result, you can only see demonized creatures that have been slaughtered and used as trophies, but you can't see the destroyed territories, and there may be a small number of lumberyards and quarries destroyed, but they can be built at any time for the lords.
Those demonized creatures, when they die, are really dead.
Kant led the team to advance at great speed.
It seems that he sensed their menacing, and he didn't even see any trace of the demonic creatures.
The heavy cavalry, who were still carrying spears at any time and secretly vigilant, did not relax in their hearts, but had some doubts, and looked at the darkness in front of them vigilantly, not daring to be careless.
Unusual is abnormal, and abnormal is dangerous.
Slowdown.
Kant was also aware of this.
Behind the heavy cavalry next to him, the mage apprentice was hugging the neck of the traveling horse, panting for breath from the jolt.
Obviously, such a fierce gallop made it a little difficult for them who were not good at riding.
The Swadia heavy cavalry at the back watched coldly, with no intention of helping, for them, they couldn't even control the traveling horses, just like the mage apprentices who were like students, there was an essential difference.
Similar to melee cavalry, looking down on ranged crossbowmen and archers.
But the mage apprentices didn't care.
They also disdained to have anything to do with these stupid soldiers on horseback.
Instead, he rode his horse to the front, came to Kant's side, and gasped and reported: "Lord Lord, we sense that there are groups of demonized creatures about 300 meters away in front!" ”
"Well done." Kant nodded, squinting at the silent darkness ahead, his face calm.
As he expected.
It's so silent, it's almost eerie, it's impossible if there were no demonic creatures in ambush.
This is the sixth sense of a military man.
Now the reminders of the mage apprentices just proved his guess.
Pulling out the slender knight's sword at his waist, Kant turned his head and said in a solemn voice: "Rest for five minutes, after five minutes, start preparing for battle, go directly into the charging posture, and crush them!" ”
"Yes!" The answer from many of the Svadian heavy cavalry was forceful.
But the five-minute break was not wasted.
By the light released by the burning of the torches, they were all quickly checking the armor and weapons on their bodies, straightening their helmets, tying the linen robes outside the armor, each with a fan-shaped shield on their left gloves, a 2.5-meter spear in their right hand, and a grim face looking at Kant in front of them.
At the end of just five minutes, they were ready, waiting for their lord's orders, and at any moment they could brazenly urge the armored war horses under their crotch to enter the furious charging posture of destruction and dryness.
After more than ten years of hard training and life-and-death struggle on the battlefield, this has almost become their instinct!
"Forward!"
Gripping the knight's sword, Kant rode his horse ahead.
The horseshoe gently taps on the stone pavement.
The sounds in the ancient passages grew louder and louder as they slowly accelerated.
In less than 50 meters, all the Swadian heavy cavalry had already begun to speed up their horses, and the sound of the horseshoe hitting the stone slab began to echo through the ancient passage like rolling thunder.
Even the rattling sound of the underground river was completely muffled.
At the same time, there was the deep darkness of the ancient passage, and the low roar that appeared as if sensing something was wrong.
Demonic creatures are in ambush.
But in just 300 meters, the Swadia heavy cavalry had already entered the posture of charging with all their might, and the roaring thunder was emitted under the feet of the war horses under their crotches, with a violent impact that swept everything, and instantly entered the peak charge moment, the sharp spear drooped directly, and the tip of the spear was facing a position half a meter below the ground.
As long as an enemy appears in this position, the sharp and sturdy tip of the spear, with the blessing of inertia and strength, will instantly pierce the seemingly tough bodies of several demonic creatures, but in fact they are still flesh and blood!
And that's not the beginning, and it's not the only one.
Just behind the 188 Swadian heavy cavalry, the mage apprentices raised their staffs.
"Sharp Gold Blade!"
With a few whispered words, golden light instantly bloomed between the staffs.
And enveloped the heavy cavalry in the front row.
Even the darkness was dispelled a little, and I could vaguely see the demonized creatures that were still in ambush with their eyes closed a hundred meters away, all of them stood up with grinned teeth, opened their scarlet eyes, and began to attack frantically.
But that's what it looks like in a split second.
"For Svadia!"
The Swadian heavy cavalry in the front row roared.
The tip of the spear in his hand, just on the sharp head of the spear, had been dyed with a faint layer of gold at this moment.
And they don't seem to be aware of it.
It's just that when charging, the two sides approach at great speed and stagger.
The sharp spear was like a hot meal knife cutting into the cool butter, easily piercing the fur that should have been tough, tearing the strong muscles, and stabbing directly in the back, and then with the terrifying power of the charge, it continued to stab into the body of the demonized creature behind it, and in an instant, it pierced through it alive!
A series of nearly 3 demonized creatures finally couldn't stabilize due to their heavy weight, so they could only let go and give up the spear, pull out a sharp hand and half a sword with their backhand, and slash wildly from top to bottom.
"Sharp Gold Blade!"
But in the rear, the golden light instantly reappeared.
Another mage apprentice raised the staff in his hand and whispered a few words to use his own spell position.
Although they have never experienced actual battles, the Einface Empire, as a military power, has a lot of military training for these mage apprentices, otherwise they would not be able to compete with other races with ordinary troops.
And how the mage apprentices release their spells at critical times is the most important thing when training!
A golden glow.
On the front battlefield, in the hands of nearly 20 Swadia heavy cavalrymen, a faint golden light suddenly appeared on the half-sword of the hand that was still swinging, and when it was cut down, it easily cut the tough scales, and even the fragile vertebral bones had to be directly cut off, and the blow was fatal!
The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, their whole bodies covered in armor to their calves, and the top war horses that had been honed by battlefield killing, these Svadia armored war horses strode forward without fear, crashing into any demonized creatures that stood in their way.
The sharp fangs and claws could not harm these horses at all.
Although there is a linen cover that is torn and tattered.
Occasionally, a few pieces of the chain mail were torn off from the tight locking rings.
But the war horses did not suffer any casualties, and still ran forward furiously, rushing and crushing the demonized creatures in front of them, and at the same time stepping on them with the weight of their whole bodies, trampling those seriously injured demonized creatures like a pile of mud!
The torches flickering in response to the charge swayed, and the light turned from dim to almost dark.
and so on to be fully finished.
The burning of the torch became stable.
The light illuminates the surrounding scene.
It was still the ancient passage deep underground, and the darkness condensed by the eternal at the end, but the scarlet and green eyes of the demonized creatures were gone, only the war horses were snorting, and the riders were breathing rapidly.
In addition, behind him, the miserable howl that gradually weakened.
Thumped.
