Chapter 153: The Beginning of the War (2)

Guo Lang and his group infiltrated the city wall to act as a protective soldier at the head of the wall, horses are still precious strategic resources in this era, such as cavalry, crossbowmen, and even firearms battalions This kind of relatively high-end troops, Guo Lang and his group will naturally not give priority, because those troops are more valued, and the comrades-in-arms are estimated to be more familiar with each other, so they are not suitable for infiltration.

And they are suitable for these miscellaneous soldiers who are responsible for rolling stones and thunderwood on the wall, according to Al, the royal court of Bara is a nation that came out of the grassland, it is a nation on horseback, although it occupies most of the agricultural land to establish an empire, but the upper class is still proud of riding and archery, and those who can serve as cavalry have a certain status, and what are they responsible for on the wall, thunder stone rolling wood, fire oil and gold juice must be under the status of the troops, because most of them are temporary conscriptions, and the status is very low, so even if they are replaced by two, It won't be noticed!

Alice has a professional secret disguise technique, which can not only change appearance, but also change the size of bones, there is no problem at all in disguise for an adult soldier, Guo Lang imitated Alice's skills and easily mixed it up, and then there was Abel, his figure was still easy to attract the attention of others, after all, in the feudal era, there were still a few low-status miscellaneous soldiers who could grow so strong.

So after thinking about it, Able and Kelly were still in charge of answering not far from the rear, and he and Alice went to the city wall to investigate the situation, and when the two were choosing the task assignment, Guo Lang decisively chose to burn the gold juice, although Alice seemed a little reluctant, but Guo Lang asked, and she could only pout and barely follow.

Guo Lang naturally has his considerations, even if it is a low-level chore, it is divided into three, six, nine and so on, for example, not many people are willing to do this work of burning gold juice.

The so-called gold juice is the juice mixed into all kinds of dung, the smell is incomparable, in this era of cold weapons, the city wall can be said to be the most cost-free high-efficiency items, after this thing is boiled, the taste is more pungent, if it is poured on people, according to the medical conditions of this era, the consequences can be imagined.

Even, it is not impossible to kill directly.

"Dad, it stinks, shall we go over there to carry the rolling wood?" Alice, who was disguised as a young man of more than one meter and seven, said in a low voice and complaining.

Guo Lang waited for her to look: "Don't make trouble, follow me, don't run around!" ā€

Alice: "Woo.........."

The gold juice stinks, so most people will not notice here, especially the high-level people, who not only avoid the scrutiny of those soldiers, but also avoid the attention of more upper-level figures, Guo Lang noticed very early that the middle-aged man on the wall who was wearing a quartermaster's uniform and looked relatively weak was watching the situation on the other side of the wall.

"This person is not like everyone else! This is a very wise man, and he and Alice can't get too close to him! Guo Lang secretly judged.

Neither of them has this kind of experience as low-level cannon fodder, and it is easy to be seen by these keen people from their habitual movements, so it is better to stay away from these people's sight as much as possible.

But there is one thing that Guo Lang is a little strange, in the camp opposite, there seems to be no intention to attack, and from the intelligence point of view, it seems that it has just reached the city, and this situation should not be attacked immediately, but Guo Lang found that the wall looked like a big enemy, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

Suddenly... A heavy trumpet sounded, followed by a powerful drum beating!

This situation made Guo Lang's eyes narrow, because the sound of the horn and the sound of the drum came from his own army, that is..... Are they going to take the initiative?

Guo Lang frowned for a while, from the intelligence point of view, the troops of the Rus Empire were like bamboos all the way, and they were in five cities in a row, and the soldiers were in full swing, and the logic of the general guards was to avoid their edge first, right?

Guo Lang said secretly: "It's so kind, take the initiative to attack, it's really grassland blood, it's a bit tough, but it's ....." Guo Lang looked at the cavalry gathered at the gate of the city wall, a little surprised, generally speaking, most of the grassland knights are good at riding and shooting, and it is rare to see this kind of heavy cavalry.

Just as he was thinking about it, the city gate was wide open, and Guo Lang saw a middle-aged strong man more than two meters tall, wearing exquisite chain mail, holding a knight's spear more than a few meters long, which was a bit similar to the knight's spear in the western history of Guo Lang's main plane from the shape of the weapon!

This spear is a disposable, the front of the shaft is hollow, and once the target is stabbed, the huge reaction force will cause the shaft to shatter. This type of spear, with an average length of 5 meters, is made of brittle fir wood (the wood used to make modern pencils, as you can imagine). The spears were made of wood in the shape of half a spear, then hollowed out inside, glued together and painted with red lacquer, decorated with gold feathers, and crowned with a spear flag behind the spearhead.

The middle and rear of the whole spear is a wooden ball that protects the hand holding the spear. The iron spearhead is small, only about 10 centimeters long, with ridges and a long iron bar behind the spearhead to hold the spearhead to the shaft. Due to the hollow shaft, these spears rarely weigh more than 3 kg, and they have wooden balls to counterweight and a rear-back center of gravity for easy gripping. A cavalryman charging at full speed can pierce an armored enemy with a spear in his hand, but usually the spear is also shattered by the reaction force at the same time.

This kind of disposable spear is a very scientific and reasonable weapon, because the cavalry spear is different from the infantry spear, when the cavalry is assassinated, the horse is fast running, can not stay in the enemy, because once stopped, the stagnant knight, inconvenient to move, will become the best target for a group of infantry.

Even if the knights on both sides are heads-up, the two sides hedge on horseback, and when they are close, they will fight one or two times, and at most they will not exceed 3 times, and the two horses will run away, if the two sides do not distinguish the victory or defeat, and the desire to fight, they will come back, hedge again, fight, and separate the process.

In this way, the two sides drive their horses closer, fight each other, and then run away, and this cycle is called a round. The commentary said that in the old days, the generals fought each other for many rounds, which is to describe this kind of cycle, the so-called Hui, is the process of returning to the horse to fight, and the combination is the process of the two horses approaching, and a round is the two horses hitting each other once. The novelist expands its concept, and refers to foot combat and martial arts master battles as rounds, which is actually not worthy of the name, because foot combat is often glued together, which is very different from horse combat that is one-touch and divided.

Generally speaking, when riding a horse to assassinate, the man borrows the horsepower, the horse borrows the human momentum, and the man and the horse are one, and all the kinetic energy of the rapid sprint of the man and the horse is on the tip of the spear. This power is very huge, and if it is not stable on the horse, even if the enemy is stabbed, the knight will be dismounted, so the problem that must be solved with the spear immediately is how to cushion this reaction force!

After having stirrups, in order to solve the reaction force of the impact, most of the riding spears of this heavy cavalry are used once, and after the impact, the target will be broken, which greatly reduces the reaction force of the impact points, so that the knight will not be penetrated by the reaction force of the war horse. When the spear breaks, the knight draws his sword, sabre, mace, or other melee weapon to continue the fight or return to his squire to get the spear!

Guo Lang silently looked at this seemingly high-level general, with more than a thousand such elite heavy cavalry, like a proud fighter, swarming towards the city gate, and secretly shook his head.

Guo Lang has also experienced a lot of battlefields in his previous life, although he is a dragon character, but he has seen some of the cavalry in the middle and low planes, and the cavalry in front of him is very good in the category of ordinary people, whether it is the spiritual outlook, or the equipment, the formation, it is worthy of the word elite!

But Guo Lang is still not optimistic about them, because their opponents are not ordinary people!
