Chapter 502: Helgen's Defeat (Part I)
"What's going on! Here's how it goes! After looking at his mount under him, he suddenly fell to the ground and convulsed, and after choking his breath randomly, Narniv, the supreme commander of the United Kingdom of Helgen, roared angrily at the people around him, but the scene that followed turned Narniv's angry face into horror: under Narnif's gaze, whether it was the reindeer ridden by the guards around him, or the reindeer ridden by the Helgen army around him and even in the distance, they all began to fall in pieces. The symptoms they exhibit after falling are exactly the same as when their mounts died, and of course even the Kodo beasts used to carry mysterious war equipment in the Sunset Army. However, as the culprit of all this: Henry, he would not tell Narniv that these Kodo Beasts were actually used for sacrifice, and Henry would not tell Narniv that the mysterious war equipment carried by those Kodo Beasts had already been assembled before the war under the rush of those Mo Forging Engineers in the army!
"Not good! These grasses are poisonous, seal the reindeer's mouths! "Discerning is a necessary skill for a more suspicious person, so Narniv soon found that the forage growing around him would be much higher than before, and it would be extremely shiny, so Narniv immediately said that the best way to make up for the loss of the sheep was to do so, but as the sun did not set if he wanted to use these poisonous weeds to frame Helgen's side, of course, it was impossible to sacrifice hundreds of Kodo beasts to roar, and watch these reindeer cavalry seal the mouths of the reindeer with masks, so that these reindeer can live, The reindeer cavalry regained the ability to fight on horseback.
"Attack!" The horn sounded, and the soldiers who were originally in the middle of the army spread out to the surroundings in the form of a central flower, and the members of the longbow guards holding purple-shirted longbows marched the fastest, just more than 100 meters, and there were countless wooden stakes as obstacles, and they crossed in less than half a minute, and then a huge rain of armor-piercing arrows followed, of course, their target was definitely not those reindeer cavalry in a state of walking, Rather, it was the reindeer who had the potential to make a reversal on Helgen's side, and in order to make Helgen's side unable to react in wartime, these Longbow Guards all started the mode of territorial suppression at about the same time.
"Kill!" And just as the longbowmen began to rain arrows, there was a desperate situation in the army of the sunset: when the covers on the bulky transports were removed, no less than 10 huge dwarven centurions stood up under the control of the Moforges, and then stood around the baggage convoys, apparently they were tasked with guarding the retreat of the baggage, and at the same time guarding the troops. There is also another weapon of war that also comes from the school of engineering on which the sun never sets: the number of secret room guards has reached more than 4,000.
Obviously, the reason why Henry did this was not really to protect the food and grass and war consumables in the convoy, but to add a fire to make Helgen more convinced that this convoy had weapons that could immediately capture the Ottoman Imperial City: Henry knew that in such a situation, Helgen's side would definitely retreat, after all, in the hearts of these Helgen soldiers, the appearance of the soldiers who never set in front of them, coupled with the death of their own mounts, looked like they had been calculated, And the one whose mount is not dead will definitely escape on the reindeer at the first opportunity.
Not to mention Henry's request for his own soldiers to be annihilated on Helgen's side in this battle, it is not permissible for a commander to let a potentially threatening cavalry flee the battlefield, so Henry puts these war machines out and guards them on the perimeter of the convoy. Desperate counterattacks to prevent the soldiers on the Helgen side from approaching the convoy.
"The enemy is doing this to defend what's in the convoy! Soldiers! We must thwart the conspiracy on which the sun never sets! "As the first heir to the throne, Narniv, because the achievements he has shown since he was a child are won by himself, so although this guy who has just finished his coming-of-age ceremony is the youngest general in the army, the reputation he has accumulated in the army can be regarded as one of the best, so as soon as Narniv spoke, the original turbulent military spirit was stabilized, and as Narniv personally blew the horn of attack with his own horn, the whole army of 120,000 or reindeer mounts, The Helgen soldiers, who had lost their reindeer mounts, drew their sabers at their waists and launched a counter-charge with javelins, and went to meet the Lancester macers who had crossed the body of the longbow and charged towards them.
Under the attack of the javelins on Helgen's side, these second-line troops who are cannon fodder can be said to have suffered heavy casualties, after all, even if the armor casting technique of the sun never sets is advanced, the armor that belongs to leather armor cannot be strong enough to resist the penetration ability of the javelin. And after the javelin rain, the Helgen reindeer cavalry, riding a reindeer weighing at least twice the weight of an ordinary war horse, rushed into the Sunset Charge with the huge steel bones of the reindeer, and immediately tore open several openings.
If it is replaced by general cannon fodder such as spear militia, peasants, etc., it is estimated that the whole line will be defeated in such an impact, but it is a pity that the Leinster hammer soldiers who are professional cannon fodder will not, on the contrary, they also use their own flesh and blood to surround all these reindeer cavalry that killed their comrades, and at this time, the reindeer cavalry as an archer type has an inferior root in close combat, especially the reindeer cavalry, which can be regarded as a heavy archer, But in fact, these weights come from the weight of the mount itself, the archers, their so-called unique to the Northern Continent, in their area of the comprehensive strength of the mount is second only to the nightmare horse and the Norman horse war reindeer, under the hammer of the mace, not even to make these war reindeer whose personalities are more hot than the average reindeer have a chance to go crazy, so they let out a piece of mournful sound that belongs to the reindeer before death.
This situation also made Narnif, as the commander of Helgen's side, half heartbroken, because he was still at a low point in the terrifying morale of the army on which the sun never set, and then he was pained to find that the reindeer cavalry had fallen in pieces under a double-edged giant axe - apparently, the reindeer cavalry with mounts in his hands was finished after meeting Mishaal's heavy axemen.
