Chapter 16: Night Attack
"Squeak-" At half past eleven o'clock in the evening of May 4th, near the originally closed wooden castle area of Nottingham, the originally closed wooden wall gate suddenly opened slowly, and then, about 100 heavy cavalry wearing chain mail, iron helmets, and gray or pure black war horses, under the command of a young man wrapped in heavy plate armor and riding a white horse, galloped out of the city gate and marched towards the wasteland in front of the "God Bless" canyon, but to the peculiarity of the recruited spearmen guarding the tower of the city gate, It stands to reason that after so many war horses galloped at the same time, the sound response caused by them should be extremely loud, but when the group of more than 100 heavy cavalry ran forward, he actually didn't even hear the sound of horses' hooves except for the sound of some gravel rolling down on the ground! But after thinking about it, this is also inevitable, since his own king said that he would come here at night to avenge those heroic Hobila Rangers, how could he do it without some ability?
Of course, these conscripted spearmen will never communicate with each other, and even the chainmail cavalry and the general's guards who participated in the night attack do not understand, and they don't understand why Sun Lin just wrapped the horse's hooves with animal skins and wool to reduce the sound of the horses running, because no one in this era can deduce that the sound is produced by vibration.
"Richard, after this recruitment, is our treasury no longer out of money?" Sun Lin, who was wearing heavy plate armor on the winding mountain road, asked the captain of the Richard guard who was walking side by side with him, it stands to reason that the heavy cavalry in the galloping of war horses is completely unable to talk, because the sound of those war horses running is as loud as thunder, according to Richard once said that when he rode a horse for the first time, in order to prevent his ears from being broken, he also deliberately stuffed two balls of cotton in his ears! However, now that the horse's hooves were wrapped, Richard was able to talk freely with the other heavy cavalry while galloping.
"Yes, and when we formed the last group of conscripted spearmen from the Wooden Fort Barracks, due to lack of funds, we had to use 100 pounds of food to fill this hole, but please rest assured, Your Excellency, although the whole area of Nottingham has entered a state of war, our silver miners still dig up military funds for us day and night in the order you have assigned, and I think that as long as we survive the next afternoon, a new batch of silver will be filled into our treasury again, The morale of the soldiers will not be reduced by the question of pay, and at least we can let those who speculate about the emptiness of the London Town Treasury know that we have every fortune to continue to sustain our troops. ”
"Alas! Those hateful merchants, they all want to raise the price of goods to earn gold coins, and even want to threaten me with this, let me send their soldiers into the army to seek all my strength, and become the first nobles in the town of London, it seems that after I go back this time, I will not only take good care of the army, but also take good care of that group of hateful merchants!" Thinking of the merchants in London Town, Sun Lin is really angry and funny, although they are all the population rewarded by the system to Sun Lin, there will definitely be no traitors and the like, but the businessman's natural idea of maximizing profits has made this group of merchants who have been sent by the system unite after discovering that Nottingham has been attacked, while spreading the news that Sun Lin will return to London Town to recruit troops to fill the defensive gap in the Nottingham area, and at the same time raising the price of all war resources in the market, Let all those who wish to help defend Nottingham be stopped, and Sun Lin had also gone to ask the group of merchants what they wanted to do before they set out. And the answer was to make money, until Sun Lin began to recruit troops, he didn't know that this group of merchants actually wanted to cut off Sun Lin's source of soldiers and weapons, so that Sun Lin could compromise with them and sign some kind of contract, but what this group of merchants never expected was that Sun Lin recruited troops without consuming the population in the town at all, and as long as the treasury had money, these troops could be mass-produced indefinitely.
"Your Excellency General, then will we give them ......... when we go back" Richard made a "cut" gesture on his chest under the cover of night, but Sun Lin just shook his head: "I have another way, I promise to make them obedient to me from now on." The murderous aura in Richard's eyes was suppressed.
Looking at the flickering gaze in Sun Lin's eyes, the smart Richard seemed to have seen Sun Lin pinching the lives of those merchants in Sun Lin's own hands, and after silently mourning for those poor merchants, Richard clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and continued to gallop out of the original night raid location.............
Half-orc barracks....... Well, using the word "barracks" to describe the half-orc camp tonight is too insulting to the word "barracks", on the vast wasteland, with a few tents as the center, there are dwarf orc slingers lying on the dirt all around, needless to say, those tents needless to say, only fools don't know that there are tribal leaders and big warriors in the tribe who live in the half-orcs, and as for the tribal warrior level, there is no such good treatment, It's just that they have the right to sleep on the warm fur of the domesticated wolf, and the most speechless thing is that these orcs don't know what night sentry and patrol is, that is, all the members of this group of orc legions are currently in a state of sleep.
“…………… I said Richard, are you absolutely going to think too much of the combat ability of this group of orcs? What a legion! It's clearly a mob of exiles! With such a little equipment, I can beat only one person from my 3 teams of Hobilara Rangers? Can't my Hobbier Rangers even beat the peasants? Sun Lin rode Bai Xue and stood outside the half-orc barracks, helplessly looking at this group of half-orcs who were all sleeping like dead pigs, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, you must know that the three teams of Hobila Rangers are all light cavalry wearing chain mail, and the enemies they face are all half-orc cannon fodder who use animal skins to wrap their important parts casually!
"I'm sorry General, but I have one thing to remind you that it was not these orc trash who fought against the Hobila Rangers at that time, but the half-orc wolf slingers who raided the Hobila Rangers. Throwing off all those Hobila Rangers and making them die of trampling is also the reason why the bodies of those Hobila Rangers are in fragments, and I think those Hobila Rangers have performed quite well, and they can be 1 with 2 or even 3 with the enemy soldiers in the case of enemy raids, long-range harassment, etc., which already shows that they are all brave and good knights. ”
"But the problem is that our enemies are completely garbage and slaves, not warriors, can the combat effectiveness of a basic warrior be compared to that of a peasant?"
"This ............."
"Forget it, none of this is the point now, Richard, and let me ask you a question, will our warhorses be frightened by those domesticated wolves?"
"No, because our horses are not inferior horses ridden by the Hobila Rangers."
"Are our soldiers ready?"
"Alright."
"It's time for the battle to begin............ Richard, blow the trumpet and let the two teams of chainmail horses in the distance all start charging towards the orc camp! ”
"Yes!"
"Woo-" A desolate horn suddenly sounded in the vast plain, although the orcs were first-class in terms of military discipline, but out of the orc-like battle instinct, the half-orcs who were originally lying on the ground all woke up, and slowly stood up and began to curse loudly, who woke up their good dreams, but then, the sound of the earth trembling made these orcs all panic.
"Da ..............." As the earth trembled more and more, the originally panicked half-orc military camp became more chaotic, although those half-orc warriors who were leaning on the tamed wolf had already ridden the wolf and yelled at the surrounding half-orcs, hoping to make them quiet, but unfortunately the voices of these half-orc warriors were not so loud, and before they shouted a few times, they were directly pulled down from the tamed wolf by the panicked half-orc slinger, although I don't know what this means.
For some reason, the dark clouds that originally covered the moon suddenly disappeared, and the originally dim earth was illuminated by the sprinkled moonlight, and when the silver-white moonlight society was on the 102 heavy cavalry, the orcs in the camp finally saw these "human tanks" covered in silver light, and at the same time, the orc slingers standing on the outermost periphery suddenly realized that these guys who were very similar to the warriors who rode wolves in their own legion seemed to be less than 5 steps away from themselves! And in the next second, all the orcs standing on the periphery heard the sound of many bones breaking, as for whose bones? How can a dead man still know the truth?
PS: Changed the attributes of the lower half of the orcs, it is recommended to take a look.
