Volume X, Chapter 29

Although it is said that a small victory has just been achieved, this does not guarantee what the final result will be, and it depends on the development of the battle situation.

Two hundred meters is already a very close distance, and it is only a short time for a charging war horse to reach it. But this qiΔ“ variable is also generated from this short two hundred meters.

"Woo woo!!" Vickers blew two horns with all his might, one long and one short, and these two sounds were exactly the timing of what they had planned!

Three long and one short are arrays, two long and one short are charges, and one long and one short is to start tactics against this group of infantry!

The infantry were on the lookout, but the situation was more than they knew.

"Go!!" the cavalry in the front row shouted, and then, in the astonishment of the infantry opposite, put away the charging rifles and ran to the upper right. There was no continuing deathly rush to the infantry spears.

Along with this, the two cavalrymen in the second row were divided into two and ran in the upper left and upper right directions.

The hundreds of cavalry of the "Boom !!" formed two teams like the cavalry in front of them.

It was as if the surging river suddenly split into two streams from the middle of the river, and the torrent of steel composed of hundreds of people parted in the astonishment of the enemy.

"This is ......" Abdullah watched the enemy continue to divide in a torrent of confusion, could it be that the enemy's purpose in doing this was to kill his own morale, and let his soldiers slack off in such fatigue tactics? No, absolutely not. Abdullah didn't think anyone would be so bored. So, what are they for?

Staring at the wedge-shaped array of cavalry that was constantly separating in front of him, Abdullah's pupils suddenly contracted. The enemy's separation stopped abruptly, and then he saw a group of cavalrymen with curved bows in their hands putting arrows on their strings and flying out of the formation at a rapid pace.

These cavalrymen totaled more than thirty horsemen, and the well-textured compound bows and quivers pinned to the horses all showed that this was a group of horse archers!

Riding archers, as the name suggests, are also shooters on horseback. So so. Only the centaur people have strong attacking archers, because the centaurs live in the grasslands where resources are scarce, so they have no materials and no ability to make strong and gorgeous armor like humans or dwarves, but they combine their congenital lower body is the advantage of horses, with the bow and arrow in their hands. Become the best mounted archers and use their bows and arrows to kill their enemies.

In ancient times and even in today's world, this is a headache and a feared class. In fact, it is said that there was no centaur race in this western continent before, and centaurs came from a distant country in the east a long time ago. They relied on their innate mobility to wage war with some mysterious country in the East for hundreds of years. There are wins and losses. Evenly divided. But just a thousand years ago, the emperor of the great eastern country decided to raise an army to attack the centaur country, and his soldiers drove the centaurs all the way, and finally the weak centaur tribe decided to split into two parts, one chose to stay in the original land, and fought against the eastern empire, as for the group of stubborn centaurs, their later results are not known. The other part chose to move westward, deciding to stay away from this war-torn place.

And then later. After the centaurs were expelled from the Eastern Continent, the people of the Western Continent also learned the power of the centaurs. The centaurs who migrated west decided to establish a new tribe in the steppes east of the Tolian Empire, which was originally a powerful empire in the Western Continent, but their luck was not good, and the Centaurs and the orcs in the north of the empire together cut the Tolian Empire, the only empire in the Western Continent, to pieces in less than a hundred years!

In the battle of the centaurs, the cavalry gave them a great shock and inspiration, and the people of the Western Continent also began to follow the example, forming their own cavalry and archery units according to the appearance of the centaur salvo, although it was determined that these human cavalry archers could not be comparable to the centaurs, but this also had a good effect, even if they could not defeat the enemy on the frontal battlefield, at least it was a good choice to weaken the enemy's strength on the battlefield. With high-speed maneuvers and long-range attacks, these mounted archers are the best fighters for harassment warfare.

"Woo Woo !!" The archers bent over, squinted one eye, and aimed at the enemy troops. Then his eyes glared at the arrows that he had placed on the bowstring and shot out, and the sound of the bow and arrows breaking through the air could make people's eardrums hurt, and you can imagine the consequences of these bows and arrows on people.

"Ahh

"Bang!"

..................

A series of screams and the sound of corpses falling to the ground came from Abdullah's array. Although the archers could not annihilate the enemy with an incomparable charge like the heavy cavalry, it was more than enough to break up the enemy's formation with bows and arrows. I saw that after a few people fell to the ground, the disadvantages of only receiving a short training were reflected, and after the infantry fell to the ground, there were some gaps in this dense gun formation, at least, the formation was not so dense, and those militiamen did not quickly make up for it, but looked at the archers in a daze.

After the formation was broken up, the ..................

"Charge !!!!"

"Charge !!!"

The spearmen who had originally scattered into two teams reformed two wedge-shaped formations, and when the archers disrupted the enemy's formation after shooting arrows, the lancers accurately grasped the timing of the opponent's chaotic formation, and took advantage of his illness to kill him!

Behind them, the yellow sand was flying straight with the spears, and a suffocating aura was coming from the cavalry, their eyes full of murderous energy, and they wanted to wash away the defeat they had just achieved from these infantry with blood.

The infantrymen who had just been hit by a round of bows and arrows had not had time to fill the gap in the gun formation before they were shocked by the opponent's charge!

Without a dense array of spears, like a lion without teeth, the lancers were free to come and go, and with the great power of their charge, they strangled the enemy to death.

A cavalryman rushed into the formation and sent his spear straight into the body of a flesh-and-blood body. Bones, hearts, and blood vessels were crushed and shattered by the tremendous power of the spear, and then erupted into the air.

The horses are roaring, the warriors are neighing. Repent of his previous mistakes, the object of repentance is God, and the sacrifice is human blood! The day's battle has passed, and the only testimony left is the corpses of the enemy, the dried blood, the severed arms and various organs scattered all over the ground. Even the air was filled with the red of blood, and the vultures of the sky were after the cavalry left. Greedily swooped down, pecking at the body of the deceased one by one, and a breath of death revealed in his dark eyes. These guys. It is the greedy and the witness of death.

After a fierce battle, the cavalry, after chasing the remnants of the infantry, allowed the opposing commander to escape, but this did not affect their mood after the victory. There is no commander of the army. Can you still be a commander? You know. Leaving his army in ruins means that the commander is likely to face punishment from his lord.

He may be removed from his position, or his head cut off as an example! Who likes a man who cannot bring victory and good news?

What if he had another army? Vickers didn't think that this commander would be able to retrain an infantry like the one he had encountered during the day before Alphonse breached the city. The other party is like a disarmed lion, with only a brave brain left, but no strong enough body.

But Vickers had a vague feeling that he was with the commander who had escaped by chance. We will definitely meet again someday in the future, maybe on the battlefield. Maybe somewhere else......

......Luckily, Vickers found a map of the desert from the commander of the royal guard of the previous cavalry unit, which not only marked the coordinates of the towns of the Iqzar dynasty, but also outlined the nearby water sources in blue letters. This is the solution to the immediate needs of this army.

But...... It's a pity that Vickers can't read the marching map, not that he doesn't understand the military symbols in it at all, if it's in the plains or mountains, Vickers can easily identify it, Shabak is a very responsible knight and teacher, he is enough to teach Vickers the way of marching, but in this desolate and sandy land with the same scenery in all directions.

Fortunately, among the remaining three hundred and eighty-four people, there were a few people who had been professionally trained or had lived in the desert, and after checking and discussing with each other, the cavalry finally found an oasis before the night was completely dark.

A cozy, desert paradise.

If heat and dryness are the natural barriers that God (Allah) has given to desert people from outsiders, then the oasis is the concrete expression of God's gifts.

The sound of the warhorse's thirsty drinking water came from the lake in the oasis, and the foals who had been running in the desert for a day rarely enjoyed this moment of tranquility.

The warriors took off their wartime armor and lay down in the lake of the oasis to calm their somewhat noisy hearts, knowing that after a fierce battle, because a person's nerves may be overly tense, the probability of nervous confusion and mental breakdown is very high.

On the battlefield, everyone's life and death are uncertain, and they don't know if they will be able to come back alive tomorrow, and everyone is on the verge of a mental breakdown. At this time, as long as there is a little wind and grass, it may be just a soldier's nightmare scream, which can detonate the hysterical and crazy atmosphere in the battalion, and the soldiers are completely free from the shackles of military discipline.

It can be said that every officer deliberately avoided the occurrence of the bombing of the camp, so he always took a proper rest after a day or a few days of fatigue in the army to prevent it.

Vickers picked up the water from the shore of the lake with his hands, slowly washing his sweaty cheeks, letting the cold droplets glide over his face, nothing was more pleasing than the coolness of the heat.

"This day is over...... Wix muttered to himself, although this time he used his wit to avoid the annihilation of the troops and annihilate the enemy, but this does not mean that he has obtained control of this army, and few people can completely obey him. The battle during the day was just a victory that Vickers had taken advantage of the temporary confusion of the people.

People who are in fear are always the most likely to be taken advantage of. Because at that time, people were in a state of confusion in their own thoughts, and as long as there was a glimmer of hope, they would be grasped by the fearful people as if they were their saviors.

Now, although Vickers proved his importance in the army through this battle, he did not let these more than 300 people who were at ease really obey him, and although they were grateful to Vickers in their hearts, they were more ambitious about how to earn the command of this army. Even after returning to the large forces under the command of Alphonse. This force will be disrupted again, but I believe that the commander of this force, the commander who led this group of troops to completion, will definitely be able to gain favor in front of the new king. Even if you take a step forward because of this, you may not be able to say anything.

"That's it, the human heart is such a thing......" The washing of the cold water made Vickers's somewhat hot brain clear up for a while, today during the day. After defeating the enemy. Something happened that annoyed him very much.

I didn't expect that there would be a struggle for power in such a small team of less than 400 people, and indeed where there were people, there would be struggles, and talent was the most warlike species in heaven and earth!

――――――――― suddenly discovered something―――――――――

Since China has had aircraft carriers, aircraft carriers have become mobile coffins. I see, no wonder MD wants to mothball 4 aircraft carriers! In this way, our country has only killed 4 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of MD at once. It turns out that there is such an inside story! A medium-sized conventional-powered aircraft carrier killed four heavy nuclear-powered aircraft carriers at once. So. As long as we build another heavy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, won't we also kill the last six aircraft carriers of the MD at once?

Sure enough, Minzhu's aircraft carrier is an unsinkable battle bunker. And dictatorship is a living target!

Also, please pay attention to a post at the top of the comment area, I hope you can participate in it, so that you can appear in this book and become a novel for everyone.

By the way, I also ask you to support another contemptible novel, "Lin Dengwan's Ambition", a "realistic" novel of "Yan SΓΉ". A desert is a barren area where the ground is completely covered with sand, plants are very scarce, rain is scarce, and the air is dry. The desert is also known as the "sand curtain", an area where there is a shortage of water and few plants. It is also known as the forbidden area of life.

The lack of water and the scorching sun are baking and testing the willpower of human beings, and if you are not familiar with the desert and have made a lot of preparations, you may have given your life here.

Even nature, with its unpredictable power, has no way to allow too many lives to survive here, except for the talented desert boat camel, only cacti, eagle, gerbil, jerboa, desert snake, lizard and other tenacious life forms that can adapt to the desert are left.

However, there are exceptions to this time, just like why ordinary beasts can evolve into magical beasts, there are also some powerful magical beasts in the desert, they may be hidden in the vast yellow sand on weekdays, and only when hunting for food will they emerge from the sand, scanning the surroundings with their piercing eyes.

Compared to the monsters in the plains, grasslands, or forests, the monsters in the desert are often more deadly. Because of the scarcity of biological species and the scarcity of water resources in the desert, these monsters will bury themselves in the sand and temporarily enter a dormant state when there is no food source to save their bodies, but once a life form approaches, these creatures that bury themselves in the sand will reveal their hideous side.

One of the more famous historical allusions is that part of the Desert Expeditionary Force of the Tolia Empire, more than 10,000 people were suddenly found in the yellow sand by hundreds of seventh-level demonic beasts [War Sand Scorpions] that suddenly appeared in the yellow sand, and only a few cavalry escaped by luck. Although some people in later generations analyzed that this was a trap deliberately set by the desert tribe that was confronting the Tolia Empire at that time, the prestige of the desert monster has since spread.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the deepening understanding of Warcraft by human beings.

In view of the difference in the danger of Warcraft, the intelligent creatures in this world have divided all Warcraft into grades according to class, from one to nine. In total, there are nine different levels of danger.

1~3, which belongs to the low-danger level, a professionally trained warrior is fully capable of solving these monsters on his own. The creatures represented are the humanoid goblins, although they have a simple tribal life, but in the eyes of intelligent beings, goblins are nothing more than a group of standing green-skinned monsters.

Level 4~6, which belongs to the medium danger level, the definition of this group of demonic beasts is - unless there are more than ten troops, do not act rashly. Warcraft of this level can already instantaneously perform some simple magic. Or have a strong body that can resist swords, guns, swords, and halberds.

When it comes to medium-dangerous Warcraft, we have to talk about the great intelligence of intelligent creatures. In the process of confrontation between humans, dwarves and other subhumans and orcs such as centaurs and harpies, humans deeply discovered the gap in their own body elements. For example, the Hippogriff can easily fly high beyond the range of their bow and arrow, and then throw their weapon downward, and anything thrown from a height of several hundred meters, whether it is a sharp javelin or a small stone, is enough to cause great damage!

How is it possible for a human body to be compared to those gifted orcs, especially the special abilities of various orcs. Flying, running, swimming.................. After a long period of exploration and failure. Humans and other subhuman creatures have mastered a way to compete with orcs, and that is the different ways to tame monsters for each race.

Why is it different? The difference is not only the method of taming, but also the object of taming. For example, according to their size, attributes and living area, the dwarven clan chooses to tame the three main types of land riding troops: the fifth-level demonic beast [Polar Bear], [Highland Bear], and [Forest Bear], because the dwarven clan itself likes to live in the mountains. So taming the giant bear is their best bet, of course. They also have their own flying class, [Griffin] a kind of magical beast between level 5 and 6, although their flight altitude is only 500 meters at the highest, and only 400 meters after carrying dwarves, but this kind of magical beast that is very easy to feed and breed is still loved by the deep dwarf clan. Of course, this also has to do with the fact that griffins are not huge, after all, the dwarves are not very tall species by name.

Humans also have tame species, but due to the wide distribution of human beings and the differences in living habits, they will not be explained here, but the main known taming objects of humans are the road lizards - that is, the submer species, or dinosaurs, or monster horses. Flying is also tame against a variety of wurms......

When it comes to dragons, we have to say that the top creatures in level 7~9, the top of the level 9 creatures - dragons! They have strong bodies, long and thick necks, horned or frilly heads, sharp teeth, and a long tail. It walks with four powerful steps, flying with a pair of giant wings that resemble batwings, and its body is covered in scales to protect it. Its eyes have four layers of eyelids, the inner three of which are transparent to protect the eyes from damage, and ears that can be opened and closed, but not all dragons have outer ears. The teeth are sharp and sharp, usually bent inwards in order to tear apart the prey.

Dragons have a hundred times more eyesight than humans, can see in the dark, and have much better hearing than humans. And it feels even better, being able to feel invisible objects moving. Dragons can fly, walk, swim, and some can breathe in water. They can easily fly thousands or tens of thousands of meters in the air and soar in this world.

Except for the ninth-level creatures that can compete with it and the strongest among the human beings, no creature can compare to this kind of existence, not even a young dragon!

Without an army of 10,000 people, it would be impossible to defeat a full-grown dragon!

Therefore, for a cavalry detachment of 400 people on a mission outside, it is basically impossible for such a thing as the extremely small chance of encountering a giant dragon, but if it happens............

"Dragon, dragon, dragon!" Rose River looked at the dark shadow that was getting closer and closer in the distance, his mouth slowly opened, his eyes slowly became unconscious, and then he shouted out as if someone had slashed a sword.

"It's the dragon!!" Rose River's voice trembled, and Rose River, who had no fear even in the face of the infidel's spear, trembled irrepressibly at this moment. (To be continued......)
