Chapter 015

"How do you know it's Harris who won?" said Arene, a little confused.

"Look at the corpses on the ground, the troops have moved in a marching array, and they have met a Kugit hussar unit, and many people have died in a straight line," she said, reaching out to draw a long line, and the Vigian looked down her hand, and there were several dead bodies scattered on the ground.

"In the snowstorm, the commander anxiously ordered the infantry to form a circle to defend in a circle, relying on shields and spears and the fire of the archers on the inside to force this small group back, but the commander thought he had won the battle and let the army chase all the way, otherwise we should have seen Harris retreat with his men on the way to the Riva chariot."

Fatis listened to this judgment, looked around again, and nodded in agreement.

And yet at this very moment

A feathered arrow pierced through the thin layer of snow and struck one of the Vekia soldiers in the team, and with a scream, the victim fell to the ground.

"Enemy Attack - !!"

The surrounding snow and fog faintly revealed the galloping figures, and the group of forty recruits encountered the enemy attack for the first time, and they all panicked for a while, most of them fell to the ground, holding their shields high to protect their heads, and some remained motionless, not knowing what to do.

"Gather all the people, those with shields outside, those with bows and arrows and throwing weapons on the inside!" said Fatis, who had a wealth of combat experience, at this moment he used his talents as a leader to gather the young soldiers. A hedgehog-shaped circle is formed against the nomads surrounding it. Although javelins and arrows were coming more and more frequently, shields negated most of the damage, and the archers on the inside were able to return fire from time to time.

"It's not going to work like this, we are smaller than them. Harris's tactics may not work: "Alleyne only has a sword and a lance in his hand, and there is nothing he can do against the cavalry who shoots in a circle.

The wind and snow had a great impact on the shooting of both sides, but after all, the Kugit people were experienced, and the troops of Lorna and others had been repeatedly killed and wounded several times, and the blood splashed by their companions was a very big blow to morale, and the girl who was the commander felt a little uneasy.

An arrow grazed Fatis's left ear and struck the shoulder of one of the men in front of him. Vacancies began to appear in the shield array.

"Lorna look over there"

The middle-aged man suddenly seemed to see something, he tugged at the girl's sleeve, and Lorna turned her head to see a shadow with a flag flying through the fog.

"That's it"

In the army of the Kugit Khanate. Cavalry archers were the main force of the army, unable to compete head-on with the heavy cavalry of Swadia or Salander, and often relied on various details and tactics to drag down or wear down the opponent, but such a formation required a high degree of skill, and the command of the banner was silent, so that the enemy army could not find out their own movements, and the most important thing was to make sure that the enemy army could not find out their own movements. Soldiers, on the other hand, must have a high level of tactical literacy.

"Okay got it"

See the flag rider. Lorna secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took out the flying knife from the bag around her waist, and then reached out and grabbed a strand of her hair, slowly grasping the strength of the tip of the hair that was suppressed in the strong wind Suddenly, she raised her head towards the shadow behind the mist, and the flying knife in her hand flew out of her hand neatly-

"Hmm-"

Only a muffled sound could be heard in the cold wind, and Fatis vaguely saw the figure of the cavalryman holding the flag fall off his horse, and the bows and arrows and spears around him gradually thinned out, and then the sound of horses' hooves was faintly faint, and the nomad left. They let go of the young troops, who had never tasted blood, for the time being

The vast Kugit grassland, a rich land.

Once. The horseback people had watered the fertile pastures with their hard work and sweat, and now only the Svadian crimson banner was stretched in the lonely wind, and when the main army of the knight kingdom was about to descend on the city of Halma, and the past glory of the nomads was in danger of being destroyed, the king of the steppe had to personally lead the elite iron horsemen to expel the demons

Ser Claes of De Herim, Reys of Reyndi, and Berlands, the lord of Fort Lundia, looked proudly and proudly at the enemy in front of them, who had taken Fort Ahuen, St. Ruz Goddar and other important towns along the way, they had completely ignored Kugit's army, in their opinion, the heavily armored knight regiment of Swadia could slaughter these horse bandits like grinding wheat on a millstone, and the result was and was unlikely to be much different now.

Soon, the Khan's Golden Horde appeared in the cavalry arrays of Kugit.

"Look, we will soon be able to go home and be reunited with our relatives. "When Count Reys saw that the Great Khan had personally led his army to meet the battle, he knew that the war had reached its final stage.

"Don't get carried away, if the other party's king has the courage to come out, there will definitely be a way to deal with us. Sir Claes, like all great generals, was able to remain conscious after victory, and he looked sideways at the two young men beside him, who had only obtained the fiefdom of the castle by virtue of his family status, and he could not help but feel a little worried in his heart.

But as the saying goes: newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. It is not a good thing for a child who has never seen anything to fight for the first time, and the fearlessness of the two young men played a great role in the battle in the bloody battle of Ahuenbo.

Keeping their bravery and recklessness under control was the first thing the old nobles thought of

Looking at the high-morale Svadians, Saiga Khan looked around at the left and right soldiers, compared to the well-trained knights of the other side, his own nomadic cavalry did have a gap in combat quality, but on the other hand, it took more than ten years of hard training to become a knight, but it could not resist the farmer's powerful crossbow, as long as he won once, the offense and defense of the two sides in the big battle situation will have a earth-shaking reversal

Fisnard.

"After investigating, the village has been occupied by the Kujits, and most of the original villagers have been murdered. ”

In order to protect against attacks along the way. Lorna took the thirty-two surviving hunters and fishermen along the usual paths, all the way to the outskirts of the Far East village of Vekia.

"There were many nomadic cavalry stationed in the area, no more than in the Battle of Jayek. Fatis quietly poked his head out from above and looked down.

"Captain"

"What's wrong?" a sent Vekia scout seemed to bring back some news, and the girl turned around. I saw that there was one more man behind him.

"Hello, Miss Montlon, I am Lord Harespoye's lieutenant, and about half a day ago we had another encounter with these bandits five miles from here, and we were scattered by their cavalry, though most of the brethren were not dead," the man paused abruptly.

"Most people are alive? Isn't that good?" said Ellen with some joy at receiving the information.

"But Lord Harris was snowing heavily at the time, and Lord Harris and I lost our way and rushed into the enemy line. I was hit by an arrow and escaped by pretending to be dead."

Lorna looked at him with embarrassment on her face, and motioned for him not to say any more.

"He's locked up in Fesnard?"

"Hmm. It was in the tent at the easternmost point of the village, that I and a group of brothers had already figured it out. ”

"Then you can wait here, I'll just go alone," Lorna couldn't help but sigh when she heard this expected situation. "Fatis. Help me take off my chain mail."

Fatis tried to grab the shoulder collar of the chain mail, and watched the girl break free from the iron cloth with some difficulty: "No problem, are you alone?"

"Too many people will be troublesome," Lorna straightened her wrinkled shirt as she put the chainmail robe into her uncle's arms, "you go and contact the scattered soldiers, and then go to the nearby mountains** If I don't come back, the army will be under the command of Fatis." She removed two daggers and throwing knives from her coat, but kept the handguard sword.

"Remember, you can only wait here for half a day. All of them withdrew to Ε½ivatčeΕΎ and sought Rodrapoye's assistance. ”

"Well, I see. Fatis took her armor and sword. Nodding

Reis ordered the cavalry to come forward. ”

Seeing from afar that the heavily armored knights of his opponent were ready to attack, Saiga Khan gestured to the left and right flag bearers, and the nomadic archers began to make irregular movements in the reformation under the signal of different banners, a situation that Sir Claes had never encountered before.

return

However, the knights were equipped with excellent armor, and even if they broke into the formation and were surrounded, as long as the follow-up troops rescued effectively, they could still fight their way out of the siege and inflict heavy losses on the enemy, after all, the old saying that "a heavily armed Kalad can collapse half of the wall" is not for nothing. So the battle-hardened old aristocrat decided to give it a gamble.

"Great Khan, here they are!"

"Let Utchaka and Tulugo scatter the men to the right and left, and let the cavalry in. ”

The lancers defending the Khan's Golden Horde suddenly withdrew, and Sir Claes began to notice that something was wrong, and the archers around him began to trap the incoming knights and launch circular fires, and the armored corps, which was inferior in speed, soon became passively beaten.

"Crossbowmen!"

Swadia's archers quickly stepped forward at the critical moment to attack the cavalry archery from the perimeter, and the dazed Reys finally found a breakthrough in the rain of arrows, and the knights lost nearly a third, but did not let Claes lose all the chances of victory.

"Well, that general seems to be very experienced. ”

Seeing that his elaborate strategy of annihilating the opposing knights was dissolved by the other party's sophisticated dissolution, the king of the steppe issued a heartfelt admiration.

"Khan, do you want the lancers to break through?" Kujit Xiao drove Nayan Tulu Ge to ask for the Khan's opinion.

"Well, do it. ”

The Swadia army was a little panicked in the face of the overwhelming nomadic cavalry, and some of the hoplites suffered heavy losses, but under the command of the commander-in-chief, a phalanx of spears was established on the inner line and forced it back, and the two sides fought each other here, and the fighting continued until the evening, when they each gave up and brought the army back to the camp.
