Chapter 294: The Pursuers Arrive
The Peaks are a rare porcupine who is no less powerful than some powerful races, Beamon. Dio was a veteran who had participated in King Wadison's raids. In that battle, which suffered heavy casualties, he not only survived, but also made some contributions. There is no doubt that Dior has now become a hero in Beamon.
But the years are merciless, Dior is old after all, so he is actually retiring in this quiet town. Every day is to drink, brag, and tell those hot-blooded Beamon teenagers about the past. Although the same story has been told thousands of times, the number of kills has increased from single to ten, ten to hundred, and now it is also "marching" to thousands. However, all the men, women and children in the small town believe that the old hero Audi is indeed very good at war.
Early this morning, Dior wandered to the tavern in the city, ready to start his daily routine "life". Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, he was summoned by the city lord. When they arrived, they learned that a Borg priestess had reported that she had just escaped from a group of humans. And those humans have committed "heinous crimes" in the city of Guure, and are now wanted by the entire kingdom.
...... is this news?
But then, the priestess named Thea swore in the name of the god of war that she had escaped from humanity because she had overheard a shocking secret. The details of this secret are not to be disclosed, and Thea is to tell Clark herself to crown him. But...... King Wadison is dead.
And this time, everyone believes in eight or nine points. No matter how much you joke, you can't joke about the god of war and the king, right?
Such a small town. I don't pay much attention to the deliberations. And so the people began to gossip. In the midst of the noise, Thea's identity was first determined. In the small town there is Beamon, who knows the father and daughter of Hagu. Then, it's time to deal with the news.
Send someone to escort Thea to the city of Guure, send messengers to nearby towns to verify and report, and send spies to follow the traces of the human ....... These are all meant by themselves. But...... How to deal with this group of humans?
If there is difficulty, of course, find a specialist. So all the dignitaries of the city came to inquire about Dior. And Dior's answer was also in the right way - one was to defend the city, and the other was to send people to keep an eye on the human race.
But then, the gossip reflected the consequences. I have to say that Beamon is indeed hot-blooded in his bones, they are one sentence on the left and one on the right, and in the end they are eager to capture these humans. And Dior was also dizzy, and he also patted his chest and made a promise. After hearing that there were only about 300 human beings, more than 400 Bimon militia immediately gathered in the small town. They all screamed and brought their own weapons. Under the leadership of Dio, they immediately chased after the humans.
And for the next day and night, Dior found himself chasing closer and closer. Just now, they found a discarded carriage on the road, and the carriage was piled with fine silk, fine wine, and porcelain.
Catch the big fish! All the Beamon was in good spirits. The fatigue on their bodies also seemed to disappear completely, and they began the final sprint towards the front of the road.
......
"Get ready!" Dipp ordered softly. Everyone waited quietly. It took a whole day to pull these Beamons to finally find this suitable place to carry out Dipu's plan to get out.
He noticed that Xuefu next to him was fiddling with his magic bow. Looking eager to try, Dipu was a little worried: "You...... Okay?"
"Don't underestimate people!" Xue Fu glanced at Dipu, "People are archers, and they used to shoot targets with hundreds of shots!"
"Hehe!" said Dip. Anyway, I'll let Xuefu shoot casually later. I'm always there to keep her safe. Realizing that Beamon had entered the encirclement, Dipu raised his body and swung his arm down heavily.
"Shoot!"
With the command. There was a sound of breaking through the air, and arrows flew like locusts. Those were in high spirits just now. The Beamon militia, dreaming of honor and wealth, were shot down one after another. Beamon is a mess. The one in front wants to turn around and run, and the one behind is still squeezing forward without knowing it. And it's a mess of huddles. Exactly the archers' favorite target.
Knight, in fact, is a relatively special profession. Or rather, it is a profession for the purpose of war.
For example, any of the main knights on the continent, whether it is the Holy See, the Verona Empire, or others, any official knight in it has the strength of a great swordsman. In other words, they can all inspire vindictiveness.
But on the other hand, if you don't have a great swordsman, you can become a full-fledged knight after joining the army. It is necessary to go through long-term and systematic training, and only after assessment can it be competent. And this time, at least several years.
And the average formal knight tends to be cultivated from an early age. They started as horse boys, soldiers, etc., and were called knight apprentices. The apprentice mainly learns some basic knowledge, both literary and martial arts. Knight apprentices are not part of the Order's combat units, they are unified into an apprentice wing or recruit wing. Think of this wing as a school of knights.
Of course, when the Knights are fully dispatched, this apprentice wing will also do some auxiliary work such as transporting food and camping. After all, no matter how bad a knight apprentice is, he is better than an ordinary soldier.
After the knight apprentice completes the division, he will become a knight squire and officially incorporated into the combat unit. Knight squires have to learn a variety of basic fighting skills. Of course, in the event of a battle, the knight squire could mount his horse as a light cavalry to cover the killing, and dismount as an armored soldier to fight, serving as some auxiliary combat missions.
After passing the examination, the knight squire will become a trainee knight. At this time, the main thing is to practice the combat skills on the mount. In battle, they will essentially become light cavalry behind the official knights.
And the official knights are armed to the teeth. Warcraft mounts, heavy armor, ....... And in general, a full-fledged knight, he is often not alone, he is basically a ten-man squad. The knight squires and trainee knights in the squad learn from the official knights and assist the official knights in battle. Therefore, it is the basic combat unit of the Knights.
Such a ratio can be effectively suitable for all kinds of battles. Although the combat effectiveness of knights is indeed strong, many times it is not practical to use heavy cavalry, and it is more than enough to use knight squires or trainee knights.
Of course, if the enemy force is large, the Order can also gather all the knights and trainee knights together to form an unstoppable cavalry array. Therefore, such a group is quite flexible, can be large or small, and can exert strong combat effectiveness. (To be continued......)
