That's very badass

Chapter 151 Wolf Cavalry Confrontation

Early the next morning.

Under Roland's signal, the messengers scattered on their horses, and brought the order to form an array to all parts of the barracks.

After the southern nobles got the order, the knights under their command began to call on the soldiers to form an array according to the prior agreement.

In the center is the infantry phalanx of the Imperial Legion, a total of 9000 people under the command of Fox.

The Dawn Knights are ruled by their mistress, Mrs. Vicki, and of course Roland will also accompany her.

Although Roland wanted to separate the command of the army, unfortunately he found that he could not do so.

He can't continue to go to those nobles to discuss again, after all, the words have been spoken and cannot be taken back.

Those nobles may not necessarily accept the leadership of others.

Moreover, changing orders arbitrarily before the battle will leave unreliable influence on everyone, and even cause a series of factors such as command confusion, and deal a blow to this fragile coalition force, which is not suitable.

I have to say that those giant wolves, which are only a little shorter than the war horses, are really bluffing. Whether it is the wolf mouth full of sharp teeth, or the sharp claws that are shining with cold light, they are all fierce weapons.

Moreover, wolves also like to attack vital points, which also makes armor seem a bit dispensable in front of their vigorous figures.

They were much more ferocious than those war horses. Roland was still a little worried if he was facing 3000 of these war wolves.

The flexible pack of wolves must not be dealt with by uncontrollable lances, and it is difficult to kill them with a single blow even with a knight's sword.

Perhaps it is difficult for any weapon to cause fatal damage to them, and injury will only make them more cautious and dangerous.

Iron heads and copper bones are not just talking, and they will definitely protect their fragile abdomen.

The characteristics of wolves are destined to be difficult and cunning, and they are more accustomed to exhausting the enemy before attacking.

What's more, such large war wolves must have greater lethality and endurance.

They can attack and retreat, they are indeed difficult creatures.

But they are wolf cavalry, since they have been domesticated as mounts, they must obey the master's arrangement.

At least from the appearance point of view, these orcs are easier to deal with than the wolf warriors under them.

From the long-handled battle axes held by the orcs, we can see their tactics.

The weapons of the wolf cavalry are more suitable for dealing with the charge of scattered formations, which is applicable most of the time, but there are ways to restrain them in the face of the Daybreak Knights.

The best way to deal with them is to use dense formations to charge and attack them with the advantage of numbers per unit area.

This is also the specialty of the Knights of the Dawn, and Roland has nothing to worry about. The lances used for charging are longer and more deadly than their battle axes.

But the Dawn Knights' target this time needs to be changed. It is no longer the master on the mount, but the war wolf under their crotch.

They will become even more difficult to deal with without their masters.

As for Andal, who was not assigned, he led 1000 legion infantry to stand firm at the ballista in the center of the trap, using it as bait and at the same time firmly grasping this place.

On the left and right of Roland's army is an infantry formation of [-] people, and the remaining [-]-man army is used as a reserve soldier, ready to fill the gap in the battle line and serve as a supervisory team.

As they gathered, the alien races on the opposite side also gathered quickly. They blew their horns, and the subordinate races quickly gathered behind the wolf cavalry.

Unsurprisingly, they had half-orcs as the main force, serving as the central army, and next to them were gnolls, a subordinate race of the wild boar.

As for the kobolds, they would not be sent to the battlefield at all, and they would waste the strength of their own soldiers on the battlefield to kill them and prevent them from being charged into the army formation.

It's just that their formation is a bit messy compared to humans, but the Leonto snake doesn't care about this. In its view, these subordinate races are cannon fodder.

Only the orc wolf cavalry is the decisive force.

It rode a wolf and stood right in front of the team. Looking at the enemy's formation, it didn't find the flag recorded in the clan, so it spoke.

"Blow the horn and let these scumbags attack."

The horn player next to him got the order, took off the horn hanging on his back, took a deep breath, and a hurried horn sounded, which spread across the battlefield in an instant.

The array formed in front of the aliens instantly became fragmented, with different physiques, different heights, and even inconsistent minds.

The charging speed was naturally fast and slow, and was chaotic, which made Roland frown.

The first thought he had was, 'With such an army, why are those alien races and orcs so bold. '

When he turned his gaze to the formation of the noble allied forces, he looked at the soldiers who rushed out in twos and threes, and then re-formed the formation under the scolding of the flag officer.

The corner of Roland's mouth twitched slightly, only then did he realize that this was a competition, no wonder those orcs were so careless.

Just remembering that these people are just soldiers who have only been trained for several months, he understands a little.

But thinking of the nobles' vowed words, he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Open the army array and shoot the ballista."

Following Fox's order, the Chinese army made a gap, revealing the ballista array behind,

Seeing the flag waved three times, Andal raised his hand, and waved it down three seconds later, 20 iron crossbow bolts flew out immediately.

There was a flash of cold light, and the half-orcs ushered in the first attack before they reached the midfield.

Before the charging Orcs could see what it was, the crossbow arrow penetrated their bodies, bringing up a large amount of blood, and then penetrated the body of another Orc.

In this way, after penetrating several orcs, it got stuck in the body of one orc.

In the light of the calcium carbide fire, the half-orcs who were pierced stopped their charge, and under the invisible force, they flew back into the air, and then fell to the ground without a sound.

Only then did they realize that they were under attack, "raise your shields and continue to charge, staying here is just waiting to die."

Seeing that the speed of the charge slowed down due to an unknown attack, an orc acting as their warlord shouted angrily.

This also woke up the half-orcs. Thanks to some reminders, they raised their shields in front of them in a panic and continued to charge.

Under Roland's suggestion, Andal adopted the method of segmented shooting to camouflage the power of their weapon, thus luring the orcs to attack.

Because they only had a chance to shoot in one wave, or to shoot in three sections, after re-twisting the crossbow bolts, the two sides must have been entangled.

At that time, they could only choose the opportunity to shoot. This weapon was originally used to defend the position, and its actual effect was almost useless, but the blow to morale was indeed huge.

An orc who was charging saw that the shield in front of him suddenly shattered into pieces, and his body seemed to be pierced by something. He only felt the strength of his body was constantly passing away, and then lost consciousness.

Roland led the cavalry and took the lead in opening a distance to prevent them from being approached by the enemy's wolf cavalry before charging.

Under the successive attacks, Black Iron Warlord Leonto Snake saw the explosive attack effect, only felt trembling all over, and had the idea of ​​staying away from those weapons.

'Even the head of the war wolf can't withstand such an attack. '

The Leonto snake on the war horse gave birth to a new idea.

That is to bring back this kind of equipment, as long as they are produced in sufficient quantities, they can use this to threaten the ogre, and it may even be Gron.

Even to enslave them directly, it's just the slowly closing human army formation, blocking its greedy eyes.

"Wolf cavalry, come with me."

Leonto snake urged its war wolf, and the whole wolf cavalry team moved instantly. As for whether those alien races could beat them, it no longer cared.

What it wants to do now is to bring those equipment back. As for the cavalry team of more than 1000 people, it has completely ignored it.

Looking at the wolf cavalry who were turning around, Vicky glanced at Roland. After getting his approval, she immediately issued the order according to the original plan.

"Dawn Knights, form a dense formation with a width of 100, raise your shield and mount your spear, and charge with your lord."

As soon as the words fell, she took the lead in urging the horse, because the horse's starting speed was not fast, Roland quickly caught up and stood side by side with her.

Then more knights urged their horses to follow.

As for the so-called width of 100, it is a dense charging formation formed by knights side by side with a limit of one hundred.

As for their original plan, they pretended that the equipment camp was important, and launched a desperate charge against the enemy to protect it. Of course, this desperate charge was only the enemy's sight.

In their view, this charge was nothing more than a 'simple' performance.

Before the charging orcs could cheer, they were hit by javelins, which made them a little angry, and decided to give these 'various' humans a lesson after the battle.

The imperial infantry were already ready for the battle. Not only were the imperial infantry at this time better equipped, but their strength was also incomparable.

The threatening charge of the half-orcs was nothing to them.

Due to the huge inertia, some spears directly penetrated the crude shields of the half-orcs and directly pierced into their bodies, and most of them burst directly under the interaction.

Taking advantage of this moment, the imperial soldiers pulled out the daggers stuck in the ground and stabbed the orcs who were fighting back, causing many casualties to them.

On the other hand, the coalition of nobles did not adopt Roland's proposal, but still followed the ancient formula, relying only on brute force. They were no match for these alien races.

Because of their crude armor, they suffered a lot of casualties in this wave of charge, and the entire front appeared to collapse.

Fortunately, they were used to this way of fighting, and the soldiers started to counterattack with great confidence. While stabilizing the front, they began to advance slowly.

Looking at the human cavalry who had already charged, Leonto Snake clenched the battle ax in his hand, gave up his original plan, and led the wolf cavalry to charge straight away.

It wants to teach these provocative human cavalry a lesson, because it saw those human weapons, and they dared to use wooden weapons to humiliate the great orcs.

Such behavior is absolutely inexcusable, and only their blood can wash away this disgrace.

As the distance between the two sides got closer, Roland could even smell the stench of these orcs. Of course, this was just his illusion.

He began to adjust the lance in his hand, aiming it at the heads of those war wolves, and as the distance rapidly narrowed, he quickly released the clamped lance.

At the moment when the two sides intersected, the war wolf shook his head and avoided the oncoming lance, but because of the relative speed of the two sides, the lance still directly hit its neck.

Under such a violent impact, the lance easily sank into its neck and instantly broke its cervical spine, and the first wolf fell down.

Facing the coming tomahawk, Roland swung the shield directly, making a sound of gold and iron clashing.

It's all because they aimed their weapon at the enemy's mount, which would have been more of an annoyance if it had been aimed directly at the enemy.

However, this kind of behavior can be said to be the old base of the orcs. After all, their number of war wolves is not large, and this is all due to their lack of meat.

Roland took a moment to glance at Vicky and found that she was safe and sound, so he breathed a sigh of relief, drew out his sword, and tried his best to control the horse under him to avoid the enemy's head-on confrontation.

Because his weapon was too short, it was considered dangerous for soldiers today, and the orc wolf cavalry were not as easy to deal with as he imagined.

At least with swords in hand, they were in an absolutely weak position in the confrontation with the wolf cavalry.

Fortunately, the Empire's armored cavalry have the highest long-stem proficiency among the weapons they master. They can make some moon blade axes to deal with the orcs' wolf cavalry.

After not losing money in weapons, these orcs still have to practice for a long time in terms of skills.

Fortunately, the orcs behind were fully aware of the threat of these logs, so they did not choose to attack these non-threatening humans.

They put away their underestimation and got ready to deal with the lance behind them.

They planned to cut off or directly block the lance with their axes, but this was only their extravagant hope. Under such a rapid stagger, they could not do it at all.

As more wolves fell to the ground, the orcs rolled on the ground and were directly trampled by the horses. The horses' iron hoofs left bloody holes on their bodies.

The confrontation here obviously attracted the attention of both warring parties. In just a blink of an eye, the Dawn Knights penetrated the Wolf Cavalry's defense line.

Judging from the traces left at the scene, none of the Dawn Knights were injured or even fell off their horses.

However, their record is somewhat insufficient, they only killed hundreds of wolf cavalry.

For the 3000 wolf cavalry, it seems a bit painless.
