Warlord: King of All Clans
Chapter 258 Wolf Cavalry Charge
When Her Royal Highness set a small goal and achieved great success, her adoptive father, who was well-educated and knowledgeable, with the only flaw being that he was illiterate, was evacuating with his troops in an emergency.
The horses of the Isenpol Legion had enough power to carry away most of the spoils and legion supplies in one go.
Those townspeople who survived were also forced by Leo to flee the place.
Of course there were people who resisted, but under the swords of the soldiers, they could only follow behind the main force.
Forcing others to leave their homes and embark on an unknown journey will inevitably cause some people to hate Leo, but he doesn't care.
Three thousand orcs and an unknown number of wolf cavalry were enough to destroy the small town of Melesi, which had lost its armed protection, in one fell swoop.
If these civilians stay where they are, they will only die faster.
But the team seemed bloated because of this, and the efficiency of troops in the feudal era was very slow. They set out before dawn and had only traveled more than 20 miles by noon.
Leo was a little anxious and kept urging the troops to march at a forced pace and increase the speed.
The Knights of the Corner Flags, who knew about the presence of the Wolf Cavalry, also sensed the crisis and urged their subordinates on foot to catch up with the cavalry leading the way in front.
The elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, who were carrying their belongings, were soon left behind.
Every Hewan infantryman had a horse, and many of them dismounted and walked upon seeing this, leaving the animal power to the elderly and weak civilians.
The wild hunters did the same, and only then were these people barely able to keep up with the team.
The troops at the river bend are elite enough and can easily surpass the troops at other corner flags on foot, but they will still lose some of their physical strength.
In the eyes of the other corner flags, this was simply stupidity.
But Leo said nothing.
When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they know honor and disgrace. When people had not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, the River Bend infantry and the wild hunters were already morally noble enough not to rob other people's property.
Now they have actually begun to take the initiative to help others, showing compassion that transcends this era.
At noon, the large army took a short rest. The wild scouts scattered around the team by Leo suddenly blew a sharp whistle.
On one side of the team is a shallow river, and on the opposite side is a deep and dense forest.
Following the sharp whistle of the wild scouts, human figures swayed in the dense forest, followed by flying snowflakes, and a huge wolf pounced out.
On its back was a strong orc sergeant.
His green skin was covered with scars, his lips were turned outward, revealing thick canine teeth, his arms were as thick as a human thigh, and the long knife in his hand was more than 1.5 meters long, with the tip of the knife almost touching the ground.
Wolf riders, commonly known as wolf riders, are extraordinary knights of the beast race. Their weapons are mainly long swords and battle axes.
After seeing the large human army, he raised his sword and let out an angry roar.
Behind him, dense groups of wolf cavalry emerged and confronted the human troops across the river.
Leo was riding on his horse and was slightly relieved when he saw the wolf cavalry appear.
This is just the wolf cavalry's scout unit, not the main force, and the number is less than one hundred.
However, one hundred wolf riders, plus their mounts, are equal to two hundred low-level transcendents, and their strength is still extremely terrifying.
Sure enough, after taking a look at the equipment of the human troops, the scout captain of the Orc Wolf Riders judged that this was a low-level human troop and the threat level was not high.
A greedy and bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes, and he roared again and launched an attack.
As soon as the wolf cavalry appeared, the legion commander Arnold shouted: "Knights assemble!"
All the knights with corner flags, proletarian knights, and knights' squires abandoned their own infantry units and gathered at the front of the team to form a cavalry unit.
Nearly one hundred armored knights and fifty light cavalry launched a counterattack against the surging wolf cavalry.
Half a minute later, the two torrents collided violently.
In the first wave of contact, the human cavalry won a complete victory.
Among these local knights of Isenbol, not many were promoted to extraordinary levels, but all of them had mastered the technique of lance charge.
Many human knights spend their entire lives practicing how to stab an enemy target to death with one shot, and have actually done it countless times.
As for the orc wolf cavalry, although their overall strength is similar to that of low-level humans, and they also have the bonus of low-level magical beasts such as wolves, they use long swords and battle axes, and only a few orcs use spears.
Moreover, most of them were wearing fur armor, and many orcs had bare chests, revealing their scarred muscles, with only a thick, angular iron shoulder pad on their upper bodies.
In infantry combat, these extremely powerful orc soldiers are capable of killing a heavily armored elite with one sword and withstand the siege of two or three heavily armored elite soldiers.
The human race's heavily armored elite infantry could only form a dense shield formation to stop the orcs and rely on the long-range firepower of their comrades to kill the orcs.
But when it comes to horse battles, the advantages of skills and weapons become very important.
Even a low-level extraordinary body could not withstand the knights' lance charge.
In one charge, at least twenty orc soldiers were pierced through the bodies by the human knights' lances and fell off their wolves.
Their weapons could not reach the human knights' horses' heads, but their chests had already been pierced by the sharp lances.
Only a few human knights were killed by the orc wolf riders who avoided the lance charge.
But after the charge ended and the battle began, the Orc Wolf Cavalry immediately turned defeat into victory.
They obviously knew the power of the human knights' lances. Except for the wolf riders in the front row, the wolf riders in the back row all avoided the first wave of attacks.
After the two armies collided and the horses slowed down, they rushed into the crowd and hacked at them indiscriminately.
Their weapons were heavier and better suited for close-quarters combat.
The wolf under his feet was also extremely ferocious.
Under the blows of long swords and battle axes weighing more than twenty pounds, the knight's squires with less strength could not withstand such heavy blows.
Those ferocious wolves would also take the opportunity to bite the necks of the Northern warhorses. The first bite would tear off the armor protecting the horses, and the second bite would pierce the opponent's neck.
Its sharp claws can tear off anything it touches.
At close combat distance, the combat effectiveness of the lance was greatly reduced. Many knights threw away their lances, drew out their knightly swords, and fought with the wolf cavalry.
But the result is obvious. Even the Extraordinary Knight is at a disadvantage when fighting against the Wolf Rider.
The weaker knight attendants were killed in less than three rounds.
They wanted to ride away from the battlefield, but the wolves could move more swiftly in a small area than the northern warhorses.
The wolf chased after him and kept biting him.
One warhorse after another was knocked to the ground by the wolf riders, their stomachs ripped open. The knights on their horses fell to the ground, having lost their height advantage, and found it even more difficult to withstand the wolf riders' powerful blows.
Only half of the knights managed to escape from the battlefield and launch a new lance charge with the help of their comrades.
Leo and his Rose Knights also joined the battle at the first opportunity and were caught in the melee.
The only difference is that he used a long crescent-shaped sword.
This long crescent-shaped sword, which has been modified several times, is longer and heavier than the long sword of the orc wolf cavalry.
Perhaps in a lance duel, the long crescent blade is far less advantageous than the lance, but its close-range brute force slashing is like Guan Gong's reincarnation.
Leo rode his warhorse at a quick trot, the long crescent-shaped sword in his hand dragging behind him, ready to strike.
After the two armies came into contact, the long crescent-shaped sword turned into a huge arc of light, which slashed across the target's body.
The wolf cavalryman who rushed towards him had his entire head and half of his body chopped off by his sword.
The long crescent-shaped knife continued to move forward, the blade sweeping across the wolf's body, leaving a huge gap on its shoulder.
Leo, who was once unable to break through the wolf's fur defense, finally crushed the wolf!
