Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 147: Bow Cavalry
Chapter 147 Bow Cavalry
Lorist spent five days with the Cavalry Squad. When they were about to reach the lower ferry of the Mido Bro River, they encountered a war. Each of the two Lord(s)s was facing each other with a hundred or two hundred people.
Well, Lorist admits that the word Lord(s) seems to be exalted with the word war. The correct description should be that a village-level fight is about to happen. Take a look at the equipment on both sides. There are four or five people on horseback. They are all peasant soldier(s). They do n’t say anything. They are mostly agricultural tools in their hands ...
As a neutral party, Lorist is ready to admire this group stand. Unfortunately, the two Lord(s) don't seem to care much about the audience's feelings, and they are still scolding for almost an hour.
Lorist is impatient. If you want to fight, hurry up. Give up the way after the fight. This will occupy the road and not fight. What does it mean to scold? Isn't this taking up that pit and not shit?
"Patt, ask them if they don't fight yet. If they don't fight, make way for us to pass first."
If it were n’t for five large carriage s full of supplies, Lorist would have taken the Cavalry Squad straight through the wilderness without taking the road. But there is no way, the supplementary arrows of the archer, more than a hundred people's camping supplies and cooking utensils, grain and oat horse food for mount are loaded with Shadekampf full of five carts, let Lorist sigh if he and Patt two In that case, you do n’t have to worry so much. You can start off by throwing two small luggage on a horse's back. There are so many people and many things. Lorist regrets that she should not promise Joske to start with the bow cavalry.
This time, Peter ’s bow cavalry team has only 97 people with him, not reaching the full number of 120. However, in order to carry a large supply of carriage , Lorist brought another Imperial Guard, Ruhr and Maud were to come with him, and they were ordered by Lorist to take charge of these five big carriage s with Imperial Guard.
Patt came back with a look of confusion, "Lord(s), they want us to stay here obediently, wait for them to win and lose and then ask us to collect a passing tax ..." Patt said.
"What?" Looking back at the five big carriage s, Lorist understands that the two idiots Lord(s) in front of him regarded the pedestrian as the guard of the dealer caravan.
"Day, collect my toll tax?" Lorist smiled.
"Pitt, take the Cavalry Squad up and give you a great way to drive them away, oh, grab two over and ask them why they are fighting." Lorist said lightly.
"Yes, Lord(s)." Pete whistled, and the Cavalry Squadron lined up behind him, sprinting forward.
When seeing the two Lord(s) battlefields at an arrow, the archers took hold of the horse, then picked up the long bow hanging next to the saddle, immediately opened the bow, and "left" and "right" on Pete. In the sound of the command, one arrow was fired at each of the two Lord(s) teams.
The two Lord(s) didn't expect to be attacked by Lorist. How can the businessmen caravan end up watching the excitement? A burst of arrows shot them into chaos, and their sorrow suddenly rose ...
Pitt led the bow cavalry to shoot three rounds of arrows, and then a whistle, the bow cavalry gathered their long bows, pulled out their long swords, and split into two teams and rushed to two Lord(s) teams. Unsurprisingly, the two Lord(s) teams collapsed, and the two Lord(s) saw the arch cavalry rush to the first horse to turn around and fled. The soldier(s) under their hands was rushing into a mess and messing up.
Patt praised: "Our bow cavalry is really powerful. We have broken hundreds of people without hurting one person. No wonder Lord(s) insists on establishing a bow cavalry ..."
I didn't finish the words, but I heard a "plop", and turned around, but Lorist was planted immediately. Patt and Imperial Guard were shocked: "What happened to Lord(s), Lord(s) .....?"
Lorist climbed up from the ground with a grey head and a face, and waved his hand: "It's okay, I didn't step on the stables, and I slipped off without a foot ..."
"My day! Is this a bow cavalry?" Lorist only felt that 10,000 grass mud horses stepped through his heart, and the scene just seen thundered him from the horse immediately. "This is obviously a longbowman on horseback, OK? , Joske how this stupid man trains archers ... "
Pitt brought a few captives: "Lord(s), ask clearly. It is said that in the past six months, a lot of family caravans have been passing through the ferry here. What's called Davov Viscount has set a checkpoint at the ferry and closed the road. The tax is soft, the jealous look of these two Lord(s)s, and they want to look at cats and tigers, they want to set up a road card toll on the road to the ferry, but this road is exactly at the border of their Territory, so they all said It ’s time to set up your own card. Today is scheduled to win or lose here.
Well, I'm sorry to interrupt the two Lord(s) Huashan swordsmen. I blame them for not choosing a place, which just blocked the way of Lorist.
"When was the checkpoint at the front ferry established? How many guards? How powerful?" Lorist asked a prisoner who looked like Squad Leader, because he wore a half-length leather armor, which was more pleasing to the eye than those worn-out prisoners. Already.
"A month and a half ago, Lord(s)." The captive answered quickly: "The ferry is guarding a small team of defensive soldier(s). They were originally a newly established town defensive team of Viscount in Davos and were transferred to the ferry by Lord Viscount to collect money. I really do n’t know how the combat power is, but they are well equipped and have several iron armors ... "
Iron armor? Lorist remembered, "Ruhr, Maude, come here for a while." Lorist called.
"Yes, Lord(s), the last time we came over was to rest in the small town next to this ferry, and then the guards came to arrest us and said that we were horse thieves ..." Ruhr said.
"Pitt, take your bow cavalry team to catch the guard team at that ferry. Patt, you take Ruhr and Maude to recognize, if they are the ones who attacked you, then they Hanging all over the ferry ... "Lorist told Pete and Patt that he was not going to watch the so-called bow cavalry riding show again.
"Okay, Lord(s), let's go." Pete paused and asked, "So, Lord(s), what about these captives?"
The captives in front of them are trembling, just now they heard Lorist order to hang all the guards at the ferry and thought that they would be in danger.
"Lord(s), forgive me ..." Several captives kneeled in front of the horses of Lorist, crying and begging.
"Let ’s put these, whoever, go to the car and bring some trauma medicine and bandages to them, and let them bandage the wounded bandages over there. Let's go." Lorist said.
It is less than five miles away from the ferry in front. Lorist arrived at the ferry with five carriage s and saw dozens of corpses lying on the ground and dozens of captives crouching on the ground with both hands. Ruhr and Maude were carrying some archers on wooden frames.
Lorist saw a few bandages with bandages on them, and asked Pete and Patt who came up: "Why, are there casualties?"
"Six minor injuries, don't get in the way, just over ten days. It's mainly that some guards are hiding in the house. When we went in to search, we couldn't catch the injuries." Pete answered.
"Lord(s), we already let the ferry across the coast ..." Patt said.
Lorist looked around. For the first time more than half a year ago, from here on Northern Land to the old land revisited, great changes have taken place here. Firstly, two ferries have been added to the ferry on the other side. Here, a group of bare-handed boatmen are desperately shaking four big hoees and dragging the four ferries from the other side. Well, it seems that Xiulaz Baron on the other side made a lot of money by crossing the river with a ferry, and added two more ferries.
"When we killed the guards just now, the boatmen all jumped into the river, and they finally called them back. I promised to give them one Empire silver coin(s) ..." Patt said.
Lorist nodded. Seeing the boatmen working so hard, I felt that this little silver coin(s) was worth it.
It was deserted last time. It was only half a year. It was on a small hill in the distance. already A small town was built. However, this small town will be heavily guarded, crowded with swords and robbers, pointing at the ferry. Obviously the killing that happened at the ferry just let the small town's defense team know Lorist They are enemies and non-friends, and they are waiting as if they are near enemies.
Ruhr and Mod already erected dozens of wooden frames, holding the captives and forcibly hanging them up, which only hanged a few, and the remaining captives saw that they could not escape, and the desire to survive broke out. Suddenly, they rushed together and ran away in the direction of the small town. Unfortunately, Pete was well prepared, and he ordered the longbowmen on horseback to shoot an arrow and shoot them all into hedgehogs.
Crying and swearing came from the walls of the small town in the distance. Lorist was all ears. Now he is reprimanding Ruhr and Mod: "... how do you say, stupid?" Don't bind them or lock them to a place where they can't see the wooden frame and hang them one by one, and hang their companions in front of them, even the pigs will run away! What should I do if I die now? I am also hung up when I am dead, it ’s so brave to dare to kill a messenger who is passing by ... Pete, write down their convictions below so that people passing by know why we hanged them! "
"Observe, my Lord(s)."
Across the ferry at the moment there is also a team of guards full of armed forces. The situation at the ferry just now is also seen in the eyes, and it is understandable to strengthen alert and prevent accidents.
"Patt, you take someone to cross the river first, tell Hulah Baron, old friends are here, don't make these nervous, I will visit him when I pass Jiang."
"Lord(s), or else you cross the river first," Patt said.
"No need." Lorist pointed to the small town in the distance: "There may be some ghost ideas out there, I'm going to teach them a little lesson."
It took more than three hours for more than one hundred people to bring five large carriage s across the river. Lorist was the last one to board the ship, and there were only seven or eight people left in the ferry. At that time, nearly a hundred people rushed out of the small town over there, grabbed the sword, and killed the ferociously towards the ferry.
The Lorist's shotgun and the arrows of Pete and the other archers made the twenty-two bravest fighters who were the bravest in the front, followed by Lorist and Pete. Among the crowd, a dozen guns and swords were cut, and the remaining thirty or so lucky lucky men fled back to the small town and closed the door. It seemed that they were not killed.
"Happy!" Pete shook the blood on the tip of the gun and said.
"Let's go. The ferry is here. Let's get on board." Lorist said.
On the ferry.
"Pete, when I was studying at Morante City, I once read a book that recorded that in the dark ages, there had been such a group of archers. They could all put arrows on the horseback of Mercedes-Benz. Shooting arrows backwards on the horseback will kill the enemies that they are chasing one by one. As long as the enemies they follow are unable to run away, they never attack the enemy directly. Until the enemy is dragged to death ... "
Lorist intends to take this opportunity to instill Pete the correct concept of what is a bow cavalry, and create a Mongolian-style arch cavalry: "They gather and split freely, they are out of control, and they are stronger than the previous one. There are ten times more enemies than them, but after four months they have achieved a complete victory with very little loss. Every time their enemies detach their troops and chase after them, they will always be lured into the trap by The way of running and shooting away from the enemy can wipe out the enemy. The book says that their tactic is called kite tactics, which is to attack the enemy from a distance without melee ... "
"Lord(s), I understand what you mean. What you want to build is such a bow cavalry." Pete asked.
Lorist nodded happily, finally someone got the hang of it.
"Unfortunately, we can't do it at all. The archer you said can only be existence. In the book existence, it is impossible in reality." Pete said regretfully.
"Why?" Lorist was surprised.
"Lord(s), we do n’t have a proper bow. In fact, those Aristocrat(s)s used bows for hunting and hunting, although they can shoot arrows on the horseback, they have a short range and a small range, up to a maximum range of 30 to 40 meters. It ’s enough to shoot the pheasant hare. But it is useless to play magical beast or battle. Of all the bows, the longbow has the largest range and power, even within a distance of 100 meters. It can threaten Golden Knight. Although it is not as good as the hunting bow in its strength, the hunting bow deals with magical beast and uses heavy arrows. Its range can only be half that of the longbow. "
Pitt began to popularize bow and arrow knowledge for Lorist: "The longbow is recognized as the fastest-moving and most lethal bow and arrow, the main long-range force for defense and attack. However, the longbow is not suitable for immediate use, even if it is stopped. On the horseback, the force and balance are very difficult. Now this bow cavalry team can shoot arrows already on the horse. It took Joske Lord(s) a lot of hard work. Among them, Joske Lord(s) can be on Mercedes' horseback. With continuous arrows, I can only shoot at most three arrows and I ca n’t keep my balance.
“If you do n’t use a longbow, you ca n’t compare with the enemy ’s longbowman ’s range. If you rush too close, the enemy ’s longbow soldiers’ combined shooting casualties will be very large. So form an Lord(s) what you said The bow and cavalry must first solve the bows and arrows that can be used on horseback, and their range and power cannot be less than the long bow. Secondly, we do not have a suitable war horse. Grindia All war horses cannot reach the bow cavalry mount you said. Request. "Pete said the second difficulty.
"...?" Lorist was puzzled.
Pitt explained: "Lord(s), the archer mount of yours must have a strong body and excellent endurance. It also needs to be restorative and good at running long distances. The pace agility should be fast, not only If you can sprint in the plain, you must be good at running in the mountains, so that you can get rid of the chase. In addition, you must be hard-working, not afraid of the heat and heat, and resistant to disease. The most important thing is that your appetite is good. Digested, we ca n’t find such a horse on the Guellingen continent. "
"Is this guy talking about Mongolian horses? Mongolians riding Mongolian horses across Eurasia, this Mongolian horse is not a rare horse breed. Grindia Continent does not have a horse breed like Mongolian horses, this species is too scarce Come on. "Lorist was depressed.
Pitt added a knife: "Lord(s), look at our mount, the Northern Land horse is relatively medium in power compared to other horse breeds, and it is also a kind of horse to feed well, but if you say The mount of the archer cavalry is far from enough. Three of our five carts this time are filled with oats and refined grains. We just worry that we wo n’t get outside of these Northern Land horses. On the long journey, these Northern Land horses are useless.
Like the archer cavalry of your kind, if you use Northern Land horses for mount, at least one person must take seven or eight horses for rotation, and a large amount of fine grains for horse food can be maintained. Take the example of the bow cavalry you mentioned, even if the number of 2,000 people in a large group is more than four months, at least 10,000 heads of mount will be scrapped. Regardless of whether they are Zeno horses or Barrigalima horses, they are good horses for long-distance endurance, but their feeding is more delicate and demanding than Northern Land horses. "
Well, Pete makes a lot of sense. The Lorist is going to form archers, not horse dealers. If one person brought seven or eight horses without mentioning that they would not take care of them, someone on the road would definitely come over and ask how much the horse sold.
Touching my nose, Lorist felt very embarrassed. I did n’t even understand the applicable bows and arrows and mount when I wanted to form a bow cavalry. If it was n’t for Pete ’s explanation, I would have wronged Joske. All blame Instructor of Knight(s) training professional of Dawn Academy. They say that Knight(s) is bright and is the main force of charge. The use of bows and arrows is a coward's behavior, so that they have ignored the training of bows and arrows. Now they can only use shooting Long-range lethality.
Let ’s do this first. When you settle down, you can find someone to study whether you can develop a recurve compound bow. That one is much shorter than the long bow. It should be very suitable for use on horseback, but you do n’t know that the range and lethality are not comparable. It's time for a longbow. Lorist was thinking on the ferry.
