Su Lit had been complaining in his heart about Reggie's cruelty, but he couldn't understand Reggie's difficulties.
The cavalry did not attack the castle, which meant that Reggie could not take advantage of the defense. If he took the initiative at this time, it would undoubtedly cause huge casualties.
What's worse is that the enemy is attacking the herdsmen's camp. If Reggie uses artillery, more refugees may die from the shells than from the enemy's sword.
This is the cruelty of war. Reggie cannot make fatal mistakes because of his sympathy for the herdsmen. If these herdsmen are unfortunately killed by the enemy, it can only be blamed on them for not listening to Reji's advice. If some people can get away with it,
If they survive, I hope they can learn their lesson and leave this battlefield as soon as possible.
But if they really have the courage and strength to fight the enemy, Reggie is willing to help them. Iron Skull trained a cavalry for him, cavalry riding giant prairie wolves.
"A giant wolf knight can deal with ten or even twenty cavalry!" This was Iron Skull's promise to Reggie. The cost of raising a wolf was too high. Until Reggie had enough sheep, this plan
before putting it into practice.
The results of the training far exceeded expectations. The orc cavalry carrying muskets and riding wolves was almost the same as a mini tank. Although there were only fifty knights, Reggie firmly believed that they could easily wipe out a cavalry regiment.
But Reggie will not use the giant wolf knights easily. He will not sacrifice these precious warriors for a group of cowards, and he also wants to find out the quality of this group of enemy troops.
The enemy troops that attacked the herdsmen indeed belonged to the Golden Wolf King, but to be precise, they were not considered cavalry, but only mounted bandits. Half of them had committed murders, and almost everyone had committed robberies in the desert.
This group of criminals will not abide by military discipline, and it is sheer delusion to expect them to attack Reggie's castle. Even if they encounter a slightly stronger enemy, they will immediately disperse, but they will rush into the shepherd's camp to burn, kill and rob.
Plundering, this kind of thing is what they are relatively good at.
The purpose of the Golden Wolf King is exactly this. He asked these gangsters to attack the shepherds. If Reji sent troops to rescue him, he would send elite troops to attack from Reji's back. If Reji refused to save him, the next step would be to let him
The gangsters continued to harass Reggie's ranch and granary until they forced Reggie out.
He knew that even if he made a surprise attack from behind, he would not be able to defeat Reggie, but he still had a group of helpers hiding in the dark. Even if Reggie could not be completely wiped out, he would still suffer more than half of his casualties.
At that time, Chi Luomon will lead the fleet to force the shore and chop Reggie into a pulp while huddled in the castle.
The horsemen who rushed at the front skillfully crossed the fence of the camp. When they opened the first tent, an ominous premonition filled their hearts.
The tent was empty. An empty tent was not uncommon on the grassland, but a dozen tents in a row were empty, which meant another possibility: this camp was a trap.
Several experienced bandits issued warnings, but most of the mounted bandits continued to rush into the camp, ready to try their luck.
For this robbery, they crossed more than 200 miles of desert and trekked more than 100 miles on the grassland. If they couldn't even get a grain of food, this trip would be really unfair.
When all the mounted bandits rushed into the camp, the shepherd's bagpipe sounded. Although it was not as loud as the horn, the chilling tune made the violent mounted bandits immediately panic.
"Where are you? Get out immediately!"
"Leave the food and livestock behind, and we will let you live!"
"Don't let me catch you, otherwise..."
A shouting bandit was shot through the throat by an arrow, and he staggered and fell under his horse. The other bandits held their breath. After a few seconds of silence, the sound of arrows piercing the air came from all directions.
Came over.
The reason why more than two thousand herdsmen dared to stay was not only because of their desire for food, but more importantly because of their ability to face the war. They served the people in their leisure time and served as the army in the war. These herdsmen had fought in the war.
They come from different tribes and belong to different wolf kings and lords. In the past, it was almost impossible for this group of powerful herdsmen to gather together, but in order to find a way out in Sangro Port, they became comrades fighting side by side.
In the dark night, the shepherd's arrow skills were still accurate, and almost every arrow could take away a life. In the chaotic and crowded camp, the bandits could not find the herdsman at all, and watched helplessly as their companions around them died one after another.
Under a cold arrow.
Several gangsters seemed to have woken up. One of them raised his machete and shouted: "Set fire! Set fire quickly! Burn this hellish place to the ground!"
Burning and killing are always the best methods of gangsters. Burn all these unsightly tents so that the damn herdsmen have nowhere to hide. At that time, they will let them kill them arbitrarily.
Gangsters are gangsters, and their thinking is rough and simple. Even the most experienced gangsters have crude tactics when they are in danger.
This was not the caravan they were accustomed to robbing, nor the old, weak, women and children they were accustomed to killing. They thought that there were only a few herdsmen dealing with them, and that they could catch all their opponents by using the tricks that bandits were used to.
They didn't know that they were facing a group of prepared warriors, leading a mad elf to launch a war of annihilation.
Several horse bandits set fire to the tents around them. Under such coercion, a normal herdsman should come out immediately and surrender. However, the fire spread to the entire camp in an instant, cutting off the way out for this group of horse bandits.
"How is this possible? How did the fire burn so fast!" The panicked bandits wanted to escape, but they could not organize their formation in a short time. Some wanted to retreat back to the original route, and some wanted to
After rushing to the end, some of the mounted bandits simply crashed into the sea of fire without thinking. Many of the mounted bandits died from the collision and trampling of their horses. Looking at the miserable situation in the camp, Hurley sighed and said: "This group of bandits
How dare an idiot come to fight?"
Hurley asked the herdsmen to stockpile a large amount of hay in the camp and asked Reggie for some white phosphorus. After receiving the alarm, he poured the white phosphorus on the hay and then led the herdsmen out of the camp and saw the mounted bandits walking in.
He fell into the trap and originally wanted to go back and set the fire himself, but unexpectedly the stupid gangster did it for him.
The camp turned into a sea of fire in an instant, and the herdsmen lurked around the camp, calmly shooting the escaping horsemen.
The Golden Wolf King, who was standing in the distance, received the battle report from the sentry. His bandit troops were ambushed. This surprised the Golden Wolf King. What was even worse was that the sentry did not identify the enemy. They mistakenly identified the enemy.
The shepherds became Reggie's troops.
Now that Reggie has appeared, his elite troops should also appear. The sentinel found the general direction of the enemy, and the Golden Wolf King sent a lord with a sturdy cavalry to rush towards the back of the shepherd.
By the firelight of the camp, Reggie standing on the tower clearly watched the battle situation.
First of all, we can confirm that these shepherds are worth protecting.
Iron Skull, who was riding a giant wolf, eagerly raised his battle axe, waiting for Reggie's order.
But Reggie left the first opportunity to attack to Natalie.
"Come on, my Elf Queen!" Reggie said with a smile, "The appetizer has been eaten, it's time to serve the enemy the first feast!"
