Although there is a huge gap in strength between individual monsters, the threat increases exponentially when they form a swarm. Generally speaking, to suppress a swarm of about a hundred monsters, at least 300 well-trained soldiers are needed.
Coupled with a commander who is familiar with the tactics, and if you want to annihilate them quickly, it is best to have more than 600 troops.
Just looking at this ratio, you can see how unreliable the rumor that the hunter cavalry has repeatedly defeated the wild monsters with only fifty people is based on common sense. In fact, until not long ago, most of the people in the settlement only regarded it as a chant.
Look at the nonsense stories spun by bards.
However, when they were attacked by a swarm of stone monsters and almost half a step away from being wiped out, the person who appeared on the road like a gust of wind was none other than the rumored "Hunter Rider".
The sight of fifty cavalrymen destroying a cluster of stone monsters in the blink of an eye deeply shocked the people of the settlement. From now on, this deserter group should become loyal fans of the hunting cavalry and spare no effort to publicize their heroic deeds, right? Yes.
For the villagers, it is gratifying to receive the help of the hunting knights, but if we look at the longer term, "from now on Liyang Mansion has the means to fight against the disaster of stone monsters", it is truly worthy of joy.
things.
It's no wonder that Ji Zheng, who came back from negotiating with the hunting cavalry, was also full of joy and even his voice was much louder.
"Guys! Work harder and pull the cage car out!"
Under the command of Ji Zheng, the several beasts of burden that were pulled out and the men from the settlement were dragged together, and finally the cage car that was stuck in the mud was slowly moved to the side. While the cage car was moving, the women were holding wooden boards.
Follow nervously, and when the cage car rises a little, put wooden boards under the wheels, and then lift the cage car out of the mud little by little.
Seeing the cage car slowly moving towards the shore and rising up, the residents of the settlement expressed joy. However, just as they were shouting and trying to get the strength to pull the cage car out, a scream suddenly came from the side.
"What? What happened!?"
"Yes, there is a strange monster coming out!"
Ji Zheng looked in shock and saw that there was a stone monster hanging on the back edge of the cage car. The stone monster that had sunk was pulled out of the mud along with the cage car. The stone monster that regained the movement of its upper body immediately roared, grabbed the cage car and thought
Pull the lower body out of the mud as well.
The ferocious appearance of the stone monster caused the women around to scream in surprise.
But before the chaos had time to spread outward, an arrow shot from outside the mud. The arrow was very powerful, and the front end was equipped with a square shovel to restrain the hard-armored monster. One arrow shot through the stone monster's
Fang's head was shot. The stone monster fell heavily into the mud, but this time it never got up again.
"Oh! He actually shot down the stone monster with one arrow..."
"It's at least two hundred steps over there, right? It's amazing..."
The residents of the settlement looked at the female general on guard outside the mud pond, who was holding a bow, and were amazed by her skill in shooting with a hundred steps.
On the other hand, Han Yu who shot the arrow also breathed a sigh of relief. The stone monster was too close to the crowd, so she did not dare to use the explosive arrowhead. Although the square shovel arrowhead had special effects of breaking armor, it was impossible to shoot an arrow normally.
Just shooting down the stone monster is something that can only be done in the special terrain in front of you.
"There may still be stone monsters lurking, don't relax your guard until all the cage trucks are hauled out!"
"yes!"
Han Yu, who put away his arrows, ordered his subordinates, and the hunting cavalry gave particularly high-spirited answers.
There was little use in telling them to stay calm at this time. In fact, even Han Yu himself could hardly be called calm.
There was no way around it, but with a force of fifty cavalry, they defeated a swarm of over a hundred stone monsters, at the slight cost of only a few casualties. Such a miraculous achievement was a great success for both the commander and the soldiers.
There is an existence that drives people crazy like an anesthetic.
The fifty hunting cavalry in front of us are elites selected from the Feathered Cavalry Battalion. Although they are elites, because the Feathered Cavalry Battalion itself is already an elite force that shocks all nations, the difference in force between the Hunting Cavalry and the Feathered Cavalry is probably
Just one hundred and eighty. With a force difference of less than 20%, even if you take advantage of the right time and place, it is impossible to achieve more than a hundred times the glorious results. The reason why the hunting cavalry can achieve consecutive victories is actually that gun
A treasure trove of new equipment.
The Brahma staff named "Nizewu" is the key to restraining the stone monster.
These days, Han Yu has led the hunting cavalry to patrol the roads around the capital, and has successively defeated groups of wild monsters encountered on the way. After each battle, Han Yu will immediately sort out the battle records and tactical key points, and send people
Send them back to Liyang Bing Caosi. After all, challenging the horde of wild monsters with fifty cavalry is too foolhardy in terms of common sense. Everyone from Han Yu on down is ready to sacrifice at any time.
Sacrifice is sacrifice, but Chief Cao Xiu has stated that they are tools used to establish the suitability of Nizewu's tactics, so even if they sacrifice themselves, they must pass on the record of their experiences.
Although they had the consciousness of sacrifice, the hunting cavalry who had experienced successive actual battles did not lose a single person. Instead, orders from Cao Si, the rear soldier, came like snowflakes. Those orders can basically be summarized into two points. One is to praise the hunter.
The second reason for Hunting Cavalry's military exploits is that he repeatedly emphasized that he must keep the staff no matter what.
Just from the frequency of three orders a day, Han Yu could imagine the scene where the senior officials were trembling with excitement watching those battle reports. In fact, even the female archers were sometimes horrified by the reports they wrote. Nizewu
It has enough power to destroy clusters of stone monsters without causing actual damage to people or objects. If it can be equipped in batches for the leader's army, the situation that Liyang leader has been suffering from the disaster of stone monsters for a long time may be completely changed!
Thinking about it this way, I feel even more trembling about the fact that I have such a precious treasure in my hand——
As the leader of hundreds of feather cavalry, Han Yu has the strength and performance corresponding to his position.
She once charged into battle among tens of thousands of troops, and also rode alone to defeat wandering monsters. She was admired by the heroine of the palace for her loyalty and bravery, and was entrusted with the important task of commanding the personal guards. It is impossible to say that Han Yu would sacrifice blood.
She is afraid that fighting to the end to protect her lord and the people is rather her long-cherished wish.
But on the other hand, Han Yu is quite bad at using Yun weapons. Not only her, but most of the soldiers in the Bingcao Division have rough martial arts styles. Among them, there are very few people who are good at handling Yun weapons, and Han Yu is just a slightly more serious one among them.
Type. For such Han Yu, the task of establishing a new combat method while ensuring precious weapons is too difficult. The three orders sent by the Bingcao Division a day put the female archer under extra heavy pressure.
Han Yu subconsciously rubbed her stomach. She had not had a good night's sleep since she started commanding the hunting cavalry, and she had been suffering from frequent stomachaches recently. Han Yu began to seriously consider whether to simply follow the deserters back to Liyang.
The city is temporarily resting.
In the past few days, the hunting cavalry has defeated more groups of stone monsters than the average number of Yuqi battalions over the years. In terms of performance, it is more than enough, and the experience in combat tactics has also accumulated to a level that needs to be sorted out. From the perspective of the commander, although
The morale of the Chasseurs is still high, but they have inevitably accumulated a lot of fatigue from consecutive days of fighting. It should be a safer approach to return to Liyang City to rest for a while before setting off on the expedition.
More importantly, the "Nizewu" that is used repeatedly must also be sent to the manufacturer for regular inspection.
This is another thing that Bing Cao Wei repeatedly mentioned in his orders, but it also means that Han Yu must go to see the master of Gewuxingfang, the man who played with the Yuqi camp in the palm of his hand with the power of a single horse.
Thinking of this, the female archer suddenly felt her stomach cramping again.
