"I am very sure that when His Majesty King Steubin led the fleet to come here all the way, it was to fight for the ownership of this place. I heard the old man at that time said that the waterways here were densely covered with quagmire everywhere, and it really became a
The plains have only happened in the past two years. The Yongye military leader also waited until this place was completely restored before officially starting to build it. As for the local Crocodile Clan villages, you have seen them before, they are almost like refugee camps.
.”
"I have long heard that the Yongye Army has suddenly emerged in recent years. With a group of mountain people, it has become the most influential military leader in the Byron Alliance. Their lord even married a royal princess. I originally thought it was an exaggeration.
, now it seems that it is indeed well-deserved.”
"Why do you think so much? For us, this is a great thing. The richer they are, the more we will gain in the future."
"They are more difficult than we thought. If you look carefully at the layout of their houses, the outermost houses are not built in one direction, but in a regular ring. The backs of all the houses are facing towards
Outside, the windows are set up so high, what do you think it looks like?"
"Arrow holes in the tower?"
"That's right, it's the arrow hole in the tower. This damn village is not a village at all, but a small fortress. Once our whereabouts are exposed, we must attack the fort before we can rush in."
"It's a bit difficult to get in quietly. There are two arrow towers at the two entrances of the village and town. There are at least four guards on duty above. Who knows if there are secret sentries in the dark."
"Can you think of a way to touch them?"
"It's definitely not possible during the day. The terrain here is too vast and there is no cover at all. You can try it after nightfall."
The one-eyed pirate group that sneaked outside the plunder target can be described as a world of ice and fire.
What is cold is the body, what is hot is the heart.
The villages and towns led by the Yongye Army exceeded their imagination.
Red tiles and blue bricks, steep ridges and high walls are arranged in an orderly manner. In the villages and towns, there are faint sounds of barking dogs, cows, sheep, and roosters, which are full of a strong atmosphere of life.
Surrounding the villages and towns are large tracts of fertile land, including acres of wheat fields and large sections of rice fields, as well as various fruits and vegetables that they know and don't know.
Among them, the wheat fields and rice fields are already empty. Apparently the harvest has been completed and the grain has been put into warehouses.
When they came over quietly, it was dinner time, smoke was rising from every house, and the air was filled with the rich fragrance of rice and vegetables.
It aroused the greed of many pirate members, and their stomachs were rumbling. Since they landed, they have drank a mouthful of hot water and eaten a mouthful of hot food.
This made them even more eager to move, eager to rush into the villages and towns immediately and take everything here for themselves.
It's just the layout of the Yongye Army leader that makes them feel very tricky.
It is estimated that the opponent put defense first when building, and did not consider issues such as lighting at all. They used houses as walls and formed villages into fortresses. The surrounding houses were all double-storey, with a starting height of five meters. Even for knights,
Without external help, it is not easy to rush forward.
"Be prepared with both hands. If you can touch the guard off, go in. If you can't, be prepared to rush in." One-eyed Theodore quickly made a decision, "I don't believe it. They are a small village.
Can you still withstand the impact of our three hundred elite warriors?"
"That's how it should be." Boatswain David slapped his thigh heavily and said, "Secretly pass down the order, let everyone eat something first, and don't eat too much. Let's have real dinner in their village.
, then I will personally take people to touch their sentry... No, there are horses neighing, there are a lot of horses neighing. How can there be a lot of horses in a village? Is there a garrison here? "
"Garrison? Is it a trap? No, we came here randomly. Does the Yongye Army have so many troops?" Theodore's brows knitted into a knot.
"There are indeed cavalry led by the Yongye Army there, and they have come out."
"Everyone is silent."
As he was talking, the village gate opened with a bang, and a group of cavalry rushed out. There were not many, about thirty, about the size of a squadron.
The war horses under their crotches have thick hoof muzzles, long and thin hair on the temples, and piercing eyes. They look for power, and their heads are always held high. Even people who don't understand horses can see that they are extraordinary.
The knights on their backs are even more extraordinary, with uniform armor, uniform spears, uniform bamboo hats, and uniform cloaks, just like spears, sitting upright on their war horses.
One-eyed Theodore recognized their identities at a glance. They were members of the Guards Corps led by the Yongye Army that had blocked them on the river section.
Why are their troops here?
Is it their reserve team? Or did they also divide their troops?
Either way, it's not good news for them.
The villages and towns led by the Yongye Army seem to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there are regular troops stationed there, the difficulty of capturing them will increase significantly.
"Thank you to the village chief for your hospitality. I also ask the village chief to be careful in guarding in the past two weeks. Kaoer Village is at the outermost edge, and those bandits may come at any time. Once their traces are discovered, the village chief must not have any
If you hesitate, send a signal immediately to inform us, and within half an hour, someone will support you." Squadron Leader Omar repeatedly warned.
Village Chief Kaoer said with a smile: "Captain, don't worry. Although these young people in our village are not as good as regular troops like you, they have not given up on daily militia training. There are a few good guys with good martial arts skills. When they grow up, they will
, maybe we can become one of you, it’s fine if they don’t come, but if they come, I’ll let those thieves know that we are not easy to bully.”
"It's always right to be careful." Squadron Leader Omar nodded.
"It's getting late, and now it's raining again. Why don't the squadron leader rest for a night before leaving?" Village Chief Kaul couldn't help but suggest again.
"Thank you village chief for your kindness, but the war is urgent. Having a meal here is already a delay. We also need to walk around several nearby villages to see if any pirate vanguards have penetrated. It is really too late to delay.
." Squadron Leader Omar shook his head and refused.
"Official matters are important, so I won't force you to stay. If you need anything, just say hello. The door of our Kaoer Village will always be open to you, and we will always be your strongest support." The mayor of Kaoer Village looked understanding.
.
"Thank you, village chief... Huh..." Captain Omar suddenly turned his head, his eyes fell on the hiding place of the one-eyed pirate group, and magical fluorescence suddenly burst out from his eyes.
Auxiliary combat skills: reconnaissance.
It allows the user's eyes to temporarily enter the surgical eye state to see further, and has many functions such as low-light vision and thermal image perception, allowing them to see scenes that are usually invisible to the naked eye.
Seeing the strange red light emanating from Squadron Leader Omar's eyes from a distance, One-Eyed Theodore felt his scalp numb and screamed in his heart that he had been discovered. Damn it, why did a warlock appear here?
Theodore was shocked but not confused. He suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Brothers, come with me now and fight inside. You can eat and drink good wine and meat, you can enjoy the wealth, you can play with women... kill
ah……"
The sudden order from pirate leader Theodore really shocked the members of the One-Eyed Pirate Group.
Didn't we agree before that we would wait until nightfall before taking action in the dark?
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
Boatswain David was not slow to react, knowing that their actions had been exposed. Instead of waiting for the other party to come and kill them, he might as well take the initiative into his own hands, wave his sword, and loudly echo: "What are you waiting for?
Wine, food, beauty, and wealth are right in front of your eyes. Whether you can get them or not depends on you. Kill them all with me."
After saying that, he rushed out first, stepping on the muddy field, and rushed towards the squadron of the Yongye Army leading the Guards Corps.
"What are you waiting for? A bright future is waiting for us! Kill them all!"
"Kill them all! Everything will be ours!"
"Come on! Kill them all!"
After a brief moment of daze, the members of the One-Eyed Pirate Group rushed towards the Guards Squadron, shouting and waving their weapons.
These people don't have as many calculations as their captain Theodore. They have a very simple concept in their hearts, that is, their number is ten times that of the opponent. It is also a rainy day when night falls, even if the opponent is a cavalry with full armor.
, they can also drown them with numbers.
Once they are defeated, the villages behind them will be left to their own devices to wreak havoc.
The corner of Captain Omar's mouth slightly curled up, revealing a cold sneer: "I didn't expect that a big and fast fish would come in, just in time to use your sacrificial flag. The third squadron, prepare to meet the enemy."
Following the squadron leader's order, the Guards Cavalry quickly took action and formed a cone-shaped charge formation in less than half a minute.
Captain Omar did not forget to turn to the somewhat dumbfounded Village Chief Kaur and said: "Village Chief, sound the alarm, summon the security personnel and militiamen in the village, just in case, guard the gate tightly, without my order,
Don’t open the door.”
"Okay, okay, okay." Village Chief Kaoer nodded repeatedly as if he had just woken up from a dream. After all, he had never experienced a decent battle, and his ability to adapt to emergencies was much worse after all.
He turned around and ran for two steps, then thought of something again, turned around and said hurriedly: "Squadron Captain, do you need our support?"
"Just guard the gate." Captain Omar replied in a sullen voice. He had already put down his mask, picked up the brass camphor gun, and rushed to the front of the third squadron, shouting loudly.
, "Third Squadron, follow me to defeat the enemy."
"Destroy the enemy!"
All the Evernight Cavalry shouted in unison.
Under the leadership of Squadron Leader Omar, the 3rd Squadron rushed towards the One-Eyed Pirates in a cone-shaped charge formation, walking on the muddy road and facing the drizzle of light rain.
The autumn rain in the Donau Plain is very lingering. The ground has not been dry for nearly half a month, let alone the light rain that has been falling for a while. It does not seem to be heavy, but it is quite substantial.
The cultivated land that has just been harvested is almost like a quagmire. It looks very solid. If you step on it, the mud and water can directly cover your feet.
The one-eyed pirate group charged very hard.
It is also difficult to increase the speed of the third squadron.
As for the bow and arrow, in this environment, there is no need to take it out. Even if it is not wet, the bow string has long been soaked with moisture, making it weak and weak, with limited elasticity.
"Throw the spear, shoot!" Squadron Leader Omar also ordered loudly.
"Hand axe, throw the hand ax and smash them to death!" the captains and boatswains of the One-Eyed Pirates ordered one after another.
The reason why elites are called elites is not only their personal qualities, but also their tenacious fighting will and sophisticated equipment.
Soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles will prepare equipment to deal with various situations according to their own preferences.
When encountering those whose equipment does not look capable and is full of strange weapons and equipment, you should often be careful. The opponent is either an inexperienced novice or a master who has already developed his own fighting style.
But there are obvious differences between the two.
The equipment of the One-Eyed Pirate Group is very messy. Although they are mainly short-armed axes, they look all kinds of strange. You can tell at a glance that they are not made by the same craftsman, and some are even polished by the soldiers themselves.
Throwing techniques and accuracy also vary greatly. Some are hard and accurate, while others are fluffy and soft. Just throw them and you're done.
The medium and short-range throwing weapons used by the Third Squadron are short throwing spears, which are uniform in length and thickness. You can tell at a glance that they are produced on the assembly line. Even the movements are uniform and very standard. You can tell at a glance that they have received special training.
The most important thing is that at the moment of taking action, the cavalry's eyes, arms, and spear are all flashing with magical fluorescence.
Combat skill: Spear throwing.
Use magic to accurately calculate the attack route of the war spear, and correct the throwing action to a certain extent. The accuracy of the war spear is increased by 30%, the throwing speed of the war spear is increased by 30%, and the throwing range of the war spear is increased by 100%.
Thirty.
In addition, the third squadron is on top of the war horses, and its initial speed and height are both higher than the one-eyed pirate group.
Therefore, the order of the mid-range attack this time was that the third squadron took action first, and when their spears were about to fall on the One-Eyed Pirates, the One-Eyed Pirates' hand axes were launched one after another.
The timing of the attack, the method of the attack, and the nature of the skill.
There are many factors that determine the outcome of the first round of competition between the two sides, and there is a huge difference.
In the sound of "Puff", accompanied by a short scream of "Ahhh", more than a dozen pirates were pierced by short spears from top to bottom. After falling to the ground, they could never get up again. The hit rate was as high as more than half.
Combat skills allow the soldiers of the Yongye Army to throw their war spears no longer purely by luck and feel, but by carefully calculating and accurately throwing them.
The one-eyed pirates swarmed up in a chaotic manner. Although the numbers thrown were numerous, hundreds, less than one-third actually appeared in the sky above the third squadron.
Because just when the throwing ax was coming, they launched another combat skill.
Combat skills: Cavalry charge.
Let the soldiers and war horses enter a state of unity, so that the charge speed of the war horses is increased by 30%, the charging distance is increased by 30%, and the damage caused by frontal collision is reduced by 30%.
The instantaneous soaring speed caused the One-Eyed Pirates to make huge misjudgments in their throws, and they used too much force.
Even if he was extremely lucky and accidentally hit the third squadron, the damage he could exert would still be quite limited.
