Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Chapter 495 Encounter in the wild

"Master Banner Leader! The scout team found a human army approaching Dragonscale Fort in the northern jungle!"

The dense forest in the north is not small, with dense vegetation and complicated topography. In addition, the legion brought by Sean is not familiar with the terrain. Even if 5,000 people are hidden in the mountain stream very close to Dragonscale Fort, it is not easy to find them.

But it is one thing to hide in the mountain stream, and another thing to go out and take action. Five thousand people marched in the woods, still approaching the Dragon Scale Fort, and the orc scouts noticed it in less than half a day. Report it to the current defenders of Dragonscale Fort.

"How many are there?"

Hearing that a human army suddenly appeared in the northern dense forest and approached Dragon Scale Fort, the orc commander showed a surprised expression. In his knowledge, the main human force had already evacuated Dragon Scale Fort and retreated to Dragon Wing City. , there should be no human army around here.

"The number is not clear, but it should not be many, not more than one legion."

It is difficult to judge the strength of an army marching in the forest. Even professional scouts can hardly determine the number of enemy troops through simple inspection. The orc scout team is already quite professional, at least judging Except for the army led by Elena, the number is not too large.

"Less than one legion?"

The leader of the Orc Banner stationed at Dragon Scale Fort was a little relieved after hearing this number, and his mood relaxed a little. After Sean took Dragon Scale Fort, he also attached great importance to Dragon Scale Fort, leaving behind a team of 5,000 people. The flag regiment was stationed, and a wolf cavalry brigade of 1,000 people was also dispatched. The combat power of the orcs was already higher than that of the human army. If they were still in a defensive position, then this advantage would be magnified.

For a solid fortress guarded by orcs, the human army must either have more than ten times the absolute number of troops, or have dragon knights participating in the attack. Otherwise, it will be difficult to break through the city. Normally, it is impossible for a legion of humans to take down the Dragonscale Fortress. of.

"What did the scouts do before? They didn't find so many human troops in the northern dense forest. If they directly harassed the grain road, how much trouble would it cause us?"

"It was the scout battalion's mistake! It's just that the dense forest in the north is too big, and we are not familiar with the terrain..."

"Don't make excuses. Fortunately, there is no major problem. I will write down this mistake for you first. Now hurry up and find out the exact number and direction of the human army, and then send someone to report the situation here to Longyi City."

"Yes, Master Banner!"

"Where's General Walls?"

"My lord, General Walls received a report from the patrolling wolf cavalry in the morning, and found a human knight group around. He personally led the main force of the wolf cavalry to clear it up."

"This guy…"

The head of the Orc Banner shook his head, a little helpless, the movement of the wolf cavalry out of the city was not small, he knew that the wolf cavalry had taken action, but he did not expect that the leader of this wolf cavalry, Walls, personally took the main force to leave the city, and there was no sign of it. Let him know.

Here, Sean actually made a big or small mistake. When he sent this wolf cavalry to support the garrison army of Dragonscale Fort, he didn't clarify the primary and secondary relationship between the two teams.

It stands to reason that the head of the banner stationed at Dragonscale Fort has 5,000 soldiers under his command, and his status should be higher than that of the wolf cavalry, but the status of the wolf cavalry in the orc kingdom is higher, and they are a little arrogant on weekdays. He was ordered to come to support the defenders of Dragonscale Fort, but he didn't take the commander of Dragonscale Fort so seriously. He didn't even report such things as going out of the city to fight, and took hundreds of soldiers with him. The wolf rider has left the city. Of course, it is also possible that he heard the patrolling cavalry say that the number of enemy cavalry they found was only a few dozen, and Walls didn't take it seriously. He just took it as a vent to vent his depression from being transferred from the main battlefield. That's all.

The head of the banner heard that most of the wolf cavalry had been taken out of the city by Walls to fight. Apart from being a little helpless, he was not particularly worried. Everyone knew that the most capable cavalry of human beings was still on the main battlefield on the center line. According to the information, there is no human cavalry on the northern front that can threaten thousands of wolf cavalry. Maybe Walls can bring him a surprise by taking the wolf cavalry out to fight.

After thinking about it, the head of the Orc Banner also turned his attention back to Dragonscale Castle itself, and ordered:

"Order the whole army, be on guard, don't take it lightly, we have been hoarding food and grass for the army for more than ten days, if something goes wrong, we will all be criminals!"

"Yes, Master Banner!"

About ten miles southwest of Dragonscale Fort, a group of wolf cavalry is galloping recklessly. The size of these giant wolves is no less than that of ordinary war horses, only slightly smaller than the big horses in the western region, but they are also of the same size. With a ferocious nature, most of the time, they can easily suppress the cavalry of Longxiguan. Only the cavalry of the western region can slightly compete with it when they have a numerical advantage.

"Lord Walls, look, those human cavalry."

Looking in the direction pointed by a wolf cavalry captain, there seems to be a cavalry team that is less than a centurion, and some horses don't even have knights yet.

"A knight order with one man and two horses?"

"Master Walls, some of them grew unicorns immediately, like the unicorns mentioned by those defeated soldiers before!"

The horror legend of the unicorn holy beast naturally spread to the officers of the wolf cavalry through the mouths of the rout soldiers. At this time, after two or three miles, seeing the real existence of the unicorn in the rout soldier's mouth, I was really shocked.

It's just that Walls said nonchalantly:

"Those unicorns, no matter how strong they are, they are nothing more than a group of horses. They don't even have any knights. How effective are they in combat? Those routs can't be used. Let's make up a story about horrific unicorns. "

After all, the orc commander Walls no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered:

"Order the fourth and fifth teams to detour from the south to seal the path of this human knight group to the south, the sixth team to go around to their right flank, and the rest join me to press from the front and approach at a normal speed !"

"Yes, Lord Walls!"

Although Walls acts a little impulsively, he will not fight uncertain battles, and his ability to command troops is not weak. No matter how arrogant he is, he can also observe that the human cavalry on the opposite side are not easy to deal with. The iron armor was shining brightly in the sun, except for the eyes, nothing was exposed, and even the tall war horse was completely protected under the armor.

This kind of equipment is not equipped by ordinary cavalry. No matter how you look at it, it looks like another formation of the human army, a knight order composed entirely of knight-level masters.

More than 30 human knights are considered valuable targets in the eyes of Walls, otherwise he would not lead the team to shoot, and he also brought almost all the wolf cavalry directly, so it must be safe.

Although a team of more than 30 human knights is not easy to mess with, the more than 1,000 wolf cavalry are also elites who have been fighting for a long time. It is still very sure to wipe out this human knights.

The two teams in the southwest direction blocked the inevitable direction for humans ahead of time, and the team on the right flank was designed to make a detour and try to encircle the main team, the human knights.

It's just that although Walls, the leader of this wolf cavalry, is clear-headed and his command is considered qualified, he never imagined what kind of existence he would encounter on his own initiative.

"Mlak, does this orc treat us like a persimmon?"

The human knights that Walls discovered were none other than Sir Mrak and Taris who led the army to join Elena to take down Dragonscale Fort.

Sir Mrak's speed bonus was maximized, and he was carrying faster high-level troops or flying troops. He just detoured in less than a day. When it was near the fort, the flag group that was closer was not yet in place.

After they arrived at Dragonscale Fort, they did not deliberately hide their whereabouts, and were soon discovered by the patrolling wolf cavalry that Walls had accepted, and it was only then that Walls took the initiative to lead his wolf cavalry to wipe them out.

"If I don't let the Griffin Knight and the Silver Pegasus Knight leave the team and hide first, I'm afraid these orcs won't dare to take the initiative to fight."

"Since the orcs took the initiative to fight, let's have a dessert before meeting Elena for a big meal."

After finishing speaking, Talis pulled off her mask to cover her charming face, and her temperament suddenly changed into that of a ruthless warrior.

Afterwards, as soon as Taris raised the lance in his hand, more than 30 champion knights behind him understood, and also raised the lance in his hand.

"rush!"

"kill!"

"Da da da da..."

The movement of the champion knight charging was quite loud. Compared with the wolf cavalry on the opposite side, the champion knight was completely wrapped in fine iron. When he moved, the armor on the man and the armor on the horse would have a unique metal collision sound. Under the seat of the champion knight are all red flame horses that are a circle larger than the big horses in the western region, and the horseshoes are even bigger. Although there are not many of them, the movement of charging is not small.

"Are you so inexperienced to start charging so early?"

This human knight group is probably composed of a group of nobles and knights with little combat experience.

After all, how can there be heavy cavalry who started to charge two or three miles away, and when they rushed to the front, the horses might not be able to run.

But soon, Walls was slapped severely by reality. The knights and unicorns on the other side seemed to have no physical limit at all. They charged two or three miles away but were still alive and well, without any sign of fatigue. The speed It's getting faster and faster.

You can't expect sixth-tier soldiers like the unicorn holy beast to exhaust their stamina first. The red flame horses under the champion knights are also physically amazing. They can gallop down thousands of meters without panting. How can they care about the distance of a few miles? , launched a charge directly under the command of Talis.

At this time, Walls had faintly noticed that there was something wrong with the knights in front of him, let alone those unicorns, why those horses carrying heavy armored knights could run faster than light cavalry, and they had so much physical strength, If all human horses were like this, the wolf cavalry would have been called younger brothers. According to this speed of collision, the loss this time may not be small.

But the arrow is already on the string and has to be launched. The opponent has already launched a charge. If he retreats at this time, it will not be a matter of heavy losses. It will be a disastrous defeat immediately. Under such circumstances, if you dare to turn around, you will be chased and killed immediately.

"Warriors of the Orcs! Charge!"

"kill!"

When the distance between the two sides approached 500 meters, Walls, who had no choice, also raised the scimitar in his hand and gave the order to charge.

...

...

Ordinary cavalry will try to maintain a cone shape when charging to ensure the team's impact and penetration ability, but the confident Talis did not set up such a formation. However, the orcs of the great warriors are completely crushing. The champion knight and the one-horned holy beast behind them are also formidable opponents for the orc wolf cavalry on the opposite side. Break through the opposing formation.

In order to cause the greatest damage to the orcs, Talis directly asked the team to form a thin fan-shaped formation. She herself was at the top of the fan-shaped convex surface, and more than 30 champion knights were lined up in a slight arc. The unicorn holy beast Following closely behind, looking at the two teams from a distance, it was like a line actively bumping into the surging waves.

"boom!"

The two teams collided fiercely. Although the orc wolf cavalry was not a heavy armored cavalry team, their equipment was not bad. Spiked helmets are specially used to top the necks of war horses.

The orc knights above were also wearing sturdy breastplates and iron helmets. With the ferocity of the giant wolf and the good combat effectiveness of the orc knights above, the orc wolf cavalry had a great advantage even when fighting against the human heavy cavalry.

It's just that today's human knights are completely different from the previous human cavalry.

When the two teams collided, the champion knight broke out in an instant. The lance in his hand pierced the breastplate of the wolf cavalry easily. With the blood gourd, with the strength of the champion knight, he could even continue to swing his lance to sweep away with one or two orcs hanging on the lance, and then swept the surrounding orc wolf cavalry off the giant wolf.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the huge difference in combat power was revealed. The fan formation formed by the champion knights remained motionless and continued to move forward, while the orcs kept falling from the giant wolf, and the scimitars in their hands even There is no chance of fighting back.
