Heroes of the Invincible Knight

"Step, step, step..."

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

"kill!"

"kill!"

More than ten miles outside the city of Sylgrad, it has become the front line where the scouts of the two sides are fighting. A group of cavalry and centaur warriors from the Northland suddenly encountered each other. A violent conflict ensued, and it may not be appropriate to say that it was a violent conflict. On the scene, it appeared that a large number of centaur warriors were chasing this small group of human cavalry.

Although the number of human cavalry is small, their style is quite sturdy. The light cavalry in the north may not be as elite as the cavalry in the west, but their fighting will and desire to fight are definitely more than equal. After encountering centaur warriors, this The first reaction of more than a dozen northern cavalry was to shoot a round of arrows at the centaur.

This kind of riding bow is not a big threat to the orc infantry. Even with armor-piercing arrows, it is difficult to break through the thick armor of the orcs. The momentum was only audible, but the shot on the centaur achieved considerable results.

The smelting technology of centaurs is far inferior to that of orcs. Even if they temporarily ally with orcs, orcs do not have a lot of armor suitable for centaurs in a short period of time. Except for a few centaur leaders who obtained suitable armor from orcs, most of them Centaur warriors still only had a mix of old iron armor and leather armor, and they were even naked and supported by fur.

Although the riding bow in the hands of the northern knights was useless most of the time, its quality was quite excellent, and it shot down two centaur warriors on the spot.

The two casualties were nothing to more than a hundred centaur warriors, but they completely angered these centaur warriors, and the leading centaur warrior rushed forward with a roar, regardless of the orc's order to let them investigate carefully. go up.

It's not that these centaur warriors are reckless, but that they do have the qualifications to do so. As far as cavalry is concerned, the cavalry of the western region, which is recognized as the strongest in the human kingdom, was defeated by them. What is denied is the powerful combat effectiveness of these natural cavalry.

With their crude equipment, they can become a serious threat to the north of the Beastman Kingdom, and they are indeed outstanding.

"Catch up and kill them all!"

Facing more than a hundred centaur warriors, the northern cavalry of course turned around and ran away after releasing their arrows without any hesitation. However, although the horses of these northern cavalry are good, they are not red flame horses produced by the system. The speed is still not as good as the centaur warrior who is one with a horse and a horse.

Soon, the distance between the two sides was shortened to about 50 meters. The centaur tried to shoot a few arrows at the northern cavalry, and the accuracy was quite good. However, the equipment of the northern army was better than that of the regular army of the kingdom, and they were basically immune to it. It hit an arrow thrown by a centaur fifty meters away.

Seeing that the bow and arrow were not effective, the leading centaur simply ordered his men to sprint with all their strength, picked up the battle ax and long-handled pickaxe in their hands, chased the human cavalry who were directly in front of them, and used the most violent way to deal with them. Centaurs and orcs have been fighting for so many years, and they have faced countless orc heavy armored soldiers, so naturally there are ways to fight heavy armored soldiers.

"Master Baihu! Human cavalry appeared on both sides, and they seem to be here to support."

"Don't judge them, keep chasing them, if they dare to come up to help, kill them together!"

"Yes, Lord Baihu!"

Of course, the centaur head of the centaur also saw a small number of human cavalry gathering on both sides, and seemed to be making an outflanking action, but he didn't mean to worry at all. , There is no way to hide more people on the plain. He just glanced at the overwhelmed human cavalry on both wings, and continued to chase regardless. Today he must kill those annoying human cavalry.

thirty meters

twenty meters

The centaur chased closer and closer. At this distance, more than a dozen human cavalry who were fleeing could not escape. Even if they tried their best to turn around and come over, the speed of the horse could not be increased. Just when the centaur was about to catch up with the human cavalry in front, these cavalry suddenly spread out to both sides, and three human cavalry appeared facing them.

The three cavalry quickly launched a sprint holding the knight's spear. The three cavalrymen were a bit weird, this was the centaur Baihu's first reaction when he saw the three human cavalrymen charging forward, from armor to horses they were quite different from the group of cavalrymen he was chasing just now.

Especially the war horses. The three war horses under the crotch of the three human cavalry who came from the hedge had strange colors. The red and black color scheme was already strange, and the red was like a burning flame.

What is more intuitive is the size. The large western horses introduced and bred by the northern cavalry were only slightly larger than the centaur, but the three war horses in front of them were a full circle bigger than the centaur, and they were taller than the strong half-centaur. Half of the centaur warrior's head, the knight on the horse can completely look down on the oncoming centaur warrior.

However, no matter how weird they are, there are only three of them, and a single charge can overwhelm them.

Facing the three human heavy cavalry sprinting from 20 meters away, the centaur Baihu didn't have any intention of backing down, but instead increased his speed a little bit.

The opponent's acceleration distance is too short, and the speed at this distance cannot be run at all. If the speed is not increased, the advantage of the body size will not be able to be used...

"boom!"

Next, the centaur Baihu who rushed to the front was knocked into the air, and the originally huge body appeared a little petite when it hit the red flame horse.

His common sense was completely broken by the champion knight in front of him. The red flame horse showed him a short-distance limit speed increase, and he entered the sprint state in just a few steps.

All the viscera of the hit centaurs seemed to have been hit hard. This kind of impact, even if the champion knight hadn't used his fighting spirit, he couldn't bear it.

Falling to the ground, the tomahawk in his hand flew to nowhere. He raised his head in struggle, but his consciousness gradually became blurred. Before he completely closed his eyes, he only saw three blooming battle qi lights.

"Hey!"

"boom!"

The three champion knights rushed into the team of a hundred centaur warriors as if they were in no man's land. The strongest centaur Baihu was only slightly stronger than the average knight, and he couldn't hold on for even a second in front of the champion knights. .

After the centaurs behind were knocked into the air by more than a dozen horses one after another, the speed of the champion knight was limited.

After getting into the melee, the centaur discovered that although they were more numerous and seemed to surround the three champion knights, they were actually unable to get close to them. Well, the three champion knights just guarded three directions. Before their fighting spirit was exhausted, the centaur warriors didn't even have a chance to fight hand-to-hand. It was obvious that the three champion knights surrounded them.

After being killed more than half by the champion knight, and without the leading Baihu, the centaur warrior finally stopped besieging and tried to escape.

Only then did they realize that the dozens of human cavalry who had been wandering on the two wings and the dozen or so cavalry who had fled before had surrounded them. The one who came up to clean up the mess that was beaten by the champion knight.

"kill!"

"boom!"

"Hey!"

The fleeing centaur had no fighting power and was hunted down by human cavalry all the way. Fortunately, they were born cavalry, and under such circumstances, a dozen or so centaurs ran out.

"withdraw!"

"Take our dead bodies and withdraw!"

"Another delay, the centaur brigade is coming."

Under the powerful force of the champion knights, the human side annihilated a centaur centurion at a very small cost.

However, the commander didn't even have time to congratulate, so he urged his subordinates to evacuate as soon as possible. They just let the centaur pay a little for their arrogance.

When the centaur brigade arrives, apart from the champion knight, none of the dozens of cavalry here will be able to escape.

After tying up the bodies of the two dead in battle and stabbing a few suspicious enemy corpses, the cavalry squad left quickly.

In less than ten minutes, there was another intensive sound of horseshoes here.

Thousands of centaur warriors rushed here and looked at the direction in which the human cavalry retreated...

...

Srgrad

This city had been completely transformed into a military city shortly after Gru took over. The number of troops in the city was twice that of civilians. Teams of soldiers patrolled the streets to prevent people from being in the city during the war. make trouble.

The originally unobstructed streets were riddled with horses, barbed wire, sandbags and other objects. Except for the city walls, many places on the corner houses were erected with bed crossbows and cannons. Obviously, the defenders did the worst. intended.

Nearly 300,000 defenders seem to be numerous, but the ones that are really powerful are the 100,000 troops that Gelu brought back from the northern front. From fighting in the northern dense forest to the edge of the orc plateau, Li Cha has experienced many battles with the orcs, and all of them ended in victory.

Compared with other human armies, they are not only elite, but also have no fear of orcs, and even have a certain psychological advantage. Except for these 100,000 people, the rest are the rout soldiers gathered by Gru and the garrison army originally stationed in the city.

These people said that the mob may be a little too much, but the combat power is indeed worrying. Fortunately, Gru's ability to lead troops is good, so that he can organize this chaotic group of soldiers to barely have combat capability in a short time. But letting them fight the orcs immediately is really a little bit reluctant.

The hole cards in Gelu's hand were still the soldiers of the system and the generals under his command.

"Master Gelu, the cavalry sent out today have achieved a good harvest. Those centaurs have no defense at all. They lost at least a thousand."

"If more are sent out..."

"Okay, let them come back, just take advantage of it, do you really treat the 200,000 and a half horses as if they don't exist?"

"yes"

"In addition, let the logger come back. The orc's forward has already arrived. There is no need to determine the loss if it hits."

Using champion knights and ordinary cavalry to pit centaurs is just a small matter after all, and it can't even slow down the actions of the orc army.

…

at dusk

Under the bright red light of the setting sun, the last cavalry entered the city of Sylgrad, and the soldiers guarding the bridge immediately pulled up the suspension bridge over the moat.

On the edge of the bare mountain that was chopped down in the distance, the blood spear flag with the head of the beast belonging to the orcs was raised high, and it first appeared in the sight of the humans in the city.

Then, along the outline of the low slope, a black line appeared, just like a black line drawn by someone with a pen on the ground following the terrain.

This black line also followed the Beast Head Blood Spear Banner and slowly approached the city of Sylgrad...

When the black line spread over the gentle slope and came to the flat bottom, look carefully. It is not a black line. It is obviously the densely packed orc warriors that have changed the color of the earth.

The orc army still arrived at Sylgrad before the Northland army...
