King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 37

A few days later, outside Cold Winter Fortress, a huge team gradually gathered. The First Noxus Infantry Regiment was like a long dragon, majestic. Sixty centaur warriors were distributed on both sides of the long dragon. They were giant dragons. In the end, there are thousands of tauren slaves and hundreds of wooden plows. Once the team is deployed, it can stretch for more than ten miles.

People in Winter Fortress stepped out of their homes one after another, watching this huge army go away.

When the soldiers of the Noxus family went out last time, they defeated the powerful tauren and centaur tribes and brought tens of thousands of cattle and sheep. What will they bring back this time?

During the last expedition, there was only an infantry regiment of more than 1000 members of the Noxus family, but this time, the number has become five times that of before.

What made Charles feel depressed was that there were more than 4000 orcs in this team, while there were only more than 1000 humans. It was hard to say whether he was a human baron or the great chief of the orc tribe.

Unlike last time, this time with the guidance of a centaur guide, the speed of the march was much faster, and many detours were avoided.

A few days later, the army headed north from Cold Winter Fortress and rested by a long river.The pasture here has withered and yellowed, and the color of the grassland has become dull. The autumn wind brushes over the dead pasture, making a whimpering sound.

This long river is called the Knockin River. It used to have a lot of water. A few decades ago, when Winter Fortress was strong enough, there were large tracts of farmland here, and even many nobles came here to experience the so-called frontier style. Many holiday estates have been built near here, and some orchards have also been built along the way.

But over the past few decades, the orcs have gradually become stronger, and the human border has shifted further and further south, and this place has become a battle zone between humans and orcs.The canals used for irrigation have long since dried up, and the orchards have been so deserted that they can't see their original appearance.The originally flat and large farmland has become a barren pasture.

The so-called reclamation of wasteland, from a certain point of view, is nothing more than retaking human territory.

Shire's reclamation plans to use the Knockin River as the standard, and restore the former farmland along the river bank.

However, on the grassland, places with water sources are livable places. On both sides of the Rhine River are endless grasslands, where many small tribes of orcs graze.

Last time, Shire was only busy dealing with the larger tribe of Tauren Hammer, and ignored these small tribes with tens of hundreds of people.Unexpectedly, instead of running away with their ass between their butts, these guys are still grazing here leisurely.

It seems that there are still not enough kills. It is only a few tens of miles away from Winter Fortress. These small tribes with tens of hundreds of people may not have as many people as the Hammer tribe, let alone they are still scattered.

Charles called the centaur Peter and asked, "What kind of tribes are there beside the Knockin River?"

"My lord, these are all vassal tribes that once took refuge in the Tauren Hammer tribe. Now that the Hammer tribe has been surrendered by you, these tribes are probably fighting on their own."

Charles understood that without his intervention, it is estimated that in a few years, a certain orc tribe would win the battle, conquer the surrounding small tribes, become such a big tribe as the Hammer tribe, and then invade Rin in the south. Winter Fortress.

It's a pity that they won't have this opportunity now that Shire is here.

Talking to these orcs, spears are much easier to use than mouths, first kill a few tribes to stand up, otherwise no one will be honest and obedient in the future.

Ever since, with an order, sixty centaur came out first, followed by a large group of infantry, and headed towards the nearest, a small tribe of tauren with no more than 300 people.

In fact, these small tribes of orcs had already discovered the arrival of the human baron, but they had no chance to leave at all. Not to mention the forage they stored hadn't been taken care of, but where could they go.

Although the Corimian prairie is extremely vast, every piece of pasture that is suitable for habitation is grazed by orc tribes. This pasture located on the Knockin River is already considered the best pasture around Cold Winter Fortress, and it is even better. Meadows that once belonged to the Hammer tribe.

After the Hammer tribe was wiped out, it wasn't that they didn't think about secretly occupying it, but soon, from the northern part of the Korimian prairie, a large centaur tribe came to this vacuum of power, replacing the Hammer tribe. .

For these small tribes, it would be great if they could keep this grassland, so how could they dare to expect anything else.

This small tribe of 300 tauren can produce [-] to [-] adult tauren.

Charles stood on a high ground and looked forward, and saw that the sixty or seventy tauren had already drawn out their weapons, but there were very few irons among them. After all, the ore mined from the mines of the Hammer tribe would not be given to these small tribes. .

This is the first time that centaur cavalry and human infantry have cooperated.

The centaur cavalry did not directly attack the sixty or seventy tauren, even though the morale of the group of tauren was low and their equipment was not good enough.The group of centaurs began to bend their bows and shoot arrows when they were 80 to [-] meters away from the tauren. After a while, the sparse rain of arrows fell on the group of tauren.

It is worthy of the reputation of fighting on the Korimian prairie. The shooting skills of this group of centaurs are very accurate. After a few rounds of arrow rain, the sixty or seventy tauren also suffered more than a dozen casualties.

In the state of defending their homeland, the morale of this group of tauren is high, and more than a dozen tauren have not collapsed after being killed or injured. The infantry of the Texas family, this group of tauren still panicked uncontrollably.

woo~
The whimpering horn sounded, adding a bit of sadness to the already desolate grassland.

The tauren began to trample on the ground anxiously, tapping their weapons left and right, making thumping noises, boosting their morale.

puff~
The centaur made a final volley, and dozens of arrows flew over, easily hitting the body of this group of tauren, but they are rough and thick, unless they hit a vital point, they can hold them.

The centaur began to swim around the tauren, while the infantry of the Noxus family pressed up.

The tauren's physical fitness is very strong. In a one-on-one situation, humans are most likely not to be opponents, but the army is a violent machine that depends on the degree of organization. The infantry of the Noxus family have been fighting against the orc invasion since childhood. Growing up, what they have been thinking about since childhood is how to kill people, how to kill orcs.Later, after entering the infantry regiment of the Noxus family, they even got rid of the pressure of life, thinking about how to kill people and how to gain military merit every day.

The spears stabbed recklessly, and the soldiers of the Noxus family cooperated with each other and dealt with the orcs in groups of three and three. With their skillful skills, it was difficult for the orcs to resist effectively. escape.

At this time, the cruising centaur bit it like a hyena, and the sharp spear easily pierced the back of the tauren who was trying to escape. When these tauren lose their courage, they are not much stronger than humans .

The blood gurgled and flowed into the Knockin River, dyeing the clear stream a bright red color.On the grassland, the corpses of sixty or seventy tauren were lying on the ground in disorder, exuding the stench of blood.

The first cooperation between Noxus human infantry and centaur cavalry can be said to be very successful.
