King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 92 Intimidation
After Claude gave the order, the assembled knights lined up in three rows right in front of the Noxus infantry regiment, with horses stretching their bows and bows and arrows.

swoosh~
With the sound of arrows piercing the air, a large number of arrows shot at the Noxus infantry.The next moment, the tauren in the front row stepped forward and erected a large shield to protect himself and his teammates.

puff~
The arrows shot at the shield one by one, and only a few arrows hit the Tauren warrior from the gaps in the shield.However, the tauren has rough skin and thick flesh. After being shot, it was pulled out with force.A tauren can't be shot unless it hits the nail on the head.

After the first round of throwing by the Silver Fox Knights, the Noxian infantry continued to move forward with their shields raised, and the centaurs followed on both sides.

Now the distance between the two sides is 200 meters. Bow and arrow projectiles at this distance are not very lethal. The main purpose is to weaken the morale of the enemy and make them feel psychologically fearful, thus shaking their positions.

The cavalry regiment is too weak for the established infantry regiment. Even in the face of the cannon fodder regiment composed of serfs, the cavalry regiment seldom goes directly to the battle. After all, the cost of training a knight and recruiting a serf is astronomical. The difference is that war is an economic account. If you exchange cavalry for serf cannon fodder, you will lose money if you exchange one for ten.

The distance between the two sides was even closer. When the Noxus infantry regiment was less than [-] meters away from the Silver Fox Knights, the Silver Fox Knights' second wave of arrows came.

This time the arrow was much stronger than last time, and the aim was better.From time to time, arrows shot through the gaps in the shields to the soldiers in the second and third rows.However, the formation of the Noxus infantry regiment was only slightly disordered, but soon calmed down, and then moved forward steadily.

This also made Knight Commander Claude of the Silver Fox family understand that this infantry regiment is not a group of cannon fodder that can be frightened into collapse by a few rounds of arrow rain.

"Baron Shire actually trained these tauren slaves to become infantry fighters. Isn't he afraid of these tauren rebellion?" Claude complained, picked up the longbow behind his back, stretched his legs, and clamped the horse's belly , the buttocks were suspended on the horse's back, the bowstring was fully drawn, and the battle energy was activated, and then the arrow flew out with a "swish".

The galloping arrows directly shot through the wooden shield, and even wounded the tauren behind the shield.

"Knight commander Claude!" The knights shouted happily, cheering for Claude's strength. After all, no one wants to follow a useless leader.

"Charge with me!"

Knight Commander Claude lowered his bow and gave orders.

The knights of the Silver Fox family are knights who have undergone formal military training, not the tribal style of centaur.Cavalry combat is mainly about exerting its mobility. They are needed to harass the enemy, go deep into the enemy's rear, cut off food and grass, chase and flee after defeating the enemy, support firefighting, and even break up the army formation.

Even when it was time to charge, they did not rush forward mindlessly, but charged in batches, lined up, in formations, and in batches.And this is what human cavalry is good at, and what centaur cavalry lacks.

Therefore, the three hundred knights of the Silver Fox family reined in their horses and turned around, retreated 300 meters, and distanced themselves from the Noxus infantry to prepare for the next charge. In fact, the Silver Fox Knights can also retreat now. Noxian infantry could do nothing against them.

This is the mobility of the knights. Although they have no suitable way to take the dense infantry array, the infantry can't do anything to them.They fight when they want, and leave when they want, and the initiative of the war is completely in their hands.

Then the three hundred knights were divided into three columns, with one hundred veterans at the front and two hundred new recruits at the rear.Following Claude's order, a hundred veteran knights in the first row clamped their horses' bellies and leveled their spears. The horses they boasted trotted first, and then accelerated to a gallop. The horseshoes stomped heavily on the ground like thunder. It sounded, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Waiting for a row of knights to charge 200 meters, the second row of knights also began to wave their whips, urging the horses to charge, followed by the third batch.The heavy horseshoes sounded rhythmically, like the rumble before the storm.

At this moment, the tauren facing the charge of the war horse couldn't help swallowing their saliva, goose bumps appeared on their skin, maybe they drank too much broth in the morning, they now have a strong urge to urinate.

"Clap."

Bean-sized beads of sweat fell from the tip of their noses and dripped on the huge paws of the tauren. They inevitably trembled. No matter whether it is a tauren or a centaur, no matter whether it is an orc or a human, as long as he is a living animal, he cannot Avoid the fear of death, and on the battlefield, the array of galloping knights and death can basically be equated.

At this time, the shortcomings of the tauren's previous tribal style of play seemed to be inevitably revealed, and the tauren at the forefront had an impulse in their hearts: that is to put down their shields, hide behind others, and let others face this damn cavalry.

If it is the tribal legion of the tauren tribe, it may be prone to collapse now. After all, they are facing cavalry with full body armor and holding three or four meter long spears, and cavalry galloping at full speed. Wooden shields are useless.

But the grassroots legion of the Noxus Second Infantry Regiment are human soldiers, and they are human veterans who have fought many times. They have experienced this situation many times, and now it is time to play their usefulness.

A irascible human veteran said: "What kind of soldier is afraid of death? Whoever dares to retreat will be beheaded by me."

Another human veteran who sang a bad face persuaded: "What does the baron give you on weekdays, pure wheat bread, roast leg of lamb, broth, now it's time for us to pay back."

There are also cunning human veterans, "You have to remember, if you retreat, you are deserters. If you become deserters, your family members will also be punished, but now you only need to stand up, even if you die unfortunately, Lord Baron will not forget you Yes, your family will never starve to death."

There are even human veterans of the Buddhist family, "Listen to me, close your eyes and see nothing, just think you are dreaming, if you live, you have earned money."

Human officers either intimidate, or lure, or start with their family members, or start with their military exploits to inspire their ambitions. In short, with the various efforts of human veterans, the front-line tauren stabilized.

The tauren were heartbroken, holding their shields with both hands, and closing their eyes tightly, but their ears were filled with the sound of horseshoes rushing like thunder, as if they were telling their upcoming tragic fate.

Or a few minutes passed, but the tauren seemed to have lived a lifetime, and the expected death did not come. The tauren opened their eyes and found that the knights of the silver fox family were spreading to both sides, just like a rushing stream. A boulder split the stream in two.

The skull-headed flag of Noxus was fluttering in the air, and under the flag was Baron Shire. He was sitting on his horse, standing still, watching coldly the knights of the Silver Fox family fleeing from both sides of the army.
