The Lion King of Middenland, Warhammer

Chapter 120 The Prelude to the Forest of Arrows and Spears

() The first troops to issue the alarm were the two cavalry squadrons located on the outermost left wing of the marching column. They were about half a league away from the marching column of the main army, and they were arranged in a loose column to be responsible for peripheral security.Most of these riders are Ugol warriors who have experienced many battles. They quickly sensed the unusual vibrations on the ground and saw the snow dust rising far from the horizon. Riding to the distance to investigate, while shooting, conveying the warning message of the approaching war to the entire army.

But these alert soldiers paid the price immediately, and within minutes, a group of carefully selected Chaos Kulgan vanguard sharpshooters engaged the scout cavalry.Arrows shot back and forth like a gust of wind, making sharp screams piercing the air, screams and horses falling one after another.Within two rounds, the dozens of scout rangers who rushed towards the Chaos army were almost wiped out. Only two of the best cavalry were able to escape on horseback covered in arrow wounds and blood, and report to the troops. Army general information.

The remaining semi-cavalry squad quickly retreated to the left wing formation, joining the main cavalry that had already listed the battle formation there.The forwards and rearguards of the army also quickly sent cavalry reinforcements. In a short while, a evacuation line of about [-] cavalry had been deployed on the left flank of this long team, and they did not hesitate to counterattack Kugan's vanguard cavalry. .Military flags and spears were flying above the heads of the riders, and the turbulent hooves of the horses stepped on the loose snow field after the first snowfall, leaving chaotic traces and pervasive snow dust.

"The real battle is finally coming, I can't wait to rush up with them immediately."

Hyde expressed emotion with a voice of dissatisfaction amidst excitement. The young divinely favored man and more than 200 cavalry including Old Loren, Marshall, and Tenen stood on horseback and fought on the small slope slightly higher on the right wing of the army. formation.Under the command of Cicero and others, the infantry and artillery quickly formed a phalanx to build a position, whispering orders and chant one after another, the flashes of spears and the neighing of artillery and horses mixed tensely and orderly Together.

"The opponent is the chaotic Kugan army rampant on the grassland. It is a formidable enemy. It is incomparable to the chaotic beasts we encountered back then. Therefore, we must obey the arrangement of His Excellency the Royal General. Being a reserve team is a greater honor for the warriors. , because many battles are won or lost by our reserve team.”

Old Loren reminded Hyde with a serious voice, his blood-colored armor was shining in the sun, and his face was full of solemn expressions.

According to the command of the regiment headquarters, the army spread out to the left, and the infantry formed three complete phalanxes around the carriages to meet the enemy. The forward, half of the rear cavalry and all the left-wing cavalry immediately launched a test against the Kugan army forward. Xing's counterattack bought time for the infantry's formation, and at the same time roughly tested the enemy's situation.As for the remaining cavalry—of course, including the right-wing cavalry led by Hyde, it was natural to stay as a reserve, which made Hyde a little unhappy.

"Okay, Lord Loren, then let us deliver the final decisive punch. I understand the meaning of the military order."

Hyde raised his banner spear, and answered Old Loren's explanation in a calm voice. Although Hyde was an impulsive person at heart, the fierce battles in the past month had made him mature a lot.

"By the way, where did Catherine go? Before the big battle, she should add magic defense to her comrades!"

Suddenly, Hyde felt something was wrong, he couldn't see Catherine.Wouldn't this delicate cousin play some foolish tricks and rush to the front of the line by herself?The ominous omen made the young god-favored one frown.

"Your Highness Hyde, His Royal Highness Catherine went to the artillery unit of the regiment directly under the command of the regiment captain to enchant the cannons. This is one of the jobs that metal mages are best at. Now the main artillery force of Tubalo is directly under the regiment headquarters. Her Royal Highness Catherine is here It should be like a fish in water there. As for enchanting the knights, it is a time-sensitive job, and it is useless if it is too early."

A gentle voice answered Hyde's question, it was Fleur.She rode her armored horse and ran quickly close to Hyde, her black hair and fiery red hair ribbon fluttering in the wind.Just now, the courier of the captain delivered the order and took Catherine away.It was Fleur who had come to announce the news.

"Okay, I see. Come here, Fleur, now your mission is to stay with us."

Hyde's heart was relieved, he was really worried that the delicate and troublesome Catherine would do something stupid again.A bloody battle is about to begin, and the enemy is the fierce Chaos Legion, who will not show mercy to anyone's willfulness.Catherine was his cousin and his mother's niece. He didn't want any accidents to happen to this restless red-haired girl!

About five or six minutes later, the hundreds of coalition cavalry who launched a counterattack met the chaotic Kugans who spewed out from the distant forest and the horizon like a bee swarm. The sky-shattering shouts and arrows were frantic like rainstorms. People and horses neighed and fell to the ground, and snow fog rose under the horses' hooves.The sword swung, the blood spattered, and the first fierce fight began.

Hyde watched the battle a thousand meters away with a telescope, and his breathing tightened a bit.In a sense, this was the first time this young divinely favored man had seen a real large army field battle, so he paid extra attention to it, hoping to learn something valuable from it.In any case, his essence is just a young man who has just woken up for more than a month, and he is still a primary school student on the mighty battlefield where the army is fighting.

"This is the way the Chaos Kugans fight. Your Highness Hyde, please pay attention to the differences between them and us. Although I have mentioned their strategies and tactics to you, nothing compares to my own experience on the real battlefield. !"

This was the voice of old Loren. He carried the six-foot blood sword across his shoulders, and squinted his brown-gray eyes to remind Hyde.At the same time, the old man's black-armored warhorse paved the snow excitedly and snorted, as if waiting for the moment of bloody battle.This horse is very old, it has experienced too many wars, and it has been idle for a long time. Now that it has returned to this real battlefield, the smoke and shouts make it extremely excited, and it can't wait to rush into the distant enemy line immediately.
