Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

　　 Chapter 147 Archers

　　 Lorist took the archer squad and spent five days when they were about to reach the lower ferry of the Mitoba River. There was a war. The two lords were facing each other with one to two hundred men.

　　 Well, Lorester admitted that using the word war seemed to exalt these two lords. The correct description should be that what is about to happen is a village-level battle. Take a look at the equipment of the two parties. There are only four or five people riding horses, and they are all peasants and soldiers, not to mention their rags, and most of them are farm tools...

　　 As the neutral party, Lorist was ready to appreciate this group fight, but it was a pity that the two lords didn't seem to pay much attention to the audience's feelings, and they were still scolding for almost an hour.

　　 Lorester is impatient. If you want to fight, you can fight quickly. When you are finished, you will give way. This will occupy the road without fighting. What's the point of cursing? Isn't this occupying the pit and not shit?

　　 "Pat, ask if they still fight, and if they don't fight, let us pass first."

　　 Had it not been for five large carriages full of supplies, Lorist would have taken the archer squad directly across the wilderness instead of taking the road. But there is no way, the supplementary arrows of the archers, the camping supplies and cooking utensils for more than a hundred people, the grain and the oatmeal and horse feed for the mounts, were filled with five carts by Sedkamp, ​​which made Lorist lament. If he and Pat are two people, there is no need to be so troublesome at all, two small luggage bags can be set off by throwing a roll on the horseback. There are so many people and many things. Lorester regrets that he shouldn't agree to Josk. The archers set off together.

This time, the archer squad led by Pete only had ninety-seven people along with him, which did not reach the full number of one hundred and twenty. However, in order to carry the large carriage for supplies, Lorist brought another twenty guards, Lu Er and Mod wanted to follow along, they were ordered by Lorist to take guards in charge of the five carriages.

　　 Pat came back with a look of confusion, "My lord, they want us to stay here obediently, and when they decide the victory or defeat, they will ask us to collect the road tax..." Pat said.

　　 "Huh?" Looking back at the five big carriages, Lorist understood that the two idiot lord in front regarded himself as the guard of the merchant caravan.

　　 "Hey, collect my toll tax?" Lorist smiled.

　　 "Pete, take the archer squad up, and give you a lot of kind to drive them away, oh, grab two and ask them why they are fighting." Lorist said lightly.

　　 "Yes, sir." Pete whistled, and the archer squad lined up in two rows behind him and began to sprint forward.

Seeing an arrow from the battlefield of the two lords, the archers strangled the horse, and then took the longbow hanging next to the saddle, and immediately opened the bow, in response to Pete's "left" and "right" commands. Shoot a round of arrows at the teams of the two lords.

　　 The two lords did not expect to be attacked by Lorist's side at all. How can there be any reason for the commercial team to end the game without watching the excitement? A burst of arrows sent them into chaos, and they wailed...

　　 Pete led the archers to shoot three rounds of arrows, and then a whistle, the archers closed their longbows, drew their long swords, and divided into two teams to rush towards the two lords. Unsurprisingly, the team of the two lords collapsed. When the two lords saw the archers rush to the first one to turn around and fled, their soldiers rushed to the mound and became chaotic.

　　 Pat praised: "Our archers are really powerful. They defeated hundreds of people without hurting one person. No wonder the adults insisted on establishing archers..."

　　 I didn't finish speaking, but when I heard a "plop", he turned his head to see, but it was Lorist who fell from the horse. Pat and the guards were shocked: "My lord, what's wrong with you...?"

　　 Lorist got up from the ground with a sullen face and waved his hand: "It's okay, I didn't step on the stirrups and slipped off the horse..."

"Oh my god! This is an archer?" Lorester only felt 10,000 horses stepping on his heart. The scene he saw just now threw him off his horse. "This is obviously a longbowman on horseback, OK? How did the idiot Josk train the archers..."

Pete brought a few prisoners over: "My lord, please be clear. It is said that there have been many family caravans passing through the ferry here in the past six months. The Viscount Davov set up a checkpoint at the ferry to be soft in collecting taxes. , The two lords here were jealous and wanted to take pictures of cats and tigers. They wanted to set up a road card toll on this section of the road leading to the ferry, but this section of road happened to be on the border of their territory, so they all said that they should set up their own Card. Today is an appointment to decide whether to win or lose here."

　　En, I'm sorry to interrupt the two lords Huashan discussing the sword. To blame, I only blame them for not choosing a good place, which just happened to block the way of Lorist.

"When was the checkpoint of the ferry in front of you set up? How many guards? How powerful?" Lorist asked a captive who looked like a captain, because he was wearing half-length leather armor, which was more pleasing to the prisoners who wore ragged ones. too much.

"A month and a half ago, my lord." The prisoner replied quickly: "The ferry is guarded by a small group of garrison soldiers. They were originally the newly established town garrison team of the Viscount Davov, who were transferred to the ferry to collect money. I really don’t know how it is, but they are well equipped and have several armors..."

　　 Iron armor? Lorist remembered, "Ruhr, Maude, come here a minute." Lorist called.

　　 "Yes, sir, the last time we came here was to rest in the small town next to this ferry, and then the garrison came and arrested us, saying that we were horse thieves..." Ruhr said.

"Pete, take your archer squad to catch all the garrison squad at the ferry, Pat, you take Ruhr and Mor have to recognize them, if they are the garrisons who attacked you, hang them all. Died at the ferry..." Lorister said to Pete and Pat that he was not going to watch the so-called archer's cavalry show again.

　　 "Okay, my lord, let's go now." Pete paused and asked, "Then, my lord, where are these prisoners?"

　　 The prisoners in front of them were trembling. They heard Lorist's order to hang all the guards at the ferry crossing and thought they were going to be in disaster.

　　 "My lord, forgive me..." Several captives knelt in front of Lorister's horse, crying and crying.

　　 "Let's put these, whoever, go to the car to get some trauma medicine and bandages, give them to them, let them put down the pile of injured bandages over there. Let's go." Lorist said.

　　 It was less than five miles from the ferry in front. After Lorist arrived at the ferry with five carriages, he saw dozens of dead bodies lying on the ground, and dozens of prisoners squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. Ruhr and Mord were making wooden frames with some archers.

　　 Lorist saw several archers wrapped in bandages, and asked Pete and Pat who came up: "Why, there are casualties?"

　　 "Six minor injuries, don't get in the way, they will be fine after ten days. The main reason is that some guards are hidden in the house. We were caught unprepared when we went in and searched." Pete replied.

　　 "My lord, we have let the ferry from the other shore come..." Pat said.

　　 Lorist looked around. From here for the first time more than half a year ago, he set foot on the Northland and revisited the old place. Great changes have taken place here. The first is that there are two more ferry boats added to the ferry on the opposite bank. Here, a group of **** boatmen are desperately shaking four large wheel wheels and dragging the four ferry boats from the opposite bank. Well, it seems that the Baron Shura on the other side made a lot of money from the ferry crossing fee and added two more ferry boats.

　　 "When we killed the garrisons just now, all the boatmen jumped into the river, and finally called them back. I promised to give them one imperial silver coin..." Pat said.

　　 Lorist nodded, seeing the boatmen working so hard that this little silver coin was worth it.

　　 The place was deserted last time. It has only been half a year, and a small town has been built on a small mound in the distance. However, this small town is heavily guarded, with crowds of people on the wall, holding knives and grabbing them, pointing at the ferry crossing. Obviously the fight that took place at the ferry just now let the defense team of the small town know that Lorester is an enemy and not a friend. They are now ready to fight like an enemy.

Ruhr and Mord had erected dozens of wooden frames, and they were forced to hang them up with the prisoners. Only a few were hanged. The remaining prisoners saw that they could not escape, and the desire to survive broke out suddenly. They got up and fled in the direction of the small town, but it was a pity that Pete had been prepared for a long time, and ordered the longbowmen on horseback to have a mess of arrows and shot them all into hedgehogs.

Cries and anger came from the walls of the small town in the distance. Lorist was all in the ears, and he was reprimanding Ruhr and Mord: "...How do you say you, stupid, huh? No? Bind them and don’t put them in a place where you can’t see the wooden frame, then take them over and hang them one by one, hang up their companions in front of them, even the pigs will run away! What if they are all dead now? Hang it up for me, dare to rob and kill the messengers passing by. What a courage... Pete, you write down their criminal evidence below to let people passing by know why we hang them!"

　　 "Yes, my lord."

　　 A team of heavily armed guards also appeared at the ferry crossing opposite. The situation at the ferry crossing just now is also in sight. It is understandable to strengthen guard against accidents.

　　 "Pat, you take someone across the river first and tell Baron Shurath that an old friend is here, don't make these nervous, and I will visit him when I pass the river."

　　 "My lord, maybe you should cross the river first," Pat said.

　　 "No need." Lorist pointed to the small town in the distance: "There may be some horrible idea there, I am going to teach them a little lesson."

It took more than three hours for more than a hundred people to bring five large carriages across the river. Lorester was the last one to board the ferry, when only the last wave of seven or eight people were left at the ferry. , Nearly a hundred people rushed out of the small town over there, robbed them with knives, and violently killed them towards the ferry.

Lorister’s spear and the arrows of Pete and the rest of the archers turned the 20 bravest soldiers at the forefront into martyrs with dead bodies, followed by Lorister and Pete’s prancing horses. Like among the crowd, a burst of spears, swords, and slashes, the remaining thirty or so lucky people with great fate and fate escaped back to the small town, closed the door, and seemed to be killed.

　　 "Happy!" Pete said, shaking the blood from the tip of the gun.

　　 "Let's go, the ferry is coming, let's get on the boat." Lorist said.

　　 On the ferry.

"Pete, when I was studying in Morente, I read a book. It recorded that in the Dark Ages, there had been such a group of archers. Everyone could shoot arrows on the back of a galloping horse. Shoot arrows back on the horse, and shoot the enemies you are chasing to death one by one. As long as the enemy they are looking at can't run away. They never assault the enemy head-on, but follow the enemy with horses and harass the enemy with sprinting. Until the enemy is dragged to death and collapsed..."

Lorist is ready to take this opportunity to instill in Pete the correct concept of what an archer is, and to create a Mongolian-style archer: "They gather and disperse freely, out of nowhere, and once confronted one that was stronger than them. There were ten times more enemies than them, but after four months they had achieved a complete victory with very little loss. Every time their enemies were chased by troops, they would always be lured into traps and used to run The method of shooting away from the enemy can wipe out the enemy. The book says that their tactics are called kite-flying tactics, which are to attack the enemy remotely without close combat..."

　　 "My lord, I understand what you mean. What you want to build is such an archer." Pete asked.

　　 Lorist nodded happily, someone finally got the hang of it.

　　 "Unfortunately, we can't do it at all. The archers you mentioned can only exist in legends, but in books, it is impossible in reality." Pete said regretfully.

　　 "Why?" Lorist was surprised.

"My lord, we don't have a suitable bow. In fact, although the bows used by the nobles to hold hunting conferences can shoot arrows on the back of galloping horses, they have a short range and a range of up to 30 to 40 meters. Shooting pheasant and hare is enough. But if it is against the beast or battle, it is of no use. Among all the bows, the longbow has the largest range and power, and it can even be threatening within 100 meters of direct shooting. Golden Knight. Although it is not as powerful as the hunting bow, the hunting bow deals with the beasts and uses heavy arrows. Its range is only half of the longbow."

Pete began to popularize the knowledge of bow and arrow for Lorist: "The longbow is recognized as the fastest and most lethal bow and arrow. It is the main long-range defense and attack force. However, the longbow is not suitable for immediate use, even if it is parked. On the back of a horse, it’s very difficult to exert force and balance. Now this archery team can shoot arrows on horseback. It has taken a lot of effort from Mr. Josk. Among all the people, Mr. Josk can be in a gallop. Shooting arrows continuously on horseback, I can only shoot three arrows at most and I can't keep my balance."

"If you don’t use the longbow, you can’t match the range of the enemy’s longbowmen. If you rush too close, the casualties of the enemy’s longbowmen will be very high. So form an adult archer like the archer you mentioned. The problem to be solved is the bow and arrow that can be used on horseback, and its range and power cannot be less than that of the longbow. Secondly, we don’t have a suitable horse. None of the horses of Galintia can reach the archer mount you mentioned. Request." Pete said the second difficulty.

　　 "......?" Lorist was puzzled.

Pete explained: "My lord, the archer's mount you mentioned must have a strong body and excellent endurance. It also needs to be resilient, good at running long distances, and quick in steps, not only in plains. Sprinting must also be good at running in the mountains, so as to get rid of chasing soldiers. In addition, you must be hardworking, not afraid of cold and heat, strong resistance and not easy to get sick. The most important thing is to have a good appetite, whether it is roughage or refined food, you can eat it and can digest it. , We can’t find such a horse on the Gherinje continent.”

"Is this guy talking about Mongolian horses? The Mongolians are riding Mongolian horses across the Eurasian continent. This Mongolian horse is not a rare horse breed. There is no horse breed like the Mongolian horse in Gailintia. This species is too resourceful. Poor." Lorist was depressed.

Pete made another shot: "My lord, look at our mounts. Compared with other horse breeds, this northern horse has a relatively medium ability. It is also a kind of horse that is very easy to feed, but if you say it for you The mounts of the archers are far from qualified~www.readwn.com~ Three of our five carts this time are filled with oats and fine grains. We are worried that these northern horses will lose weight if they are not available outside. Once the fat is lost and long distances are added, these northern horses are useless.

　　 The archer like you said, if you use Northland horses as mounts, at least one person has to carry seven or eight horses for rotation, and a large amount of fine grain for horse food to maintain the state. Take the example of the archer that you gave. Even if a brigade of two thousand people is in the battle for more than four months, at least 10,000 mounts will be run away. Whether it is a Zenoma or a Barrigalima, they are both horses with excellent long-distance endurance, but their feeding is more delicate and demanding than the Northland horse. "

　　 Well, Pete made a lot of sense. Lorester wanted to form archers, not horse dealers. One person will take care of seven or eight horses, not to mention that they will not be able to take care of them. Someone will come over and ask how much the horses are sold for.

　　 Touched his nose, Lorist felt embarrassed. He wanted to form an archer but didn't even understand the applicable bows and mounts. If it weren't for Pete's explanation, he would have wronged Josk for not doing his best. It’s all to blame for the instructors in the knight training major of Dawn Academy. They say that knights are upright and are the main force of charging and fighting. Using bows and arrows is a cowardly behavior, so that I also ignore the training of bows and arrows. Now I can only use guns to do it. For long-range lethality.

Let’s do this first. When I’m settled down, I’ll find someone to study if I can develop a recurve compound bow. It’s much shorter than the longbow and should be suitable for use on horseback, but I don’t know if the range and lethality are comparable. Bowed.
