Vol 5 Chapter 5: Stationed (on)

Just like the beginning without any warning, no one noticed when this sudden fight ended.
Everything was silently drowned in the grass under the rolling smoke and iron ride.
In the light of the setting sun, one banner after another was waving on the battlefield, and the sound of fighting and roaring gradually faded; the grass beneath the ground was full of fallen dead bodies, broken swords and flags.
As Loren thought at the beginning-deliberately placing the Centaur within two hundred steps was not overly vain for the Bayern knights, but to wipe out the enemy without keeping alive.
The advantages of the Bayern Cavaliers are their breakthrough and explosive power. A perfect charge can even defeat the heavy infantry phalanx; but relatively, the long-distance attack and agility are much inferior.
In this unobstructed great plain, once the centaur uses their agility to harass again and again without siege, in addition to holding the ground and advancing step by step, there is actually not much choice.
Therefore, Tris Eckert decisively dispersed the front to attract the enemy, placed the attacked enemy within two hundred steps, and defeated them with the advantage of the Bayern Knight's charge; then the Rangers were responsible for sweeping the enemies, and one remained.
This is not a "chivalry spirit", it is based on the calm judgment of the situation in front of the experience, and the absolute confidence in the strength of the Bayern knight.
Even if the charge is scattered, the enemy can be completely defeated in just one round.
The scorching sun sags under the cloudless clear sky, and the expansive grasslands are stained with blood like bright red.
The heavy knights of Byrne have begun to return to the team, leaving only the Rangers who are on the lookout to clean the battlefield, and by the way send the dying centaurs to meet their ancestors.
On the other side, somehow, from wherever they appeared, the Poe Husbands holding the flag of the Varna family, after resolving the remnants of the escaped Centaur, came to join the Bayern headquarters.
They wore very uniform leather armor and smocks. Under the leather armor was a very simple and thin chain mail armor. They held a short gun in their right hand. A scimitar and four or five throwing guns were hanging on the saddle.
And the flag-cavalry and several hussars who walked in the front, dressed as officers, had a horn bow and a pot of arrows on the left side of the saddle; the armor was also significantly better, with more protection Shoulder and big cloak.
Compared with the armored Bain knights who wished that the war horses were also heavily armoured, these Boye hussars were obviously more suitable for fighting on the prairie; their war horses, although slightly shorter, were also shorter than Baine. Warhorse is more flexible.
After entering the battlefield, these hussars did not venture into the center of the battlefield, or the charge of the Bayern knights; instead, they wandered on the fringe of the melee and continued to shoot and kill half of the singles with throwing guns and bows. Centaur.
It wasn't until the main force of the Centaur was completely defeated that they finally pulled out sabers and short spears and joined the Rangers in battle from all directions. The scattered array was like a gust of wind, and quickly cleared the battlefield.
If it were not for the presence of them, this raid might not be so fast, and ended before the evening.
But these are not the issues that Loren is most concerned about.
Loren narrowed his eyes with a sigh of relief, strangled by the reins; just a short distance, the blood-stained Earl of Bosival was confronting the flag-hugging cavalry, looking at each other with cold eyes.
"what happened?"
"That ... seems to be the side branch of the Varna family, the earl of the Braha family, Earl Seth." Eckert stepped forward and sighed softly: "It is also the uncle and brother-in-law of the Earl of Bossival."
"Uncle and ... brother-in-law?" Loren looked confused.
"The process is very complicated, but ... roughly it is Earl Bossier and Sister's sister who elope; later, while he was away, Earl Seth also pleased the elders of Wang Wangfeng and married the sister of Bossier. "
Eckert shook his head helplessly: "Since then, the two of them have become each other's uncle and brother-in-law."
"But you don't need to worry about it, the Duke, these two are very afraid of their sister ... so it won't affect our relationship with Boe because of this private relationship."
"..." Loren Turin.
Loren, who resisted the urge to roll his eyes, but did not want to interfere with the vassals' "housework", stopped here and turned the subject aside:
"This Earl of Seth, does he have a high position in the Principality of Poe?"
"He is the confidant of Archduke Varna, and is the little Boye Lord who most supports the re-election of the Varna family." Eckert nodded slightly, and he heard what Loren said:
"So, it's really strange that he appeared here-if the situation really crises as described by the Archduke Varna, the count should appear on the battlefield, not the border between Poe and Byrne."
"And the Centaur who just raided us ..." Loren frowned slightly: "They seemed to expect someone to appear here, but they didn't expect it to be us."
"Or not a patrol of more than a thousand men, but a fully-organized legion." Earl Eckett said in a deep voice, his distracted glance towards the leader of the hussar who was about to draw a sword with Bosival:
"I guess ... Count Seth Braha must have the answer you want to know, Duke."
Loren nodded: "Let the soldiers camp first, we have time to chat with these Boyi" good brothers "about the war."
He always had a hunch, whether it was the Sky Dome or the Grand Duke of Varna ... they didn't tell the truth about the war.
And ... and Fanesis; if he really came east, would this war be inseparable from him?
If it is true, then besides Centaur, will he face thousands of mutant monsters like Ebden or Boundary Mountain again; and he is "summoned" by him , The falling evil god?
The battle of Ebden was enough to explain the problem-in the face of the evil god, even if it was just a "body", the number of troops without a dragon was meaningless and could only be ravaged by one side.
Looking back slowly, Loren watched the distance gradually clear up the battlefield, leaving only successive corpses and blood that had soaked the grass.
The cold bones, the dried blood plasma ... there are centaurs, Poi, and Baien.
Or it ’s complete, it ’s incomplete, or there is only a
beach
that ca n’t see the shape ...
This Centaur War has just begun.
..................................................................
It wasn't until night that the soldiers finally relaxed their vigilance and started to camp.
Compared with the Sacran people, the Bayern camps are much "easier"; there are no temporary wooden wall fences and sentry towers (on the grassland, this kind of thing cannot be built), and Lisan cannot be seen. The outer three layers are filled with sharp wooden piles and pitted horse pits.
The entire camp was formed in a circle with a trolley, and then a long trench was dug along the edge of the camp. The soldiers' tents were surrounded by campfires and arranged in a neat chessboard shape-even these ~ www .EbookFREE.me ~ only appeared after being influenced by the Sacran.
This made Loren, who had visited the Boundary Hill and saw the Sackland Legion camp, frown for a while; although Baine ’s army was also called strict discipline, it was obviously not as rigorous as the Empire.
But this is all going on.
Although the camp is very simple, and there is not much logistics for the long distance, the knights of Byrne still warmly welcomed the brothers of Poe;
But these brave hussars were even more enthusiastic than the Bayerns, and did not regard the other as an outsider at all. Even if the two parties are only meeting for the first time, they are close to each other like a family;
In such a lively atmosphere, Loren met Bossivar's "brother-in-law and brother-in-law", Earl Seth Braha, a close friend of Archduke Varna.
The Earl of Seth was even more "extravagant" and more informal than his men, rushed into the camp without waiting for the summoning, and stood in front of Loren and asked:
"Duke Byrne, how many people have you brought here this time?"
