Chapter 57 Scouts
The wilderness covered by heavy snow is still silent like death, and the cold snow demon is still dominating the earth.
There are two orc tribes camping nearby. However, before the war started, the two armies could only stay in the camp and confront each other across the wasteland, without any intention of standing guard outside and being frozen.
Just today, there was finally a little different movement on this quiet snow field. The guards in the dog-headed tribe who were in charge of surveillance saw from a distance that under the snow-white background, there were a few strange colors approaching from the left side of the camp.
The dog-headed people hurriedly opened their eyes wide and looked at the movement. The shadows on the snow were getting closer and closer. When they reached a distance, the dog-headed people could see clearly that these brave guys were actually several lonely centaurs.
The guards hurriedly reported the situation. Soon, the head of the dog-headed tribe leader received the news, and then, one after another, the guards passed their own news. The head of the dog-headed tribe leader discovered that the centaurs near the camp were not coming alone. At this time, there were centaurs with the same bad intentions approaching the camp, and their tribe was surrounded by a centaur army.
The leader of the dog-killer tribe was shocked. The centaur tribe surrounded him? When did he provoke the centaur tribe? This is not a good thing. You should know that in this wasteland, compared with orcs like the dog-killer and the cat-man, the centaur has strong combat power. What's worse for this dog-killer tribe is that the combat power of the centaur tribe may not be terrible. What's terrible is that the powerful mobility and pursuit ability of the centaur tribe are the enemy of all weak races.
The leader of the dog-headed tribe did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so Shang quickly ordered the elite troops of his clan to prepare for a consolidation of troops. Although the centaurs only arrived and the large army did not know where they were, it was always good to be careful and dealt with them. If they were ready, wouldn’t they still be able to escape? Although the leader of the dog-headed tribe escaped under the centaurs with the strength of the dog-headed people, the leader of the dog-headed tribe himself was not optimistic, but this is not, the enemy's brigade has not arrived yet.
So, the camp was in a mess, and the dog-headed people went out to greet them. After a while, two 15 rows of thirty people stood in front of the camp. The dog-headed people of this tribe seemed to be learning Boers in war, and they were a bit decent.
Until the dog-headed people array was completed, Zhang Quan's brigade had not arrived yet.
The nine hundred kowtowed soldiers looked a bit disparate when facing dozens of centaurs.
But even so, the scouts of the Base Mountain Tribe surrounding the Kobiao Camp did not retreat, but instead felt eager to try.
Three or five of them gradually gathered together, slowly forming a large group, jogging slowly around the formation of the dog-headed people. Although there were not many people, they were full of courage, just like vultures on the wasteland who were eyeing the prey that had not fallen.
Dada, dada, sparse horse hooves fell on the ground, splashing snowflakes...
...
Scout Squad leader Thor is a young centaur. He has a stubborn and aggressive personality. He is one of the rare aliens in the centaur tribe. When he was a child, he dreamed of going to the battlefield, fighting against the high-ranking orcs Tiger and Ryan, and becoming a great hero on the wasteland. However, as a tribe in a small centaur tribe with only more than a hundred people, he could only go with the flow with the tribe, so it was difficult for him to have this opportunity.
But since the tribe came west to join the base mountain tribe, his chance finally came. Because he liked to exercise martial arts, his physique was stronger than other tribes. He was given priority as a scout and became an elite group of tribe station soldiers.
Thor trained harder and mastered various combat skills. Although he didn't understand why he had a strange name like a scout, it did not prevent him from quickly standing out from most of the scouts of the same clan and being promoted to the captain of the scouts.
A small team of scouts was organized into ten people and was divided into two groups. All scouts were under the jurisdiction of Bergkenya, which was the eyes of the army of the base mountain tribe.
Before the army could catch the enemy, the battle of the scouts had already begun. Thor took his team to remove the helmet arm guards, the upper body armor and fish scale armor for cavalry from the camel beasts accompanying the team, and helped each other to get equipment on them, check the assembled hunting bows and arrows. After a while, after completing the arming, he approached the enemy for surveillance.
He was very upset that he had not seen the enemy's scout. He originally wanted to lead his subordinates to fight for a while and earn a first prize?
...
At this time, the big tent of the Cat Human Legion’s limestone department.
"Class leader! Here comes! The reinforcements from the base mountain tribe are here!" Carters' subordinates burst into the tent in shock.
"Is it a person from the Base Mountain Tribe?" Carters Limestone asked.
"Yes, it must be! I saw with my own eyes what Lainsi and the others brought to me,"
After listening to his subordinate's answer, Carters felt relieved. The situation around him is very dangerous now, and he doesn't want to be inexplicably capsized in the gutter.
He ordered his subordinates to gather with him, and then took his subordinates to come out of the camp. Before he could reach the gate, he saw several guards of his own house rolling in and shouting at him:
"Class leader! Class leader, this is wrong! Why are the friendly troops on this base mountain surrounded our camp?"
Carters' heart sank, and he hurried out of the gate step by step. When he saw that it was not, the centaur cavalry running back and forth from a distance rushed by iron hooves, but it was not exactly the case that even the camp gate of his own house was sealed.
Behind this group of centaur cavalry, there were more centaurs in endless arrays, each covered with armor, not even his face, and his body was shining with silver light, rumbling and rumbling from afar with thunder.
Carters and the cats behind him looked at the mighty, their faces turned green.
...
Thor and the others have already started attacking.
His men had gathered three squads, thirty centaurs, and Thor felt that he could rush to the army of the dog-headed people. Before the brigade arrived, he would kill the enemy's spirit first. This was also the responsibility of the so-called scouts that Thor himself found. He convinced his companions.
"We are the strongest, extremely powerful," he said to his companions, "Look at the dog-headed people on the opposite side, look at their weapons and armor, look at their eyes, they are afraid, because of our strength!
"We have the strongest weapon, we wear the strongest armor, the bows and arrows we shoot are extremely sharp and can penetrate any enemy. We don't need our army at all, we can take them down with just one charge!"
He looked at his companions, and his expressions began to be excited. His swollen necks swelled up and he looked at the enemy opposite him fiercely.
"Follow me, come on! Charge together! Use victory to verify our bravery!"
After shouting, he turned around and rushed towards the enemy first.
The most elite centaur cavalrymen of these Base Mountain Tribes followed him, lined up in a tight charge array, and rushed towards the Dogheads' army.
On the opposite side, the dog-headed people were stunned. With such a huge difference of 900 to 30, even if the tiger and lions came, they would not dare to be so brave! Before the large and powerful side began to attack, this small group of centaurs rushed up.
The dog-headed people had to defend on the spot. They charged forward, but they were not as fast as the centaurs and had no decent long weapons. They could only hold the pitiful short soldiers in their hands, and stood in a tight formation to resist the impact of the centaurs. Unexpectedly, these shrewd centaurs seemed to be rushing over. They suddenly turned around and the entire team was swept by the dog-headed people.
Although the enemy's phalanx doesn't look very good, it is impossible to stop the charge of the centaurs wearing iron armor. However, the scout is the most precious army in our army. Each of them is a warrior from a hundred miles away. You must never fight head-on battles with the enemy! Remember Thor's teachings to Zhang Quan clearly.
The centaurs led by Thor rushed past the dog-headed formation at high speed, bringing a strong wind to sandwich the snow and ice all over the sky. Then, at the moment of turning, the centaurs and cavalry whistled together, and dozens of centaurs raised their hunting bows in their hands and shot a fatal arrow...
Riding and shooting!
Unlike humans who need to maintain the dispersed power when riding a horse, the shape of a centaur is the lower body and the upper body. The ability to control their center of gravity and movements while running is their instinct and is accurately controlled by the subconscious mind of the body's cerebellum at any time. While their lower bodies are making such rapid turns, their upper bodies can also be meticulous and capture the moment the body pauses at the top of the arc to shoot an accurate arrow.
Zhang Quan specially prepared the best equipment he could buy for his precious scouts. He was sold in the international market of the Earth. The initial velocity of the arrows he shot was as good as a pistol bullet. With a high specific gravity tungsten alloy arrow of hundreds of dollars each, it was powerful enough to shoot an elephant.
This top-quality modern weapon has an amazing effect in the hands of centaurs. The riding and shooting of centaurs is no longer just riding and shooting, this is the real "unity of man and horse"!
