Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 370 Prairie (4)

"Go home!" Everyone cheered.After leaving Thor fortress for nine days, everyone finally stepped into the area of ​​Fernando City. The ground underfoot gradually lost the grass. Instead, it was dark ground. A road leads straight to the distance. As long as you walk along this road for another day, Can see the walls of the imperial capital.

In these nine days, the orcs launched at least six pursuits, but each time the number of people did not exceed 8,000, a total of less than 40,000.The human army is not counted as the more than 20,000 retinues, the infantry and cavalry alone are almost the same number. Every time they wait for work, they line up square formations to meet the orcs chasing troops with their superior forces. The victory is easy, and there are almost no casualties, and Human fighters used these few battles to increase their combat effectiveness, and an elite force gradually took shape.

Jonas’s heart was ups and downs. He did not expect that he would have a day to command as much as he wanted. There was no suppression from above, and there was no need to think about too many things outside the battlefield. He just needed to put all his mind on the military, lay out, meet, Interspersed, combined attack, annihilated... Although this newly reorganized army is nominally the defeated army of Thor Fortress, Jonas knows that this is the most cohesive and combat effective army he has brought since his army.

All of this originated from the young little magician. It was this magician named Ryan that allowed these defeated soldiers and civilians to escape and avoid being slaughtered by the orcs. On the way, Ryan did not make any more moves. But he has been riding on a horse, wandering behind the human phalanx, giving these human soldiers the greatest spiritual support.

"Ryan, we are going home." Jonas couldn't help but said, "I don't know what Orlando General will do with us."

Ryan smiled in his heart. He had already guessed what Jonas meant by what he said. Whether it was Farath or Ryan himself, they had an extraordinary relationship with Orlando. Now Thor Fortress has fallen, and both Keenster and Clark are killed. If a new army is formed by the defeated soldiers of Thor Fortress, Jonas will be at the forefront in terms of qualifications and military exploits.

"It's too early to think about this." Ryan is unwilling to get involved. Besides, he has no position in the army at all. Even if he becomes the spiritual leader of this army of defeated soldiers, his official status is still The head of the hired mercenary regiment really belonged to him under the command of Elendo and Flanner. Even Falas, in theory, belongs to the reinforcement sequence.

Jonas was a little disappointed. Of course, he also knew that Ryan could not promise him. From Ryan to Thor Fortress, he just stood quietly on the side. When he was needed, Ryan would appear at the key. The local area plays a key role, and once the crisis disappears, Ryan will silently step aside and never participate in the military affairs. Ryan never said much even when participating in military meetings.

Colin and Thomas rode behind them on a horse. The two of them would fight non-stop when they met, but since they became officers of the army commander-in-chief of Ryan, the two of them have experienced life and death together. Seeing that the other party is not pleasing to the eye, on the contrary, the relationship is getting better and better. It has become a life and death friend to rescue each other several times.

"Hey, what are your plans to go back this time?" Colin suddenly asked Thomas in a low voice.

"If you have something to say, Colin. Don't hesitate like this."

"Haha, Thomas, you know, according to the order of General Clark, we were drawn out and became the subordinates of the head, but when we return to the imperial capital, the new chief may not continue this order, and also from leaving the Thor Fortress to the present , The head hardly cares about us, in case..."

"Are you a child who hasn't grown up? Do you want to take care of you day after day?" Thomas gave Colin a blank look, and then said with a worried expression: "But, Yitou's character is probably not going to join the army. Hmm. , I’m not saying bad things about Tou. Most people like Tou don’t like being too restrained."

"Yeah, what should we do? Let's separate from the head? Honestly, I would rather follow the head to take risks and be a mercenary. If it were not the head this time, I guess it would be nice if one tenth of these people could come back. It’s done. And as long as you follow your head, you don’t have to be afraid of a loss. If you are reassigned to some idiot general, you won’t have such good luck next time."

When Thomas was about to speak, there was a slight vibration from the distant earth. Thomas was startled. He looked in the direction of the vibration. Although it was already afternoon, the sun was still hot. I can't see clearly the situation in the west.

The entire convoy came to a halt without any orders. The civilians drove the carriages together in an orderly manner. They were connected end to end. All the civilians hid in the circle of carriages and used shields and wooden boards as much as possible. Wait to cover your body.

The soldiers, under the order of General Jonas, formed three phalanxes, respectively shielding the three directions of the convoy, leaving only the east side opposite to the vibration.Those 10,000 cavalrymen also formed a dense formation, ready to go into battle at any time.

Ten minutes later, a cavalry unit appeared in front of everyone. The horses were all men dressed as herdsmen. They had short bows on their backs and cutlasses on their waists. It was obvious from the outside. A fighter of the Clay clan.

Ryan and Jonas glanced at each other. During this nine-day trip, no Clay people could be seen along the way. The only camp was abandoned for a long time, and nothing was left, if not that night. When they fled, they brought a lot of food, and the whole team might have to spare precious time to find food.

"Who are you?" Suddenly someone in the Clay cavalry team shouted loudly: "Where do you come from? Where do you go?"

Jonas felt relieved. He looked back and greeted him. One of his guards immediately greeted him with a horse, and ran and shouted: "We are the army of Thor Fortress. Are you Clay fighters?"

The cavalry of the Clay clan kept moving at a fast speed, even if they were talking to Jonas’s guard immediately, they did not slow down at all.When the cavalry came to a distance of about 300 meters from Jonas, the leading warrior suddenly pulled out the short bow on his back and shot a feather arrow.

"Ah!" The Jonas' guard did not watch out, was hit by an arrow, turned over and fell."Enemy attack!" Jonas immediately shouted: "All are ready to fight, sword and shield warriors, raise shields! Cavalry, prepare..." Before the words fell, seven or eight feather arrows flew towards Jonas.

Ryan jumped vigorously, rushed towards Jonas from his horse, and slammed Jonas to the ground.Several of the seven or eight feather arrows hit the horse, and two hit Ryan's back.

"Ah, head!" Colin and Thomas were shocked, and quickly jumped off their horses, using the war horse as a cover, and quickly ran in the direction where Ryan landed.

"Don't move around, hide your body!" After falling to the ground, Ryan got up and rolled up. His body was covered by a thick layer of stone skin, and the two feather arrows did not shoot in at all. Bounced off.

"Ah, head, you scared us." Thomas and Colin immediately stopped, using their horses to block the sky of feather arrows.Jonas got up from the ground embarrassedly. If it weren't for Ryan, he would have died."The cavalry charge, rush away from them!" Jonas gave the order angrily.

Under the leadership of the commander, the ten thousand cavalry who received the order urged the horses to start the sprint.However, as a cavalry, if you want to attack the opponent's position, you must have a long enough running distance and time, otherwise it will not have much effect at all.The cavalry of the Clay clan always kept a distance of about 300 meters from the army of Thor Fortress, which was also the maximum range of the short bow they used.

As soon as the Cavalry of the Thor Fortress started, the Cavalry of the Clay clan scrambled away. No matter how the Cavalry of the Thor Fortress charged, the horses they always controlled kept a distance of 300 meters. The Cavalry of the Thor Fortress had no protection at all. The feather arrows fired by the Clay cavalry could not be blocked, and the casualties rose straight.

"Damn it!" Jonas had already entered the infantry phalanx under the protection of his personal guards, and his safety was guaranteed.But seeing that the knight on his side suffered a great loss, he couldn't help but cursed: "These bastards actually attacked us perfidiously!" After cursing a few words, Jonas turned his head and said to his opponent: "Send a signal to let them come back."

After receiving the order, the cavalry troops of Thor Fortress had no choice but to return, while the cavalry of the Clay tribe hunted down and killed more than 1,000 cavalry.When the cavalry of Thor Fortress entered the infantry phalanx and was protected by the infantry shield, 10,000 had already lost more than 4,000.

The cavalry of the Clay clan was originally the leader of the light cavalry. There was almost no defense on them, but the horses under the hips were excellent and good at maneuvering operations, and every soldier had been riding on horseback since he was a child.These Clay archers saw the Thor Fortress army huddled together, and laughed mockingly. They surrounded the outside and fired arrows. The 5000 Clay archers actually surrounded the Thor Fortress with more than 40,000. warrior.

Fortunately, there are still more than 20,000 followers on the Thor Fortress. They are not very good at fighting, but they are very proficient in defense. Under Jonas’s orders, these 20,000 people are held in groups of two. The shield shielded the feathers and arrows. Of course, due to the hastily evacuated at that time, many equipments were not carried, and many of them simply removed the carriage plates, but this method worked very well. The Clay cavalry was shooting After two bags of feather arrows, Zongma left with a roar.
