Chapter 71 69. Knights Training

The iron armor reflected the cold light, the horses' hooves trampled the mud, white smoke spread in the sun, and a hundred knights galloped and charged on the plain.

For the dozens of knights who have just transitioned from the miners' state, Lant does not expect them to return to their previous level as soon as they get on the horse. He can only say that they are getting a feel for it while training.

In order to promote the training effect, Lant rode Fire and led the team in person. With Fire in front, all the black scale horses will be more obedient.

Fortunately, the knights, as demon possessors, have undergone rigorous training since childhood, and can indeed quickly regain many of their skills.

In the afternoon after Lant finished his speech, the knights were assigned horses, armor and weapons. In the afternoon, they could only get on the horses for riding adaptation training. After all, black-scaled horses are considered rare in the human interior, and most of the knights had previously ridden war horses.

Not up to the level of a black-scaled horse.

For most of the training knights, the first afternoon of black scale horse riding training was not smooth, except for a few intermediate knights who were able to control the horses quickly with their strength; Mace Frostwolf was assigned a horse by Neil.

The black scale horse trained by Neil, ride on it

After that, the horses were quite obedient. Most of the other junior knights and knight apprentices could only ensure that they would not be thrown off after getting on the horses. Of course, there were a few who were kicked off by the black-scaled horses under their crotches, and some even did not chase the horses at all.

He ran several hundred meters.

In the end, Lant came riding the blazing fire. Under the deterrence of the blazing fire, all the black-scaled horses obeyed, and the knights finally got on their horses and were able to form a team and run together for several kilometers.

After the adaptive training, most of the knights in the salt mine chose to comb, wipe and feed the horses themselves to get close to their horses to make future riding smoother.

On the second day, Lant knew that he had to train with the knights throughout the whole process, and after yesterday afternoon, the knights also roughly figured out the temperament of the black partners under him, so the entire training has been greatly improved, not only the overall

Already lined up, several intermediate knights can already lead their own teams to conduct formation training alone.

Lant handed Roel to his side, "What do you think of our knights?"

"Very good. As far as I know, there are only a few dukes in our Dragon Kingdom who can form a knighthood with 100 black scale horses and iron armor." Rohr was very satisfied with the team in front of him.

"Those who are earls and marquises, do they have high-level knights or magisters at home?"

"That's natural. For a knighthood of 50 people, the leader usually needs a senior knight; if there are more than 50 people, a leader of a senior knight or above is needed; if there are 100 people, a silver knight or above is needed as the leader. We are now a hundred-man team.

At least there should be a great knight."

Powerful knights not only add high-end combat power to the knights, but also enable high-level knights to connect their fighting spirit to the magic network and use the magic network to mobilize the fighting spirit of the entire knights, thereby forming the entire knights into a whole.

Knights led by senior knights or above will have 1-2 group skills, which condense the fighting spirit of the entire knights into a lethal move or defensive cover. The power of group skills far exceeds that of high-level knights.

The maximum power exerted can even stir and shatter the magic elements in the air, causing the magic effects of middle and low-level magicians to be dispersed.

"However, the group skills of the Knights cannot be used on our Galloping Horse Plains. The magic turbulence on the entire plain makes it impossible for the group skills and the power of high-level mages, knights, and priests to be used. On the Galloping Horse Plains,

The competition of strength depends on the number of cavalry and knights.

This situation continues from the Galloping Horse Plains to the west of the Maned Wolf City in the Northwest County."

Rant understood what Rolle meant. In an environment with turbulent magic, the number and equipment of the knights are the greatest guarantee of combat effectiveness. Rant's knights are well equipped, have good horses, and have many people. 200 people gathered together to join the maned wolf knights.

The team also has to concede three points.

But what Rant has to face is the barbarian cavalry team assembled by the Gray Goose tribe. Their number is equal to the total number of his own cavalry. Although Rant claims that only the remnants of the Gray Goose tribe are left, Rant himself knows that the remaining Gray Goose tribe

Those who descended were the elites of all the tribes south of the Benma River.

With the same number of people and similar equipment, the only advantage he can claim now is the overall buff brought by Agni Fire to his entire horse herd.

"Our current knights still don't have an absolute advantage against the main force of Gray Goose. We need to find a reserve team of 150 people from the current Demon Holders."

"150 people?"

"Yes, we might be able to get some black-scaled horses on our way south. Let them practice with pack animals first, and let them replace them with black-scaled horses once they become available."

Lant's request was implemented on the same day, and the barbarians from the original Bull tribe selected 50 pack animals that could be used for riding and 150 pack animals that were suitable for carrying heavy loads.

On the morning of the third day of training, Lant used the early morning time to conduct the last formation joint training. The main content of the joint training was that the three main teams of the Knights charged head-on, and the two cavalry teams acted as two wings to outflank. The night before

150 temporarily selected demon-wielders rode on pack animals and followed the frontal charging team together with the Knights' reserve squadron.

The main task of Neil's reconnaissance team is to go around the rear of the target area to intercept the opponent's personnel who may be escaping.

Neil and his confidant Da Shitou looked at the hillside in the distance. After more than 70 knights from the main squadron rushed down, the 180 reserve troops slowly following behind them reached the halfway point of the mountain.

Within the first 100-200 meters of the charge, the reserve team and the main squadron basically formed a whole square formation. However, as the charge time became longer, the black-scaled horses and beasts of burden increased their speed, forming a complete square formation.

Gradually it turned into two square formations, and then the main squadron riding the black-scaled horses moved closer and closer to the front. After another 500 meters forward, the front square formation was 200 meters away from the reserve team behind.

.

"Brother, isn't this a frontal charging phalanx? Why did it become two teams?"

"There is nothing we can do. The speed between the black scale horse and the beast of burden is so great. Even the beast of burden raised by the Bull Tribe cannot keep up with the black scale horse."

"Can this team of 75 cavalrymen face Gray Goose's more than 200 cavalrymen head-on?"

"This is not a decisive battle with the Gray Goose," Neil said categorically. "The training we are doing now is just for formation coordination between several squadrons, and it is impossible to really let more than 70 cavalry attack a team of 200 people.

When it comes to the real decisive battle, all of us riding black scale horses will go up together, we have the advantage in terms of numbers."

"Oh, that's it," Dashiru said thoughtfully.

Although he expressed his belief in victory to his cronies, Neil knew that even if there were 3 knight squadrons, 2 cavalry squadrons, Neil, and Greyhound's teams combined, they would only be equivalent to Gray Goose's current main force.

, there is no guarantee of victory, and the real victory may require a duel between Lant and the Gray Goose leader.

After the first joint training, Lant and Rohr also discovered problems during the joint training. The distance between the main force and the reserve phalanx was too large, the cavalry on both wings did not cooperate well with the main phalanx, and it was necessary to set up messenger cavalry in several positions.

Coordinate among teams.

So Lant conducted joint training again. In the second joint training, the main knight squadron, two cavalry teams, and the reconnaissance team formed a unified square formation with more than 200 riders, 40 riders in the front, and a total of 5 rows jogging first, then running fast, and finally

Charged forward for about 500 meters.

After the second round of joint training, Lant finally felt that it was a bit like the cavalry charge in the game in the previous life, but the formations were similar. It was already very difficult to keep multiple people moving at the same speed while riding on the horse. If there was no fire to carry out the whole group of horses,

Coordination, it is impossible to charge after just two days of practice.

However, Lant has no time now. Whether it is due to weather or food reasons, he needs to go south as soon as possible. He can only train while moving forward.
