Chapter 245 (1/2)
”Isn’t this a chariot?” Rody narrowed his eyes and looked at the King
At thatinside the round cave
The circular training grounds had a concave appearance It was like an ancient wrestling ring They were standing on a several-ate at the side of the training grounds had slowly opened and a Sauron Ared out That chariot looked like the ones Rody had seen during the last war Two tall horses covered with a thin layer of aresharp blades on both wheels of the carriage When the wheels rolled, the blades would spin rapidly and kill the enee One drove the carriage, the second held a shi+eld and the third held a long battle-axe
”Earl Rodysly proud of himself
Rody looked at the King and whispered, ”The chariot is outstanding, but the weakness is also apparent It th in an open field, but it is not invincible! This flashy chariot tea properleisurely shed ”The first one is the speed of the charge The carriage has three fully ar with arht is a burden for the horses As a result, the speed of the chariot’s charge is slower than a heavy cavalry! If I were the coht bow cavalry Avoid direct assaults and alternately attack while retreating using their speed to hts At the sa faintly said, ”That is different! Your country’s Lightning God’s Whip is the most powerful and naturally takes pride in their own cavalry! However, my chariot is used to deal with the dwarfs! The dwarfs are short and are unsuitable to be cavaliers! In addition, as they are located in the inner sea, they lack horses Even if they have the e numbers on the island That is why your assumptions cannot be applied to the dwarfs!”
Rody frowned and continued, ”Even if the dwarfs do not have excellent cavalries, their infantries will not have a hard ti the chariot if they havewith it”
The King gave an enigmatic smile as looked at Rody
Rody pondered for a moment and whispered, ”If I am the commander, I would order the soldiers to stick to the walls and defend it froive me a well-trained elite infantry and I would still be able to defeat the chariot!” He slowly said, ”The chariot’s power relies on the sprint of the horses! I only need a tea-up fro the horses instead of the soldiers When one of the two horses pulling the chariot, is injured, the chariot will overturn The chariot will be destroyed and the soldiers on it will perish” Rody paused for aan attack, even if you loosen your chariots’ for as the horses of the front chariot are hit, the chariot will lose its power and block the chariots at the back The whole forhed ”I do not need to let the soldiers die in vain The archers will shoot the horses fro the horses, the infantries will rush to the fallen chariot that can only wait to be slaughtered”
The King s clapped his hands A Guardian Knight appeared from the door behind him and i then stepped forward and waved his hand at the chariot below The soldier shouted and swung his whip, initiating the chariot to run quickly on the training grounds
Rody looked at the bow and arrow in his hands and looked startled He then heard the King speak softly, ”Why don’t you try it? Shoot the horse that is pulling the chariot”
Since the King requested hier hesitated and immediately shot an arrow at the horse Rody’s archery was quite good The power and accuracy of his arrow had achieved a certain level Although he did not use any fighting energy, as soon as this arroas shot out, a wind piercing sound was heard The arrow had already pierced the back of the horse The arrow had pierced the horse’s armor and stuck on its back in an askew position
Rody was surprised that the horse he had shot did not whinny in pain It continued to dash forward and ignore the injury in its body
”You can continue to shoot!” The King’s eyes flashed with a trace of unusual brilliance
Rody took a deep breath and took out four sharp arrows from the pouch at once After that, his movements were like the wind as he shot the four arrows successively and all the shots accurately hit the horse
The horse only neighed but did not fall It did not even stagger as it continued to run forward at high speed
”Preposterous!” Rody was surprised When he saw the King’seyes, he quickly took out another sharp arrow
Although Rody’s archery was not as good as Darke's, he had si This time, Rody aimed at the head of the horse The arro out and struck its target Finally, the horse could no longer endure It staggered a few steps forward before it fell
With the fall of one horse, the other horse could no longer pull the chariot The fast-ered as the wheels were lifted on one side Fortunately, the soldier as driving the chariot was prepared and the chariot did not overturn
”How is it?” Although Rody had finally shot down the horse, the King smiled at Rody without any irritation
Rody did not even feel the slightest joy of victory He looked down for a hed He then said, ”I have lost!”
His last arrow had shot the horse in the head During a high-speed charge, it would be difficult even for elite archers to shoot the horse in the head Majority of archers would not have such skill
Ordinary archers could only, at most, hit the body of the horse However, that horse continued to run even after being hit by five arrows
”This kind of horse is weird!” Rody thought ”If an ordinary arroup of chariots, the chariots will have long reached them even before the archers can shoot down the horses”
The King nodded as he looked at Sith, who gave a faint smile then said, ”This kind of horse is different from the ordinary battle horse! Our sorcerers prepared a peculiar drug This drug isperiods of ti ability to resist attacks and can continue running even when they are struck by several arrows The only drawback is that these specially bred horses can only live up to two years We have already tested itfor a , ”These special battle horses are really powerful Perhaps only these battle horses could maximize the power of the chariots However, even if the archers are unable to take down the chariots, there are still other ways”
Rody opened his eyes and looked at the drilling ground below He then waved his hand and loudly said, ”If a troop of high morale heavy infantry displays a dense battle formation and at the same time, the front row soldiers have the deter to die, then with the front row infantries holding shi+elds while the row of soldiers behind theth, they can confront the charge of the chariots Even if the chariots are able to break through the shi+eld wall and the horses are not afraid of weapons, it does not mean that they cannot die The spears can killas the soldiers at the front are prepared to be killed or wounded, the chariots’ assault can be resisted!” Rody then slowly said, ”As long as the chariots in front are blocked, the chariots at the back will not be able to proceed Without the ability to charge, the chariots are just as useful as rotten wood”
”Well trained, highmuttered He suddenly looked at Rody and sht exist in your country…but are there such army on the Roland Continent?”
