Chapter 159: Forest Ambush [Dabro]
Even though Dabro did not intend to rush to the front, as the commander, he still had to check his actions before the war began.
Originally, when the militia were resting, they relaxed on the spot according to the formation he had preset - with just a command from him, everyone quickly entered the battle state.
Not only human preparations... other aspects of preparations have been made long ago. Dabro moved his fat body and came to the side of the road - he saw the short-faced wolf rushing towards this side with the small cavalry team.
Judging from the expression on the short-faced wolf's face, this action was quite successful.
Of course, everything that hindered the run, including Dabro's armor, was thrown in place.
After confirming that the plan went smoothly, Dabro turned around and left the road - this place was more dangerous.
After being provoked, the Eastern Army on the bridgehead was furious and wished to go out to fight and chop off the more than 60 people immediately; however, it was absolutely impossible to open the floodgate without authorization. Earl Miren suppressed his anger and asked Baker whether he should attack;
Baker heard that the enemy trampled on the honor of the Phoenix family so much - he actually compared the Eastern Army that could not be held out to a hen that was still stumbling. Even Baker, who was not very emotional, was so angry;
He ordered Mirren to destroy the cavalry immediately - there were no enemy camps nearby, so the bridgehead would not be worried about being attacked;
Earl Miren felt something was strange when he was angry - these people might have other purposes;
To be on the safe side, he did not attack himself, but ordered a baron garrison at the bridgehead to lead the 300 light cavalry in the fort to pursue - five times the strength was enough to deal with the more than 60 provocative cavalry; Earl Miren deliberately asked the baron to be more cautious and pay attention to the abnormal situation.
However, the cavalrymen who were drinking wine and chewing barbecue threw down their things at the moment when the gate opened, even abandoned their armor and rode on horses and ran away - making people wonder if they had really drunk wine.
Of course, the drunk man would not react so quickly. In fact, the jars contain clear water.
If they were allowed to leave like this, how could the face of the White House in Dongjing be there?
The baron became angry and chased after him with his cavalry. As a result, the more than 60 people ran very fast, but they couldn't catch up for a while, and even plunged into the forest;
Although the Baron remembered the advice of Earl Mirren, he was a man from the East and the East and turned back when he saw the forest. What kind of courage is it?
So the three hundred light cavalry continued to chase after them.
What waiting for them in the forest was a trap set by Dabro.
Dabro did not lie with the soldiers next to the road—he felt that he needed to stay in a safe place, and he could not take the lead in charge anyway; the White Ape Guard was beside him.
The white ape is more capable of fighting among these more than 500 people; and his voice is not small, so it is more appropriate to use it to pass the order.
The three hundred light cavalry were at a certain distance from the short-faced wolf and the others. After the short-faced wolf led the more than sixty people through the ambush area, he pulled his horse and turned around to face the three hundred light cavalry - they had no weapons on their hands.
The Eastern Army thought they were ready to surrender, so they continued to move forward; however...
"Bee." Dabro spitted out a word, and it was really a bit laborious to shout - the effect was not good.
"Bee--!" The white ape faithfully completed the messaging work.
The light cavalry obviously heard the shout; however, they did not know what it meant, but just slowed down and looked around.
However, the militia in disguise knew.
Bow, pull arrows, release;
This is much more lethal than a hornet.
The light cavalry lacked effective defense methods. After this round of shooting, dozens of cavalrymen, people or horses, were shot by arrows.
Unfortunately, these bows and arrows were not as good as regular soldiers. Dabro sighed that most of the people who were shot were still alive and jumping, and only a few unlucky guys were killed; the quality of bows and arrows was one thing, and the proficiency of the shooter was not strong.
The Eastern Army soon realized that they were ambushed and turned around to evacuate-
"crab."
"crab--!"
The main show begins.
The militia began to rush out from the ambush, half in front of the cavalry team, and the rest blocked the rear of the cavalry team.
Logically speaking, such a group of mobs cannot withstand the high-speed impact of the light cavalry, but...
The militia quickly inserted their double pointed wooden stakes diagonally towards the direction of the cavalry and firmly inserted them to the ground - the height of the pointed end was directly facing the horse's neck, and it was not difficult to imagine what the consequences would be if they poked them directly into.
Then they took two or three steps back, each holding a spear in his hand and aimed at the direction of the cavalry.
The archers naturally did not stop; they continued to launch a new round of shooting with their bows and arrows;
Although it is actually not very lethal, it has a considerable deterrence; the cavalry in the East did not have to think too much and rushed towards the militia behind-the-scenes-
Obviously, this is extremely stupid.
Those stakes were not solid, but seemed particularly dense on not-so-wide roads;
The cavalry tried to dodge, but they would still hit the pointed wooden stakes behind them. No matter how skilled the rider was, he could not tame the horses as if he was in control of himself.
In addition to pointed wooden stakes, there are also spears; even for people who have not been trained, there will be no big problem when poking people with spears - the distance is very far, and the people behind cannot even see the situation in front, so naturally there is no fear;
More importantly, those cavalrymen were more like they bumped into each other.
In a very short time, three hundred light cavalry lost a small half - the main loss was horses; and people either fell to the ground and were injured and unable to move, or were killed by spears that were stabbed randomly, and could not enter at all.
They couldn't stop yet—because the spear array behind them was approaching;
The more than 60 cavalrymen also obtained spare cavalry rifles from their companions and launched a counterattack against the light cavalry team that had been chasing them for a long time.
"Dropping off your horse, putting down your weapons, and avoiding death."
"Drop off your horse - put down your weapons - avoid death!"
However, no one followed Dabro's advice to surrender.
The cavalry from the East were ready to fight out of the woods.
Although it is relatively difficult to access there, there are no spears and stakes in the woods after all;
But when they really stepped in, they found that they were wrong-
There are indeed no spears and wooden stakes, but there are dense traps;
Once the horse steps on it, it will overturn the person to the ground...
The winner has been decided.
Dabro is not interested in killing, but is quite persistent in winning or losing.
This victory did not cause any substantial damage to the Eastern Front, but at least it could help Dabro gain some voice from Marquis Mor...
That's enough.
