Chapter 0681: Blocking the Hit

After thinking about it for a while, Hammidon finally decided that the troops would continue to advance sixty miles to the southwest tomorrow, and then send sentry cavalry to observe the movements of the demon army, and then customize the next plan after determining the situation.

This idea was approved by most of the lords, with the exception of two young nobles who had just inherited the throne and were ready to take advantage of the opportunity to show their talents.

However, the two of them were alone and had no right to speak, and after a few arguments, they died down.

On the second day, the troops set up camp and marched straight in the direction of the twilight city.

Hammidon had thought that it would be impossible to encounter an army of demons near the Agmar Hills, but the facts were somewhat different from what he thought.

The troops had barely advanced for less than forty miles before they came into contact with a small group of rebels and a large force of demons.

According to the Sentinel's report, the rebels, numbering less than two hundred, were fleeing in confusion towards the north, covered in blood, and must have experienced a terrible battle.

There are more than 10,000 demons, of which more than eighty percent are cannon fodder demons, hanging behind the rebels like stragglers.

As expected, the rebels fought the demon army, and after being defeated, they prepared to evacuate to Fort Marseille in the north.

Two hundred rebels and nearly 10,000 demons?

The lords and nobles immediately became excited when they heard the news, they now have an army of nearly 30,000, how can they let go of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Without waiting for Hammidon to give the order, the young Earl Richard led the crowd and said, "I will lead my men to deal with the rebels, and as for the demons, I will leave them to you." ”

Hearing this, everyone scoffed, and they all knew that the other party's small abacus was nothing more than wanting to pick up a soft persimmon and pinch it by themselves, leaving the difficult bones to them.

Count Richard had more than 2,000 men under his command, including more than 300 elite soldiers, more than 600 auxiliary soldiers, and more than 1,000 young and strong laborers.

Dealing with a rebel army of less than two hundred, or an exhausted rebel army, it is a shame that he can say such a great righteousness.

The so-called elite soldiers, in fact, there are clear standards, soldiers must at least have the strength of a middle-level martial artist, complete armor, can be called elite soldiers, the armor here naturally refers to iron armor.

The auxiliaries had to have the strength of a low-level warrior and wear a full set of leather armor, and the young and strong were the farmers who were pulled out to fill the numbers or be responsible for escorting supplies during the battle.

All these people combined, not to mention that they were more than enough to deal with less than two hundred defeated troops, but even three or five hundred regular troops.

Of course, the premise is not to encounter such a battle-fighting division as the Eastern Army and the garrison of Gannan Province.

Seeing that the other party was so sincere, Han Milton nodded and said, "Then the rebels will be left to you to solve." ”

As soon as the words fell, a discordant voice came from the crowd: "Why? Why did he pinch the soft persimmon of the rebels?

Hammidon frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked at the voice, and found that it was also a young nobleman, the Earl of House, who spoke.

When Count Richard heard the other man's words, he was like a fried rooster, and said angrily: "What do you mean? What do you mean by soft persimmons? Are two hundred heavily armed rebels soft persimmons in your eyes?"

"You're so loud, I don't know how good you are. ”

Not to be outdone, Earl House sneered, "What's the matter?

"If you think that the rebels are not soft persimmons, why don't we two change, you follow the big army to deal with the demons, and I can deal with the rebels?"

Hearing this, Count Richard's momentum immediately weakened, and it was undeniable that two hundred exhausted defeated troops were willing

It's going to be much easier to deal with than demons.

On top of that, these rebels have a lot of oil and water to fish, such as weapons and armor, which are very valuable things, and no matter how bad they are, they can find some gold and silver from them.

What can the demon have on it, I'm afraid that it won't be able to make a few copper plates even if it is crushed to ashes.

Listening to the dispute between the two, Han Midon's face gradually turned cold, and after a while, he said: "If you don't want to deal with the demons, go and deal with the rebels, I won't force this." ”

After saying that, he commanded the heralds under his command, "Order the whole army to assemble and follow me to destroy the demons." ”

The herald replied loudly, then glanced disdainfully at the arguing nobles, and turned his horse's head to convey the order.

The contemptuous look instantly attracted the attention of the nobles, who wanted to be angry, but finally suppressed the urge in their hearts.

After all, what they did was too embarrassing, not to mention that they couldn't afford to offend each other.

Well, bear with me for now.

In about ten minutes, all the garrisons of Gannan Province were assembled.

Two horses per person, ready to go.

When the soldiers heard that there was a demon to kill, they all showed an awe-inspiring fighting spirit, and the high momentum was really terrifying.

Hamilton pulled out the spears on either side of the saddle, tested the weight, and laughed, "I haven't really tried to throw this thing on a horse. ”

With that, he lightly clamped the horse's belly and rushed out first.

Thousands of horsemen roared away, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves that made the earth tremble.

The nobles stayed on the ground and looked at each other, and no one dared to chase after them, and no one could chase them.

They then quarreled again over who would destroy the rebels.

Thousands of iron horsemen quickly approached the demon troops under the guidance of the sentry horseman, and climbed over two hills that were not very high, and dense demons appeared in front of them.

Among them, most of them are cannon fodder demons, and the rest are middle and low-level demons, and half of the high-level demons have not been seen.

It can be seen that this army is not the main force of the demons.

Hammidon's face was relaxed, he put away his throwing gun, drew his saber at his waist, pointed ahead and shouted, "Rush straight ahead." ”

The most terrifying thing about cavalry is the ability to charge into battle, especially the cavalry with full armor like them, which is even more invincible against infantry.

This demon army is a ragtag army, where is the ability to resist, after seeing the human cavalry, the girl scattered and fled, the scene is extremely funny.

The little devil has wings, so it is naturally extremely fast, and the remaining demons who are not agile enough to move such as the little bad demon and the sheep's horn demon fall into blood mold.

Wherever the horses stood, blood drifted everywhere.

The demon who was directly decapitated and killed was considered lucky, at least he died a happy death.

If you are unlucky and break your tendons, you can only watch yourself being trampled into flesh by countless horses' hooves.

That feeling of despair is indescribable.

When the Welsh spear swept away the demons who dared to stand in front of his horse, he fell in love with the feeling of galloping on the battlefield.

Although he was the commander of an infantry division and had his own warhorse, he had never experienced what it was like to lead a cavalry charge.

That kind of heroism and freedom, that kind of courage and indomitable joy, is something that cannot be experienced when leading the infantry into battle.

He swore to himself: I will be transferred to the cavalry

The legion goes.

After thinking about it, he felt that his goal was too small, and the cavalry charge was so happy, if he could join the griffin legion, he would ride the griffin into battle......

Unbeknownst to his subordinates, Hamilton was finally intercepted by an "elite" force composed of mid-to-low-level demons after leading elite knights to kill thousands of cannon fodder demons.

Without much thought, he pulled out the throwing spears on either side of the saddle and threw them.

The sharp spear pierced directly through the chest of the minotaur in front of him, sinking deep into it, and if nothing else, it would definitely die.

The rest of the knights did the same, and threw their spears out.

In the blink of an eye, all the hundreds of demons in the front row fell to the ground and died.

The four throwing spears run out quickly, but it doesn't matter, there are crossbows and bows to use.

After two rounds of projectiles, I don't know how many more demons fell.

In the end, only the Scythe Demon was left in the front row to resist stubbornly, and they used their strong arms to defend the vital parts, so as to resist the attacks of spears and arrows.

However, in the face of the tremendous impact of the cavalry corps and the indestructible cavalry spear, they behaved like a mantis arm for a chariot.

It was the first time that Hammidon had used the mounted spear, and it was not as difficult as he had imagined, but he raised the mounted spear horizontally and aimed it at the vital part of the demon in front of him, and then urged the horse forward, forward, and forward......

Then the demon wore the spear like a sugar gourd, until the sharp tip was completely covered by the demon's body, and then he swung the spear to the side, throwing several demon corpses out like garbage.

Then he leaned down again, raised his spear, and performed the same thrust as before.

The cavalry charge is so simple, there is no skill at all, just with the huge impact and the mobility of the war horse, quickly and ruthlessly destroy all the enemies in front of them.

Originally, there were more than 10,000 demons, but at the beginning of the battle, more than 2,000 small demons ran away, and the number of remaining demons was less than 8,000, which was about the same as the number of the Third Infantry Legion.

However, there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides, and the equipment cannot be compared, so the demons have no room to resist at all.

Tens of thousands of war horses roared past, leaving only the stench of blood and severed arms and limbs.

There are less than hundreds of demons that have survived, and all of them are missing arms and legs.

Hammidon secretly screamed that he had never even dreamed of having a cavalry unit at Fort Saint-Brieu.

The number of people does not need to be too large, dozens of people are enough.

He originally thought it was a luxury, but he didn't expect that today's dream would come true.

Hamilton really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, but noticing the gazes of his subordinates around him, he finally resisted the urge to do so.

As a corps commander, image is important.

Hammidon ordered Wilson to pursue the fleeing demons, while he stayed behind to clean up the battlefield and count casualties.

The casualties on their own side can be said to be very small, except for dozens of soldiers who were not skilled enough to fall off their horses and be injured, it is rare that no one was killed.

Horseback riding requires skill and a long period of learning, and it is simply wishful thinking to expect the infantry to master superb riding skills in less than half a month.

Hamilton did not reprimand the fallen soldiers, but only instructed the accompanying military doctor to treat the students, and then went to count the results of the battle.

The results of the battle were extremely rich, more than 5,000 cannon fodder demons were killed, and more than 2,000 middle and low-level demons were hanged.

Even if it is placed in Gannan Province, it can be regarded as an extremely brilliant victory.
