King Kugit New Khan (2)

Somewhere in the northern county of Ryerdian

The crisp sound of horses' hooves was distinctly clear in the silent night, and it was getting closer, and in the shadowy darkness, the cavalry swept across the earth like a gale, leaving behind invisible dust.

The sound of horses' hooves woke up the small animals around them, setting off the cold of Chu Ūn extraordinarily lively, and the wild birds that were startled by the flight fluttered to find a place to hide.

But the cavalry kept a high degree of silence, many of them were bent over and pressed tightly to the horse's back, and even some of the brave cavalrymen simply fell asleep on the horse's back, allowing the horse to follow the march of the large army.

At dawn, the sky was very dark, it was a night when the moon was sparse, and there was no light at this time. But half an hour later,

The pre-dawn darkness gradually passed, and the morning light slowly opened the prelude to the darkness of the earth, and the faint light gradually illuminated the black armor of the cavalry, as well as the white thorns at the mouth of the iōng

This is Vekia's cavalry. It was the cavalry of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment of Vecchia.

It was a very quiet morning, the sun was shining on the earth, the cold air was full of sweet smell, the green grass buds in the field seemed to have grown a lot taller overnight, and the golden-colored grass had straight stems from the hard frozen soil, allowing its pale yellow petals, bathing in the warm winter sun as much as possible,

"Tata Tower"

The Falcon Cavalry formed four formations, cautiously and slowly crossing a rolling hill, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, occasionally mixed with the neighing of horses and the clashing of metal vests.

The armor of the black - was lined up in several fast-moving black lines, shining with a dark luster in the golden light of the sun, and dense cavalry queues continued to emerge from the high places of the hills, looking from a distance like a black wall that suddenly appeared in the hilly area

"Everybody stop!"

The commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment of Vicchia, Varisian, stopped his horse on a hill,

Seeing the stop flag erected by the flag bearer in front, the Vekian cavalry reined in their horses on the top of the mountain, the sharp spears in their hands drooping, shining with terrifying brilliance like snow, the cracking mountain wind passed through their ranks, and the smell of blood spread in the wind,

Varisian, the flag commander who ordered the stop, looked at the scene in front of him with a sleepy gaze, and the corners of his mouth were undisguised with surprise

"Are you sure the direction of King Kujit Khan's escape is really here?" Varisian turned his head with an ugly face, and asked Kuhn Bō, who was looking for a map next to him,

The peaceful and tranquil scene in front of him made him wonder if he was chasing the wrong direction

From the Grimm Promenade to the northern border of Ryrdian, Valisian's Third Cavalry Regiment was like a turtle that never let go, fiercely following behind the fleeing Khan King Ssaiari, and the two sides were entangled and separated many times along the way, and then entangled, and then separated, and after many days of fighting, he seemed to forget the original face of this world-

Fighting all the way, the Khan King Sisai Ali, who was already greatly damaged, almost wiped out half of his most sharp 5,000 royal court guards, before he got rid of the pursuers at a fork in the road near Morin.

On the third day after discovering that he had lost his target, the Khan's horse team found traces of escape on the eastern side of the Molin Valley, and after a full day of searching, crossed the ridge ahead

"My lord, I think we are M-Road" Adjutant Kuhn Bō took out the military map from his package and carefully identified it for a while before he responded hesitantly, pointing innocently to the plain in the distance

"We have strayed from the main road marked on the map because of many mountain encounters with the Kugit cavalry, and if the direction is correct, we should now be somewhere on the east side of the valley of Morin, where on the map it is a hill, and this is clearly not the place in front of us"

"Nonsense, can't I even tell the difference between a hill and a plain?" Varisian glared at him dissatisfiedly, and looked up again at a large sparkling river in the distance, and stretched out their eyes to a large plain, along the river and ditch, and a town shrouded in gorgeous splendor could be seen,

On the cliff wall of the mountain behind the town, an old but very majestic castle is standing there, and the golden morning light shines on the side of this castle, leaving a long golden silhouette.

The dilapidated walls are made of white-gray porphyry characteristic of the nearby hills, with pointed tops, round glossy bases, and an independent suspension bridge over the cliff wall of the castle and the access road outside, and below is the towering career, typical of a fortress castle that is not open by a man, and the pitted surface outside the walls is covered with the vicissitudes of time.

There was an unfamiliar lord's banner fluttering at the top of the castle, although it was impossible to distinguish it from that of the wealthy clan, but one thing was certain, this was not the three-star battle flag of the Kujits, and the most likely thing was that it was inadvertently mō in the area of a certain lord of Ruierdian

"No matter what, we ran 200 miles in seven hours with full armament, and everyone was tired enough, if we really met the Kujits, everyone would be in trouble."

Varisien looked up at the sun overhead, waved his hand to the heralds behind him, and ordered loudly

"Send plainclothes scouts to the towns ahead, find out where we are as quickly as possible, and if possible, let them ask as much detail as possible, I suspect the Kujits, they may be hiding somewhere here"

"yes, I think it's suspicious too. It's too calm compared to the rest of the northern region," said Adjutant Kuente with emotion, rolling up the crumpled map and giving it to the guards beside him

None of the guards were southerners. Moreover, they were not long after being requisitioned from the north, and they did not know much about the combat methods of the cavalry troops, and they were even more unsuitable for riding horses for a long time.

"No one thought that King Kujit Khan would be so timid, he didn't even have a decent collision, and every time he ran away as soon as he made contact," Warisian wiped the sweat from his forehead vigorously. Said slowly.

He was a true nomadic origin, originally a Saxon on the northern border, and later joined the cavalry team of Samar when the fat man formed the Guards Cavalry, because of his mobile and flexible combat, he was deeply appreciated by Salon, and with the formation of cavalry units in the Northern Army, he was appointed by Salon as the commander of the Third Cavalry Banner Regiment,

This time, Saron recommended to the fat man that he was responsible for the pursuit of the Khan King of Kujit, and it was his flexible tactical style that happened to be the nemesis of the swift tactics of the Kugit cavalry, but in fact, it was also the case, with scattered sieges and stubborn tactics, so that the Khan King Sisaiali, who had always regarded himself as brave, also felt that he had no way, and could only be cut off again and again

He had long been accustomed to such long journeys, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride when he saw the pain of those others. In fact, judging by the actual table xiàn. The Saxons did have an innate advantage in fighting on horseback, otherwise the fat man would not have used the Saxons to form his first cavalry

"My lord, did you say that the Kugit Rangers need to rest like we did?"

Taking the opportunity to straighten out the supplies, the adjutant Kuant sat down next to Varisian, looked at the soldiers around him who were resting and starting breakfast, suddenly thought of something, and asked with a curious expression

"Hehe, a simple nomadic cavalry, there is almost no need for logistics"

Varisien smiled at the corner of his mouth, took a piece of dry from the guard's hand, and said vaguely as he gnawed on it, "Each of them has three horses, two for rotation and a third for carrying some simple supplies, and they can travel day and night without stopping." If it weren't for the fact that they had lost these reserve horses because of the battle with us, they would have run away long ago."

"Yes, then you said that they who have lost their supplies will come to this town to resupply supplies?" Hearing this, Adjutant Kuant suddenly raised his head and looked at the plain in the distance, and said in a condensed voice, "I have taken a closer look all the way here, the whole hill, except for here, there are no other big towns that can be used for supplies, I think we just need to wait here, those Kugit people will run over by themselves"

"Well, you're saying we're waiting for them here?"

Varisian, who was chewing the dried cow in his mouth, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and looked at the quiet and beautiful scenery in the distance

"But that doesn't mean that the Kugit didn't get here before us, and if that were the case, we would not only delay the pursuit, but also spend precious time."

"The Kugit people are not good men," Adjutant Kuant's mouth turned into a smile, "I've never heard of such a calm place where the Kugit cavalry passed."

"Well, it makes sense, but there are plains near the town, and there are so many cavalry of us, there is no place to hide" Varisien pondered for a while and nodded

"Why hide," Adjutant Kuante shrugged his shoulders and looked around, "I think it's good here, the terrain is high and flat, as long as there is a situation in the town, we can calmly encircle outside the town, and even if the enemy has wings, he won't be able to run."

Soon, the scouts who went to the town to scout brought back news about the area, the majestic castle in front of it was called Dvalinburg, founded three hundred years ago, when the kingdom of Ryrdian was struggling to expand its territory to the north, the mighty king of Ryrdian Harkachis the Great led an army of 60,000 people, and had just completed the war to conquer the northern Rotus.

And in order to resist the threat of the Kugit people in the north, Kyoto, which was then located in St. Ludax in the south-central region, was forcibly relocated to the newly conquered land, the ancient capital of the thousand-year-old empire of Ikadiva, Paravon, in addition to showing his bravery, but also expressing his desire to restore the glory of the thousand-year-old empire.

The plains north of Paraven had just been devastated by the war, and the Hakassi Emperor rewarded a large number of new lords, hoping to use this method to consolidate the rule of Ryrdian over the region.

As the three northern counties as the frontier fortress backed by West Kugit, Hakasschi the Great personally sent people to build his own command point in the northernmost northern county, and then named it "Fort Dvalin", which Rui Canon means "the place where the sun shines".

Unfortunately, Destiny Man, for three years after the completion of the construction of this castle, the majestic Hakaski the Great was in the south to fight with the Goudes for Rudabao, but because of the recurrence of an old injury, when he passed a jī stream, he suddenly fell from his horse into the river water only knee-high.

The emperor was 65 years old at the time, and he was still wearing dozens of pounds of heavy knight's armor, and by the time they rushed to rescue him from the river, the emperor had already suffocated to death because of the ice on the surface of the river, poured into the lungs, it was the first and last time that the Ruierdian people were so close to the hinterland of the Roude people.

Because of the taboo with the emperor's death, this magnificent castle with the meaning of the sun shining was allocated by the royal family to a little-known little lord.

"You say this is Fort Dvalin, in the northern county of Ryrdian" Hearing the scout's report, Adjutant Kuante took the map from the guards, and quickly found the exact location on the map, which was a dimple near the northern border of Ryrdium,

From the geographical point of view, it is from the northwest to enter the entrance of the central plain of Ruierdian, so it is no wonder that King Kugit wants to flee here, as long as he can safely enter the central plain of Ruierdian, at that time it is the fish returning to the sea, the eagle soaring in the sky, and there is no place to find it

Kuant's finger clicked on the map, and his voice was a little excited, "If it is the scope of the northern counties of Ruierdian, then it must be right, I heard that the Kujit people almost signed a contract with the Ruierdian people last time to cede the three northern counties, for this reason, the Kujit people have taken special care of their own tribes, and they are not allowed to loot in the three northern counties unless they have to, no wonder other places have been turned upside down, and it is still calm and peaceful here"

"Then according to that, the Kugit people will not necessarily loot here to replenish supplies" Hearing Kuant's words, Varisian frowned, and finally seized a great opportunity, but he didn't expect to lose it like this

"No, they'll be in a moment," Adjutant Kuynt waved his hand with great certainty, "I can guarantee that if the Kugit are any closer, they will definitely loot here, because they have an insurmountable obstacle and will definitely be able to gain something this time, there is no reason to say that we will M-road, and the Kugit will not be M-road, maybe we will really run in front of them."

"An insurmountable obstacle?" said Varisian with a sleepy face,

"Yes, because they don't have money, the war horses can eat grass temporarily, can people go all the way to the hinterland of Ruierdian for days without eating, and not robbing them?"

Adjutant Kuhnt tilted his head and laughed

"Your kid's mouth is still so bad"

Hearing what the adjutant Kuante said, Varisienwa also grinned, this young adjutant is good, but sometimes he likes to be poor, but I heard that he was once a member of a certain northern noble, and later joined Samar's Southern Army for some unknown reason, probably like himself, because of his hatred for the incompetence of Kyoto at that time

Varisian turned and shouted to the cavalry around him, "Inform the squadrons that their horses are not unarmoured, their weapons are not to be removed, and they are ready to go into battle at any time."

Hearing the order of the commander of the banner, the cavalrymen who were already sitting on the ground stood up one after another, hung up the vests that had been taken off from the new, put the black saddle on the horse's back again, and fastened it tightly with their hands on the horse's cross.

In addition to the Vekia Guards cavalry, the other ordinary cavalry used iron buckle ring waistcoat, because there was no tool that could winch the wire, the craftsmen used molten iron to water such as a good mold, this kind of vest is more than half the weight of other countries' hanging iron armor, for the frontal sprint protection ability is average, but can effectively resist arrow clusters or horizontal slashing,

At the beginning, the fat man designed it like this, it was aimed at the scimitars and sharp arrows of the Kugit Left Guard cavalry, as for encountering the real heavy cavalry, the fat man never encouraged his light cavalry to collide with the opponent's heavy cavalry.

High mobility and strong assault ability are the cavalry that the fat man needs, as for the heavy cavalry like a tank, the fat man prefers to use the ballista of the Vekia army formation to deal with, that is the big killer of a row of down, who called the heavy cavalry once charged, there is no room for braking, if a few fall in front, it will often cause the entire queue to be set

A qiē is ready,

"To be honest, it's so beautiful here, if it weren't for the war, I really wouldn't want to spoil it"

After some inspection, Varisian sat down on a rock again, his flag commander sword in his hand, his eyes fixed on the town in the distance, and muttered in his mouth

The great plain in front of you is like a big map, dotted with vegetable gardens, pastures and uā gardens, a network of ditches and rivers, hyacinths and purple rowland grass on the hillside, like a beautiful large uā ball, exuding the vitality of life

In the dark and dreary fields, you can faintly see some speckled yellow-small uā, windmills slowly turning in the breeze, clusters of farmhouses, colorful small villages, and huts with storks roosting on the roof.

Varisien looked at this scene in his dream, and suddenly felt a tangle in his heart, the plain town in front of him reminded him of his former hometown,

If it weren't for the Kujits, he might still be hunting in a forest near the mountains Varisien's eyes were slightly red, and the hand holding the war knife felt a little trembling for the first time,

Because he knew that what he was doing now was waiting for the butcher's knife of the Kugit to destroy this qiē

"My lord, do you know, this place is very much like my home" At this time, the adjutant Kuante also walked over from the side, sat down beside him, and recalled with a look on his face, "If it weren't for the damned Kujits, if it wasn't for the war that destroyed the whole race, I might have been sitting on the balcony of some small castle, writing love letters to my beautiful cousin" F [Latte Chinese] [.Natie.Cc]
