660 Beat Stuffy Sticks (8)
The fat man didn't seem to care about what was happening outside, and he was chatting with Mao Morvenis with a stern face about the battle between the Eastern Court cavalry and the Ryerdian people in Boregen.
Because the heavy rain soaked his clothes, the guards bought some dry wood from a nearby caravan, and a fire rose in the hollow of this cliff where they could hide from the rain, and the fat man used a wooden stick to dig the fire that rose in front of him, and the red light of the fire shone on his face, which seemed a little unreal,
"I know that you have been in the East Court before, and you have also been to the Northern Territory of Rui Erdian, with your experience, who will win the collision between the East Court strong bow and the Rui Erdian bayonet?"
The fat man tilted his head and asked the nervous Mao Morvin Liss in front of him
It's not like something I can think about" Mao Morvenis was a little dazed, this question was too sudden, and it was too far away from his identity,
I'm just a small businessman, and I need to think about such a national event? Of course, in front of the fat man, he didn't dare to say this, and hesitated for a while before saying
"It should be that the strong bow of the East Court will be slightly better."
"Oh, why do you think so?" the fat man raised his head with some astonishment, and Mao Mowenlis's answer surprised him, you must know that according to the report of the Ministry of Supervision, the fat man had already decided that this battle of Borigan should end with the victory of the Ryordians.
Although the Eastern Court dispatched almost all the black-armored archers, judging from some of the recent battles, the heavily armored Ruierdian infantry cluster is indeed the nemesis of the Eastern Court Archers.
Armed like turtle shells, these heavily armed legions slowly advanced in dense formations on the battlefield, like strong square ramparts
In the front is the shield bearer, and in the back is a four-meter spear dedicated to dealing with cavalry, because this spear is too long and difficult to balance, so it is raised high when moving, and in the middle is the archer who is responsible for driving away,
When encountering the impact of the East Court cavalry, it will immediately close to the middle, and use spears and bows and arrows to counter the impact of the East Court cavalry, it is said that the effect is quite good, in the relatively flat terrain of Boregen, this multi-functional phalanx is like a mobile fortress that integrates long-range attacks and close combat, so that several large-scale impacts of the East Court cavalry have not worked, but are like compressed sponges, which are squeezed and difficult to deploy,
Even the black-armored archers in the Eastern Court cavalry, who are known for long-range attacks, can only wander around outside the array in vain, causing some innocuous damage with the bow and arrow in their hands.
From this, it can be seen that Prais, who commanded the battle, was indeed a veteran in the use of infantry tactics, looking for the weaknesses of the Dongting people and giving full play to the strengths of the Ryerdian legion.
The unique tortoise array he invented has even been mentioned by many people as "the spear and shield of Ikadiva" along with the longbow sniper array of the Vicchians.
One is the sharpest attack formation, while the other is the strongest defensive formation, coupled with the strong combat power of the first knight of Rui Erdian, it also weakens the cavalry advantage of the Dongting people a lot.
If there is enough time, Prais, who relies on solidity to advance the front, does have a considerable possibility of squeezing the people of the East Court out of Bregen little by little
What the...... It's just a gut feeling."
Under the gaze of the fat man, Mao Mowenlis looked a little helpless, and the fat man's black pupils like the starry sky in the dark night made people worry from the heart,
His voice stopped, and he said with emotion, "Now the cavalry corps of Ruierdian is no longer what it used to be, if it was the Northern Army in its heyday, or if the commander was still the experienced Duke of Berrant, the Eastern Court cavalry would never dare to go south.
At that time, the Northern Army could be described as a star-studded army, and there were not only young generals who were cutting-edge and good at fighting. There are also experienced generals who are good at commanding, not to mention famous generals like the Lancer Kurd and the steppe fox Somya, but even so, the Northern Army does not dare to say that it can completely defeat the Eastern Court Cavalry
However, most of the people who participated in the Battle of Bregen this time were newly recruited recruits, and most of the commanders were middle-level officers who did not have much experience.
If it is an attack, it is better to say something, if it is lost, I am afraid that the whole army will be shaken immediately.
But the cavalry of the Eastern Court is completely different, they are all elites cultivated by the royal court for many years, although they have lost, but their sharpness has not been weakened by half a point.
The main force still has a cavalry cluster of more than 40,000,
The Dongting cavalry gave up a lot of places so happily, but doesn't this mean that the number of troops that can be invested in the hands of the Dongting people at one time is increasing, and the defensive line of the Ruierdian people is being invisibly lengthened.
It's like us businessmen, giving up loss-making deals and getting the money back for one more deal and making a lot of money."
"You seem to have some truth in saying that."
The fat man nodded when he heard it, yes, Mao Mowenlis's statement is very unique, but it is very logical, this is also where the fat man has been confused, the speed of the retreat of the Dongting cavalry is indeed a bit fast, according to this speed, the offensive of the Dongting people will be completely contained, and there will be no choice but to retreat from the Dongting grassland,
But if this is the case, wouldn't it be superfluous for Dongting to send reinforcements? Such a loss-making thing is not like the work of the Dongting Khan, who has always been good at fighting the autumn wind
The fat man stood up with a muttering thing to himself, looking at the rain curtain outside with some confusion, neither side was a worry-free thing,
One is the experienced and tactical geek Prais, and the other is the famous general Bogol Zamu of the Eastern Court who is known for his fierce attacks and cavalry like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
These two are a spear, the other is a shield, dry wood and fire fought a whole winter rival, originally the fat man thought there was a good show to watch, who knew that it was such a creative offensive and defensive battle,
The stalemate and slow battle situation on both sides, like two people who are both shy and shy, wish they would never meet better,
Rui Erdian's turtle tactics are quite steady, unless there is any unexpected situation, I am afraid that the expectations of this famous player in the East Court will be disappointed, and the fat man sighed
A few merchants who had been drenched in the rain also seemed to have discovered this shelter, and they staggered towards this side, and one of the guards tried to stop him, but was stopped by the fat man waving his hand,
One of the merchants hesitated and asked, "It's raining so much, the road is full of mud, and the carriage is stuck in it, I wonder if you can hide here?"
"Absolutely, it's a privilege to be able to relieve the fatigue of traveling merchants."
The fat man greeted him kindly, and looked at the clothes of these merchants, although they had changed to relatively common cloth clothes, instead of the fur sweaters that the Kugit people were accustomed to, and the broad forehead and drooping hair on both sides undoubtedly proved the identity of these merchants,
"You are all Kujits?" the fat man asked curiously, beckoning the merchants to sit down,
"Yes, my name is Asrg and I am from the distant Bohi steppe"
A middle-aged Kugit sitting cross-legged hesitated for a moment, then bent down and saluted, his demeanor and language were a little rusty, at first glance, he had just become a businessman, and the other merchants just sat behind him with a silent face, like a half-arc around him
It can be seen that this Kugit merchant has a unique identity, he should be the head of a certain clan, and when the leader speaks, all people must be silent, this is the rule of the Kugit tribe
"Asrge of the Boshi steppe, I remember the name of a large clan leader of 30,000 people, your horse farm should be closer to the east, the water and grass there are good this year, and there is no war for the time being, do you also need the leader to come out in person to do business?" said with a smile on the corner of the fat man's mouth,
Dvalin is the closest point to the northern steppes, and it is not uncommon to see the leader of the Kugit tribe.
"You. Know me?" Asrge's somewhat dark and rough face froze, he didn't expect to be recognized in distant Dvalin, his simple face was a little embarrassed, and he shook his head helplessly
"It's not all this year's rainy season, the whole horse farm is full of water, the mud on the ground can be lived on even the flying horses' hooves, and if the hoarded leather goods are not transported out, they will be piled up at home and moldy, and then there will be no return in a season, even the patriarch will have to work hard for his livelihood, and the women and children in the family are still waiting for us to go back with food."
"Oh, it's raining there too?
The fat man's eyebrows twitched upwards slightly, the heavy rain on the grassland is not like here, it is coming, like a large basin of water suddenly pouring down, in the face of such bad weather,
The meadows would be muddy, the livestock would not be able to graze, and a terrible hurricane would sweep the people and their animals into places where they could not be found.
For the steppe tribes, it is no less than the loss of a small war, in this heavy rain, I am afraid that many tribes will be affected, thinking of this, the fat man is a little depressed, and he still has a Kugit crown on his head
"Yes, at this time of year, Berkisi, the god of the rain, sets out on the road across the Kiranret Mountains from the Higgs steppe in the northeast," replied the tribal leader named Asrg with a solemn expression. At that time, the heavy rainstorm season of the grassland will also follow, the heavy rain will make our tents unbearable, occasionally mixed with hail that can kill livestock, in order to avoid the hoarding of fur mold, we all set out from the pasture a month in advance, because the distance is the farthest, when we arrive here, it is the time of the heavy rain season"
"Oh, a month ago......" The fat man's heart touched, a month ago, the reinforcements of the Eastern Court happened to go south, a month ago, the Battle of Rebogen entered a stalemate between the two sides, a month ago, the cavalry of the Eastern Court slowly gathered strength in the case of clearly losing the ground
This is too coincidental, isn't it true that the people of Dongting have been acting for a month? In fact, what they are really waiting for is the expected rainy season in the north.
