Chapter 252: Surprise Attack (2)

"Report, the captain of the Blade Wing led the 3rd Wing out of the frozen continent 10 days ago, and attacked the camp of the Reclamation Army in the Kaliman area of the Byzantine River Plain, and captured more than 1,900 enemy heads. ”

"The 3rd Wing marched north from the Kaliman camp 8 days ago to attack the infantry regiment of the Byzantine 7th Army stationed in Chiba Town, and captured more than 2,300 enemy heads. ”

"It is reported that the 3rd Wing encountered a convoy of Byzantine troops carrying grain to the city of Otto seven days ago, beheaded more than 1,200 ranks, and burned a total of 400 wagons of enemy grain and grass. ”

"The 3rd Wing attacked the city of Otto, an important town on the western front of Byzantium, five days ago, and broke through the city in a short time. Later, the 30,000 Byzantine defenders of Otto City counterattacked, and the enemy was strong and abandoned the city. The Otto City guerrilla cavalry brigade broke away from the infantry and cooperated with the pursuit of the city, and the captain of the Blade Wing lured the enemy into the depths. The enemy's 3,000 horsemen and our more than 2,000 wolf horsemen fought a bloody battle on the east side of the Nehe River, and the enemy's horsemen were completely annihilated within half a day. It is said that after the war, the banks of the Nea River were full of corpses, and the river was completely red. ”

"Report, Lord Blade's headquarters is moving to the southwest of the Nehe Plain, and we have carefully judged that your Excellency has the intention of returning to the army. It is reported that the supreme commander of the garrison on the western front of Byzantium heard that our side had killed several times the number of enemy leaders with only a few men and horses, and in a fit of rage, he had dispatched the garrisons of Otto, Dorne, and Essen, as well as the garrisons of villages and towns along the way, totaling 50,000 to pursue and find the headquarters of Lord Blade, but the whereabouts of Lord Blade's headquarters were erratic and there should be no danger for the time being. ”

......

The briefings that flew like snowflakes were neatly laid out on Overseer Kayla's desk, and Overseer Kayla and the other staff and generals around him were all stunned as they read the briefings.

"No, just a wolf cavalry wing of 2,500 people can kill the army of the Byzantine Empire so badly?

"When did the Byzantine army become so weak?"

"Is this true?"

After a brief period of shock, a number of staff members and generals were dissatisfied, most of whom were in disbelief that the Blade Division had achieved such a brilliant record.

Overseer Kayla took a few steps back and forth in his office, and suddenly asked in a deep voice to his chief of staff, Vanado, "Is the news reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable, I have checked several reports from our troops in the western Byzantine garrison, and at last I am sure that these news are true!" said Vanardo excitedly, "Your Excellency, you must also have noticed that the atmosphere of the various Byzantine regiments stationed on the other side of our border has been extremely tense these days, and they have been frequently moved, I think it must have been caused by the powerful impact of the cavalry wing of General Blade on the Byzantine territory in Byzantium. The Byzantines were now confused about the situation, and probably thought that this was the prelude to an imminent major offensive on our side, so they strengthened their guard. ”

"Unexpectedly, more than 2,000 wolf cavalry attacked the Byzantine Empire, and not only was the whole army wiped out in other people's territory, but it would have such a shocking impact. The Blade General is a good leader of his troops, worthy of being the queen of Fury's Wind!" Vanado was full of praise, completely forgetting that he had complained about the acceptance of Blades by Overseer Kayla not long ago.

"This is also the blessing of the god of war. Overseer Kayla grabbed the tea on his desk, drank it in one gulp, and then answered with a smile: "Pass the order, let all the legions come out of the front of the station, put on a posture of attacking Byzantium, and put more pressure on the Byzantine side!"

"My lord, then I will go back at once and lead my troops to attack Byzantium. A black and fat Bil Bear Clan general waved his fist and shouted excitedly: "Whahaha, it's been a long time since I've fought with that group of human beings on the other side, this time the Wolf brothers of the Blood Fang Cavalry Regiment did a good job, and they deserve to be the elite troops on the same level as our berserk legion." However, I will now let the Wolf brothers of the Bloodfang Cavalry know that the best warriors of our Pier clan are not unique to the Berserk Legion. ”

Hearing this, the Kayla Overseer froze for a moment, then glanced at the bear-man general, and said angrily: "Virat, didn't you hear that I just want you to put on a show? Who wants you to really attack? Do you really want to start a full-scale war between us and Byzantium? We are not ready, and now is far from the time for a full-scale war with Byzantium! If you disrupt His Majesty the Lionheart's plans and deployments, he will blame him, can you and I afford it?"

"Huh?" Verat stretched out his furry giant palm, touched the back of his head, and wondered, "My lord, aren't those blood-toothed wolf cavalry already fighting with the Byzantine Empire?"

"Now our forces attacking Byzantium are nothing more than a cavalry wing, and battles of this magnitude, which occur from time to time between the Byzantine Empire and our Beamon Empire, can only be regarded as harassment. The fact that the Byzantine border guards were defeated by our little force only shows that they are stupid and incompetent, and the impact can be controlled, but if the two sides are engaged in the battle with an army of hundreds of thousands of people, then the result and nature are completely different! Don't you understand such a simple truth?" Overseer Kayla rebuked in hatred.

Verat finally had a "I see" expression on his face. Then, the stout bear-man general smiled sheepishly.

Who called the Bil bear clan Although they are born with divine power and extremely strong combat effectiveness, their minds are extremely simple, as if they are always missing a tendon! Faced with a slightly more complicated problem, the bear people often think about it for a long time, and they may not be able to figure it out.

"The news that came back just now also said that the wolf cavalry of the third wing began to move west, and they should be planning to return to our territory, and ordered the various regiments on the border to keep an eye on them and be ready to respond at any time. Overseer Kayla then ordered.

"More than 2,000 wolf cavalry are in a no-man's land in your own jurisdiction, no wonder you are thundering. Haha, there is no way for an army of 300,000 to take more than 2,000 people, James, it seems that your official transport has arrived. Overseer Kayla gloated at the thought of the situation facing his old rival across the border, who had fought him for years.

While the orc generals on the eastern border of the Beamon Empire rejoiced in the victory brought by Blade, Blade began to get into trouble.

The arrows were like locusts, dense like rain, and they kept shooting towards the phalanx of shields on the ground.

A sharp arrow pierced through the gap in the shield and struck one of the wolf horsemen in the chest, who let out a scream and rolled over and fell off the wolf's back.

After the rain of arrows, a few more wolf cavalry and a few wolves slept forever on the ground beneath their feet.

The blade's eyes were instantly bloodshot, and his gaze stared at the figures flying up and down in the sky.

Ten days ago, when Blade led the Third Wing into the Niehe Plain, in the form of blitzkrieg, he fought more than ten large and small battles with the western border guards of the Byzantine Empire, killing nearly 20,000 enemies, but his own losses were only 500 people. Later, in the crazy encirclement and interception of the Byzantine army, the sharp blade commanded and was at ease, and never let the Byzantine pursuers catch the whereabouts of their own team.

Blade was not a man of recklessness, and after achieving a result that even he had not expected, he decided to take it as soon as he saw it, so he led the remaining 2,000 wolf cavalry south out of the Niehe Plain, into the more vast central plain, and then quickly turned west, and quickly retreated towards the border area of the Beamon Empire.

In order to return to the empire as soon as possible, Blade ordered the wolf cavalry to abandon the excess weight on their bodies and travel lightly, only to maximize the speed advantage of the cavalry. However, just as the wolf cavalry was getting closer and closer to the Empire's borders, and the perfect lightning raid was about to come to a perfect end, a terrifying army successfully crept on them.

That is, the air cavalry, which has a more mobile advantage than the land cavalry.

In order to annihilate this force, which disgraced all the soldiers of the Byzantine Western Frontier Army, the Supreme Commander of the Western Byzantine Frontier, General James, even sent all the air cavalry, which was usually not easily dispatched.

In the vast skies of the Nie River Plain and the Central Plains, the air cavalry desperately searched for traces of the invading wolf cavalry on land. Due to the unusually agile mobility of the air cavalry and the wide field of view when scouting, one of the squadrons of Byzantine griffin knights finally spotted the wolf cavalry.

The number of this squadron of griffin knights was only about three hundred. In terms of their ability to fight alone, they are really no match for the blood-toothed wolf cavalry, let alone the huge gap in numbers. However, the Griffin Knights squadron did not engage the wolf cavalry head-to-head at all, but continued to harass them.

The griffin is one of the more common flying monsters living on the Northumbside continent, and the human countries of the Eastern Continent use the griffin as the main mount for building air cavalry. Most of the Byzantine military griffins came from wild griffons domesticated in the Lalps Mountains in the eastern part of the Byzantine border.

In addition to its hard-to-iron beak, the Lalps griffin is most famous for its lightning-fast speed. To be sure, the speed of the wolf riding by the Bloodtooth Wolf Cavalry is not an exaggeration to describe the speed of the wolf that travels thousands of miles in a day, but when compared to the flight speed of the Lalps griffon, it is still half a beat slower.

Since the air cavalry is a special class in the orc and human army sequences, the number is scarce. As a result, battles between air cavalry officers also occurred, but they were not common. Most of the air cavalry faced battles with land arms.

If the air cavalry and the land cavalry on the flying mount fight face-to-face with knives and guns, it is obvious that the natural advantages of the flying mount cannot be brought into play. As a result, most of the air cavalry on the Northumbered continent were mainly armed with bows and crossbows, in order to create a condescending and advantageous offensive advantage over the land enemy in battle.

Although the land cavalry was also armed with bows and crossbows, the advantages and disadvantages of one archery from the bottom up and one from the top down were obvious.

Of course, there is also a flying class on the continent of Northumbered that doesn't care whether the weapon equipped is melee or ranged, and that class is the Dragon Knight. Because the dragon knights are all strong men who have entered the Holy Rank, and their strength is too strong, so it is obviously redundant for them to choose what kind of superior weapons to fight the enemy.
