Chapter 597: The Battle of Mandalay (4)
"It takes a lot of planning to defeat the enemy in such a situation, and now that the situation in Mandalay is very critical, we don't have much time left, and the Molaika are not fools, and once they find out about our strategic intentions, I think they will react quickly."
"Yes, exactly. Sir Jobs, I have an idea, but this requires the cooperation of the Knights, and the Knights are quite risky, but this may be our only chance to deal with the Molaika people as soon as possible...... "Tommy. Cooper pondered for a moment before speaking his mind.
"Oh? Now that His Excellency Cooper has an idea, the Knights of Cassef will of course obey unconditionally, and obedience is the creed and virtue of knights. "Walter. Jobs raised his eyebrows, apparently feeling that the other party had underestimated his own consciousness.
"Don't get me wrong, the situation may be more difficult than we thought, for the sake of Mandalay we have to take some risks, and the enemy forces are clearly stronger than we expected, then we have to take risks." Tommy. Cooper shook his head and said calmly.
"Your Excellency Cober, you may wish to tell me about your plan, and perhaps the situation is not as bad as you say." Walter. Jobs realized he had misunderstood.
When Tommy. After Cooper laid out his own ideas and plates, Walter. Jobs immediately realized that the other party's design was indeed quite targeted...... It should be said that this is a rather tempting plan. However, as the other party said, the risk is also quite large, and if the 1,500 people of the Knights of Casif are not careful, they may fall into a situation from which they will never recover. Of course...... If successful, the Knights of Cassef will also be a well-deserved contributor to this war.
Walter. Jobs was quick to make a decision. For the Knights of Casef, as well as for themselves and their knights, this honor and temptation were hard to refuse. Maybe Tommy. Cooper had thought of this for a long time, and the dignity of a knight did not allow him to say a word of refusal or retreat, not to mention that such an opportunity was really rare.
"The edge of the sword is sharpened! I accepted your plan, and although it was a bit risky, I firmly believed that my knights could accomplish it, and I only hope that Tommy. Master Cooper can follow the plan and get everything ready. If we don't move, we will kill. β
Walter. Jobs' face was grim. The tone is also unusually calm. But the sparkling eyes showed that he was happy to take on such a challenge.
"Your Excellency Jobs, please rest assured, if we still can't achieve the results we want even though the Knights of Cassef have completed their mission, I think that even the army on the southern front in the interior will have no face to continue the war. I'll ask for punishment. "Tommy. Cooper certainly heard Walter. Meaning in Jobs' words. Said categorically.

The heavy armor on his body made Maev a little uncomfortable. But he still meticulously maintained his military posture so as not to attract criticism from others.
Maev knew that his every word and action was being watched by the critical-looking knights around him, as a cavalry commander rather than a knight leader. Although he commanded a cavalry corps of more than 10,000 people, in the eyes of those great nobles, his identity still could not be compared with those noble-born knight leaders...... This made Maev very resentful, but he knew that he was powerless to change this fact.
Five thousand heavily armored cavalry, on the plain like a surging torrent flowing, thick horse hooves trampled heavy dust on the ground, the faces of the soldiers have been tightly covered by face armor, fully armed knight spears with iron leaf heavy armor, produced in the Relar Wasteland, although the image looks worse than those knights' purebred horses, but Mayev knows that it is this kind of Relar giant horse that looks a little dull can afford to be a few dozen pounds heavier than other cavalryβ¦β¦ This is also the most common ride in the Titan world for heavy cavalry mounts.
The reason why these heavy cavalry were transferred was to deal with the famous barbarian and orc legions of the Cordillera army. From the perspective of infantry, the infantry of these two races is almost as good as the Terran infantry, but against the heavy cavalry, it is not enough.
For this battle, Maev did not dare to be careless, now the main force is swinging the army to storm Mandalay, once Mandalay is occupied, the offensive and defensive situation is completely controlled by the empire, even if the Cordillera army comes, it will not help; The reverse is also true.
Cavalry has never been a defensive force, and Maev wanted to use his heavy cavalry to defeat the reinforcements of the Cordillera army.
Maev knew that the war in the north was just a tidbit, and the real decision on the fate of the land of Fenglu was still up to his side, but Maev was not as optimistic as his boss and the knight leaders.
The Orc hoplites, along with the Barbarian Berserkers and the Knights of Cassef, were the opponents he was about to face, and although Maev had never dealt with these alien warriors from the Cordillera, that didn't stop him from knowing them. If it is true that as the legend says, Maev calculates that even if his side can win, he is afraid that he will have to pay a very heavy price.
Maev sighed softly, but it was a pity that his superiors and knight chiefs did not think so, they thought that these aliens from the outwoods of Cordillera were only in good health, and that once the war broke out, the undisciplined and untrained alien soldiers would reveal their weak nature, and perhaps their own army would only need one or two decent battles to end the whole war.
If things are really that simple, then it's really weird, that Hathaway can really rise to the Odega out of thin air, where can there be such mediocrity? Whether it's Erabeni, Joshua, or the Fervenor family, they are all planted in her hands so silently, can it be said that the Odega people are all a bunch of incompetent and stupid mediocrity? Of course, this is not possible, but the truth is often not believed.
Mayev's gaze drifted to the rear, followed by eight thousand light cavalry. This is the main force of the assault in their own hands, whether in terms of degree or endurance, these light armored cavalry crotch Biang war horses are one of the few excellent horse breeds in the entire Titan world, although in terms of gravity is not as good as the Thunder Ral's giant horse, but in terms of speed and endurance, this kind of healthy horse deserves to become the first choice of light armored cavalry.
Compared with the heavy cavalry, the light cavalry has a significant difference in both armor and weapons, there is no whole piece of iron leaf armor, at most, there are one or two iron leaves inlaid on the leather armor in the vital parts, and the knight gun is a few points lighter than the heavy knight gun. Plus the round shield on the horse's belly, which was the standard equipment of the light cavalry.
If the heavy cavalry is a giant axe in his hand that splits mountains and opens the way. Then the light armored cavalry is the two daggers in their hands, which can launch a fatal blow to the enemy from different directions and angles at any time.
Looking at these two armies in his hands, Maev had a little peace in his heart, as long as there were these two armies, they could enter the battle at any time. Maev believed that no one could easily please him.
The distance between the troops and the other branches of the army is getting farther and farther away. Maev knew that these knights did not like him at all. Just as he had never liked the pretentious knights, he was nothing more than a rough officer who was lucky enough to get up from below, but now the two sides had to come together.
A fast horse galloped towards him. Judging by the rider's horseback movements, Maev knew that this was a knight.
"General Maev, Sir Miarand asks you to come over, he has important matters to discuss with you."
"Oh?"
An ominous premonition hung over Maev's mind, Mialan, as the commander of this war, did not know the real situation of Otiga, and to a large extent he accepted the opinions and opinions of the knight chiefs, and it was obvious that it was not a good sign to ask himself to go over at this time.
The mustache under the jaw that looked like a goldenrod tail looked so annoying, a rare military uniform of Sir Mialand, with a gorgeous long sword dangling from his waist, a pair of goldfish eyes scattered and godless, a mouth like a demon ape, sunken eyes, and bulging eyebrow bones, no matter how you look at it, you can't associate him with the majesty or elegance of the nobles, and the knight leaders next to him are whispering excitedly, which makes Maev's heart a little worried.
"Mialand-sama, are you looking for me?" Maev stepped forward and asked.
"Well, Commander Maev, Viscount Obato's front team of the Knights has already fought against the Cordillera army twenty miles ahead, the opponent should be the Knights of Cassef, we have achieved a preliminary victory, but we have not been able to annihilate the opponent in one fell swoop, we want to hear your opinion." Miaran asked absent-mindedly.
Hear my opinion? Mayev's heart sank for a while, these guys must have some bad idea to let themselves carry out, otherwise they would never be so polite.
"Uh, I don't know much about the situation, are you sure it's the Knights of Caself? What about the other corps of the Cordillera Army? Did you find anything? β
"Commander Majev, our scouts have already understood clearly, it is the Knights of the Cadillera Army, about 1,500 people, and the combat strength is very strong, but in front of our brave knights, they still fled in disarray.
As for their barbarian and orc legions, they should still be dozens of miles behind, and it is estimated that their knight forces are also playing forward, they are not like our Molaika, they have so much cavalry strength, and Odida does not produce good war horses. β
One of the knights' chief answered, and Maev knew that it was one of the deputy chiefs of the Order, Arnalt, a man who thought he was looking at the sky, and if it weren't for the fact that his wife happened to be a distant relative of the Empress, this fellow did not know which country territory he was cowering in at this time.
"The Knights of Cassef defeated? That's a good thing, what else do we need to do now, it's best if we advance steadily, we have the advantage in combat power, and when the large forces of both sides approach, we can have a good strategy to deal with them. β
Maev wanted to tie the opening first, lest these guys always fantasize about the beauty of making a dangerous move and becoming famous in one fell swoop. As soon as these knights debuted, they were looking forward to a world-famous battle, which was what Maev feared most, and that Sir Mialan was the most unassertive flatterer, and he did not want to offend these families who had deep influence in the country.
"No, no, General Maev, although they were defeated, they escaped our attack and retreated to rest twenty miles away from us, our scouts have already reconnoitred clearly, uh, we mean to let your light cavalry force cooperate with our knights to give the Homeric knights a fatal blow and completely destroy them." Another knight leader hurriedly picked up.
Maev was silent, he was sure that things were not so simple, although Obato did not speak, but the two leaders had already made it clear, and Sir Mialan was obviously moved by what they said, and he might not succeed in opposing it, so it was better to take the initiative into his own hands
"Well, if there is a real good opportunity, then of course we can't let it go, but we can't be careless, I need to make sure if the information is accurate first."
"You-" The knight leader was obviously a little displeased with Maev's distrust, but Viscount Obato stopped him, "Of course, General Mayaev, please verify the information as soon as possible, the fighter plane is fleeting, and time is running out." β
However, Maev decided not to think much else, and he did not agree with the opinions of these simple-minded knights...... In his eyes, the knights are undoubtedly unquestionable, rather than relying on the pretending dictates of those guys there, it is better to take the initiative in their own hands, the information must be verified by their own scouts, and the deployment of the army must be arranged and planned by themselves, so that at least the risk is minimized, and they can forcibly intervene and withdraw decisively, as long as they ensure that this army is controlled in their own hands, things will not be too bad to the extent of being too bad.
As soon as Maev returned to his command position, he issued a series of orders, and almost all of the scouts were scattered at the first time, and it was important to find out what the opponent was planning to do.
I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
