From the air, the northbound army led by Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin was slowly but surely advancing towards the city of Derry like a giant python----- while the army led by Major Du followed slowly and quickly to the east.

Major Du succeeded in attracting the attention of the enemy cavalry------ their army did not have that terrible four-wheeled carriage!

However, their assault still failed, and what those people did not expect was that the army, which looked like only two or three thousand men, was still terrifying.

The marksmanship of the Imperial Marines was already better than that of the Imperial Army------ because they had far more opportunities for landing drills than the Army.

In fact, the most crucial reason is that the Sultan's cavalry is not brave, but they are unable to do surprise operations!

What they hated even more was that when the short light cavalry of the Marbury army attacked them, they always fired a shot at them from a distance, and then fought with them------ which was too unfair, and before the two sides were fighting, their own side lost manpower, which caused a shadow on their psychology.

Not only that, but also those infantry who beat their cold guns during cavalry battles------- there is no way to sustain such a battle!

Major Du did not know that they were encountering pure-blood Turkic cavalry, nor that they were the last trump card of the Delhi Sultan.

He rejoiced in the bravery of his enemies------ which would make his military exploits accumulate higher and higher!

The light cavalry of the Marbury Army suffered some casualties, but only a tenth of the opponent's, and their confidence grew and they dared to boldly leave the flank of the Imperial Marines and use interspersed and deep tactics to strike at their opponents!

In the final battle in which they were about to arrive at the city of Delhi, they did not defeat their opponents, but completely annihilated a cavalry force of five hundred men of the opposing side, and captured three hundred and forty horses!

Of course, they lost more than eighty people------ pure-blooded Turkic cavalry was not given for nothing.

Major Du was heartbroken by the loss of the light cavalry, because in their private plans, these cavalry would eventually be used in the war to destroy the Ilkhanate, and it was not worth losing them here!

But on second thought, without such a bloody battle, there would be no real elite light cavalry, and then it would still not be able to deal with the more ferocious Tatar bandits------

Well, when he could already see the city of Derry from a distance, he ordered the light cavalry not to take the initiative anymore, but only to patrol the rear of the entire army to prevent the enemy cavalry from disturbing him.

Of course, the exploits of the light cavalry of the Marbury army will be counted on the head of Major Du, and we are two army systems, and their exploits will be counted by the king of Marbury.

After the two armies were reunited, Major Du insisted that the light cavalry be equipped with the cavalry of the Imperial Army, as well as the short carbines.

Major Du said: "They have been tested! He is completely obedient to our commands, and he is loyal and brave! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin smiled after hearing this, this guy is still young.

He said slowly: "The Imperial Military Department can't give us assistance to the cavalry now------ we can only slowly train and train ourselves, do you think we will arm others with all our strength before we train our own cavalry?"

Chairman Wu Dapeng will not approve the -------"

"------ I saw them shed their blood for us."

"Nope! That's bloodshed for themselves! We shed blood for them------- even a drop of blood, we shed it for them!

They must remember our kindness and obey our orders carefully------- otherwise they will be slaves of the Sultan nobles and will never be free!

Whoever follows our Federal Empire, we will make them free and rich------ of course they will have to pay for their labor!

Major Du, do you see where our empire does not do this? ”

"------ they don't blame us in their hearts?"

"No------ only those who hate our empire are robbers and slave owners, or those who always want to enslave others------ because our arrival will not make them do any more evil."

Major Du was speechless for a moment.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin was in high spirits and talked eloquently in the somewhat cold morning breeze.

Of course, he was entitled to such pride, for the city of Derry had appeared before him in its entirety, waiting for him like an amorous and charming woman, but covered with a layer of saris so that her face could not be seen clearly.

This could not help but be difficult for the Imperial Army------- four hot air balloons of the Imperial Air Force soared into the air, and the entire city of Derry appeared in front of the Imperial Air Force at a glance.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin looked at the flag sent back by the Imperial Air Force, hehe, no wonder no one went out of the city to face the battle, the city was already in chaos!

He didn't take the liberty of sending troops into the city, the battle situation had reached this point, and he only needed to advance slowly------ unless the other party was desperately defending!

Sure enough, the other party is not stupid, they may have abandoned the city and fled.

The Imperial Air Force sent another message that there were no ambushes in the city, and it seemed that there were not even soldiers.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin smiled, and the soldiers went down to the city without blood? !

If this result is passed back, it will definitely make President Wu Dapeng like it very much.

He waved his hand and gave the order.

The infantry and light cavalry of the Marbury army entered the city in whole formations, and immediately after entering the city, they began to maintain law and order, and then waited for the Imperial Army and Navy to enter the city!

Just as they were forming their team, the gates of Derry City suddenly opened, and some elderly civilians poured out of it!

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin looked at the hot air balloon again, and the message of "absolute safety" was transmitted from it.

Well, these people are not decoys.

It turned out that these people had come to meet the army, and the Brahmin high castes they had sent had once again played a role, some of them had infiltrated the city of Derry, and secretly preached among the common people in the city that the army of the Mabri Kingdom and the army of the Union Empire had been preached------ and because of this, when they forced into the city of Delhi, only the Sultan and his nobles fled, and the many civilians did not follow.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin got the exact information, two days ago, those guys fled north in a hurry with their families and property, and there were not many troops with them, and there were very few cavalry!

They must have fled to the northern military town of Ralkot, which is an easy city to defend and difficult to attack.

As early as 1242, Tatar bandits made an expedition to the northwest of Tianzhu, and they soon occupied Lahore and the Punjab region.

However, it has developed to the present day, firstly, because they are constantly being counterattacked by the army of the Delhi Sultanate, and due to the rise of the federal empire, their strength is far less than in the past------- they can no longer get support from the rear at that time, so they can only stick to the ground.

The military town of Larkot in the north was the point of military confrontation between the Delhi Sultan and them.

It had been in business for decades, so in the eyes of the Delhi Sultan and his nobles, it was an impregnable fortress!

But what is the impregnable fortress in their hearts to the army of the Federal Empire?!

Major Du looked at Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin with eager eyes, let me lead the team to attack the city!

How could Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin not understand his eyes?

After a few words, he handed over most of the army to Major Du.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin did not allow him to advance lightly, and still maintained a squeezing pursuit march; Moreover, after the capture of the city of Lalkot, it must be garrisoned and standby, and it is not allowed to continue to advance.

To capture Larkot City is to complete the battle objective of the second phase of the Tianzhu Continent.
