At noon, thirty kilometers from Transvania, in the unnamed plain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Reinhardt, the former dragon knight and current commander of the Norman Advance Army's mobile unit, looked at the report gloomily.

The San Orlando Legion, known as the Seventh Legion, was less than a day's journey from here, and even if its officers tried everything possible, they could delay the opponent's footsteps for more than half a day at most.

This has to be very depressing, although the strength of the mobile force is as high as 30,000, but you would never think that so many cavalry will stay in one place, right?

The speed of the light cavalry is indeed amazing, but the attack and defense are a bit unsatisfactory, and the attack behind enemy lines must of course be carried out in small forces, and once the number of people gathers more than a thousand, the problem of food and grass will cost everyone's lives.

However, the urgent letter from the rear demanded that Reinhardt must block the other party's reinforcements, at least so that the enemy did not make a ** cooperation, of course, if he can annihilate the Seventh Legion, he will not only be promoted to general, but also return to His Majesty the Emperor's Praetorian Guard!

The rewards are so tempting, but the reality is a little too skinny......

It took Reinhardt a lot of time to reluctantly summon less than 10,000 cavalry, and there was already a hidden danger of insufficient food and grass, and now it can only support the whole army for more than a day's food at most.

"Commander Reinhardt, the junior officers are once again asking to go to war, we really can't wait any longer, the horses haven't been fed well for a day, and the soldiers don't have enough supplies either, it's too barren here."

"I know that we were originally scattered operations, and now we want to directly attack the enemy, what a stupid order......"

"Then why don't we harass the enemy in the same way as before? Their combat effectiveness is not high at all, and they can completely kill the group of San Orlando miscellaneous people. ”

Reinhardt glanced at the unconvinced officer, sighed but did not explain, the scout cavalry at the front was waving the flag, and the enemy had arrived.

"Lorraine, the enemy is really waiting for us, what should we do?"

"What else can I do, General Durant, hurry up and help command these stupid guys, if we can't resist it, we'll all be finished!"

"Damn it! You recruits, you don't have any thoughts of being considerate of the elderly! Former General Durant muttered to take command, and Lorraine and his officers were very happy to have someone to help command.

In fact, when he first set off, Durant was very angry to find that the Seventh Army was even worse than he imagined, and in order to make these recruits look good, he turned into a nanny and frantically reprimanded these scumbags.

Even if General Durant spends a lot of effort to help the Seventh Army train soldiers and officers, the time is too short, and so far only the officers are a little bit awkward, and the non-commissioned officers or something are still lazy, and they don't see the slightest appearance of the regular army of the empire.

In front of them was the enemy's mobile troops, about the size of 10,000 light cavalry, and they didn't know that the Norman commanders were kicked in the head by donkeys from time to time, so they actually gave up guerrilla warfare and turned to learn the fighting methods of heavy cavalry, and wanted to use line charges to directly disperse the Seventh Army.

"Really, no matter how confident you are, don't want to get a benefit in my hands, this is the troops commanded by Durant!"

In order to ensure sufficient depth, this time in front of the largest hand-to-hand troops, Lorraine is responsible for providing a sufficient number of shields and spears (Lorraine: I'm so tired that I'm going to die of exhaustion!). Although those weapons look brittle (earth elemental, how to make them quickly if they are not brittle), they can still upgrade the melee team from a big stick to a spear and a big shield.

The musketeers were scattered on both flanks, and the width of the plain in front of them did not allow all the cavalry to sweep in, and the small protruding hills allowed the musketeers to condescend to kill the enemy, while the cavalry had to attack on their backs to reach their edges.

The mages and sappers who are not very convenient are directly thrown to the back and let them play, the number is too small to play a lot of role at all, as for the new equipment magic guide armor, although Durant has seen their huge potential, but this time he handed over the command of the new equipment to Lorraine.

"Only you can understand the full purpose of this equipment and experiment with their combat methods, and I believe that this weapon will definitely change the way of fighting in the future."

……

When the Norman cavalry finally saw the barely complete lineup of the Seventh Legion, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but the cavalry squads left behind on the hills on both sides had not yet played their due role, and they were all wiped out by mages and unknown strange weapons.

The Seventh Legion in front of them stopped, and everyone who looked at the huge spear and shield in front of them was terrified, this was completely back to the Middle Ages, the grudge between knights and spearmen!

"Commander Reinhardt, what are we going to do?"

"What else can I do? Assault? ”

"But according to the code, we should send our troops to make a detour to the enemy's flank, and we should also take the opportunity to attack the enemy's rear......"

"You're not in the right head, are you?"

Reinhardt's subordinate officers should not be unwanted in a word, "Look at the width of the battlefield, we can only put in a thousand cavalry in a wave, the enemy's flank is a hill, and before you climb up, at least half of the soldiers will be killed by muskets, and after you go up, you will have to be beaten by the opponent for another round before you can fight in close combat, as for the rear, didn't you look at the map?" It would take at least a day to reach the rear by a detour from us, and by then the battle would have been over! ”

Seeing the officers bow their heads in shame, Reinhardt sighed, the officers and soldiers under his command are more than brave, but their brains are not fast enough, and the only terrain suitable for cavalry combat in this vicinity is only here, so you can't let the troops fight guerrillas with people all the time, that will not complete the task.

Although the morale of the feudal armies of the Industrial Age (including the Magic Industry) was generally low, only the most elite troops, whether Normans or St. Orlandos, could always carry out special methods of warfare, such as guerrilla warfare.

Don't look at the light cavalry invasion like fire, the probability of being wiped out is really not low, and the cavalry commander with a bloodshot head is very likely to impact the enemy's brigade, and more can only plunder the opponent's logistics.

The Seventh Legion in front of him has no logistics at all, with two archmages (Lorraine barely counting) directly carrying the food and grass of the whole army with him, the morale of the largest number of hand-to-hand combat troops is always running away, as long as they are fed and a very small salary, the punishment camp is frightened by Taiwen, and he doesn't have to pay, he can barely use it, and the salary of the musket team is very high but it is firmly controlled.

The guerrilla warfare method is basically useless to them, and no matter how many hand-to-hand combat teams kill and wound, they can't make the Seventh Army collapse, at most it will be chaotic for a while, thinking of this, Reinhardt waved his hand, and the three thousand-man cavalry team slowly walked out of the camp.

In fact, Reinhardt really thinks too much, Lorraine is most worried about the hand-to-hand combat troops, don't look at them don't care about their life or death at all, thanks to the Morale Badge and Dreadnought Banner on Lorraine's body, it can provide magical magic effects, improve the morale and organization of the troops, and barely ensure that the Seventh Legion will not collapse easily.

"It's coming, get ready!"

The uncle reminded softly, and Taiwen, who was in charge of commanding the hand-to-hand combat troops at the front, shouted: "Everyone, raise your shield!" Spear! Never back down! ”

No one answered him, and the soldiers in the front rows had already closed their eyes, and before the battle began, everyone had a full meal, and they were promised to take the spoils of war at will, which was exactly what everyone needed.

Seeing the cavalry in the distance slowly accelerating, Lorraine knew that the time was up, and now it would be all over when the hand-to-hand combat team collapsed, so he drew the dreadnought banner that had never been used, tied it to the spear and firmly planted it on the hill, and involuntarily shouted: "Soldiers! The Empire expects every citizen to do their duty! ”

An invisible force swept across the location of the Seventh Legion, Irene glanced at him in surprise, feeling the abundant magical power in the air, and the energy was even more abundant, and everyone felt that they were fearless, and their hearts were full of courage.

"Wonderful spell, this is obtained under the imperial capital?"

"Yes, I got it from the body of the Pirate King, I didn't expect it to be really useful."

Irene nodded, "I can feel the magic filled with faith and courage, and the strange items that have been sublimated from mortal to treasure are even more magical than the magic items we make. ”

"Don't talk so much, we should act quickly, are you ready for flying and stealth?"

Irene rolled her eyes back and walked away on her own.

At this time, the whistling hussar ranks accelerated, and the overwhelming knights rushed towards them with a roar, and on the hills, the musketeers began to attack under the command of Sam.

"Everyone, prepare!"

"Aim at the enemy!"

After a few seconds......

"Shoot!"

There was a sudden explosion on the hill, the smoke was everywhere, and the cavalry in the charge had no room to dodge at all, no matter what you wanted to do, it was meaningless at this time.

Because if you try to run away or dodge alone, it will interfere with your companions and affect the entire queue, not forgetting that they have three columns of cavalry charging.

The scorching buckshot broke through the hussars' armor, and all but a few lucky ones with magical items were knocked to the ground and then pulped by the horses behind them.

Such a platoon of guns only fired two rounds, and the other party rushed into the array of the meat shield team, and the first three rows of shield spearmen fell to the ground for the first time, and the death rate of more than ninety percent greatly slowed down the impact, and the fourth to seventh rows were slightly better, and the broken arms were nothing, at least they survived.

The brutal strangulation began, the first wave of light cavalry caused the Seventh Legion to lose at least 2,000 hand-to-hand troops, and then these poor creatures with little heavy armor were killed at a rapid pace, the power of the dreadnought banner made the soldiers fearless, and increased their energy by half, even the weak peasant soldiers could fight against the cavalry a few times.

Reinhardt watched painfully as the three thousand cavalry were consumed by the other party like this, and it was a humiliation to just make a one-to-one exchange, when did the Norman light cavalry not even be able to defeat these weak third-rate troops?

"The second wave continues, and when they are finished, we will go up!"

Then came the relentless second wave of onslaught, once again consuming more than 4,000 hand-to-hand combat teams, and General Durant said with a depressed face that the rest of the troops were in a state of chaos, and even with the help of magic, they could not survive the last wave of impact.

Lorraine felt the same way, so he had already quietly sent the magic armor to the enemy's flank, and Ireen was also not idle, taking her miniature mage troops and those pilots, following Lorraine stealthily together, and then ......

One hundred and fifty strange golems suddenly appeared behind the side of the Norman cavalry, and little Karl looked at the Normans with a smug expression, "Soldiers! Turn on your armor and fight for the people! ”

After speaking, the first one got into the special magic armor, behind him was a large number of first-generation magic armor, and the six mages in the sky had already launched magic cover, and the first battle belonging to the magic armor began.

These very rudimentary-looking magic armor caught Reinhardt off guard, and he thought that the other party might have elite troops, such as powerful warbands, heavy cavalry, and a scarce number of steel golems, but he didn't expect that the other party actually sent a wooden golem!

Unfortunately, the swords and muskets of the light cavalry could not penetrate the shells of these golems, and even enchanted weapons could only pierce the shells of the armor of the magicians.

The desperate light cavalry tried their best, but they were still routed by the magic armor, and the hapless Reinhardt was led by his men to flee and Lorraine......

"Hell! Magic guide armor suffered heavy losses?? ”
