The First Arrival Chapter 8 The Nords Who Are Not Good at Horse War
Nord is located in the northern part of the continent, large and small ridges are covered with Nord kingdoms, coupled with their admiration of individual combat skills, fierce nature, their infantry combined with huge brute force and superb combat skills, can be called the strongest in the continent. In particular, the selection of Nord's royal guards is extremely strict, and each royal guard has more than thirty years of seniority, which can be described as the elite of the elite. At the same time, the kingdom was heavily wooded, which inhibited the development of archers.
The advantages and disadvantages of the Nord kingdom are obvious, and if you plan carefully, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
The reason King Haraus withdrew so hastily was that the Nords in the north were about to take Fort Repoleet, and he concealed this news from the Count and the people, because if he did not do so, the morale would surely suffer.
Yi Ye took the No. 34 centaur, the team can be said to have grown a lot, and he is equipped with a delicate Germanic sword, Rhodok's broad shield and light crossbow, and the armor is also replaced with the shabby iron armor that the nobles do not want, this iron sheet is only a thin layer, not much better than leather armor, and the helmet is the standard "pot head" of mercenaries. Mr. Tojames's blessing, the dinar of the Yiye pocket rose again to more than 100 dinars.
For the new mercenaries, Yi Ye would not have much hope for them, and he joined because of this injury. As the saying goes, "Well, the scar forgets the doctor." He still understands this truth, and once the bond of connection is broken, no one can say what will happen. On the other hand, he already has some doubts about whether he is capable of being a captain. The old man replaced the new one, and Yi Ye couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Yi Ye followed the kingdom's large army to the north.
Even if the mercenaries were cheated by this ruthless king, no team dared to refuse the order, after all, the military disparity was there.
Upon arrival at Uxhall, the large force made a brief pause. King Harauth and the counts marched north overnight with a thousand knights, three thousand heavy cavalry, and five thousand light cavalry.
This time, Harlaus was willing to lead the charge.
Because this is their main battlefield.
They hardly suffered defeat on the plains.
Unlike siege warfare, on the plains, this is when the lion shows its might.
A few days of rushing made Yi Ye a little unbearable, even though his equipment was light enough, he still had more than ten catties. He couldn't imagine how those hoplites did it. This long road, Yi Ye has walked through gritted teeth, he is not a person who easily compromises with fate.
Haraus was very talented in warfare, and nearly 10,000 cavalry were divided into 100 squads by Haraus, each team numbered hundreds of eighty people, and each team charged neatly, staggered and methodical, which could not be done without years of rigorous training.
The Nords' flying axes were unable to hold these fish-nimble cavalry units, and their huge two-handed axes could not be used in the face of the heavy cavalry's cavalry spears of more than two meters, and after some of the troops blocked the way of the cavalry with their bodies, the large army successfully withdrew. The brave Nords may be in for a nightmare tonight.
By the time the large force arrived, the kingdom's cavalry had already repelled the Nords who were attacking Fort Repolet.
It stands to reason that they should support the threat of Vekia in the northeast, but the Earls of Sweden, Count de Grana, and Count Stammar, who did not follow the marshal, have been in a stalemate with the enemy's large forces for several days.
Although Vekia has a strong long-range strike ability, the soldiers in the front row do not resist the beating, so their battle line is stretched very long. In addition, he has lived in a cold region for a long time, and he cannot adapt to the warm climate of the Swadia Kingdom for a while, and his combat power cannot be fully exerted.
Haraus's ambition drove him to make a bold decision.
Only 5,000 hussars were sent to harass Vekia's logistics forces.
This puzzled the Count of Sweden, who was waiting for reinforcements, and they began to question King Haraus. Of course, the Count of Sweden, who knew King Harlaus best, knew that this foolish old king wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue and hit the Nords fiercely, but entering that mountain area was equivalent to entering the Longtan Tiger's Den.
Once again, Haraus ordered the remaining 2,000 mercenaries to take the lead and probe the enemy.
The mercenaries can only take the plunge.
"The only way into the ridge is a large forest underneath, and if the Nords set up an ambush there, the consequences would be dire." Fatis whispered to Yi Ye.
"There is no way back, Mr. Fatis."
"Now all we can do is pray silently."
"Yes, sir, you are right, may God bless us......"
The mercenaries all looked at the forest from afar, as if they had seen their graves.
The mercenary forces still began to advance.
It wasn't until the mercenaries completely disappeared in sight that Haraus gave the order to start advancing.
After entering the forest, there was no surprise attack by the crazy Nords as expected, but left obvious blood stains that continued to spread over the mountain. This large amount of blood could not be pretended, and upon investigation by Mr. James it was indeed fresh human blood.
"It seems that the remaining large army of the Nords has a lot of wounded, and they may really have a battle if they take advantage of the victory and pursue them."
After meeting with King Harlaus, the counts began to discuss the present form, some of which were directly pursued, some of which were retreating to be reconciled, and the final decision had to be made by King Harlaus.
After a long time, King Harauth announced:
"O my brave soldiers, the enemy is ahead, let us fight that great battle once again, and charge for Svadia."
"It's an honor." The soldiers said loudly.
The high-spirited soldiers moved and headed for the unknown ridge.
This time, the kingdom's troops and mercenaries were on the same front.
