The Red Turban Sand Pirate Cavalry is best known for their extreme speed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Verina had only heard of the name of the Red Turban Sand Pirate Cavalry, and she had not been particularly prepared before. However, the reason why I was able to feel that something was wrong when the opponent was still far away, and when the yellow sand that was rolling with the rush of the team was still in the field of vision and people could not see clearly, was purely because of some kind of experience.

Just by stepping on the dust of the army, she can make a correct judgment, which is undoubtedly a testament to Verina's ability.

In the face of the soldiers who had already set up a defensive formation, these cavalrymen armed with scimitars did not rashly attack, but just roared around the perimeter to beat their horses.

If they were still queuing up to enter the city gate, I am afraid that the hundreds of people stranded outside would have to be stabbed by those guys who are very good at seizing fighters when they have their backs to those sand pirate cavalry, and they may even be chased into the city from behind by these cavalry.

Although the north gate has not been closed yet, the more than 400 soldiers of the garrison corps who are still outside the city dare not continue to go into the city. Surrounded by these cavalry gates, rash moves can easily be seized to make a surprise attack, which will lead to quite bad consequences. They could only carefully form a rather meticulous defensive formation, guarding against these cavalry outside.

In fact, there were only about six or seven hundred sand pirate cavalry surrounding them. Although there are a lot of people, the most powerful thing about the sand pirate cavalry is not to attack the enemy's formation and fight head-on, so using the sand pirate cavalry is equivalent to using the blade to chop stones.

They are powerful in terms of mobility and endurance, and their ability to break through chaotic battles, and not many classes can defeat them in sports warfare.

When the soldiers of the garrison set up their defensive formations, these Red Turban Sand Pirate Cavalry really didn't have the ability to overwhelm them.

These cavalry were now just around the city gate constantly circling the defensive garrison, blowing a flurry of whistles from time to time, constantly creating pressure on the defenders, but they did not take the initiative to attack.

Standing at the head of the city, Verina's expression was already very nervous. She could see the enemy's purpose: to use these hundreds of cavalry as a deterrent!

"Legion Commander...... What do we do now? Even Paran next to him could see this, "The enemy's large army is coming, and they will definitely attack the city when the time comes." Let Lieutenant Colonel Hyypia take those troops who have not yet had time to enter the city, and hurry in while the enemy's army has not yet arrived. ”

"Nope." Verina shook her head, "As soon as the soldiers under our city move, those light cavalry will immediately seize the opportunity to rush forward. When the time comes, it will be difficult for the soldiers who are retreating to the city to resist the onslaught of the other party, and if they rush into the city, it will not be so easy to drive them out. ”

"Then ......," said Paran in disbelief, "Legionnaire...... You...... Do you want to ignore the people below and just close the city gates? ”

The reason why Paran looked so unbelievable was because the idea he had just made was completely inconsistent with Verina's usual warm and strong appearance and style, and the decision to abandon the lives of hundreds of soldiers under his command was simply cruel.

Verina didn't speak, but the silence was an answer.

Of course, she hadn't given this cruel order yet, but in fact, she was already thinking about it in her head.

She didn't want to do this, her charm to soldiers and subordinates in the past was not pretended, not to mention loving soldiers like children, at least not as a last resort, and she was not willing to do such a thing as sacrificing the lives of hundreds of people in vain.

However, she is a qualified battlefield commander.

In this battle for the defense of Shawan Harbor, which is very likely to break out, the North Gate must not be lost. She had abandoned the inner city, abandoned the stronghold outside the city, and the ultimate goal was to hold on to the gate.

The North Gate must not be lost! Compared to this goal, the lives of hundreds of soldiers are far less important than this.

The reason why she has not given the order to close the city gates is that she is still waiting. She wanted to see if things could be uplifted.

The end result is still no.

Ten minutes later, Bills, the captain of the city's harbor guard, had arrived under the city gate with several hundred of his men, and when the battle with the line of defense that Verena had placed on the street south of the gate began, a large force under the smoke and dust was also visible outside the city gate.

Standing at the head of the city, Verina looked at the past, this army from Marlon Manor numbered at least two thousand, counting the red turban sand pirate cavalry that arrived one step earlier, the total number of this army was close to three thousand, and counting the port guards behind him, the total strength was definitely more than three thousand.

Palan, the adjutant of the corps commander, was so out of shape that he scolded: "******! Marlon, this guy pulled out all the soldiers in his lair, right? Three thousand?! Oh, my God! ”

Verina also had two thousand men in her hands, but the concept between the two was completely different. The port guards in the city can say that they have been fighting in Shawan Harbor for two or three months, and they can be regarded as knowing each other. But these Marlon armies under the city are all out-and-out soldiers! In terms of the quality of individual soldiers and the combat quality of the legion, I don't know how high it is compared to the garrison corps under Verina!

Seeing such a comparison of strengths, Verina knew that she would definitely not be able to hold on. If they can rely on the entire Shawan Port, maybe the two sides can still fight, but in front of Ma Long's main force, and there are hundreds of port guards in the city behind are also enemies of them, and it is too difficult to rely on a northern gate to defend the city.

"Three days." Verina suddenly spat out two words, and she didn't know who she was talking to, or if she was simply saying it to herself: "Just hold it for three days." ”

Three days is not an impossible task, but it still seems difficult.

The three or four hundred soldiers who had not had time to enter the city brought by Hypia under the city were visibly shaken after seeing the thousands of enemy troops outside. Especially when six artillery pieces were launched from the opponent's military formation, it was even more terrifying.

"Boom!" It was not the opponent's artillery that struck first, but the two garrison cannons placed at the head of the city.

At such a distance, even the cannons that were erected high on the city walls were obviously not within the range of fire. This round of shelling only represents a little symbolism and calms the soldiers - we have artillery too.

But how much practical significance can it have? The devil knows. (To be continued.) )
