Chapter 343: The Cavalry of Destruction
If you can't keep it, you have to keep it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Alas, with a sigh, Dempsey gradually came up with some solutions:
"We can't defend the walls and gates, the targets are too big, and we lack the means to deal with people's artillery. Now, we can only take the initiative to see if we can make a surprise move, find a suitable time, and use the means of surprise attack to destroy the opponent's artillery. ”
His staff officer smiled bitterly and said, "My general, there are powerful white wolf cavalry in people's ranks, which are famous for all of Hindlaire, not to mention that there are eyes in the sky. What team can we send to avoid the detection of the other party, and then avoid the bite and resistance of the wolf cavalry? ”
Dempsey spread his hands: "Then let them bang outside?" ”
The staff officer was speechless.
Dempsey continued: "Send someone to the death, try it, and send two cavalry teams over, maybe you can return victorious." ”
……
It was getting late, and from the north gate of the Iron Nail Guard, a cavalry team of about three or four hundred men sneaked out of the city.
In order to avoid the surveillance of the griffin cavalry in the sky, the cavalry team selected by Dempsey specially waited until after dark to act, and did not even hit the torches, and the whole action was very secretive. After leaving the city from the north, they did not immediately turn to the location of the southern artillery position, but made a slight circle to find a more suitable position for a surprise attack.
After running out for two or three kilometers, it felt almost done, and the commander-in-chief of the cavalry began to give the order to turn.
At night, it is certainly impossible for cavalry to accelerate and run, especially if they dare not turn on even a little light, which is easy to get into trouble. They can only maintain the same speed as the infantry, following one of the warlocks who set off with them, using spells to guide them to the previously selected location on the map where they can carry out the raid.
After taking their positions, the whole army rested for a while, and the officers and warlocks made a final directional comparison. At this time, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and then, as long as the general who led the team gave an order, all the cavalry would light up the torches, and the warlock would also release a lighting spell, and all the cavalry would immediately enter a state of surprise attack, kill around the artillery position of the Dain Legion, put down the alchemy explosives, and then just wait to see the big fireworks.
Of course, these are just plans. Since it's a plan, there will be times when things go wrong.
For example, now.
A few cavalrymen on the periphery vaguely saw a miserable green light flashing in the darkness.
"You see?" One of the horsemen asked softly, his voice trembling slightly.
"Look, look...... See. The companion next to him didn't realize anything at first.
"What do you think that's that?"
"Wolf's Eyes." He still didn't think anything, it was too normal for wolves to be in the wasteland, but ordinary wolves, or small wolf packs, would definitely not dare to provoke the humans traveling with the group.
But the person who questioned at the beginning was obviously not so sluggish. He exclaimed, "Wolf Eyes?!" That's the wolf cavalry of White Wolf Castle! ”
As soon as this sound came out, the whole army was in an uproar, but it was already too late.
Brush Brush Brush ...... In the next moment, more than a dozen large balls of light appeared in mid-air, and under the effect of the light technique, the figure of the Iron Nail Gang cavalry, which had already been slightly rioting, was exposed!
Now, the formation of the army is even more chaotic. The cavalry general, who didn't know what was happening, had not yet had time to issue any orders, and saw that his subordinates were panicking, and there were many of them, who broke away from the formation directly, slapped their horses and began to run, and there was no direction in the chaos.
"Stop! Stop it! The whole team! He ignored the warlocks who followed the army to continue the discussion, and roared loudly, trying to control the troops.
All in vain!
Then, a series of wolf howls rang out!
The wolf's silence is terrible when it is silent and enduring, and when it strikes, its terrible howl is enough to make any enemy tremble!
The symphony of wolf howls, the strange cries of the wolf cavalry, and the screams of the cavalry of the Iron Nail Gang lasted less than an hour in the darkness of the night. At half past ten, the battle that broke out suddenly was completely over.
The surprise attack failed, but the position was calculated, and the cavalry of the Iron Nail Gang, which was ambushed, a team of three or four hundred people, was completely defeated within an hour.
In the middle of the night, there was no way to clean up the battlefield and count the results, but as far as the report made to Dain by Delin, who personally led two brigades and nearly 600 wolf cavalry to fight this battle afterwards, this battle was basically a complete annihilation of the enemy.
Then, he also ordered the wolf cavalry to light torches and quickly block all the two gates around the north and south gates of the Iron Nail Gang. Even if some of the Iron Nail Cavalry escaped in battle, they would not want to return to the city.
All this was seen by Dempsey, who was standing at the head of the city at night.
At night, at a distance of more than a thousand meters, Dempsey had no way to distinguish the specific situation on the battlefield, but he himself understood that the cavalry team he sent must be completely finished.
The staff officer was cold on the side, it was a full brigade of cavalry, and it was all over like that? His gaze looked at the general, whose face was cloudy.
As if sensing the mood of his staff officer, Dempsey turned his head and said, "You don't have much hope, right?" ”
The chief of staff exhaled: "So what now?" ”
"Get back into town. Today they bombarded the walls with artillery for a day, and tomorrow they will start marching. We don't want the walls and gates, but give them away. Get all the soldiers ready, tomorrow we will fight them in a street fight! In every street and every house, we must fight the enemy to the end, and we will not allow retreat until the last drop of blood is shed! ”
This is the final battle decision of the Dempsey Overseer!
The walls did not dare to defend because they could not resist the enemy's artillery. But the city can't let it, and entering the urban environment with complex terrain, the most famous wolf rider team in the Dane army can't play its ability. And Dempsey still has more than 3,000 infantry from the north in his hands, relying on the complex urban environment, fighting with the enemy in close blood, fighting for every inch of land, he doesn't believe that he can't stop Dane!
On the second day, the sound of artillery woke up the world before the morning sun. After a morning of artillery bombardment, which had destroyed many sections of the walls of the Iron Nail Guard, at noon, the legions from the White Wolf Fort finally came out with all their troops and poured into the city.
Just as Dempsey had arranged, at the breaches of the walls, at the gates that were already in tatters and had been knocked down by two or three strokes of the mage, the army at the Iron Nail Guard had not organized any decent defense. After a symbolic resistance, the walls and gates were surrendered.
Then, there was the brutal street fighting. (To be continued.) )
