The extortion and looting of the Fifth Legion, which almost provoked a popular uprising, was finally quelled by Lan Xian'er's three chapters of the covenant. Higg now has no manpower to take over and govern, so he can only let the Luojia River Plain maintain the existing system, even if there are many unreasonable, but this is Catherine's territory after all, after all, people will take it back, what reason does Higg have to help him govern? As long as the Luojia River Plain can provide him with supplies, there is no need to force the source of soldiers here, there are many refugees, as long as there is money, I am afraid that I will not be able to recruit soldiers? Think about the poor province of Orlando, with a population of more than 20 million, that has supported Montgosa's army of 400,000 for so many years, and the Lojia River Plain, which has an equally large population, is so rich, what is there to worry about, let Arad himself feel heartache!

When Higg's 70,000 troops arrived at the fortress of Ovara, the Arad coalition army was already in the city, but it was not yet fully deployed, and Higg and Corincha did not know that this was the time that Andrew had paid for with his life.

"Young marshal!" Corincha greeted him and said, "It seems that the Allad coalition forces are planning to focus on attacking here, and General Daniel's side has not yet found the armies of the Allah coalition army gathered!" ”

"How many people are gathered now?" Higg asked.

Colin Cha said: "The results of yesterday's investigation should be 1450,000 people, all of whom are from the Second War Zone!" ”

"Only a hundred thousand people?" Higg was surprised, "It's been more than twenty days since we entered the Luojia River Plain, isn't Arad in a hurry at all?" ”

"It is estimated that the heavy snow day prevented the logistics supply and baggage troops from being assembled on time!" Colin Cha smiled, "How many defenders did the young marshal give me this time?" ”

Higg smiled: "Fifty thousand reinforcements arrived in Owala, of which more than 30,000 were cavalry, and the rest of the reinforcements Daniel went there!" ”

Corincha said excitedly: "Great, young marshal, I'm about to suffocate these days!" ”

Higg stared at Corincha and smiled, "Oh, tell me, what are your plans?" ”

"I want to strike first! Take the initiative! Corincha laughed.

"We only have 80,000 people, and the other party has more than 100,000!" Higg was surprised, "We still have to stay at least 10,000 people, are you so sure?" ”

"Young marshal, I told you before I set out on the expedition that I must be worthy of your four million gold coins!" "I've asked Daniel for a thousand sleds, but it's a pity that your magician friend was stingy and didn't give me all of them!" And I also have more than three hundred sled cars that are used to deliver supplies in the rear! ”

"You're going to use a sled, a quick blow?" Higg asked, confused.

Colin Cha said proudly, "yes, it's a pity that there are too few sleigh cars!" Now there are only 3,000 vehicles, which can only transport more than 20,000 people! ”

"But why don't you want to think about skis?" Higg asked.

Corincha shook his head and said: "Skis can only slide down from the top, although there is a slope from Ovara Fortress to the enemy barracks, the slope is too small, and even if it can be used, the speed cannot be fast!" ”

Higg laughs: "My wife and I have specially modified our skis and replaced them with lighter and more durable cedar wood, which can slide even on flat ground!" This time I brought you 20,000 pairs! ”

"Really?" Corincha's eyes lit up and he said, "Hahaha, it turns out that the young marshal and the young lady have long thought of a snow surprise attack!" ”

"Not only is it true, except for the cavalry, the soldiers I brought are all skiing!" Higg laughed, "And I also used the sleigh to pull five hundred truckloads of supplies, and I didn't give Daniel a single cart, so you should rest assured!" ”

"Great, let's go!" Colin Char pulled Higg and said, "Young Marshal, I have already arranged the barracks for you, and the sand table has been prepared, let's study it well!" ”

……

Preparations went on for a day and a night, and by the early hours of the third day, taking advantage of the faint moonlight and snow, all the soldiers who participated in the battle were draped in white shawls, and their horses and cattle were wrapped in white sheepskin jackets.

With 30,000 cavalry, 20,000 ski-based halberdiers, and 20,000 crossbowmen on sleds, the fortress of Ovara almost poured out of its nest and began to charge the enemy camp more than 3,000 meters away. That's right, it's the charge!

Unlike in the past, night raids were carried out by large armies that quietly approached the enemy camp before starting to charge, and from the moment they left the fortress, they began to charge, because skis and sleds required a long distance to reach the speed of the charge, and the charge distance of three thousand meters did not consume much physical strength of the soldiers on the slopes and sliding downwind. The enemy has planted a lot of sentries on the road, and even if the sentries can detect such a charge in time, they may not have time to report it.

The enemy's camp was on a flat land of more than ten square kilometers, surrounded by a high fence, and ordinary attackers who wanted to attack the camp had to enter through the gate. But Higg's plan of battle changed the minds of ordinary people, and it was not the cavalry that charged at the front, but three hundred sled carts, on which were not people, but filled with tightly slapped snow, and the drivers drove the cattle and rushed to the fence wall with all their might.

The enemy camp sounded the horn of the alarm, followed by the loud sound of the sled crashing against the fence wall, hundreds of meters of the fence wall was leveled, the snow on the sled was scattered around the fence wall, and the wounded and stinging cattle dragged the overturned sled cart to charge the enemy camp even more desperately.

The first to rush is of course the cavalry, and the 30,000 cavalry who have already charged up are unstoppable, and they will cut down when they see someone! The thousands of enemy troops on duty at night had no time to react, and they never imagined that the main point of the enemy's attack would be a fence wall rather than a well-defended gate.

Behind the cavalry through the fence wall were the sled carts, nearly three thousand sled carts, twenty thousand crossbowmen, each car was equipped with a soldier who drove the car, and the other seven were only responsible for shooting, and there was no need to worry about whether there were enough arrows in the arrow magazine, the sled cart was full of arrows, and the crossbowmen could reach out and get supplies!

The last to pass were the spearmen using skis, equipped with twin guns and at the same time supporting tools for skiing.

Cavalry, crossbowmen, and spearmen cooperate with each other, and there is only one characteristic, that is, fast! So fast that the enemy has no idea where his opponent is coming from, when he appeared in front of him, slashed his neck with a cavalry machete, or plunged a spear into his chest, or when an arrow went into his chest and back!

A dozen square kilometers of camp, although large, is simply a piece of cake for this fast-moving army. As a rule, the enemy's reaction was fairly rapid, the front battalion was attacked, and resistance and counterattacks were already organized in the middle and rear of the large battalion. Where to counterattack, where the enemy is, the snow-white cloak and the vast earth merge into one, the enemy is like stealth! I want to kill the enemy, but I can't find the enemy; found the enemy, but could not pursue it; I want to shoot an arrow, but the opponent's speed is too fast, and I miss my own people more often. Although their own cavalry has also formed an array, they have not yet charged, where is the opponent of the other side?

As a result, more than 100,000 people were attacked by 70,000 people, and more than 100,000 people were slaughtered by 70,000 people, and this massacre began to spread from the front camp to the middle of the main camp and spread to all sides. A large number of the enemy did not have their armor and equipment and died under the butcher's knives of the cavalry. The tents were crackling and burning, the horses were neighing, swords were clattering, arrows were whistling, screams were screaming, shouts were shouting, scolding were ...... It was gathered into a battlefield symphony, and in the raging fire, it became the accompaniment of the dance of death.

No one has ever experienced such a method of warfare, ghostly speed, killing the enemy in rapid motion, and each spearman is even faster and more agile than the cavalry. The crossbowmen only shoot arrows on the sled cart, and whether the arrows they shoot hit the target or not, they will immediately load their crossbows and continue to look for the next target, not seeking high hits, but only high-speed firing and suppression!

Boom, a huge fireball overturned a sleigh cart, and the location where the fireball was launched immediately more than a dozen arrows slashed into the air, and then it ended with a scream from the magician!

With a pop, the spearmen who had no time to dodge collided with the opponent's cavalry, and the huge inertia knocked the war horse to the ground, and another spear and halberd slid at high speed, and the spear stabbed into the chest of the cavalry who fell to the ground with the horse!

The cavalry at the forefront of the Fifth Regiment constantly cut through the local camps, rushed into the camps and began to slaughter and trample, some of them directly overturned the camps, covered the enemy soldiers who were still dressed in tents, and then handed them over to the sled carts that followed.

Even if there is no crossbowman, the huge sleigh cart is also a huge lethal weapon for the enemy, this behemoth makes the spearmen and even the cavalry dare not approach easily, the previous crossbowmen phalanx need the spearmen phalanx to cover, but now it is not needed, it is completely independent combat, and it is a mobile independent operation.

The cavalry began to pass through the middle camp and interspersed with the rear camp, and the enemy, who had no idea the opponent's tactics, finally retreated, but it was too late, the chaotic battalion was still fighting fiercely, and it was impossible for the organized team to retreat effectively, but it was their own retreat signal that completely broke the will of their own soldiers to resist.

If you can't organize a retreat effectively, then disperse the small detachments to evacuate this damn place. The enemy troops who began to flee desperately backwards were even more chaotic, the officers could not find where their soldiers were, the soldiers could not find the direction of retreat, everyone just watched where others ran, and they ran wherever they went, and the fence around them to protect their camp became a roadblock to their quick escape at this time.

The enemy camp, which had some resistance before, had completely turned one-sided since the moment Narujin retreated. The army led by Corincha did not know where to pursue, and in which direction there were many people running, so their own men killed in whichever direction they reached the fence, and saw more people gathered there to climb the fence and become the target of the crossbowmen.

The massacre lasted until dawn, and for more than three hours, a dozen square kilometers of camp became a huge slaughterhouse, and the results were not counted until the afternoon.

"56,000 enemies have been killed, 18,000 have been captured, nearly 20,000 horses have been captured, and countless supplies are being loaded onto sleighs and transported back! We lost 4,800 killed, 3,300 seriously wounded, more than 400 missing, and 900 sleds destroyed! ”

Corincha excitedly placed the simple report of the results on Higg's table, and Higg smiled and said only one sentence: "You have left us without a fight this winter!" ”
