Early the next morning, the casualty statistician reported to Ma Chao the number of people who died in the fire and were injured. [Ran^Text^Library] More than 14,000 people were buried in the fire, and more than 9,000 were wounded. The rest of the soldiers were fine, just a little frightened. But the casualties have become like this, Ma Chao can't suppress the anger in his heart.

More than 10,000 people were burned to death, and more than 9,000 were injured, which was too large for Ma Chao, who only had 50,000 horses. The followers' own troops are now only more than 37,000 alive, and only 28,000 are combat-ready. It can be said that Galahad's fire directly wasted half of his combat effectiveness.

Now that his side is crippled, he naturally can't chase and kill Galahad at will. In case that bastard makes another such a play, or an entire ambush or something, it is estimated that his fate will definitely not be much better than Luo Cheng. Therefore, after suffering heavy losses, Ma Chao sent people back to report while continuing to follow Galahad's footsteps from afar.

Although he fell for Galahad's plan and lost nearly half of his soldiers and horses, Ma Chao still had to take his soldiers and horses to chase and kill Galahad. It doesn't matter how effective his troops are, as long as he can cooperate with Xue Rengui to block the army of 200,000 Galahad, then he will be considered to have completed the task. When the time comes, whether it is a strong attack or a slow strangulation, the 50,000 cavalry on Xue Rengui's side can carry the lion's head.

After a few more days of pursuit, the three soldiers and horses led by Ma Chao and Xue Rengui finally left Galahad's army of 200,000 on a plain. It was April 21, the fifth year of the Beacon Continent Era, and on this day, the cavalry of the Beichen Army of more than 70,000 people met on this plain, and in the center of them was the 200,000 elite army of Galahad.

From the flooding of the Erbu River to Luo Chengzhong's death on the battlefield, the hatred of Beichen Kingdom in the country where the sun never sets has been deeply rooted, and it can't be solved. Before the confrontation with the country where the sun never sets, a handful of water caused the Beichen army to lose 2 million soldiers. After the confrontation, although the soldiers on both sides were killed and wounded, the sun never set, and the country has not fallen any generals until now. After fighting for so long, the highest official position to kill the enemy is only a general who commands 100,000 troops. But can that be compared to Luo Cheng, the commander of the Royal First Cavalry Army?

Now, 70,000 iron cavalry not only surrounded the 200,000 soldiers of the country where the sun never sets, but also blocked the enemy generals here. As long as they kill or capture Galahad, then the two of them will be able to give an account to their king.

However, the two of them looked at the camp in front of them and still felt a headache. The camp is not very large, and it is estimated that it can accommodate exactly 200,000 troops. However, the five-meter-high wall really made the vast number of cavalry officers feel weak. The most important thing is that there are trenches several meters wide and three or four meters deep on all sides of this camp. Ma Chao recognized whose masterpiece at first glance, and only Galahad could get along with such a shameless way.

After abandoning their horses, the 70,000 cavalry soldiers began to cut down trees to forge ladders and charge chariots. Prepare a little for the battle that is coming later. Let the cavalry dismount and attack the camp, this is also a matter of no choice. Whoever made Galahad's camp so solid and tall may not be able to break away with the charge of his war horses.

And the infantry who are good at siege is still far away, and it will take six or seven days to get there. Besides, when the infantry comes, there will be almost no cavalry. How could the cavalry of the Beichen Army, who had been chasing Galahad been chasing after Galahad for several days, stand it, and finally gave up the fat to the infantry, so what use did we have!

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen gave up the horse warfare they were most familiar with, wore armor and carried ladders, pushed rushing carts, and slaughtered towards the camp of the army of the country where the sun never sets. It is said that warlocks have specializations, and as cavalrymen, where have they ever done the work of dismounting and attacking fortifications. Therefore, during the march, the phalanx of the cavalry column of the Beichen Army was no better than the infantry of the Beichen Army. In addition, the cavalry are all small round shields, and compared with the large infantry shields, they are all inferior to the sky.

As soon as they entered the attack range of the soldiers of the Sun Never Sets, the cavalry of the Beichen Army was attacked by the first wave. Tens of thousands of archers fired the long-stored bows and arrows in their hands, and after the rain of arrows flew into the sky, they instantly fell on the heads of the Beichen army. Because the shield was not as wide as the infantry shield, when the arrows rained down, the Beichen army suffered heavy losses. More than 1,000 soldiers were shot dead and many more were wounded.

However, a small rain of arrows still couldn't stop the Beichen Army's advance. The five huge phalanxes were still slowly moving forward, and countless arrows were flying overhead, making the soldiers below each entangled to death. After all, no one wants to be favored by those flying arrows.

After several waves of arrows from the soldiers of the country where the sun never sets, the Beichen army quickly rushed to the front of the camp. Subsequently, the formation of 50,000 people dispersed in an instant, becoming a large number of squad formations. The ladder was also carried on the camp wall for the first time, and the rushing car was still moving slowly under the impetus of dozens of soldiers. This punch is too heavy, weighing thousands of pounds, and the wooden wheels of the punch are not made by professionals. Therefore, whenever you encounter a small pothole, it is easy to get stuck in the rush, and it takes a long time to get it done.

It was precisely because the weight of the punch was too heavy that Xue Rengui immediately stopped the manufacture of the remaining six or seven punch trucks after seeing it. Only two remained, and the rest were made to crash into the wood. There is no difference between hitting the wood and the rushing car and the engineering cone, they are both siege weapons used for ramming, the only difference is that the attack power and weight of the three are different. The siege cones and the rushing carts are the big ones in the thousands of catties, and they can't move forward without wheels. The impact of wood is different, the impact of wood only weighs 1,000 catties, and some even weigh less than 1,000 catties.

Because of its light weight, the striking wood is only tied with ropes and carried by a dozen or so wrestlers, so that it can be hit directly after reaching the city gate. It can also be placed on top of the frame, with several crossbars on the frame, and the striking wood is hung on it for impact. However, the light weight also means that the attack power is poor. Those ramming siege weapons are all heavier and more powerful.

After the ladder was erected on the camp wall, the officers and men of the Beichen Army immediately began to rush up the ladder. And objects such as hitting wood, driven by the soldiers of the Beichen Army, continuously hit the gate of the camp, or the rest of the camp. Countless Beichen soldiers gathered under the camp walls, and knights with spears kept poking at the enemy above. Although the cavalry spear is only a little four meters long, combined with the height of the soldiers, there is still a chance to poke the enemy. And the archers are compared to the archers on the walls of the camp.

The battle was fierce, and many of the soldiers in the Beichen army were killed by the enemy on the camp wall. On the camp wall, corpses also poured out of the camp from time to time. There are also many soldiers of the Beichen Army who are very fierce and unusually climb the wall, and engage in life-and-death battles with the surrounding enemies in the passage. However, under the enemy's stubborn resistance, the soldiers who climbed the camp wall could not successfully occupy a certain area.

The first dismounted battle of the Beichen cavalry lasted two hours before it ended. Although it was only two hours, the Beichen Army still suffered nearly 10,000 casualties. This can be regarded as making Xue Rengui feel distressed to death, damn, this is 10,000 elite cavalry. In a field battle, it would not be difficult to defeat an enemy of 50,000. But now it has fallen on the road of attacking, and as for the results in exchange, it is estimated that it is not very good.

After all, cavalry is cavalry, and years of cavalry training make them not know how to dismount and attack fortifications. Blindly imitating infantry formations can only learn the surface. Compared to the infantry, people are the real good hands. Therefore, it is not easy to achieve this situation. Of course, this is also because the camp of the army that never sets is not high, and there are few guarding weapons in the camp. If the cavalry were allowed to dismount and attack the city, it would be estimated that the losses would be heavy, and perhaps even the city walls might not be able to climb up.

Under the huge casualties, Xue Rengui also had to give up the idea of continuing to let the cavalry dismount and attack the fortifications. Instead, cavalry was sent around to block the entire camp, and from time to time a few arrows were placed inside. On the other hand, he sent a messenger to ask for help from the infantry of the Beichen Army behind. There are 200,000 people in the camp of the country where the sun never sets, which is not at all capable of 70,000 cavalry. If it was in the plains, without a camp to block it, even if there were 500,000 people in the country where the sun never set, Xue Rengui would directly lead his troops to rush and kill.

The army stopped attacking, and the soldiers of the country where the sun never set began to repair the damaged camp. For a while, the two armies were at peace with each other.

At this time, far away in the front-line camp where the sun does not set and the Xia country are fighting, Will angrily threw a battle report in his hand on the table. My face was full of displeasure, and the group of generals standing below me were terrified. I don't know what kind of thing came from the battlefield on the Eastern Front, which actually made the king angry like this. Could it be that the Eastern Front was taken by the Beichen Kingdom? Impossible!

In fact, it was almost the same, on the Eastern Front, Galahad fought with the Beichen Army, and had taken advantage of it before. But he didn't expect that the Beichen Army, which had always numbered as high as 500,000, actually crossed the river and came to the rear of Wentier City. Because Galahad transferred most of the troops in the city and refused to defend the valley, the city of Wentil was taken by the Beichen army. Now Galahad had begun to retreat south, intending to make a detour back to the city of Silon.

When Will saw this battle report, the anger in his heart was very great. Why did the gas Galahad not pay attention to it, how could the city garrisoned by the 200,000 army be successfully attacked by the Beichen army. Of course, Galahad moved most of his army out of the city and went to the valley to intercept the Beichen army. Will agrees with this in his heart, and the defenders of the city must not only defend the city. If you give up even outside the city, the city will definitely not be able to hold it. Only by relying on dangerous places outside the city or encamping in the city, echoing the inside of the city, this is a good decision to defend the city.

Galahad meant, and Vir also understood, that he was holding on to the city and guarding the valley with the city as his back. In this way, even if the valley is taken by the enemy, as long as you ensure that the loss of troops is not too serious, you can continue to defend the city. And the Beichen army must continuously conquer the heavily guarded valley and the city of Wentil, in order to completely open the passage for the Beichen army to enter the southern part of the country where the sun never sets.

Originally, Galahad's plan was very good, and the Beichen army had to pay a huge price to enter the southern hinterland of the country on which the sun never sets. However, I didn't expect that the Beichen Army had an army of 500,000 out of nowhere, and appeared in the rear of Wintier City along the Erbuna River, and also successfully attacked and took Wintier City. In this way, Galahad's position suddenly became awkward. There was originally a lot of position, but now that Wentyr City has been lost, it has directly become a sandwich biscuit. Pierced by the Beichen Army, Galahad had no choice but to lead his troops and horses to retreat in a hurry.

As long as one step is taken at night, then the two exits of the valley will be blocked by the Beichen army, and Galahad may have to starve to death in the valley. Now Galahad successfully led his troops to retreat, but Vir was still very worried. You must know that there are 100,000 cavalry in the Beichen army, and Galahad's army does not have a cavalry at all, and all the cavalry in the country is now gathered on the battlefield on the Western Front.

In case Galahad led an army of 200,000 to retreat and was caught up by the 100,000 Beichen cavalry who had been pursued, then the entire Xilong Territory would almost become undefended fat. And as soon as the Xilong Collar is lost, there is no danger in the eastern part of the Els Collar, and the Beichen Army can directly swallow the Els Collar in one bite. The most important thing is that the country now has an army of 5 million, including more than 3 million regular troops, all of which are gathered here. And the grain and grass of the army is behind him, in the city of Graca, led by Els.

At that time, once the Beichen Army marches westward and comes to attack Elsling, there is no way to stop it on its side. Now facing the four million troops of the Xia State is already very difficult, you must know that the Xia Kingdom has gathered 500,000 iron cavalry in the west. If the troops of the Beichen Kingdom are added, then the country can only give up the Els Territory and go north to evacuate.

And all this is caused by the navy, and the country that never sets spends a lot of money every year to support this million-strong navy. As a result, the 500,000-strong army of the Beichen Army crossed the river and marched westward, directly attacking the city of Wentil, and the navy did not know anything. Damn, why do you have these navy, you might as well have a dog. At the very least, when the enemy comes, the dog can bark twice to tell the big guy that someone is coming.

On the spot, Weir directly ordered the dismissal of the current commander of the navy and the reappointment of a general who had studied naval warfare as the commander. You provide the latest, fastest and most complete free novel updates【】
