Act One Hundred and Nine. Change
"Make those Wendland's grandsons look good!"
Viscount Wellington looked at the main battlefield, the silver-white torrent was hit by a red meteor, followed by a black wave, and the two armies were entangled together, presenting a chaotic scene. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the other side, the Wendland army, which was surrounded by the Astor army, after organizing several breakouts, also died without a problem, and was gradually eaten away by the Astor light cavalry in black uniforms, and now more than 2,000 Wendland knights seem to be dying here.
"Strengthen the suppression of the reinforcements in the rear of Wendland, and we can't let them reach the main battlefield!"
Towering from Trasil, the sprout of the World Tree, countless meteors shot out, cutting through graceful arcs and falling above the misty forest, the archers relied on their spiritual vision ability and the inducement of the arrows, and the scorching arrows they shot fell no more than five meters on a thousand yards, which was far more powerful than Wendland's magic cannon, and until this war, the Northern Rangers had not even considered such a use.
It's all thanks to that Shiloh. Ian Gray.
"Master Strass, summoned for your summons...... Viscount Erich has tragically died. ”
The owl glides silently through the falling arrows to the tops of the World Tree Buds and lands on Viscount Wellington's forearm. Viscount Wellington pulled out the briefing, his eyes widened in surprise at first, and then slowly reported to Vera Hill, who was sitting upright behind him.
"Ekrio made a move?"
Verahir raised her eyebrows, her first reaction was that the enemy's general had gone into battle, otherwise Viscount Erich, who was in the silver rank, would not have died in the chaos so quickly, but after getting Viscount Wellington to shake his head negatively, she fell into deep thought.
In this era, the role of the strong above the gold level in the battlefield is much smaller, because once they appear on the battlefield, it means that the enemy can transfer firepower to attack other troops, so people like Verahir and Ekrio, who are both legion commanders and the strongest, will not be on the front line very much, but will only sit in the rear, in the form of a deterrent.
"Viscount Erich was besieged by several silver-level powerhouses on the other side, and was finally defeated by ......"
Viscount Wellington added that he and Viscount Erich had known each other for many years, and although the relationship between the two was not close friends, it was also very close, and he did not feel good when he heard the news of Viscount Erich's death.
"But now the situation is in our favor, for now Wendland's reinforcements are blocked in the forest, and their surrounded troops are unable to break through our blockade, as long as there are no contingencies, victory in this battle is already in the pocket of Aster."
"It's too early to tell, Kelvin."
Verahill stared at the map spread out on the table in front of her, marking the locations of Astelle and the known forces of Wendland with a variety of different counters, and she stared at the map for a moment, trying to find some clues in the movements of the two armies, but before she could grasp the clue, Princess Elyfils, beside her, spoke first.
"Lord Strass, Lord Wellington, how many Wendland's troops are there that can be confirmed on the battlefield now?"
Silence had been on the line since Shiloh had gone to the front, but Princess Elyfils now asked a question that seemed worthless.
"Well, the Wendland cavalry that was surrounded and came to the rescue was about two thousand, and the number of those who were blocked by our shelling at the edge of the forest is about the same number, what's wrong?"
Viscount Wellington looked at the map and calculated, and then asked rhetorically, he saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess frowned when she heard his words, as if she had thought of something bad.
"The strength of the Eastern Front Army of Wendlan in this misty forest is about 10,000 people, and now the army that has a clear movement is only 4,000 people, even if you count the wiped out and scattered in the forest, it is only 6,000 people, so where are the remaining 4,000 people?"
The army invested by Astor in the main battlefield is about 2,500 people, there are about 500 people stationed in the base camp, and the remaining 2,000 people are led by Viscount Wimble, ready to meet the reinforcements that Wendland rushed to at any time.
"Even if the enemy's movements are unknown, under our firepower, Wendland will not be able to bypass the artillery bombardment to come to reinforcements, I think they may be holding their troops in the rear and waiting for our ambush to appear before making plans."
Viscount Wellington knew what would happen if the enemy had an army of 4,000 men, but he was equally confident in the current situation, and if he coerced, he would risk missing the opportunity.
"Indeed, now that the battle is stalemate, any move by either side will cause the other side to counterattack, and we can't just let the soldiers fight a war of attrition with Wendland, I think it's better to let Lord Wimble send a few teams to search these places, if the Wendland army will make a roundabout sneak attack, then I think this is the most likely."
Princess Eliefils said, marking a few points on the map, which was densely wooded, and although it was within the surveillance range of the World Tree Buds, the terrain was too difficult for cavalry to pass through, so Astor did not use it as a key area to focus on at first.
"Is it here...... If Wendland's cavalry has already attacked, then the remaining infantry can indeed bypass here to flank our troops on the main battlefield, and then we are very likely to be attacked by Wendland...... It's just that simple infantry is difficult to fight against light cavalry, will Wendelan spend such a big price to attack here? ”
Viscount Wellington was surprised after a little deliberation by Princess Eliefils, but after a second thought, he made a different opinion.
"If this is the only way to break the game, then Ekrio of Wendland will definitely not ignore it, Kelvin, let Signus send two teams of light horsemen to these two places to reconnoitre, and report back as soon as there is a situation."
In the end, Verahir opened her mouth to end the argument, and she also noticed these two places, but Verahir did not expect Her Royal Highness the princess to notice so quickly, judging from her previous performance, this princess seems to be more suitable for commanding on the battlefield than fighting for power in the court.
As soon as Verahir gave the order, a herald hurried to the command headquarters with a text message.
"Report to your lordship, on the west side of the forest, a cavalry has appeared, breaking through our defenses and heading towards Lord Hartman's forces!"
"Cavalry? Could it be the main force of Wendland...... Wait, you say there's only one? Isn't there any other infantry or something? ”
Viscount Wellington was shocked, he snatched the briefing, only to see that it was indeed written that a Wyndland cavalry was breaking through the blockade and galloping towards the main battlefield, along the way to Astrel.
"Yes, only one cavalry, and...... According to the descriptions of the attacked allies, the leader was a knight armed with a halberd, wearing red armor and a pair of horns on his helmet......"
There was a tremor in the herald's voice, and he continued.
“...... He was three times faster than the average cavalryman!! (To be continued.) )
