Chapter 897: The Encirclement Is Detected and Used by the Enemy, That Is a Disaster
The night of the battlefield is accompanied by sneak attacks, killings, and ambushes.
After sneaking up on three mines and two lumberyards, the first wolf cavalry was finally surrounded a few kilometers from the enemy's castle.
The enemy sent almost all the cavalry, endured the pain of the sneak attack on the lumberyard, and laid two huge encirclements on the steppe under the cover of night.
At the darkest of the morning, the two ambush circles began to shrink, squeezing the enemy in the darkness.
After an hour of steady advance, the cavalry in the encirclement had spotted the enemy hiding in the lumberyard.
A wolf howl suddenly soared into the night sky, and the wolf cavalry came out of the lumber yard and quietly formed a sharp formation.
The cavalry on the encirclement was ready for battle, waiting for the enemy's desperate breakthrough.
Here are no longer cannon fodder hussars.
Inside, lancers armed with light armor and spears are tasked with charging at the enemy after breaking through in the direction they choose. Their horses are professionally trained and will not be afraid of the wolves.
Thirty meters away from the outer layer are the archers and javelinmen, the archers are responsible for shooting the enemy who break through the first layer of encirclement from a distance, and the javelinmen are responsible for dealing with the approaching enemy.
A fire broke out in the lumberyard, and in the light of the fire, the wolf cavalry charged forward.
The lancers rode in groups of five and simultaneously launched a hedge.
Groups of lancers rushed forward from several directions, taking advantage of their numerical superiority to the extreme.
It's just that the wolf cavalry has been out of the sight of humans for so long that some important information has dissipated in the long river of history.
The lancers held their spears flat and tried to hit the orc knight's body with the first blow.
The two sides were closer, and there were still twenty meters to go, and the lancers could see by the light of the fire where the orc's leather armor was damaged.
They quickly adjusted the tip of the spear, targeting the weak point on the leather armor.
At this moment, a dark shadow swept in from the front.
The orcs suddenly threw axes, targeting the horses under the crotches of the opponents.
The fragile horses in front of the axes suddenly fell, and the lancers on them rolled to the ground.
The wolf cavalry opened a small hole in a surprising way, but it wasn't big enough for everyone to rush through.
At this time, the wolf cavalry suddenly divided into two teams, the team with the enemy in front took advantage of the agility of the wolf to turn around and run, attracting the enemy to pursue them, and the team that rushed out of the first layer of encirclement suddenly turned around and killed the enemy from behind.
Under normal circumstances, the enemy who broke out of the encirclement would continue to assault the next layer of encirclement, but no one expected that the wolf cavalry who were going out now would be killed from the back.
The lancers, who were unaware for a while, suffered a great loss, and the cavalry near the breakthrough was not prepared for a sudden attack behind them, and was instantly killed and turned on his back.
This breakthrough was enough, and the wolf cavalry immediately rushed towards the second encirclement.
The archers had already begun to draw their bows and were about to start shooting at the enemy's mounts.
At this moment the wolf cavalry began to throw things again, and several fist-sized black balls flew out and landed on the grass not far from the archers.
The black balls exploded suddenly, blasting out a wall of smoke that blocked the archers' view.
Such a small means is not of much use on a frontal battlefield, but it still works well in this situation.
The wolf cavalry took advantage of the smoke to change the direction of the breakthrough, and the arrows fired by the other side basically landed on the grass, and only two or three arrows pierced the wolf cavalry who ran last.
The javelinmen clenched the javelins in their hands tightly for fear that the enemy would suddenly pounce in front of them.
A swath of throwing axes fell from the sky, and they were not on target, only a small half fell on the javelinmen.
But that was enough, and while the javelinmen were in confusion, the wolf cavalry suddenly emerged from the smoke and swooped down on the archers who had just taken out their arrows and were putting them on the bowstring.
The archers, who were about to cover the shot, suddenly fell down, and a breakthrough appeared.
The audience watched with trepidation, and when the archers and javelinmen finally covered the gap with fire regardless of the safety of their allies, many of them screamed in shock.
In the end, the wolf cavalry broke out of the encirclement at the cost of one wolf death and three cavalrymen being seriously wounded.
The cavalry in charge of the encirclement naturally did not watch them flee, and turned their horses to chase after them.
Soon after, the wolf cavalry came to a small river and continued to run along the river.
The large group of cavalry followed for a long time, and just as they were about to reach the top, the wolves jumped into the creek and swam towards the opposite bank.
The archers arrived, and the target in the river was not fast, making it a good target.
At this moment, there was a sudden crowd of people on the other side of the small river about ten meters wide, and one by one the miners and farmers got up from the ground and aimed their muskets at the cavalry on the other side of the river.
There was a burst of gunfire, and the archers fell off their horses.
By the time the archers arrived, the dwarves on the other side of the river had already set up their wooden guards against arrows, ready for the second round of design.
Shots rang out on the other side of the river, and thousands of muskets and miners sprang out of the grass, and several rounds of guns beat the cavalry on the opposite side.
As the cavalry prepared to retreat, a wolf howl rang out not far away, and they were surrounded.
A pair of opposing wolf cavalry had already floated nearby, and instead of forming an encirclement, they rushed into the enemy in groups of ten.
The individual strength of these wolf cavalry is more fierce than the team just now, and at the same time, the distribution of troops in each team is more reasonable, and they have all the tactics and herdsmen, and they killed the human cavalry with heavy casualties at once.
The audience could not have imagined that a well-organized siege battle would end with themselves being surrounded by the enemy and almost annihilated in the end.
At this moment, the enemy's mobile force of the Ziru army was useless, and the few cavalry that escaped could not become a big threat in a short time.
Next is the show of the Ru army, they don't have many troops, but the quality is extremely high.
This group of strong wolf cavalry slaughtered near the castle, and specially selected the enemy's convoy to transport resources.
These wolf cavalry were divided into pieces, cruising in divisions, and when they saw a small convoy, they stepped forward alone to destroy them, and when they encountered a large convoy, they called a friendly army to fight an encirclement battle with a wolf howl.
By the next morning, the enemy convoys had been lost, but their infantry-defended castles, mines, and lumberyards had not encountered half of the enemy.
At this moment, the enemy's commander had a headache, the transportation lines were all cut off, the resources could not be transported back, the clever woman could not cook without rice, and the inventory in the base was used a little less.
By noon, enemy resource points began to receive attacks.
The peasants of the Ru army accompanied the magicians in carriages with muskets on their backs, and occupied these resource points one by one with an overwhelming superiority of troops.
Without mobile forces, the enemy commander had no way to rescue him.
Then the enemy's messenger appeared, bringing with him a war letter, and the Jorvan army fought a final battle in front of his castle in the evening.
The Ru army did not agree, because the air force detected that the enemy had summoned a group of elite heavy cavalry, and it was estimated that they had used up all their resources, and they had no dinner to eat.
Sure enough, not long after the war letter was rejected, a team with five hundred heavy cavalry as the core left the castle and advanced towards the base camp of the Ru army.
Then they encounter a large green poisonous slime on the way.
