——————

Night had just fallen, and to the south of the Iron Family Castle in the north, a winding fire dragon was marching from south to north, and the flames were blazing.

On the wilderness with the Iron Family in the back, the temporary positions built by the Xinmin Legion were also blazing, different from the winding fire dragons advancing, the firelight here was scattered across the wilderness, from east to west, lit up in the camps everywhere.

The defensive position of the Xinmin Legion is sketched without a trace, like a straight red line in the dark night, drawing a straight horizontal line in the empty wilderness, which is the line of defense and the line of blocking.

In a high-post camp in the center of the line, William, commander-in-chief of the Xinmin Legion, and Kanter, who joined the army, were holding a military combat meeting in the Muzhai camp with the three combat battalions of the Chinese army and the rear army.

The camp was surrounded by secret sentinels, and fifty of the most elite Guards of the Guards Regiment patrolled the area within a two-mile radius around the high post.

As they were inspecting a slope defense, they saw the dragon coming from a distance on the top of the hill.

One of the rangers cursed loudly: "The enemy is coming, go and inform the commander." ”

The cavalry quickly delivered the information to the command camp tent as soon as possible, and the military combat meeting was also coming to an end at this moment, and the plan for the deployment and coordination of the position in front of the station had just been issued through the meeting, William received the military situation, stood up from the first place, and under the torch of the camp tent, illuminated the face of the commander of the legion, William, with a carefully trimmed black beard, the beard was trimmed like a sharp knife, which matched his nose like a sharp knife, and a pair of ice blue eyes were blue.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first battle of the New People's Legion is coming, this battle is the first battle of the New People's Legion, and it is also the first battle of the northern territory to blow a counterattack against the Essosians, the people in the north are watching us, and the guardians are also watching us, your hometown fathers, your wives and children, are all watching us. The deployment has been ordered, and you have joined your soldiers according to the established plan, and the New Militia must win. Do a good first round of defense. The position of the Chinese army, if the opening of the defense is broken, the rear army will make up for it, and if the rear army is broken, it will not send a message to ask for reinforcements, and it will be cut off on its own. ”

William's voice was heavy and powerful, and the commanders of the battalion and the captains of the battalion immediately got up and straightened their waists when they heard this, and they said in unison: "Obey." ”

William looked at the heroic, confident faces, and raised his voice an octave.

"The Xinmin Legion will win, and after the war, I will personally hold a celebration banquet for you in the Tie Family Castle behind me, and report to Baigang to repay you. ”

"The Legion will win. ”

"The Legion will win. ”

"Go down and prepare. ””

"Yes!"

When two dragons collide, the situation will be very tragic.

The sound of fierce fighting, the neighing of war horses, and the screams of men echoed in the wilderness, and Kantor, who had been sitting in the tent of the Chinese army for a long time, did not have the patience of the commander-in-chief William, and the constant battle reports at the beginning of the battlefield were sent to the camp tent by the herald, but he did not move.

The dry air in the camp tent made Kanter feel suffocated, and when the battle report was presented again, he could no longer sit still, opened the curtain of the camp tent, and walked to the edge of the Gaogang hill where the Chinese army camp was located, and a magnificent picture of the war appeared in front of him.

The two armies were already fighting in disarray, and in the darkness of the night, it was impossible to see the dress of the two warring sides, and the torches illuminated the long line of defense, and while holding the line, while frantically storming the line.

All this can only be judged by the number of torches in the hands of the soldiers, and the direction.

Entangled in a fierce battle, the torches are separated by a few hundred meters in the confrontation, the Xinmin Legion originally formed a formation in the large and small, high and low dozens of low hills on the fortifications to resist the enemy, the enemy's desperate attack, so that several low hills on the fire, that means that the enemy stormtroopers have attacked those few low hill fortifications, if the mouth is penetrated, the rear army waiting in the Tieshi Castle needs to rush to fill the hole.

The darkness of night made it difficult for the cavalry to play.

Can only be used as a pursuit party in the Harvest Battlefield.

It seems that the choice of attacking at night is a strategy that the Essos, who lack horses, have long calculated.

Under the banner with red background and black stripes on the nearest side of sight, more than a hundred cavalry of the Xinmin Legion were struggling to pursue the rout that the enemy had just retreated. The cavalry was not far in front of the position, illuminated by bright firelight, and quickly pursued the fleeers. But it would be unwise to go any further and assault the enemy's own formation.

Kanter squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, before he saw clearly that this should be the flag of the first cavalry team of the third battalion of the Chinese army, the commander is a flag-carrying cavalry in the independent battalion of the original Gripen Legion, and now he has been promoted to the captain of the cavalry, and there are more than 100 recruit riders under him, and the training and actual combat of the cavalry team have not been systematically tested, and the combat effectiveness should not be too strong, but why does this guy think that he can break through the spear-ridden Essos formation?

The pikemen were the best weapon to use against the cavalry, not to mention at night, when the view was blocked, and the horses could easily lose their sense of direction after charging into the enemy line, but Kanter soon understood the plans of the cavalry squad, because the other heights of their 3rd Combat Battalion were under great pressure, and his direction was slightly weaker, and it seemed that he intended to put a little pressure on the enemy's own position, so as not to let the enemy attack too recklessly.

The battlefield is covered with crossbow arrows, and sometimes you can't tell if the arrow is coming from your front or back. I'm afraid it won't be so easy for this cavalry squad to bring back the Essos army a little.

However, it is a good thing to dare to make bold choices on the battlefield like this, and if a cavalry team cannot complete the containment of the enemy, then one or two more will be enough.

Now there were two more such teams, and Kanter saw them vaguely in his sight, and he saw them again starting to charge down from his position.

One is the Xinmin Legion Guards Cavalry, which Kanter is more familiar with, and the commander is the deputy captain of the personal guard of Commander William, and the other is too far away to see clearly, but with the addition of these two cavalry, the enemy's offensive against other dwarf knolls is obviously not as unscrupulous as before, and the tide-like enemy is beginning to show signs of receding from the tail.

Although Kanter believed that it would be difficult for the cavalry to truly break through the enemy's position, the Essos seemed to be concerned about the safety of the weakened Chinese position.

At this point in the war, it basically fell into a short-lived stalemate.
