Chapter 153: Into the City

The second group of scouts was released, this group of scouts did not ride horses, but scouts on foot, because Russell needed them to find the traces of enemy soldiers covertly and come back to report, if they were on horseback, the target would be too big.

Snott was caught off guard by using surprise attack tactics to hit the "Red Leaves" legion, and Russell was also caught off guard by the "Red Leaves" legion, but the tactics he used were different from Snoth's, he wanted to use ambush tactics.

The cavalry regiment used ambush tactics, which sounds ridiculous, but in fact they were specially invented by Russell.

Unlike the traditional infantry corps ambush strategy, the cavalry ambush method is that the cavalry marches in a line and waits until both sides can see the opposite side before accelerating the charge. Within visual distance, even if they saw it, the infantry corps could not escape the charge of the cavalry corps, and the cavalry could draw their swords, charge, and then behead them step by step, just like in textbooks.

The advantage of this is that in the face of a cavalry that suddenly appears, no matter how carefully you think about it, you will not be able to think of a way to deal with it in the first place, and the opposing cavalry has already rushed in front of you. Originally, the infantry was no match for the cavalry, and under such unstoppable conditions, it was not an opponent, and what would happen next would be a massacre.

It's just that in order to achieve such an effect, there must be certain conditions, that is, it must not be discovered by the scouts sent by the enemy, otherwise it will be an ambush in a queue.

The current situation is exactly suitable for this way, Snott's "Lion Claw" legion is pursuing in the rear, and the elven "Red Leaves" legion is in a hurry to flee, so it is naturally impossible to send scouts to the front, Russell is to seize their sense of urgency to pursue the rear and relax their vigilance against the unknown ahead, then there will be a textbook charge, and the most standard way to complete a most non-standard battle.

Captain of the Ace Army, such a name should definitely not be underestimated.

The scout quickly withdrew from the front and reported the latest situation: "Report to the corps commander that the enemy is retreating in a hurry, only ten miles away from our army, and it is expected that it will make contact in half an hour. ”

"Very well, go down and rest, fight for a while, you don't have to go into battle. Russell said. Being a scout is a very physically demanding thing, so he is also very considerate of these veterans, and he can't let people go to the battlefield just after scouting.

Anne looked at the formation of the red-clothed army behind Russell, and said with a smile: "It seems that you can't wait." ”

"Our sabers are hungry and thirsty. Russell pulled out his fifth-level magic saber called "Owl Head".

Scold!

With the characteristic sound of the red-clothed army drawing the sword, the bright cold light shone on the resolute faces of the soldiers.

"Ready, ready for battle!"

The chaotic sound of horses' hooves gradually became neat, and the original thump turned into a dull roar, and the earth seemed to tremble, and this imposing sound could be heard from afar.

Ten miles, this distance is really nothing for the cavalry, it is just a moment. What's more, the two sides are still in a state of hedging, and the approach speed is much faster than the pursuit, and soon, the two sides can vaguely see the figure of the other party's troops.

When Jane Theen saw the hazy red team in the distance, she was so frightened that she almost fell off her horse.

She recognized the unit, and in his mind, information about the prestigious unit came to mind.

The Red Coats, one of the strongest troops of the Terrans, are composed of cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is very terrifying. Their legion commander Russell is a top general of the Terrans, with a fierce fighting style, known as the "Charging Maniac", and has led the army to fight so far, and has not tasted defeat.

The Red Leaves were a regular legion, and Jane Theon didn't think her infantry could stand up to the opposing cavalry.

The Terran cavalry is one of the most famous on the continent, alongside the dwarven mercenaries and the orc berserkers.

"Retreat! Retreat! Disperse!"

Looking at the red cavalry unit in the distance, which had begun to accelerate, Jane Sean yelled, the situation was too unfavorable for him and her at this time. Having just lost a battle, the morale of the troops is currently low, but when they encounter the enemy's cavalry, Jane Sheen seems to have seen her fate - she is beheaded by a saber.

The distant thump had turned into a thunderous roar, and the flying dust enveloped the troops, making them look like fiery red ghosts.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and most of the elven soldiers scattered and fled, they had just suffered a great defeat, and they had been frightened by the Terran troops, and the only counterattack was only the occasional sporadic arrow. Such a soft attack was nothing to the well-armed redcoat army. The knights rushed into the formation of the "Red Leaves" legion like a whirlwind, their polished sabers raised high, and then swung down violently, bringing up a puff of green blood and heads with pointed ears and beautiful features.

The popping of knives into flesh, the screams of female elves, and the sound of blood spraying mingle to form a music of death.

The weeping soul will return to the arms of God in endless pain.

Russell jumped into the enemy line and beheaded two elves with a single sword, but his target was not these ordinary elven soldiers, his target was the leader of the "Red Leaves" legion, Jane Theen.

Killing the opposing soldier's is far less impactful than killing the opposing commander. A Legion Commander needs at least tens of thousands of soldiers' lives to get the same value, and it is much easier to kill a Legion Commander than tens of thousands of soldiers.

Several soldiers surrounded Russell to protect him. These soldiers were significantly different from the average Red Soldier - their armor was significantly thicker, their sabers were longer, and there was a golden circle on the chest of their armor, while the average soldier was the same red as the armor.

These soldiers escorted Russell to fight his way out and approached Jane Sean.

Don't ask Russell how they found Jane Sheen. This guy is so conspicuous that as far as the eye can see, she is the only one riding a horse in the entire "Red Leaves" legion.

Horses are rare in the ranks of the elves, and are usually only ridden by the Legion Commander rank. In this great scuffle, Jane Sean, sitting on a horse, shines like a light in the night, and Russell sees her at a glance.

A knife passed, and the fishy wind rose.
