Princess Gina is fighting a bloody battle on her side, and the surrounded lion army on the other side is much better. Ready to speak, their predicament was shattered by the Guards who rushed to call for help.

Marquis Patton led the Guards to break through, and because the Black Hawk Army of the Hans Empire did not want to consume too much of their own strength, they did not desperately stop them. So the 10,000-strong Guards cavalry finally broke through to more than 8,000 people.

For the besieged army, the number of people who can break through this proportion is already a very good number, and it also means that the French Imperial Guards still maintain their basic combat effectiveness and establishment.

As the Chinese army and the left wing army that can echo each other in the plan, the straight-line distance between the imperial army and the lion army is actually not far, about twenty kilometers. For war horses, as long as they don't care about horsepower, they will soon be able to run to the past.

Therefore, in the previous battle plan, theoretically it was impossible for the Northern Army of the Empire to be surrounded, because without advance preparation, if you want to encircle the army of tens of thousands of soldiers, the time required is at least calculated in days, while the reinforcements can be calculated in hours.

The reason why the current passive situation can be caused is not unrelated to Duke's exposure of their marching road map, so that the barbarians and the Hans Empire can prepare in advance, and even attack at the same time, so that the Franco-Northern Army is overwhelmed, and there is no way to echo each other at all.

However, when Marquis Patton led the guards cavalry to feel the lion army camp, he found that the periphery was not a lion army at all, but a dense barbarian knight, and they were also attacking the lion army's camp at this time. It's just that compared to the strength of the Black Eagle Army of the Hans Empire, the Lion Army and these barbarians who have been blocked for a year have actually fought back and forth, and there is no one-sided rout.

This has to say why Duke Otto can be called the god of the imperial army, whether it is training equipment or fighting will, the lion army is at the top of the French Empire, even the royal legion is not comparable.

Especially in the case of superior equipment, the light cavalry of the barbarians could not shoot through the armor of the lion army at all, relying on strong equipment and combat awareness, the lion army quickly stabilized the defense line, and did not hold on as hard as the first army of the empire.

Marquis Patton suddenly saw the situation of the Lion Army, and he was extremely shocked in his heart, how could two groups of armies of two different forces besiege the Lion Army and the Imperial Army at the same time. Not to mention two different forces, it is very difficult for even one empire to do this, how on earth is this done?

Marquis Patton was full of doubts in his heart, but years of veteran experience told him that there was no time for him to question in this situation, and he should make his own decision in the fastest time.

And now there is no choice for this decision, that is, taking advantage of the fact that the barbarians are also in an accident, directly lead the Guards Legion and the Lion Army to flank the barbarian cavalry. The number of 8,000 people may not be very much, and it is not comparable to the scale of 100,000 barbarian cavalry, but in fact, the heavily armed imperial cavalry really has to compete with the barbarian cavalry, and one horse can be at least three horsemen.

This is the reason why nomads can only blow the northwest wind on the steppe and eventually disappear into the long river of history. Science and technology determine the future development, and the agrarian empire may have no way to face the guerrilla plunder tactics of the nomads in the period of decline, and can only defend passively, but once it is in the offensive period, the situation will be completely reversed.

"The Guards Legion obeys the order, we are the most valiant knights of the French Empire, we are the most loyal warriors of His Majesty the Emperor, let me see your courage and glory to defeat this group of barbarian savages in front of me!"

Although the Marquis of Patton is an old fox and his political methods against Duke are also very despicable, it has to be said that when he was really facing a life-and-death battle, he still showed the loyalty and courage of a noble knight, and the Guards Legion, as one of the left arms and right arms of the French royal family, was undoubtedly loyal and courageous, and their fate was bound to the rise and fall of the French Empire.

"Guards, attack!"

The noble generals at all levels passed on the order of the Marquis of Patton, and more than 8,000 guards began to line up neatly, ready to charge towards the barbarian light cavalry in front of them. In fact, seriously speaking, the Guards Cavalry is not a special cavalry unit, and the real cavalry unit of the French royal army should be the Royal Knight Legion.

However, the Guards, as one of the three directly subordinate legions of the French Imperial Family, had a 100% horse ownership rate. And these are basically knights, except that they don't have their own fiefdoms, they are considered to be one of the quasi-nobles of the French Empire, and their riding skills will naturally not be bad, so the Guards Legion basically uses them as cavalry at critical moments from riding infantry.

In fact, this kind of riding infantry is also one of Duke's dreams, just like the motorized and mechanized infantry in later generations, at least a horse is much stronger than two legs, and the marching speed of this era is too slow. It's just that Storm Castle doesn't have so many war horses, and it doesn't even have so many riding animals, so it can only be used as infantry.

However, with the popularization of storm carriages in the future, not to mention the luxury of one person and one horse, as long as it can achieve ten people and two carriages, basically according to the carrying capacity of more than one ton of storm carriages, you can directly use storm carriages to transport troops in the future, and the daily marching speed can be increased to at least 50 kilometers per day. After all, these animals are far less delicate than war horses.

The Guards finished lining up, and then began to urge the war horses under them, gradually accelerating and rushing towards the barbarian cavalry in front of them. And the barbarian cavalry besieging the lion army, the cavalry and reserve army in the back row have also gathered, and they have no choice now, either retreat and leave, or they can only rely on their numerical superiority to defeat the cavalry force of less than 10,000 people in front of them.

For the barbarians, today's opportunity to besiege the lion army is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss out on letting the Lions break out, it will be almost impossible to wait for this kind of opportunity next time, and the Lions will be more cautious.

What's more, it's such a long confrontation, in fact, the most stressful are the barbarians. The French Empire is weakened because of its own reasons, otherwise such a confrontation is completely acceptable, but what the barbarians lack is the necessities of life, such as salt, tea, and iron tools Once they are missing for a long time, this is not a problem of combat effectiveness, but even survival is a problem, so the barbarians are really no way back!
