H+2 on Day D. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yumengand's vanguard fleet was less than ten miles away from Chanda's closest, and the supply depot buildings could already be seen on both sides, but of course, there was no one inside.

At this distance, if the warship uses a hybrid sail and paddle, it will take less than twenty minutes to sail directly to the city of Chanda. The soldiers of the Order on the fleet were already excitedly wiping their weapons.

Zenda, a city on the continent that has been peaceful for more than 30 years, has accumulated wealth that is definitely not comparable to those national cities that have been mired in war for many years.

It's just that...... Why did a tree fall down in the bushes over there?

The three-masted warship at the head of the fleet was Arnold, the commander of the Thirteenth Legion of the Dark Order, who had been promoted from the captain of the Third Legion to the commander of the Thirteenth Legion after the expansion of the Order's army in the past two years. In this operation, Arnold led the 13th Army Corps in the forefront of the entire Central Army Group and served as the task of opening the way. In order to demonstrate his martial bravery, he personally led his own personal guards to ride on the vanguard ship, and he even boasted of Haikou in front of 80,000 people of the Central Group Army at the oath meeting before departure, and planted his regimental flag at the head of Chanda City in half an hour.

When the tree in the bushes on the shore fell, Arnold happened to be on the second deck looking in the direction of Zenda, and when he saw this unusual scene, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately cautiously commanded the fifty crossbowmen and two bed crossbowmen on the side to fire a salvo in that direction. After that, still a little uneasy, Arnold ordered the three battleships following behind him to fire a salvo in which direction with the flag.

After the salvo, Arnold held on to the deck railing and stared intently in that direction, and for a while, everyone on the four battleships held their breath, for fear that the sound of panting would also affect the audition.

But all Arnold could hear was the sound of the oars falling into the water, and the sound of the ship breaking through the current.

"Could it be that I'm too sensitive?" Arnold touched his nose, a little hesitantly ready to give the order to continue driving.

Suddenly, from the woods on the shore, a tree flew out.

That's right, it's a tree, a tree that can be used as a roof beam with a little treatment, and the two of them hug each other, and it is like a light throwing gun, carrying the whistling wind through the air.

For a moment, Arnold remembered his superior, the commander-in-chief of the Central Legion, Yumengund, who was the only one who could do such a thing.

But it was clearly not Yumengund's doing! This thought was just a flash of thought, the tree roared like an arrow, and crashed headlong into the side of the battleship, in the roar of the huge wooden plank breaking, the sudden strong vibration directly knocked Arnold to the ground, when he got up and scanned his battleship again, he found that the tree was more than a meter in diameter, close to twenty meters high, and most of it had pierced into the waterline of his battleship, and came out from the other side, and a layer of blood and flesh had been hung on the knotted old branches, and there was no doubt that it was the warriors who were rowing hard in the hull。

The battleship groaned and began to lean slowly to one side.

"No, it can't be! Enemy attack! Where to shoot!" Arnold roared hysterically as he pointed in the direction the tree was flying from, and the three ships behind him immediately adjusted their ranged weapons, and the rain of arrows continued to rain in that direction.

But it didn't seem to have any effect, the second whistling sound followed, and another big tree of about the same thickness smashed into a piece of green, like a heavy punch from the legendary tree man, and smashed it on the side of the second battleship.

"What's going on!" Arnold jumped to his feet as if he had been whipped, "What is that?monster?or titan??!!

He was answered by a third scream, this time not a tree, but a boulder the size of a carriage wheel, which rolled in the air for a while, dragging a rumbling sound of breaking the air, and smashed accurately on the deck of the third battleship, and under the impact of huge kinetic energy, the third battleship first sank downward, and then the hull of the ship was simply broken like a corn stick, and the bow and stern of the ship bounced upwards under the action of buoyancy, throwing more than a hundred soldiers of the Order on that ship high into the air and on both sides of the You River.

In the blink of an eye, three battleships were destroyed!

Arnold didn't have time to shout anything more, his flagship had already fallen on the water, it was a matter of time before it sank, he had changed into a small boat, ready to move backwards, at this moment he finally came to his senses, jumped up, and ordered the flag bearer to wave the flag to the rear: "Far from the shore, drive in the middle of the You River, and the other side has bed crossbows and catapults and other ambushes." ”

The battleships in the rear paused, and they all deviated from the direction, far away from the dense forest on the shore, and carefully sailed onto the central channel of the You River, leaving three heavily damaged battleships to slowly sink in the whirlpool of the You River.

But it doesn't seem to be over yet.

Arnold boarded the fourth battleship, and had only traveled less than half a mile when suddenly a number of planks half a meter square floated down the river upstream, the edges of which shimmered with sharp light.

"What is this?" Arnold watched curiously as the planks drifted closer and closer, and then pinned to the edge of the ship like a cang. More planks drifted downstream, clinging to the side of the other ships.

"Go, you go and get one and come up and have a look. Arnold said to a crossbow soldier who looked warily underwater, and the soldier nervously lowered his crossbow and hooked a plank with a penny with a hook.

But the strange thing is that the hook can't be hooked, and the planks are nailed to the edge of the boat, as if they are very tight. The soldier used a great deal of effort to pry a plank off the edge of the ship, but he could not pull it up.

"It's heavy!" said the guard, "it doesn't seem to be a plank, it's square!

"Something?" Arnold looked at the red-eared soldier suspiciously, he was struggling to hook the "plank", half of the "plank" had left the water, it was obvious that it was not a plank, it seemed to be a wooden block.

"Captain!" cried out one of the soldiers in sudden terror, "our ship is slowing down!"

Arnold jerked his head up and looked to the shore, yes, the speed of the boat had slowed down, and it was getting slower, and the speed at which the trees on the shore were moving backwards was almost still.

"Paddle, paddle hard!" Arnold roared with red eyes, at this time, although he did not know what was happening, it was almost certain that it must be the effect of these "planks".

Arnold's roar was accompanied by the sound of the oars in the hull, and the boat struggled to jump a few meters upstream, but then there was a crisp click.

One of the oars is broken!

How could it be! Arnold threw himself on the side of the boat, just in time to see the broken oar, drifting away with the current. Before he could ask why, another oar broke in front of his eyes.

This time, he saw clearly, the oar had reached the bottom of a "plank", and it seemed to be caught by something, and when it was raised again, it snapped and broke crisply.

Arnold's eyes were red, and he didn't think about it, so he jumped down, landed on a "plank", and copied a "plank" from the water.

He saw clearly that this was not a board, but a hollow wooden box, which was nailed with sharp iron nails, bent into a barb, and could be easily nailed to the side of the ship with a slight touch, and under these wooden boxes, heavy stones were hung with solid thick hemp ropes, and the weight was just enough to make the wooden boxes float up a surface, which looked like wooden planks, which could not only slow down the speed of the battleship, but also the hemp ropes hanging from the stones could also have the effect of twisting the oars.

"The trick of the Zen masters!" Arnold was furious, and with a single punch blasted the wooden box to pieces, then dragged his bloody hand back to the deck.

"Inform Commander-in-Chief Umungander that the fleet has been harassed and destroyed by the enemy, and that we may arrive at Zenda at a later date, and that each ship should send a few men down to remove these wooden boxes so that they do not attach to our ship, and ......" Arnold suddenly stopped speaking, his eyes protruding strangely, and blood gradually filled his entire eyeball, and his face slowly turned a strange blue-black.

"Legionnaire, Legionnaire!" the standard-bearer, who was waiting for the order to record the record, noticed that something was wrong with Arnold, and he nudged Arnold lightly with some horror.

Arnold was like an old tree whose roots had been rotted and clean, he was knocked to the ground by this gentle push, his body convulsed and twisted on the ground a few times, and soon began to foam, and the white foam was followed by pitch-black and smelly blood, and by this time, the idiots could see that Arnold was poisoned!

The poison is applied to those sharp barbed iron nails on the wooden box, waterproof, strong!

On Day D, H+2, Arnold, the vanguard of the Dark Order and the commander of the 13th Legion, was killed. On the other side, by land.

Yumengund personally commanded an army of 70,000 by land, and after landing in the delta of the Youhe River, he rushed to the city of New Chanda, and his intention was to first break through the new Chanda with the thunderous momentum, and then cooperate with the 30,000 troops of the 13th, 14th, and 19th legions by water to form a joint encirclement of Chanda by water and land.

According to the information sent back by the Inquisition, the fortifications of New Chanda, located in the east of the Tyre Heights, are far less fortified than the old Chanda City, because it is relatively inland, so New Chanda exists more as a settlement, a center of trade and a center of production, with a garrison of only 15,000 people, and most of them are rabble members of the so-called "Light Alliance". The guards were Rolf, Melva, Bob, and Felix, and these unknown people were not in the eyes of Yumengande at all, and he was ready to take over an empty city with four doors open when the troops approached the city of Xinzenda.

As for the reinforcements that may be sent by the city of Old Chanda, Yumengund does not pay attention to it, there is a threat from the thirteenth, fourteenth, and nineteenth legions, and it is impossible for Lao Chanda to divide troops to rescue, even if the troops are divided, by the time they bypass the southern edge of the Tyre Heights, the central cluster will have already broken through New Chanda, and they will be ready to work.

The pioneer who opened the way for the large army was Garm of the Eighth Legion, a close comrade-in-arms who had followed Umungander very early, and was the patriarch of the Order, and the Eighth Legion under his jurisdiction was ranked among the best in combat effectiveness in the Order. Moreover, for some reason that everyone understands, the Eighth Army was not 10,000 men as required for its establishment, but was oversupplied to 15,000 men, and Gam, in the name of "direct pro-guard", arbitrarily expanded a brigade of men.

The Eighth Army now preceded the entire central group, five or six miles ahead of the main force of Eumengand, and five or six miles was a charge for a fully organized central group with a large number of cavalry.

So, from any point of view, the march of the land troops of the Central Cluster was always invulnerable.

Gam thought so too, so he was already imagining in his mind what kind of movement he was going to make when the outline of New Chanda City appeared below the horizon.

Gam's imagination was soon interrupted, and a dozen miles away from Xinzenda, he suddenly saw a faint white patch in the sparse woods in front of him, which was nearly a thousand light cavalry on white horses.

The light cavalry that appeared in this position was undoubtedly on the side of Zenda.

Gam sneered, with less than a thousand light cavalry, what threat can it pose to the Eighth Army Corps, which has more than fifteen thousand people and is fully armed?

He waved his hand: "Let the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Squadrons go and expel them." ”

The first and second cavalry squadrons are three thousand knights, which is already three times the number of the other party, and this is not to expel at all, but to annihilate at all!

The three thousand black-clothed knights on black horses quickly separated from the main force of the Eighth Legion, like two black dragons, one on the left and one on the right, in a pincer shape and swept towards the white cavalry on the opposite side.

As Gam expected, as soon as his own cavalry moved, the opponent's white cavalry immediately ran back like a frightened white rabbit.

Gamuha laughed.

At the same time, the cavalry general in the white cavalry team frowned, looking back from time to time to observe the distance between the black cavalry and him, and a hideous scar on his face twisted from time to time.

Beside him, a young cavalryman, dressed in a slightly more elaborate Kugit chainmail jacket than the others, also had a hideous scar across his cheek. The young cavalryman asked, "Boss Du, why are we running away every time?"

The cavalry general, as if someone had stepped on his tail, almost jumped up from his horse, and roared angrily: "You should ask Rolf the black bald man this question, and why do you ask me!"

The young cavalryman wiped his sweat and said, "Boss Du, you are too excited......

The general almost exploded: "I'm excited?!What are you kidding, I'm excited?!When I followed that Emmons before, I was desperately trying to escape, but now I'm messing with Lao G, and I still run away desperately, Dong Xiao, you bear child, are still embarrassed to say I'm excited?!"

At this time, another knight with a calm face beside the general said indifferently: "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as escaping...... I've heard before that when Rolf developed this battle plan, he used to refer to one of Emmons's examples. ”

The general immediately turned his head, his face full of nervousness: "That bastard's battle example?! Xiaoyan, do you hear clearly, do you know which one? Could it be that ......?"

The knight, known as the Little Feast, shook his head and said, "Then Rolf found out about my presence, and he immediately refused to say anything...... However, according to my reasoning, it is very likely that it was that ......"

The general shuddered, subconsciously glanced back at the billowing smoke and dust that fell behind him, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Rolf, you dare to use the same method to play me again like that bastard, and I Du Fulong will not let you go!"

"So, I decided to draw on the example of the battle in which Emmons took Paraven, and use the most mobile white horse guard to divert the light cavalry of the same mobility as Eumondand, and then we will use the advantage of the cavalry to cut off the connection between the opposing striker and the main force, and give them a heavy blow first. But one thing has changed, we are not Emmons's bastards, we will not ignore the White Horse Guard, and after the battle is over, Melva your female swordsman regiment will go to meet Du Fulong, and kill the opponent's light cavalry with two flanking attacks. ”

Melva was short, hiding in the woods on the northern edge of the Tyre Heights, her mind resounding about Rolf's pre-battle deployment.
