647 Reinforcements from the East Court (1)
647 Reinforcements from the East Court (1)
In the northeast of the three northern counties, the sky is a little overcast, the sun's brilliance is obscured by clouds, the dark green leaves float in the cool wind, and the quiet heat that blows on the face clearly tells everyone that summer is coming
Duke Halle's gaze was deep on the barracks on the hill in the distance, the rudimentary barracks and the rows of weapons could not hide the figures of the Ryrdian recruits, and the rapid and sharp whistle constantly broke the short silence, followed by the tidal shouts, as if resounding in the sky.
As the shouts got closer and louder, as if countless giants were beating the war drums of the earth, the whole hill seemed to be shaking, and the military flag of Ruierdian, which was waving in the wind, was like a ball of flames, spreading a faint golden yellow on the ground under the reflection of the fields close to summer.
This is the new Northern Army under the command of the Duke of Halle, after 3 months of expansion, the Duke of Halle, who was given high hopes by His Majesty the King, is worthy of a brave veteran, through a series of forced heads, confiscation of manors, kidnapping of mercenary farmers, stunned in the three northern counties with a population of only 200,000 to pull out an army of 20,000 people
At the head of the city of Rebogen, except for the Duke of Halle, several generals of Ryordian were very satisfied with the scene in front of them, with a knowing smile on their faces, as if they saw the hope of revitalizing the Northern Army.
The newly appointed Commander of the Fourth Knights of the North, Baltazar, and the Fifth Knights, Tosonoff, became more and more ambitious, complacent, and had a vague feeling of being above everyone. But the two of them just collided with a deep look, as if they didn't care about the qiē line they saw in front of them, as if it was just the most ordinary scene.
Since Dvalin's war report had just been delivered to the Duke of Halle, the sudden attack of the Vecchian army made the battle-hardened old duke feel that a storm was coming here.
In the slowly rugged fields north of Reborgen, a thin black line appeared at noon,
This thin black line is getting bigger and bigger. Wider and wider, in this group of seas, the three-star flag of the Kujit people is waving in the wind. They surged like waves in a tropical storm, swept like a flood that burst its banks, and everywhere they went, they were submerged in a black sea. It gives people a great sense of spiritual shock.
Whoa...... Boom la-la-la-la......" Countless lingering and exhilarating sounds, as the black lines came from afar, and the whole earth seemed to tear apart.
Countless black shadows suddenly appeared, filling the entire earth to the brim, without a single crack in the ground, the wind and clouds between the heavens and the earth changed color, and even the sun that had just come out was covered by the black flag, and the slightest sunlight could no longer be seen.
Countless flying horses' hooves trampled over the meadows, carrying up sand and gravel and withered weeds. They were swept into a tornado-like procession, smashing back and forth through the dense hooves of horses until they were completely shattered and disappeared into the fierce cold wind.
This is a dense layer of cavalry, a cavalry that comes from all over the world. They appeared congested in this fertile land, and between the war horses and the war horses, almost the hooves of the horses,
Because there were so many people, they had to keep moving at an astonishing pace. If someone in the middle of it falls, he will be crushed and completely melted into the earth. There was no trace of it anymore.
The tall horses did not care about the weeds and sand and gravel, and they spread their hooves as fast as they could, and galloped across the still thin layer of earth, which was shattered by the splashing of the horses' hooves, or stepped deep into the earth, and occasionally one or two pieces of mud, a little thicker, were fluttered by the horses' hoofs, and distributed a dazzling light under their eyes.
Rolling torrents, knights on horseback, wearing thin armor. Carrying a bow and arrows, bending over, clinging to the back of his horse, and clamping the horse's belly with his feet, he raised the speed of the ** war horse to the limit, like a sharp arrow through this vast and barren land. There are no abundant aquatic plants here, no abundant prey, not worth their nostalgia, not worth their slowdown, in the distance of their sight, is the target of this time, the city of Rebogen
"It's coming so fast," Duke Halle's face was calm, but he snorted low in his nostrils, full of jealousy. If in the heyday of Rui Erdian, such a cavalry corps could also be pulled out, but now, it can only be used with a kind of envious gaze to a large number, if you have such a cavalry, how good it would be,
The gray and dark sky seemed to be condensed with the Kugit archers, the air seemed to be very heavy, and it was very difficult to breathe.
Many of the people of Ryordian can feel the pounding of their hearts. An endless tension stretched out from the west to the eight directions of the land, and every one of them shrouded silently, no matter from any angle,
The trombone that represents the war is getting more and more dense. The recruits outside the city ran in a panic, and in the angry shouts of the squad leader, they discharged a series of crooked gun arrays, and erected a dense forest of guns on the wall of Rebogen with sharp spears.
The "creaking" sound of the dense bowstring pull carried a pervasive killing intent, and the archers who relied on the battlements pulled the crumbling bowstrings in their hands, closely monitoring the every move of the Kugit archers below, ready to give any eye that tried to approach the city wall to meet the head-on
"Good guy, I'm afraid there are more than 20,000 cavalry," the dense queue of Kujit people below made the Ruierdian people on the city wall secretly smack their tongues
Among the black-armored archers of the "Eastern Kujits" Ryerdian, there were some experienced old knights who exclaimed. These are the royal cavalry of the West Kugit people who are listed as the ace cavalry of the mainland, and they are constantly the cavalry directly under the king of the East Garden, with a number of 40,000 people, and it is this cavalry that is as terrible as the devil that annihilated the defenders of Ruierdian in the Achmore region in one fell swoop, and swept the northern defense line of Ruierdian like a whirlwind
Fine iron chain mail, holding a strong bow, although sacrificing a strong mobility ability, but in exchange for a strong long-range attack ability, in order to deal with the iron armor archers of the Dongting people, once wanted to dominate the north of the Rui Erdian people, but also made a special study,
Understand the past of the ironclad archers, the ironclad archers are a branch of the Kugit heavy cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is indeed very strong, especially the ironclad archers in the eastern court, almost the entire northeast of the continent has no opponents. Even the Dorok mountain people, who are known for their tenacity and tenacity, do not dare to provoke this kind of heavy cavalry that seems to be a moving archery machine
Since the time of the successive Kugit kings, the archery tactics have shown great ability, although there were still very few special subway armor archers at that time, but they have emerged in the battle, with the expansion of the land, and the battle against the heavy armies such as Rui Erdian, it has been rapidly expanded.
Many Kugit tribes have exercised their own iron-armored archers, and with the evolution of time, they are divided into light-armed hurricane cavalry, and heavily armed black-armored archers, because of many subjective reasons, many iron-armored archers are not satisfactory, but at least every force has been attracted and intoxicated by the combat effectiveness of iron-armored archers, and is willing to spend countless funds and energy for iron-armored archers.
With the division of the Kugit into the eastern and western courts, on one side were the West Kugit who had a large grassland but lacked iron ore forged weapons and heavy armor, and on the other side were the Eastern Kugit who had more than a dozen large iron mines but lacked enough war horses, and the royal court cavalry that completely pursued mobility and surprise attack capabilities, and although there were not many but sophisticated black-armored archers
The Western Court needed 200,000 men to resist the invasion of 100,000 Rui Erdian's troops, and the East Court people almost forced Rui Erdian into a desperate situation with only 60,000 troops.
This can be seen that the two courts in the east and west are different in terms of strategic principles, one is to fight the people's war, and the other is to take the route of elite soldiers, this kind of black-armored archer cavalry is the top of the elite cavalry.
At the beginning of the year, in the largest battle of the Kayan River in the north of Ruierdian, about 30,000 black-armored archers almost defeated the number of Ruierdian's defense army, so that the entire Kayan River was dyed red, and the blood-red Kayan River water flowed into the soil along the way, making the entire land turn a faint red, which looked extraordinarily gorgeous.
In the face of the sudden appearance of the Eastern Court cavalry, Duke Halle also felt some surprises, he got the information that the Vikyan army raided Dvalin, and the city of Rebgen because of the distance, it was already 2 days later when he got the news, for Dvalin's distress letter, the Duke of Halle, who has always been old-fashioned, had no intention of sending troops to rescue,
The Vikchian army has always been attacking like fire, according to Dvalin's insistence on dù, it is already the limit to be able to hold out for three days, from the time calculation, even if he sent reinforcements from Ribogen, it will be 3 days after arriving in Dvalin, not only can not rescue Dvalin, but instead send a big meal to the Vikyans in vain,
Duke Halle believed that at some point, the necessary sacrifices were inevitable, and that instead of sending troops to rescue Dvalin, it was better to hold on to the spot, which was only three days away from the Ritwak front line that was fighting fiercely with the Totei people, where there were 40,000 troops stationed in Kyoto, and as long as he held on to Ribogen, reinforcements would be able to pour in
"This is the Rebogen that leads to the Three Northern Counties?"
In the cavalry queue of the East Court under the city wall, there is also a young general with a stern expression, who is looking at the small fortress in front of him with blazing eyes, his name is Haigru, the prince of the East Court of Kugit, famous for his bravery and fearlessness in the East Court grassland, the fortress in front of him looks a little dilapidated, Hai Gru believes, only the black armor bow is needed
Looking at the weak Rui Erdian people in front of him who only dared to hide in the city, he slowly raised his right hand and made a grabbing posture,
Then he stretched out his thumb and pressed down sharply
'Siege'.
