Chapter Ninety-Seven: Sortie
None of the other generals spoke, their military ranks were lower, and they just listened to the three supreme commanders discuss.
Edmund thought for a moment and said, "Could it be a trap? If the Oro cavalry is faster than me, and they go to the canyon to ambush first, they can block and kill many of our cavalry just by throwing some stones down." Our goal is not to spare them a single soldier, and only then to occupy Oran, if the Pope's men have air horses and try to break through with air horses, then naturally someone will intercept them, and we don't care. I think it's better for us to move forward steadily. ”
The bearded Pilsha said: "In this case, our only emerald kite mage is also staring there, he did not return, then the Pope's personal guard must not move, I brought two thousand cavalry, two thousand infantry is enough to deal with the army trying to pass through the canyon, and when I get there, I arrange for the infantry to go up the mountain, control the canyon, and then take two thousand cavalry to Oro City." ”
Edmund said: "Pilsha's idea is good, just like that, the remaining three thousand cavalry will be led by Saivi and walk the plains, which should be enough to deal with the remaining cavalry of Oro." ”
Sai Wei, the commander of the cavalry, said: "My lord is wise, I want to let those dirt buns see what a real cavalry is." By the way, my lord, why do I think that the other four empty horsemen don't look like the Grand Duke's people?"
Edmund said: "We don't have to worry about it, it doesn't matter who they are, as long as they are willing to unite, we have to stop Gloria in the air, and the Grand Duke has no reason to blame us." You set out first, and if you encounter their cavalry along the way, it is best to kill them directly, and if you can't, you will control the plains there when you reach the vicinity of the city of Oro. ”
The plan was decided, and Edmund gave the order, and Savi and Pilsha hurried out of the main tent with the generals.
As the army had already prepared for the battle, a short time later, with the loud sound of ten thousand drums, the cavalry set off first, and a huge amount of smoke and dust rose on the road.
In the barracks west of the city of Oro, 2,000 cavalrymen lined up in a phalanx, holding wildebeest and maintaining formation.
In Amilia's absence, she didn't dare to participate in the military operations that directly confronted the Night Alliance, she had to think about her people.
Gloria and the female guard also rode on the side, and there was a female knight wearing gorgeous silver armor next to her, and there was a pair of silver armor wings behind the female knight, the armor wings were very weird, as soft as satin, but they were metallic, this was naturally Valerie, and what was even more powerful was that Valery's face armor had become the appearance of her life, and it was also soft, and she could even control the armor and smile, which made Raphael very surprised, of course, others may be shocked when they see it.
Raphael arranged everything, so he let Loren turn into a dragon and rode her to fly, and suddenly the cavalry's wildebeest was slightly scratched, and it was quiet again under the comfort of the cavalry.
Raphael just wanted to use Loren's majesty to boost morale, when he saw three small black dots appear in the air in the distance, and if you look closely, they are the figures of three demonic beasts, they soar in the sky, spinning in a circle, they probably see that Loren is a dragon, and they do not lean over.
Raphael immediately understood, and landed, and with his landing, the monster in the distance disappeared again.
As expected, there have been people around Oro who have been staring closely at the Pope and Goroli, and now Goroli has come to the barracks, these people obviously know, according to Edmund's strength, one or two air cavalry is good, it seems that Edmund has been supported, and now there are three air cavalry here alone, it is estimated that once Goroli is delayed, there will be several air cavalry coming.
Raphael thought about it and smiled, the enemy has an advantage, but it has not formed a joint force, in this case, it is good for Loran to appear, presumably the other party will be shocked, the most powerful air rider pet is of course the dragon, so that the opponent's empty rider is dragged, otherwise you have to find a way to solve these empty horses.
In Raphael's opinion, a small number of air riders are the most suitable to be air scouts.
The cavalry were a little excited, they didn't know the situation, they only knew that their Earl was actually a dragon knight. Their wildebeest seemed to sense the knight's emotions and twitched slightly, but the cavalry remained silent, and this stage of training was still very effective.
After Luo Lan landed, she used the transformation technique, but this time, of course, she didn't dare to slip away, so she could only consume more mental power and directly take the dragon armor to conjure the armor.
Raphael led the two wildebeest and Lorraine to ride, and then exclaimed: "Once, it was the great goal of my life to find a rich woman and pout my ass and dry the moldy money with her." ”
The cavalrymen immediately burst into laughter.
Gloria muttered, "Why are my two Blood Knights both billets?
Raphael smiled and whispered to Glori: "If people are not shameless, God can't save them!"
Then his face turned pale, and he continued to say loudly: "However, when I became a glorious knight, I finally understood that power and responsibility go hand in hand, and a true knight should be brave, just, merciful, and have firm faith! Because of this, I became an earl! And now, the opportunity is in front of you, as long as you defeat Edmund, his vast territory will be ours, and I will reward the meritorious soldiers!"
Nothing is more important than profit, and what could be more morale-boosting?
The cavalrymen had been training with Raphael, and had heard his rough plans, and their blood boiled.
Raphael exclaimed: "Even if we fail, it doesn't matter, we have proved our bravery, the Bishop is with us, and our future is still bright!"
It is also important to have no worries.
The cavalry immediately stared at Geroli with wide eyes.
Raphael finally slammed off his breastplate and exclaimed, "Glory is ours!"
All the horsemen let out a loud thump, and they shouted: "Glory, glory, glory!"
Raphael flicked his cloak, controlled his horse's head, and galloped away towards the outside of the camp, and the cavalry roared, turned their horses' heads, and followed Raphael closely, two thousand cavalrymen, but the momentum was like ten thousand horses galloping.
They only carried ten days of supplies, and they couldn't bring more, the volume of supplies was too large, and the wildebeest carried too much weight would affect the combat effectiveness.
After Raphael left the camp, he slowed down his horse, otherwise the wildebeest would not be able to bear it, just to mention the momentum and bravery of the cavalry, he had calculated the time accurately, and he would rush to the preset battlefield, which was a hill.
On the plains, Raphael's front team scouts are responsible for harassing the opposing scouts and paralyzing the opponent's eyes and ears as much as possible. After a day and a night of marching, they came to the hills.
Raphael stopped the group, rested on the spot, and waited for the scout's return, and after a while, the scout captain replied: "My lord, I have seen our scout brigade, they have basically cleared the plain of the enemy scouts, and the enemy's cavalry will arrive here in about a day, and the infantry will take about three days. The cavalry was scattered, and this one was about 3,000 men. ”
Although Edmund's territory is large, it is mostly a deserted place, and the prosperous places are basically close to the river, and Pavel City is not too far from Oro City.
Edmund didn't expect that Raphael had sent four hundred of St. Paul's personal guards to scout on the plains, and those empty horsemen, who did not know the progress of both sides, would not warn at all, they only cared about keeping an eye on Gloria and not letting her escape, for them, it was the greatest credit to be able to kill or target Glori.
When Raphael's cavalry heard this, they immediately became excited.
Raphael smiled calmly: "Inform those of His Majesty's personal guards, come out in two hundred, and rush to the other side of the canyon. ”
The cavalry commander Sai Wei was a little depressed, the squad scouts he sent were always killed, and those who escaped alive said that they had encountered the elite, so he could only arrange two hundred-man cavalry teams to support the ten scout teams that were spilled out at any time to investigate the situation.
However, when the Oro scouts encountered his cavalry brigade, they ran and turned in circles to harass his squad scouts, which was a major weakness of individual strength.
In the end, the two hundred cavalry were lured by the Oro scout team, and encountered the ambush of the Oro three hundred cavalry, only more than 50 people escaped, but the other party was the opposite, only more than 50 people died, and their own scout team was beaten again.
He was furious and wanted to send more cavalry, but on second thought, this might be the enemy's strategy of dividing and attacking, relying on the strong strength of St. Paul's personal guards, and the advantage of small forces.
He thought about it, and felt that the infantry in the rear was advancing very steadily, and there were a thousand specially trained archers, as long as he prevented the enemy from escaping, and the area where the plain could be marched, because of the large forests and limited breadth, he simply divided five scout squads and spread them out in the wide area of the rear, so that these scout squads did not engage the enemy, and specially gave the infantry reconnaissance.
Saiwei only sent a team of scouts at the front of the team, and more than 2,800 cavalry gathered together and headed towards Oro City, he didn't believe that if he appeared under Oro City, that dirt bun named Raphael could still wander in the wilderness?
In fact, he didn't need to investigate the situation like this at all, he just needed to prevent an ambush, so he only needed to divide a cavalry as a front team, and it was the presence of Gloria that made him always want to grasp the situation of the entire passage.
Raphael's strategy of using his individual advantage to harass was completely successful, but it didn't matter if he didn't succeed, since the opponent only had 3,000 cavalry, at most he could use the terrain to directly collide.
After that, Saiwei was not disturbed again, and he was very proud in his heart, thinking to himself, he was really afraid, right?
It was almost noon, and Saiwei looked at a dirt slope in the distance and said, "Let's rest here and arrange a sentry on the slope." ”
The scout team had already gone to the dirt slope, but Saiwei didn't wait for the scouts, there were more such dirt slopes encountered in front, and they didn't encounter any enemies, the team was still moving, suddenly, Saiwei saw a black spot in the distant sky, doing a kind of flying trick, it was Edmund's air rider who found out that the situation was wrong, and flew up to warn Saiwei.
