School yard inside the East Gate of Hyde City.

Eight thousand Newingman infantry lined up in a phalanx, each young face showing the excitement and restlessness of the pre-battle battle.

Sixty-year-old Sèvres, dressed in white armor, stepped into the parade platform in high spirits, followed by eight officers who were the eight commanders of the 8,000-strong infantry.

"Men of the Empire, I am glad for you, and I am glad that you have been given the opportunity to defend the interests of the Empire on the battlefield at such an age, and to display the enthusiasm of your youth. When I was younger, sadly, I wasn't as lucky as you. But now, on the battlefield outside the city, we will fight side by side, defending the rights and interests of the empire with the weapons in our hands, and defending the dignity of the knights. Our opponent is Tork Orlando, son of King Fabre 'Camp 'the Lion' and Crown Prince of Fabre. Go on, young warriors, let your life be sublimated in the flames of war!"

Sèvre's pre-war mobilization not only inspired the 8,000 soldiers in the audience, but also made his own blood boil.

"Long live! Long live the Newman Empire! Long live the Emperor!"

The shouts of 8,000 people rang out like a tsunami of mountains.

"Open the gates, attack!"

With Sèvre's order, the gates of Hyde City were slowly opened, and Sèvres rushed out first, followed by eight thousand Imperial soldiers in full stride.

Two quarters of an hour later, the two armies confronted each other in the distance on the plain outside the city.

Fabre's 1,000-strong cavalry formation was spread out, separated by considerable distances, and the entire formation was scattered into a military formation nearly four miles long, and the distance between the front and rear of the military formation was only about fifty paces. The army formation of Newingman was divided into three parts, with the main group of 4,000 men in the middle forming a regular square shape, and the two sides were guarded by 2,000 men each. The whole formation was decent, it seemed tight and thick, and it did not give the opponent the slightest opportunity, which was obviously the result of Sèvres's three years of military training.

Although the Newingman side had the initiative and absolute superiority on the battlefield, and was significantly stronger than the opponent in terms of morale and troops, Sèvres did not blindly attack his opponent.

After observing the enemy for about a quarter of an hour, Sèvres ordered the troops to launch the first round of attacks on the opposing side.

I saw that the main force in the center of the ground, composed of 4,000 infantry, was the first to press the enemy, but the advance speed was obviously half a beat slower, while the two flanks of the ground guard corps were much faster, and finally formed an inverted triangle formation to press the opponent.

Sèvres had a clear aim, to encircle the opponent's cavalry with superior forces, and to destroy the "remnants" of the opposing cavalry after restricting the mobility of the opposing cavalry.

When the left and right flanks of Sèvres's army advanced to about five hundred paces from the Tork cavalry formation, the cavalry contingent, which had not moved, began to shrink and gather in the center to relieve the tremendous pressure on the Neuengman flanks on their formation.

When Sèvres saw the Fabre cavalry concentrating in the center, a smile appeared on his lips, everything was expected by him, and now as long as he intercepted the opponent's retreat, then Tuk Orlando would become a caged bird with wings and could not fly.

Under the command of Sèvres, the infantry on the left and right flanks increased the speed of their advance, and the formation was gradually lengthened from the original rectangle.

Sèvres, who was worthy of being a highly talented graduate of the Imperial Royal Military Academy, immediately saw the weakness of the left and right flanks, and hurriedly ordered the Central Army to send an additional thousand infantry to each of the two flanks, so as to avoid the infantry being outflanked by the enemy's cavalry.

However, only about half a minute after Sèvres had given the order, Tork Orlando's 1,000 cavalry went into action. Surprisingly, instead of ordering his troops to retreat or attacking the flanks in search of a breakthrough, he went straight to the central cluster where Sevr was located on the opposite side.

Didn't they kill themselves? They had already put up an obvious pocket formation, didn't the other party see the potential danger and still drill into the trap I had set?

Although the 1,000 cavalry under Tork Orlando appeared to be scattered in the offensive formation, it was undeniable that they advanced at an unusually fast pace. Sèvres had just ordered the central cluster to prepare for battle, and Traucer had already taken the lead in charging into Sèvres' infantry array. The two flanks, who had been tasked with outflanking the enemy's rear, had not yet figured out what was going on, and the tidal cavalry had already rushed past them and rushed straight to their central cluster.

The battle had only been going on for a moment, and it was already clear to Sèvres that something was not quite right. The opposing cavalry did not show the cavalry assault tactics that the army should have, and did not have too much impact on their entire formation, as if they did not want to break through. However, despite this, the fighting power of those cavalry surprised Sever, most of them in their teens and twenties in small groups, and as soon as they rushed into their infantry phalanx, they launched fierce attacks on the infantry around them, and they showed considerable combat strength and will. Even if their own troops have an advantage in strength and formation, the attrition of the troops on both sides seems to be more on their own.

After a moment's hesitation, the infantry on the left and right flanks of the Newingman Empire began to turn and move closer to the center in order to intercept the retreat of the thousand Fabre cavalry and finally encircle it.

As the battle continued, the infantry on the left and right flanks of the empire finally completed the task of encirclement, and pounced on the Fabre cavalry, who were fighting against their central group, in an attempt to encircle the "remnant army", and the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically.

The four thousand cavalry who had been waiting in the shadows for a long time appeared on the battlefield under the leadership of Li Yuxuan.

It was not like 4,000 cavalrymen, but 4,000 tigers. Only the sound of horses' hooves resounded in the sky, and countless cavalry rose from the horizon like an overwhelming dark cloud, sweeping across the entire battlefield.

Like the thousand cavalrymen who had appeared, they did not have a neat sequence of battles, but they used their weapons to tell their enemies that they were invincible.

Under such a powerful momentum and sudden attack, the infantry on the left and right flanks turned one after another, but due to the confusion of the previous outflanking and the fact that the formation arranged by Sèvres was too close, there was a sudden collision and crowding between the soldiers.

As a matter of fact, what Li Yuxuan wanted was the word "chaos," and "winning in chaos" was his established policy in this battle.

Li Yuxuan, who had commanded many cavalry battles and fought against the strongest infantry in the southern part of the mainland, knew very well that if his improvised cavalry team fought face-to-face with the enemy's regular army, he would definitely lose. The dense formation of the regular infantry of the Newman Empire was definitely not something that could be broken through by the temporary motley cavalry, and the "chiseling tactic" that he was best at using cavalry to penetrate the opponent's formation would not play a role here. Therefore, he first used Teucer's 1,000 cavalry to induce the opponent to change the formation, and used the high-speed mobility of the cavalry to cause a certain degree of confusion to the enemy infantry, and finally launched an attack with the main force, causing a great confusion to the enemy's entire infantry formation from behind. Once the opponent's formation is in great confusion, its original strengths will be suppressed, and at the same time, it will give full play to the advantages of the wandering knight's strong individual combat ability, and attack the enemy's shortcomings with his own strengths.

As the sun sets, a remnant of the sun reflects the blood-soaked land, and the original loess also takes on a shocking dark red color because of the blood flowing on it.

At this moment, Li Yuxuan and Teucer were standing side by side on the walls of Hyde City, overlooking the sea of corpses and blood below the walls. Many people were doing the work of cleaning up the aftermath, and the corpses of all the soldiers on the Fabre side were buried on the spot, while the corpses of nearly 6,000 soldiers of the Newingman Empire were piled up into three mountains of corpses, which were thrown into large pits and burned one by one, and the thick black smoke and pungent stench rose to the sky, filling the sky for dozens of miles.

"This is war, merciless war!"

After this battle, the young Crown Prince Fabre seemed to have a growing disgust with war, and the endless bloodshed and killing made the seventeen-year-old red-haired boy realize that war was not what he had originally imagined, but a proof of glory and dignity.

"It seems that you are starting to hate war!" Li Yuxuan said with a hint of obvious mockery on his face.

"Teacher, do you think this is a disgusting and boring act?"

"If you think it's boring, then you can choose to give up now, why bother with the enemy, I'm glad to have a peace-loving apprentice!"

Li Yuxuan's half-truths made the young Teucer unclear what he really thought in his heart.

"Teacher, what do you think war is?" asked Teucer.

"A means of resolving contradictions, a most straightforward means!"

"A means of resolving contradictions?"

"Yes, of course, it is not necessary to use such means to resolve contradictions, but when contradictions develop to an irreconcilable point and even threaten one's own life, then war may become the only means of resolving contradictions. ”

"Even so, I still think that war is too cruel and I don't like it. Teucer stood by his vision of war.

"If you were born into an ordinary family, I think you would have a happy life. Unfortunately, from the day you were born, fate destined you to learn this cruel method, and to try to demand that you use it perfectly. ”

"Am I not going to have any other choice?"

"There is only one choice, which is to give up everything you have now, your family, your status, and your birthright power!" Li Yuxuan's tone was obviously a little heavy when he said this.

"If you were a teacher, what would the teacher choose?"

"I have already chosen, and I am destined to be unable to turn back, because I have lost the meaning of looking back!"

Li Yuxuan closed his eyes, and what came to his mind was the scene of Bai Ruolan dying in his arms.
