"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look!" Liang Ke pointed to the simple sand table that he had temporarily built with sand and said: "The location where we are camping now is in the inlet of Moon Lake, more than 400 steps at the north and south ends, just surrounding our more than 5,000 sergeants in the middle, this width is very suitable for the deployment of the cavalry of the brigade, I calculate, if there are more than 2,000 cavalry, it can form a good encirclement of us." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The drop from the opposite dune to the center of our camp is less than 20 meters, and the distance in a straight line is about two miles, and the west side of the dune is also a small gentle slope downward, but the drop is even smaller. The terrain was ideal for cavalry raids from the west, and the dunes were like a wall that obscured our view as the enemy swooped down through the low bushes and down the gentle slopes, reaching the peak of our camp. ”

Liang Ke moved the candle flame in his hand backwards and continued: "Behind us is the Moon Lake, now that the lake has been civilized, I asked the dwarven warriors who went to the ice to catch fish just now, those ice can be broken through at once, I am afraid it will be difficult to bear the weight of our cavalry, not to mention that we are still carrying those heavy ordnance." ”

General Mingo touched his jaw and leaned over and asked, "How deep is the lake?"

Rory, who was standing behind, hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Last year, it rained in autumn on the prairie, and the lake rose a lot, and it is estimated that the deepest place is five or six meters!"

Ming Ge pinched the bridge of his nose and motioned for Liang Ke to continue.

"My lords, based on the current intelligence, it is possible that a military force is trying to attack us here, and those reindeer are a cover they use to cover their whereabouts. Of course, all this is just my personal speculation, and I have sent scouts, believing that further information will come in soon. ”

After listening to Liang Ke's analysis, the generals all looked at General Mingge with strange expressions, and after a long time, Mingge noticed everyone's puzzled eyes, and then he suddenly realized, and snorted heavily in his nose.

"I didn't have any drills scheduled. ”

Only then did everyone realize the seriousness of the problem after receiving the general's confirmation, and they all discussed in low voices the reliability of this information and Liang Ke's reasoning.

"General, I don't think there will be a regular army riding reindeer in the Empire, so how can such a large military force appear in this vicinity?" Herman's old boss, Colonel Ba Lian, broke the dreary atmosphere first.

"Yes, in the Empire's army system, there should be no such team in the Great Plains of Biaso. A staff officer said.

"Is it possible that a mercenary group or an expedition group is passing by?"

"Probably not, except for some animals and rare magical beasts in the Biasso Plain, there is nothing good for the expedition group to discover, and the barrenness here is second only to the orcs in the Great Wasteland of Omnia. If you want to talk about mercenary groups, Samana has a few of them, but they are all small teams of less than 100 people, and they usually take on some short jobs to escort caravans to Ambrizette, how can they come to this place where rabbits don't? If you want to say the most likely, it is 'white-haired wind'. The white-haired wind was the group of bandits who used to attack caravans on the Great Plains of Biasso, and their number reached 5,000 at their peak, but this was almost twenty years ago, and since the merchants stopped taking this road, this group of bandits has disappeared. Rory decisively dismissed the speculation.

"Yes, there are bandits, what are they robbing us professional soldiers? ”

"Yes, we need money but no money, we need food but no food, do the bandits also need weapons to defend the city?"

"That's strange, since there are no large military organizations around here, how did these hoof prints come from?"

"Did these reindeer suddenly gain weight?"

"Maybe it's not a reindeer at all, it's some other animal, just here to drink some water. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, we've all been so nervous lately, we've scared ourselves. ”

"It can't be said that the cautious attitude of Lieutenant Colonel Aragon is still worth learning......"

The officers began to discuss it, and just when everyone could not make up their minds, the animal skin curtain of the tent opened, and Piedro returned wrapped in cold air.

"General, Lord Aragon. We followed the orders of the adults, and followed the hoof prints, which disappeared by a small river about fifteen miles west of Moon Lake, which was shallow, no more than fifteen meters wide, and had melted to the point where there was only a small amount of broken ice, and I looked at the other side to make sure that they were following the river, but it was not known whether they were downstream or upstream. We picked up some fallen grain by the river, and found a piece of leather rope in the river, the general, please see. As he spoke, Piedro took out a cloth bag and a piece of leather rope from his leather bag, which opened to reveal a handful of corn stained with dirt.

Liang Ke took the small piece of leather rope in his hand and rubbed it, put it to his nose and sniffed it, then handed it to General Mingge, and said with certainty: "General, this is the whip of the horsewhip." ”

"Oh?

"Yes, the leather rope has been beaten for many years, and it has shed its skin and become very soft, and it still smells of animal feces. ”

Ming Ge also learned from Liang Ke to put the leather rope to his nose and sniffed it, nodded and said, "It is indeed from the horsewhip." ”

Liang Ke saw that Ming Ge's face was also solemn, and he hurriedly persuaded: "General, these people use reindeer to skillfully hide their whereabouts and carefully observe our must-operate place, I think this must not be accidental." Fortunately, we found out in time, and now we can deploy it calmly. ”

Minggo glanced at the audience, casually threw the leather rope into the sand table, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Since they are coming, then we will let them have no return." Now to discuss the combat plan, the staff said first, and the others added......"

Tonight, the snow drifted on the edge of the moon lake, but it did not affect the soft light of the crescent moon in the sky, and those fine snowflakes fell to the ground with the slight north wind, and were illuminated by the white moonlight, flashing a little faint light, like the ground was covered with beautiful diamonds, but before this beauty could be carefully appreciated, it was trampled by a huge horse's hoof wrapped in animal skin, followed by another, and then many, innumerable.

Locke sat firmly on his white wind fang, which was covered with black spots, the harmony between man and beast was as if it were poured together, Locke gently pulled down the mask, calmed down a little excited, and a little nervous, he quickly went through the whole plan again in his mind, confirming that there was no problem from tracking to choosing an ambush point to hiding traces, and then he was relieved to let his subordinates dismount and take off the hoof cloth that affected the charge of the mount. His father had been preparing for this raid for a long time, and he was convinced that he, as the executor of this operation, must ensure that his plan was 100% successful. Locke looked back at the more than 2,000 elite horsemen, and when everyone got back on their mounts, pulled down the mask of the helmet, and held the riding gun in his hand, he waved his hand slightly, and the mount under him began to slowly increase speed, and the cavalry behind him was like a lake thrown into a boulder, and the waves of people surged straight towards the sand dunes in an instant.

Liang Ke crouched on the ground and desperately adjusted his breathing, he had already heard the rumbling hooves, and there was a kind of nervousness in his heart that could not be concealed, he had not experienced life and death, he had been a soldier in his previous life, and he had killed people in this life, but this kind of large-scale legion battle was the first time, he had surpassed the cycle of life and death, but he still couldn't be fearless. Liang Ke turned his head to look at the equally nervous guards beside him, perhaps, this fear came from his concern for his lover and his hands and feet.

Five breaths, just five breaths, Locke led those elite cavalry to the top of the slope, and when he lifted the reins and crossed the bushes without hesitation, a faint smile appeared on his face. Yes, the scouts' report was very accurate, the recruits did not even realize that they had fallen into their trap, and the sentries at the bottom of the slope had just heard the sound of hooves and woke up from their sleep, so they lit a few torches and shone on the gentle slope, and a few soldiers reluctantly walked up the slope with their halberds in their arms, trying to see what was going on.

Locke sat on the white wind fang and smiled, he always felt that his father was too cautious, more than two thousand elite knights with white hair, against five thousand rookies with heavy baggage, do you need any strategy? This is completely superfluous. However, since this ploy can save a few drops of blood from the soldiers under his command, that is also what he wants to see. The sound of hooves was like thunder, the north wind was like knives, and the rookies on the opposite side were getting closer and closer, and Locke had already seen those fools throw their halberds and run back to the camp in a desperate manner, and he smiled and pulled out his long scimitar, raised it high above his head, put his tongue on his teeth, and roared; Behind him, more than 2,000 cavalry, like the wings of an eagle, followed in a rhythmic pace, bringing all the new troops in the bay into the attack.

General Mingo's hand holding the knife trembled slightly, he had to seize the best time, he knew that once his order was issued, it would change the life and death of many people, he hid behind cover, he couldn't see where the enemy was, he could only judge by the sound how far away they were. Closer, closer, he felt the earth begin to tremble, with the help of the reflection of the bronze mirror, he had clearly seen the enemy's Sensen cavalry spear, he felt his heart about to jump out of his chest, this feeling of blood surging made it difficult for him to control himself, so he jumped up from the ground and roared to the sergeants behind him: "Straight ahead, trebuchet fire oil bombs, fire." ”

In an instant, crockpots filled with fire oil rose into the sky with faint flames, and landed in a graceful arc among the cavalry who were galloping at high speed on the hillside, and then exploded with a bang. The viscous oil splattered with a terrible green flame, burning the leather-clad hussars as they roared and rolled off their mounts, and were trampled into patties by their companions behind them. On the vast hillside, the sporadic fire oil did not cause much damage to the cavalry, although Locke already knew that the plan had been discovered, but relying on the advantage of geography and troops, he still thought that it was safe to deal with these recruits, so he did not look back, and rushed to the barracks by the lake without looking back.

Although the lethality of those oil fillers was extremely limited, they played a good lighting role, and almost at the same time as the oil fills exploded, a row of crossbow arrows thicker than the throwing guns were "aggressive" Plunged into the cavalry's charging formation, followed by another round of bed crossbow shot into the cavalry in front of the necessary place, the bed crossbow to the cavalry lethality is more limited, but the arrow shaft that is deeply rooted in the ground is like a tripping horse rope that suddenly grows out of the ground, those riding beasts in the high-speed gallop, as long as they scrape a little, they can't avoid the result of people turning over on their backs, for a time the knights even carry people with their mounts down, and the knights behind have fallen down one after another. Locke lifted the reins of his horse, and overturned his companions, secretly scolding these Garent's soldiers for being shameless, but fortunately, most of them had already rushed through the "thorny ground" full of arrows, and the losses of the team behind him were not heavy, but the speed was not as fast as before. It's nothing, as long as we kill the barracks, those quail-like new troops are not at our disposal.
