Chapter Seventy-One: The Bloody Battle

"This is a war letter to us. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Hebrew leaned back in his chair and threw his feet on the table without hesitation.

"That's the best! I wanted to tell you when I first came here that those bunnies were sneaking up on us all day long, and we had to carry our pants when we went out to pee!

"Fight, fight, fight, are you afraid of a bird?" Seeing that Hebrew did not react, Connor raised his voice again.

"Connor, sit down!" he just lifted his ass before the Nordax reprimanded.

"I'm worried that they're cheating, after all, now that they occupy Tallinn, they don't have to go out of the city to fight us. Hebrew looked at the letter repeatedly, but in just a few lines he could discern something.

"I think it's probably because they don't have a lot of food in stock, and judging from the fact that they attacked the nearby villages, they were all going for it. Cosimo said on the side.

"Grain... Hehe, that's not it, the batch of grain that Budapest shipped to Tallinn before was robbed by them, it was 100,000 stone of grain. Hebrew's heart aches to think about it, because they have lost that amount of food, and they are now only able to eat two meals a day.

"Although there is a lot of food for 100,000 deniers, it has been half a year now, and they can no longer get food from other sources. As an upper commander, this question will not be thought of. Cosimo said.

"Well, that makes sense. If that's the reason for this, we might be facing an unusually formidable enemy led by a brilliant commander. ”

Hebrew then asked, "How long can we have enough food and grass?"

Nodax, who was in charge of logistics, replied: "Because we have hundreds of thousands of people in the city now, we can't produce normally during the war, and it is conservatively estimated that it can last for half a year." ”

Hebrew sighed, "It seems that we can only fight with them." ”

"Okay! Let my team play the striker! I promise to kill him without a piece of armor!" Connor finally couldn't sit still.

"If you don't listen to the command, let you defend the city, and if you listen to the command, you will be given an important position, so that you can go to the battle. Hebrew smiled slightly, the berserker is still very easy to deceive, it's just a matter of means.

"Now announce the battle mission, Nordacus, you lead all the conscripts and give you two archers to defend the city. ”

"Marshal, take all the regular troops out, and give me three conscripts brigade is enough. Noldax replied, standing up.

Hebrew shook his head, "I'm worried about what they are trying to do, so it's better to be careful." Budapest is now the largest city in the western frontier of the empire, and it must not be lost. "Nodax gave the order.

"General Cosimo, I'll take a trip to Ankara tonight. Let Prince Schwab make sure to launch an attack on Tallinn tomorrow. Although he was puzzled, Cosimo didn't ask any questions. "Then tomorrow morning, while their city is empty. You and the two Magisters and all the high-level mages infiltrate the place where the magic circle is, and make sure to seal the magic circle. This matter is very important, and please be careful. ”

Cosimo stood up and saluted him: "Never live up to the marshal's trust." ”

"Okay, everyone go back and rest early, and leave early tomorrow morning. ”

"Wait, what about us?" Connor listened for a moment without hearing his name, and suddenly became anxious.

"Come with me, those are special missions, they are not at war with the enemy, are you going to participate?" Hebrew asked rhetorically.

"Oh, oh, no, no, I'll fight with you. Connor scratched his head in embarrassment and let out a hearty laugh. This honest appearance made everyone laugh, but it diluted the tension of the war a lot.

The next morning, before dawn, the gates of Budapest were quietly opened, and a group of men and horses plunged into the nearby forest under the cover of night.

Yesterday afternoon, the alien soldiers had arrived ten kilometers away from Budapest, and in order to avoid the alien light cavalry, Cosimo led them all the way behind them under the cover of the forest. For the sake of safety, Qinglong stayed in the nearest valley and was ready to respond.

In the morning, smoke rose from the city of Budapest, and the man took out some of the jerky from the city, and it was not long before the smell of meat wafted out of the pot. Although they are three times the number of the other party, their previous experience with other races tells them that today may really be a day without return.

By the end of the day, the three gates of Budapest were wide open at the same time, and a large number of knights poured out of the north and south gates at the same time. The light cavalry at the south gate and the heavy cavalry at the north gate came out in order. The first to rush out of the west gate facing the enemy were two squadrons of heavy infantry, the spears of nearly three meters flashed with silver light, and the steel shield more than one person high was carried by two people. Then came two whole brigades of light infantry, and the light infantry wearing long swords and small shields walked very fast, and at this time the cavalry on both sides circled and met at the gate of the city. At the back of the hall were five squadrons of longbowmen, each wearing three pots of arrows, with a longbow of one meter and eight meters long on their backs. The armor of the longbowmen is the simplest, and for faster mobilization, the longbowmen are uniformly dressed in leather armor.

It has to be said that the military strength of Oslan is still very strong, and even the armor of the light cavalry and light infantry is wrapped in chain mail in vital parts. As for the light infantry brigade of the Praetorian Guard, they were simply chainmail and steel helmets, and if it weren't for the fact that their weapons were long swords, Hebrew would probably have assigned them to the heavy infantry ranks.

When the city of Budapest sent troops, the fence on the alien side was also torn to the ground by Qi Brush. At least five squadrons of light cavalry released the reins at the same time, and the mounts that were ready to attack rushed down like arrows from the string. These cavalrymen were all equipped with similar equipment, and they were all assembled armor of bamboo and iron. The shoulder pads on both sides are very exaggeratedly open, as are the steel helmets on the head, like specially opened wings. The cavalry's weapons varied depending on the squad they belonged to, and it was only then that they learned that not all foreign light cavalry were armed with bows and arrows. Only the light cavalry of the long sword carried a short bow on their backs, and the light cavalry of the other squads also had a variety of weapons. There are spears, twin hammers, long knives, and halberds that have been lost on the continent for a long time.

In the history of the continent of Shusyare, there was a period of war for a long time. At that time, the continent was divided into hundreds of countries, and wars broke out every day, which also made it impossible for each country to form a regular cavalry. In those days, all warriors who could grab a horse in battle were a cavalryman. So in those days there were a variety of cavalry weapons, and there were even quite a few melee weapons. The most common of these are spears and knives.
