Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Southern Frontier (Part II)

July 21, 1453 in the solar calendar. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the eastern skyline turned white, a huge fleet broke through the waves. The sea level is cut into countless graceful lines, and countless waves are constantly rolling. Until now, the fleet has not extinguished their torches, for they are like beacons in the sea, giving hope to the lost lambs.

On the fleet's tall flagship, a handsome man sat in the bow, his curly blond hair glistening in the rising sun, and a confident smile on his lips. Today this is destined to be his stage, and he leisurely sipes red wine, as if it were not a war, but just a light and enjoyable game.

"Captain, look! Our reinforcements are coming!" one soldier shouted excitedly.

The torches of the fleet brought something called hope to the dead city, and the streets and alleys were crowded with people, and the morale of the soldiers, which had been low, was once again high! On the contrary, when the first torches appeared on the other side of the sea in the silent night, the hearts of the dark elves sank to the bottom.

The division commander of the Dark Legion quickly abandoned the siege, as his task was to hold off the enemy reinforcements from the sea. His Majesty the Emperor and the Senate are well aware of the strength of the maritime power of the Republic of Sardinia. The battle plan was drawn up in anticipation of reinforcements from the sea, and if the enemy landed from Marrakech, the Dark Legion would have to delay for at least three days, waiting for reinforcements from the central breakthrough to arrive to form a siege. If the enemy lands from the port of Fez, the Dark Legion will take Marrakech and move quickly eastward, while the Dark Legion in the center will rush to the eastern front to support and complete the encirclement. As for why the enemy did not break through from the center, that is, to land reinforcements at Shaivan to destroy the Night Legion in one fell swoop?

The Eastern Fleet of the Night Empire had already set sail a week ago, and after obtaining the tacit approval of the Listan Empire, they quietly passed through the Bosphorus Strait in the East, and that strait was the eastern gateway to the inland sea, so the Eastern Fleet of the Dark Elves quietly appeared in the Republic of Sardinia!

Along the way, although the Eastern Fleet was advancing in a covert way, it was impossible not to be aware of it in the Inland Sea, in the back garden of its own home, the Republic of Sardinia.

The Eastern Fleet had indeed been discovered, and his route was clear, that is, Shaivan! But the Republic of Sardinia was not willing to gnaw on this hard bone now. If there was only the Eastern Fleet, then they would have sunk into the Inland Sea to feed the sharks, but in the Inland Sea, there is not only the Eastern Fleet of Dark Elves, but they have also invited a mysterious helper from the far north, which is definitely a rather difficult opponent.

If the Republic of Sardinia insists on a decisive battle at sea, then it will undoubtedly slow down the pace of their reinforcements, even if they annihilate the Eastern Fleet of the Dark Elves and their mysterious helpers, as long as they slow down the pace of their reinforcements, they have already achieved their strategic goal. What's more, the attitude of the Listan Empire in the east of the Republic of Sardinia is very ambiguous, and the Sardinians have to leave a fleet to monitor the movements of the Listan people, if it is really unfortunate that the Republic of Sardinia loses their fleet, then the fate of the Republic can be imagined next.

The plan made by His Majesty the Night Emperor and the Senate was simply perfect, as they knew that the strength of their opponents was never on land. And the most critical part of this is that the Night Legion must break through in the center, otherwise both ends will fall into an embarrassing situation, and the 30,000 horses urgently transferred to Fez in Shaivanzhong are also part of the perfect plan of the Dark Elf elves.

But the Republic of Sardinia also knows that their strength has never been on land!

At an unimaginable speed, more than 1,000 huge fleets were mobilized, and 120,000 people from 20 army corps of the entire two group armies were assembled.

Sailing and sailing the ****** is the dream of every Sardinian boy, and now their journey will be a sea of stars!

In the harbor of Marrakech, ship after boat, the citizens have gone from the initial amazement and frenzy to now a little numb. They were deeply shocked by their motherland! How many people were there! Countless soldiers and horses poured down from the ships like a tide on the harbor, and when they drove to the garrison in an orderly manner, countless large ships brought more soldiers and horses! There were even formed cavalry among them! They were actually transported with men and horses!

With the masts on the docks obscuring the sky, the ships coming and going, and the flags of the three great families fluttering in the wind, you'll be able to experience the true horror of the Republic's war machine as it begins to turn!

The strongest of the Republic lies in the sea! More than 2,000 ships of various types have transported the men and horses of the entire two group armies, and there are even 60,000 war horses among them! The most powerful heavy cavalry regiment of the Republic has appeared!

The troops did not even rest, they were fully equipped, lined up, and after counting the number of people, they went straight out of the city!

Instead of waiting for all the troops to be assembled, only five legions of 30,000 troops formed the vanguard! And these 30,000 men were all heavy cavalry!

You must know that every heavy armored cavalry can really be described as a human bulldozer, the armor they need, as well as the bearing capacity of people, and their tall war horses, how much gold does so many heavy armored cavalry rely on to pile up!

(PS: Light Cavalry - Heavy Cavalry - Heavy Cavalry)

"Kleist Glory! Kleist Glory! Roar!"

Accompanied by the loud slogans of the knights, the rousing horn sounded! 27,000 knights led by ten heavenly knights and two thousand nine hundred and nine hundred earth-level knights launched a charge towards the dark elves' position! And at the front of the knights there was a bright gold! And the owner of that armor was the handsome man sitting in the bow of the ship!

The roar of horses' hooves, the trembling of the earth, a black torrent rushed straight to the southwest, and the flags of countless golden balances in the center of this black torrent were dancing wildly!

"Quick, quick, shoot the golden one in front!" the Dark Elf squad leader roared!

It is impossible for infantry to outrun cavalry, and the dark elves have already formed a battle formation specifically to deal with cavalry. Countless spears were raised high, aiming the cold light at the charging knight, and there were three rows of small round shields in front of the spear warrior as cover. Rows of arrows rained down on the black torrent, but the rain of arrows only caused a small number of casualties to the enemy! This unit drawn from the south did not change into powerful siege crossbows, but only carried their nimble and faster bows and arrows! However, although the bow and arrow had a faster rate of fire, it could not penetrate the enemy's armor at all!

The most important thing is their shields, these lightly armed Dark Elf warriors only carry the small round shields of the Dark Legion that they have brought with them from the south!

Although the division commander had ordered the row of small round shields in the battle formation to be turned into three groups, this still could not stop the steely torrent!

The sounds of fighting on the battlefield resounded in the sky, but most of them were the screams of the dark elves. The whole war was fought in a form akin to cutting wheat. The first row of spears pierced the bodies of the first charging knights, while the second row of knights overwhelmed the Dark Elves with the corpses of their teammates. It's not a war at all! It's a massacre!
