Chapter 110: The Vanishing Flame

The soldiers of Frost Fort are in formation. ()

Due to the presence of cavalry as a countermeasure, the cavalry of the Frost Castle did not arrange too many soldiers on the flanks, and the Uxhall people did not have cavalry troops anyway, so the soldiers of the Frost Castle only needed to concentrate their forces in the center of the line and then attract as many Uxhall people as possible. Wright's cavalry came at a good time, and in this case, the collapse of the Uxhall people was a matter of time.

The general of the Frost Fort had a force of nearly a thousand men in front of them, these were the most physically adequate part of the soldiers, and behind them, there were more than three hundred follow-up troops. The remaining troops were only arranged on the flanks as cover. The formation of the people of Frost Castle is now a clenched fist, ready to strike forward violently.

The Uxhall responded, however, as they seemed to ignore the cavalry of Frost Castle and gathered their soldiers in the middle, with the scouts estimating that they had at least two thousand troops in the middle. On the flanks, with only a group of light infantry maintaining a loose formation--- the general of the Uxhall must be a fool, and if they were to deploy the formation like this, it would only take two or three charges from Wright for the Uxhall to collapse.

The two sides began to beat the drums of war, and the two armies confronted each other without giving in. For the unusual courage of the Uxhall people, the soldiers of the Frost Fort still appreciate it, although in the hearts of the soldiers of the Frost Castle, the Uxhall people will eventually escape--- these people are no different from those noble armies that calculate each other, just for show, if it is not for the too weak opponent, or when it comes to the moment of life and death, the combat effectiveness of the Westerners will not be very high.

The scarlet banners of battle were flying, the winter wind was blowing on the plains, and the armor of the soldiers looked a little gray in the cold weather, but under the gray sky, these armors and the swords and shields of the soldiers were undoubtedly one of the brightest things.

In the midst of a shout, the people of Frost Castle attacked.

The dense array of shields cracked like pomegranates that had been broken, and the soldiers maintained their most basic shapes, fanatically fanning forward.

The Uxhall tightened their line and formed a defensive stance: this would be solid for the front, but their flanks would be more vulnerable, and as soon as the cavalry attacked, the battle would be over.

"Victory is coming".

The soldiers of Frost Fort thought to themselves.

This day, for a long time, was called the gray day.

Uhru was routed at the southern foothills of the Ebelon Forest, with more than two hundred cavalry killed and more than two-thirds of the horses lost. This was the greatest loss suffered by the Kugit dismounted cavalry since the establishment of the army, and the combat effectiveness was completely lost.

Never in Uhru's military career was he so stunned as this day: the Empire's dormant forces filled his eyes like crops growing from the ground, and these people densely blocked every stronghold and communication line in the forest. Ukhru soon discovers that he is trapped in the forest, and that a cold death awaits him.

The shouts of killing echoed inside the forest, but for those outside, what happened inside the forest was an unsolved mystery. Only a few of the wood-cutting farmers came back into the forest and described the piles of corpses all over the place, some steppe people, others Middle-earthers, whose armor had been stripped and their weapons broken to the ground.

The bodies have never been disposed of, as the vast majority of them are Kujits.

Hunters do not dare to eat wolves or wild boars after hunting for a while, because they often find fragments of armor and bone residues in the stomachs of these beasts--- and people do not want to think about what these residues are.

And on the edge of a small lake south of the town of Lurens, the Mamluks of Salander were surrounded.

These Mamluks were besieged by a sudden influx of soldiers while resting in a village. These soldiers were well-armed and fiercely attacked the Mamluks from a distance. The Mamluks panicked and immediately resisted with the fence around the village.

But half an hour later, the outnumbered Imperial soldiers poured into the village. The Mamluks had no choice but to abandon the village and run south.

The encounter between these two cavalry units was only part of the nightmare of the soldiers of Frost Fort that day.

On the northern shore of the Blue Waters, a new army was attacked by at least four hundred light cavalry and suffered heavy losses. The recruits had been recruited from the high ground, and they had been told that the road was safe, so the force chose the north bank of the Bluewater, which was closer and had avenues. When the soldiers spotted the cavalry, they thought it was their own troops, and it wasn't until the cavalry attacked that the recruits, who had not experienced the battle, began to panic.

Outside the city of Uxhall, the Rhodok ships alerted the Frost Fort soldiers in the city: at first, the Rhodoks only noticed a small group of soldiers moving along the riverbank, but later on, the Rhodoks noticed frightening smoke and dust rising from the north bank of the Bluewater River. It was only at this time that Rhodok realized that it was the Western Corps in the lower reaches of the Blue Water River that had arrived.

The Rhodoks warn the Frostcasters that about 3,000 soldiers are approaching from downstream.

As it turned out later, the numbers of the Rhodok were more accurate. A total of 2,900 infantry, archers, and 300 light cavalry from the Harungoth fortress on the lower reaches of the Blue Water River arrived on this day less than a hundred miles west of the city of Uxhall.

This force had been stationed downstream, and the scouts had observed the garrison of this force, but the generals mistakenly thought that this force was for the defense of Suno in the north, so they paid less attention to it. So when this force suddenly crossed into the Uxhall theater of operations, the people of Frostburg were taken aback.

At the same time as the troops of Harungosburg arrived, several units of the Suno theater of operations launched an attack at the same time.

On this day, almost all the strongholds established by the Eastern Army were attacked. With the exception of the soldiers in Uxhall who were not attacked--- the soldiers on the periphery were caught in the storm of the counteroffensive almost overnight.

Constantly there are sentry posts that have been completely wiped out, and even the alarm has been issued and disappeared into the plain; Some of the troops who had been stationed outside the garrison were able to flee to the Blue Water River after heavy losses, and these people crossed the river in panic; There were also new recruits and baggage troops sniped--- and the fresh blood from the highlands was threatened by an unknown number of light cavalry, and the road to safety in the past was already dangerous.

On this day, the commander of the Eastern Army in the city of Uxhall received the same reports of the battle as the previous days, and every place was asking for information, asking for support, or asking for explanations.

The commander was extremely angry, because he didn't know about such a big deployment of the enemy, especially the Harungos who suddenly entered the war zone, the news of the arrival of these people should have been known to him two days in advance, but it was indeed the Rhodok people who informed him in advance.

The commander reprimanded his scout captain: "You idiot, if the Rhodoks don't tell me, when the Harongoths flood the city the day after tomorrow, I will climb to the top of the tower and ask who the damn they are?" Where do they come from? Where are they going? ”

The scout captain was covered in cold sweat and was at a loss: he focused his main energy on the north, and did not pay too much attention to the enemy on the west flank, since he had judged from the beginning that they would go north. Information in that direction was mainly given to the Svadian retainers of Frost Castle, and General Wright's men kept reporting that there was no problem in that direction.

Haraus lurked in the grass like a lion, and when his prey had shown all its weaknesses, he struck out and disrupted the enemy's disposition at once. What is even more worrying is that whether it is the Harongos or the Suno, these people's troops are formed and trained by the local generals themselves, and they are not the most elite troops of Harlaus--- Harauth's troops have not appeared on the battlefield until now.

And even so, the soldiers of Uxhall's Frost Fort were overwhelmed by the sudden deterioration of the situation.

The north bank of the Bluewater River.

The father rode among the soldiers and charged forward with them. This battle is just one of many battles that will be fought on the plains today.

The soldiers of Frost Fort are impeccable indeed, and after a night's rest, they have regained their vitality. That's just the best Rhodok my father has ever seen.

The soldiers at the front of the Frost Castle wrapped strips of cloth around their helmets--- and due to the similarity of the armor of the two soldiers, the soldiers of the Frost Castle often had to wear their own symbols before going into battle--- sometimes tying some white flannel cloth to their right arms.

Soon, dozens of soldiers and dozens of people in a team crashed into the line of the Uxhall people, and the sound of shields clashing one after another. The Uxhall archers fired a single shot of arrows and then retreated to the back of the line, and after the archers had disappeared behind their shields, the spearmen set up their spears and waited for the Frost Castle soldiers to collide.

The Frost Castle people sacrificed the stability of the formation in exchange for the impact in exchange for the results, and the Uxhall people couldn't resist and began to slowly retreat. It was a contest of courage and strength, and the soldiers on both sides were pushing hard.

The strips of cloth tied to the heads of the people of Frost Castle fluttered in the wind, more ethereal than their tassels. The eastern soldiers sometimes even lost their shields and, like the Nord berserkers, grabbed their two-handed axes and frantically jumped into the Uxhall to slash at them.

The soldiers of Frost Fort were attacking with all their might, and the Uxhall people were a little nervous even on the front.

Father looked at Wright's soldiers from above the horses, and the men seemed to hesitate. Father didn't know where Wright was standing, and he would see him soon.

People were waiting for Wright to deliver the final blow.

Amid the shouts of the soldiers, Wright's cavalry began to move. Some of the cavalry raised their banners, red banners.

The cavalry began to quicken, and the trembling and roaring of the earth had gradually drowned out the screams of the soldiers.

My father looked at the battle flags in a trance.

For a moment, my father was stunned.

What about the flames?
