The next day.

Before dawn, in front of the gate of the camp, groups of soldiers had spontaneously assembled here.

No one blows a trumpet, no one beats a drum.

The soldiers of the Independent Cavalry Regiment got up in the middle of the night, they spontaneously walked out of the tents, put on their armor, wiped their weapons shiny, and the auxiliaries of the cavalry regiment were also silent, feeding the horses to the full, and the saddles were all pierced and cleaned.

The black-pressed cavalry began to assemble outside the barracks.

At first, it was threes and threes, and then more and more people gathered, one team by one, battalion by battalion.

No one spoke, and everyone, when each team arrived, spontaneously followed the previous formation, and then joined the sequence of the army in order.

This silence, the silence is terrible!

It has been said that a silent army is terrible, and it is clear that this is the case now.

Yesterday's dismissal incident deeply engraved the imprint of shame in the hearts of every cavalryman, and the face of every cavalryman was serious and abnormal.

It wasn't until dawn that Reinhardt finally appeared outside the camp, and he slowly assembled and lined up with his own personal guards and more than a thousand soldiers of the First Corps.

Looking at the cavalry brigade that had been waiting outside the camp for a long time, Reinhardt did not show any expression, just glanced at it lightly, and then turned his head and asked the unconscious officer next to him in a low voice.

The answer he got was simple: he was dismissed yesterday, and not a single cavalryman received severance pay.

On the contrary, the officer in charge of demobilization received what was handed over by the various battalions of the cavalry regiment afterwards......

Note!

A full 3,746 suicide notes!

Hearing this answer, Reinhardt's brow raised slightly.

Then he slowly rode his horse, came to the front of the cavalry brigade, sat on the horse, and looked at the black and silent team in front of him.

After a moment of silence, Reinhardt finally spoke.

"Very well, it seems that you are at least ashamed. So, prove your courage with your performance today. ”

No one in the cavalry regiment spoke, not even the officers.

Reinhardt then gave the order to be dispatched, and the cavalry regiment was still in the front, slowly moving towards the military town that had resisted the Nottings for several days.

At this moment, even the adjutant beside Reinhardt was puzzled.

I don't know what my lord has in mind.

They saw the change in the mental temperament of the officers and men of the cavalry regiment, a silent, but murderous team.

But too ......

If you are really desperate, everyone will get off their horses and climb the wall to fight, but there is no siege equipment in the team!

Even if the soldiers are willing to fight hard, they can't run and hit the enemy's wall with their heads, right?

But Reinhardt's expression was awe-inspiring, he did not speak, and no one dared to ask.

What shrouded this army was an almost lifeless silence, faint, and a little bit of grandeur.

Many people understand that the soldiers of these cavalry regiments are determined to die!

In this case, even if Reinhardt really ordered them to use their heads to smash through the enemy's walls, these soldiers who had been forced out of their will to die would not hesitate to carry it out!

Tide xx

The camp of the Northern Army was not too far from the military town of the Notins, and the cavalry set off, and it was only half an hour before they came to the outside of the Notting military town.

The dispatch of the northern army immediately aroused the vigilance of the Nottings, and a warning cry sounded in the city, and the soldiers of the Nottings could be seen nervously climbing the city wall and beginning to line up, preparing for a big battle.

Reinhardt looked coldly at the small city in front of him, and he saw that although the city was small, it was obviously fully prepared for the war, the trenches were dug very wide and deep, the walls were not high, but they were very thick and solid, the stones piled up on the head of the city, the rolling logs were abundant, and the large burning iron pots lined up at the mouths were obviously filled with fire oil and the like.

The Nottings, ready to defend the city.

However, Reinhardt only sneered in the face of such a scene, nothing more.

Tiger of Tegel Nordin?

Reinhardt snorted softly, shrugged his shoulders, and finally gave an order.

"The whole army marched around the city, and walked as close as possible to their bows and arrows!"

This is a very bold move!

Such a cavalry, without the cover of heavy armor and shields, was exposed to the air, and walked around the city one by one, although he ordered it to be close to the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, but it was difficult to ensure that there were no long-range weapons such as crossbows in the city.

But for Reinhardt's order, not a single person in the whole army objected, and those silent cavalry regiments, while marching, even deliberately walked into the range of the bows and arrows of the defenders of the city!

In the face of the stunned Notting defenders on the city wall, every cavalry cast a fierce look.

This small city is not big, and the cavalry walked slowly in a circle, but in half an hour, they had already walked most of the circle.

Finally, Reinhardt gave another order.

He deliberately brought the ranks to a halt, and then gathered hundreds of soldiers, who stood at a distance under the city walls, shouting loudly into the city.

The shouting words are not words like provocations and challenges, but just words!

"Conquer Ant X and slaughter the whole city!"

Blazing X is a place name, which is the capital city of the Notting Military Region! It is also the place where the families of the 8,000 soldiers of the Notting Army live!

"Conquer the jump, slaughter the whole city!!"

After shouting such a slogan dozens of times under the city, Reinhardt gave the order that the whole army should line up and get back on the road, and go around the city without looking back!

The direction they went in was the direction of the Notting Military Region, the capital city of the Notting people!!

The army left the city, and the Nording army in the city finally panicked!

Since the beginning of the war, Tiger has shocked the whole army with a ruthless method, gathered the families of the whole army in his own capital, let the allies take care of it, and then threatened his subordinates with the lives of his family members to fight to the death.

I have to say, he did it hard enough!

He was ruthless in letting the Allies stay and take care of his own capital! Because he knew that if it was his own Notting Army who stayed behind to take care of the capital, he was afraid that the soldiers who stayed behind might not dare to slaughter the families of his own army! And for the Allies, they would not have this concern!

But now, Reinhardt has taught this ruthless Notting Tiger a lesson with practical actions!

Fighting a war is not just by being ruthless enough.

The Notting army in the city is in chaos!

All they dared to fight hard and fight to the death before was because they knew that there was no hope of escaping, and even if they escaped back, it would be the end of the slaughter of their entire family! They were desperate here, just for such a glimmer of life, just for the idea that even if they died in battle, they could let their families survive.

But now, Reinhardt did not attack the city, but put on a posture of rushing to the capital, and the military spirit of the Nording army was immediately shaken!

The officers and men in the army were clamoring and making noise, and even the officers could not suppress it, and many officers went to see Tegel for orders.

Faced with this situation, Tegel has no better way.

He threatened the whole army with the lives of his family, but the Northern Army also used this method......"

He knew very well that no matter whether the posture made by the Northern Army was true or false, even if the enemy was just pretending, he had to drill this trap!

If he forcibly presses again, then I am afraid that these angry soldiers will mutiniate and even cut off the head of his own commander!

There was only one way in front of him, to go out of the city and pursue the Northern Army!

Even if he knew that the other party was deliberately leading him out of the city, he had no choice.

Reinhardt, on the other hand, had walked less than ten miles from the city with his troops, and ordered the whole army to stop behind a hillside and prepare for battle.

The Lei officer next to him probably also understood the intention of his main general, but there are still some people who are not at ease: what if the Notting people are not fooled and do not go out of the city to chase?

Reinhardt just smiled faintly: "He will definitely come." ”

As it turned out, Reinhardt was right.

Just as the cavalry of the Northern Army had lined up and set up a night battle posture in the wilderness behind the hillside, the pursuing team of the Nordins had already arrived in a fierce manner.

When describing a team, when the word "imposing" is spoken, there is often another meaning: hurry.

I was too worried about the family members in the capital city, so although Tegel repeatedly ordered the whole army to move steadily and slowly after leaving the city, at this time the army's heart was in turmoil, and the marching speed of the Nording army was running fast!

When the ranks of thousands of the Nording Army had rounded the hillside in front of them and found the black and silent brigade of the Separate Cavalry Regiment of the Northern Army in front of them...... "...... Their fate has actually been decided.

At this time, Reinhardt did not prepare any fancy tactics, what flanks were outflanked, what detours, what flanks were interspersed with ......" and the like were not used!

He only used the simplest and most straightforward method: the whole army assaulted!

Just push it over so hard!!

Reinhardt immediately stood in front of the whole army, and issued a cry that finally broke all the silence!!

"Rodria !!!!! forward"

Thousands of horsemen swept down, like black clouds crushing the city!!

Swords are like a forest, thousands of hooves are galloping!!

Silt xx

There is hardly any process worth describing about this night battle, the Nording army was charged by the cavalry of the Northern Army, and they were crushed with one blow! They were still willing to fight hard, but this time, they could no longer stop the iron hooves of the Northern Army!

In a field battle between the two armies, if one side is rushed and the enemy is still cavalry, then what follows is simply a one-sided massacre.

In just half an hour, the battle was over, and the thousands of troops of the Nordins were scattered, trampled back and forth by the cavalry of the Northern Army, and trampled to pieces! The defeated stragglers fled in all directions, and were chased by the cavalry into countless squads, and the wilderness was filled with the sound of wailing and crying, and the terrible sound filled the wilderness!

The red-eyed cavalry of the Northern Army, and even in the face of many Notdins who knelt down and cried and surrendered and begged for mercy, they all rushed up and slashed their heads without hesitation, so that countless Notin people were still killed after laying down their arms and giving up resistance, and it was not until Reinhardt finally ordered to accept prisoners of war that this kind of killing finally subsided.

The army pursued by the Nottings out of the city was completely annihilated, and more than half of the two banner regiments of 6,000 people who went out of the city were beheaded and more than 2,000 captured.

And the "Tiger of Notting" Tiger was also in the chaos, surrounded by the pursuing cavalry, and finally had to lay down his arms and surrender, if it were not for Reinhardt's order to surrender, I am afraid that he would have been cut down in the chaos.

The army of the Nottings was completely wiped out in the field, and although there were still 2,000 defenders in that small city, at this time, there was no way to return to the sky.

Tegel was captured, and the defenders of the city faced the northern army that was forcing the city, and soon opened the city gates and surrendered without hesitation.

Reinhardt then ordered the whole army not to be repaired, leaving only some men to guard the prisoners of war, and then he took the army and marched west towards the capital city of the Nottings.

Char, on the other hand, did not go out with the army.

This was his agreement with Reinhardt.

The battle to quell Nording must be completed by the Independent Cavalry Regiment alone! This is a necessary baptism to recast the soul of this army!

Even if there will be losses, even if you know that Char will make the battle easier if Char joins the battle, but ...... it...... Reinhardt's reasoning was even more acceptable to Char.

Sometimes the baptism of blood is indispensable.

Reinhardt turned out to be a ruthless man, too! He was even more ruthless than that Tegel. Moreover, his sentence has also been fully proven: Fighting a war is not just by being ruthless enough.

He Reinhardt, do more!

The independent cavalry regiment rushed to the capital of Notting, and the army overwhelmed the city, and the defenders of the capital city of Notting were all reinforcements sent by Salvador of the Rhodria Military Region, and the defenders of the Northern Army who faced the siege immediately understood one thing: the army of the Notin was obviously finished.

Reinhardt did smarter than Tegel.

He brought dozens of Notting prisoners of war with his army, including the Tegel, and he first released dozens of Notting prisoners of war and let them escape back to the capital city by themselves, sending back the news that the Notting Army had been wiped out.

Immediately after the prisoners of war had entered the city, he slowly approached with the cavalry and set up an array outside the city.

In the end, he sent someone to push the tygel to the front.

The defenders of the city, if they were still in doubt before, then when they saw Tegel who was tied in front of the battle, they finally confirmed the news of the destruction of the Nording army!

What's even funnier is that in order to make the city more realistic, Reinhardt also did a very interesting thing, he had the blood-stained Tegel washed clean with cold water beforehand.

And his method of dealing with the defenders, many years later, was cited as a war example by the Imperial ** Academy, but it was evaluated by mixed reviews.

Some people say he is decisive, some say he is smart and cunning, and many more say that he is ruined......

Reinhardt had this to say to the people around him at the time:

"This is the capital of the Notins, but the defenders of the city are not Notins, but reinforcements from El Salvador, and they are guests. The identity of the guest army is destined that they will not defend the city of the Nottings! this is not their homeland, not their city, and they will not fight to the death to protect other people's cities. ”

There is no doubt that Reinhardt's judgment has once again been confirmed!

The defenders of the city unceremoniously made such a move: ordered to recruit young and strong civilians in the city to go to the city to cooperate in defending the city.

Anyway, this is not their home, and the residents of the city will not care if they live or die, no matter how many people die, they are just cannon fodder, they will not feel distressed, and they can also reduce their own damage.

Under the persecution of swords, a large number of young and strong people and civilians in the city were forced to go to the city to serve as cannon fodder.

Then Reinhardt made a second move.

He sent hundreds of men out to shout at the city!

This general, who was later evaluated as cruel by later generations, made this declaration to the city:

Anyone who helps the defenders to defend the city will have their families killed, and this threat is very effective! Because don't forget, the Northern Army has 2,000 Notting prisoners of war in their hands! And these Notting prisoners of war, their families are all in Notting City!!

On the contrary, if they rebelled, their entire family would be exonerated and the captured prisoners of war would be released!

The announcement of such a threat was issued, and it quickly had a great effect!

Those strong men who had been driven up the city wall to assist in defending the city soon became unstable, and even rioted and mutinied! Many people laid down their weapons, crying and refusing to fight, and some even took up arms to confront the army defending the city.

Faced with this situation, the defenders reacted: force to suppress!

It's not your own city anyway, and these people aren't your own people anyway. They dare to kill them!

This move, however, was exactly what Reinhardt wanted.

In this way, the northern army under the city has not sent a single soldier to attack the city, and the city has already killed itself first. Those who were unstable, refused to fight, and even tried to take up arms to confront the defenders, were almost all killed on the spot! There was a shouting and crying in the city and in the city!

Kill one, there will be a second kill ten, and there will be a hundred!

The families of the 8,000 troops of the Notting Army are all in the city, and the total population in this city is only tens of thousands. It can be said that military families account for more than seventy percent!

Once the defenders let the killings start, they did have some effect, but soon, they found that the scene was out of control.

Killed those who were disobedient and dared to resist, and the rest of the people, although they remained silent, but that kind of look, that kind of hatred, disgust and even resentful eyes, made the defenders shudder!

Outside the city was the army of the Northern Army pressing the city, but there were tens of thousands of hateful eyes in the city...... and the city could not be defended.

God knows if these civilians, who are still honest in the face of their butcher's knives, will suddenly make trouble behind them when the siege war starts? Will they suddenly pounce and bite themselves?

Tegel threatened the soldiers with the lives of their families and now, Reinhardt threatened the families in the city with the lives of prisoners of war, and obviously, Reinhardt did it more desperately, more cruelly, and more cunningly!

After making a judgment, the defenders quickly made a decision, and there was no point in defending the city.

The defenders abandoned the city.

I have to say that the army of the Rodria Military Region is indeed much more elite than the army of other warlord military districts.

More than 10,000 troops went out of the city, and when they retreated, the team was extremely tightly guarded, and the speed of the march was not hurried or slow, and even the team left behind was also elite and daring to fight.

They were allowed to leave the city, but Reinhardt did not make an immediate gesture of pursuit, but let them go far away......

It was far enough away that they were already far enough away from the city to escape back into the city, and Reinhardt finally smiled.

He knew that the victory of this war was firmly in his hands.

He pointed to the army that was far away, and then told the soldiers around him that he had only said two words.

The first sentence is: Catch up and kill them until they are completely destroyed!

And the second sentence is the key!

"They are El Salvador's subordinates, from the Rhodria Military Region, these guys also claim to be the Rhodria Army, but today I want you to use the sword in your hand to tell the world that there is only one army in this world that is qualified to use the name of Rhoderia, and that is us!!"

The whole army of the Independent Cavalry Regiment pursued, and the field raid on the Rhodelia Army!

Although the Rhodrian army is indeed a strong army, although they are indeed elite, although they are extremely lawful and strict when they withdraw their troops, the broken troops also dare to fight with their lives......

However, all this only confirms once again a sentence that cannot be subverted in the Byzantine Empire: with the complete and high morale of the Rhodrian cavalry army, there is no army in the world, at least in Byzantium, that can compete with them!

The cavalry regiment immediately attacked the main army, charged six times, temporarily retreated, breathed, lined up, and attacked again...... "After six battles, the enemy's main team was scattered, and the defeated army was scattered for a hundred miles!

And in this war in the Notting Military Region, of the 10,000 reinforcements sent by El Salvador, less than a thousand escaped alive!

Reinhardt became famous in the first battle, and this name immediately spread all over the continent!

With less than 4,000 cavalry, he first destroyed the enemy's army of 8,000, and then the capital of Knodin and annihilated the army of 10,000 of Salvador! What is even more amazing is that he did not even fight a siege battle in the two fortified cities of Lianke!!

This general used his cunning, cruelty, and ruthlessness to the fullest!

And after this battle, the entire continent will know that the group of the Northern Army, after Char Thundering and Green, is another excellent general, famous in the continent, and has officially entered the list of famous generals!

Later generations also had to admit that among the two famous generals under the command of King Char in the Northern Army, Green was good at defending and Reinhardt was good at attacking! Reinhardt was also evaluated by later generations as having a lion-like heart, and later generations were called "Lionheart Butchers".
