Chapter 34: Rogue's Play

Sect Leader Pi has cooperated with Captain Cao for so long, and of course it is not the first time that he has acted as a bait to lure the enemy. In fact, there are generally such tasks, and the head of the leather sect is always the first person to be the first choice. But this time is different from the past, in the past, even if Commander Cao handed over this kind of task to the head of the sect, he would repeatedly warn the head of the sect, no matter what method he used, the principle was indispensable.

And this time, Head Cao made it clear that it was okay to pay the price when necessary, and they must be lured over. The reason given by Regiment Commander Cao is also very simple, since it is the regular army of the Rex Empire, it is obviously not like these bandit gangs with no military literacy in the Exiled Domain. To be able to make Captain Cao, who values his own life more than anything else, make such a decision, and the head of the Pi sect feels incredible. This also made Sect Leader Pi understand that Captain Cao must make some big moves this time, at least not only to defeat the team of the Rex Empire, but to slaughter them all!

If there are extra words, the head of the Pi sect didn't ask, and if there were any, there was no need to open his mouth at all. After the head of the regiment Cao had given over the task of luring the enemy, he only told the head of the Pi Jiaotou to assemble on the westernmost plateau of the Moissanite Hills. Sect Leader Pi also didn't understand the purpose of Captain Cao's arrangement, and when he came, Captain Cao and Sect Leader Pi had also inspected the Moisan hilly area. Needless to say, the terrain of the entire hilly area is complex, and ambushes and sparrow warfare in this kind of terrain are definitely the forte of the raiding group. Even Commander Cao himself said that if there was a chance in the future, he could drag the enemy to this hill to clean up. The only exception to this hilly terrain is the westernmost highlands. If you want to use this terrain to develop tactics, then that high ground is crucial. There is only one such high ground in the whole hilly area, and once it is occupied, it occupies a huge advantage in the field of view, and the whole hilly area is unobstructed.

Of course, it was not wrong for Regiment Commander Cao to want to garrison troops on that high ground, but it was not without problems. The raiders were to the west, the heights were in the westernmost part of the Moissandians, and the Rex Empire's army was passing from the east. According to Captain Cao's previous style, he would never have put his foundation on that high ground at the beginning. Because the Moissanite Hills are a natural strategic depth, if you only rely on the high ground, wouldn't you abandon this entire strategic depth? Even if the army of the Rex Empire occupied the high ground in one step, it was still a lonely high ground, and there was almost no strategic significance to speak of.

Sect Leader Pi didn't say anything in the end, he believed that the head of the Cao regiment he knew must also know that since the head of the Cao regiment had made such a decision, then all he should do was to comply. The strength of the raiding regiment is not only in the strength of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but also in the trust between the insiders, which is the foundation of the strength of the raiding regiment. I don't know how many times I have questioned Sect Leader Cao before, and in the end, every time Sect Leader Cao finally makes Sect Leader Pi understand that he is right.

The head of the leather sect is used to luring the enemy, and this time he is also familiar with it. It's just that as Captain Cao guessed, the people of the Rex Empire this time were much more cautious than any opponent they had encountered before. The head of the leather sect tried several times in a row, but the other party did not move. may have decided that the head of the leather sect couldn't make any waves at this point, so he didn't take care of the head of the leather sect at all. The head of the leather sect is also cunning, and seeing that the other party does not treat him as bait, his decision is to launch harassment tactics. In just half a day, the head of the leather sect harassed Fisher more than ten times in a row. Every time, he pretended to rush forward as if he was desperate, but once the two armies intersected, as long as there were some casualties, the head of the Pi Jiao immediately led the men and horses away. This harassment tactic caused the Hidekyo Leader to sell dozens of hyena warriors, and the casualties were unprecedented since the Skinkeeper took charge of the Alliance Guard. But in the same way, he finally angered Fisher. Although this team of only 300 people could not threaten Fisher at all, this endless harassment also made Fisher angry. In half a day, the head of the leather sect sacrificed dozens of hyena warriors, but Fisher's side sacrificed more than 400 elite infantry.

Through the comparison of this data, Fisher felt a sense of horror. Where is this troop of bandits and bandits, described by countless people as a rabble as rumored? Fisher has fought for so many years, and he has really never seen an existence that can match the combat power of individual soldiers. Fisher had observed this team led by a strange human, the two hundred hyena warriors were not bad, and the equipment was even worse than the team brought by Fisher, all of them were copper equipment, and the first-line team of the Rex Empire had been eliminated a hundred years ago. What really caused trouble for Fisher's team was the hundred-man Timberwolf Cavalry, a bunch of freaks who came and went like the wind and had superior mobility.

Between the two sides, they were as bright as the sun. Not only did not lose a single one, but more than seventy percent of the casualties in Fisher's team were caused by them. Sending infantry to deal with them, they immediately formed a formation in an instant, and then charged and killed, and after tearing up Fisher's formation, the hyena warriors behind followed with a fierce attack. Under the organization of these timberwolf cavalry, those hyena warriors also advanced and retreated in a measured manner, never showing any obvious flaws, and killing Fisher's elite infantry to the ground. Whenever Fisher was furious and mobilized the hoplites to surround them, the guys had a very sharp nose, and before the hoplites were in battle, they would immediately organize everyone and kill them unhurriedly. No matter how Fisher arranged and intercepted, he couldn't stop their actions at all. Even in the heat of battle, they will never go deep, they will not let themselves be encircled, and there is always a way out.

When did the Beamon orcs become so bright, and those timberwolf cavalry could be said to have left an indelible impression on Fisher. As far as Fisher's observation is concerned, they are definitely the top strong soldiers in this Pan-American continent, Fisher has never seen anyone on the other side commanding them from beginning to end, all their on-the-spot reactions are spontaneous, and that kind of intuition, if it is not experienced in a hundred battles, it is absolutely impossible to cultivate. If Fisher were to look at them objectively and fairly, Fisher would just be glad that such an opponent only had a hundred people, and Fisher still had a huge advantage in troops. In the same number, Fisher even felt that only the top Purple and Gold Legion of the Rex Empire or the top Green Armor Heroes of the Celtic Empire were qualified to fight against them, and other than the two, there was really no existence in the human world that could compete with them. Even if the two top legions of the human world came out, Fisher felt that he would not dare to say that he would win.

Fighting a war is never a fair contest, and Fisher knows that. The equipment of these timberwolf cavalry is certainly very good, beyond Fisher's imagination, but they can only belong to the category of light cavalry, which is inseparable from the characteristics of the timberwolf cavalry that rely on mobility. Fortunately, before this expedition, Kupchek generously allocated 5,000 heavy cavalry to Fisher. These 5,000 heavy cavalry, in terms of troops, restrained the light cavalry. Heavy cavalry has always been the pride of the human world, and the human heavy cavalry is almost no natural enemy on the battlefield. The only downside is that their construction and cost are too high. There are not many good seedlings who can be qualified for this type of troops, whether it is a person or a war horse, they have to go through extremely strict screening, not to mention, even their equipment is burned out with money, and you get what you pay for. The Rex Empire is rich, and it can withstand this kind of toss, so the Rex Empire's heavy cavalry establishment has always been the largest in the Pan-American continent.

Fisher also regarded the 5,000 heavy cavalry as his biggest trump card, and before he set off, Fisher had already made up his mind. If it wasn't for the necessity, Fisher would never use this force lightly. Everyone knows that the only significance of hoplites on the battlefield is that they exist as a final word. But what Fisher didn't expect was that the other party would come with such a force of about 300 people, which made him puzzled, and he had to rely on heavy cavalry to go out.

But what's even worse is that these guys are like loaches that don't keep their hands and don't give Fisher a chance at all. As soon as they found these hoplites in battle, they immediately left, without even looking at them. Fisher has fought for so many years, and he has never met such a shameless opponent, these guys are clearly only allowed to fight others, and no one else is allowed to fight back. It was hard to scare these guys away, and in a blink of an eye they didn't know when they came out again, and then there was a flurry of nonsense, repeating the same script as before, which made Fisher miserable.

Didn't they all have to eat or rest? They hadn't stopped for most of the day, and what about Fisher? The hoplites had been in battle several times, and not a single one had actually moved. For this reason, the commander of the Heavy Knights, Robert Horry, had already come to trouble Fisher himself, and scolded Fisher to the death, claiming that Fisher was simply entertaining his Heavy Knights, who were being played around by a group of hillbillies. Fisher didn't even dare to talk back, the reason why he was reluctant to use these heavy knights easily was in this place, these heavy knights were all golden bumps of the empire, saying that they came here to obey Fisher's leadership, but where could they think of Fisher, who was born as a commoner? They are also out-and-out uncles, Fisher is nominally the supreme commander, and he has to be respectful to Horry, who makes others the old-school nobles of the empire? Who makes others the leader of this heavy cavalry?

Fisher also understands Horry's unhappiness, and if it were him, he would be unhappy too. The equipment of these heavy cavalrymen is hundreds of pounds of steel lumps, and it is impossible for them to be neatly clothed and on standby all the time. Half a day is enough for these heavily armored knights to wear so many times, and it is understandable that they have resentment. For this reason, Fisher had to invite Horry to watch the battle and discuss how to deal with these bastards. After taking a look at the fighting style of this group of enemies, Horry also had to admit that this gang of scoundrels was indeed insidious and cunning. Hori also specially made the hoplite cavalry neatly draped in order to be the first to enter the battlefield. But to Horry's surprise, even if they were well prepared, there was nothing they could do with these hillbillies.

The mobility of the Timberwolf Cavalry is higher than that of Horry's hoplites, so Horry didn't really want to target them, Horry's goal is very clear, that is, to get rid of those hyena warriors who are fishing in troubled waters, as long as there are no hyena people to stir up together, just those Timberwolf Cavalry can't make any waves. This goal does not seem difficult to achieve. But it's strange that in this place, in addition to the timberwolf cavalry, these hyena warriors are also as agile as thieves, and when danger comes, these guys run no slower than Horry's hoplite knights! The hyena people are also notoriously strong in endurance, and when they see Horry killing, these guys scream and run away, like innocent little girls who have been insulted. As soon as Horry closes up, these guys will immediately come over and be coquettish again!

After more than an hour of wrangling with them, Horry finally couldn't stand it anymore. Not only did they not kill a single enemy, but the horses of the heavily armed knights were almost exhausted, and the enemies were still fierce one by one, and Horry really wondered if they had been poured a few gallons of aphrodisiacs before they set off!

With a big-picture view, tactical positioning, a sense of battle, a wide field of vision, and the ability to capture fighters, these hillbillies in the Exiled Realm have not missed a chance to show their strength. Fisher and Horry's team was in front of them like a group of disabled people being teased by an Olympic champion.

Ignore their harassment, and they will become even more violent. You take them seriously, but they dodge it. Fisher and Horry felt like they were punching the cotton, and they couldn't use their strength. If it continues like this, it won't be long before the two of them are still calm, and the brothers below will definitely complain. This is just the beginning, and if the morale is wiped out by these hillbillies, then the rest of the battle will not be fought.

The only way is to hunt them down until they don't dare to be so arrogant! Fisher and Horry immediately split their team into several detachments and began to take turns in pursuit. The huge advantage in strength allowed them to cope with this trouble, alternately chasing and killing, and also ensuring that their own soldiers were not overworked. (To be continued.) )
