Chapter 172: The Western Expedition (2)

The division of soldiers into two ways should have been well planned, but in this place, except for Gal who also knows some cavalry tactics, the others, Jesse really can't believe it, although he can equip his men with sharp swords, but it seems impossible for them to become outstanding military strategists in no time.

The attack power of the cavalry, this is beyond doubt, not to mention how sharp the spears in the hands of the cavalry are, just hundreds of furious war horses, which in itself is a deterrent, yes, a deterrent!

Marshal Alfred once described the cavalry as follows: In the vast Kustanya and Odorian plains, the cavalry will be an invincible weapon of war!

Under the poet's praise, the valiant cavalry has become a symbol of victory: the sword of steel that swept across the field like a storm, with the gift of God, shining with the light of victory!

Yes, the wind is like a storm, and the perfect coordination between soldiers and war horses makes the speed and combat power to the extreme, but this is just to say that the speed of the light cavalry, the speed of the heavy cavalry is not too fast, and it is not too much to ask for those war horses with more than 100 kilograms of weight on their bodies.

Looking at Jesse with a stern face, Gal looked at the military map on the side, stretched out his hand and picked it up, "My lord, it seems that the terrain of Andus is much more complicated than that of the Odoth Special Zone, you look here, this is a mountainous area at all, and it is estimated that the cavalry will be easily blocked there." ”

Jesse had already put on the light armor by this time, and while fastening the lock around his waist, he looked at where Gal was pointing, "Uh...... You mean there, the southern part of the county, yes, the last time we were there, the river next to Wiesna was the Tsaterian that flowed there. Kindness. Last time we didn't go further south. I just don't know what it's like south of Char County. ”

Jesse took a look at it, and he already had a picture of that day, with a series of low mountains surrounding the Tsaterian River, and villages in the distance, all of which were very quiet, and if there was no war, it would definitely be the perfect holiday paradise.

The city of Visna is a city in the northern part of the county of Zar, which is located in the western part of the province of Andus. Since it is the west, it will also be more or less influenced by Mount Onnas.

"South of Char County?" said Garr, glancing at Jesse, "I don't think it's going to be much better, but Mount Onas stretches all the way to the province of Droiana." ”

With that, Gal put the map back in its original position.

The problem is at hand, unfavorable terrain, and the lack of troops.

The terrain is fine, as long as you send enough scouts to avoid a dead end, the important thing is the troops. Eight thousand people is not a small number. But this is war, and although Jesse is very confident, with only a few thousand recruits in his hands, he doesn't think he can go toe-to-toe with the elite of Adonis!

At this time, Jesse had already packed up a qiē, and Garr continued: "My lord, can you only take one battalion, or leave the second battalion behind, I will take the third battalion to the lower reaches of the Chatria River, and if I see the Droiana army, I will not be able to eat them anyway." ”

In fact, what Gal said was correct, but Jesse didn't think so, "Withdraw?" Jesse raised his eyebrows, and then walked out of the tent: "Whoever asked you to withdraw, don't worry, I'm not too far away from you, the vanguard of the Droiana army has just eaten tens of thousands of people in a sixteenth corps, and they are estimated to have to digest it for a while."

Gal followed Jesse closely, "Digest for a while?"

"You don't have to worry about this, we can't touch the big guy, but I guess there will be some small fish, hehe...... Droiana!" said Jesse's eyes with a sharp light, "Garr, inform everyone, assemble and go, and besides, you take the second and third battalions to act independently. ”

Listening to Jesse's tone, as if he already knew everything about Yiqiē, Gar didn't say much, said "obey", and turned away!

In fact, Jesse didn't expect much worse, the elite army would not be impatient to find the next target, but Jesse and they were in the wrong direction, the elite army was not south of Andus, and it did not want to enter the county of Char.

The elite corps is just a popular name, in the eyes of those grand dukes, the troops that can fight are elite, and the army that eliminated the sixteenth corps, her name is the Claude corps.

Obviously, the name of Claude's corps is related to the name of the person, Claude, with the cultivation of the eighth level of the warrior, among all the subordinates of Adonis, he can also rank in the top ten, but this is not important, the important thing is his ability to lead troops, among all the general-level officers of the Droiana army, his ability to lead troops can be ranked in the top three!

With his strong self-cultivation, excellent ability to lead troops, and his age is not yet thirty years old, he can get such a young tiger general, Adonis is a treasure.

Claude's corps can be said to be a mixed corps, with a total of nearly 70,000 people, including more than 2,000 cavalry and 65,000 infantry, but those 2,000 cavalry are not under the direct command of Claude.

In fact, Adonis did not mean to limit Claude, even excluding those cavalry, Claude's men had more than 60,000 people, Claude, who was less than thirty years old, had tens of thousands of people, and Adonis was really not thin on him.

But Claude sometimes didn't think so, in his eyes, Gabriel, the flag bearer of the two thousand cavalry, was a nuisance!

Regardless of what Claude thinks of Gabriel, in fact, Claude is already on the verge of reaching the territory of the Imperial Territory with his First Banner Regiment.

As for the direction Jesse decided, there was waiting for them with the Third Banner Regiment of the Claude Legion, nearly 20,000 men, stationed on the north bank of the Tsateria, where there was a small town called Andorra, which, although there were many of them, could not be considered a city, because Andorra did not even have basic tall walls.

Twenty kilometers northwest of Andorra there was a city called Bergre, and no one knew why the clever General Claude had not taken Belgrie, but he himself had to go.

Jesse's place where they camped, the cavalry could reach the banks of the Chatria River in less than half a day, according to Jesse, Gal did not set off with the large army, and ran in the direction of south-east with the second and third battalions of cavalry!

And Jesse took his troops and horses and slowly advanced southward, saying that it was slow, but it was only compared to the cavalry, the speed of more than five kilometers per hour was not too slow, but in this way, it would take him at least a day and night to arrive. (To be continued......)
