Chapter 152 The Decisive Battle I
After thinking about it seriously, Gangde felt that the victory or defeat against the strong man of the Upper Faro Sacred Domain was between the two sides, and his beloved giant axe would drink the blood of the enemy, but the enemy's blade could also drink his own blood, so he couldn't continue. Although he likes to make big statements, he can't brag.
Richard smiled and said, "The only one who can turn over the Sanctuary is the splash now." Gangde, you're still almost. ”
Gangde scratched his head and said curtly, "I'm not ...... Anxious to prove something?"
Richard shook his head helplessly and said, "There is a gap in construction between you and her, this ...... How can I say that? I can't make up for it for the time being. The Mysteries Guide is, after all, my pinnacle achievement so far. But that's seven builds, and you don't have that many builds. In terms of carrying capacity, you are not in the same order of magnitude as her. ”
Gangde said stupidly: "Then forget it." Anyway, it's not good to bully a little girl who splashes, so let's fight with tiramisu next time!"
"Done!" the ogre smiled innocently, "When my second head grows, I'll fight you! Don't worry, it won't be long." ”
Gangde was silent for a moment before he scolded angrily: "You big/master/of!"
"Okay! Be serious! In the future, you will all have to master a plane independently, so now you have to learn more how to lead troops. As for why I let them go for the time being, it's because ......"
Richard pointed to the 3,000 strikers of the coalition forces in the distance and said, "This fish is too small!"
Over the next few days, Richard seemed to be frightened by the strong front of the coalition forces, and gradually retreated, not daring to engage the coalition forces head-on. However, the coalition forces did not achieve any brilliant results as a result. Because although there were many infantry in Richard's troops, the strong mobility made the coalition generals dumbfounded, and they tried their best to catch up with Richard's main force.
The only way to do this is to let the cavalry break away from the brigade and attack alone.
However, this proposal caused another heated quarrel at the top of the coalition forces. The deputy commander of the Kingdom Knights resolutely disagreed with the division of troops, citing countless examples of Richard's use of troops like gods, indicating that this was Richard's conspiracy, and he could completely throw the coalition army into obscurity, but he didn't, the purpose was to want the coalition to divide the troops.
The Grand Magister of Zaku coldly threw a stack of papers in front of the deputy commander and said, "Our cavalry is seven thousand! And Richard's current army has no more than six thousand men! Can you still defeat the six thousand infantry with the seven thousand cavalry of the Knights of the Kingdom as the main force? Even an idiot can see the huge superiority in strength. If you can't win it, are you having your brain eaten by pigs?"
The deputy head of the Kingdom Knights was also a seventeenth-level powerhouse, and after being insulted like this, a resolute face slowly swollen red and turned purple again. He suppressed his anger as much as he could, but his voice still trembled uncontrollably: "It's not a matter of the comparison of forces! It's a trap! Richard definitely wants us to divide our troops." ”
"Well, you come and tell me, where is Richard's trap?"
The deputy regiment commander said: "Richard has always wanted to separate our cavalry from the infantry, once we divide our troops, he will concentrate superior forces on a certain battlefield and encircle and annihilate our cavalry in one fell swoop!"
Zaku laughed exaggeratedly: "You really think of him as a god of war!
The deputy head of the regiment picked up the paper that Zaku had thrown over and glanced at it. The paper listed is Richard's current troop strength, which is very detailed, and only the four hundred humanoid knights newly created by the brood in the last four months have not been listed because they have not appeared in Bluewater Oasis City at all. After the military power, almost all of Richard's followers are listed, and the rank and occupation are indicated after the name. Of course, there are also the mage regiment and the priest regiment, since their individual ranks are not very impressive, so they only indicate the number of people at each level.
Just looking at this information, Richard really had nothing to fear.
The only thing worth seeing around him is Luofu. But the nobles of the Sequoia Kingdom are very familiar with this swordsman, and among the powerhouses of the Sanctuary Realm, his strength belongs to the third-rate goods. In addition, the ones who are a little troublesome are Viscount Sim and Countess Caterina, but the trouble for the two of them is only their identity, and they need to stay alive.
And the main force of Richard's army was nothing more than slaves just a few months ago. How much combat strength the slave army could have, everyone knew very well.
"See, my deputy commander of the Sanctuary? You have a full seven thousand cavalry, including two thousand kingdom knights, can't you still deal with more than five thousand original slaves? I really want to wonder how did you get the strength of your sanctuary? Could it be that the so-called kingdom knights can only be heroes on a woman's belly? Even slaves dare not fight?" Zaku's tone was extremely sharp.
The deputy leader's face was contorted, and he didn't even know how he managed to endure it without a single punch in Zaku's face. Little did he know that Zaku had great ambitions. The archmage was bent on shining in this war, so he changed his robes to a dark gold.
Zaku spent a lot of money to fight for the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and he didn't just come to go through the motions. Ryan had privately promised that if he won the battle and as soon as he sat on the throne of the president, he would promote Zaku to the position of vice president.
The deputy head of the regiment's hands were shaking, and he had nothing to say. Judging from the intelligence on paper, there is really no reason why the war cannot be won, but if the war can be won by relying on a few pieces of information and paper deduction, then even a sow can be a marshal. But the deputy commander also knew very well why he would participate in this war as a "private", in the face of such an obvious advantage in strength, even if he could ignore Zaku, he couldn't explain the reason why he didn't fight to the person behind him.
Zakula pulled out the map, pointed to one of the points, and said: "I have calculated in detail, as long as we concentrate all our cavalry, we can catch up with Richard's main force in this area! There are plains for more than ten kilometers around here, and even if Richard ambushes his army outside our reconnaissance range, it will take at least three hours from getting the news to rushing to the battlefield." Can't you wipe out five thousand slaves in three hours?"
The deputy commander could not say that he could not, but his instincts were shouting, it could never be so simple! If this was the case, Richard would not have been able to defeat Sarenwell with inferior forces. And who is Sarenwell? The deputy head of the regiment who has led troops like this knows that one Sarenwell can beat the Mage Association, and these mage masters can't find the north at all.
Zaku slammed the map hard and shouted: "That's it! Gather all the cavalry, pursue it with all your strength tomorrow, and kill Richard's main force on the sunset plain on the edge of the border! Even if he sets up an ambush here, it will take at least three hours or more from notifying the ambush to entering the battlefield, we will beat him with a time difference, destroy his main force first, and then turn around and eat his ambush! Break them all! Let Richard understand what the evil consequences of dividing the army are!"
The deputy head of the regiment looked at the cheers and echoes of the noble generals attending the meeting, and knew that he had no choice.
The next day, the coalition gathered all 7,000 cavalry and began to pursue Richard's troops with all their might. However, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the coalition forces realized that things were not as simple as they thought. The mobility of Richard's army was incredibly high, and at a distance of tens of kilometers, the allied cavalry pursued it for a whole day before it was close to the distance where the long-range charge could reach the contact battle.
But by this time it was already dark, and after a day's rapid march, neither the knight nor the horse had the body to charge. Although Zaku was eager to fight, he had to decide to rest, and only sent scout cavalry to track the movements of Richard's army.
What Zaku couldn't see was that in the night, several troops were moving around the periphery, and they were advancing to the predetermined position before setting up camp to rest. Richard's main force continued to retreat, and opened a distance of more than ten kilometers before starting to camp and rest.
If you look down from the sky, you can see that several of Richard's troops are like spears, and the spear pointed to the Sunset Plain. That was the battlefield Richard had prescribed.
The seventh day of the Midsummer Moon is destined to be an important day in the history of the Sequoia Kingdom.
In Sunset Plains, Richard's main force was finally overtaken by the coalition cavalry. At the last moment, Richard gave up on fleeing and formed a tight formation on the plain to meet the superior enemy.
Thousands of meters away, Zaku looked at Richard's military formation, couldn't help but gently lick his lips that were dry from excitement, and said to the deputy regiment commander: "Attack!
Although the deputy head hated Zaku, he had to do his best at the moment. With a wave of his hand, the thousand Kingdom knights in the cavalry formation slowly lined up, put on a charging formation, and began to slowly press towards Richard's line.
Richard safely rode on the unicorn, saw the movement on the other side, smiled and said, "Actually using the most elite Kingdom knights from the beginning, it seems that this battle will be easier than expected." ”
Thousands of kingdom knights began to charge when they approached to three hundred meters, these are elite knights above level seven, the cavalry spears in their hands are seven meters long and weigh hundreds of kilograms.
However, when they rushed to a hundred meters, the heavy infantry in front of Richard's camp suddenly dispersed, and hundreds of lightly armed soldiers rushed to the front, they were half-crouched on the ground, holding a strange-shaped weapon in their hands, and pointed at the rushing knights with the muzzles of bowl-sized guns.
Zaku's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed, "Dwarven muskets!
However, Zaku can be said to have seen a lot of information, and immediately reversed his gaffe, shook his head again, and said: "The dwarven musket is not very powerful, it is difficult to penetrate the plate armor of the knights of the kingdom, and it is useless at all. ”
The deputy commander didn't think so, and the moment he saw hundreds of dwarven muskets, his face immediately darkened. Suddenly rushed to the front of the formation, roaring desperately, so that the second wave of knights immediately set off to keep up with the charge.
Hundreds of muskets rang out almost at the same moment, and the smoke and flames passed, and only a few dozen of the thousand knights of the kingdom rolled off their horses. But the loud roar of the muskets frightened countless horses.
