As the First Regiment under my personal command, the 10 Guards Regiment has been reorganized, and its weapons and equipment and members are different from before.

All the soldiers of the ten Guards Regiment are equipped with horses, and their superb riding skills are only the basis of the basics, and these soldiers who have been fighting with me for a long time are familiar with all the combat skills of infantry and light cavalry, and can be said to be the most powerful unit in the entire Dark Province.

All warriors carried three weapons with them, spears, knives, bows, or repeating crossbows.

The original light cavalry, except for the necessary equipment such as bows and arrows or crossbows, could only choose between cavalry spears and swords.

The lack of more training in the troops was one reason, but the most important reason was the limited bearing capacity of the horses, and how much weight could a light cavalry mount carry under the demands of a long run?

A 15-centimeter-long triangular arrow that can cause a large amount of blood loss and death to an enemy in a very short period of time when it hits an enemy soldier, which looks very powerful.

However, the cost of this triangular arrow is five times that of ordinary feather arrows, and it has to occupy space for four ordinary feather arrows when transporting...... The best weapons are not necessarily practical, and it is not easy to recognize the mistakes in equipment, which need to be gradually explored in actual combat.

Drawing on the lessons learned from previous battles, Master Dwarves and I have further improved our weapons and armor to better suit the style of our army. Significant change of outfits, which is why I can't mobilize more troops for a while.

The armor equipped by the Guards Regiment has been changed from the original all-hard armor to semi-hard armor. The important part is still hard armor, but in many places it has been changed to three layers of fine armor with iron bars. The weight is one-third lighter than the original armor. Joints are more flexible.

The entire armor has strict manufacturing standards. It is required to be able to completely defend against the feather arrows of the Demon Alliance shot at a distance of 100 arms, and most of the parts can completely resist the 30-pound battle axe for two consecutive slashes.

The cavalry gun has also been improved, with a horizontal iron under the gun head, so that the gun head will no longer be stabbed too deep into the enemy's body to be recovered, and the metal gun body will be replaced by a very tough wood, which will also reduce the weight.

The cavalry sword is no longer exactly the same as my black iron sword, but has been modified according to the characteristics of the cavalry, and the straight ridge shape has been completely abandoned. The blade is lengthened, the bend is increased, and the center of gravity is further moved closer to the handle.

The improvement of the feather arrow is in the arrow, which has ceased to be a large three-edged arrow, and has become a smaller, lighter, sharper small three-edged arrow. At the same weight, each soldier could carry twice as many feathered arrows.

Each guard was also equipped with three wagons, which contained tents for the whole team, emergency provisions, reserve weapons, and two hundred feathered arrows per person.

In addition, each regiment and battalion has its own wagon wagwagon.

With this series of improvements, this unit can fight alone for ten to fifteen days without logistical support.

※※※ "The weather is good, and the air is good. "I took my helmet off. He hung it on his saddle: "The big ball in the Dark City must be ready, right? ”

"Yes, young master. Amaterasu, who was beside me, nodded, "We sent a total of thirty-one daisies to the garden." ”

Amaterasu came to report to me about Operation Secret Garden. Because he was now a man who could not see the light, he covered himself tightly with a black robe, and his face was still covered with a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes.

I turned to Amaterasu and asked, "Are there any daisies wilting on the road?"

"No, the daisies are fine, but they hurt some of the flower watchers when they picked them. ”

"Then it doesn't matter. I glanced at the red clouds in the sky: "Zheng zhì has always been like this, as long as this deal can be completed, the blood stained will only add to its beauty." ”

"Report sir. A sweaty herald grabbed the horse's head beside me: "Your letterhead, from the Dark City." ”

I took the letterhead, and after a while, I couldn't help but laugh, the staff officers and guards around me had long been surprised, and Amaterasu was the only one looking at me with confused eyes.

"Your action this time is perfect!" I almost laughed, I stuffed the letterhead into my breastplate and rode the war horse slowly, "The goods have been received from the Dark City, and they are very satisfied. ”

"For me, it's good to be able to complete what the young master has explained. Amaterasu nodded, "Nothing else matters." ”

"I'm not going to let you do more than you can do. I casually asked, "Are those who are cooperating with you okay?"

As soon as I talked about the reconnaissance battalion that cooperated with my actions, Amaterasu immediately replied excitedly: "Yes, young master, their appearance is very good! ”

"Really?" I touched my chin: "If I put them under your name, something like the Maple Leaf City Magic Array that can't be awakened in time will happen frequently!"

"Yes!" Amaterasu was very excited: "Young Master, can you give them to me......?"

"Don't be inexplicably excited about doing a little thing. ”

"Oh......"

"It's okay to match them to you, though, they already know who you are. I thought for a while: "That's it, a reconnaissance battalion is for you, you have to do a good job for me!"

"Yes, young master, I will definitely do a good job!"

"Wait. I grabbed Amaterasu's wrist, pointed to the little tassel that was exposed, and asked, "Why are you wearing a shirt with tassel lace?"

"Ah...... That, young master. A hint of panic flashed through Amaterasu's eyes, and then it was replaced by a smug look: "I...... Young master, this is my personal hobby, this shirt is quite comfortable to wear, I found it when I was negotiating with people last year, and now the bosses of the Demon Alliance wear this...... I want to meet them often, and I will get used to it, young master, I will also sacrifice my life for the country......"

"Hmm. I nodded, casually perfunctory: "It looks pretty good." ”

"Ahh Bringing the sleeves of the shirt embroidered with a delicate pattern to me: "The fabric is superior." Soft and snug against sweat. I heard that they used to use this material to make underwear for princesses. The embroidery work is also quite good! The pattern is flowing out of the palace of a certain country, and ordinary people can never buy it, and some gangs even buy it in large quantities. Young master, you have to like me, next time I will help you make a batch of ......"

"you!" I slapped him in the head, and if I put on this shirt, I wouldn't want to look up at the Doge's Palace: "You think I'm going to wear something like this?"

"Oh......" Amaterasu closed her gushing mouth, her eyes full of grievances.

"Forget it, you can just wear it!" I thought that it was not easy to develop the underworld, and Amaterasu's days were also tense: "It's not a big deal. But remember to keep your identity hidden. ”

"Yes, young master. ”

"Go ahead!" I waved my hand.

Amaterasu and his horse's heads rushed out diagonally, meeting up with several similarly dressed guards in the distance. A few horses quickly departed, gradually disappearing from my field of vision.

A young man like Amaterasu, whose status is rising rapidly, is not under a lot of psychological pressure! Some small preferences can be forgiven, but I hope his weird habits are limited to clothing.

"Report to the sir!" the staff officer ran over with a happy face: "Sir, the information sent back earlier has been confirmed. ”

"Really?" I turned over and dismounted, and took the text he handed me: "What about the battle plan?"

"The plan has been made, the troops are rested, and now we are waiting for your orders, sir. ”

I finished flipping through the text in my hand. He then handed it back to the staff officer, stroking his mount with one hand, which was drinking water.

"Wait a minute. Let the soldiers breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the warriors resting on the bank of the river, I said lightly: "It's a rare time, let them drink more water and tell a few more jokes." ”

"Sir......

"See that hillside?" I got on my horse, "and when I go up, you'll give the order to assemble." ”

"Yes!" the staff officer understood what I meant.

By the time the order to assemble sounded on both sides of the river, several of the commanders of the Guards had already discussed the battle plan around me.

"Do you understand?" I said, pointing to the map, "The plan of the General Staff is not too demanding, it is still a quick word." ”

"Got it!"

"This is not Du Feng Province, we may encounter a small group of enemy troops on the way, but this plan has been formulated a long time ago, and it is impossible for other troops to get our situation in time. I cleared my throat and looked at the regimental commanders: "Any delay may lead to the collapse of the entire operation, and half a step slow will kill people, so my request is - no matter who I meet, I will be beaten in the shortest possible time, and those bastards must be leveled in the shortest time!"

A couple of Guards Commanders weren't with me on the first day, of course they understood what I meant.

"Okay, action!"

There was a neighing of horses, and the three guards set out first, and the horses that crossed the river stirred up the waves, and in a short time they formed a formation on the plains of Lisan Province.

I silently recited every step of the action, then slowly put on my helmet and rushed down the hillside with the two guards regiments directly under me, following the troops in front.

Lisan Province...... Since I am here, young master, you are destined to surrender to me!

※※※Lisan Province, located near the Dark Moon Province, the capital of the province is Lisan City. Among all the eighteen provinces of the Sibian Empire, it ranks ninth in area, and most of the provinces are plains and grasslands, so animal husbandry is developed, and it was once a concentrated breeding ground for imperial war horses.

As for the two enemy armies that invaded the province of Dark Moon, they both marched towards Dark Moon through Guò Lisan City, and the logistics line also led to Guò here. Confirmed intelligence indicates that the two enemy forces are no more than two hundred miles apart, and have advanced not far from the border of Darkmoon. When we go around from behind, it's also when they prepare to cross the border.

Fighting here, I will also lose logistical support for the time being.

The troops' rations were fine, and they were all on their backs for ten days, and there was a large grassland under their feet, and there was no need to worry about the fodder for the horses.

What worries me is the consumption of weapons and supplies, especially bows and arrows, which are almost innumerable, and for a skilled soldier with a single blow, twenty-five quivers can be empty.

It's okay to encounter enemy patrols and the like, but if I encounter a large force of more than 10,000 people and can't destroy them immediately, I will definitely have a headache...... However, it's just a matter of taking a back road, and your luck won't be so bad, right?

20,000 cavalry followed the direction of the river. At the fastest speed, it went straight into the boundary of Lisang Province for about two hundred miles. On the way, more than 20 small towns were burned. Then the direction turned to the enemy's supply line, approaching the enemy force of 120,000 men.

By the morning of the third day, my troops had captured the supplies behind the enemy as planned.

The information that arrived later revealed that the Governor of Lisan Province, who had already informed the Empire that he was following the rebellion, was shrinking his forces in an attempt to defend Lisan City under the influence of rumors.

On the night of the third day of entering the province of Lissan, our scouts had already caught up with the enemy. But there is no news of other troops, so they can only hide from afar.

As a result, the next morning, it began to rain lightly.

"Your mother's ......" I walked into the woods where I was hiding, wiped the rain from my face, and began to greet the ghost weather very unpleasantly.

"Sir. The staff officer asked worriedly, "Nothing will wrong with them, right?"

"No, we may have come too soon. I replied softly, "Order the troops, be ready to go at any time." ”

Not long after the order was issued, the liaison officer of the Darkmoon Province arrived, and only then did he tell us that "General Martin, who is stationed in Darkmoon, has arrived at the border with his troops, and will engage the enemy at noon today" and fell to the ground. Dizzy.

"Send him down to rest. I gave up on the idea of beating him up and turned to look at the map.

"Sir. If there is a battle at noon......" The staff officer pointed to the map and said, "It should be here, the plain terrain, almost eighty miles from here." ”

I asked, "Is there any movement from the other enemy army?"

"There has been no change, Captain Helt has been holding them back. ”

"There was a battle at noon, and we should have been in time. I thought about it: "It's up to this battle, notify the troops, and set off immediately!"

"Yes!"

Along the way, the scouts in front kept sending back information, and the Demon Coalition already had some experience dealing with scouts, but Lu Man's lackeys! I don't think they knew how powerful my scouts were—my connection with Grandpa Martin had already been established.

Because the defensive surface of the dark moon is very large, Grandpa Martin only brought 60,000 troops with him for this sortie, and the enemy generals seemed to be very confident, and the 120,000 troops were lined up neatly early in the morning, and slowly crossed the border in battle formation.

The eight Guards were divided into two lines, three miles apart from each other, and in the morning I finally arrived near the battlefield that Martin had set out at the beginning of the battle.

A few miles away, I heard shouts of slaughter on the battlefield, and the battle had just begun.

"Sir, are we going to go into the camp behind the enemy first?"

"Leave their camp alone. I said to the staff officer, "Shrink into a commando formation, and dismount!"

After a morning's fatigue, the horses needed a rest, and the soldiers all dismounted and walked slowly towards the battlefield.

"Report to the chief, the command has been chosen. The staff officer pointed ahead and said, "It's on a small hill three miles from the battlefield." ”

"Got it. ”

"Report to the commander, the enemy has spotted our troops, and 10,000 cavalry have broken away from their rear and are turning around, apparently moving in the direction of our troops. ”

"The front three guards regiments went to intercept. I got on my horse and gave a loud order: "Destroy them in the shortest possible time, and the regimental commander will dispose of them himself." ”

"Yes!"

"All get on the horse, and the staff follows. I waved my whip: "Go to the command!"

My horse came to rest on the hill, the banner of the Dark Province was raised behind me, and the whole battlefield was unfolded before my eyes.

I have never witnessed a "regular war" on such a scale.

The two armies were separated by about two miles, and the troops of the Dark Moon Province were on the defensive, with battalions as units, and tens of thousands of troops were arranged in a dense and orderly manner; while the attacking enemy troops were divided into three lines: the front team, the main team, and the rear team, and the troops in front were attacking in regimental units, and there were a large number of enemy corpses in the open space between the two armies, which seemed to have died under the bow and arrow.

My troops were three miles behind the enemy's flank, and the 10,000 cavalry who had broken away from the enemy's rear had just finished forming their formation and facing the three guards regiments that were rushing towards them!

"Be prepared. I pointed my horsewhip at the enemy's own unit and said to the staff officer: "We will storm from here in a moment." ”

"Yes. ”

As soon as the staff officer's words were finished, the battle between the Guards Regiment and the enemy cavalry began.

The enemy cavalry was originally closely aligned, and from a distance it looked like a flower cloth stretching out towards you.

When they were more than a mile apart, the three guards regiments marching together began to attack with bows and arrows at the same time, and the feathered arrows screamed one after another, falling into the enemy ranks like a torrential rain, and the enemy fell off their horses one by one in the screams, and this "flower cloth" immediately turned into rags full of "holes", and the horses without their masters ran around......

After a few volleys, the three guards regiments separated, and two of them suddenly accelerated past the left and right of the enemy's shock formation, constantly attacking the enemy with bows and arrows along the way, while the regiment that remained in front of the enemy army narrowed the impact surface as much as possible and inserted itself into the enemy formation in a knife-point formation!

The soldiers rode their spears flat, trying their best to keep their bodies down, and in front of their horses were lined up with shiny black rifle heads.

I know that all my soldiers' eyes are fixed on the right chest of the enemy, because the enemy army is also cavalry with spears, but I have already done it a hundred times with the armor of the Divine Alliance, and to my soldiers, the enemy is as if it were naked, this is a confrontation between steel and flesh.

The speed of the impact is quite fast, and the sharp spear head can effortlessly break through the thin armor and penetrate the enemy's body. Under the head of the gun, the equally sharp transverse wing instantly expands the wound, tearing the enemy's right chest, and by the way, cutting off the entire right arm!

Like a black torrent, like a roaring hurricane, with a fierce murderous aura, the Guards Regiment rushed in and cut the enemy army in half!

Patches of enemy cavalry were knocked into the air, like waves crashing into rocks.

Terrible screams rang out, red blood splattered, and humble lives died......

It was the only cavalry of the enemy, and at the first touch it was dashed by one of my guardsmen's regiments, and I withdrew my gaze - this unit was not worth any further attention.

On the frontal battlefield, Grandpa Martin's first-line troops withstood the enemy's attack, and the second-line troops were leaning forward, looking like they were about to launch a counterattack, while the enemy's rear team had turned around and faced me.

Amid the sound of horses' hooves, the two guards regiments of the front army had already returned to their ranks, and the enemy cavalry had finished playing.

"What a big dough pie...... Let's cut it into two pieces first. I took off my helmet and said to the staff officer, "Magic attack." ”

Without warning, a large black cloud appeared over the enemy's head, followed by hundreds of lightning bolts at the same time, and the intertwined silver light rushed happily in the enemy camp.

"Attention of the whole army!" Countless swords were raised: "Assault!"

"For His Majesty - Kill!"

The outcome of this battle has long been doomed. (To be continued......)
