Something did go wrong with the Principality of the Red Lion, and it was a big one.

When the more than 110,000 cavalry who rescued came to the small city where the Red Lion Grand Duke Van Bock was located, the troops of the demon clan were also very nervous, and immediately gathered the nearby troops, reaching more than 70,000 people in a short time. But at this time, the command of the Red Lion Principality went wrong.

What was the purpose of this force? Was it simply to relieve the siege of the town, or was it just to rescue Van Bock? At this time, Van Bock in the city was quite remorseful, just for the sake of Bafra, the Red Lion Principality lost its most precious days. Too many troops and civilians have been sacrificed. So he strictly ordered - to hold the small city as much as possible and repel the demons outside the city.

This order, of course, is somewhat pretentious. Because the strategic position of this small city is not very important, it should be abandoned and concentrate on holding the Lion's Tooth City. But in this way, it led to the chaos of reinforcements outside the city. Some of the generals insisted on obeying Van Bock's orders, while others still wanted to follow the original plan and ignore Van Bock's orders. In the end of the discussion, there was a compromise - try to attack, try the quality of the demons, and decide the next plan with the results of the battle.

And so the battle began. At the beginning of the battle, the two sides were still more cautious, and they made moves against each other. But then it was discovered that something was wrong, the casualty ratio of the two sides was too large, and the Red Lion Principality suffered a little loss.

In fact, in terms of individual combat power, the demon soldiers who survive the fittest must be much higher. And such a temptation must be the advantage of the demons. But don't forget that the Red Lion Principality is sending all cavalry this time. And the power of cavalry on the battlefield is not in the individual. Rather, it is embodied in the charge of large groups. If you can form a large torrent, it is completely unstoppable. If at this time. The Red Lion Principality can make up its mind and simply start the decisive battle without hesitation. Even if the battle is lost in the end. The 70,000 demon troops will also be disabled. It should be said that Marshal Chaut certainly could not withstand such a "victory" either. However, at this moment, the command of the Red Lion Principality wavered.

So an opinion prevailed, and first forced his way into the city, and took Van Bock, the Grand Duke of the Red Lion, out. There is nothing wrong with this opinion in itself. At least with Van Bock, there can be a unified command. And the troops will not be half-hearted. Whether it is fighting or withdrawing, you can deal with it calmly. The idea was certain, and he immediately divided his army with 20,000 horsemen and attacked the small city.

This sudden action. Very unexpected by the demons. Since it was a battle, it was definitely necessary to concentrate the troops. Therefore, in addition to sending 5,000 people to guard the small city and prevent a sudden sneak attack in the city, the other demon forces are all confronting the reinforcements of the Red Lion Principality. So I was caught off guard. And Van Bock and others in the city were also prepared. When the 20,000 horsemen broke through to the gate of the city, they immediately went out of the city to converge, and then rushed to the reinforcements' main formation. But......

This is often the "but" that is broken.

The demons are neither blind nor stupid, although they were caught off guard when they entered the city, they must have reacted when they left the city. Although they don't know. The reinforcements were to pick up Van Bock out of town. But since the Red Lion Principality, as an enemy army, will do this, it will definitely not allow them to succeed. So the demons also divided their troops to intercept it......

The ensuing battle was like a burst of flames, suddenly burning to the extreme. All of a sudden, the battle went to a fever pitch. Around Van Bock, troops from both sides were thrown into battle. In an instant, it turned into a big scuffle.

And in the melee situation, the disadvantage of the Red Lion Principality is gradually magnified. The first is that the command is out of order, or rather. There was no command at all. All the troops of the Red Lion Principality rushed to the rescue. On the contrary, the troops invested by the demons still have rules.

The second is that the demons are good at melee. This reason is simple, melee warfare does not pay much attention to the coordination of large troops. On the contrary, it tests the strength of individual soldiers.

Finally, the fixed battlefield and the concentration of personnel make the space shrink. It is impossible to give full play to the advantages of cavalry. And the speed that the war horse does not have, it is about the same as the infantry. As a result, the casualty toll of the Red Lion Principality has skyrocketed.

At this time, the demon general who commanded the battle, General Overmars, a former acquaintance of Dipp, discovered the fighter. He began not to rush to put all the troops into it, but in batches in all directions. So with Van Bock as the center, the entire battlefield was like a millstone, gradually wearing out the troops of the Red Lion Principality. The army of the demons is on the periphery of the millstone, and the reinforcements of the Red Lion Principality are in a very unfavorable position in the center of the millstone.

Unfortunately, with the exception of a small number of troops who were still not fighting, none of the Red Lion Duchy's combat forces knew that the situation was dangerous. Being on the battlefield, fighting so lively, and not knowing the overall situation, all the soldiers thought that they were fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and they did not know that the casualties on their side had reached an astonishing number. What's even more tragic is that there is no calming down at all. And that's the result of not having a command.

However, Van Bock was still awake at this time. He was sensitive to the unfavorable situation. When he was finally escorted back to his position, he immediately sent a large number of heralds to withdraw the troops that had entered a state of frenzy to recuperate. By this time, however, it was too late......

The horn sounded, and the demons launched a general attack just right. And this fatal blow immediately crushed the Red Lion Principality.

It should be said that at the end of this campaign, the command of the Grand Duke of the Red Lion was remarkable. Under the overall disadvantage, most of the remaining troops were withdrawn, and even fought a beautiful counterattack, giving the demons a certain number of casualties, and covering the withdrawal of some civilians from the small city. But even so, the result of the defeat is already difficult to reverse.

After the battle, the troops of the Red Lion Principality withdrew only 50,000 horsemen, in fact, nearly 10,000 were wounded, and the rest were basically killed. The town also fell, and most of the civilians were not evacuated. And the damage caused to the demons was only eight thousand casualties.

To make matters worse, the return journey has become more difficult. On the way to Lion's Tooth City, Van Bock was full of tricks, trapping, counterattacking, speeding up, and changing lanes...... , but Ovimas is still in hot pursuit. And under the continuous summoning, the troops of the nearby demons also gathered, and the troops became stronger and stronger. In this way, Van Bock did not dare to retreat anymore, and instead held on to the spot. Otherwise, the retreat of the whole army may turn into a complete rout.

A terrible start. Will it lead to a chain reaction, or will Van Bock turn the tide? )
