440 Vekia's Counterattack (2)

"Oh knight coat of arms" Saka Cameron's eyes lit up, judging from the surface of this slush coat of arms, this should be something on a discarded knight's heavy armor,

As the mountain road became steep and difficult, the Raldian army had to start discarding the heavy equipment, and for the sake of secrecy, the Raldian army smashed all these discarded things and destroyed them, so that the complete and detailed emblem was the first

Sakamellon rubbed his stiff thumb against the slush on the surface of the coat of arms, and a burst of dirt fell from the surface, revealing half of the golden shield emblem

"Captain of the 3rd Knights of the Brunei Taruir Order" Sakamellon carefully identified the half of the golden coat of arms, and whispered the small words engraved on the edge of the coat of arms,

"Brothers, this is a big fish," Saka Melon chuckled in his hoarse voice with a hint of excitement, carefully tucked the coat of arms into his arms, and chuckled in a low voice

"The Third Army of Rui Erdian is one of the three main forces of the northern war this time, if it is really them, then the main force of Rui Erdian's army must also be nearby."

"No cunning fox can fight a seasoned hunter," Saka Meeron sneered, "They thought that they would be able to avoid everyone's eyes by clearing all the herdsmen who might see them along the way, and secretly detouring to the back of the mountain, but they didn't expect that the muddy road would reveal their whereabouts even more."

"Now that we've found the tail of the Ryordian, can we get rid of it?" asked one of the scouts in a whisper, all of them hungry after a day of lurking, their bodies frozen by the bitter cold

"No" Sakamellon looked at his subordinates covered in snowflakes, was silent for a while, shook his head and said, "We can't withdraw now, this place is only fifty miles away from the forward troops of the Legion, as long as we are a little careless, once something is discovered by the Ryrdians, it may expose the raid plan of the entire Legion"

"If we want to be glorious and rewarded, we must be patient," Sakameron said with a resolute expression, looking up at the slightly darkened sky

"The heavy snow will cover up a trace of us, this is an opportunity given to us by God, to bring back the news of the Rui Erdian army, and I believe that the rich reward we have received is enough for us to live a decent life."

"What the captain says is that we listen to the captain" Hearing the captain mention the reward, the eyes of several scouts lit up, though the cold and hunger tormented their bodies and minds,

But as Sakamellon said, the greater the danger, the greater the reward, and this time tracking down the exploits of the Ryrdian army will definitely make them extremely rewarded

Goose-feathered snowflakes completely covered their bodies, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see that these slightly protruding rocks could be human

News of the Raldian army was found in the southern section of the mountain road, and it was taken back to the legion camp fifty miles away by the scouts after dark, which made Croresart, who was still struggling to track down the whereabouts of the Raldian army, a burst of excitement.

"Get all the generals," Chroissat ordered the guards beside him, and soon several of the flag commanders of the mountain legions leading the army came to Crollissat's tent,

"Our scout has found Rylldian," Crorysette said excitedly, clicking his finger on the top right corner of the map on the desktop

"It is here that the southern section of the Arakri Mountains is as expected by the Grand Duke, the harsh western climate makes the Raldian army move slowly, although we arrived in the Arakrê Mountains earlier than us, but from the scout's report, there is only one legion of the rear troops, about 30,000 people, and in order to avoid the cold, the whole camp has been dragged from the foot of the mountain to the entrance of the mountain halfway up the mountain, I think this is just an unsuspecting rearguard force, in front of him, is the main force of the Raldian army"

"30,000 people" Regarding the news of Croryssat, a flag leader frowned slightly, and said with a solemn expression

"My lord, this time there are only 40,000 people in the forward of our department, although we have a certain advantage in numbers, but the other party is the rear army responsible for defense, and it will definitely desperately hold the mountain pass, and behind them, there are more than 100,000 main forces of the Rui Erdian army to support, if we are a little careless, it may make us fall into a heavy siege, and the subordinates think that it is better to wait for the arrival of the main army of the Grand Duke, and then it is safer to have a battle with the main force of the Rui Erdian army."

"Hehe, wait, do you think we still have room to wait?" For the construction of the head of the flag, the corner of Crowisart's mouth sneered a few times,

Striding forward, in front of everyone, he lifted the curtain of the tent with one hand and pointed to the dark prairie road outside

"Do you remember the Grand Duke's promise, which is the western steppe that you think about day and night, and wanting it requires blood

It will take at least 2 days for the Grand Duke's main force to arrive, and this is enough for more than 100,000 Ruierdian troops to calmly cross the Alaric Mountains, if we delay the fighter because of our timidity, at that time, not only will the Grand Duke not forgive us, but I am afraid that even you yourself will not be able to forgive yourself for missing such an opportunity."

"Your Excellency, please give orders, we are not cowards, and the wings of the southern goshawk will never be afraid of the claws of the lion of Rui Erdian" Looking at the vast grassland outside, a trace of blush flashed on the face of the flag leader who was still a little timid just now,

What a vast grassland

As they continued to penetrate deeper into the hinterland of the grasslands, the bannermen of the Mountain Legion felt more and more that there was a huge difference between the barren mountainous area where their tribe was located and the vast and lush grasslands, which was simply a world of difference

Thinking of the previous promise of the Grand Duke to divide the land equally, these flag leaders from the mountain peoples felt their blood boiling, and no one wanted to see such a rare opportunity slip out of their hands, even if they were broken bones

"Well, as long as you can abandon your fear, our army will win this battle" Croresette looked at several high-spirited flag commanders, and nodded with satisfaction,

After all, his mountain army was promoted from the second-line army, although he had experienced many major battles, but as the main force of the campaign, it was the first time to fight against the army of Rui Erdian, a mainland power.

Although the Northern Army's Salons could not find the north by beating the Ryordians, it was another matter to personally confront them.

Crollissatre is very clear that in terms of weaponry and combat coordination of the large army, there is a big gap between his own mountain legion, which is mainly composed of mountain peoples, and the Salonian legion, which has always been responsible for the defense of the north.

What's more, this time he still has an absolutely inferior force, and he can completely understand the vacillation of several flag commanders, but what he can do now is a fearless heart and a maddening reward,

40,000 against 150,000

If you are not careful, you will lose all the games

This is a vast grassland, and there is no terrain that can be used for hindrance and defense, but what I have to do is to risk being surrounded by a heavy circle, and stab 150,000 people in the ass with a small bamboo pole of 40,000 people

As long as you are not a fool to know what a crazy move this is,

"The Grand Duke still hasn't changed, and I will never do a loss-making deal" Looking at the resolute looks on the faces of several flag captains who went down to prepare, Crowrisat sighed in her heart,

Half of the western steppe was exchanged for 40,000 warriors of the mountain army who were willing to die, and such a deal was not a good deal

The Mountain Legion chose to attack before the early hours of the morning

This raid was fierce and short-lived, and when the entire continent thought that the Ryordian people had gained the initiative in the war,

On the other side of the northern steppes, 40,000 Vekian troops are changing history

In the dense fog of the early morning, the sudden rain of arrows and the sound of calling for battle made the people of Ruierdian unable to understand the reality of the enemy, and countless black shadows shouted and surrounded from all directions

The screams of the "enemy attack" sentries were drowned out by a violent whistling sound that pierced the air

The 12,000 lightly armed Vecchian longbowmen were the main force of the attack, their bursting and powerful longbows piercing the heavy armor of the Ryrdians, tearing a huge gap in the weak, narrow line of the Third Army

The bow and arrows of the "three rounds" Wiki Mountain Hunter were rapid and accurate, and the whistling sound of sharp weapons cutting through the air was constantly heard in the sky, and the black arrow clusters were like never-ending torrential rain, smashing down on the Ruierdian camp at the mountain pass.

"Smack"

"What the hell is going on" Marquis Petri, commander of the Third Army, was completely bewildered by the tragic scene in front of him, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, his army of 30,000 was in complete confusion,

The layout of the mountain road was too long, so that the soldiers of the Third Army could not complete the assembly at all, and some scattered cavalry tried to launch a counter-charge against the enemy attacking from three directions.

But they were all knocked to the ground by the opponent's sharp arrows

Faced with this situation, most of the infantry had to choose to hide at the entrance of the mountain range, relying on the rugged rocks to resist the constant throwing of arrows from the sky.

This undoubtedly made the originally spacious mountain pass crowded.

In the blink of an eye, countless clusters of flaming arrows struck from all directions of the mountain pass.

The camp of the Third Army was spread all over this section of the mountain pass, which was about a mile long, and rockets from the air kept igniting the tents made of felt, and countless Ryerdian soldiers fell victim to the fire, and the soldiers who survived had to run out from behind the rocks in the mountains at the risk of being shot.

It was a one-sided massacre

The third army of Rui Erdian, who was in charge of the broken rear, was taken by surprise, and the broken rear army of nearly 30,000 people was surrounded by 40,000 Vecchian archers from three directions in the early morning.

The thick fog took a terrible toll on the Ryorian army

By the time the commander, Marquis Petri, realized that he had been surrounded on three sides, the corpses of nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Third Army were even blocked by a mountain crossing nearly a mile wide.

And everywhere in the mountain road, there are corpses of Rui Erdian soldiers who fell like straws,

The bitter cold of the wind and snow froze the corpses together with the ground, and from a distance they looked like a quick and inconspicuous piece of broken stone

The harsh climate of the Arakary Mountains made the news that the troops of the Royal Highness had been attacked by the enemy for a long time, and the Duke of Berlande, Marshal of Ruierdian, who was crossing the mountains with a main force of 100,000 troops, was greatly surprised.

This strategic plan was personally designated by him, on the one hand, to send elite cavalry to hold back the main force of the Kugit in Samandu, and on the other hand, to lead the main force of the kingdom's northern army from the western section of Achmor, bypassing the defensive line of sight of Tulga, and along the western mountain range to Dugan further north.

Flanking back and forth, completing the great encirclement of the entire Tulga

This is an extremely classic strategic layout, even Berrant himself believes that this is the largest, most sophisticated, and most unexpected strategic plan he has made in his life, and his name will inevitably become the most dazzling stroke in the history of the entire continental war with this unpredictable attack.

But now someone has come to sue him, and not only has the plan been discovered, but the other party has also plucked up the courage to poke himself in the ass, which can't help but make Marshal Berlant, who has always been steady and calm, feel a pang of annoyance in his heart

"Do you know who the other party is?" Berrant asked the guards beside him with his hands behind his back, and from here, he could see that the foot of the mountain in the distance had been dyed red by the fire, and countless columns of black smoke were faintly visible

Piles of small black dots were spreading like ants from the foot of the mountain in the distance, it was the rout of the third army of Ruierdian, and the thunderous explosions and terrible killing sounds were still coming from that direction,

"Lord Marshal," said a knight with a lion-wing spear from Rally, stopped his horse in front of Marshal Berrant and saluted breathlessly

"I am the flag officer Asteide, I was ordered to investigate the circumstances of the attack, according to the report of the rout, a Vikyan legion, in the early hours of this morning, attacked the garrison of the Third Army in charge of the rear of the palace, because of the commander Marquis Petri's improper command, there was a great rout of the whole army, from the current statistics, the loss of material and baggage is incalculable, and more than 20,000 soldiers were killed"

"What are you saying that the Third Army has lost the mountain pass" Duke Berrant heard the report of the flag bearer, and his usually steady face turned slightly pale,

The mountain pass garrisoned by the Third Army is not only the most important material hoarding place for the entire Crossing Army, but also the most critical security guarantee, and the loss of the mountain pass not only means that the entire army will fall into the predicament of lack of materials, but also the back of the entire army is exposed to the Wikiasian spear.

It's like a dagger against your back, and if you want to, you can cut the Ryrdian legion in two from behind.

"Petri, this idiot" Thinking of the importance of the mountain pass camp and his current embarrassment, Marshal Berlant looked extremely angry and indignant, "It is really a shame for me to have 30,000 heavy soldiers unable to defend a mountain pass camp,"

Brant turned around and said, "Order at once the Fourth and Thirteenth Legions, which are guarding the mountainside, no matter what the cost, must take the lost mountain pass camp to me before sunset today."
