"Baron, this time we have brought 4 cavalry regiments, 10 phalanx infantry regiments, 4 buckler infantry swordsman regiments, and 4 archer infantry regiments. The soldiers in each unit carry three days of dry food at a fast speed. March towards the front." Vera explained in detail to Lin Fenghan next to her on horseback.
"Um!"
"Baron!" At this time, Ramsay ran to Lin Fenghan anxiously and said loudly: "This can't go on like this! Our infantry is advancing too slowly. The light cavalry in front has detected the situation. Even if there are various advantages that are beneficial to us, The opportunity is also limited by insufficient numbers to block the attack, so I ask the baron to allow our heavy cavalry and light cavalry to take the lead."
"good!"
Lin Fenghan looked at the troops striding behind him thoughtfully, nodded neatly, and said quickly: "You and Kelande, Bosmi, and Romella can all go! I will give the troops the task, and then I will go too!"
"ah!"
"good!"
Colandre nodded neatly, and together with Ramsay, he greeted the cavalry on both sides of the road and rode towards the northern woodland. Groups of cavalry followed the guidance of the flag and marched dispersedly towards the north.
Woohoo!
Woohoo!
Woohoo!
¡¡
Two hours later, Lin Fenghan and others who were marching in the rear suddenly heard the sound of horns. They suddenly became energetic. After a while, three or four cavalry quickly passed by the general's guard and came to Lin Fenghan and said loudly. : "Baron, there is no royal army in the area we surveyed earlier. General Colland followed the pace of their army and discovered their rear logistics troops four kilometers away. He is now sneaking a surprise attack on their rearguard."
"General Ramsay asked me to come back quickly and tell you. The number of their rearguard is estimated to be around three to four thousand people. It is not ruled out that the troops from the west will come to support. Our cavalry has partially dismounted and formed a formation. The archers in the light cavalry They are harassing them, and some of the heavy cavalry are heading to the nearby sand, and Sarin is harassing them. Please be sure to bring the main force to support them."
"Walk!"
Lin Fenghan's eyes flashed, and he said seriously to the people beside him: "Vera. Speed ??up the general's guard and speed up to gather five kilometers away to the northwest. Tell Ma Youdun to speed up the legion's infantry."
"Sfit, quickly send messengers to send invitation signals to the cavalry units scouting in the surrounding areas, and ask them to quickly gather to the northwest."
"Ah! Yes!"
¡¡
Everyone nodded and shouted to the surroundings. The marching troops slowly mobilized. Many generals, guards, cavalry and messengers ran towards the northwest together.
The sound of war horses kept ringing from the front. Just when Lin Fenghan and the members of the general's guard arrived on the grassy hillside, Ke Langde led several cavalry guards to Lin Fenghan and said loudly.
"Baron, look, they are carrying more than 200 large carriages in total. There are archers, crossbowmen, spearmen, swordsmen, and five or six hundred cavalry guards near the carriages. At this time, depending on the situation, there are four people in total. There are five thousand people, and the cavalry we arrived has less than two thousand, so we dare not launch an attack rashly."
"Um!"
Lin Fenghan took out the telescope and observed it for a while. He patted Kelande on the shoulder with a stern expression and said with appreciation: "You are doing the right thing. They are shooting arrows to drive away the light cavalry outside us while rushing forward. The surrounding people are The soldiers must be prepared for battle. In such plains, woodlands, and uneven grasslands, if our cavalry launches an attack rashly, even if we can drive them away, we will face heavy losses. This is not allowed."
"In the battle of Sutterson Plains the day before yesterday, we lost more than 1,000 trainee cavalry. They were all knight attendants and were a rare and precious resource. If the strategic situation did not allow it, I would not allow it at all. These excellent qualified cavalry are thrown into cruel battlefields without strict training, so everyone must seriously consider whether it is worth it when using cavalry in the future."
"Um!"
"yes!"
Lin Fenghan arranged the situation in front of the viewer and said: "Let our more than 600 horse archers continue to shoot arrows and harass the outside. The other heavy cavalry will line up one kilometer away to continue to monitor and force the opponent, and wait for our phalanx infantry to arrive before launching an attack. "
"yes!"
"kindness!"
At this time, three kilometers away, the noble general Chatrisla looked hesitantly at the many cavalry in the rear facing him with uncertain expressions.The officers surrounding him said, "Now that we have been overtaken by Elantra's light cavalry, what do you think we should do?"
"General Chatrisla, General Elfasri, please arrange for our troops to transport baggage in the back row. Although more than five thousand of us have the right to control and use these money and baggage, we will also slow down the speed of these things. He arranged This means that we, the troops in the rear, should form a formation to stop the Elante people and provide cover for the retreat of their nobles and the king's troops."
¡°Damn it!¡±
"How can I say that they arranged for us to have a good job of transporting baggage without having to fight. It turned out that they wanted to use us as human shields!"
"I'm so angry. I'm very loyal to His Majesty the King, but I didn't expect that they would ask us to cover their retreat."
"There is no other way, let's all accept our fate! Who made us all low-level noble knights?"
"Brothers, our convoy is about to enter the canyons and mountains from the plains and grasslands. There is a canyon and mountains 1,700 meters ahead. Everyone marches quickly. When we get there, each of our small teams and large teams will draw one-tenth of the people. The horse blocks here, and the others quickly run for their lives, what do you think?"
"good!"
"Can!"
¡°Just do it!¡±
¡¡
A knight proposed to the people around him. Suddenly, many small nobles and leading knights representing the nobles agreed. The westward convoy suddenly accelerated. Many coachmen whipped their horses desperately, and bursts of neighing sounds filled the convoy. Suddenly he accelerated and ran forward.
"what happened?"
"Why did their convoy speed up?"
¡¡
Lin Fenghan and others in the rear looked at the noble army whose formation was beginning to become chaotic, and asked in puzzlement.
"Reporting to the Baron, we have discovered a large valley and woodland nearly two kilometers ahead. As long as we move forward, the grassland will disappear and the mountains and forests will increase. At that time, our cavalry will not be able to charge and exert its power."
"ah!"
Listening to the report of the signal force, Lin Fenghan looked stunned, quickly drew out his sword and said: "Brothers, charge, let the escaping noble scum see how powerful we are."
