Power and Empire Chapter 660: Sap (8)

660 playing sap (eight)

The fat man seemed to be indifferent to everything that happened outside. He was talking with Mao Morwenlis with a serious face about the war between the Eastern Cavalry and the Swadians in Borrigan.

Because the heavy rain drenched the clothes, the guard bought some dry wood from a nearby caravan, and a fire was raised in this cliff wall that could hide from the rain. The fat man used a wooden stick to plan it and raised it in front of him. The fire, the red fire shining on the face, looks a bit unreal,

"I know that you have been in the East Court, and you have also been to the Swadian Northern Collar. Based on your experience, who will win the collision between the East Court Strong Bow and the Swadian Spear?"

The fat man tilted his head and asked Mao Mowenlis who was nervous in front of him.

Isn’t it something I can think about? "Mao Morwenlis was a little at a loss. This question was too sudden and too far away from his identity.

I am a small businessman and need to consider such a national event? Of course, in front of the fat man, he dared not say that, he hesitated for a while before saying

"It should be the East Court Strong Bow will be a little better"

"Oh? Why do you think so?" The fat man raised his head in astonishment, and Mamowenlis' answer surprised him. You must know that according to the report of the Ministry of Supervision, the fat man has identified Borrigan this time. The battle should end with the victory of the Swadians,

Although the East Court dispatched almost all black armored archers, starting from some recent battles, the heavy armored Swadian infantry cluster is indeed the nemesis of the East Court archers,

These heavily armed regiments armed like tortoise shells lined up in dense squares on the battlefield slowly advancing, like solid square barriers

The front is a shield player, and the back is a four-meter long spear specially designed to deal with cavalry. Because this long spear is too long, it is difficult to balance, so it is erected high when moving, and in the middle is the archer responsible for driving.

When encountering the impact of the East Court Cavalry, it will immediately gather in the middle, and use long spears and bows to counter the impact of the East Court Cavalry. It is said that the effect is quite good. In Borrigan, where the terrain is relatively flat, this multi-functional square formation is Like a mobile fortress with a collection of long-range attacks and close combat, several large-scale attacks by the Eastern Cavalry did not work. On the contrary, it was like compressed sponge, which was squeezed and difficult to expand.

It is the black armored archer who is known for long-range attacks among the Eastern Cavalry. They can only wander outside the array in vain, causing some innocuous damage with their bows and arrows.

It can be seen from the above that Prais, who commanded the battle, is indeed a veteran in the use of infantry tactics, looking for the weaknesses of the Dongting people, and using the strengths of the Swadian Legion.

The unique tortoise formation he invented has even been referred to as "Ikadiva’s Spear and Shield" by many people and the Vikya longbow sniper array.

One is the sharpest attack formation, and the other is the strongest defensive formation. Coupled with the strong combat power shown by Swadian’s First Knights, it also weakens the Dongting people’s cavalry advantage. ,

If there is enough time, Prais, who relies on stability to advance the front, is indeed quite likely to squeeze out the Dongting people from Borrigan little by little.

What. . It’s just an intuition."

Mao Morwenlis looked a little at a loss under the gaze of the fat man. The black pupils of the fat man, like the starry sky in the dark night, made people feel frustrated.

His voice stopped, and he said with emotion, "The Swadian Cavalry Corps is no longer what it used to be. If it were the Northern Army in its heyday, or the commander would still be the experienced Duke of Berrant , The cavalry of the East Court is absolutely afraid to go south,

At that time, the Northern Army was a gathering of stars, and under its command there were not only new and talented young generals. There are also experienced generals who are good at commanding, not to mention famous generals such as the lance Kurdish and Steppe Fox Somiya, but even so, the Northern Army dare not say that it can defeat the Eastern Cavalry.

However, most of the participants in the Battle of Borrigan this time are recruits who have just been recruited, and most of the commanders are middle-level officers with little experience.

If the attack went smoothly, it’s better to say something. If you lose, I’m afraid that the whole army will be shaken immediately.

But the East Court Cavalry is completely different. They are all elites trained by the Wang Court for many years. Although they have lost some points, their spirit has not decayed.

The main force still has more than 40,000 cavalry groups,

The East Court cavalry gave up a lot of places so happily, but doesn't this mean that the forces that can be invested in the East Court are increasing, and the Swadian defensive line is being stretched invisibly,

It’s just like our businessmen, giving up losing money and taking back the funds to make more transactions and make a lot of money."

"You seem to have some truth in saying this"

The fat man nodded when he heard it. Yes, Mamowenlis’s statement is unique, but it is very logical. This is where the fat man has been confused. The East Court Cavalry was indeed defeated a bit faster. According to this The Dongting people’s offensive has been completely contained at the speed of the escalation, and there will be no choice but to retreat into the Dongting Grassland.

But if this is the case, wouldn't the Eastern Court send reinforcements to it? Such a loss does not seem to be done by Dongting Khan, who has always been good at playing autumn wind

What should you be waiting for? The fat man stood up talking to himself, his eyes were a little confused and looked at the rain curtain outside. There is nothing to worry about on both sides,

One is Prais, a geek with experience and eclectic tactics, and the other is known for attacking fiercely and cavalry is like the famous Dongting general Bogoerzhamu who sweeps the leaves in autumn.

One of these two is a spear and the other is a shield. They fought their opponents for a whole winter. The fat guy thought there was still a good show to watch, but who knew it was such an uncreative offensive and defensive. War,

The stalemate and slow battle on both sides, like two people who are both twitching and shy, can’t wait to see the best forever,

The Swadian’s tortoise tactics are quite stable. Unless something unexpected happens, I’m afraid that the East Court’s expectations will be lost. The fat man sighed.

Several businessmen who were soaked in rain seemed to have discovered this sheltered place. They staggered towards this side. A guard wanted to stop, but the fat man waved to stop it.

One of the businessmen hesitantly asked, "It's too rainy, the road is full of mud, and the carriage is stuck in it. I wonder if I can hide here?"

"Of course, it is an honor to be able to relieve the fatigue of traveling merchants"

The fat man greeted him kindly, and looked at the outfits of these businessmen. Although they had changed their clothes to relatively popular fabrics, instead of the leather sweaters that Kujites were accustomed to, they had broad foreheads and hanging hairs on both sides. It undoubtedly proved the identity of these merchants,

"Are you all Kujites?" The fat man asked the merchants to sit down and asked curiously,

"Yes, my name is Asig, I come from the remote Boss steppe"

A middle-aged Kujit sitting cross-legged hesitated for a while before bending over and saluting. His manner and language were a bit strange. At first glance, he just became a businessman. Other businessman just sat silently. Behind him, like a semi-arc behind him

It can be seen that this Kujit businessman has a unique identity and should be the leader of a certain tribe. When the leader speaks, everyone must remain silent. This is the rule of the Kujit tribe

"Asig in the Boss Steppe? I remember that was the name of a tribal leader of 30,000 people. Your horse farm should be closer to the east. This year, the water plants there are good, and there is no war for the time being. Do you need the leader to come out to do business in person?" The fat man said with a smile,

Tewarin is the closest connection point to the northern prairie. It is not very strange to be able to see the leader of the Kujit tribe,

"You. Know me?" Asig's face was a little dark and rough, he didn't expect to be recognized in the distant Tvarin, his simple face was a little embarrassed, and he shook his head helplessly.

"It’s not all this year’s rainy season. The entire horse farm is filled with water. Even the flying horseshoes can live on the muddy ground. If the hoarded leather goods are not shipped out, they will become moldy if they are piled up at home. In one season, there is no return. Even the patriarch has to work for his livelihood. The women and children in the family are still waiting for us to return with food."

"Oh? It rains in your place too?

The fat man twitched his eyebrows slightly. The heavy rain on the grassland is not like here. It just comes, like a big basin of water suddenly poured down, in front of such bad weather,

The grassland will be muddy~IndoMTL.com~ Livestock will not be able to graze. If there is a terrible hurricane, the people and livestock will be drawn to places where they can’t be found.

For the prairie tribe, it is no less than the loss of a small war. In this heavy rain, I am afraid that many tribes will be affected. Thinking of this, the fat man feels a little depressed, and he still bears it on his head. A Kujit's crown?

"Yes, at this time of the year, Burkiss, the **** of heavy rain, will start from the Higgs steppe in the northeast on the road across the Kiryan Rath mountain range." The tribal leader named Aslg responded solemnly. "At that time, the heavy rain season in the grassland will also follow. The heavy rain will make our tents unable to withstand it, and occasionally it will be mixed with hail that can kill livestock. In order to prevent the hoarded fur from becoming moldy, we all make one in advance. Yue started from the pasture because of the farthest journey. When he arrived here, it was the time when the rainy season came.

"Oh, a month ago..." Fatty's heart touched a bit. A month ago, the reinforcements of the East Court just went south. A month ago, the Battle of Ribogan entered the stalemate period between the two sides. A month ago , The East Court Cavalry slowly gathered their strength when they were clearly missing the ground.

This is a coincidence, isn't it true that Dongting people have been acting for a month at all? In fact, what is really waiting for is the rainy season in the north as early as expected. ..
