In August, Iying in Ribogan County, the black sky always shrouded the earth, the ground was full of muddy potholes, and white raindrops hit the face coldly, bringing There is a strange and unpleasant smell of water vapor
The horse's hoof wrapped with iron flakes stepped heavily in the quagmire, and soon it was stained with a thick layer of mud, which made the running horse feel a little strenuous.
With the victory of the Battle of Yiying, the line of defense of the Swadians was forcibly torn open, and the counterattack of the famous Dongting general Bogoerzhamu also started quickly,
Forty thousand East Court cavalry with high morale, like an extremely sharp Kujit scimitar, severely chopped down from the gap called Yiyingte, nearly 100,000 Swadian main troops do everything Two,
The connection between the legions was quickly severed by countless interspersed Eastern cavalry, and they could only blindly crowd into the nearby towns, hoping to find a barrier for themselves to rely on. This disorderly move is undoubtedly To make the range of activities of the Eastern Cavalry more rampant, as long as you avoid those fortresses or towns with a certain degree of defense, you will basically not encounter the Swadians
Kujites are masters of hunting on the grasslands. This kind of guerrilla tactics that require a high degree of tactical literacy is really a very easy and comfortable thing for the grassland peoples who have been targeting wolves since childhood.
For some extremely exhausted Swadians, it is simply a torment of hell. Every day, they must be twelve minutes of spirit, staring at a pair of pitiful and sad eyes, and beware of the possibility of appearing at any time. With his flank, behind, and even in front, the 40,000 Dongting cavalry that can easily step himself into pieces, this kind of life can be said to live like a year
Even so, in the past half month, the Swadian army has lost more than 5,000 troops. The East Court archers are like ghosts without a trace, always in the night or heavy rain without seeing the front. When it's stubborn, it appears from a distance like a prey hunting prey
These Dongting archers, who came in a whistling, shamelessly shooting a rain of arrows, and then disappeared without a trace, are definitely a nightmare for all the Swadian infantry regiments,
The Swadian Legion, which previously relied on solid tactics and slowly advanced, is like being blindfolded and completely messed up. It has lost news of its friendly forces, cannot know the enemy’s movements, and suffers from time to time. Like a rain of arrows, the wounded are increasing, and the morale of the soldiers, like the sky in front of them, has dropped to the lowest point.
Even the Swadian officers are very frustrated by this,
They used to stand up in grief and indignation, and raised their index fingers with disdain at the Eastern Court archers who could only shoot arrows from a distance, and then issued waves of vigorous Swadian-style national curses.
But it's gone now. They slumped their heads and stared blankly into the distance. It was useless to curse, because the eastern cavalry on the opposite side seemed a little bit like the guy with the red knight floating on their heads. No interest,
These Swadian knights, wearing heavy armor and holding giant shields in their hands, are perverted in defense. At the beginning, there were some proud Eastern cavalry who wanted to harvest the heads of these guys.
But after trying a few times, I found that these guys are still alive and kicking even if they have a few arrows in their bodies, no one will waste precious arrows in the hands of these guys.
Arrow clusters occupies an extremely important position in the possessions of the Khergits. A well-built and sharp arrowhead is an invincible weapon in Khergit's marksman.
Looking at the eastern cavalry disappeared in the distance, the Swadian knights can only lament that the destruction of the First Knights has completely lost the possibility of mobile support for the Swadians, and they also lost the ability to fight the eastern cavalry. The cost of this kind of high mobility interspersed tactics,
If it weren’t for the former Secretary of Military Affairs Prays to have quickly ordered the legions to stand on the ground when he learned of the destruction of the First Knights, the losses to the Swadian army would be several times the current casualties.
But even so, in some regiments with low morale or more peasants, there is an inevitable rout phenomenon. It is August, which is the ripening season for domestic wheat in Swadian.
Because of the fact that most areas in the north were looted, even if Swadian regained part of it, the abandoned land would lack sufficient labor, and the farmers would be transferred to fight.
This year’s food crisis has been exposed from the very beginning, and Paravin, which has a high concentration of supplies, is better.
But in some areas of the south, there is already an uncontrollable erosion situation, mobs, people who die of starvation, people who choke to death because of eating bark, no-man’s land where plagues are rampant, and several counties in the south. Almost everywhere, not only some of the poor garrisons chose to flee, but the local lords did not dare to stay in these dangerous areas anymore,
Swadian’s new southern governor, Duke Hajulla, erected a 2-meter-high defensive line on the periphery of these areas. It seemed that he was going to wait until all the people inside were starved to death before he came out to clean up the miserable situation.
I was fighting blood in the front, but there was a large number of starving people at home, and the kingdom still did nothing about this. Such southern soldiers are the main force of the rout,
Most of them come from the area south of Paravin. It was cannon fodder sent by the local lord. If it weren’t for the poor food rations and the resettlement fee of 2 silver coins per month, these desperate farmers would not come here to die. , The Swadian army has always dealt with extremely harshly for deserters or for the routs who panicked in the defeat,
These soldiers were executed as usual and hung on the masts of the barracks. The strong smell of corpses also enveloped the Swadian barracks. It would be suffocating to stay for a long time.
It is the most uncomfortable place when eating. Many people vomit constantly and finally lose their appetite at all. The rotting corpse also breeds a lot of flies flying around the army camp. It looks like black and crushing the ground from a distance. Very scary
Even if it is heavy rain, it is difficult to disperse them. In this era, there is no concept of epidemic prevention. Some terrible diseases are also spreading. The Battle of Ribogan has lasted for 2 months. This is the node that can reverse the entire battle,
And this overwhelming and untimely heavy rain has made this conference battle that has attracted the attention of the entire continent a little bit cold and embarrassing,
"The Swadians are exhausted." In this case, the Eastern Cavalry, who has always been mainly harassing warfare, finally showed the chilling fangs that he was prepared to sharpen.
"The center of the target continent, Paravin"
Standing in front of the most powerful throne in the East Grassland, King Han of East Ting pulled out his saber without hesitation, and pointed towards the southern sky majesticly. His upright posture was like a split. All the sharp scimitars, with wind, rain and blood
"Target Palavin"
Outside the king's court, one hundred thousand eastern cavalry roared excitedly, resounding across the sky.
Countless sharp scimitars are lifted up high like the waves of the sea, seeming to be able to crush the so-called Palavin at any time,
For this moment, they have waited for too long and suppressed for too long, 10 years of childbirth, 10 years of training, compared with the arrogant and arrogant West Palace, which launches invasion war at any time,
East King’s Court has always been like a farmer who quietly farms at home. Most of the kingdoms on the mainland don’t pay much attention to it. A country established by a traitor cannot be recognized by the mainland countries anyway. Otherwise, it would be equal to It is to encourage the lords under their command to stand on their own feet. In addition to the Doroks who know a little bit about it, the West King Court, who is also a Kujit, also has a little knowledge.
When this 20-year-old power is released at once, it is like an irresistible torrent
The news that Dongting went south with all its strength shocked the entire continent. It turned out that in the far northern grasslands, out of the sight of most kingdoms, the Dongting dynasty, which has been neglected, still hides such terrible power
This is a strong shout from the Kujit nation. As a traitor who bears the name of being exiled by the Western Royal Court, King East Khan is definitely a legend. He was once the most relied upon by Queen Aichamore. General, the commander of the 100,000 army of the Aichamore Dynasty,
At that time, the Aichamore dynasty had just unified the West Prairie, and the ambitious Queen Aichamore immediately launched a war to dominate the entire Kujit. At that time, the young queen gathered under the command of the quiet and steady. Hatalu who is good at layout, Bogoerzhamu who fights like wind, the brave and cunning Zuowei Wang
The army of the Eastern Expedition with Hatalu as the main general and Bogorzamu as the lieutenant was dispatched. This also caused the Aichamore dynasty to be almost emptied. As a result, Swadian took advantage of this and entered for the future tribal rebellion. Foreshadowing ~IndoMTL.com~ internal contradictions and the invasion of the Swadians made the Aichamore dynasty quickly withered,
Hatalu, who led a hundred thousand dynasty elites to fight in the East Steppe, heard that the queen was dead, and immediately turned against the court of Kujit and became the court of the East.
Opened the era of two kings of Kujit’s stuff,
It is precisely by adhering to Queen Aichamore’s original military strategy that the East Court Cavalry has developed an elite military structure, and its combat power is much higher than that of the West Court.
In the golden autumn of September, the sky in the Dongting grassland after the rainstorm was exceptionally clear. The autumn wind was blowing, the grass was floating, and the flags were hunting, setting off the strong body of the Dongting Khan King Hatalu with a domineering ignorance of the heroes of the world. ,
He narrowed his eyes to look at the distant sky. As far as his gaze was, countless Eastern cavalrymen were advancing quickly to the south, like countless unrestrained iron currents rolling, carrying everything that was crushed. The momentum cuts the whole land apart
August, what a wonderful season, Her Royal Highness Princess Ssaihules, have you seen it? This is the power of the Kujites built according to your model. In the face of such power, any obstacles All are ridiculous"
