Power and Empire Chapter 3745: Under the sword (10)

The battle broke out suddenly, like a red tide rolling back and drowning the scattered imperial cavalry in the distance. The imperial soldiers who saw this scene on the city wall took a breath of air, even the sturdy imperial cavalry. In a sudden encounter, I was also caught off guard, especially in the dark night before my eyes, the red cavalry, the flaming iron rods, and the huge rumbling sound made the horses startled and uncontrollable running around

"Everyone is moving closer to me!"

"What are you still waiting for, fight, fight!" All kinds of shouts spread far in the night

The scattered queues of the imperial cavalry were intertwined in front of the red tide on the opposite side, fighting together in one ball, and it was almost impossible to tell who was who in the dark night. The red-armored cavalry on the opposite side is holding a cavalry buckler. The weapon in his hand is either a long club or a sharp machete. It gallops like the wind, followed by a sword and a spear stabbing, and the weapon collides with sparks in the night. At first glance, the enemy’s mountains were full of people covered by the tsunami. The imperial cavalry suddenly splashed with blood and fell to the ground. In fact, the opponent’s combat power is not stronger than the imperial cavalry, but the number is more than three times that of the imperial cavalry. Moreover, the constant flare of fire weapon, the impact produced in the dark night, is far more mysterious than seeing it in daylight.

The pungent gunpowder smoke, the smell of blood, and the cold of the knife light fill the surrounding space at once.

"Attention, there is an ambush!" An imperial cavalry officer shouted with a grim face, and a red light flashed in the distance. The imperial emperor's official's shoulder was suddenly hit by something, and his right arm was on his right. Hanging down as if it was broken, blood dripped from the fingers like a broken bead line. He covered the injured area with his hand, loosened his finger, and all blood came into his eyes.

"What is this..." The imperial cavalry officer's eyes fell on the tips of his fingers, his body swayed, and the blood that fell on the ground from the horse, like this officer's imperial cavalry was not Shao, he was very **** and fought very bravely. Seeing that the situation suddenly reversed, none of these imperial cavalrymen flee, and they were all bloody. The corpses and horses were stacked on top of each other, and they were like building a cross board of flesh and blood. The sounds of drinking and fighting are intertwined, and the blood is still splashing! No one thought that the Erotians would even dare to fight back. It was the blink of an eye and a burst of fire, and the imperial cavalry fell from the horses, like leaves being swept down in the wind

"Can the cavalry outside the city be withdrawn!"

"Can't withdraw it!"

Everyone’s complexion was not good. The cavalry was too scattered and penetrated too far. It was obvious that they could not withdraw back. Faced with several times the enemy’s counterattack, these imperial cavalry fought to the last moment. In fact, they were not unable to withdraw. There were even a few imperial cavalry covered in blood who turned and ran back, but soon they stopped their horses again. Behind the cavalry was a formation of infantry, and rows of long spears followed orders. It started to be neatly leveled, as if a long silver-white line had been erected under King Ero’s capital city. If they were allowed to make way at this moment, it would also open a way for the red-armored cavalry rushing behind.

"Turn back!" The imperial cavalry looked at each other, turned their horses and ran forward, like a lone eagle in the sky. Behind them, the red tide swooped, and the sword light flooded them. The figure of the famous imperial cavalry, the sound of arrows flying in the sky, the whirling wind, the bursting swords colliding and scrolling, and the sound of battle suddenly became much smaller, just like the strong wind outside the city. Began to become gentle

"Stop, don't move forward anymore"

Someone inside the Red Armored Cavalry raised their right hand, and a large number of the Red Armored Cavalry began to squeeze their horses and turn, and they disappeared into the night like a low tide quickly in front of the imperial infantry. Suddenly, the imperial infantry queue can only be watched. It is impossible to judge the reality of the enemy in the dark, let alone know how many enemies there are. The complete destruction of the imperial cavalry has a great impact on the infantry. In such a dark night, I don’t know. The specific location of the opponent, without knowing the number of the opponent, chasing without authorization is to kill oneself, not to mention that the opponent is a cavalry, and only cavalry can chase the cavalry. How can the infantry chase it?

"Stay steady, don't move!"

"Stand firmly in the line, with the spears upright" the emperors ordered to their soldiers. Lisatir, standing on the head of the capital city, stared at the enemies that disappeared in the night, and now understands that the opponent is high in front of him. What does it mean to be exposed

That was basically a signal to launch an ambush. The other party’s ambush was premeditated, but why Hu chose to launch it at this moment, but Lisatier felt incomprehensible. In the previous two months, the entire Ethiopian The troops in the northern part of Luo are only two to three thousand people, and the defense of King Ero is not strong. The two hundred thousand southern coalition forces, if they really want to fight, can be filled with fifty to six thousand lives. In the capital of Luo, in the face of such a good opportunity, the southern coalition did not make the slightest move, and now the imperial army has gathered in the northern part of Eero. At this time, the Eero southern coalition is launching an attack of such a scale. Could it be that the head was kicked by a donkey? !

He had been observing the southern coalition forces for two months, but at a moment he realized that he could not understand the southern coalition forces. Lisatir did not expect that after two quiet months, the first official confrontation between the empire and the southern vassal coalition forces It turned out to be such a result! The empire was defeated horribly, and all 1,500 elite cavalrymen of the empire were killed in battle, and the price paid by the other side was negligible. Although this was only a small-scale encounter, it was tantamount to a slap in the face of the empire! And where did those red cavalry come from?

The white mist in the morning is flowing on the ground like a river

The sky gradually brightened. In a woodland location, Poros, the deputy commander of the Red Dragon Battle Banner raised his hand. Behind him, about four thousand Red Dragon Cavalry Knights stopped their horses, and some people grumbled. Gulping gulp of water, some people simply poured water on their heads. A Red Dragon Knight officer came to Poros from behind and whispered.

"My lord, if the Erotians want to run, let them run well. Why are we going to help them cut off? Although we won last night, it was in the case that the Imperial team did not have time to react, otherwise the emperor **If the team knows that we only have four thousand cavalry, and we want to get away so easily, it won’t be so difficult."

"Although they are all bait, they can't be thrown away casually, and we also need these Erotians to catch bigger fish"

The corner of Poros’s mouth has a slight coldness. It is true that the southern princes want to run, and the ambush last night was entirely a temporary intent of Poros. As the head of the Knights dispatched by the Red Dragon Palace in Aden this time, He needs to have a measure of his opponent's combat power. He still understands the Red Dragon Knights under his command. Although the Red Dragon Knights are the guards of the temple, the knights are also carefully selected warriors. But most of the red dragon knights have very little chance to set foot on the battlefield in their lifetime, so the personal strength of the red dragon knight is quite strong, but in the real battlefield, personal strength is meaningless, even the most powerful warrior is surging. In front of the enemy, it was also crushed to death

Not to mention, the powerful imperial army that swept across the entire northern and northern Barrows has the title of the most powerful army in the European continent, especially the imperial cavalry, which ranks first in the mainland. I want Let his subordinates know the difference between daily fighting and fighting on the battlefield. Poros believes that the best way is to fight the imperial cavalry.

Poros knows that the withdrawal of the Southern Allied Forces will definitely draw the Imperial Forces out of King Ero, and to chase down the evacuated enemy, naturally the light cavalry is the best, with mental arithmetic and unintentional, the battle last night , In one fell swoop, severely damaged the imperial cavalry in the capital of Erot, which was tantamount to cutting off the imperial pursuit of the southern princes

Poros retracted his gaze from a distance. He was very satisfied with the result. The Imperial Cavalry was indeed very strong, but the Red Dragon Knights also proved that they were stronger than the Imperial Cavalry. The destruction of the 1,500 elite cavalry of the Empire was only a loss. More than two hundred, including no more than six hundred injured, Poros could clearly feel that the red dragon knights’ fear of the empire has diminished a lot, and in accordance with the empire’s traditional style of paying debts for blood, Thousands of cavalry died in battle, this shame must be washed away, even if someone in the southern princes of Eero wants to talk to the empire, they will have to stop because of the death of thousands of cavalry!

Two birds with one stone! After Poros took advantage of the princes in the southern part of Eero, they also made the princes in the southern part of Eero bear a scapegoat

"My lord, the report just received" a red dragon knight hurriedly came from a distance with an expression

Poros subconsciously tightened the rein in his hand, quickly took the letter and opened it, his eyes swept, and his face suddenly fell silent

"My lord, what happened?" the men next to him asked.

"It's nothing, Elder Sulisa just told me that the Imperial Navy blocked the entrance of the Eero River." Poros pinched the letter into a ball, his eyes flashed with an imperceptible chill, just as he arrived in Eero. When he was in the south, Sulitha secretly moved north, from the Eero River to the north, crossing the inner sea into the hinterland of the empire, until reaching the Imperial Capital Dahai City. There, Elder Sulisa will initiate the divine punishment, that is the real killer, and what he has to do is to attract the attention of the empire when Elder Sulisa secretly sneaks into the empire, but I don’t know. What happened, Elder Sulisa’s Aden fleet accidentally encountered the Imperial Navy, and eleven Aden battleships were sunk.

This report had to sink Poros' heart a bit, and his heart affirmed the temple's strategy even more. If you want to severely damage the empire, you can only do it in the empire's homeland.

The strength of the empire itself comes from the economic prosperity and commercial prosperity of the empire itself, the large number of soldiers, the first-class military forging in the mainland, and the countless imperial chambers of commerce continuously importing various resources and wealth Empire,

Is the battle really so easy last night? Only he himself knows that, not necessarily, although the Imperial Cavalry has more than one thousand, and the Red Dragon Knight dispatched four thousand, and still in a situation of mental arithmetic and unintentional, the imperial cavalry rushed to fight with one-third of the force. In the end, it can hurt six hundred horses here, as can be seen from other sturdy qualities, and this time the empire has gone south with a total of 80,000 troops! According to the empire’s combat readiness, even if the entire army of 80,000 is destroyed in the yellow sand south of Eero, another 80,000 army will soon be brought down. The method of weakening the empire through ordinary war proves to be outdated.

Only by God's punishment can the empire's ambitions be shattered!

Ero Royal Capital

Last night’s tension began to dissipate as the sun shone on the city’s head, and the Eero began to emerge from the streets and alleys. Last night’s battle was just an inconspicuous episode, because the Eero kings actually It has been surrounded for two months. From the initial tension to the complete disregard now, the Erotians have no illusions about the southern princes. However, after confirming the news that the southern princes of Eero are all gone, the Erotians collectively Silent

At this moment, on a high collar to the north of King Eero’s capital, with a slight chill in the wafting mist, a young black man climbed the last step, staring at King Eero in the distance. The great plains of the capital, spreading boundless woodland and grassland, like a huge dark green carpet, extending to the distance of the earth

"The Aden Red Dragon Palace ambushed the troops out of the city last night. Is this certain?" The black-haired young man asked with a solemn expression

Standing behind him is Anklow in a dark green dress. The charming face of the former Princess Eero smiled bitterly and said, "It's not the first time I have met Aitmeng Mountain and Aden Red Dragon Palace~ IndoMTL .com~ Although I’m not sure how many of the Red Dragon Knights came last night, judging from the speed of engagement and the appearance of the red dragon’s breath, it’s definitely the Red Dragon Palace. Red dragon knights don’t look at things like this. The name of a knight actually has no knighthood at all, so even within the Kingdom of Aden, the style of the Aden Red Dragon Cavalry Group has mixed reputations. The kind of hit and run last night is basically red. Dragon Knights!"

Emperor Minister Hu Keqili led an army of 80,000 to the south, but no one would know that the black-haired youth reached the capital of Eero earlier than Hu Keqili’s army of 80,000

However, this is also normal. The army marching will not be very fast because of the transportation of materials and heavy luggage. In terms of marching speed, Hu Keqili still needs to cooperate with the imperial navy driving into the big river. The fleet remains the same, so although it has been three days south, it is still a full one hundred and fifty miles away from the capital of Erot. Wherever there is a black-haired young man like this, he can go straight to the capital of Erot with only a few accompanying cavalry.

"Can you find a way to get something like Breath of Red Dragon?" When the black-haired young man heard the name Breath of Red Dragon, his eyes lit up. The report of the cavalry battle last night was sent to him. , Of course, this is not the one reported by the Ninth Banner, but from the Southern Intelligence Department. It mentioned the Breath of the Red Dragon. After hearing the description of the Breath of the Red Dragon, the black-haired youth thought of the musket the first time. , A simple version of the musket!
