lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
Since the failure of the night attack by the Clay clan, a large number of Clay cavalry has been divided into small groups like crazy, continuously harassing the expeditionary army. No matter day or night, there will be a small group of Clay fighters trying to approach the expeditionary army from different directions. The popular shooters in charge of scout affairs will naturally not let them achieve their goals easily. Therefore, in the past ten days, every day will Dozens of small-scale battles.
Although the popular shooters are the elite of Cassano, they will still feel tired, will still be injured and bleeding, and there will be casualties after encountering the suicide attack of the Clay clan. So when the expeditionary army marched less than 3oo kilometers away from the Jinghu camp where the chief of the Clay clan was located, at least 2oo popular shooters died in the line. Although they killed 2o times their own enemy, they were in Lane’s In my heart, there is still a bit of pain.
In the past 29 days, the Imperial Expeditionary Force has penetrated more than 25oo kilometers into the grassland, destroyed the settlements of the Clay tribe more than 4o along the way, and annihilated more than 18,000 Clay fighters. According to the information collected by the Fengxing shooters, it is clear that the Clay clan has already shrunk and concentrated in the area around Jinghu Lake. Although Orlando is still unclear where there are exactly how many enemies there are, one thing is certain, that is, as the leader of the Clay clan, Ah Since Chief Budul chose to station troops in Jinghu, the next main decisive battle will inevitably be nearby.
Now the Imperial Expeditionary Force is less than 3oo kilometers away from Dijing Lake. If this distance is a long-distance raid on a fast horse, it can be reached overnight, but Orlando does not plan to adopt this method, because it is It's too risky, and the whole army will be wiped out with a little carelessness. It's better to move forward steadily and steadily.
The Chief Abdul in Jinghu naturally also had the same idea. Now he has concentrated 10,000 elite Clay shooters and assisted the army of 350,000. This huge army of 450,000 sounds enough to make any Clay people. The blood was boiling, because the last time the Clay clan had this number of shooters, it was already hundreds of years ago. At that time, the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion on the mainland had just begun.
Abdul looked at the densely packed people on the prairie with ambition in Jinghu, determined to fight the main force of the expeditionary force. As the master of the prairie, Chief Abdul has an innate advantage, that is, he can choose Position on the battlefield to maximize your own advantages.
The Imperial Expeditionary Army and the Clay army approached cautiously. The cavalry units of the two sides began to contact, and this contact quickly evolved into a small-scale battle. The cavalry units invested by both sides became larger and larger, and eventually exploded. After a series of battles, they both confirmed each other's intentions, and slowly chose the most beneficial plan for them to start the layout before the decisive battle.
Chief Abdul led an army of Clays of 450,000 to set up a camp on the west of Uranos Ranch. Uranos Ranch is about 5o kilometers from Jinghu Lake. Its terrain is slightly higher in the west and offset in the east. Low, more suitable for cavalry to charge, and the terrain is wide, but to allow hundreds of thousands of troops to line up, this will make the Clay clan's numerical advantage to the limit.
For Orlando, since Chief Abdul has led his troops to block his way to the west, his only choice is to go up and fight a decisive battle, because the grasslands can provide water for tens of thousands of people to drink. It is limited. Even if Orlando wants to take risks, it is impossible to take a large force to bypass Abdul's barracks. Even if the latter ignores him, Orlando will find enough drinking water.
When the two sides were placed in the camp at a distance of 2o kilometers, the cavalry contact with each other was no longer carried out. Both sides had a tacit understanding of controlling their military activities in a small area, and stopped moving as far as possible. The area controlled by the opponent was provoked, and the prairie suddenly restored its previous calm, but everyone knew that this was just a brief silence before the storm.
Soon, the Androkos couple, who were overdrawn by magic, provided Orlando with information. At the cost of depleting their mana, they detected the Clay military camp about 2o kilometers away through the "magic eyes". There are 40 to 50 thousand soldiers stationed. Although this information is very inaccurate, it is also the best information that the Imperial Expeditionary Army can collect.
The Imperial Expeditionary Army brought 40,000 infantry and 20,000 heavy soldiers this time. In addition to Cassano’s 5ooo popular shooter, only the 5ooo Royal Knights who have been concealed are left, facing the enemy seven. With double the strength of its own forces, Orlando thought over and over again, and finally decided on a back camp plan.
Because the later the Royal Knights appear, the more deadly it will cause a fatal blow to the Clay army, so Orlando decided to use its own barracks as a benchmark to set up the battlefield on the spot, because once the Royal Knights enters a state of combat, Both people and horses will wear armors, and such an obvious mark can be seen at a glance, so we must continue to block the news of the Royal Knights' battle with the support of the camp.
In addition, since all the Clays are cavalry, if the expeditionary army advances in an infantry phalanx, it will inevitably be harassed by the Clay cavalry. Was dragged down, so relying on the camp to lure the opponent to attack is the most correct choice.
Wait until the Clay group comes in, the Imperial Expeditionary Army can first rely on the camp position to defend, use bows and arrows to fight the opponent at attrition, and then let the Royal Knights charge at the critical moment, if it can rush away from the enemy Formation, then the soldiers of the Jonas Legion will also ride on their horses and follow the Holy Knights in Orlando to attack the Clays, and ultimately defeat the Clays' army.
When the entire combat plan was drawn up, the expeditionary army immediately became busy. This time, the 20,000 logistics personnel accompanying the team were all carefully selected soldiers from other armies. They not only had to undertake the construction of defensive camps. The mission is also responsible for staying behind and guarding the expeditionary camp after the Jonas Legion attacks.
As the highest military commander in the imperial capital, General Orlando will naturally consider war from many aspects. In preparing for the main battle, Orlando also decided to assign an important task to Ryan, that is, let Ryan lead the team from Cassano. The popular archer regiment went around overnight and lurked near the Jinghu Lake. When the main decisive battle began the next day, Ryan and the others could take the opportunity to attack the Clay Jinghu camp. Once successful, this would be a great impact on the morale of the Clay main force. The blow is absolutely fatal.
Of course, because the Imperial Expeditionary Army came from a long distance, they are not completely aware of the terrain here. Even if they have the title of God of War among the people in Orlando, they don’t know that there are towering peaks in the Jinghu Camp of the Clay Clan in the north and the south. It's a huge lake that stretches forever. Unless Feng Xing Archer puts his wings in, it is really not an easy task to pass the moat in a short time.
For the commander of this partial division, Ryan, he never expected that on the eve of the decisive battle between the Imperial Expeditionary Army and the main force of the Clay tribe, in his second hometown of Cassano, a huge The conspiracy has been quietly shrouded in the sky.
