Power and Empire Chapter 52: Blood Rain (1)
The sound of gurgling water in the mountain stream makes the forest more peaceful
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the tips of the woods, dragging a long tail
Both homing birds and foraging beasts are far away from this peaceful valley in the past
Because the empty canyons of the past are now full of hustle and bustle of people and horses, this is the temporary place chosen by the fat man
The light cavalry unloaded the heavy stirrups from the horses, allowing the horses to lower their heads to drink the flowing stream easily, and take out all kinds of weapons and equipment from the weapon slots in the hips of the horses, carefully. Put it on the ground,
Wipe the bright blade lightly with a cotton cloth moistened with stream water, and the cautious look on his face is like admiring his most beloved woman,
"A cavalry who doesn't care about his weapons and horses is not a good cavalry"
These are the words that Chief Trainer Caesar Sauron said the most when training this new light cavalry
The commander of the legion, Marquis Dustin, who came to review later, provided a good supplement to this sentence
"Soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers. People who don’t care about weapons are not even soldiers! If you want to build a great martial artist, you can’t talk about it without a handy weapon!"
During the day, a scout was besieged and killed by the peasants under the command of the Zhivadin nobles. It spread throughout the light cavalry regiment. Although the first detachment rushed to kill the peasants and soldiers, the noble was like Dragged back behind the horse like a dead dog,
But this still can’t wash away the shame in the hearts of the proud hussars. From the captains who came back, the hussars knew something more shocking.
"The city of Riwading is rebelling! The commander of the legion is about to attack Riwading city tonight to suppress the insurgents. The Hussars will become the first Samorian army to enter Riwading and cut it down with a sword in his hand. The head of the rebel"
This makes all the hussars ecstatic
Just after dinner, the hussars began to prepare for the night’s action,
Some squatting on the edge of the stream carefully polished their thick-backed saber with a whetstone, and some used the stream to clean the dirt of the horse, carefully check their weapons, and then put them into the weapon slot of the horse one by one. ,
All this is to have the best state at night
There is an unspeakable depression flowing in the air in the canyon, and the originally clear sky is covered with black clouds
This is a sign of the coming heavy rain
The light cavalry are all required to untie the bells of the horses and fix all the equipment that may make noises
The 50 most elite cavalry guards responsible for the first wave of sneak attacks demanded that the four hoofs of the war horses be covered with thick cotton, and all the equipment that might affect the speed of the war horse was taken down
one man, one horse, one knife, and even the armor from his body was taken off, which are all the belongings of the 50 cavalry guards
Speed became the key to this night attack
A series of murderous temporary military orders are read from the parchment in the hands of the team leader
the loud noiser, kill
talker without permission, kill
expose the whereabouts, kill
. . . . . .
Fourteen murderous military orders are the night raid military regulations issued by Fatty just now.
The military orders containing killing intent stimulate everyone's nerves
tonight
Your own saber will wave a deadly cold light on the insurgent’s head, and all enemies will tremble in front of you
All the hussars listened to the military regulations with excitement, and the blood boiled in their bodies
Samoru just issued the "Wartime Decree"
The rewards for combat exploits flashed in the minds of the light cavalry
Kill a person and reward a silver luke!
Kill ten people, reward a golden Luke, and become the captain!
Kill 30 people and be promoted to guard cavalry. You can choose a piece of land in your own village that does not have to pay taxes, and grant senior warrior status.
Glory, money, land, the chance to be promoted to the cavalry guards, the chance to marry the most beautiful woman in the village, the chance to get rid of the identity of a farmer forever. . . . . .
These previously out-of-reach hopes suddenly flooded in front of the light cavalry who had just been training for a month
"My dear Lisa, just tonight, I will use you to become a more prestigious person in the village than the new master of Sack"
Hussar Kairis carefully wiped his beloved back sword for the third time, muttering in excitement in his heart,
"A man is famous for his blood bathing!"
There are many hussars with such dreams
The sky is gradually dimming, and the last arc of the setting sun sinks into the distant sky,
The hearts of all the light cavalry began to agitate
The fat man leaned against a branch of a tree with a crooked neck, with a dead grass root in his mouth. At the root of the tree lies a laid-back Caesar Sauron,
Fatty is waiting for Crolithat’s Eighth Infantry Regiment,
2000 light cavalry can easily crush 1500 light infantry on the plain,
But in urban street fighting, 1,500 light infantry relying on defense can easily block the charge of more than 3,000 cavalry.
The city's sturdy buildings, well-connected layout
is destined to be the world of infantry
Using expensive cavalry to fight infantry in urban street battles, the fat guy can't do such a stupid thing at a loss
A sudden violent mountain wind whizzed past the fat man,
The blowing tree branches swing up and down, but the fat man is as soft as a small branch, and his fat body miraculously did not slip off the small tree trunk.
Caesar Sauron who was resting below this strange sight was stunned. I didn’t expect that the silly fat man in his mind had such a magical side
A drop of water fell from a high altitude on the fat man’s nose, breaking his body in front of the fat man’s eyes
There is a dull thunder in the sky
The fat man looked at the almost black sky on his head, jumped from the crooked neck tree branch, spit the dry grass in his mouth on the ground, and smiled at Caesar Sauron triumphantly
"Hey, look, I'm right, God is all on our side, it will rain if there is wind, and there will be a heavy rain soon!"
Caesar Sauron took a look at the excited fat man, and was about to get up to argue with the fat man
"Boom!" There was thunder in the sky, and a sharp electric light struck the sky
A figure entered the canyon under the leadership of the cavalry guards. It was a herald sent to contact the Eighth Infantry Regiment of Crolithat at noon
The messenger came in front of the fat man, put his right hand flat on his chest and saluted, and respectfully reported
"Legion commander, the 8th Infantry Regiment of Colonel Crolitsat has reached the Sakil Forest ten miles away from Zivadin as required, and will immediately lead the army when he sees the lord’s signal. Enter Riwading City!"
"Good, good, good, a night of black wind and high murder!"
The fat man laughed arrogantly when he heard the messenger’s words, and said three good words in excitement, then turned to face the guard road next to him
"Immediately send an order for the assembly of the entire army! The first wave of assault troops are set off!"
"Woo, woo"
The sound of low and long assembly bugles ignited the fire of battle in the hearts of all the light cavalry
The light cavalry Kairis was excited to insert his beloved "Lisa" into the scabbard, and the sky fell down with heavy rain~IndoMTL.com~ Large raindrops slapped Kairis on the face, an unquenchable passion Burning in Kerrys’s chest
"Tonight, I will be a real cavalry!"
The sudden storm not only made the sky darker, but the defenseless defenders of the Riwading Wall were drenched in the rain.
hid in the arrow tower or the passageway inside the city wall to avoid the rain. Large raindrops hit the rocks of the city wall, causing patches of white spray to appear.
The dense raindrops are like the beating drums, all the guards left the battlements to avoid the rain,
Naturally, no one will notice the strange noise mixed with the dense raindrops. A group of dark shadows in the distance pounce on Rivadin like a pack of hungry wolves
Because Rivadin is a characteristic of a commercial city, merchants often carry goods at night, so the city gates are not closed at night as usual, only a dozen ordinary guards wearing leather armor are arranged to guard
The black shadow in the rain is hiding in the shadow of the outer city wall and moving towards the north gate of Jivadin at high speed. This is the route that the fat man had sent people to explore for a long time. The blind corner of the city gate, moving in the shadow of the city wall, no one can find this cavalry that suddenly appeared
Leading Guards Cavalry Captain Sa Heen saw that the corner was the target of this raid, and he could even see from an oblique angle the two city guards nestling in the city road, chatting listlessly, and Sa Heen was excited. His thick-backed saber pointed at the passage of the city gate, turned his head and shouted at the guard cavalry behind him,
"Assault with all strength, we must seize the city gate!"
"唰" a bright light flashed, and there was a uniform sound of knives behind him, "enemy...
Before the guards of the two city gates had time to call out the alarm, they were chopped and turned on the ground by the war knife drawn by the light cavalry.
