Three days have passed since the Central Army received the news from Ayr City. During these three days, they advanced non-stop, meeting up with the five thousand knights on the way, and rushed towards Ayr City to help.
They knew it was a trap, but they had to jump.
This is the chain reaction caused by strategic mistakes. Originally, the task of the Central Army was just to bite the expeditionary force, and the task of the decisive battle was to hand over to the 150,000 elite forces, but now they have to bite the bullet and fight the expeditionary force.
Head-to-head confrontation made Ace Kahn, the commander of the Central Army, very distressed.
Unfavorable situations can only be solved by yourself.
Ace Kahn found the commander of the Five Thousand Knights, Andre Muller.
"General Andre, what do you think of this battle?" Ace said, riding on his horse, and Andre walking side by side.
"Sir, it's difficult. At least we don't have much chance of winning now!" Andri replied in a low tone.
Sighing, Ace didn't know the disadvantages of the current Central Army. It's just that they couldn't just pounce on the trap set by the expeditionary force. At least, they had to consider how to do it as much as possible without losing Aier City.
Undefeated!
Yes, Ace knew the gap between himself and his opponent. The glorious Central Army was no longer the all-powerful Central Army back then. Most of them were on the battlefield for the first time, and they were no different from ordinary recruits. And since
The imperial power fell, and the huge expenditures of the Central Army also made the emperor
The room is getting tighter and tighter, so they have to reduce a lot of training expenses, and the number of war horses has been reduced from 30,000 before to 10,000 now! Many war horses have passed their best period, and the combat effectiveness of the Central Army is actually not as good as the outside world imagines.
Awesome. This is exactly what Ace is worried about.
Facing the wolf-like expeditionary force, he had no confidence that he could defeat them on an equal footing!
As a cavalryman, Ace's cowardice can be said to be a shame, but it is also an indisputable fact!
On the other hand, the knights formed by the Senate seem to be full of confidence. For these knight nobles, any battle is glorious. Moreover, the evil expeditionary force is wantonly attacking their empire, so these knights with knightly virtues
For the knights who are aiming for the goal, they flaunt themselves as the great savior!
After Ace knew their thoughts, the corners of his eyes kept twitching. To be honest, he admired the virtues of knights. Because it represents a person's highest moral character, but the question is, how many of these knights really use this as their criterion?
What about?
What he says is extravagant, but on weekdays he goes in the opposite direction and does things like bullying men and dominating women, which is simply disgusting and disgusting!
Fortunately, their commander, Andre, was from a well-known family and had adhered to the virtues of chivalry for generations, which allowed Ace to find some comfort.
But even Andre himself couldn't believe how much these knights who came for honor could accomplish in battle.
The two of them rode together towards the dark front.
The distance between the Central Army and the Expeditionary Army, or in other words, Aier City, is getting closer and closer. Their movements are also quickly communicated to the Expeditionary Army through the secret posts set up in Dragon City along the way.
The main force led by Zhao Yun did not reach Aier City at all!
From beginning to end, there were only Ma Chao's two thousand cavalry! But the panicked Aier City sent an emergency report to the empire saying that the expeditionary force had surrounded Aier City!
From strategy to tactics to intelligence, the Senate was led by the expeditionary force. Now the next victims are the pride of the Alton Empire, the Central Army and the Imperial Knights.
Yes, these five thousand knights were canonized by the emperor as the Imperial Knights. What’s funny is that they didn’t include the word “royal”. It seems that the Senate was not willing to expand the authority of the royal family and strongly opposed it.
Now, the two prides of the Alton Empire are walking step by step into the battlefield arranged by Zhao Yun. Ayre City is not the real battle location!
What is the main force of the expeditionary force doing at this time?
They are working hard to make a weapon, a wooden spear!
Yes, this simple weapon is undoubtedly the most convenient and direct thing to deal with cavalry, especially the light cavalry Central Army that likes to charge.
As long as the 30,000 vanguard troops form a spear formation, the charge of the light cavalry is simply a way to die! Even the fully armored Yanyun cavalry will not directly attack a solid spear formation. For the cavalry, this is simply asking for death!
Of course, it does not mean that the cavalry is afraid of the spear formation. If the cavalry relies on its strong mobility to make detours from several directions, the clumsy and slow speed of the spear formation is its biggest weakness! As long as the opportunity is found correctly, it is quite simple for the cavalry to break through the spear formation.
of.
But if you charge directly head-on, you are simply seeking death.
In the military academies of Longcheng, it can be said that cavalry tactics are studied to the extreme. Every cavalry general must be familiar with the various uses of cavalry, including the use of heavy cavalry to break formations, the use of light cavalry to harass and attack, and also the use of light cavalry to harass and attack.
When should you use which method? These are all things you must master!
Zhou Yunfei quoted Yue Fei's words: Formation and then fighting, the common art of war and the wonderful use of it all depend on one mind!
For the leading generals of Longcheng, this sentence is the best expression. Take the First Army as an example, fight after formation, the art of war is the same. This is what every general should keep in mind. And the mobility of the Second Army
An extremely powerful cavalry unit must remember the secret of its use. The key lies in the word "wonderful"!
As the saying goes, war is unpredictable. Different locations and times require different tactics.
The Second Army, this unit with high hopes, Zhao Yun's use of cavalry tactics can be said to be in-depth. Just like before, he blitzed Iden, defeated Lis with a clever plan, and finally seized the moment to defeat Julio's troops. It was very
Good performance.
Now, facing the rigid tactics of the Central Army, Zhao Yun had already regarded them as dead men. Zhao Yun had already arranged a grand farewell ceremony for this world-famous cavalry duel.
About fifty kilometers away from Ayre City, there is a rather special terrain.
This is the confluence of the largest rivers south of Alton. Two wide rivers divide this area into three parts.
If you want to cross these two rivers, you can only pass by the only Alton Bridge. When the Empire Bridge was built, it took the whole country of Alton three years to complete it, and it was all made of stone.
!
Called the pride of mankind by Alton and Ross Continent!
The location chosen by Zhao Yun is exactly here, because the bridge can only pass four people at a time, and it will take at least five hours for fifteen thousand people to pass here!
The vanguard army is nervously making spears. These weapons will be the biggest weapon to intercept the central army!
After receiving the movement from the intelligence, Zhao Yun's eyes turned cold, it was almost time!
The order was quickly passed on, and the entire expeditionary force began to move towards the pre-set battlefield. At this time, the Central Army was also running towards the same goal. The two of them were destined to have a bloody battle at the Imperial Bridge!
The winner seizes the entire battle point!
Byron Empire, Alter looked at Halford leisurely standing in front of him, his face flushed.
"Hahahaha!" Art couldn't help it and laughed loudly.
Halford's face turned even redder. What on earth could have made him so embarrassed?
The reason is very simple. The previous emperor had just settled Halford's marriage.
Alter had summoned the old marshal Derek before and told him about Halford's marriage. Of course Derek would not object, or he, the old marshal, had been waiting for this day for a long time. But he didn't expect that it would not be Halford in the end.
Fu Fu opened his mouth, but it was the Emperor of the Empire!
Derek returned home with a smile and a sense of wonder.
His wife saw that her husband was a little distracted, so she asked. She knew that the emperor had summoned Derek, but Derek, who had already retired, was summoned by the emperor this time. Will he go to war again? It was not easy for her husband to leave.
On the battlefield, she was very reluctant for Derek to come out again. But now it seemed that the possibility was very high, so she asked cautiously, fearing that she would get her husband's approval.
Fortunately, after Derek told the story, his wife Anweina was finally relieved, and then she was shocked by the news. But immediately, Mrs. Anwena happily went to find her daughter Liya.
.
Derek shook his head in a funny way. He was in favor of this marriage. Although the emperor's behavior was a bit strange, he no longer needed to care about these things as an old man who had lowered his position. His daughter's happiness was what he valued most!
After Liya learned about it, she shyly hid in the room and refused to come out. Anweina and Derek, who came later, looked at each other and smiled.
After the marriage was confirmed, Halford followed the instructions mechanically under the arrangement of Emperor Alt.
Knowing that Derek had just brought Liya to the palace for an audience, Halford immediately blushed and was at a loss when he saw Liya. Liya glanced at Halford secretly and lowered her head shyly.
Alt looked at the two of them with a smile, feeling very satisfied in his heart. Although he had three sons and four daughters, he was born in the royal family, which meant that they could not be as full of family affection as ordinary families.
The older this person gets, the more he pays attention to these things, and Alt is no exception. Although he is the head of a country and the emperor of an empire, he is also an old man. He knows the secret actions of today's princes, but the more he behaves like this, his
My heart longs for that kind of warmth that I have never had before.
Looking at the dumbfounded Halford, Art felt this emotion that he had never experienced before, and was very satisfied. At least, at this moment, Art felt that emotion.
Derek's heart suddenly tightened when he saw the emperor's expression. He seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't show it. He couldn't believe that thought, at least there was no evidence to prove it, so Derek had to bury the thought in his mind.
heart.
When Derek left the hall with his daughter Liya, Halford was still blushing blankly, recalling the affection Liya had just peeked at him, and a smile naturally appeared on his lips.
