The two armies seemed to be fighting with the determination to die, but in fact, in the battle of more than half an hour, the number of people killed was far less than half of the battle.
There is no way, can you expect a soldier who has lost his strength to kill another soldier who has lost his strength?[.]
Just as Dong Qing continued to wave the sword helplessly, he heard a sound from behind.
The ground is shaking, and those familiar with it can tell at a glance that this is the movement of the cavalry!
Behind, cavalry!
Dong Qing instantly knew who this cavalry belonged to.
Sure enough, just as he guessed, the people coming were the more than 800 direct cavalrymen led by Yu Feng!
After receiving Xu Sheng's order, Yu Feng led the direct cavalry battalion to attack at full speed. On the road, they overtook the Second Division of the First Army, which was also on the road. However, they did not stop and continued to pursue.
After half a day, they finally saw the first division in battle!
Without any time to think, Yu Feng immediately issued the charge order.
The arrival of the cavalry completely crushed the last resistance of the Royal Legion. Facing these weak enemies, Yu Feng and his cavalry battalion were harvesting like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Richard sighed, knowing that he had failed.
He ordered the troops to lay down their weapons and surrender. Stop making fearless resistance.
The battle ended quickly, and the remaining Royal Legion captured more than 7,000 people. When the first division of the First Army set out, it had a full strength of 5,300 people. Now, there are only less than 2,000 left.
It can be said that in the entire battle from yesterday to now, the First Army and the First Division have been fighting at a ratio of one to five. And after the arrival of eight hundred cavalry support, they defeated the Royal Legion in one go!
However, now is not the time to enjoy the joy of victory. Dong Qing knows that their mission has just begun.
After breaking through the defense line deployed by the Royal Legion, they will face the army surrounding the 1st Cavalry Division!
At this moment, the first division with less than half the establishment was exhausted. The whole day and night of fighting and chasing made them tired and hungry. Dong Qing could only bite the bullet and give the order to set off, because they could not stop.
Leaving some soldiers to guard the captured Royal Legion and waiting for the Second Division to follow, Dong Qing led the two thousand soldiers and set off again.
The upward thrust of the first army did not cause any damage to the entire encirclement and ambush circle.
As early as yesterday, the troops responsible for encircling the 1st Cavalry Division were already in place.
To the east is the army of unknown origin controlled by the Dark Brotherhood.
This unit is very strange. Their weapons and equipment are different from those of Byvost. But if you want to say which country's style it is, it's hard to say. But one thing is for sure, that is, this unit is definitely not
That kind of second-rate unit!
A clue can be seen from the soldiers' faces.
That sophisticated aura proves that they are definitely not new recruits, but veterans who have seen blood!
In the eldest prince's defense area, there is also the Canterlot family's regular troops. This troop is the most valuable troop of the Canterlot family. This time they are actually willing to use it as a forward, which shows the Canterlot family's fear of Longcheng.
How big it is.
Zhou Yunfei took advantage of the fact that the empire was severely weakened by the orcs in the winter of the previous year, and took over five fortress groups in the north. You must know that these places were previously controlled by the Canterlot family, which was equivalent to cutting off the Canterlot family.
One knife!
But at that time, the entire empire, including the Canterlot family, was no longer able to maintain the huge military strength in the north. When they were reluctant to sacrifice these people, Longcheng filled the gap with its own money, so the eldest prince sent the five northern troops to the north.
This extremely critical area of the fortress was handed over to Zhou Yunfei.
Subsequently, the long-coveted Far North Fortress was captured by Zhou Yunfei. This once again frustrated the expansion of the northern clan and the Canterlot family, which was also an emerging force in the empire. And more importantly, after Dragon City captured the Far North Fortress, Canterlot
The Luo family's inherent family sphere of influence is immediately adjacent to Dragon City!
This sense of crisis made Uhtred Cantelo, the head of the Cantero family, almost turn gray with worry! Because Longcheng adheres to the principle of neutrality and non-interference in this civil war, the eldest prince will never easily fight with Zhou Yunfei.
But in this way, the Canterlot family has to face the dilemma of being consumed by itself while the other party expands. This is undoubtedly very depressing for Canterlot, who wants to become as powerful as the Claire family.
This time, the Canterlot family finally found an opportunity, an opportunity to solve their competitors.
Therefore, Uhtred did not hesitate to sacrifice the elite troops hidden in the family, just like taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely eliminate the threat of Zhou Yunfei and Longcheng!
This force has 50,000 people, all of whom are veterans from the Far North border defense!
The Canterlot family sends some young people to the Far North Fortress every year, and after being eliminated through blood and fire, they gradually gather together this powerful army!
This army is the pride of the family and what Uhtred relies on most.
Even after the eldest prince learned about such a force, he tried every means to get them to come, but Uhtred kept refusing.
Now, such a force appears in the encirclement. Their opponent is the first cavalry in the mainland, the First Cavalry Division of the Dragon City Royal Army!
Ma Chao led a cavalry team of 10,000 people to break away from the main force and advance forward to conduct reconnaissance.
Zhao Yun's uneasiness made Ma Chao cautious, because he absolutely believed Zhao Yun's guess. The last time such a situation occurred, it was the most critical time of the Far North Battle!
If Zhao Yun hadn't suddenly ordered the troops to speed up and sent Ma Chao with the vanguard to rush for reinforcements, the outcome of the Far North Battle would have been hard to say.
After that time, Ma Chao's admiration for Zhao Yun became even stronger. Ma Chao was originally like Zhao Yun's younger brother, but Zhao Yun's constant advice and care made Ma Chao regard Zhao Yun as his biological brother.
Ma Chao also followed Zhou Yunfei's request and studied with Zhao Yun all the time.
The impulsive person he used to be has gradually begun to change. Perhaps, in the near future, Zhou Yunfei will gain another cavalry marshal.
Ma Chao led 10,000 cavalry and headed northwest. They did not notice anything along the way. However, Ma Chao believed in Zhao Yun's judgment, so he ordered the team to slow down and maintain a constant speed to save horsepower to deal with unexpected situations.
In front of them was the elite of the Canterlot family known as the Northwest Army.
"Enemy attack!" the cavalry in front of the attack suddenly shouted loudly.
Ma Chao's nerves tensed up instantly. He raised his eyes and saw that the sky was instantly filled with rain of arrows!
Oops!
Fell into a trap!
This was Ma Chao's first thought. Before he could think about it, Ma Chao, like other cavalrymen, hurriedly avoided the rain of arrows.
Compared with infantry, cavalry is more afraid of arrow attacks, because even cavalry like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of the 1st Cavalry Division cannot truly defend against arrow attacks perfectly.
The first wave of arrows caused a lot of casualties to Ma Chao's team. This was the first time the First Cavalry Division had suffered such a situation since its founding.
Indeed, in the past, relying on super mobility, weak enemies were often defeated in a single sprint, and there was no real battle at all.
After the first wave of arrows, Ma Chao hurriedly commanded his troops to adjust their positions. At the same time, he also discovered that there was no news about the cavalry he sent out to investigate. Now, Ma Chao knew that the other party must have laid a trap, and he just walked into it.
into this trap!
Ma Chao immediately issued an order and sent three people to explore in the direction they came from. Only ten seconds after the first wave of arrows, the second wave of arrows formed a large black cloud in the sky.
Ma Chao looked ahead coldly. If his prediction was correct, the opponent was probably planning to eat his 10,000 cavalry first, so there must be enemies behind them.
"If you want to take my life, Jin Ma Chao, you have to see if you have the qualifications!"
Now that the opponent has issued a challenge, Ma Chao will never back down!
"Brothers! Brothers!" Ma Chao shouted loudly as he gathered his team that had just escaped the second wave of arrows.
"To die in battle and to be shrouded in horse leather is the highest honor for a soldier! Today! I will stop my reputation as a Jin Ma Chao! Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will use my iron cavalry to level them all!"
"1st Cavalry Division! Charge!"
Ma Chao's words echoed in the sky above this land. He aroused the blood of all the cavalry, and with a charge, these tiger and leopard cavalry smiled and speeded up their beloved cavalry!
Seeing the cavalry slowly gathering together and increasing in speed, Urucciola Cantelo, the commander of the Cantero family's unit and the Northern Army, was trembling in his heart. This young general, because of his outstanding performance
His commanding talent stood out among the younger generation of Canterlot, and he finally got the opportunity to lead this family army.
The plan to ambush Ma Chao this time was also a temporary decision made by him. According to the theory, the combat mission of his northern army was just to lure the enemy. By leading the 1st Cavalry Division to the mysterious army behind them, their mission was over.
But after learning that Ma Chao's few cavalry had rushed in, he made up his mind to eat this cavalry first.
For this reason, he could choose to ambush here, and after strangling the sudden cavalry, he could use bows and arrows as a sneak attack to successfully attack the cavalry.
However, he did not expect that the opponent would immediately choose to charge head-on after the second wave of arrows!
Generally speaking, when they don't know the true strength of the enemy, a rational person will choose to avoid the edge temporarily. Especially since the mobility of cavalry far exceeds that of infantry, most people will definitely choose to retreat temporarily! In this way, Ulquiorra will
He could implement his plan because he put all the frontal infantry forces on the two wings. After Ma Chao and the others stepped into the encirclement, the infantry blocked the back road. Once Ma Chao and the others chose to retreat temporarily, they would just meet the main force of the Northern Army.
force!
There were only archers on the front! Urquiorra was confused. The opponent actually chose to charge frontally without knowing the truth! This time, he hit Urquiorra's weak spot!
