Chapter 439
Chapter 433 [Out of the Box] (9)
In order to pounce on the new city as fast as possible, Manninger pulled out almost all the cavalry in his unit and organized it into an army. He had already detached from the large army on the day of departure and rushed to the new city.
This cavalry has about three thousand cavalry, but it is already all cavalry that Manninger can draw. After all, the Odin army was not known as a cavalry. The Odin reindeer cavalry is more inclined to use heavy cavalry from a combat point of view. The reindeer's heavy weight and powerful load bearing ability and short-range sprint ability are Better than average horses. However, after all, this mount is different from horses and cannot be used for large-scale animal husbandry. Therefore, even in the first-class legions in the Odin Empire such as the Red Snow Army, the whole army only maintained thousands of reindeer cavalry. .
During this southward invasion, Manninger had dragged his family out. Thousands of reindeer cavalry of the entire family had joined the army. In Siltan County, some horses seized from Byzantium were added. Together, they were only five. Only six thousand.
But the problem is that after this winter war, Manninger still left some people in his old nest, and there were less than four thousand riders in the army.
Right now, these four thousand riders, under Maninger's strict order, took out the energy of feeding milk, struggling to rush towards the new city day and night!
Manninger's order was simple and clear: within two days, at all costs, he had to rush under the new city! Straight into the city defense!
Although Manninger was furious, but after all, he hadn't completely messed up. He was sure that the number of enemies who had copied his old nest must be small. Thousands of cavalry pounced on it, and maybe they could rely on surprise attacks. Unprepared to hit each other! If you can retake the city in one go, it is naturally best. Even if it is not good, the cavalry arrives quickly and can exert pressure on the enemy in the city, not giving the other party time and opportunity to calmly arrange the city defense!
In Manninger's mind, even if these thousands of cavalry were exhausted, it was far less than the value of the new city!
Under his orders, these thousands of reindeer cavalry, originally used as heavy cavalry, could only catch the ducks on the shelves, set up the posture of the light cavalry, and went to Xixin City for a long distance.
The reindeer mount is not good at long-distance Mercedes-Benz, although in order to save horsepower, these thousands of cavalry have been as light as possible before departure, and replaced the heavy armor they wear with lightweight leather armor, minimizing Loaded and only brought a small amount of rations, but after a day and a night of Mercedes-Benz, whether it is soldiers or mounts, they are all tired.
Fortunately, the mainland is relatively smooth, and Odin warriors have always been hard-working tough men. They galloped all the way and finally did not delay the time prescribed by Manninger's order.
Seeing that at noon the next day, the whole army had marched to a place less than two hundred miles away from the new city. At this speed, it should be able to reach the new city at night!
Since Siltan County is a large county producing grains, in addition to the flat terrain in the territory, there are also many rivers and lakes. In winter, the rivers are naturally frozen.
At this moment, the whole army marched to a river beach, and along the river beach south, the river went around a bend, walked through this curve, and continued along the road, this is the new city.
Thousands of cavalry gathered in Mercedes-Benz, and the scene was naturally very shocking. Thousands of horses spread across the continent, all the way, and snow mud splashed.
The brigade came to the river beach, the leading cavalry leader stopped slowly, and immediately ordered that the army rest here for a moment! Although there are strapped bags, people can eat during the march, but the mount can't stand it. The most important thing is to drink water.
After the army stopped, thousands of cavalry lined up next to the river beach. The cavalry dismounted, taking advantage of this short opportunity to take time to rest, some food, and some put a bag around the reindeer's neck to let the horse eat.
And the cavalry chief naturally dispatched men to the river to break open the ice on the river to get water.
Along the river beach, after breaking through an ice layer, a team of cavalry was ordered to take their mounts to drink water.
The weather was so cold, and it was a day and a night without restful eyes. Even though Odin Hanzi could endure hardships and stand hard work, it was also a bit unbearable. Besides, everyone knew that the new city was lost, and there was tremendous pressure in the heart. This march, one Everyone on the road was gloomy, and they didn't have the spirited look when they went out.
One team after another took turns to drink deer by the river, only to shift to the fourth team, and suddenly they heard the warning whistle of the Odin soldiers in charge in the distance!
The sound came very quickly, and the Odin Cavalry leader immediately changed his face!
On the lower reaches of the river beach, there was a rush of horseshoes, and then a cavalry with a clear Byzantine banner came on sight!
Although the Odins were exhausted, they were still elite, after all, they whistled again and again, and quickly assembled under the command of the leader. Even the cavalry who drank the deer by the river turned over the deer and headed towards the road. The team came!
The Byzantine cavalry in the distance, although it seems that there are many mounts, but it is close, Odin talents carefully, but it is only the number of five or six hundred horses, only one person and three horses, it seems that the team is much larger.
On the road, they suddenly met with enemies. These Odin cavalry were also unambiguous. They took off axe swords and other weapons, and quickly set off.
The cavalry in the distance was naturally a six hundred rider brought out by Xia.
Xia Ya led the cavalry far away. In fact, he had long waited near the river beach. Here is the way for the Odin to return to the new city. After that, he took the cavalry to rest on the lower reaches of the river beach. Arrive, this will immediately take people to mount and kill!
More than six hundred riders rushed on this road, but only when there was a long way to go, they suddenly stopped, and the two cavalry confronted each other so far.
Xia Ya smiled coldly and looked back loudly: "The prey is here, everyone is ready to harvest the head of the Odin people! Kill a pound of meat, a bag of wine!"
This winter, whether it ’s Charya here or Manninger, there are food shortages on both sides, and the reward of a pound of wine and meat has been considered a thick reward. With hundreds of rides south of Charya, every battle must be a victory. Sufficient vigour had accumulated in his heart, and the whole army shouted loudly at the words of Charya.
Xia Ya deliberately raised one hand, and Zema took a few steps forward. He raised his left hand and opened his palm, and Zema gradually left the team.
From a distance, the cavalry leader here in the Odin cavalry saw it.
This is a common gesture among the cavalry between the two countries, and the cavalry who came out with this gesture is often a cavalry who is a messenger or an officer who comes out to speak.
Do hundreds of Byzantine cavalry in this area still have a serious fight with us?
Odin cavalry, although this Byzantine cavalry appears suddenly, but it is not afraid to panic. After all, from the comparison of strength, there are more than 3,000 elites here, but the other side is only five or six hundred ...
Xia Zema stepped forward a few steps, then stopped, and yelled in Odin, "I am the Byzantine General Xia Lei Ming! The Odins on the other side, please call your supreme leader to speak!"
When the two armies fought, the top generals of the two sides shouted at each other. On the one hand, they battled against the other. On the other hand, they also encouraged their own morale, which was normal.
The leader of the Odin cavalry has no doubt, but it is strange: the opponent sent so many soldiers, mostly the patrol sent out by the Byzantine army occupying the new city. According to common sense, when we meet our cavalry brigade, we should immediately turn around and retreat, but How dare you play against us?
This cavalry leader is also one of the best soldiers in the Red Snow Army. Otherwise, Manninger would not have given his thousands of cavalry to an unknown junior.
The Odin sneer sneered boldly, and slowly took a few steps forward, arrogantly shouting, "I am the Warrior of the Red Snow Army Manninger ..."
Poor, this guy had only a few words to say, and he didn't even call out his name.
The opposite Charlie was not interested to continue listening!
A smirk of smile flashed in Tu Yuan's eyes, and suddenly raised his right hand! He had already carried a lance of a rifle in his hand, drew it in his hand, and swung forward suddenly!
Poor Odin Mighty, who was about to sign up for himself in accordance with the convention of warfare, but suddenly saw a black light across, mixed with the squalling wind, and it was here in an instant!
The Mighty Odin is indeed a warrior in the Red Snow Army. Suddenly, he roared, and quickly raised his tomahawk in his hand, and chopped down against the black light that hit him in front of him. At the same time, his body has flashed towards one side ...
It's a pity that with Charya's strength at the moment, he is sneaking in, and where can he avoid it!
I heard a gurgling sound, and the spear pierced directly into the chest of this Odin slasher, pierced him directly, his body flew back from the deer's back, and smashed into his own. In the queue, this shot from Charya was extremely powerful, and the spear not only pierced the Odin general, but also pierced the three cavalry behind him in succession! Finally he nailed an Odin cavalry to the ground! !!
Here the Odin cavalry was frightened and had not responded yet. Chara had already lifted a fire fork across the side and slammed: "Kill !!!"
As soon as he took the lead, he rushed straight up, riding alone, and the hundreds of cavalry behind him also whistled and rushed down! !!
※※※
Charlie first assassinated the opponent's highest general directly in front of the battle. These Odins lost their leader's command, and naturally they had no leader! Seeing that Xia led some people to kill them, even the Odins were a little messy here for a while!
And more shameless is still behind!
Before the six hundred cavalry rushed in, he heard the sound of a whistling sound across the side. The six hundred Byzantine cavalry suddenly cast out all the rifles in their hands!
The six hundred lances, plus these six hundred cavalry are all strengthened fighters. With great strength and horsepower, the six hundred lances suddenly shot down!
Then I heard a scream, and the Oding cavalry turned over! Thousands of riding teams were suddenly stabbed!
When the Odin reacted, Xia had rushed to the front! As soon as he rode in front of him, a flash of red light burst out in his hand!
Crimson murderous burst out, and suddenly a group of red light shrouded the range of about 20 or 30 steps. Char ’s torch flew round, and the blood was sprayed on all sides! Those who were in the crimson murderous range, those Odin cavalry were cut off even with their mounts! !!
Xia Ya has rushed directly into the Odin team, wherever he goes, he is invincible! I saw him flaming up and down, in the red light, a personal head soared into the sky, spraying blood!
The six hundred riders behind him have also been instantly killed, like a sharp knife, and severely plunged into the Odin squad!
Shameless! Shameless! !!
Even a half-way sneak attack! Rush to kill while others are drinking water! I didn't care about Xinyi when I came up, and even killed the enemy general! What made the Odin cavalry most helpless was that the Byzantine cavalry that had been killed in it was actually prepared with two guns!
After that round of shooting, the rifle in his hand was shot out. The Byzantine cavalry immediately took off the spare lance or sabre hanging from the saddle!
Six hundred riders, coupled with Xia Ya, the invincible vanguard, rushed to the battlefield, and after all, the Odins were Mercedes-Benz for a whole day and night, and the horses were exhausted.
Most importantly, in order to travel light, these Odin cavalry have discarded the most used heavy armor in the past! Everyone wears light leather armor. In the case of this cavalry to hedge the short soldiers, it will undoubtedly damage the three-point combat power first!
Charlie took the lead, flesh and blood flew everywhere! No matter what Odin Mighty or Warrior, whoever stands in front of him, no one can take the fire fork in his hand! The opposing cavalry has directly entered the battle! Even though these Odin cavalry are large in number and elite, the cavalry rushed up, but by the momentum of the charge, they were spinning around in turmoil ... this time, without the command of the commander, fight for each other!
After fighting for such a random and cowardly fight for a while, the Odin finally couldn't stand it!
For a moment!
However, it was just a moment of effort. I didn't know who came first. The Odin cavalry reluctantly resisted, and the Byzantine cavalry rushed the queue into a big array, which was cut into pieces!
Charlie killed the past in one fell swoop, and the fork in her hand did not know how many Odins' lives were lost. She just felt the heat in her heart. When the murderous flew into the sky, she suddenly felt empty!
He widened his eyes, but found that he had killed the Odin array, a standard cut through, and killed from the Odin array!
With a smile, Xia Haha sprinted the horse two steps away, and then turned the horse's head. Behind him, his cavalry rushed out with him!
This cut-through tactic is a textbook standard! Xia Ya laughed, and another scream. Hundreds of cavalry rallied beside him quickly, and then could not breathe. With Xia Ya holding the fire fork, he re-entered the Odins again!
The ordinating Odin lost the general. Although some officers desperately ordered and shouted, but within a short time, the entire team had not yet had time, and the powerful Byzantines of the other party turned around and killed them!
This time, the Odin cavalry finally couldn't carry it!
...
…………
Defeat!
A rout that made the Odins tremble!
Amazing scene appeared on the plain! Thousands of Odin reindeer cavalry brigades were rushed across the mountains, but there were only hundreds of Byzantine troops behind them who were hunting and killing!
The most pitiful is that the reindeer of Odin's horses have been running long distances for one day and one night. They have run out of energy, and even if they run, they can't run each other's horses at this moment! I can't see how many Odin cavalrymen were caught up by the Byzantines behind them. Those Byzantine cavalrymen fell off the horse with one blade, then looked at it without a glance, and continued to chase the horse forward!
In this pursuit, more than a hundred miles ran!
I do n’t know how many Odins ran along the way. His reindeer could n’t support it, and finally fell on the ground with four hoofs and was caught by the Byzantine cavalry.
After more than a hundred miles of hunting, Odin's cavalry ranks became thinner and thinner!
Finally, after the Byzantine cavalry finally stopped chasing, they stopped far off, showed off and drank, and after the team retreated, these Odin cavalry ran wildly again, and then reluctantly stopped the troops.
This rectification has made these arrogant Odin soldiers once so proud that they can't even cry!
More than three thousand cavalrymen set off, but after the whole team, there were only less than eight hundred! And most of them are injured! !!
Xia Ya gathered the cavalry and returned, and dispersed several teams along the way to chase down those who lost the Odin defeated soldiers. It took another two hours to send out the clear cavalry.
Each of the cavalry who came back was murderous and full of vitality, and everyone's heads were hung up!
A little liquidation, this battle killed at least more than a thousand Odin cavalry, and there were hundreds of those who were killed and killed during the pursuit! In general, destroying the enemy is about two thousand!
It is brilliant to fight five or six times the enemy cavalry with six hundred horses!
And here in Xia Ya, there were more than 20 war dead, slightly injured more than 100, and severely injured 14 people.
"Take off the heads of these Odins, and pile them together in the middle of the road!"
Xia Ya put away her fork, exhaled a long breath, and sneered, "When the Manninger army came over, they just saw these people's heads! Call him horrified!"
A cavalry next to him asked: "My lord! This battle is a great kill! What are we going to do next? Is it the main force of the Odins?"
Xia Haha smiled. It seemed that all of these cavalrymen were inspired by successive victories, and after hundreds of rides, they rushed to the main team of the Odins.
But the people below were hot-headed, but Charya couldn't.
He shook his head and laughed: "No, we still have an important task to do ... We are going to destroy the Red Snow Army. It ’s not enough to be so good! We passed by along the way south, and I already left one Ambush! Let's pick up the reinforcements and gather under the new city! Send Manninger back to his hometown in the first battle, ha ha ha ha! "
※※※
The Odin's vanguard cavalry defeated all the way and headed north along the road towards Manninger's main force.
Manninger was worried here.
Thousands of cavalry led by Shalba behind them kept harassing along the way, each time they whistled, and then rushed away for a while. Manninger's back team continued to attack early and sustained considerable damage.
Shalpa does seem to have come through the experience. Every battle comes and goes like a wind, and it is never greedy! On several occasions when the Odin team set up their battle line, he immediately took people away without hesitation!
With Shalpa's constant harassment attacks in the back, Manninger's march marched at a speed that was more than halved. Manninger could only do his utmost to rectify the army's back team, and he was on guard, but this way, the speed of the march worried Manninger. In such a march, he would have to walk to the new city without knowing how much time it would take!
After walking for a day and a night like this, Shalpa led someone to charge 13 times! Although every time it is just to kill the Odin people from tens to hundreds, it can't stand such slow torment!
The Odin's flames were lost here, and there was no way to take the other side, and morale inevitably fell.
It wasn't until the next night that the Sherpa's cavalry finally retreated, and the cavalry was exhausted when they wanted to continue the attack. Shalpa took people back a little bit and integrated the soldiers and horses.
Without this harassing enemy army, Manninger breathed a little sigh of relief before ordering the army to speed up, but at night, I got bad news!
The vanguard of the vanguard cavalry finally escaped to the main force!
Thousands of cavalry were brave when they set off. When they returned, they were less than eight hundred riders. Everyone was covered with blood, embarrassed, mostly wounded, with a face full of anger and depression.
The news of the eight hundred riders' defeat came to the whole army at once!
Manninger was on the march, and when he got the news in the carriage, he rushed out immediately, seeing that the appearance of the 800 riding wolf howling came over, Manninger was shaking at the time!
When these cavalrymen returned, naturally, a leader officer came to report to Manninger, but these defeated cavalry leaders came to Manninger, and only one half of one hundred and fifteen said only to find the face of the head coach patriarch. wrong……
"puff!!!"
Suddenly, Manninger opened his mouth and spit out blood from Yang Tian. He had only slightly eased his face that day and suddenly turned pale again!
When he was supporting him from side to side, the Odin hero had been confined with his eyes and passed out.
The coach vomited and was unconscious, and the forward team stopped immediately.
Can only wait in place on the road.
Manninger's coma this time was much longer than the last time, and he was in a coma for a full night, waking up at noon the next day.
When he woke up, he was lying in a carriage. The first reaction was that there was no bump under the horse! Apparently the entire army has stopped moving forward!
Manninger was furious, and when he turned over, he got up, and when he was about to anger, he felt a severe pain in his heart, short of breath!
He gritted his teeth and gasped for a few moments before he heard it and opened the carriage door.
I heard the coach woke up, and soon the generals and leaders in the army gathered. Manninger was so upset that his coma didn't matter, but the army stopped! Do n’t you know these idiots, the army goes back one night late, and the danger is one more point! !!
But looking at these worried men around him, he couldn't lift his anger.
After all, these subordinates were loyal to themselves, seeing that they were bleeding from the coma, and ordered the army to stop moving forward. I'm afraid that my body can't stand the bumps all the way.
Manninger's anger didn't come out, but his heart was cold!
The news of vanguard cavalry's defeat even shocked him even more than he learned that his son Morka had been killed!
Thousands of cavalry!
Those are literally thousands of elite cavalry! !!
Odin's reindeer cavalry, if thousands of horses are assembled, night battle is enough to defeat a Byzantine infantry regiment! !!
Even when the 7th Corps of the Byzantine Empire was wiped out, they relied on the concentration of thousands of cavalry to charge the array, and the array of the 7th Corps was defeated by these thousands of horses, and then the infantry concealed them and achieved a great victory!
But these thousands of rides were actually crushed!
And it's still in the field, real field battle! !! !! Head to head battle! !! !!
how can that be! How does this get Manninger to receive? !!
After listening to the defeated cavalry, the opponents were only a few hundred riders, but they were amazingly powerful, and their opponents were brave and insidious ...
Hundreds of rides can crush my thousands of elite reindeer cavalry? !! What brave and unparalleled generals are in the Byzantine army! !! Even Rhoderian cavalry, even Rhoderian cavalry led by Adrik himself, it is absolutely impossible to eat his own thousands with hundreds of rides! !!
In Manninger's mind, it was ridiculous to the extreme! !!
"Go ahead, keep going to the new town."
Facing the generals' concerns and silence, Manninger just coldly issued such a short order.
"... Patriarch!"
One of his subordinates couldn't help but speak, but Manninger's eyes stared fiercely, and he immediately closed the mouth.
"I know you're worried about my health, but the army plan can't be changed! I'm not dead yet! This bumpy, I can still carry it!" Manninger gritted his teeth: "But if we don't go to the new city, we can still go where?!"
After being silent for a while, some people couldn't help but whispered, "There are other towns nearby www.wuxiaspot.com Let's find a place to rectify the soldiers and horses first, and let the tribal children's soldiers trim a little ..."
"Cowardly!" Manninger reprimanded coldly, and he took a breath and slowly said, "Our nest was copied! The cavalry we sent back to the division broke down! At this time, some of you may think that the return The new city is too dangerous! But let me tell you! Now we have to go back! What are we relying on since the Odin warriors went south? It is the courage and fierceness of our tribal warriors! It is this courage! But now, the old nest was taken away, and the cavalry was defeated! News came one by one. Our tens of thousands of troops did not even dare to return. We have to go elsewhere to hide from the limelight ... Do you not want to think about this? Once the order is sent to the army, what will the soldiers in the army think about? They will be really afraid of these Byzantines from now on! Once we lose Wuyong, what are we Odins left for !? "

(In the next chapter, it ’s Charya Sanqi Manninger, hehe ... Manninger has vomited blood twice, and the third time, he should be ascended to heaven ...
Tomorrow's update will be more exciting haha)
