Chapter 384: Food Crisis

The Sunset Cavalry, which drove straight in, was like a reproduction of what the Sunset Cavalry did in the Warsaw Alliance, staining all the soil in the territory of the United Kingdom of Helgen with a layer of blood red, and compared to the Warsaw Alliance, this time because the number of cavalry on the Sunset side was five times that of the Warsaw Alliance, although it did not last long, the result was definitely more ruthless than the Warsaw one.

However, the United Kingdom of Helgen is not a weak Warsaw Alliance after all, but an imperial power comparable to the Dick Empire behind the original Warsaw Alliance, and the heritage of the United Kingdom of Helgen and the soldiers it has are not only those guarding the defense line that has been broken through by the Sunset Cavalry, under the leadership of a reindeer cavalry regiment that is extremely powerful and well-equipped as a vampire knight, More than 50,000 reindeer cavalry, improvised by the United Kingdom of Helgen, and militia units from various regions were killed from within the country.

Soon, the main force of the Sunset Cavalry confronted the more than 60,000 reindeer cavalry, and the result was that the Sunset Cavalry army suffered a slight defeat and had to begin to retreat: after all, the Helgen people rode the Northland reindeer that could frighten the horses like camels, and the javelins they threw were sharp weapons that could pierce the armor of the heavy cavalry, and the Sunset Cavalry was composed of two Sunset 1st, 9th, and 10th and two Cuman hussar regiments.

The mounts mounted in this kind are all war horses, and the soldiers are not familiar with the surrounding terrain, and the power of the heavy cavalry charge is not necessarily stronger than that of the reindeer cavalry of the Northland, which has a large horn as hard as steel on their heads, and is covered with various heavy plate armor and chain mail, and even if these reindeer cavalry can cast a conical formation, a good charge can even chisel through the charging formation composed of heavy cavalry that does not set, and of course, the most important thing is that this situation has become a fact.

As for horse combat hand-to-hand combat, although the sun never sets has a battlefield order that is good at hand-to-hand combat, the smell of the reindeer is frightening the war horses, which is destined to fail to make these battlefield order members reach the best combat state, and when this kind of large cavalry is in a melee, you can't let the cavalry of those combat orders dismount and fight, as for letting those black iron archers from the Cuman tribe and the Cuman hussars use the compound bow in their hands to have our soldiers in this kind of battle formation. Not to mention long-range arrow attacks with your soldiers in our array.

"Order a retreat, these reindeer cavalry are too numerous, and there are tens of thousands of Helgen soldiers behind them, if we haven't called the 1st and 9th regiments to retreat now and let them sink deeper and deeper, then those Helgen soldiers who join us will really not be able to escape, but even if we can win, the losses of the cavalry regiments will be very heavy, and the most important thing is that the 4th regiment is still being rebuilt, and the army's expenses are a little tight, and we can't lose too many troops now, Otherwise, if the time comes, the replenishment will increase the burden of the Empire's financial expenditure. In this confrontation between more than 20,000 heavy cavalry and more than 60,000 reindeer cavalry, after finding that the current battle situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for his side, Bobby very decisively ordered all the heavy cavalry to retreat, and let the black iron heavy cavalry block the reindeer cavalry who wanted to pursue in the front, and let the Cuman hussars go around its flanks to harass and hinder the speed of the reindeer cavalry on the Helgen side.

Then all the heavy cavalry that did not set that day withdrew to the rear, leaving enough time for the sunset archers to play, the Cuman hussars equipped with powerful compound bows and the black iron heavy cavalry began to take advantage of the long-range power and began to fight and retreat, although the reindeer cavalry on the Helgen side felt very lame, but now they could only urge the reindeer moving very slowly under the crotch to move forward, who called this group of sunset archers like a piece of chewing gum stuck under the bottom of the shoes can't pick it off, What if you retreat from your side and still pursue?

Of course, the reindeer cavalry on Helgen's side is not stupid enough to let those archers who never set the sun chase and shoot, in fact, there are many richer reindeer cavalry among the reindeer cavalry on their side who are equipped with compound bows and steel arrows, and they also use arrows to counterattack in the process of pursuit, but because the compound bow in their hands is not very powerful, and those black iron archers wearing strong armor always attract their firepower. As a result, these arrows fired from Helgen's side could barely damage the archers' troops on the side where the sun never set.

In the end, the archers of the sunset side retreated to the Yatdaran Mountains because of the exhaustion of arrows, and the reindeer cavalry also destroyed more than 2,000 and nearly 3,000 sunset heavy cavalry in this battle, and lost the lives of more than 5,000 reindeer cavalry on their side to obtain the first victory on the Helgen side since the invasion of the sunset army, but the cost of this victory can definitely be so great that almost all the officers in the country can not accept.

At the same time, Helgen's side was also pleasantly surprised to find that as the main force of the sun never set retreated back to the Yatdaran Mountains after the defeat, the Sunset cavalry that had been destroyed at will in their own national territory also retreated back, but when all the Sunset cavalry retreated, the surprise of Helgen's side was gradually replaced by the sadness that followed.

In the course of the invasion that lasted for more than 10 days, they killed more than 400,000 Helgen people and reduced more than a dozen cities in the United Kingdom of Helgen to ruins or even soot.

Maybe this is nothing for the original United Kingdom of Helgen, after all, there is a certain amount of grain and grass in the treasury of each country in case of emergency, but please don't forget that the previous king of Helgen in Naerkov used the grain stored in the Ottoman Empire and his own treasury to buy off the high-ranking of the Snow Trolls and Half-Dragons, so it can be said that now it is a feng shui turn, from the Dick Empire to the United Kingdom of Helgen, Because the country is about to face a national food crisis.
