The wind on the Gobi, compared with the wind of the plains, will have a little more awe-inspiring momentum, which makes people involuntarily give birth to a sense of amazement.

As the difference between a rabble and an elite unit.

In the vast expanse of the Gobi, a cavalry unit rushed towards the battlefield in the Gobi like a raging wave, just as a tsunami that had already formed was trying to destroy everything in its path with a devastating momentum.

Having already gone from charging each other to catching and killing each other, it is naturally impossible not to see this menacing cavalry force.

It has to be said that the timing of the charge of this cavalry unit was very accurate, and it happened to be a stalemate in which the two sides entered a tug-of-war in the battle situation, and the entry of a new force could bring a great advantage to their own side. In particular, the cavalry unit's charging entry point is located on the flank of the battle situation, and it only takes a single battle formation to penetrate the battle formation to form a heavy blow to the enemy in terms of momentum and lethality.

The value of cavalry units is what it should be.

However, on a steep slope at the rear of this battlefield, William's eyes finally took his eyes off here: "The victory is decided. ”

"Huh? Is the winner decided? Hashas looked at the battlefield in disbelief, unable to understand what William was saying that the outcome had been decided.

In his opinion, the Thunder Lion troops led by Alfred did not directly break the enemy's infantry phalanx in one go as they had done in the previous battles, which led to the occupation falling into a situation of entanglement. It stands to reason that in such an evenly divided war situation. The side as the commander should immediately enter the second echelon and strive to get out of this situation as soon as possible, so that its side can expand its advantage.

But William didn't do that. Instead, Kloof and his troops remained on standby, and even the unit he had raised to serve as cannon fodder was never used—in fact, Hashas was well aware of the level of the force he had raised, and he knew that it would not be able to play a role on its own in a frontal battle. So from the moment he handed over command of his troops, he thought that his troops would either be used as a decoy or in a stalemate like the current one, and to put it simply, he was very self-aware: cannon fodder could only be used for sacrifice.

However, the result was completely unexpected.

William's approach seems to have smacked of arrogance and even complacency. He simply didn't bother to use the second echelon.

However, the enemy commander who fought with William obviously knew how powerful William was. Of course. The other party also knows better how strong the Thunder Lion's combat power is, in the first few battles, the infantry under his command was not the enemy of the Thunder Lion at all, and the charges of both sides were directly defeated by the Thunder Lion. It led to a total rout less than thirty minutes after the battle broke out.

The reason why today's battle is able to stalemate. It was because the enemy had almost all the infantry involved, and even used a heavy infantry that had not been used before as the core main force, which blocked the Thunder Lion's charge.

However, the commanders of the opposing side were also very cautious and careful. When he found out that William had not used the second echelon, he directly ordered his troops to fight and retreat - it was obvious that this was a tactic that the other side had already prepared. Although this tactic in a dogfight state will cause your troops to lose more when they retreat, at least the battle line remains intact. Instead of being crushed by the Thunder Lion, it shifted the battlefield to your own position.

Wait until then. When the enemy put in the cavalry unit as the second echelon to cut the battle formation, it was too late for William to put in the second echelon to rescue - because the cavalry was definitely faster than the infantry, and the battle situation was more inclined to the enemy's own formation, so the cavalry unit was definitely faster than the second echelon sent by William. Under the double combination, it seems that the advantages of people and places have been in the hands of each other.

Hashas even began to wonder if the relationship between Alfred and William was not at odds, otherwise why didn't William come to the rescue at all?

As if seeing Hashasas's doubts, William, who withdrew his gaze from a distance, said lightly: "That's a light cavalry. ”

Seeing William's indifferent appearance, only those who were familiar with William's nature would know that the current battle could not arouse the slightest interest in him. This meant that the enemy commander he was fighting against was too poor to arouse William's attention and excitement - in fact, only the war that could excite William was war for him.

However, there are only a handful of people who are really lucky enough to see William enter the state of excitement in command.

"I know it's a light infantry, but the light cavalry's ability to gallop is generally second to none." Hashas said with a puzzled expression, "Although in the previous battles, it has been proved that the skinning tactics of the lightly armed cavalry are useless against the Thunder Lion, but this time they took advantage of the Thunder Lion to get caught in the grappling battle and directly launched a charge!" …… Even if the light cavalry is not good at charging in battle, it is still relative to the heavy cavalry. ”

"The military battle formation, I am more familiar than you." William said lightly, but what his words revealed was absolute confidence.

By this time, the enemy's light cavalry unit had already engaged the soldiers on the edge of the Thunder Lion.

Light cavalry, known for its high mobility, they have a very good ability to gallop on the battlefield, in most cases, light cavalry units also serve as reconnaissance, vanguard, sharp knife and other strategic roles. Because of the wide range of characteristics of light cavalry, the use and applicability of warfare are also above all arms, and according to different battlefield conditions, many countries will specially train more targeted value of light cavalry units.

Under normal gallop conditions, the most common tactic used by light cavalry units is the skinning tactic of surrounded by wolves.

They will take advantage of the high mobility unique to the light cavalry unit to constantly charge the flanks of the enemy troops, thus inflicting a certain amount of damage on the enemy troops. In turn, it weakens the enemy army and plays a role in demoralizing the enemy. In terms of frontal charge and battle formation cutting, light cavalry units were not as lethal and efficient as heavy cavalry because of equipment problems.

But. And that's just relative to the heavy cavalry units.

“…… The heavy infantry of the Thunder Lion has been at the forefront, and now it is only the light infantry on the edge of the two wings. Hashas continued to say something, and his tone was very excited, "The light cavalry or shock force is not as good as the heavy cavalry, but now it is the light infantry who is in front of them!" ”

William nodded slightly, which generally means "I know": "It seems that you have studied very deeply in General Hannibal's "On the Restraint of Arms". On behalf of others, I would like to thank you for your scripted presentation. ”

Even an idiot could hear the teasing in William's tone, which made Hashasas's face red. That's when he found out. Standing in front of him was not an ordinary general, but a commander who could rank among the top ten generals, and it was obviously impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.

William could see Hashas's embarrassment, but he didn't mean to continue laughing. Instead, he waved his right hand: "Tell Clov." They can march, the battle ahead is over. …… The task of pursuit and harvesting is entrusted to him, and I will hear the news of his complete annihilation of the enemy army at sunset today. ”

Hashas was slightly startled, and couldn't help but move his gaze to the herald's figure.

He had known for a long time that Clov's troops had been in a state of rest, but Hasaas had guessed that William intended to let this force play a decisive role in ending the battle at a critical time. After all, the battle and pursuit in the past few days were all in charge of Alfred and his Thunder Lion, and Clove's troops have always been unhurriedly attached to the rear of the army, with no chance to go to the battlefield head-on.

But. Hasshas guessed the ending, but not the process - Cloof and his Cecilia Guards were indeed seen by William as the final word. It's just that it's not used in the current situation. Rather, it is used to hunt down enemy troops who have been frightened and exhausted to the point of being unable to continue fighting.

As if seeing Hashas's surprise, William was finally willing to give an explanation: "The composition of the Thunder Lion's troops is very complex, and it is not composed of pure humans. For bears and minotaurs, or even the Northland barbarians, the division between light and heavy infantry is meaningless, as they are born heavy infantry. …… You only read General Hannibal's "On the Restraint of Arms", but you don't know that General Hannibal's book was written after reading "A Brief Discussion on the History of Continental Wars" written by Jason, the god of miracle wars. ”

With that, William no longer looked at the battlefield in front of him, but turned his horse's head, and then slowly left the slope and headed for the camp behind. Nolo and Bannock, who were in charge of protecting William, naturally left with them, accompanied by a team of Dark Wings escorts trained by William, and soon only Hassas and his uncle Moro, who was also a bodyguard, were left on the slope that was convenient for observing the battlefield ahead.

Ahead, the situation on the battlefield is indeed as William said before, the victory and defeat have been divided.

The charge of the light cavalry troops, after only breaking through to a quarter of the battle formation, was no longer able to advance, but seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and could not move. And as we all know, when a cavalry unit responsible for charging and cutting through the enemy line cannot successfully cut through the enemy line, but instead falls into the enemy's army, it is basically no different from the total annihilation of the army, especially if this is still a light cavalry unit.

Seeing that the situation was overwhelming, of course, Hashas now thought that the enemy commander should have been frightened, and was now blowing the sound of the cavalry retreating. However, it is rare to lure out the enemy's cavalry troops, and of course the Thunder Lion cannot let it go, and soon a counter-encirclement circle was formed, directly surrounding this cavalry force, and the battle situation soon became completely white-hot.

But what really made Hashas feel palpitations was the Thunder Lion Guard led by Alfred, who was originally at the forefront and seemed to be in a stalemate. In the blink of an eye, this force burst out with extremely amazing momentum and combat effectiveness, like a real lion, they led by Alfred, directly cut through the enemy's infantry phalanx, and then formed a counter-encirclement situation to carry out an almost one-sided slaughter.

Seeing this scene in front of him, the corners of Hashas's mouth twitched slightly.

He didn't expect it at all. The stalemate was actually a play by Alfred. At this moment, the Thunder Lion, who finally revealed its true face, immediately revealed its palpitating sharp teeth and minions, completely tearing through all the defenses of the enemy army. It felt as if a male lion had completely bitten off the trachea of his prey and was ready to feast.

The total rout of the enemy army was completely unstoppable.

If it weren't for the fact that the Thunder Lion had too few troops, the enemy would not have been able to escape, and there would have been no need to send out to Cross and his troops to mop up.

After a long time, Hashas finally sighed: "It was rumored that the Thunder Lion's infantry legion could be used as heavy cavalry, but I think the rumors are too exaggerated. When I saw it today, I didn't know that the rumors were too modest. …… Hey, the three legions under the command of the Grand Duke of the Void. The steel wings of the 'Immovable Mountain', the Thunder Lion of the 'Thousand Armies', and the ......" Hashas turned his head to look at the Cecilia Guard, who had already begun to prepare for the battle, before continuing: "The Cecilia Guards ...... the 'Dreadnought', and it is indeed worthy of its name, no wonder it can enter the field of vision of those big people. ”

"The gap between combat literacy and armament is too great. There is no comparison at all. Moro, who was standing on the side, nodded in agreement. This is still the fact that the Void Principality can no longer afford to support other armies, so there is no way for the other legions to expand, otherwise...... I'm afraid it's not just these legions that are famous. ”

Hearing this, Hashas couldn't help but think of a conversation he had with Angel before. In that conversation, what made Angel care was not these three powerful legions that had become famous, but the Valkyrie who was equally famous with her, the Valkyrie of Ben Thunder. The First Cavalry Regiment commanded by Rena, and the only true knightly order of the Void Principality, which was born from the First Cavalry Regiment: the Crimson Knights.

"After this battle. My brother and sister don't have enough background and strength to compete with me, in the next family meeting. My inheritance will be promoted to the first priority. "As long as I don't die young, then I will be able to take the position of head of the family ahead of schedule." …… But I don't know why, at this moment, I can't be happy at all. ”

Moro didn't speak, but his eyes said it all.

The Zoandon family is located in the southern frontier of the Millennium Covenant Empire, and is the nobles of the Millennium Covenant Empire closest to the wilderness. So this means that after Hashas succeeds to the head of the house, he will often deal with not only the Savage Lands, but even the Void Duchy - especially the trade pact that has just signed a ten-year term. But no one will feel at ease knowing that there is a dragon lying next to them.

As everyone knows, this scene is actually a scene that William intended for Hashas to see.

After defeating the rebel force that secretly supported the Millennium Covenant Empire, William had fought with Hashasas's brother and sister, and even remotely controlled Dwight's Scarlet Knights to assist the Frost Legion in a confrontation with another group that was apparently coming to support the rebels. Since that time, William has accurately grasped the strength of the enemy, so he actually had the opportunity to directly determine the outcome through a battle from the beginning.

However, the war ended too quickly and there was not enough time for the future heir of the House of Zoandon to see some of the facts. For this reason, William and Alfred consulted to give the future heir of the House of Zoandon a grand and solemn war that shocked and pondered by sacrificing a small number of soldiers.

Judging by the results so far, it is clear that the project has been very successful.

After returning to the camp, William also received a message from Neil.

"Sean has entered the Millennial Covenant Empire to support Cecilia?" William looked at the confidential letter handed over by the intelligence officers of the Void Realm, and then his brow furrowed slightly, "There are enemy forces infiltrating and destroying the barbarian tribes in the Great Rift Valley, and you want me to return to the Great Rift Valley immediately to take control?" Not...... It's okay, since Sean has taken action himself, then I shouldn't have to worry about it, and the matter here has been solved. ”

While saying this, William quickly made a decision, he hurriedly wrote a reply letter, handed it to the Void Realm intelligence officer, and then said: "Tell Ruby, except for maintaining the necessary intelligence gathering, all the Void Realm intelligence personnel and the Void Dark Blade troops sent abroad will return." …… There's something for them to do in the Rift Valley, so that Ruby will come to me directly when he comes back. ”

"Yes." The agent nodded, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Nolo, who was standing beside William, felt the aura disappear before he spoke, "Lord Sean has also given me an order to continue to be responsible for your safety. …… Let me tell you that he will bring Miss Lyce back, so please don't worry. ”

"I've always had a lot of trust in Sean." William smiled, which made his indifferent countenance look a little more charming, "So, I'm going to continue to trouble you, Lord Nolo." ”

Nolo, who was also smiling and showing a charming smile that was not inferior to William's, smiled, "You're welcome, Lord William. ”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Bannock suddenly shivered for some reason, and he had a feeling of wanting to escape from here. (To be continued......)
