434 Scarlet Moon (1)

The storm swept like a wild horse from the Dugan steppe on the northeastern edge, like a merciless robber, sweeping through the rich and densely populated central Tulka steppe,

Black clouds rolled over, carrying waterfall-like rain, turning the ground with dense grass into a difficult mud.

Thunder roared in the clouds overhead, and chaotic silver lightning pierced the sky overhead, illuminating the neat array of Ruierdian's army scattered in front of the walls of the capital.

The shining lightning illuminated the faces of the Ryordian soldiers, and the shield raised to their chests only allowed them to reveal a pair of blood-red eyes, looking at the cold light that covered the city with bows and arrows, and the eyes of beasts were transmitted inside.

Eight days of tragic siege battles cost the Ryerdian army 4,000 casualties, and most of the walls of Samandu collapsed.

However, the remnants of the 1,000 Kugit troops in the inner city are still guarding the last broken city wall.

Even the Ryordian army, who was in charge of the attack, was full of surprise,

Everyone on the mainland knows that defending the city is not the strong point of the Kujits, but this lightly armed army of 5,000 people used their own bows and arrows and scimitars to retreat in the case of a major retreat of the 20,000 main forces on the periphery.

With the city wall battle and the heart of death, which he is not good at, he dragged the footsteps of 30,000 Ruierdian's elite cavalry who tried to pursue him under the dilapidated Saman capital

The mutilated corpses of the two armies were stacked on top of each other at the battlements of the city wall, slightly white washed away in the pouring rain, and the bloodstained battlements looked particularly miserable in the rain.

The scattered walls were covered with traces of trebuchet shells, and in the white raindrops, the tenacious figure of the Kugit archer appeared from time to time at the mouth of the collapsed battlement

"Misseryn, the combat effectiveness of your Eastern Army is really getting more and more disappointing" Nerrad, the leader of the Twelfth Knight of Ruierdian, turned his hands behind his back with an arrogant expression, and there was a trace of contempt in his eyes,

In front of Nerrad's body, there was a bloodstained General Ruierdian, who stood straight in response to Nerrad's scolding,

Large drops of rain flowed down the lines of his torn chain mail, forming a brown mud inside the tent.

"What a surprise," Nellrad turned around, staring at Micherin in front of him with sharp eyes, and said in a sarcastic tone

"If it weren't for the Marshal personally sending me to supervise the battle, I wouldn't have known that the Lion's Wing Banner, known as the Dragon's Spear of the Ruierdian, had been delayed in front of this ruined city for four days.

This is what the Oled Banner Regiment paid for with 3,000 lives in a bloody battle with the reinforcements of Kugit in Drefaeban, but you wasted it in the heavy rain like this.

If only the warriors of the kingdom who died in Drefa'oban would have risen from the graveyard in anger when they knew that their blood was so worthless."

"The lesson of the adults is that it may be that the subordinates are too incompetent" Misserin lowered his head, and although Misserin admitted Nellard's ridicule, his eyes were complicated

Everyone knows what's going on this time, and their lion wing regiment is just a nominal scapegoat.

In order to save himself from the unfavorable situation of being blocked in Aichmore,

The marshal of the kingdom, Berlante, issued an urgent order to the eastern corps of Ryerdian, which was stationed on the border of the eastern steppe,

The two elite cavalry banner regiments of the Eastern Army broke through the eastern steppe overnight,

Taking advantage of the Kujiit massing in Tulgar and sharply shrinking the defensive line,

Along the more secluded Amanson Corridor on the edge of the steppe, running for 3 days in a row, across the entire eastern steppe, and then suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the capital of Samandu, the first fortress on the outskirts of Tulga.

In the bright moonlight, a long black line appeared at the end of the earth,

The roar of horses' hooves tore apart the peace of the prairie, and the 30,000 Ryerdian light cavalry, which was like a hurricane and a horizontal impact, completely penetrated the scattered defense line of the Kugits outside the scattered capital in an instant.

No one would have thought why the Ryordian cavalry would appear here, the swift attack of the cavalry knocked the unprepared Kujits into a daze,

The camp was trampled to pieces by the Ryerdian cavalry, and the people were bleeding under the sword light of the Ryordian, and two tribes of tens of thousands of people were slaughtered in one night

In the face of the sudden arrival of the Ryerdian cavalry corps, the scattered organizational habits made the Kugit army only focus on the direction of Mount Rudato, and then began to mobilize the next day,

The Kujits, who claim to be the masters of the steppe, meet an opponent who makes them feel difficult this time.

These two assault cavalry who came from the moon seem to be extremely familiar with the tactics of the Kujits.

In the face of the Kugit army that began to react, the two Ruierdian cavalry were like two sharp and entangled scissors, from time to time to destroy the army searched by the Kugit,

Often one group is in front to attract the enemy who is constantly pursuing and gathering, while the other is already in ambush in front, this simple but effective tactic of luring the enemy can be described as fatal to the Kujiit people's habit of scattering and searching and attacking in a concentrated manner

It's been like this several times,

When the Kugit army thinks that they have caught these abominable sneak attackers, they will always suddenly appear on their back, and there will always be a sharp light cavalry.

This sharp Ruierdian cavalry, when they are fighting with the main force of the cavalry in front,

Surprise attack from the left and right,

Then, like a pair of scissors merging back and forth together, it cut through the dense formation of the Kugit cavalry,

The loss of the organized cavalry corps was fatal,

The scattered ranks were in the face of dense and huge cavalry clusters, which simply did not have the ability to resist

The Kujits, who had a superior military strength of 40,000, were killed in the Battle of Saman before they could even organize the most basic resistance, and suffered nearly 30,000 casualties

The remnants of the 20,000 tribal army had to choose to retreat to Tulga in front of the 30,000 Ryordian cavalry.

The Acropolis was left with only a squadron of about 5,000 people. At this moment, the tribal carnival of the steppe Laren warriors was being held in Turga and it was simply impossible to organize an army counteroffensive

The scales of war are tilted in favor of the Ruierdian people at this moment

The two eastern banner regiments of Ruierdian, which occupied the suburbs, took the opportunity to march north, constantly driving away the Kugit troops that might appear around them, while quickly cutting off the connection between the capital city of Saman and the city of Tulga.

The other main force began to dismount and raise shields and fight on foot, besieging the capital city of Saman, which had only 5,000 men, which was the most important fortress of the royal court Tulga in the middle of the steppe.

It is also the first foothold of the main force of the Ruierdian army to advance northward,

Conquer the city of Saman,

Not only can it cut off the royal court from other outposts in the south, but it can also allow the army to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the steppe to obtain an excellent place to station and stock up on supplies.

Marshal Raldian's plan is not imperfect, mobilizing the Eastern Army to assault the capital, like a sharp dagger that wipes the throat of the Kugit royal court,

Let the originally extremely unfavorable situation be overturned in an instant,

It's a pity that wars are always full of surprises and surprises,

The Ryordian cavalry defeated the Kujits, who were good at field warfare, in the field, but suffered a great loss in the siege warfare they were best at.

Garrisoned in the capital of Samon was the Fifth Squadron of the Imperial Guards,

This is a squadron of hurricane archers that is rare in the Kugit army, and before being transferred to the capital of Saman, the fifth squadron was mainly responsible for the defense of the royal court of Turgane.

King Kugit handed over the first fortress to them, and the trust and ability of this army can be imagined

It is the identity and glory of his own Wang Tingjun,

When the main force outside the city suffered heavy losses and chose to retreat, this army still chose to stay without hesitation

Five thousand Hurricane Shooters may be a good ranged attack force in the field, but in wall battles, they are definitely a formidable opponent

The Kujiit grew up holding bows and arrows, and archery is just a very common title, but in order to become a higher-level hurricane shooter,

At least you need to be able to shoot a wind chime swinging on the roof of a tent from a distance of 100 meters, an arrow target at a distance of 50 meters on a galloping horse, and an antelope running quickly within 50 meters.

These seemingly fancy skills are the sharpest means of attack on the battlefield.

The siege of the city of Ryordian army is like the tribal army that has suffered their fatal blow, and is defenseless against the details of this special garrison.

They were steppe legions from the east, and their opponents were the cavalry of the Kujits, and they didn't care too much about the Hurricane Shooters guarding the walls.

The archer is only an auxiliary unit in the Kugit army, which is evident in the Kugit army that has encountered it before.

In fact, no matter how clever the shooter,

On the undulating back of the horse, his shooting accuracy will be greatly reduced, just like obviously trying to shoot the enemy's head, maybe because of the ups and downs of the war horse,

The arrows can fly into the air and draw a regrettable arc, so the Kugit tend to place these archers who follow behind the main cavalry on the flanks of the main cavalry.

In the midst of a frontal cavalry assault, these cavalry archers were used to constantly harass the enemy's formation,

Tear a gap for the main cavalry in front of you who is about to crash into the enemy formation, as long as the opponent's formation is shaken in the rain of arrows, the main cavalry who is good at assault can tear the enemy to pieces along this gap

Unfortunately, the hurricane shooters encountered by the Lionwing Banner this time did not have horses, and their arrows would not be misaligned by the leaping of their horses

The sharp Kugit long arrow brought down the densely charged Ryrdian cavalry at a distance of 15o paces

Because this time, in order to achieve the purpose of a sudden attack, the Ruierdian cavalry were all wearing simple chain mail and general crane-shaped cavalry shields.

This shield, which can only cover half of the body,

It can allow the Ryerdian cavalry to protect the body of the flanks while quickly stabbing out the spear,

But in front of the hurricane shooters, who are known for their accurate shooting,

The densely moving Ryerdian soldiers were undoubtedly like a target leaking in all directions, and the hurricane shooter's precise arrows shot into the bodies of their companions behind them from time to time through the gaps in their shields.
