Chapter 61 Night Attack

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Lanita rode the White Queen around half a circle in the Western Territory. When she returned to Rock Snow City, the new commander had already been selected and had already marched towards the green field with an army of 30,000 people.

At the same time, reinforcements from the Moncent family arrived in Rock Snow City on almost the same day as Lanita. After being baptized by the dragon flames, the owner of Iron Horn City obviously changed his mind and began to actively devote himself to the fight with the Arias family.

During the war.

They dispatched an army of two thousand men at one go, and also brought a lot of weapons and armor.

In addition to the Moncent family, some other lords who were fortunate enough to be patronized by Lanita and her white dragon, as well as the surrounding noble families who heard about this incident, also succumbed one after another.

There was no way, almost none of the weapons in their hands could pose a real threat to the dragon. On the contrary, the white dragon could freely enter and leave their town and wreak havoc there.

After realizing this, it becomes clear what choice to make.

If everything goes well, Lanita may be able to gather a second army in less than half a month.

Clovis, who witnessed this scene, didn't know what to say. When Marquis Cullen was still here, recruiting troops was not so quick.

Some vassals will always find various reasons for being late or sending fewer people, some castle is in urgent need of repair, there are bandits in the territory, or there are not enough manpower to farm... I have never been so happy as now.

But Lanita was still not very satisfied with this efficiency, especially when the first unit received news of being attacked before it even reached Green Field.

The female lord of the Arias family did not stay in the city and defend it as most people imagined, but actually took the initiative to attack.

The number of people she sent was not that many, less than two hundred, but they were all cavalry, and all of them were wearing black armor. Even the horses were black, like a group of ghosts.

And they are as elusive as ghosts, always appearing at unexpected times and places. The first time they appear is late at night.

It rained heavily that night, and the coalition forces in Yanxue City began to camp on the roadside early. Because the soldiers in the team came from different families, several conflicts broke out just by choosing a place.

Someone took a fancy to the position first, but was snatched away by another group of people. After that, a quarrel broke out between the two parties, and it even escalated to a physical conflict.

And finally when it was time to eat, someone started arguing again because there was too much meat and there was too little meat. The quarrel continued until midnight, when everyone had no energy, and then it gradually stopped.

Wrapped in a blanket, lying in a muddy tent, I fell asleep.

Although the new commander-in-chief Harvin also arranged for people to be responsible for the night watch, because it was night and the rain was heavy, the visibility was very poor.

It wasn't until the black-armored cavalry rushed less than a hundred steps in front of them that they were discovered.

However, the darkness and heavy rain will not only affect the defenders, but also make it difficult for the black-armored cavalry to see the scene in front of them.

Therefore, as long as they can survive the first wave of raids, both sides will fall into chaos.

At that time, the coalition's numerical advantage can be brought into play.

But at this moment, beams of light suddenly shot out from the heads of the cavalry.

This strange scene surprised many people.

Only some nobles and warriors who had participated in the battle in the Dragon Crest Mountains realized that this was another method of taking a break from teaching.

However, all they could do was try to comfort the frightened companions around them, asking everyone to stay calm and not run away.

But those dozens of light beams bring more than just psychological shock. People who are illuminated by the light beams are often unable to open their eyes and can only become lambs to be slaughtered.

The black-armored cavalry weaved back and forth among the army several times before disappearing into the night again before they were surrounded.

This guard team, originally led by Herodotus, was doing dirty work for the church. Because they needed to remain secretive, their actions were often carried out at night.

Therefore, they have rich experience in night raids, and the headlamps sponsored by Li Yu make them even more powerful.

Early the next morning, the nobles of the coalition forces counted the casualties and found that nearly 500 people had been lost in just one night, and about 1,200 people were injured.

Those black-armored cavalry were very ruthless, and they almost left no one alive. As for those who were injured, most of them were injured because they were hit by their own people and trampled while running around.

After that, the black-armored cavalry appeared four or five times, each time when the army was most tired or relaxed.

The most dangerous time was when they almost robbed the food being transported behind them. Fortunately, the new coach Harvin made arrangements and sent an additional cavalry regiment of a hundred people to protect the food and grass.

The black-armored cavalry only had time to burn down a few carts of food and grass before they had to retreat.

As for the allied cavalry chasing behind them, they did not expect to defeat their opponents. They just wanted to entangle the black-armored cavalry and let the large troops behind them complete the encirclement.

But if you don't fight, you won't know. After fighting, the coalition cavalry were shocked to realize that the opponents in front of them were all terrifyingly strong.

In just a short while, more than twenty of them were lying down. On the other hand, among the black-armored cavalry, only three were dead, and four others were slightly injured.

The allied cavalry did not dare to pursue any more, and could only watch helplessly as their opponents walked away again.

After all this hard work, by the time they approached the green field, the coalition forces had lost nearly 2,000 men, and what was even worse was that their morale was at rock bottom.

Some nobles could hear their soldiers whispering, talking about Shuangxiu Cult, especially the power of the Prophet Merlin.

Those who had participated in the battle in the Dragon Ridge Mountains before vividly told their companions about the various miraculous phenomena that occurred that night.

Although the new head coach Halvin issued a military order not to allow people below to spread rumors, another major flaw of the coalition forces was also exposed at this time.

Since the leader of the army was not from the Figuerola family, the new coach was only selected through a multi-person competition, so his words were not so effective in the army.

After all, everyone was once a vassal of the Figuerola family, and their status and status are the same.

Fortunately, Harvin was not stupid. He knew that if he set foot on the green field like this, the fate of defeat would probably be waiting for him.

Therefore, when he was approaching the territory of the Arias family, he took the initiative to stop and found an excuse to reorganize his team and build fortifications there.

Harvin planned to wait for the arrival of another supporting army before launching an attack, but Yin Leiya was not prepared to let him do so.

This time, the female lord personally led five thousand troops and arrived outside the coalition camp.
