Chapter 932 Ariel Falls to the City
Raymond has been very frustrated since the beginning of the Aurora offensive.
Because he has never been able to wait for the opportunity to achieve military achievements.
After the "Aurora" offensive began, Raymond and Su Cheng led the main force of the Eastern Route Army together, and had no chance to lead troops alone to fight. So far, Raymond has not made any achievements.
Raymond is also a knight and is eager for military achievements.
After Su Cheng handed over the new vanguard troops to him, Raymond was overjoyed because he finally had the opportunity to lead the troops alone.
However, after finally being able to lead the troops alone, Raymond still failed to make any contribution.
Because the march was so smooth, all the cities along the way surrendered obediently, and no battle happened.
Raymond was naturally quite dissatisfied with this result.
It is precisely because of this that he was so happy after hearing the spy's report.
Realizing that there was an opportunity to make great contributions before and after his eyes, Raymond suddenly lost all sleepiness and ordered all the cavalry in the army to stop sleeping and be ready to attack immediately.
Raymond planned to seize the rare fighter jet now, gather all the cavalry in the army, and give Aler a blow to the thunder that is now in chaos.
Raymond has not many cavalry under his command now, only more than 2,000 people, but it is enough.
After gathering all the cavalry in the army, Raymond took advantage of the night to launch an attack on Arrier, more than 30 miles away.
As for the remaining infantry, they were handed over to the rest of the knights in the army to command.
Raymond was originally a general who was good at commanding cavalry.
The cavalry team's speed and pace of marching are adjusted in detail so that the cavalry can travel as far as possible at the fastest speed as possible - this move is Raymond's specialty.
When it was dawn, Raymond and his cavalry came to the city of Arile.
After coming to the city of Arrier, Raymond found that as the spy said, Arrier is now in chaos. From a distance, Arrier's city gate is still crowded with many chaotic people.
The wide open city gates were filled with crowds, carriages, and livestock. If you were to queue up, you didn’t know how long it would take to be before your turn to leave the city or enter the city.
Of course, this only happens when you choose to queue up properly.
As the invader, Raymond naturally would not line up to enter the city.
Raymond's target of attack was Arrier's northwest gate.
After ordering to form a wedge formation, Raymond personally led the cavalry to launch an assault on the northwest gate of Arrier.
The cavalry galloped, the war horses neighed, and the horns were loud. Under the charge of the cavalry, the unarmed civilians had no backhand power at all.
Raymond and the wedge array behind him penetrated into the civilian community like a sharp arrow, like a hoe plowing a bloody road and storming into the city of Arile.
The civilians squeezed at the northwest gate were either stepped into meat sauce by war horses or killed by soldiers on horseback.
Most of this cavalry are recruits, and they are newly recruits who have been added after the end of last year's "Overlord Counterattack".
The reason why these new recruits were incorporated into the new vanguard troops was to train troops.
Anyway, the reinforcements of the Holy Hillan Empire have been defeated and there is no threat ahead. This is a great time to train troops, so that these new recruits will become more familiar with the feeling of coming to the front line.
After entering the city of Arial, the cavalry was automatically divided into several teams and rushed in different directions.
The cavalry crisscrossed all over the streets and alleys of Arrier, cutting over, stabbing and trampling everyone they met along the road like chopping melons and vegetables.
Countless civilians rushed to flee, but could not find a way to escape.
They could only run wildly, cry wildly, jump wildly, shout wildly.
Such a miserable and bloody scene may make any ordinary person feel unbearable.
But Raymond didn't feel much about it.
In his eyes, there was nothing wrong with this. He had done similar things countless times before.
If you ask Raymond: What do you think of seeing such a scene, Raymond may answer: I feel very sorry.
Because killing civilians is not counted as entering military merits, no matter how many civilians kill, they cannot obtain any military merits.
The reason why this cavalry was divided into several after entering the city of Arrier was to control the city gates in different directions.
The spies who had been lurking in Arile for a long time had already drawn a detailed map of Arile, so even after rushing into the city, Raymond and others were not lost.
After quickly controlling Arriel's gates and preventing anyone in the city from escaping, Raymond began to quietly wait for the arrival of the subsequent troops.
There are only more than 2,000 Britannian soldiers entering the city.
Arrier has a population of more than 800,000. Even though he had left a part since last night, at least 600,000 people should be left in the city.
2,000 people are 600,000 people - just counting the numbers, the combat power of both sides is not proportional at all.
To put it bluntly, but very correct, it is that the 600,000 remaining people in the city may have drowned Raymond and the cavalry team he brought to death.
However, in the face of the willful acts of the Britannian cavalry led by Raymond, the civilians in the city took action - kneeling on the ground and surrendering, and did not even dare to look at them.
In order to get out of the city even if it was just like that, Alier had staged many bloody fights since last night.
Citizens fought with soldiers in the defenders, and citizens fought with citizens.
Although he was fighting with his compatriots so fiercely and bravely, he didn't even dare to resist the real foreign enemy when it came.
The horse hooves and rifles of the Britannian cavalry completely scared all the citizens in the city.
Aler has a total of 6 city gates, and the Britannian army that led the city to enter only more than 2,000 cavalry. With such a division of troops, each city gate is only guarded by hundreds of cavalry.
However, even if each city gate is guarded by only a few hundred cavalry, the civilians in Aler City dare not resist any more, and no one dares to attack the city gate.
After seizing Arrier's city gates and successfully blocking Arrier's various ways out, Raymond personally led a part of the cavalry toward Arrier's city center.
After arriving at the city center of Arrier, Raymond saw a magnificent tall castle.
Looking at the tall castle in front of him, Raymond thought to himself:
——This should be Alier’s government.
According to the spy's intelligence, the government in Arrier was very different from the government in other cities.
The governments in other cities were just large houses made of bricks and stones. As the capital of the empire, Arrier's government was a castle, and a defensive stone wall was even built on the outside.
Raymond was not in a hurry to launch an attack on Arial's government because he noticed that Arial's government seemed to have a certain amount of armed force.
He now only has cavalry, and letting cavalry attack the castle is like shooting flies with crossbow arrows. It is a wasteful and brainless behavior.
