The fighting lasted for a day, and the Gorlan rebels finally cleared away the defenders outside Tok City and captured more than 20,000 soldiers. These captured soldiers all had one thing in common, that is, they were civilians.
As for soldiers and officers of noble origin, they were all killed.
After solving the outer city, Kruse just led his people to surround the inner city. He did not rush to launch an attack. He only used air cannons to bombard the castles and towers in the inner city from time to time.
The reason why they did not attack was because they received orders from Aslan.
That's right, it's an order.
Aslan wanted to encircle the area for reinforcements, and to destroy all possible reinforcements around him, so that the Gorlan rebels could cooperate with them.
Cruze was also very straightforward. He agreed and at the same time led 20,000 troops to rush out of the city and began to clean up the lord's territory around the Tok area.
The smart lords fled early, and some fools thought highly of themselves, thinking that the Gorlan rebels would use their power to rule the Tok region. Not surprisingly, almost all of them were massacred.
Then Kruze began to divide the land. Anyone who was willing to join the Gorland People's Army could receive land for their family, and soldiers who had made contributions to the People's Army could also be rewarded with land.
Under the temptation of real land, the private soldiers of the lords turned to the Gallan People's Army one after another after the death of the lords.
"Establish a life for the people! Strive for the people's freedom and independence!"
This is the slogan of the Gorland People's Army.
Aslan will not care about how Kruse develops the Tok area. He is focused on encircling the area to provide reinforcements and see the combat effectiveness of the United Army and the aviation magic brigade.
The organization of the Aviation Mage Brigade consists of four combat squads forming a squad, four squads forming a squadron, and four squadrons forming a squadron.
A combat squad ranges from ten to thirteen people, and its current size is worthy of the establishment of a brigade.
Aslan waited for about a few hours before receiving the news from the surveillance team.
"We will enter Ranke Canyon in about two hours." Aslan put down the document in his hand and looked at everyone at the headquarters.
Artoria had rehearsed the battlefield countless times and stood up very confidently.
"Lord! This battle must be won!"
Mordred also stood up. Anyway, she was in charge of fighting, Arturia was in charge of planning, and her cousin would do whatever she said.
Diarmuid next to him looked at the map behind him expectantly.
An ambush of 20,000 cavalry by 10,000 cavalry is really an exciting battle.
"Very well, Artoria, the rest of the battle will be entirely under your command." Aslan simply gave up the challenge and prepared to attack with the Air Magic Brigade.
Just as Arturia was about to speak, she saw Nomeli and Cu Chulainn quietly following Aslan.
Obviously these two masters plan to attack together with Aslan, and beside Artoria, there are also Diarmuid, the knight mentor, and Jeddu, the mage.
Time passed by, and Aslan led the aviation magic brigade not to ambush in the canyon, but at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters.
Everyone put away their magic mechanical wings and stood quietly in the sky.
Aslan glanced at the time, and Medoriya's voice immediately came from the communicator.
"The enemy appears!"
"Everyone is ready!"
Twenty thousand cavalry were galloping forward, and the whole earth was shaking. Aslan in the sky might not have felt it, but Artoria, who was lurking on the other side of the canyon, had already felt the sudden vibration.
Yadong quickly lay down on the ground with his ears pressed to the ground. Soon he jumped up and said solemnly: "The enemy is coming. Listening to the vibration frequency of the ground, the number of enemy cavalry should exceed 30,000."
This is a full 10,000 more than they initially expected.
Arturia's expression remained unchanged and she waved her hand.
"Continue to hide! Wait for the enemy reconnaissance troops to pass before taking action."
Yadong nodded and quickly returned to the combat position.
Dozens of cavalrymen soon appeared in the canyon. They stopped one person at regular intervals and the others continued to move forward. Only after the group had completely passed the canyon and did not find that the canyon was ambushed, did some people start to shout out flags.
Aslan's eyes were glowing with blue light and his pupils were dilated. This was because he used the eagle eye magic.
"Squadrons prepare!"
The 30,000 cavalrymen in the Guolan area were advancing at full speed, obviously preparing to pass through as quickly as possible.
As soon as the first thousand-man team rushed out of the canyon, they heard the deafening sound of galloping horses.
Artoria also gave the order to attack.
Aslan waved his hand suddenly and said: "The battle begins! Act according to the plan."
Cu Chulainn and Nomeli each led a squadron of Aviation Magic Regiment soldiers to carry out low-altitude strikes.
Aslan led the remaining two squadrons to directly cut off the retreat of Guolan Cavalry.
"Aim everyone! Pyroblast technique."
Rumble!
A wave of neat pyrotechnic bombs fell on both sides of the valley, causing a violent explosion that directly collapsed most of the canyon and buried the cavalry underground alive.
Cu Chulainn and Nomeli quickly focused on the enemy's two knight instructors and killed them directly.
The enemy falling from the sky startled the two knight instructors, but when they reacted, Cu Chulainn and Nomeli had already appeared in front of them.
The two knight instructors were knocked over directly. Cu Chulainn used his ultimate move as soon as he came up and directly knocked the opponent's head away. Then he glared hard with his feet and quickly flew up into the sky.
Nomiri was simply violent, slashing out a huge sword light. Even if the knight instructor raised his shield to block with all his strength, he was still torn apart by the sword.
They were both mentor-level experts, but their strength could only be considered below average among mentor-level men. However, facing the two strongest men at the mentor-level, they were killed with almost no resistance.
Normally, even if there is a gap in strength, it is impossible to kill the opponent so quickly.
The real reason is that the two of Nomeli have been preparing for a long time, and with the blessing of legendary weapons, the two knight instructors only accepted the challenge hastily, and they did not expect that the other party was so wealthy.
As soon as the two knight instructors died, the thirty thousand cavalry suddenly became confused.
The rear army fled backwards, but were beaten back by several volleys from Aslan.
A G34 rifle that uses armor-piercing bullets can directly penetrate more than a dozen ordinary soldiers with one shot. Unless a swordsman-level fighting spirit armor can barely block it.
Although he only had less than a hundred rounds of ammunition, he easily killed hundreds of cavalrymen.
They were squeezed into the canyon and were easily shot without even moving.
Aslan at the back of the canyon used armor-piercing bombs to kill the enemies and prevent them from charging. Nomeli and Cu Chulainn, who were in charge of the middle section of the canyon, were not so generous and just used pyroblast bombs to carry out intensive bombing.
