In just a few days, the hell dogs wandering in Black Crow Ridge were wiped out by the Construct Swordsmen Group. The black magicians did not expect that this group of Construct Swordsmen were not afraid of exposing their whereabouts. Although during this period
The black magicians forcibly interfered several times and lost several more black magicians.
This made the black magician McCarthy very angry, but there was nothing he could do. The only gain was to find out the specific location where the Surdak Legion was hiding.
Subsequently, Glover McDonnell immediately sent two heavy cavalry regiments and three infantry regiments straight to this mountain col.
Because there were magicians probing in the sky, Surdak knew the movements of the Lord's army in advance. By the time they surrounded the mountain col, Surdak led the heavy armored infantry regiment to the valley at the foot of the Black Crow Ridge Mountain.
During this period, some new troops were recruited one after another, and the number of Surdak's troops has exceeded 8,000.
Although the team is a bit bloated, these soldiers are all members of the Resistance Army. They have rich experience in jungle survival and are also very experienced in how to escape the pursuit of the Lord Army.
A heavy cavalry regiment of the Lord's Army with less than two hundred men was wandering at the foot of Black Crow Ridge Mountain and happened to encounter a retreating heavy armored infantry regiment.
This heavy cavalry squadron actually wanted to hold back Surdak's heavy armored infantry regiment by itself, relying on its superior equipment of heavy armor and knight's lances.
The Great Swordsman Quintas and the Constructed Swordsman Group happened to be away, otherwise Surdak planned to directly eat the heavy cavalry squadron of two hundred people...
The soldiers of the 1st Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment fought and retreated in the jungle, retreating all the way to the river.
There were so many vines in the jungle that the horses couldn't run at all. In some places with dense vines, the cavalry had to take detours.
"Their large cavalry force is chasing us from behind, what should we do?" Samira jumped down from the crown of a big tree and reported to Surdak Hui.
Surdak looked at the thirty or so flat-bottomed boats docked by the river and said:
"Invite the soldiers to get on the boat and let's go to the other side of the river!"
Most of the heavy armored infantry had crossed the river, and the remaining 1st Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment also jumped on the punts. These thirty punts could only transport a thousand people at a time, leaving five hundred people.
Unable to board the boat, he quickly took off his heavy armor and threw it on the boat. However, he jumped into the river and swam across the river holding on to the side of the boat.
The heavy cavalry tried to rush to the river bank to stop them, but were blocked by a hail of arrows fired by archers on the other side of the river.
I watched helplessly as a wave surged in the river, pushing more than thirty flat-bottomed boats, and almost all of them docked without ferrying.
The heavy cavalry stood by the river, facing Surdak's heavy armored infantry across the river.
Some knights couldn't help but try. The water in this river was a bit deep. As soon as the front legs of the green-scaled war horse stepped into the river, it was already submerged in the chest of the war horse. In desperation, the knights could only pull the reins of the horse and let the green-scaled war horse.
Jump back to the shore.
At this time, Growa McDonnell, who had been following behind and eating ashes, finally led a large force to catch up. Looking at the heavy armored infantry regiment retreating on foot along the other side of the river to the west, Commander Growa finally gave the order again.
:
"The first and second heavy cavalry regiments continued to pursue the rebels across the river bank. The third and fourth heavy cavalry regiments circled from the shallow water area ten miles behind the river to the other bank and continued their pursuit!"
Then Growa looked at the panting infantry regiment running all the way, thought for a moment and said: "Let's set up some rafts here..."
Among the supplies brought over from the camp, there are sheepskins that can be blown into airbags. Inject air into these sheepskin airbags and tie them under the raft to become a raft for transporting troops. This is what Growa wants to do.
Skin raft.
He said to several cavalry regiment commanders:
"I want to deploy some troops on both sides of the river bank, and then the cavalry on both sides will go hand in hand. I will make some rafts here to meet you. This river will be an important passage for our eastward expedition in the future. I will have the infantry regiments move along the river bank.
Forest roads were opened on both sides for the cavalry to pass."
After hearing Growa's arrangement, several heavy cavalry regiment commanders had no choice but to take orders and set off.
…
Just as the four heavy cavalry regiments began to take action, Growa suddenly noticed a noble knight standing under the shade of a tree on the other side of the river.
Although he had never seen it before, his intuition told him that the man opposite was the commander of the rebel army.
Surdak looked at the young commander quietly. Samira originally wanted to shoot an arrow from a long distance to see if he could hit it, but after hesitating, he jumped down from the top of the tree and followed without looking back.
Leave decisively behind the large army.
More than thirty flat-bottomed boats also followed the large army down the river...
A group of heavy cavalry was pursuing them along the other side of the river, but it seemed they did not dare to stay too far away from the large force behind them.
The rainforest was overgrown with vines, and the cavalry had no speed advantage. In this chase, because the Suldak Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment had been adopting a strategy of avoiding battle, the main cavalry of the Lord's Army of the Third Army believed that these heavy armored infantry
The armored infantry was vulnerable. Under the influence of this overconfidence mentality, a large number of the Lords of the Third Army were scattered along the river.
Growa's army of lords participating in the battle totaled 15,000 people, including 10,000 infantry warriors, 2,000 heavy cavalry, 2,000 light cavalry and 1,000 archers, but all combat units of the Third Army
They are all scattered in the narrow valley area between the frontline camp and the Kempela Valley.
In order to allow the cavalry to pass, Growa planned to open a forest road in the dense woods on both sides of the river.
The infantry of the Third Legion were once again reduced to a group of lumberjacks...
…
The heavy armored infantry regiment finally reached the decisive battle site set by Surdak, and the Lords of the Third Army on the opposite side were finally dragged out of their formation. Almost all the Lords' armies could only move in battalion units.
The pursuit of the cavalry at the front was always to hold back the heavy armored infantry regiment until reinforcements from the rear arrived.
It's just that during the pursuit, they didn't realize that they had put some distance between themselves and the main force.
In other words, there is no large force at all, and the entire Third Army has been dragged into a ball of loose sand.
This is a low-lying canyon where three rivers meet and then branch into two roads.
A river flows to the canyon town to the east.
Another river flows to the collapsed land in the south.
On both sides of the valley are fault mountains more than fifty meters high. The area in the middle is still three to four kilometers wide, but the entire canyon is ten kilometers long.
The place is divided into many parts by meandering rivers, and is called the Kempella Valley by the locals.
Once here, the heavy armored infantry regiment no longer needs to retreat blindly.
At this moment, Surdak's heavy armored infantry regiment has been fully equipped with four heavy armored infantry regiments that can participate in the battle. Counting 500 constructed swordsmen and 500 archers, there are a total of 7,000 people participating in the battle. At this moment, it has been
Ambush in the canyon.
As night fell, rivers were flowing everywhere, blocking the progress of the heavy cavalry regiment.
"Those cowardly rebels! In front of the cavalry of the Third Army, they would just run away with their tails between their legs... If it weren't for this river, they might not survive tonight. Now we can only let them have more
Live for a while and wait for tomorrow! Tomorrow is the time for our cavalry to flatten this canyon!"
Many cavalrymen in heavy cavalry regiments think this way.
Currently, there are only four heavy cavalry regiments catching up, and a large number of infantry are still cutting down trees behind...
As for the one thousand archer group... In fact, there is no archer group anymore. Just now, the great swordsman Quintus led the constructed swordsmen to ambush the archer group.
For the constructed swordsmen, this group of archers is in the jungle and is not qualified to act alone.
