In the Grand Maester's study, Reggie had had similar fantasies. Looking at the armies and iron horses in the book of war, and drinking the clear and refreshing wine, you didn't even need to eat food, and you could quickly imagine yourself conquering
The way the world looks like.
It's a pity that Reggie is not as lucky as Asalon. His opponents are too powerful and they usually don't give him a chance to dream, but come directly to teach him how to behave.
But Asalon's situation is different. He is very smart and strong. He can endure pain that others can't endure, and he also paid a price that others can't imagine. But he has never endured the urgency of a sword and axe, so he
He had a long dream, and now it was time for him to wake up.
The Black Wolf King's cavalry rushed over among the chest-high weeds, and their speed was almost the same as on the flat ground.
The soldiers who were marching in the hot and mosquito-filled grass did not take any precautions. Most of the soldiers did not even have a chance to raise their weapons and were directly pierced by lances. This battle has nothing to do with the name of war and the dream of the king.
It has nothing to do with the gaudy tactics in the Book of War. The most relevant ones at present are the Black Wolf King’s fierce offensive and Asalon’s poor formation, and this stark contrast also makes this battle a
Pure slaughter.
The black wolf cavalry cut Asalon's infantry into several sections, and then surrounded and killed them one by one. The war horses galloped back and forth in the grass, and the lances were like piercing candied haws, harvesting the lives of the infantry wantonly. Many cavalry even killed their arms until they were sore.
, after all, it is hard work to hold the lance all the time. And Asalon's soldiers have never been able to organize an effective counterattack. They can only pray silently, praying that the opponent's lance is blunt, the horse is tired, or the cavalry himself is disgusted.
Killed.
Asalon hid in the grass under the protection of a group of archers. The pungent smell of blood and body parts flying from time to time made him want to vomit. The enemies were hovering around him, and he could even pass through the gaps in the grass.
Seeing the enemy's horse hooves, it was difficult for him to control his breathing. The archer covered his mouth fiercely. If Asalon was discovered by the enemy, two cavalrymen could kill more than a dozen archers.
Clean.
This is the crushing of infantry by cavalry. Asalon also has cavalry. Although their combat capabilities cannot be compared with the Black Wolf Cavalry, their number is several times that of the other party. The massacre lasted for more than ten minutes, and these cavalry at the forefront of the team were able to
Aware of a surprise attack.
The Black Wolf King did not want to fight. Seeing the opponent's cavalry gradually coming to support him, he immediately ordered a retreat. A good general always knows the purpose of the war. The purpose of the sneak attack has been achieved. Staying for one more minute will cause unnecessary battle losses.
Trembling, Asalon trudged out of the grass field accompanied by everyone. When the number of people was counted, the proportion of those killed in battle and the number of enemies killed was truly staggering.
In this battle that lasted less than half an hour, Asalon lost a total of more than 2,000 soldiers, while the Black Wolf King only brought more than 500 cavalry. This means that each Black Wolf Cavalry killed at least
Four infantrymen.
But Asalon's soldiers failed to kill a single enemy, not a single one!
Although several archers insisted that they had shot the enemy, no enemy bodies were found on the ground.
Is there any worse battle in the world?
Asalon fell ill. He immediately found a place to camp and lay in bed all day.
That night, he had a nightmare, and the next day, he had a high fever.
At the strong request of all the wolf kings, Asalon organized a military meeting on the third day. Regarding the next move, Asalon believed that he should continue to stay in the camp and explore the whereabouts of the enemy troops.
This idea was strongly opposed by the Gray Wolf King, the Red Wolf King, the Golden Wolf King and the Green Wolf King, because he had the experience of fighting the Black Wolf King.
"We can't stop, otherwise we will be eaten by the ogres, and no bones will be left," said the Red Wolf King. "Let's attack Fengxiao City now, the sooner the better. I don't believe he will give up his city, as long as he goes back
Defending the city, as long as we can fight him head-on, we can beat him into mud!"
The Gray Wolf King, the Golden Wolf King and the Green Wolf King also agreed with the Red Wolf King's idea. Only the Scarface Wolf King was a little cautious: "We have to pass through a swamp and a sand poplar forest. In these places, I'm afraid we will encounter sneak attacks.
"
Several wolf kings looked at the scarred wolf king angrily. The scarred wolf king looked embarrassed and did not dare to say anything more.
The Golden Wolf King said: "Let's continue advancing. We are already very close to Fengxiao City. If everything goes well, we will be able to reach the city by this time tomorrow."
Asalon said: "But as Shakwan (Scarface) said, what should we do if we are attacked again?"
"There are bound to be risks in fighting," the Blue Wolf King said. "If you don't have the courage to fight, why did you summon us here? Why don't you continue to hide under Biamba's cloak?"
Asalon was furious. The Green Wolf King dared to contradict him so rudely. According to the records of the Book of Governance, such ministers should be killed immediately, otherwise more ministers would challenge the king's majesty. Asalon
Just when he was about to get angry, the situation turned out to be very different from what he expected.
The Green Wolf King was looking directly at him, with no fear in his eyes.
The Gray Wolf King, the Red Wolf King and the Golden Wolf King were also looking directly at him, proving that these three wolf kings were on the side of the Green Wolf King.
The other wolf kings lowered their heads and remained silent, and it was difficult to see their attitudes clearly now.
The situation has become a little more delicate, and this defeat is shaking his rule.
Fortunately, there are still some people who maintain an attitude of absolute support for him, and Crescent Wolf King Turundu is one of them.
That's right, it's the local tyrant Turundu. He was once the great lord under the Black Wolf King. Because he surrendered to Asalon on his own initiative, he also brought him 5,000 direct troops (now there are only more than 3,000 left).
, so he was promoted to the Crescent Wolf King.
Turundu is different from other wolf kings. Although he is a purebred werewolf, he was educated in the Kingdom of Lane. His political thinking is closer to that of the Kingdom of Lane. He is not good at fighting, but he is very good at internal fighting.
There are a hundred ways to manipulate people, which is also the main reason why he can make a lot of wealth.
Seeing a group of wolf kings provoking the king's authority, Turundu thought it was time for him to stand up, but he would not fight against these wolf kings. That would be unwise and dishonorable.
"Your Majesty, I think we should not regard war as a simple advance, retreat, attack and defense. There are many reasons behind the defeat of this battle that we need to think about."
The Red Wolf King became a little annoyed when he heard the typical Lion Country tone.
"What do you think we should think about? Why can't we defeat the Black Wolf King? Because this is his territory, and he has brought his best army. If we continue to wander on the grassland, we will never be able to defeat him!"
"That's not what I want to say!" Turundo smiled, "To see the essence behind things, why is it that Biamba always knows where we are going, but we know nothing about him? I think that our army
