Javelins, arrows, these long-range weapons shot out in beautiful arcs from the hands of the horse archers running side by side with Sinda, and landed in Sinda's cavalry team.
Sindar could only lead the cavalry to block the left side with their shields to block the incoming weapons. They were unable to fight back because they could not catch up with the faster-moving light cavalry. He would chase after him at the first sign.
Those cavalry will move accurately to keep a good distance from him.
With their shields and armors, the arrows of the light cavalry could not cause much damage to them, but the war horses under their crotches were different. The light cavalry did not expect their arrows to kill the knights. They aimed at more
They are the horses of the cavalry.
Sitting sideways on the horse, he drew his bow and shot a sharp arrow. The arrow crossed the distance between the two armies, and then hit the unprotected leg of a war horse. The war horse immediately fell down.
, and the knight on him fell down directly, and was trampled to death by the knights behind him who could not stop and had no room to dodge.
From time to time, Sinda's troops would have their horses fall down. This situation did not stop until Ronan's light cavalry fired all their arrows and were almost approaching the mountains near Busengue Castle. The light cavalry who were not pursuing the pursuit turned around.
Turning back, Sinda could only grit her teeth and return to Fort Busengue with more than a third of her troops destroyed.
Seeing the cavalry returning in embarrassment, the guards at the city gate quickly opened the gate. Fort Bussenge was too small, so Sinda could only ask most of the cavalry to wait outside the door, and he entered the castle with some of his cronies.
In the castle, Mayweather was discussing the next plan and attack route with the officers. When he saw Xinda, who was covered in blood and had an arrow in the shoulder, Mayweather frowned and asked:
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Sorry, Your Majesty, I failed to live up to your expectations and failed to wipe out the fleeing enemy troops. When I was about to defeat them, Roderite suddenly appeared with a huge cavalry and attacked us fiercely from the side.
, we were hit hard immediately without any precautions, and I could only evacuate with the troops!
I failed to fulfill your orders and caused losses to the troops, and I am willing to accept the punishment!"
Xinda lowered her head and said in a dull voice. Mayweather frowned deeply again and said:
"That's it. It seems that we fell into a trap. Roderite must have wanted to annihilate us all before he asked his men to abandon the defense of the city and lure us to pursue them. You were able to escape with a large force and didn't let his conspiracy succeed.
, you have done a great job, but it is true that you failed to complete the task. In this case, go to the military camp and receive twenty lashes yourself!
Before we go, let’s talk about how many people there are in the enemy army, what is their composition, and what is their strength?”
"Thank you for your grace. Due to the emergency situation, I was unable to find out the number of enemies, but it is estimated that there will be no less than 1,500 people. They are all cavalry, and more than 70% of them are well-equipped heavy cavalry.
What's left is a group of very troublesome horse archers, very slippery. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have suffered these losses.
Our cavalry equipment is too heavy, and the horses are not as good as ours. We can't catch up with those cavalry. We can only let them use bows and arrows to kill us at a distance, which is very troublesome. If we want to defeat Roderet, then I think we must find a way to solve these problems.
Archers, otherwise, whether they are infantry or cavalry, they will cause a lot of damage to us.
I found no trace of the enemy infantry. Calculating the time, they should have just arrived here, and they should have left the infantry behind and the cavalry marched over as fast as possible!"
Xinda immediately thanked Mayweather and said that he could easily bear twenty lashes, and Mayweather didn't even think about punishing him. After all, he was an old subordinate who had followed him for many years, and
The two are also somewhat related by blood.
"That's it. It seems that Roderite is very confident. The large army did not keep up, but when the cavalry came, he actually dared to abandon the city and plan to ambush us. But I want to see how he can use less than 3,000 people at most.
The cavalry troops are fighting me. We ignore them and continue the attack directly. Based on the speed of the cavalry and infantry, it is not certain whether his infantry can arrive before we attack Starfall City all the way.
Send the order and rest for the night. We will continue to march south tomorrow morning. They only have so few people. How can they stop us? If they don't attack difficult-to-attack cities along the way, we will approach Starfall City all the way! There is no more dangerous place to defend in front of us, Luo
Since Derit has despised us, we will make him pay the price!"
After looking at the map, Mayweather said, Ronan abandoned the city and did not defend it. In Mayweather's opinion, he obviously looked down upon him. He now especially wants to know where Ronan came from to be confident that he could deal with a force almost ten times his.
of oneself.
On the other side, Ronan also led his troops to the city where Jevitt went before, Davos, which is about a day's journey south of Fort Bussenge. It is also a rare large city in this area and is surrounded by huge
The grassland is an important livestock breeding base here, with strong economic and military significance.
The city gate opened, and Ronan slowly walked into the city with the cavalry. Knowing that Ronan was coming, the lord of the city immediately came out to greet him in person. Finally, he met Ronan on the road and took Ronan to Da.
Within the city of Voss.
"Your Majesty, there is sufficient food in the city, but there are not many guards. Most of the soldiers were recruited by Lord Zach before, leaving only less than 200 people to maintain law and order. I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with Mayweather's army."
Upon Ronan's inquiry, the Lord of Davos City, Grind, immediately replied. His reply was not beyond Ronan's expectations. After all, it was him who had given the order to deploy garrison troops from various cities.
"It doesn't matter. Since I asked Aldridge to give up defending Fort Bussenge, I have no intention of continuing to defend. We will defeat them here, drive them back to their kennels, and then dismantle their kennels!"
"
Ronan laughed and said. Grind and Jewett were both a little confused and asked cautiously:
"But Your Majesty, intelligence shows that the total number of Mayweather's troops is nearly 30,000, and the cavalry of various types alone is nearly 5,000. There are also many brave and capable sand people among them. We only have less than 4,000 people. How can we defeat them?"
?”
"Since I dare to do this, I am confident. How to defeat them is what I need to worry about. The two of them only need to maintain the people in the rear and provide logistical supplies. Mayweather will definitely not
If we continue to delay, they should leave Busenguet Fort tomorrow, and we will stop them at the mouth of the valley south of Busenguet Fort!"
Ronan naturally saw the worries of the two lords, but he was still confident.
