"This time is probably about two days." Chris pushed the water cup to the edge of Mayne Castle and said to Wageron: "Here, our troops gather together and can gather a total force of 1,000 people to attack directly.
Enter the castle and end the battle."
Wageron nodded and assured with confidence: "Our cavalry can complete the mission, launch a surprise attack, and eliminate 200 enemies without any problem."
Then he pointed to Fukou City on the map and said to Chris: "We have artillery, and we can expect to capture Fukou City."
"The question now is, how can we stop the lord of Ferry City, Berman, from escaping with his fleet!" Wagron looked at the map, frowned and continued.
"No matter!" Chris slapped the table and said bitterly through gritted teeth: "It doesn't matter whether they run away or not! I will definitely fight Ferry City!"
"This is not a strategic issue, but a moral issue! I don't care about plundering the people! If it were me, I would do the same thing! But harming the people is the original sin! It is a sin that we must fight against!" His hand was on
He clenched his fists on the table and said firmly.
"My subordinate understands!" Wagron's eyes lit up when he heard what Chris said. He immediately clenched his fist with his right hand and pressed it on his chest, and loudly echoed: "My subordinate, go and assemble the troops now!"
The attack must be carried out, but how to carry it out requires careful planning. Once Siris cannot end the battle quickly, pressure from other aspects will increase. The safety of the base camp Siris City cannot be guaranteed.
.
The total number of troops in Chris's hands is actually not large. There are only 2,000 people in total. About 1,000 of them are garrison troops who remain in Seris and cannot be moved easily.
The mobility of these left-behind troops is low, and the speed of their assembly will actually slow down the attack speed of the main force. Therefore, there is no essential difference whether they can be transferred or not.
Among the remaining troops, there are about 500 cavalry and the remaining 500 infantry. Now that Mayne has just been captured, it may not be safe to leave 300 troops, so the only troops Chris can mobilize are pitiful.
of 700 people.
He must rely on these 700 people to fight the Lord Berman of Ferry City quickly. Otherwise, forces from other directions in Seris City may take the opportunity to launch an attack and take military action against Seris.
Once someone really attacks Seris, then this battle will not be a great victory, but a complete defeat.
It seems very impossible to achieve a quick victory with inferior troops, but Chris must do it.
"This is an adventure!" Wagron looked at the map and finally said to Chris: "If the opponent adopts the most correct harassment tactics, spreads out the troops, and delays our march... we will lose."
"If Fukou City gathers its troops and fights us head-on, we will win with the artillery!" Chris gave another possibility.
Chris is very optimistic about this gamble: "They have a military advantage, but they don't understand how powerful our secret weapon is. Why don't they fight us decisively?"
"You lead 200 cavalry and 50 infantry to maintain law and order in Mayne Castle! I will personally lead 450 infantry and 300 cavalry to the ferry!" Chris set a policy of quick victory and decided to lead the troops himself.
After hearing this, Wageron immediately stopped him and said, "Sir! You stay in Mayne! Let me lead the troops!"
It wasn't that Chris couldn't trust Wageron, but he felt that he could better implement his strategy by conquering it himself. He waved his hand and said to Wageron: "It's also a great achievement for you to watch the rear for me! This time
Going to Fukou City cannot rely solely on bravery, but also requires decision-making on the spot. Some decisions are impossible for you to make, so I must go in person!"
Hearing what Chris said, Wageron also knew the stakes of the matter, nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely guard Mayne and ensure that everything is safe here!"
With Waggron guarding his rear, Chris could safely lead his troops out of Mayne.
Chris, who only brought cavalry with him, advanced very quickly, and 300 cavalry blew across the plains east of Mayne like a whirlwind.
He handed over all the baggage and 20 cannons to Wageron's adjutant Coria, and led the cavalry to march eastward quickly, arriving at the junction of Ferry City and Mayne in only one day and one night.
Looking at the sun rising in the east, Chris narrowed his eyes. The sunlight at this moment was not good for his attack, but he couldn't wait any longer.
"Pass my order! Rest on the spot for 20 minutes! Then assemble the entire army! Attack the ferry!" Chris gave the rest order to the guards following him, then he got off his horse and found a clean place to sit down.
.
What he saw along the way was all kinds of miserable conditions in Mayne. The houses left behind by the abducted civilians were empty. There were corpses and messy discarded utensils and clothes everywhere on the ground and on the roadside.
Mayne, which was still relatively prosperous, suddenly became a hell on earth, which made Chris's hatred towards the Lord of Ferry City rise to an explosive level.
Even Ensel, the Lord of Mayne City whom he killed, did not do things so decisively. This Berman was really a "talent" in a sense!
After swallowing a few cold water from his pocket, Chris felt that he was full of energy again. He stood up from the ground, got on the back of the horse, pulled the reins of the horse, pointed ahead and asked the soldiers who were looking at him loudly
People: “Have you rested yet?”
"Get some rest!" Seeing their commander getting on the horse, many cavalrymen had already returned to their horses. They answered Chris's question with loud voices, waiting for Chris's new order.
"Follow me to kill the enemy!" Chris pulled the reins and made the horse spin on the spot, neighing and heading towards the east.
"Kill the enemy!" Behind him, countless cavalrymen held their long lances high, clamped their legs under the horse's belly, and killed them in the direction of the rising sun with bright armor.
…
The sun had just risen, and a soldier from Fukou City yawned lazily. They were exhausted from the past few days, as they were escorting and transporting tens of thousands of civilians.
If you don't find an opportunity to be lazy, how can you live up to yourself? What's more, Mayne may be calling in a few days, and it will be impossible to be lazy by then.
While covering his mouth with his hand, he subconsciously glanced at the western horizon, which was still shrouded in darkness, and then frowned involuntarily.
Squinting his eyes, the Ferry City soldier saw something moving on the horizon.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and stared at the end of the road carefully again. This time he became more and more sure that there were cavalry approaching over there!
"Hey! Hey! There is an enemy!" He kicked the companion next to him with his toes, waking up another companion who had fallen asleep: "Maine, we are coming!"
"Impossible! They are fighting with Siris. Where are the soldiers looking for trouble for us?" On the watchtower, another soldier was unwilling to open his eyes and answered in a voice that sounded like he was talking in his sleep.
"No! They are real cavalry!" As the cavalry got closer and closer, the awake Dukou City soldier became hysterical. He kept kicking his companions and shouting loudly.
The other party finally couldn't bear it any longer. He got up from the ground, held his weapon and looked at the brighter western horizon, and found that a group of cavalry was really galloping towards them.
For a moment, he lost all sleep, and the soldier who had just gotten up was also scared out of his wits. He didn't know that the same scene had already happened on the Seris border a few days ago.
"Quick! Light the beacon!" Looking at the cavalry rushing towards them, the soldiers from Dukou City shouted anxiously. He felt that the high platform under his feet was shaking, and he also felt that his legs were moving with the movement.
The buttocks were vibrating constantly.
Just when they lit the beacon fire, the cavalry had already walked around the city and crossed the small beacon tower.
Chris didn't come here to remove these small beacon towers. What he wanted was to attack the entire border area of Dukou City and force the opponent into Dukou City.
Therefore, he never thought about attacking these beacon towers, and just left these small targets to the infantry behind him to take care of them.
What he has to do now is to quickly sweep across the border of Dukou City, kill the soldiers, and drive the civilians out of the village!
The smoke spread all the way, and the direction of Fukou City responded quickly. A group of infantrymen gathered together, seemingly wanting to block Chris' advance.
After all, the soldiers of Ferry City had just escorted tens of thousands of Mayne civilians back to their own territory and had not had time to disperse.
A team of 200 people stood on the road, blocking the way of Chris's cavalry.
Chris, who had been chasing scattered enemy troops and killing them all morning, had no intention of stopping. He reorganized his troops slightly and immediately launched an attack.
The infantry phalanx without enough bows and arrows just got mixed up with the cavalry and turned into a huge millstone of flesh and blood.
Chris rode on horseback and rushed straight into the enemy's square, surrounded by guards.
His long sword swung in an arc, cutting down an enemy infantryman passing by. The huge impact of the war horse drove the sharp sword, tearing apart the thin armor from bottom to top, tearing apart the flesh and blood inside.
.
Before the enemy soldier fell down with a scream, Chris's horse had already knocked away the other two enemies and left without looking back.
The Siris cavalry following Chris slashed left and right, as if they were in no one's land. Their armor was spattered with blood, and they looked like devils from hell in the eyes of the enemy. These were following him.
The knights formed a huge meat grinder, devouring the lives of surrounding enemies.
In just one breath, the arrows they formed cut a huge gap in the enemy's position. Then in the next second, more cavalry poured into the gap, like a virus spreading on the wound.
After deflecting a spear that was stabbing him, Chris broke the barrel of the spear with his backhand, and then pierced the throat of the soldier holding the spear. He drew out the sword in one go and continued to move forward.
His lips were still slightly pale, his eyes were still as sharp as needles, and his not-so-tall but well-proportioned body passed through the blood mist, carrying an indomitable momentum——
