An army of more than 6,000 people is marching south at an extremely fast speed.
Richard rode a red flame horse with a black mane and a red body and walked at the front of the team.
The output of Red Flame Horses is not high. Only forty horses have been bred during this period. It is unrealistic to equip the army on a large scale.
For the time being, it can only be allocated to senior officers and nobles who have completely surrendered to Richard. Viscount Sauter and Richard's two uncles each also took one, and the rest continued to be kept in the stables.
"Speed up and get to the reserved location before dark!"
After leaving behind the cavalry, some auxiliary troops, and most of the senior personnel, Richard led his troops around lightly, passing through the reconnaissance of the Royal Griffin in the sky, cleverly avoiding the ogre's reconnaissance.
The light cavalry who stayed in place still tried their best to cover the battlefield in the northwest. There were still hundreds of auxiliary soldiers singing the empty city strategy at the place where they originally camped.
Unless the ogres attack in large numbers, relying on the kobolds' reconnaissance, even if the kobolds break through the cavalry blockade and come near the camp, it will be difficult to see through Richard's disguise from such a distance.
Of course, the worst result is that after the kobolds detect the location of the camp and send the information back, the ogres decide to destroy Richard's support army first.
By then the cavalry can still escape, but none of these auxiliary soldiers will be able to escape.
But by that time, Richard had already taken the main force and joined forces with Thor to complete the surprise attack on the ogre division.
As for the danger of leaving auxiliary troops behind, we can only say that Ci does not control troops...
…
"kill!"
"Fire oil, fire oil!, quick!"
At this time, Piaoxue City finally faced a real test. While the kobolds dyed the moat red with blood, they finally filled in a passage directly leading to the city wall.
The first mixed team of ogres and kobolds finally put up the ladder on the wall of Piaoxue City.
Unfortunately, the ogre who climbed the ladder first had his head poured over by boiling oil that had been boiling for a long time before he climbed halfway up the city wall, causing him to fall down painfully.
"Cannon truck, gun truck! Aim at the well fence and hit!"
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The sound of continuous stone throwing suppressed the shouts of death for a while.
The dense stones continuously hit the ogre and pushed them onto the manhole railing, directly causing the manhole column to collapse.
"oh!"
Seeing the most intimidating manhole railing being smashed by a cannon truck, the defenders on the city wall burst into cheers.
The city defense facilities of Piaoxue City are completely incomparable to those of Fort Hel.
The Lanster family is a military aristocrat, and Piaoxue City has been the base camp run by the Lanster family for generations. The complete city defense facilities surprised Grugesh who was watching the battle.
Forget about the moat, there are actually many pits along the city wall.
In addition to the manholes that were smashed by a large number of artillery vehicles with dense stones, there was also a manhole that fell into a pit just after it was pushed across the moat and could not retreat.
He was suddenly ignited by the fire arrows on the city wall and was about to reach the city wall.
"Woo, woo..."
As a low trumpet sounded, the ogre army that was still struggling to attack retreated like a tide.
This round of attack ended in an anticlimactic manner.
Only Grugesh's gloomy face was left, looking at the majestic city wall of Piaoxue City.
I have to admit that the capture of Fort Hel, which was relatively strong, made Grugesh a little inflated. He thought that he could easily capture Piaoxue City using the same tactics, but now he felt like he was riding a tiger.
"Continue to let the kobolds attack until all safe passages are explored!"
"Yes, my lord"
…
The night is dark
Richard led more than 6,000 coalition troops and quietly arrived at a place more than 20 miles east of Piaoxue City and set up camp after bypassing all ogre investigations.
The camp is now located in a place with terrain differences, mainly to block a certain amount of firelight and avoid being directly discovered by kobold scouts in the distance.
Because we were going to spend the night, the camp had to light up torches, but we tried to control the number of torches.
If there is no light at all in a camp of six thousand people, it will be a disaster for an army.
Richard scattered all the griffins and ordered them to kill all the kobolds that came close to prevent the kobolds who were investigating from discovering his secretly marching army.
Griffins have extremely strong night vision, and their eyes are as clear at night as during the day. All kobolds who may discover the coalition camp will have no chance of leaving alive.
Richard now has to deal with the information gap and time difference. Even if the kobolds don't go back in time and alert the ogres, it will only be the next day.
By the time the ogre reacts, Richard will probably have accomplished his strategic purpose.
In the dark night, most of the soldiers have fallen asleep,
Only Richard was still in his tent in the capital, looking at the candlelight and seeming to be thinking about something.
"There is no choice at all this time!"
Today is the beginning of a new week. He was traveling in a hurry during the day. It was only at night that Richard opened the system and started studying it.
Linzhong City itself is an auxiliary city, lacking functional buildings, and now there are no rare resources to build a fourth-level barracks. Nothing can be built this week. The depressed Richard can only recruit all the refreshed soldiers and close Linzhong City.
interface,
The situation at Stone Fortress is actually not much better. There is only one blacksmith shop left to build.
After Richard skillfully recruited the soldiers that were refreshed this week in Stonefort, he went to the construction interface to complete the construction of the blacksmith shop.
The function of the blacksmith shop has still changed slightly from what I remembered.
Function 1: Provide a rune ballista, which will automatically appear in the army after the war (free)
Function 2: Damaged treasures can be repaired after paying a certain price (the price depends on the value of the treasure and the damage)
Function 3: Ten sets of sophisticated equipment can be provided every week.
Richard cannot experiment with the first two functions now, but he has certain expectations for the rune ballista that can appear directly on the battlefield, and hopes that there will be some surprises.
The third function is a real benefit. Although I don’t know how sophisticated the equipment can be, based on the principle that the products produced by the system must be high-quality, Richard believes that these ten sets of equipment must be above the standard, at least.
It will not be worse than the cost-effective equipment produced by other ordnance factories.
Ten sets a week, add up to a lot and save money...
After repeated research, Richard couldn't find any new information and felt a little sleepy.
I also need to be mentally prepared for tomorrow's battle...
