A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 184. Chapter 184
The drizzle was falling, and the gloomy sky was full of gray dark clouds, pressing down gloomily, as if to crush the sky.
Although it was only a little drizzle, it fell on the body and was blown by the cold wind. The chill seemed to be immersed in the human bones, and the whole body was chilled through.
This is one of the countless small strongholds in the long border of Aaron Landis Northland, not big, just the size of a village.
An adobe observation tower stands on the ground, the highest point on the ground. Although the adobe observation tower was built of mud, it has been frozen to the extreme in the long cold winter.
The cold wind whizzed across the observation tower. The soldier who had stood on the adobe tower all morning shivered several times. He kept walking back and forth on the observation tower, stomping his feet, rubbing his hands, and letting him go. Warm yourself up.
These small strongholds or small fortresses built along the border are all for the defense of the northern Geshu country. Unlike Aaron Landis, which is vast and rich in resources and rich in resources, the Geshu country located in the northern mountains is rich in iron ore, but has food resources. Scarce, so every year when the winter is over and the domestic food is consumed, Geishu will attack Aaron Landis, plundering food, grass and population.
In other words, in the cold winter, Gaishu will not send troops. Although its soldiers are slightly more resistant to the cold than Aron Landis, it is also difficult to fight in the winter.
Therefore, the sentinel of Aaron Landis did not take his duties too seriously.
Anyway, in the past ten years, the Gasyrian kingdom has never invaded in winter, and this year will certainly not attack Aaron Landis at this time.
The sentry stamped his feet for a while, feeling that his feet were numb, and his feet were still cold, as if frozen in ice.
He couldn’t help sticking his head out of the observation deck, stretched his neck and looked down, complaining in his heart that his successor was not coming.
The next moment, when he was about to retract his head, his eyes suddenly straightened.
He opened his mouth wide, his eyes fixed in the distance.
In the hazy drizzle, a large number of white figures appeared on the distant horizon, surging in this direction.
Standing on a high place, you could vaguely see the familiar white plate armor on the cavalry who rushed here, and the pupils of the sentry suddenly shrank.
Without a word, he grabbed the cold hammer under his feet and rang the bronze bell hanging outside the observation deck.
He exhausted all his strength and shouted warnings to his colleagues.
“Enemy attack! Geshu people invaded!!”
Loud bells rang throughout the small stronghold, mixed with the roar of the sentry, and the very peaceful stronghold just now suddenly became chaotic.
Soon, the soldiers in black and red leather armor rushed out, shouted loudly, and summoned their subordinates to gather.
The sound of shouting, shouting, and the impact of iron blades one after another in this small stronghold.
Being on the border all the year round, the soldiers of the Northland Army are well-trained. They put on leather armor in a very short time, took up weapons, and gathered in front of their respective teams.
The sentry standing on the observation platform looked down at the hundreds of colleagues who had assembled, and then looked up at the Geishu cavalry that was getting closer and closer.
The ice-cold white plate armor in the drizzle was 2,000 people at a glance.
The sentry opened his mouth, but there was no sound from his throat.
Thinking of his elderly parents at home, his eye circles were slightly red.
He might… never return to his hometown to serve the elderly.
This thought flashed through his mind. He turned his head and glanced at the south. The next second, he suppressed the reluctance in his eyes, and anger and cruelty burst into the red eyes.
He pulled down the torch on the wall, got out of the observation deck, climbed up the wooden ladder outside, and climbed to the top of the observation tower.
The top of the watchtower is a basin-like design, covered with wooden boards and covered with a layer of rainproof tarpaulin.
Lift them all open, and the grease-soaked straw and firewood piled up at the top of the basin-shaped top are exposed.
The sentry threw the torch in his hand.
Soon, a thick black smoke rose slowly over the stronghold.
At the same time as the smoke rose, the shouts of killing also sounded in the stronghold.
Several sharp arrows came from below, hitting the sentry climbing outside the watchtower.
He fell from the air, his eyes wide open against the smoke rising in the air, showing a look of relief.
At the moment he fell heavily to the ground, an iron gun|pierced his body, and he closed his eyes forever in the splash of blood.
More than a dozen cavalry and hundreds of infantry fought against more than two thousand Geshu cavalry, the results can be imagined.
It was like a moth fighting a fire, and it was burned to death by the flames in an instant.
The attacking Geshu cavalry mercilessly killed all Aaron Landis in the stronghold, lit a fire, destroyed the stronghold, and rode away.
When the reinforcements came to this stronghold, they could only see the destroyed watchtower, the corpses everywhere, and the land that was stained reddish brown with blood…
This is just the beginning.
The forward cavalry of the Geshu army raged along the Aaron Landis border, destroying one after another small strongholds and small fortresses.
For a time, there were smoke and smoke on the border, and the Geshu cavalry moved fast and moved constantly, making it difficult for the Aaron Landis to grasp their whereabouts.
In the evening of this day, the setting sun on the horizon brightened the earth red.
Dark smoke rose slowly, horseshoe trampled the ground, and clouds of dust were lifted up.
The clash of the blades, laughter, and roar intertwined in the setting sun, and the cavalry of Geshu rushed into the stronghold arbitrarily, and the iron spear in their hands pierced the body of the Aaron Landis soldier.
The horse hooves of the steed under them stomped heavily on the body of the fallen Aaron Landis, and the screams of the other side only made them more happy.
A leading cavalry galloped with a gun through the chest of a soldier and nailed his whole person to the stone wall with the help of inertia.
Seeing the soldier pinned to the wall spitting blood and struggling in pain, he grinned and laughed triumphantly.
Just as he was laughing, suddenly, a cold light shot from the side, instantly submerged in his right eye and penetrated his head.
His next laugh was still stuck in his throat, and his pupils were already distracted, and he fell from the horse’s back with a grunt.
This is not the end.
After this Geshu cavalry was killed, immediately after that arrow were countless sharp arrows.
Arrows rained over the sky and the earth, and nearly a hundred Gaishul cavalry were shot down from the horse with only one face to face.
The panicked neighs of the horses one after another, the leading cover-said cavalry turned his head and his pupils suddenly dilated.
Countless horseshoes stepped on the ground, shaking the ground slightly.
In the sight of the captain of the captain, countless cavalry appeared on the horizon.
The Aaron Landis cavalry, wearing black and red leather armor, was dyed in the light of the setting sun, like a red torrent, surging here.
The flag was raised high in it, with a flame-like background, and when the flag fluttered, the golden lion seemed to roar in the flame.
The leader, dressed in silver and black armor, the crimson mane of a horse under him was fluttering in the wind, reflecting the setting sun, like a cluster of burning flames.
The familiar figure made the Geshu cavalry who were still wreaking havoc on the land of Aaron Landis a moment ago broke their hearts.
“black Knight!”
“No! It’s the black knight—”
“The devil of hell is here!”
The Geshu cavalry screamed in panic.
The black knight of hell.
The morale of the cavalry was vented.
The Aaron Landis Knight, who was so called by them, had a terrifying record on the battlefield like a devil, which made the Gestellers who heard this title frightened.
Why is this black knight in the Northland?
Didn’t it mean that he has been recalled to Wangcheng? !
Even the captain of the cavalry who was the commander of the forwards, his heart was beating violently because of fear at this moment.
He forced himself to calm down, and his eyes swept over the Aaron Landis cavalry rushing towards them.
The cavalry of Aaron Landis in sight is probably more than a thousand men, which is less than the cavalry he led, and he can lead his army to fight.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the captain of the Gaither cavalry swept his whole body, and his heart suddenly shook.
Several strongholds were destroyed in the past few days, and the forward cavalry team was in great momentum, but the appearance of the black knight suddenly suppressed the morale of the cavalry team.
He could even see the hesitant, panicked, and even fearful faces of the cavalry.
That does not work!
Isn’t this being timid before fighting!
The captain of the Gaither cavalry gritted his teeth fiercely.
If this continues, their cavalry phalanx will be penetrated and defeated instantly by the incoming Aaron Landis cavalry, and they will undoubtedly be defeated.
In this way, even if he saved his life and escaped back, what awaited him was the heavy punishment of being executed and the whole family being demoted to slavery.
He can’t lose, he must inspire the morale of the team.
The cavalry chief gritted his teeth and thought.
The black knight rushed forward, some distance from the cavalry behind him.
No matter how strong the black knight is, he is still a person. His hands are hard to beat with four punches. As long as he leads others with him, he will be able to defeat him if he is besieged when the cavalry behind is not catching up!
And as long as he defeats it, he can replace the prestige of this black knight and become famous all over the world from then on——
Feeling agitated and full of energy, the captain of the Geshu cavalry, who felt full of strength, gave an order and rushed up with the cavalry. Dozens of guards followed closely behind him.
It’s near!
Right in front of you!
It’s now!
The cavalry commander yelled, and the iron spear in his hand pushed forward with all his strength.
The other guards who surrounded him also stood up with their iron guns at the same moment.
More than a dozen long | guns stab the knight in black armor fiercely, making him inevitable, and he can pierce more than a dozen holes in his body.
The face of the cavalry commander even showed joy–
But the next second, he saw the heavy iron spear in the hands of the black knight rushing from the horse rushing forward, and all of the pierced tip of the spear was knocked away, including the iron spear in his hand. A huge force slammed to one side.
He hadn’t reacted yet, only saw a little silvery cold light coming in his sight.
Immediately afterwards, the eyes were dark.
He lost all consciousness.
The knight commander, whose forehead was pierced by the tip of the spear, could no longer see the blood blossoms that burst out of his eyes, and fell straight down from his horseback.
The horse that had lost its owner seemed to be greatly frightened and ran forward like crazy.
Then, the heavy pitch-black iron gun swept away forcefully, and that terrible force swept away several guards nearby.
In the next instant, the tip of the gun pierced through the bodies of the two people again.
With just one face, the black knight easily killed the captain of the Gaither cavalry.
Then, the Aaron Landis cavalry behind him chased him up.
The group of cavalry like a group of fierce hungry wolves rushed into the Gesu cavalry, and in an instant they pierced through the phalanx of the Gesu cavalry, crushing the group of Gesu cavalry who had collapsed because of the loss of commander-in-chief.
Although the number is dominant, the cover-up cavalry, who lacks the backbone, are already scattered in the sand. They can only fight each other instinctively, and are forced to retreat step by step by the angry and fierce Aaron Landis.
Especially the dark figure in the Gaishu cavalry who was repeatedly charged and killed, as long as the long |
Wherever he goes is where death descends.
The Geshu cavalry, frightened and killed by the black knight, was gradually defeated and began to flee in all directions.
The Aaron Landis cavalry unceremoniously chased after him.
As he watched his subordinates pursue him, Hiemos did not move. He stood on horseback, his silver-black armor was stained red with blood, and blood was still dripping down.
His gaze swept over the dead Aaron Landis soldier nailed to the wall, and swept over the destroyed stronghold and the corpses of hundreds of soldiers who died in battle in the stronghold.
The blood of the Aaron Landis people shed on the land of Aaron Landis.
The guards rode quietly behind Himos.
It was silent at this moment, and no one spoke.
The last flaming sunset on the horizon fell, and the earth was dark, just like the eyes of Heimos on horseback being shrouded in shadows.
…………
It was late at night, but the lights in the chamber of the North Fortress were still on.
The commander of the Northland Legion, the riding commander Heya stood by the table, frowning while looking at the map spread out on the table.
Huimos lowered his eyes, standing on one side, his eyes swept across the map.
There are several red crosses drawn on the map, which are small strongholds and fortresses destroyed by the raid guerrilla cavalry along the border.
“It is now certain that the Geshurs waged a war in the winter.”
Heya said in a deep voice, “Moreover, judging from the scale of their troops, the Geshu people are not small.”
This evening, they received a lot of important news from the captives of the Geshu soldiers who had been captured alive by Prince Huimos in the evening.
“A hundred thousand army…A hundred thousand army!”
A fist hit the table hard with a loud bang.
Heya looked solemn, anger burst into his eyes, and directly swearing.
“Guide what the hell people want to do!”
The entire Northland Army Corps is fully budgeted, with only more than 60,000 people.
In the beginning of the spring of previous years, the Geshurs who came to Aaron Landis to plunder supplies would only mobilize 30,000 or 40,000 people at most.
The 100,000 army can almost be said to cover all the forces that can be mobilized except for staying behind.
And the Geshurs suddenly poured all the power of the whole country and sent out a large army to attack Aaron Landis at this time…
…………
The last time the Gessy attacked Aaron Landis with all his troops, it happened more than a decade ago, in the tragic war that nearly killed Aaron Landis.
Hea couldn’t help feeling chills when he thought of this.
“Emergency military report, the highest level! Give me the fastest delivery to your Majesty’s Royal Front!”
It was still late at night, dozens of cavalry galloped out from the fortress in the north.
They separated quickly and swiftly rushed towards the direction of the king’s city along different roads.
At the same moment, on the high tower of the fortress, dozens of white doves were also released, flapping their wings and flying towards the south.
…………
………………
The wind howled, blowing from the northwest of Aaron Landis’s Northland Fortress, and it came through Tasda.
The farther north, the northerly wind gets stronger and the weather gets colder.
The fine snow flew slowly and slowly fell on the dark brown ground.
After passing Tasda country, it passes through several small countries to the north.
The Sidar kingdom there has been destroyed in the flames of war.
Coming from the more distant northwest, the iron hoof that brought blood and war had traveled across the land of this small country in just ten days, and was swallowed together with another neighboring country next to it.
However, the behemoth of ice and snow from the far north would not be satisfied, it continued to move towards the southeast.
Passing through the land of Sidar Kingdom that has been swallowed, from the heavy snow of goose feathers to the place where little snow flies.
This is the border between Kanal and Sidar.
The prince wearing silver-white armor was riding a horse on the endless plain, his icy purple eyes looked at the rich land that was about to be trampled by his iron hoof.
The flames of war that burned from the cruel northern land is about to burn to the land of Kanal.
