King’s Kingdom - Chapter 308
Such a battle-hardened and experienced royal family certainly cannot be absent from this war. In fact, he is now the second most brilliant general in the entire Milos Kingdom.
The first is Beauliet Khan.
Leading 8,000 prairie light cavalry to perform tasks behind enemy lines, this is a very difficult and very important duty.
If you want to take on this important task, you must have enough courage, a very precise strategic vision, and the ability to make decisive decisions.
If you don’t have enough courage and are scared and shivering, then don’t think about any task, just be scared to death and fight.
Strategic vision is also very important, because Theodosius and Beauliet Khan just briefly reminded him of his purpose this time, and what difficulties he will encounter, and probably where there will be more enemies, but these can only be For reference, he had to sift through the intelligence gathered in the enemy’s territory to speculate on dangers and opportunities.
As for the ability to decide, that’s what you need for the harassment mission later on. You have to know when to go to harass and when to withdraw after a single hit.
If you don’t master this well, it’s okay to leave early, but the effect is not good, and there are no major consequences, but if you leave late and get stuck by others, it will be a nightmare.
The light cavalry has no advantage in the face of the infantry. These can only be said to be able to ride horses, and the riding skills are still passable, but there is no advantage in physical fitness, the weapons are not good enough, and the light cavalry who have lost their speed are killed by the infantry. Encirclement and suppression, that is, trapping oneself and sending it to the butcher.
With so many requirements, only Eurobis was the only one under Borret Khan who met the standard.
Now his task is to carry out the final stage, which is to harass the enemy’s ranks.
He divided the 8,000 light cavalry into eight parts, each of a thousand men, and the thousand were to be scattered to harass the front and rear of the enemy line, of which four were assigned to the rear of the line .
Because in the rear of the army, is the grain transport team walking with the army.
Although the news painting of the Northern Empire spread slowly, it did not mean that Tambadri was blind and deaf.
He knew that an enemy army was wreaking havoc in his own country and targeting food.
So he also made people take precautions. At first, he planned to send an army of 6,000 soldiers to protect the food delivery team, but later he was annoyed and found that his behavior was almost unnecessary.
Because his army’s marching speed has actually slowed to the point where it is the same speed as the food delivery team.
It was a huge team of more than 4,000 donkeys, horses, mules and carts, pulling the heavy food, and it was as fast as the marching speed!
Tambadri was very annoyed by this, but he had no choice but to order the army to stop temporarily, and recruit donkeys, horses and mules from the people, and recruit transport drivers, and then reluctantly loaded all the food into the wagon and followed. The large army began to march.
This time, Tambadri made a lot of money. A total of more than 18,000 mules, horses, donkeys and carts were recruited to transport food. There were more than 18,000 drivers in the army alone. The consumption rate is much higher.
He has used almost all his strength, and even the people are full of resentment against him.
The better way to say it is to mobilize private carriages and coachmen, but if it doesn’t sound right, isn’t that just robbing the carriage and enlisting in the army and robbing people’s property?
Not to mention how much impact these 18,000 donkeys, horses and mules will have, will the following officials take advantage of this opportunity to benefit themselves?
That’s obviously impossible, Tambadri knew exactly what the virtues of those people were.
It is unknown how much of the public grievances in the royal family’s territory are simply caused by the expedition of carriages.
Such a long string of carriages is even longer than the marching queue. Although there are more soldiers, usually two or three people walk side by side, but the carriages can only travel one after another, and the length is longer. It is long, so the grain transportation team is longer than the marching team, which is quite like a mouse pulling a shovel.
Under the command of Eurobis, the light cavalry on horseback approached the enemy quietly. With his order, the thousand people he personally led directly launched a shocking charge and charged towards the army column.
“The gods are above! There are enemies! There are enemies!”
“Help!”
“Ah ah ah ah ah!”
“How can we meet the enemy here!”
“Damn! Follow my instructions! Don’t mess up!”
The light cavalry were still a hundred or two hundred meters away from the parade, and confusion had already appeared in the parade.
Some people were stunned, kneeling on the ground and praying frantically, and some people ran loudly for help, but unintentionally led to even greater confusion.
There were also people lying on the ground and holding their heads, screaming incessantly.
Some people’s brains are blank, and they run around in panic.
Of course, these people were conscripts recruited from among the civilians everywhere.
After seeing the arrival of the light cavalry, the real professional troops quickly took out their weapons, and after hearing the voice of the commander, they found their comrades and returned to the army, ready to fight at any time.
It’s just a pity that because of the sudden incident, they didn’t have time to wear armor at all. They were only wearing armed clothes, or just ordinary clothes. Many people didn’t have spears in their hands and could only hold long swords. against the enemy.
Eurobis smiled slightly when he saw this, and this was what he wanted. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
The small number of regulars reacting quickly was of no use, as the roaming conscripts kept them out of formation.
Of course, it’s useless even if you can line up, even if you’re not riding a warhorse, these light cavalry are so fast that they can reach a distance of more than 100 meters in six or seven seconds. Is the array completed in a short period of time? Obviously not possible.
Sure enough, these light cavalrymen rushed over to cut off the marching troops. The thickness of the formation of four or five people was really too thin. Even light cavalrymen riding ordinary grassland horses could pierce through them. If they were placed in front of heavy cavalry It is as fragile as paper.
Overrunning the formation often brought casualties, these light cavalry armed with saber and spear, slaughtering the enemy frantically.
They do not have the unparalleled ability to break formations like the Lanyin Knights, nor are they multi-functional arms like the Prairie Hussars. They are good at rushing, harassing and chasing, but they cannot form an array in the face of them, and they are mixed with a large number of troops. The enemies of the mob, they still have an advantage.
These light cavalry did not charge very densely, but formed a wedge-shaped formation with a width of about 30 meters. Behind the array, you could reach hundreds of meters, which could cause greater casualties to the enemy.
