Conquest

    Chapter 68 [Kekkan]

    Shaar ran wildly in the north, and he didn't know how far he ran in one breath, until the chasing soldiers in the back gradually drifted away. In the end, even those who shouted and screamed and couldn't hear it, and his heart was slightly relieved.

    Fortunately, the mana in the ring did not consume light. Since the chasing of the chase, Shaar was reluctant to use the ring again, and took it carefully and carefully into his arms. This kind of good thing can be saved.

    As soon as he stopped, Shaar found a lie in a low-lying pit. He slammed his tongue and gasped his tongue. Only with the help of the Wind Magic ring, Shaar himself used his life to run, otherwise he would catch up. That is the end of the chaotic edge of the corpse…At this moment, when I stopped, I felt that the lungs seemed to be on fire, and almost the gas pipe burst open.

    Lying in the pit, Shaar was so tired that he couldn't move his fingers. This state lasted for about a meal, and he barely stood up.

    Once again experienced that crimson color murderous aura, red light shrouded in the whole body, but also as last time, Shaar whole body injury disappeared instantly, repeated before the attack on their own damage caused by the moment was crimson light smoothed, Even the shoulder was cut a sword, even the armor was cut, Battle ki Fry Open, the shoulder has been blown bloodied, even the bones have broken, but now touch up, but has been rapid healing, but the original wound in the flesh and blood slightly red just.

    Shaar thought for a moment with his head.

    (damn it, this is a trick. Instantly heal the wound, and can also kill the defensive defensive…If such a trick is displayed, is it not invincible? )

    Shaar held the spar in the palm of his hand and only felt that its surface was restored to the gray, but it seemed to be slightly different.

    Closer look at the front, it really is like this. The surface of the crystal is still as gray as an ordinary stone, but when you look closely, it seems that some small thin red silky lines appear on the crystal. The red silk is thinner than the hair and sparsely distributed in the spar. The surface layer is not much…just like……

    It's like people don't sleep for a long time, the blood on the eyeball is the same, but the number is much less, and the bloodshot volume is more subtle. If you don't look close, you can't see it.

    I remember that I saw this stone in the past, and there is no such strange change. Is it because of the mistaken use of this strange crimson light, caused by the mistake of the stone?

    Then, if you use it a few times later, will this stone become pure red?

    Use it a few more times…

    Shaar couldn't help but smile.

    Two red rays saved myself, but now I don’t know how to use this kind of thing correctly. The last killer is powerful, but…It is not something that can be easily triggered by myself.

    It seems that every time it is played half-dead, all over the body, and life and death are suspended in the line, it will trigger the crimson light of the stone.

    This…This approach is too dangerous!

    If you encounter this dangerous situation again the following time, the stone does not break out of the crimson light and let yourself use the trick. Isn't that dead?

    After a short break, Shaar recovered some physical strength. Although his hands and feet were still a bit sour, his body was almost as strong as human beings. In a moment, his physical strength recovered from two to three percent. He stood up and looked at the surrounding environment. After identifying the direction, I decided to continue north.

    Although it is safest to meet the general forces of General Adrick in the south – but there are those chasing the Caribou Cavalry in the south, and if they go south, they will meet the Odin people first. Can't count on the crimson light that was not working at that time, save yourself once, only to go north…Catch up with Kevin them.

    Well, Kevin, the bald man, they should have joined the third Flag Battalion now…

    Just as Shaar was heading north, in the northern part of the Albacott plains, Kevin had indeed joined the third Flag Battalion.

    Kevin took the three hundred cavalry out of the battlefield under the cover of Shaar and continued to march northward. There was another interception on the road. It was still a team of Caribou Cavalry. After forcible interception, there were only two hundred cavalry left. about.

    Just around noon, Kevin finally saw the third Flag Battalion led by the silver-haired man Butler.

    The third Flag Battalion was a light-riding force under the thirteen cavalry Army. When Kevin arrived, the third Flag Battalion was in a difficult position.

    Here is a special terrain, on both sides of the mountains all over the woods, although the slope is not high, only about four or five meters of appearance, but it is very unsuitable for cavalry combat, and the middle of the slope, about two hundred or three hundred meters wide flat terrain-such flat terrain is too narrow, Odin As long as people with a small amount of infantry in the narrow terrain into a thick array, it is enough to make cavalry can not rush through.

    After all, the third Flag Battalion is not a heavy armor, and the thick queue of positive forcing the enemy is not the best way to fight them.

    When Kevin arrived, the third Flag Battalion had already fallen into a hard battle. The flag-bearer Butler gathered the troops on a hillside and used the narrow break to defend the defense.

    They have been fighting here for a night, the third Flag Battalion loss is not light, the two thousand people have only more than 1,300 cavalry, almost half of the injuries.

    Butler almost repented of his intestines. He was originally a pioneer, carrying out a power search and clearing the way for the big forces behind.

    But last night, he met Caribou Cavalry of the Odin, who had a small share. After the opponent, the Odin dropped more than a hundred bodies and stepped back. Butler was eager to expand the battle and pursue it. At night, the line of sight was not good. He was lured into the dangerous terrain by the Odin. When he reacted, it was too late to quit.

    This is clearly a trap. The Odin people just paid attention and ate the third Flag Battalion as a pioneer.

    The narrow terrain of the cavalry rushed out, Butler immediately made a decision, retreated on a hillside, and at dawn, he finally determined that the siege of his Odin has a legion, about 20,000 people around the Odin Army, the hillside surrounded, Butler tried to take people out, Two breakouts, cavalry from the hillside, with the help of the power of the sprint, a glimpse of the short killing of the Odin people step back, but after all, the Odin people gathered too many troops, in this narrow terrain, as long as the formation of a thick infantry array, only more than 1000 cavalry Butler simply couldn't penetrate the other side's camp-it was like a rusty blunt knife that couldn't pierce the thick flesh fast.

    After two breakouts, the 13th Army's cavalry were not brave, but left and right, and had to be forced to return to the hillside. If they retired a little later, they would not even have the chance to retreat to the slope. People are on the battlefield!

    When Kevin took the soldiers, he looked at the dense array of Odin people on the slopes, which made the scalp numb. He only had two hundred cavalry. It was really difficult to rush to the rescue. Two hundred people rushed into the camp of 20,000 people. I was afraid that they would be cleaned in less than a moment.

    But then Kevin found a strange phenomenon – his two hundred cavalry troops were quickly discovered as soon as they entered the area. Butler on the mountain saw the arrival of the reinforcements, gathered all the power to organize again. Breaking out, more than a thousand cavalry under the swearing charge, actually killed the hillside, and smashed a bloody road in the Odin's interception!

    In the narrow terrain under the hillside, dead bodies are everywhere, Odin people flooded like tides, and Butler led the cavalry to charge, and the Odin people retreated as tides.

    In this case, Kevin had no choice but to rush to the hard-eared belt to rush into the array of Odin people. Although it was terrible, Kevin had a doubt in his heart…

    The resistance of these Odin people seems to be far less powerful than imagined!

    The two armies soon met on the battlefield, and then tried to quickly move back and forth from the battlefield to retreat to the south and join the big forces.

    Thousands of people shouted and smashed the sky, crowded in this narrow, low-lying terrain hundreds of meters wide. When the two cavalry just joined together, there was a dull horn on the distant hillside. Sound!

    The voice was thick and solemn, and the Odin warriors who were still trying to stalk around, suddenly retreated as they rushed to the sides, and quickly got out of contact with Byzantine cavalry.

    "They let us go?"Kevin gave birth to such a doubt.

    At the moment the third flag Battalion of the flag Officer Butler has been full of blood, armor on at least seven or eight broken, shoulders also inserted a arrows, helmet is long gone, he and Kevin converged together, watching the surrounding Odin people retreat, this silver man hard wipe the blood on his face, The face suddenly changed: "Bad, we fell for it!" ”

    Odin's infantry quickly retreated, and the woods on the hillsides on both sides quickly rushed out of the team's Caribou Cavalry!

    These Caribou Cavalry have already recharged and recharged in the woods for a whole night, watching a team of Caribou Cavalry madly rushing down the slopes on both sides of the slope, Butler’s eyes flashed The tragic smell, snoring: "Go south! All go south! ! Rush out of this canyon! ! ”

    But it is already late! !

    Caribou Cavalry on both sides pours down the momentum of the downhill, and soon entangled in the Cavalry of Byzantine, biting their back team!

    Entangled! The Odin's tactics are simple. They are biting the Cavalry of Byzantine and don't give them a chance to breathe!

    After the breakout, Byzantine's cavalry queue has been completely scattered, and in the case of a sideback, there is no chance to get a breather to stop and form a queue for a counter-attack.

    In this way, more than a thousand cavalry were chased by the Odin's Caribou Cavalry, and there was a layer of informalion in front of it, and a cold arrow on the hillside with bow and arrow hands…

    Kevin has never played such a shackle! He knows that if it is a face-to-face confrontation, one of the most elite cavalry of the Byzantine Empire will definitely face the Caribou Cavalry of these Odin people!

    But…But now I have turned around! ! !

    Can't turn around! !

    Cavalry To form an effective kill, you must have a formation impact! Now in the chaos of the army, being chased by the enemy, and biting his own back team, there is no chance to breathe. Once stopped, there will be a large number of Odin infantry around. Without stopping, you can't get rid of the Caribou Cavalry.

    The Caribou Cavalry in the back is like a knife, and the queue of Byzantine cavalry is cut off layer by layer!

    On the far side of the hillside, under a huge cowhide squat, a tall figure stood there, behind him, a huge chair made of some kind of animal bone, covered with a thick layer. Black fur blanket.

    This man has a typical Odin's tall physique, a large shoulder and a majestic body, full of explosive power, with a bear helmet on his head, a gray fur coat, and no weapons in his hand. Instead, holding a small flag.

    Compared to the rough skin of the ordinary Odin, this guy's skin is too white, as if with a morbid appearance, a pair of Odin's rare green eyes are staring at the distance under the mountain. Battle.

    Behind him, there are dozens of tall Odin warriors, each of whom is more than two meters tall. Each of these Odin warriors is wearing a thick bear skin, only hanging armor on the chest. With a short axe, each Odin warrior knits his long hair into a dense whip. This kind of costume is the famous "Axe Warrior" among the Odin people!

    The Odin man in front of the head wearing a bear helmet took back his eyes and a slight, disdainful smile on his lips.

    “Hey, the famous Rhodelia Cavalry Army is just that.”

    He smiled a little, suddenly stretched out his arm, and with a black hoop on his arm, he heard a bright eagle in the air, a vulture with gray feathers falling on it. On his arm.

    The Odin man extended his finger and gently clicked on the eagle's head, and then he took out a bloody strip of meat from his pocket and sent it to the eagle's mouth.

    "Oh ?"Adric should bring someone over here…Ha ha

    There was a smug smile in his eyes, but without waiting for his smile to fully bloom, he heard a hoof in his back.

    A Caribou Cavalry rushed to the height of more than ten meters, jumped over and jumped up, slammed up and squatted on the ground.

    "What happened?"This Odin person frowned.

    Caribou Cavalry is a burly Odin big man, but at the moment his face is full of fear and his body trembles: "Premier Kekkan Lord, you, your brother…"

    Kekkan raised an eyebrow: "What happened to him?"

    "Your brother is dead! He died in the hands of a Byzantine cavalry…We, we tried to chase the murderer, but…"

    Said, this Odin Caribou Cavalry closed his mouth, because he saw Kekkan's eyes on his face, Kekkan's eyes were sharp, and a burst of chilling light burst!

    Caribou Cavalry's body couldn't stop tremble – remembering that such an important person actually died in his own team, I was afraid…

    Just as the fear of this cavalry was extremely extreme, the expected Thunder anger did not fall.

    Kekkan seemed to be silent, but then his face showed a strange smile.

    "Oh ?"My dear younger brother, is he dead? Oh, this is an interesting news. For our Odin warriors, it is a rare glory to die on the battlefield. ”

    These two words seem to have no anger, and even a tone with a gentle and feminine taste – because of this, familiar with the Kekkan Lord's temperate cavalry, but the heart is even colder to the extreme! !

    Seeing that the Kekkan Lord's eyes were getting softer and softer, the cavalry was lying on the ground, and even the head did not dare to lift it up, and the body seemed to have a cold illness.

    Kekkan had a smile on his mouth and casually teased the eagle on his arm, as if to say to himself: "Well, a son died, presumably my great and great father, His Majesty, will be thundering." Ok…Oh, it’s really sad news. ”

    Although he said so in his mouth, but where is the smile on the face, where is there a bit of sadness?

“……Fortunately, there are more than 20 sons under the father's sire, and one or two are dead. It's no big deal. ”

    In the end, this sentence is even more serious. Cavalry only wants to become a blind man at the moment. If this is a big mistake, he will be heard by himself. I am afraid that Kekkan Lord will not let himself go…

    Finally, after a moment of silence, Kekkan took a deep breath, and the gentle smile on his face converges instantly, replaced by a chill.

    "Tell me orders…Playing the bloody flag, I have to avenge my dear brother…Then, write a letter back and let us know about this sad news. ”After a pause, his eyes flashed a bit of weirdness: "Anyway, a brother died, I always have to make some gestures. This is the first time I personally led the army, but I can't get things done. ”

    Kevin and Butler finally took people out of this low-lying terrain, ran out of the valley, in front of the open area, two people have long been full of injuries, Kevin's hand hammer has long been left on the battlefield, now holding a double-edged Knight Sword, and butler on horseback, This silver-haired man has not even been straight up, his back by an Odin Caribou cavalry cut an axe, armor was cut, the axe almost killed his life.

    Once the valley was rushed out, Kevin immediately felt a shock. There was no Odin infantry in front of it. With his own cavalry movement, it was far more than Caribou Cavalry. It was enough to speed up the chase, as long as it could be re-arranged. Then you can organize a counter-attack! This will allow these Odin Caribou Cavalry to taste the power of Byzantine cavalry!

    Cavalry, has always been the strongest unit of the Byzantine! !

    Kevin, who had been angered before, was venting, but what made him angry was that once the gorge was rushed out, the Caribou Cavalry of the Odin who stopped behind immediately stopped chasing, the striker quickly and after the Byzantine cavalry The team got out of the way and then turned back and retracted into the canyon!

    (This, these bastards! When did the Odin people become cunning? ! )

    Finally stopped to line up, but when counting the number of people, Butler and Kevin vomited blood on the spot!

    The third Flag Battalion and Kevin's reinforcements are all added together, and there are less than six hundred rides alive!

    In other words, the other party's tactics of chasing and playing, seemingly cunning is not reasonable, but very effective! This entanglement tactic has caused the Byzantine people to die and die!

    The third Flag Battalion was completely ruined in this battle! In the back battle, it is no longer possible to play a combat force with a Flag Battalion, and can only wait for post-war reconstruction.

    Butler’s heart was bleeding. As the commander of the third Flag Battalion, these cavalry were brought out by him. At this moment, he lost more than 70% of the troops, so how can he not grieve?

    It can be said that if the Odin's plan is to eat the third Flag Battalion, then the purpose of this operation is basically completed. Because the third Flag Battalion's two thousand cavalry, less than five hundred alive, the loss reached 70%, and the living people are all brought, but also can maintain the combat ability is only three hundred.

    In this battle, the third Flag Battalion, although not completely annihilated, lost its combat power.

    Butler’s silver-haired man’s face is no longer a hero, as if he was twenty years old, he was on the horse’s back, his mouth was bleeding, and his teeth were biting.

    Kevin dropped blood in his heart and looked at the army around him…

    (Not normal, the combat style of these Odin people is very different from the previous one. In the past, the Odin people were a symbol of barbarism and courage. They were best at the frontal hard-fought decisive battles, but they did not play this kind of enemies, set up, surrounded by support, and the cunning tactics that entangled dead bites! )

    In addition, the most important thing that Kevin and Butler can't care about is:

    The number of the Odin people in front of the army, although the number is about 20,000, but from the quality point of view, they are not the elite troops of the Odin people, just a second-line army of ordinary Odin people, no matter from the quality of individual soldiers and combat effectiveness. Look, it is far from the standard of Odin people!

    In the past, the thirteenth Cavalry Army did not suffer a big loss in the hands of the Odin, but it was lost in the hands of the Odin elite army of Hasting Commander-in-Chief. But this time, I actually ate such a big sap in front of an ordinary army of Odin people…

    Both of them are old people who have been in the military for a long time. It is estimated that the loss of the Odin people is about 3,000 to 4,000.

    Looking at the ratio of losses on both sides, it seems that it is not too ugly.

    But don't forget, one side is one of the most elite troops in the Byzantine Empire! ! And it's still a powerful unit: cavalry! !

    "He damn it, Odin people actually learn to use the terrain, use the strategy…Is the other general's general is Hasting? ”Kevin snorted and spit with blood.

    “Nah.Butler looked terrible: "We haven't met the Black Flag Army group in Hasting. If it is changed to a general, it is absolutely impossible to downgrade to command an ordinary army with Hasting's prestige in the Odin Empire. The only explanation is that there is another powerful military general in the Odin! ”

    After a pause, the veteran, although being smashed by the blow, still gnawed his orders.

    Since those Odin people did not catch up, then their own party did not have to retreat immediately. They were on the line and sent troops to wait for the big troops behind to catch up.

    "When General arrives, let's play with these Austrian people!"

    Shaar didn't dare to walk the road. He seemed to return to the day when a person was hunting in the wilderness of the forest. He carefully sneaked on the complicated hillside, deliberately took a big circle, and took back more than ten miles from the right side, quietly approaching the advance. The scheduled meeting point.

    At noon, Shaar finally came to the valley, but coincidentally, just because he did not walk the road, he did not meet Kevin and others who gathered in the south of the valley, but walked from the right side. Quickly approaching the hillside on the right side directly from the side.

    As he approached the woods, Shaar immediately heard the sound coming from behind. With his experience, the dull and messy hoof was obviously not the cavalry of the Byzantine Empire. He immediately slammed a tree like a monkey and saw the following. A small team of Caribou Cavalry passed slowly.

    Seeing the number of the other party, Shaar did not dare to breathe, for fear of revealing a movement.

    Then he squatted on the trunk and quietly shrank his body into a ball. He heard a noisy voice coming from the woods. A team of Odin troops drove out of the woods and lined up outside the woods. ……

    (Hell!)

    Shaar hiding in the tree can't advance or retreat.
