Chapter 621 Sneak Attack No. 6
On a barren mountain, a camp is secretly deployed. Judging from the surrounding shacks and reclamation fields, it has been a gathering place for human beings for some time.
After Edward's cavalry broke through the Casluer River and found this human refuge camp, which was originally a barren mountain and inaccessible. When the puppet massacre began, nearby villagers found this place and established a settlement.
Later, because the main force of the puppet has left and the surrounding villages have been desolate, it has become a safe place. People keep coming and people are staying, finally forming a more lively place than a small town.
Although they were poor and short of food, the people here still worked hard to survive until Edward's more than 30,000 cavalry passed by and found this poor community.
The locals treated Edward's army as a savior and provided all their help. With the help of these people, Edward figured out the deployment of the surrounding puppet forces and established a hidden base.
These days, Edward has witnessed the misery of human beings throughout the Sofia Empire, full of dead maggots and countless skeleton bones. The air is filled with the smell of choking decay, and even the hell described in the book is not so horrible. And all this strengthened Edward's determination to fight the Sofia Empire.
"General! Look at it!" A soldier ran over in a hurry: "We killed several puppet messengers. They seemed to contact a puppet force. They carried a letter with them, written with strange symbols. We can't crack it."
In order to confirm this information, Edward found the locals who had been in contact with the puppet to carefully identify it, and finally confirmed that it was the text of the puppet, which asked a big man code-named "6" to be careful and find the nearest city to avoid the human cavalry.
"Your excellency! This may be a puppet trap! We should confirm this news. An officer said, "Our battle goal has been reached. Now we should break out to the south and cross the defense line to return to the Sword Empire."
Edward pondered for a while and shook his head and said, "If the puppet really wants to annihilate us, just mobilize troops. There is no need to arrange such a small trick. It is not difficult to confirm our position. This should be the normal communication of the enemy."
"Notify the civilians here and transfer immediately! We will assault the enemy nearby. Once the opponent is annihilated, it is difficult to guarantee that the puppet troops will not chase us, and then it will be affected here. Edward deployed the offensive mission and then said, "Leave two cavalry companies to take care of the people here, and gather the others!" Let's leave in half an hour!"
Looking around, Edward put on his black steel helmet and his armor clung. Since he became the commander of the army, he had not put on armor to fight for a long time.
Soon, the service of the Wolf Knight sent back the news. Next to the nearby highway, a puppet army of about 10,000 people was stationed. Judging from the fortifications, this force was not stationed for a long time, but passed through here. ( Puppet soldiers do not need to rest, but their visibility is reduced at night and is not suitable for rushing)
Edward decided to concentrate his strength and attack the puppet army. The time of the assault was chosen at night. Under the cover of the night, he was ready to lurk to a fairly close distance and suddenly launch an attack, disrupting the puppet's defense and annihilating the puppet force in one fell swoop.
The night finally came, and the troops of the Sword Empire quietly approached the puppet camp. Finally, with an order, the cavalry turned over their horses and launched a fierce charge.
"H Long live the Sword Empire! Go ahead!" A soldier waved the long knife in his hand, clamped his legs and rushed out like an arrow from the string. Behind him, countless cavalry of the Holy Sword Empire accelerated and rushed to the puppet soldiers' camp.
A row of neatly sitting puppet soldiers in the camp immediately stood up, grabbed the long guns and swords around them, and began a tenacious resistance.
The teams of the two sides bumped into each other in chaos and fought. There are fire everywhere, swords and shadows everywhere. The shouting slogans and the muffled sound of swords splitting fat are mixed together, bringing boundless blood to the quiet night.
In order to catch the big fish, Edward did not devote all his troops to the battle, but left 10,000 troops on the periphery.
Every few minutes, he sent a * cavalry to search in one direction and circle around the puppet camp until all the 10,000 reserves in his hand were sent out. This was a trick he learned from Leon Barton in his early years in the Holy Empire to deal with the enemy in the encirclement that fled in chaos. The coach is very useful.
Soon, he led his last 500 cavalry to join the battle circle, because Edward found that the enemy was gathering and breaking out violently in one direction, which was obviously a commanding action, proving that the other general was in that direction.
Edward intends to fight in person. In a while, the general of the Sofia Empire, who is number 6, can kill one of the other generals before being destroyed, which makes Edward a little excited. At least Edward feels that his coming to Lingbei Province this time is definitely an important choice.
"Toward the enemy's phalanx! Attack!" As soon as Edward waved the long knife in his hand, the knights around him rushed out, and hundreds of horses ran away, straight into the breakthrough phalanx of the puppet soldiers.
At the same time, No. 6 in the puppet soldier's phalanx also roared loudly: "Attack north! Break out of the siege! Dense formation! Don't spread! If it is scattered, it will be killed by the other side's cavalry!"
Originally, it was difficult for the infantry to break through the cavalry. What's more, these cavalry had divided the puppet infantry into several pieces. No. 6 did not think of fighting back at this time. He just wanted to break out and escape to Leonard quickly.
Of all the puppets, his force is the weakest, or even no. His dark energy is basically used to strengthen wisdom, so in contrast, he is not as strong as No. 3, or even as 4.
The unintentioned No. 6 commanded the troops to break out, and the fast-eyed General Edward also found the approximate location of No. 6. A puppet general and a human general were destined to meet on this battlefield. One of them will win, and the other will leave the stage of history lonely.
