Chapter 38: Maifei Iron Rider
The ice source thought darkly.
Indeed, if it is the garrison of other countries, it makes sense. After all, the Principality of Effesley is an outpost of the Northern Alliance. It is impossible without military or economic assistance, but even if it is a force of another country, Bingyuan should at least find out which country's army it is and the quality of combat. How.
After all, it is a thousand troops... If you leave it alone, something big will happen.
After making up his mind, Bingyuan jumped down the eaves. Although it is relatively easy to avoid the patrols on the ground on the eaves, if you act on the eaves, you will be found by the sentries on the wall when you get close to the wall, and Bingyuan does not know how much the sight of the sentries on the wall now. It's better to go down early.
"..."
After entering here, there were much fewer soldiers on patrol. On the way forward, Bingyuan only met two patrol teams and never met other soldiers.
The soldiers on patrol are, without exception, the soldiers of the Duchy of Effesley, and so are the sentries on the wall, but occasionally one or two soldiers with different uniforms appear, and the appearance time is very short, and the ice source can't even be seen clearly.
“...... I really can't go in now."
Hidden behind a building, sneaking into the sentry on the wall and the garrison soldiers at the entrance, I couldn't help but feel a moment of worry.
All of them were soldiers from the Duchy of Effesley, and they didn't see the soldiers of other countries at all.
"What the hell... It's really hidden."
At this time, Bingyuan didn't know whether he should continue to take risks and sneak in. He had just seen that the wall was brightly lit, and the difficulty of lurking was more than one level than his current position. Moreover, I don't know how many soldiers there were inside who wanted to escape after being found. This is also a very difficult thing.
What should I do?
You can infiltrate without being found.
Go in pretending to be a soldier?
Impossible...
Bingyuan first rejected this plan in his mind. The patrolling soldiers are all five people in a team. When they go in and out, they also go in and out one team at a time. It seems that there is a secret code to be allowed to enter. This plan is absolutely impossible to implement for Bingyuan, which is only one person at present.
Climb the wall?
Stop it. There are sentries on the wall, and the light is very sufficient.
...... What should we do?
Feeling the helpless ice source retreat into a room, he couldn't help sighing secretly.
Is it possible to use that power?
The ice source thought darkly.
Otherwise... I really can't sneak in.
And when the ice source was puzzled.
"Wow--"
Suddenly, a sound made by unknown equipment spread all over the town. In an instant, the ice source sitting on the ground was scared and almost fell to the ground, thinking that he had been found to send troops to find him.
"Hurry up!! Keep up!"
Then, there was a burst of sand outside. Bingyuan immediately got up and came to the second floor of the building. He secretly opened a window to peep out, and the scene that Bingyuan saw couldn't help but make him stunned.
Hundreds of heavy cavalrymen attacked from the wall and ran on the road of the town. All the sand was stepped up by the horses' hoofs. The cavalry were moving forward quickly with torches. No one found the ice source that had hidden their breath.
Four hundred heavy cavalry...?
This... The combat effectiveness of two thousand infantry?
Bingyuan, who was stunned in place, immediately came to his senses and wanted to take a closer look at the signs on the heavy cavalry unit, but it was okay not to look at it. It made Bingyuan even more dumbfounded.
This cavalry force, Bingyuan will never forget its horror.
Maifei Iron Ride.
The Maifei Empire is one of the strongest countries in the Northern Alliance. Its status is exactly the same as that of the Nayaske Empire on the southern front, and it is the leader in their respective camps.
And its military strength can be said to be the most powerful country, because it has a military power that other countries can never compare with - cavalry.
There are a large number of grasslands in the north, which are rich in horses, and the Maifei Empire happens to be an empire built on many grasslands, and the number of horses has always been in the highest position.
Pupil eaters can only be obtained by relying on pre-cativated factors, but the cavalry is completely different. They can be completely cultivated with acquired factors, and the cavalry is more effective on the front battlefield than the pupil-eater... And most importantly, the combat ability of cavalry is enhanced with the increase in number.
When a hundred cavalry attack, each cavalry is equivalent to five reinforcements. When a thousand cavalry attack, one cavalry is equivalent to ten reinforcements... There is a good saying that it would be better to have 50,000 iron riders than a million infantry. This sentence makes sense.
Although the Maifi Empire does not have as many as 50,000 cavalry, but... In the Maifi Empire, 30,000 of the 100,000 infantry were cavalry, of which 10,000 were heavy cavalry.
The cavalry of the Maifei Empire left a very deep impression in the mind of the ice source.
Because during the battle in the middle half a year ago, the original brigade of Bingyuan was facing the attack of a thousand iron riders in the Mayfield Empire.
When you face more than a thousand cavalry, even if ten thousand people are stationed in the position, the soldiers in the front row will definitely feel panic.
Who can not panic when you face the attack of cavalry with a speed of 30 kilometers per hour and heavy armor? I'm going to see the Lord of Hell immediately after bumping into him!
At that time, Bingyuan was in charge of the position, but there were only more than 400 soldiers...
But when 400 soldiers came into contact with a thousand iron riders, the whole camp collapsed in an instant. Four hundred people were cut and killed by a thousand cavalry, and the formed defense lineup collapsed in an instant.
It can be said that a considerable part of the failure of the Central War is due to the departure of Maifei Iron Horse in the Central Plains.
As soon as Maifei's iron cavalry went out, it was 10,000 iron riders. Including the cavalry of other countries, a total of 30,000 cavalry was unstoppable in the central battlefield!
The southern front is in the south, and there are very few grasslands. There are only 20,000 cavalry on the whole front, and half of them are thin horses, which can't be compared with its iron horse at all.
Moreover, it was not convenient to raise horses in the south, and many war horses died on the way to the middle. The helpless cavalry could only be converted into infantry combat on the spot.
Moreover, with the Nomars Expeditionary Force and the military reinforcements of other countries, the number of cavalry is only 500, and only 100 are heavy cavalry. Originally, I thought that this number was in line with the cavalry of the Principality of Effesley, but at this time, there were 400 Maifi iron riders in the Principality of Effith!!!
(I feel an unprecedented crisis. Give me everyone's red ticket quickly. I'm so afraid of being **QAQ)
