The Royal Knights of Orlando really arrived in the small town of Pamela the next afternoon. After seeing Orlando and others who were still full of energy, Ryan could n’t help but admire the Royal Knights. The most powerful army of mankind, even if they run thousands of kilometers day and night, they can still make the next attack immediately, and it is enough to defeat their opponents. At this point, none of the three elite troops that Ryan personally created can do it, and this is the biggest gap between the Imperial Capital and Cassano.
Soon, the entire Royal Knights were settled down, and now the town of Pamela and the nearby military barracks have already stationed a full population of 120,000, and there are more than 20,000 war horses, which can be taken out almost by the emperor. All the strength of a local battle.
"Lane, this is the topographic map of the western steppe." Orlando said at the battle meeting, pointing to a huge map covered with a desktop, said to Lion: "Pamela where we are is here, and from here to In the west, the entire 3,000-kilometer journey is an endless prairie. "
Ryan's eyes moved slowly in Orlando's hands, and Orlando's ear also heard what he continued to say: "In this environment, we simply cannot cover our whereabouts. The army of tens of thousands of people every day is even more Drinking water is a huge amount, not to mention the food that people and war horses consume. "
"We can't give up the weight, because once the Clare clan implements the strategy of clearing the walls and clearing the ground, we will soon collapse." Orlando took out a small flag and placed it gently on the river or lake shown on the map. Then said with a smile: "So, we only need to advance step by step. Follow these rivers or lakes all the way to the west, while scouting out all directions, as much as possible to destroy the tribes and camps of the Clay tribe, forcing them to gather and We are decisive. "
"The amount of water stored in these rivers and lakes is extremely huge, and it is impossible for the Clay people to interfere with us by poisoning. At the same time, these water sources are also the herdsmen's survival, and along the way, they have gathered their maximum size. Small tribe, as for how to find them, it will be given to your shooter legion. "
Ryan nodded. Orlando ’s strategic arrangement was very stable. Although the army was dispatched, the rear was slightly empty, but many things could be done immediately without anxiety. Instead, be careful to avoid falling into the trap of the opponent because of impatience. In the middle, so Ryan will temporarily let Ellendo act as his lord, and then arrange everything and come out again.
"Jonas, wait until Lion's shooter team finds the enemy's position. If the number is not large, they will solve it by themselves, but if the strength is too strong, you will attack on your side." Orlando saw that Lion had no objection, just Speaking to Jonas: "The herdsmen of the Clay tribe are all living in water and grass. It is impossible to organize enough fighters against our tens of thousands of troops in a hurry, so we will be very smooth in the beginning."
Jonas nodded and said: "This is for sure, General Orlando, but with you and Ryan, we can beat them even the strongest opponent!"
"No, the Royal Knights will not fight!" Orlando said with a smile: "During the march, the scouts should be released as much as possible, and the traces of the Royal Knights must be hidden to the maximum. This is also how we mobilized so much. The reason for the war horses. Because in addition to increasing our motivation, they can also confuse our enemies so that they will not notice that the Royal Knights are still hidden in it. "
"Ah, is this?" Jonas asked doubtfully.
Without waiting for Orlando to explain, Ryan spoke first: "If you are the leader of the Clay tribe, Jonas. When you know that a legion you are facing against you can't win, you will come to your grassland. Was it delivered silly? "
"Ah, I see!" Jonas beat hard, and said excitedly: "This way the enemy always thought that we were just horseback infantry, plus some excellent scouts. When the main battle between the two sides was decisive, the Royal Knights would You can suddenly charge, and at that time, the Clares have retreated!
"That's it." Orlando said with a smile: "It's unprepared to attack them, forcing them to have to fight with us in attrition, and only then can we achieve the purpose of our expedition. Otherwise, the Clare clan will continue to migrate westward. Run after them to the side of the Hengduan Mountains? "
It wasn't until the end of the military discussion that Ryan now accompanied Orlando and his old friend. This time, in order to hide the traces of the Royal Knights as much as possible, Orlando even mobilized 4 magicians from the Imperial Capital Guild, among which Andros and Melinda were also among them. Meeting with friends was naturally a lot of fun. The scene, especially when Ryan was swayed in the imperial capital as Fabia, was naturally teased by Androcos.
After the joke, Ryan and Androcos talked about using magic to conceal their whereabouts. Androcos told Ryan that because this time the entire coalition had 50,000 soldiers and 20,000 logistic personnel, only with a few of them. It is impossible for a magister to use magic to cover the battlefield. It can only detect the enemy's movement through magic such as "magic eye", so that the commander can send scouts against the enemy's situation as early as possible.
For this point, Ryan is powerless. After all, if Ryan can completely cover the tracks of 70,000 or 80,000 people, or even directly transfer these 70,000 or 80,000 people to the hinterland of the Clan clan using the "door of time and space" magic, then Ryan is not Magician, but enough to be comparable to the existence of the main god, obviously this is impossible. Therefore, the only thing Ryan can do is to take turns with Androcos to maintain the operation of the "Magic God Eye" magic circle with mana, and make early warning of Orlando's enemy situation.
The entire expeditionary force came out at dawn on the third day. Ryan shouted the captain of his 5ooo popular shooter to his side, and asked them in detail, and then let them take their men based on the team as the main force. The state around the troops. Because in Cassano, the entire popular shooter army has been scouted, so it looks like it is done.
And Jonas led 20,000 phalanx infantry and 20,000 shooters as the main force, and slowly advanced westward under the scout alert. As for the 20,000 logistic soldiers, they were also selected from the Imperial capital, and they put all their weights. They are all installed on the cart, and then several people work together to push forward, and maintain a double formation while traveling.
This double formation is one of the best ways to resist the harassment of enemy cavalry on the plains. Once the enemy light cavalry attacks, as long as the carts before and after the entire formation are traversed, it can immediately form a solid on the flat ground In a defensive position of one person, a cart with a height of one person is enough to resist the attack of the enemy, and the soldiers in the position can stand firm and stand by or counterattack.
On the first day of the Expeditionary Force, there was little gain. After all, the Clan and the Emperor have been in a state of war. It is impossible for the residents of both sides to run to the other side and they can hit their own distance at any time. It's just that he met hundreds of scouts of the Clay tribe. These scouts thought they could rely on their horses and bows to teach the intruders a lesson, but Ryan's popular shooter gave them a lifetime unforgettable memory.
As Ryan's elaborate popular shooter army, the entire army of 5ooo people is all trained by elite wind shooters, Moon Temple guard Serres and others. Their Mithril Longbow has a longer range and more hits. Precisely, all the Clay scouts who planned to take advantage of it and go away, all drank under the long arrows of white feathers.
However, from the second day of the expeditionary force, the popular shooters in charge of the encounter encountered enemies that were more difficult to deal with. These Clay fighters were all young men who were temporarily summoned from nearby camps. The appearance of the 12oo people, although the overall fighting power is not as elite as the Clare clan, but they have lived on horseback since childhood, and they are also a force that cannot be underestimated.
The temporarily assembled Clay fighters were gathered together to prepare an ambush squad of popular shooters. The commander of the Clay fighters, Basel, was about 5 years old. It was the military of the Clay in this area. collar. The Commander of Basel, upon hearing the news that the army of the imperial capital had entered the grassland, immediately sent people to gather the young and middle-aged people of various tribes with a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and he also planned an ambush plan.
Basel planned well. Once the ambush was successful, they could judge the opponent ’s situation by the body of the enemy. Maybe they could get a live mouth and carefully inquire about the enemy ’s military strength and main force, and then send someone to inform Abdul Chiefs, no small or big is a credit.
Because the alert range of the popular shooter army exceeds 5o kilometers, this is almost the limit of normal horseback riding within one day, and Androcos and their "magic eyes" can not reach such a large range, so was The popular archers who lured the encirclement did not realize that they were about to step into a well-arranged trap.
The captain of the popular shooter team Amos was originally a shooter among the hunter tribes in the silent language forest, but his family followed Letoz to Cassano, just in time to catch up with Cassano is forming the popular shooter corps, so as An excellent hunter, Amos joined the legion.
After heavy and brutal training, Amos was not eliminated, but because of his original hunter foundation, he performed quite well in training. Even after the entire army was becoming an army, he was promoted with his excellent results. As the team leader, he obtained the power to command 5o people.
On this day he led the team on the grassland, and suddenly several elderly herdsmen immediately saw them and threw away dozens of Taren sheep grazing desperately, and the sensitive Amos immediately felt that since it could Seeing the elderly Clay people and flocks, most of the Clay pastures nearby, led the team to catch up.
