Lord Highlander

  Chapter 1012 998. River valley pursuit

In just a few days, the Hellhounds wandering in Black Crow Ridge were wiped out by the Constructed Swordsmen. The black mages did not expect that this group of Constructed Swordsmen were not afraid of revealing their whereabouts. The magician forcibly interfered several times, and several black magicians were damaged.

   This annoyed the black mage McCarthy, but there was nothing he could do. The only gain was to find out the specific location where the Suldak Legion was hiding.

  Subsequently, Groval McDonnell immediately dispatched two heavy cavalry regiments and three infantry regiments to the col.

  Because a magician was probing the sky, Suldak knew the movement of the Lord's army in advance. By the time they surrounded the col, Suldak led the heavy armored infantry regiment to the valley at the foot of the Black Crow Ridge.

   During this period of time, some new troops have been recruited one after another. The number of Suldak's army has exceeded 8,000.

   Although the team is a bit bloated, these fighters are members of the Resistance Army. They have rich experience in jungle survival and are also very experienced in how to get rid of the pursuit of the Lord Army.

   A heavy cavalry regiment of less than 200 men was wandering at the foot of Heiyaling Mountain, just in time to encounter the retreating heavy infantry regiment.

  This heavy cavalry squadron actually wanted to hold back Suldak's heavy infantry regiment by itself, relying on the equipment advantages of heavy armor and knight spears.

   Quintas Great Swordsmen and Constructed Swordsmen were not there, otherwise Suldak planned to eat the two hundred heavy cavalry squadron directly.

  The soldiers of the 1st Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment fought and retreated in the jungle, retreating all the way to the river.

  Vines are overgrown in the jungle, and the horses can't run at all. In some places where the vines are dense, the cavalry has to detour.

   "Their large cavalry unit is chasing from behind, what should we do?" Samira jumped down from the crown of a big tree nimbly and reported to Suldakhui.

  Suldak looked at the thirty or so flat-bottomed boats docked by the river, and said:

   "Call the soldiers to board the boat, let's go to the other side of the river!"

Most of the heavy armored infantry had already crossed the river, and the remaining 1st heavy armored infantry regiment also jumped onto the flat-bottomed boats one after another. These thirty flat-bottomed boats could only transport a thousand people at a time, and the remaining five hundred people Unable to board the boat, he quickly took off the heavy armor and threw it on the boat, but he jumped into the river and swam across the river holding on to the side of the boat.

  The heavy cavalry tried to rush to the bank of the river to stop them, but was blocked by a rain of arrows shot by the archers on the other side of the river.

  Watched helplessly as a wave surged up in the river, pushing more than 30 flat-bottomed boats, and almost none of them landed on the shore without a ferry.

  The heavy cavalry stood by the river, facing Suldak's heavy infantry across the river.

Some knights couldn't help but try, the water in this river is a little deep, and the front legs of the blue-scaled warhorse just stepped into the river, and it has already covered the chest of the warhorse. Thump back to shore.

At this time, Groval McDonnell, who had been following behind to eat ashes, finally led a large force to catch up. Looking at the heavy armored infantry regiment walking westward along the other side of the river, Commander Groval finally gave another order :

   "The First and Second Heavy Cavalry Regiment continued to pursue these rebels across the river, and the Third and Fourth Heavy Cavalry Regiment went around from the shallow water area ten miles behind the river to the opposite bank and continued to pursue them!"

   Then Grova looked at the panting infantry regiment who ran along the way, thought for a while and said, "Let's tie some rafts here..."

  Among the supplies brought over from the camp, there is sheepskin that can be blown into air bags. These sheepskin air bags are filled with air and tied under the raft to become a raft for transporting troops. This kind of raft is what Groval wants to make.

  He said to several cavalry regiment leaders:

"I want to deploy some troops on both sides of the river bank, and then the cavalry on both sides will go hand in hand. I will make some leather rafts here to meet you. This river will be an important channel for our eastward expedition in the future. I will let the infantry regiment follow the river bank Forest roads were opened on both sides for the passage of cavalry."

   Hearing Grova's arrangement, the heads of several heavy cavalry regiments had no choice but to lead the way.

  …

   Just as the four heavy cavalry regiments started to move, Grova suddenly noticed a noble knight standing under the shade of trees on the other side of the river.

  Although he had never seen it before, his intuition told him that the man opposite him was the commander of this rebel army.

Suldak looked at the young commander quietly. Samira originally wanted to shoot an arrow from a long distance to try to see if he could hit it, but after hesitating, he jumped down from the top of the tree and followed without looking back. Leave decisively behind the large army.

  More than 30 flat-bottomed boats also followed the large force down the river...

  A team of heavy cavalry was chasing along the other side of the river, but they didn't seem to dare to be too far away from the large army behind.

The vines were overgrown in the rainforest, and the cavalry had no speed advantage. In this chase, because the Suldak heavy armored infantry had always adopted a strategy of avoiding the battle, the main cavalry of the lord's army of the third army thought that these heavy cavalry The armored infantry was vulnerable, and under the influence of this kind of supportive psychology, a large number of third army lords scattered along the river.

There were 15,000 lords in Grova's army, including 10,000 infantry soldiers, 2,000 heavy cavalry, 2,000 light cavalry, and 1,000 archers. However, all combat units of the Third Army They are all scattered in the narrow river valley area between the frontline camp and the Kempera Valley.

  In order to allow the cavalry to pass, Grova is going to open up forest roads in the dense woods on both sides of the river.

  The infantry of the Third Legion was once again reduced to a bunch of lumberjacks...

  …

  The heavy armored infantry regiment finally ran to the decisive battle site preset by Suldak, and the lords of the third legion on the opposite side were finally dragged out of formation, and almost all the lords could only act in battalion units.

   Chasing the cavalry at the front, what they have been pursuing is to hold back the footsteps of the heavy armored infantry regiment, and wait until the reinforcements from the rear arrive.

   It's just that during the pursuit, they didn't realize that they had already drawn a distance from the main force.

   Or in other words, there were no large troops at all, and the entire Third Army was dragged into a mess.

  This is a low-lying canyon where three rivers meet and then divide into two forks.

  A river flowing to the valley town in the east.

   Another river flows to the land of collapse in the south.

  On both sides of the valley are fault mountains more than 50 meters high. The area in the middle is still three to four kilometers wide, but the entire canyon is ten kilometers long.

  And here is divided by the meandering river, which is called Kempera Valley by the locals.

   Coming here, the heavy armored infantry regiment no longer has to retreat blindly.

At this moment, Suldak's heavy armored infantry regiment has fully equipped four heavy armored infantry regiments that can participate in the battle. Counting 500 constructed swordsmen and 500 archers, the total number of combatants is 7,000, right now? Ambushed in the canyon.

   As night fell, there were flowing rivers everywhere, and these rivers blocked the footsteps of the heavy cavalry regiment.

"Those cowardly rebels! In front of the cavalry of the Third Legion, they would just run away with their tails between their legs... If it weren't for this river, they might not survive tonight, and now we can only let them live longer For a while, wait for tomorrow! Tomorrow is the time for our cavalry to flatten this canyon!"

  Many cavalry in heavy cavalry regiments think so.

   At present, only four heavy cavalry regiments are catching up, and a large number of infantry are still cutting trees behind...

  As for the 1,000-strong archer regiment... In fact, there is no more archer regiment. Just now, the Great Swordsman Quintas ambushed the archer regiment with his constructed swordsmen.

  For the Constructed Swordsmen, this group of archers is in the jungle and is not qualified to act alone.

   Add more updates to the battle song of the leader's glory (1/10)
