I, the yellow-haired noble, hypnotize the beautiful wife from another world

"Fortunately, our head coach is not that kind of person. These days, following the right boss is more important than anything else."

The Crusader Knights muttered this while feeding magic potions to the half-elf Crusaders.

These half-elf warriors, who had strong resentment and dissatisfaction towards Iberval and the Moon Elf Royal Family because of such treatment, will be disbanded and added to other flag teams to become part of Aslan's direct troops to strengthen Aslan's power.

Because of the impending defeat, most of the half-elves would not refuse this kind of transfer. Even if people asked them, they could still make a convincing argument - Am I not a Northern Crusader? Isn't Lord Aslan the commander of the Crusaders? If so, what's wrong with me following Lord Aslan's orders?

In this situation of strong resentment, where what he said made a lot of sense and I was speechless, a subtle atmosphere and a new concept were taking shape.

The Northern Crusaders have taken a solid step towards becoming a real political entity rather than a patchwork coalition.

……

At 15 p.m., the four flag teams of the Moon Elves, with a combined strength of about soldiers, engaged in a fierce battle with an orc force that was twice their size.

It should be said that the princess' strong confidence was worthy of her. Although the orc warriors were stronger, crazier, and more motivated, they still suffered heavy losses in front of the moon elf troops, which were only half their number but better equipped, better trained, and more like a professional army than a group of guerrilla bandits.

The arrangement made by the great chief Krieg backfired - he had a good idea, a three-way siege would cause the elven army to collapse.

But the key point is that the orcs are not so highly organized and do not have such a good way of communication, so apart from the frontal troops led by him personally, the other two troops that said they would make a detour were completely silent. The battle has already started, but we still don't know where they are.

Thinking of this, An An regretted that he should not have acted so arrogantly, but the situation had come to a standstill and there was no point in regretting. He could only bite the bullet and go ahead.

……

The elves still had a chance of winning. At least on the surface.

If the orc troops in the front can be defeated before the enemies from the two wings arrive, then Her Royal Highness the Princess can still achieve a miserable and pyrrhic victory.

"Attack, attack quickly!!"

The princess realized this and urged them on desperately. Unfortunately, the Iberval army was completely exhausted. They could barely maintain their formation, standoff or defend. But they really couldn't attack.

At least that's the case until Her Royal Highness the Princess finds a way to inspire the soldiers' morale and fighting spirit.

If Aslan were here, he might be able to boost morale by making wishes, painting big rosy pictures, and giving passionate speeches.

It’s a pity that Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn’t have these two skills.

After several hours of fighting, the final strategic window of victory disappeared, and some people began to subtly advise the princess that it was time to retreat.

……

If Her Royal Highness Princess follows suit at this time, then retreat is still possible. The elf troops whose morale has not collapsed and have a certain degree of mobility can take turns to cover the retreat.

However, due to her inner pride and entanglement, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not choose to retreat, but hesitated.

After another hour or two, the sky gradually darkened and the temperature became lower. Although both the elves and the orcs had a certain night vision ability, in such a bad weather, both sides had to stop fighting and retreat to their respective camps to rest.

At this moment, someone suggested that the princess leave a small number of soldiers behind to cover the retreat, and the army abandon the camp and flee under the cover of night. However, the princess suddenly became heroic, thinking that she was not fighting alone, and that various miracles had appeared to her, and that she could still be saved, so she once again rejected the suggestion of fleeing overnight and insisted on continuing to fight.

"We are the strongest and most resilient nation in the world. It's just a few minor difficulties and obstacles. There is no way they can defeat us!"

After saying these words, the princess drove everyone away, fell on the bed, and had a sweet dream. In her dream, she successfully won a great victory, harvested glory and wealth, and Aslan knelt in front of her and became her hard-working slave.

However, things were slightly different from what Her Royal Highness had imagined.

That night, the exhausted half-elf soldiers made a decision after learning that Her Royal Highness the Princess was unwilling to retreat even at this point.

When she got up the next day, the princess let out the same grief and angry roar as Xiang Yu did at the Battle of Gaixia.

Half of her army fled last night, and the remaining half had lost all morale and was almost on the verge of collapse.

Under these circumstances, the Grayskin Orcs' army launched an attack.

There is absolutely no need for the cooperation of the armies on the left and right wings. The gray-skinned orcs can defeat this elven army on their own.

With just one charge, the remnants of the Princess's army were defeated. In the chaos, the Princess could only flee southward in a panic, escorted by a handful of elven soldiers.

"What? That's so boring."

At the same time, the chieftain quietly curled his lips amid the crazy shouts and cheers of countless orcs, and then quickly gave an order to the orcs who were full of expectations:

"Kill them all!!"

With crazy and excited shouts, the orcs launched a full-scale pursuit. Chief Krieg also showed a slightly amused smile: "But at least now, these orcs are still valuable. In this case, let's continue this game.

That princess is out of the game, who will play with me next?"

Chapter 8 The prince who falls from the sky may not necessarily fall in love with you at first sight

Aslan's ability to grasp battlefield situations is better than that of the orcs and elves.

The mages and knights who set out on the Giant Eagle and Pegasus will transmit the entire battlefield situation to the rear through magic crystals.

In other words, the crushing defeat of the elven princess's remaining troops was seen by all the Crusaders.

Thinking of how the princess had been so arrogant and looked down upon by everyone, and now she was in such a state of disgrace, even the knight with the best temper could not help but laugh out loud.

But now is not the time to laugh at each other.

"Let's go and help our allies." Aslan said in a relaxed tone, "and let those gray-skinned orcs know that the Northern Crusaders are not something they can easily defeat."

Aslan climbed onto his horse while saying this, and at the same time, the Crusaders responded with a roar.

There were three flag teams in total, and three thousand puppet maids were on horseback. Aslan, who had sufficient resources, had already reorganized his most elite puppet army into cavalry infantry to enhance its marching mobility.

These puppet maids were all wearing full sets of armor on the battlefield, and no one could tell that they were actually maids and puppets.

Beside them were four banners of Crusader Knights and their retainers.

The Crusader Knights from the Golden Eagle Empire can be considered Aslan's relatively direct force.

The knights and knight attendants of the two flag teams had all changed their uniforms.

The knights put on fine full-body plate armor and new-style lances, swords, and maces. They were wrapped in white padded robes with black crosses painted on them.

The knights' horses also have a full set of horse plate armor and corresponding black cross robes.

The knights' followers were responsible for the task of light cavalry, equipped with lightweight half-body armor, cavalry swords, light lances, and more importantly, at least three short-barreled muskets.

……

In addition to a new breed of warhorse used for charging and combat, which was a hybrid of the strongest golden eagle horse and the elven horse, the knights and their attendants also received two northern horses.

One of these very cold-resistant northern war horses is used for riding, while the other is used to carry weapons and armor.

As for the other two flag teams, although they had not changed all their equipment, they had already been issued white-bottomed black-cross tunics for warmth and uniformity.

Uniform dress is one of the means to enhance the deterrent power of the army and rally the military morale.

Although it is impossible to make all 30,000 Crusaders change their clothes in a short period of time, it is still possible to make them wear uniform burqa uniforms in a short period of time.

……

Aslan was particularly satisfied with this force.

Three thousand of the most elite mounted infantry, one thousand powerful heavy cavalry, and three thousand versatile light cavalry equipped with muskets, cavalry swords and light lances.

Behind the 7,000-strong army, there was a supply team consisting of thousands of elk and hundreds of heavy sleds, including strong woodcutters, cooks, doctors and pharmacists.

The endless sled teams will provide the Crusaders with sufficient logistical supplies, including food, fuel, medical care, and even solutions to all other problems.

Everything was ready, and Lady Elizabeth was transformed from a human into a dragon again, with Aslan riding on her and taking off into the air.

The powerful, huge, majestic and sacred silver dragon in the air caused the Crusader Knights on the ground to cheer.

The joining of a living silver dragon, a symbol of justice and power, gave Aslan more prestige and even divinity. It also made the already high-spirited Crusaders even more fanatical, and they firmly believed that they would win.

This is true.

Led by Aslan, the well-prepared Crusaders marched northward at a furious speed of more than 100 kilometers a day. Two days later, they caught up with the remnants of the elves fleeing southward, as well as a group of orc wolf cavalry that were chasing them closely.

At this moment, Her Royal Highness the Princess had completely lost her former arrogance and conceit, and looked as if she had lost her soul.

Everything that hindered their escape, including a large amount of treasures, daily utensils inlaid with various jewels, bowls, chopsticks, tea cups, horse harnesses and carriage frames, and even armor and horse armor, were all abandoned.

But even so, due to the lack of replacement horses and food supplies, they were still almost caught up by the orcs' wolf cavalry.

Until now.

"Ah, ah—Silver Dragon! Crusader! It's the Crusader!"

When the elven knight beside Her Royal Highness saw the giant silver dragon in the sky, he almost cried with joy: "Great, great, Your Highness, we are saved!!"

However, the Elf Princess was feeling mixed emotions at this moment. On the one hand, she was relieved that she was finally saved. But on the other hand, she felt so embarrassed to be humiliated in front of her unrequited love that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.

"How will Aslan treat me?" She couldn't help but think:

"Will he comfort me gently, or will he laugh at me mercilessly? How should I deal with Aslan? Should I appear to be well-behaved, weak and crying pitifully, or should I continue to uphold my pride and dignity and let him admire me?"

However, soon, Her Royal Highness the Princess no longer had to worry about these unnecessary things.

The silver dragon flew directly over the heads of the fleeing elves. Lady Elizabeth opened her mouth and breathed a breath of frost at the wolf riders on the ground, instantly turning a hundred-man squadron of wolf riders into ice sculptures.

Not only her and Aslan, the light cavalry following behind them also paid no attention to these crying elves. They just brushed past them as if they were air and charged towards the orc wolf cavalry.

These fanatical light cavalry raised their short-barreled muskets and charged towards the wolf cavalry on the opposite side in a dense formation like a lancer charge, and they pulled the trigger only when the distance was less than ten meters.

Such a close distance and such a dense barrage of bullets corrected the problem of the early muskets' lack of accuracy.

In an instant, a barrage of violent lead turned the wolf cavalrymen and their mounts closest to them into sieves.

Then came the second round of violent lead bullets, and then the third round.

Aslan's tactic was to use the musket cavalry completely as shock cavalry. He used the muskets as 10-meter-long lances. And this violent face-to-face shooting tactic proved to be extremely useful.

In the era when cold and hot weapons were used alternately in Europe, the whirling cavalry equipped with a large number of early muskets once used such tactics to eliminate the old lance cavalry that still used only cold weapons.

Although the tactics of the cavalry continued to be updated after that, and in many cases, the cavalry wielding sabers and charging with lances were still considered more effective tactics than using muskets, the musket as a weapon never left the cavalry's armed sequence.

Not only the European cavalry, but also the Eastern cavalry were equipped with muskets on a large scale as their weapons.

From the Egyptian Mamluks praised by Napoleon to the Indian Sikh cavalry praised by the British.

The Dzungar cavalry that fought with the Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years, of course, also included Senggelinqin's Manchu-Mongolian cavalry who killed Earl Baliqiao.

Everyone hurriedly abandoned their traditional bows and arrows and picked up brand new European or self-made muskets.

What really separated the European cavalry from the Eastern cavalry was never the difference in equipment, but the difference in military technology, war concepts and even comprehensive national strength...

Okay, that seems to have gone a bit too far. Let's still talk about this battle.

After three rounds of intensive musket fire at very close range, large groups of enemies fell down like wheat being cut. The remaining wolf cavalry were completely stunned, screaming and turning around to escape, but Aslan's cavalry drew their sabers, chased them, and slaughtered them all.

The elite orc professionals among the wolf cavalry used their strong physique and armor, as well as their barbaric shaman magic, to withstand dozens or even hundreds of lead bullets. But soon, they were also slaughtered by the elite Crusader professionals among the light cavalry.

With a casualty ratio of 571 to 0, the Crusaders won a resounding and unsurprising victory.

This is just the beginning.

In the series of battles that followed, Aslan's Crusaders easily defeated the main force of the gray-skinned orcs.

After the gray-skinned orc shamans tried their best and sacrificed thousands of goblin slaves in exchange for the power of the orcs' main god, the one-eyed Gorush, the musket fire that the Crusaders were proud of was blocked by the blasphemous divine power and could not work.

But soon after, the Crusader Knights wearing heavy armor, under the blessing of the priests of the Goddess of Light, with the powerful blessing, broke through the phalanx line composed of the orcs' crudely made super-long spears in one breath.

After the first row of squares collapsed, the orcs were unable to organize a new round of defense. The orc coalition that just barely looked like a regular army collapsed. Then, it was easy to slaughter them.

And it happened three times in a row.

After completely defeating the orcs' center, the orcs' flanks that had missed the deadline appeared in front of the Crusaders with high morale. One of them chose to fight head-on, but was then beaten to pieces by Morris's phalanx tactics and the magical bombardment of the battle mages accompanying the army.

The other army, after discovering Aslan's army from a distance, turned around and ran without hesitation, but was then chased and harassed by the light cavalry, and was directly defeated. Thousands of orc soldiers ran all over the mountains and plains like headless flies. Some of them were slaughtered by the Crusaders, and some died of starvation and cold after being left alone and lost. Only a very few people managed to run back to the orcs' starting camp.

However, for the orcs, this is not the end, but the beginning of a new disaster.

The Crusader scout who deliberately followed them and fell behind them immediately informed Aslan of the intelligence. Then there was a ruthless massacre of the orc camp.

"Kill them all. We don't need any prisoners."

Following Aslan's order, all orcs, whether adults, minors, old or children, men or women, all the gray-skinned orc coalition soldiers who followed Krieg to attack the Crusaders were all slaughtered.

Their bodies were burned, their heads were chopped off and piled up in the shape of a pyramid, and then sealed with soil as a testament to Aslan's military exploits and a deterrent to all enemies of the Crusaders.

With tens of thousands of orcs and three times or more goblins being slaughtered, the first battle after the Northern Crusaders landed came to an end.

If the elven army that advanced recklessly at the beginning was excluded, the casualty ratio between the Northern Crusaders and the gray-skinned orcs would reach an astonishing figure.

It takes about eight hundred to one thousand gray-skinned orcs to kill one crusader.

If the slaughtered gray goblins were added, the ratio would rise to several thousand to one, which would seem incredible to ordinary people at first glance.

Among these Crusaders killed, a considerable number were non-combat casualties.

Of course, if the initial losses of the elven troops were included, the casualty ratio between the two sides would be around fifteen to one.

Nearly 1,500 half-elf warriors died on the ice and snow of the Northern Territory.
