Just as the whirlwind cavalry from the Tengger Grassland was galloping across the vast western plains of the unprepared Heathrow Empire, the northwest army, which had long been ready to go, was also eagerly waiting for the final order. .
The dawn finally slowly climbed up to the treetops. The early birds jumped and sang excitedly on the branches, sometimes catching and foraging for food. The farmers who got up early had even started to pack their farm tools and make final preparations for the busy day. The farmhouse The smoke rising in twos and threes heralds another busy day. There are not many pedestrians on the official road yet. After all, in this comfortable weather, no one wants to stay in bed for a while longer.
It's another wonderful early summer morning. Although there are frequent wars in this territory, the fertile land is still full of wheat fields. The golden wheat waves gently sway with the breeze, symbolizing that this season is another difficult harvest year. Everything seemed so calm and peaceful, and there was no trace that this was still the Jerok Principality under the control of the Kaman occupation forces. The arrival of the occupation forces did not seem to bring more changes here, at least for now.
The armor-clad officer stretched hard and looked away from the distance, "Well, it's time to take a good rest." He muttered to himself, the officer slightly pinched the horse's belly and turned the horse back, "Brother Everyone, you can go back to camp, it’s another peaceful day, the brothers from the next shift will come to take over soon, let’s go back.”
Immediately behind him is a standard Kaman Centurion, which is a typical mixed centurion responsible for patrols, six infantry ten-man teams, three light cavalry ten-man teams, and one archer ten-man team. An organic patrol whole. After receiving the order from the commander, the soldiers who were on patrol alert breathed a sigh of relief. The front team quickly changed to the rear team. The cavalry also completed the adjustment in a short time, packed up the patrol formation, and began to return. Everything seemed orderly and orderly, showing the excellent overall quality of this patrol team.
I casually glanced at the west, and further west was the territory of the Tanghe people. The superiors had ordered that in order not to irritate the Tanghe people in the west, patrols were prohibited from entering within ten miles of the border between the two sides. The officer corps disapproved of this order. If Tanghe people The He people really want to start a war. No matter how they avoid it, it will be useless. But do they have the ability
He curled his lips contemptuously, and a disdainful smile appeared on the officer's face. Even though the paper tiger was strong on the outside and hard on the inside, could it scare his own side who had been through so many battles? However, I heard that Lord Tanghe in the northwest was not a kind person. I also heard that he once fought with the Luobei people on the Tengger Grassland. I wonder if the Tanghe people were bragging? It is very likely that the people of Tanghe love face so much that even the slightest thing will be blown away by them.
He shook his head, as if to get rid of the complicated thoughts in his mind. Don't think so much. Those are the things that the higher-ups are concerned about. Under the leadership of Lord Maili, I believe that Jerok will soon become a part of the empire. Just like in the Jiama area, a smile slowly appeared on the officer's lips. After this battle, he was probably expected to be promoted to the captain of the Thousand-Man Team, right? None of my colleagues seem to be able to compare with me in terms of seniority and military exploits. Alas, it’s all my fault. Sometimes I offend my boss without even realizing it, but this time it must be my turn. .
Well, the smiling faces of my wife and daughter seem to be floating in front of me again. They have been apart for more than half a year, and I don’t know what the situation is like at home. I must compensate my wife well this time when I go back and fulfill my obligations as a husband and father. I hope this The battle can end earlier, and don't stay in this strange place for too long, although it looks pretty good here.
Just as Officer Kaman on horseback was thinking wildly, the Northwest Independent First Cavalry Division, which was thirty miles away, had completed its final preparations for assembly. Twenty thousand energetic soldiers were lined up. What a sight. What a spectacular scene. Cui Wenxiu, the division commander, is wearing armor and helmet, reining in his horse with a halberd in one hand, his eagle eyes shining brightly, waving his hands and saluting like a bell: "Report to the Jiedushi Master, The independent 1st Cavalry Division has been reorganized, please give your instructions!"
After taking a deep breath, Wu Feng, who was also fully armed, stood alone in front of the formation. His golden armor shone in the rising sun, like a golden-armored demon, and the heavenly momentum enveloped the whole place: "Brothers, allies of the empire. Jerok is in danger. Once Jerok falls, the next victim will definitely be our northwest! Can the new northwest we have built with so much hard work and effort be allowed to be destroyed by these invaders at will, brothers? "
"cannot!"
"Then can we tolerate invaders trampling on the lands of our friendly neighbors and allies?"
"cannot!"
Wu Feng's questioning voice filled with infinite passion became louder and louder. A blush appeared on his radiant face, and his chest rose sharply under his thick armor. Even the horse he was riding was restless and ready to kick. It was obvious that he was also being moved. The exciting atmosphere in front of him was so contagious that 20,000 cavalry were arranged into five orderly huge squares in the huge wilderness. Along with his inciting gestures, Wu Feng's energetic voice was heard in the wilderness. There were earth-shaking responses. The soldiers, who had already regarded Wu Feng as a god, saw the commander's bright and deep eyes pass over them. They all felt that the commander's eyes were reflected deep in their hearts. Hot blood spurted out in an instant.
"Then what are we waiting for? Ahead is our battlefield. It is a great stage for us Northwest hot-blooded men to show their existence. For the honor of the empire and the glory of our Northwest, move forward!"
As the division commander Cui Wenxiu took the lead in riding out, the huge cavalry phalanx started slowly like a huge millstone or a meat grinder with sharpened edges, and soon transformed into an endless expanse of land. Two huge attack arrows formed in the wilderness and shot towards the east.
The more than 20,000 figures of the cavalry division had not completely disappeared from sight. The two mixed divisions in the darkness had already unsheathed their arrows and unloaded them. They were ready to go. They did not make any more arrangements. They just waved their hands and the more than 40,000 soldiers followed the instructions. The established plan was to quickly deploy the formation and follow quickly behind the cavalry comrades.
In the early morning of May 2, 695 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the battle for Jerok that shocked the mainland slowly began in the border area between Guide and Jerok.
More than 20,000 iron cavalry stirred up dust all over the sky, enough to set off a huge storm. The entire earth trembled and groaned under the tread of tens of thousands of iron hooves. Every step forward brought up countless groups of thick black soil, no matter villages, towns or everything. Anything else that dares to block their way forward will be crushed into powder under this unparalleled and indomitable iron hoof storm.
Even the air seemed to tremble slightly, and a faint and huge sound immediately aroused the officer who was riding his horse forward. His horse was snoring uneasily. In surprise, he immediately made a gesture, and the entire team suddenly stopped. And became quiet. The leaves on the branches seemed to be suffering from malaria, making a rustling and trembling sound, alerting countless birds. The expression of the veteran officer suddenly became a little desperate, but just for that moment, the resolute expression returned. It resurfaced on his face, and his years of battle experience were enough for him to determine what exactly happened.
It was too late to think or make any explanation. The slightly pale officer took a long breath and immediately shouted an order: "The ten-man 1st Cavalry team returned to camp quickly to report that the enemy cavalry is attacking from the west, and the number is ominous!"
"The infantry team is arrayed in a defensive formation, with the archers behind them, heading due west!"
"The second and third cavalry units are divided into two wings and prepare!"
Trying his best to suppress the fluttering nervousness, the officer tried his best to look at the western sky. When a black line appeared on the horizon like a wave overflowing the embankment, he completely gave up the last glimmer of hope in his heart, "Damn Tanghe people, If it’s really them, how dare you do this!”
After cursing, his mood calmed down, and he angrily scolded the commotion of his subordinates, but they soon understood that in this situation, any action was in vain, and they might as well risk their lives to get enough. Ben, if you kill more, you will earn one. The entire position was immersed in wordless silence for a while.
The black line that appeared on the horizon quickly changed from thin to thick, followed by the turbulent thunder of iron hooves, rolling up bursts of yellow clouds, and the blackness swept in like a tide. At the front, a golden roc flag was hunting in the wind, indicating that With this, the Northwest Army officially intervened in the Jerok battle.
The suspicion in his mind was finally confirmed. The officer felt relaxed for no reason. He stared straight ahead and his voice became deeper: "Brothers, cheer up. Don't let the faces of our Kaman soldiers be disgraced. Don't let the enemy belittle you." We have seen the fearlessness of our Kaman soldiers. Archers prepare!"
The momentum of the army did not stop for a moment because of the existence of this team that stood firm. Facing such a huge cavalry formation, no matter how capable you are, your personal strength seems insignificant here. Facing the swarm, The coming cavalry soldiers only made a slight wave, and a few fragile shouts were lost in the endless tide of soldiers, just like a pile of sand dunes after a big wave, without any trace.
Before the farmers in the farmhouse even had time to understand what was happening, a group of cavalry roared past with unparalleled momentum, allowing them to truly feel what war was and what a real army was, and they looked at it with incomparable fear and admiration. Following the waves of bears and tigers galloping and roaring forward, I was secretly glad that I had not done anything to them.
At this time, Gomez, the Prime Minister of Kaman who was far away in the Prime Minister's Office in Budli City, the capital of Kaman, was confused by the urgent intelligence he had received: "The Motes raided the western area of Heathrow? How did this happen?" What's going on?"
Seeing the prime minister looking at him with doubtful eyes, the middle-aged man sitting at the base quickly leaned over and said: "The specific situation is not clear yet, but it is said that some time ago, the Sisi Luo people restricted the import of some strategic materials from the areas controlled by the Motte people. The numbers and the Motes are a bit unpleasant, but it doesn't look like they're going to fight each other, which is indeed a bit beyond our expectations."
