When the Velvet Army realized that the Blood Cavalry Army was nearby, the Blood Cavalry Army of course also discovered the location of the Velvet Army.
Before the two armies confronted each other, their respective sentry cavalry started a brutal fight.
But obviously, the sentry cavalry of the blood cavalry army had a clear upper hand, killing the sentry cavalry of the velvet army to pieces.
Even later, Earl Bruggen no longer dared to send out his sentry to investigate the surrounding situation.
In terms of individual bravery and coordination in small-scale battles, the Tinder Army is simply no match for the Blood Cavalry Army, which has been trained in fighting trolls on the ice field for many years.
If the sentry cavalry could not be released, the Tinder Army was no different from a blind man at this time.
They only know that the enemy is nearby, but they don't know in which direction, let alone when and from where the enemy will suddenly attack them.
This fear of the unknown is the most tormenting.
Earl Evan, who hadn't experienced battles much, was already a little panicked, but fortunately, Earl Bruggen wasn't panicked yet.
No matter how powerful the Blood Cavalry Army is, the main force is not here after all.
The Tinder Army still has an absolute advantage in terms of strength.
This advantage allowed Earl Bruggen to remain calm, and calmly issued orders one after another, commanding the Tinder Army to form a defensive formation, and at the same time he did not forget to comfort his son-in-law beside him with a smile:
"Don't be nervous. I don't know what that Colin Angelet was thinking. He chose to flee south, but with the 3,000 cavalry in his hand, if he really dared to attack the formation of the Tinder Army, then I would We will definitely let him go and never return!"
Earl Evan looked at the orderly and well-organized formation of the Tinder Army, and he began to settle down in his heart, and responded with a smile:
"Father-in-law, do you think Colin Angelet is bluffing?"
"bluff?"
"That's right." After Earl Evan calmed down, his head returned to his usual aura, "He sees that the phalanx of the Tinder Army is leak-free, will he deliberately leave a part of sentry horses to cover our eyes and ears, in fact, he has already led the army across We continue to go south to attack Tinder City?"
"Attack Tinder City?"
"That's right!" Earl Evan's face changed, and he said seriously, "We have all brought out the Tinder Army. Isn't Tinder City extremely empty at this time? No wonder, no wonder the Blood Cavalry Army chose to break out to the south! They just wanted to We must lure the Tinder Army out, bypass the Tinder Army, and directly attack Tinder City!"
"It's possible." Earl Bruggen nodded, but then said with a dismissive smile, "Is Tinder City so easy to break through? Although I have already brought out the Tinder Army, there are still tens of thousands of guards in the city." The army, relying on the strong and tall city walls, is definitely not a problem to block the attack of the 3,000 blood cavalry.
When Colin is frustrated at the base of Tinder City, we will lead the army back and double-team the front and rear. This blood cavalry army will be completely buried under Mount Arthias! "
Earl Evan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to flatter his father-in-law when he heard a rush of horseshoes approaching.
blah blah...
Earl Bruggen's face changed, and he immediately said loudly: "Array! Meet the enemy!"
In fact, without his order, the soldiers of the Velvet Army became nervous when they saw the oncoming cavalry.
A huge shield erected around the periphery turned the entire formation of the Tinder Army into a tortoise shell in an instant.
The spears protruding from the gaps in the giant shield made the turtle shell extraordinarily ferocious.
This is the best way for infantry to deal with cavalry in the wild - the phalanx of strong shields and spears.
As the blood cavalry army approached, Earl Evan unconsciously held his breath.
He just thought he had guessed what Colin was thinking, but the reality gave him a slap in the face.
The Blood Cavalry Army did not bypass the Velvet Army to attack the Velvet City, and it seemed that they were planning to storm the Velvet Army's formation
But soon, Earl Evan realized that he had guessed wrong again.
At least this group of nearly a thousand cavalry troops did not come to charge the formation. The previous charge seemed ferocious, and a lot of dust was stirred up, which also created a lot of momentum, but it was outside the formation of the Tinder Army. The safe zone suddenly reined in.
Then while turning the horse's head, he opened his bow and set up an arrow, and began to throw.
The densely packed arrows fell like a torrential rain, and the phalanx of the Velvet Army was in a commotion.
But in fact, due to the protection of the shield and the complete armor of the Tinder Army, the rain of arrows did not cause much damage.
But this blood cavalry squad of about a thousand people rushed back again, still only shooting while maintaining a safe distance.
The archers in the Velvet Army also started to fight back, but the targets moving at high speed were obviously more difficult to hit, so the casualties of each other were very sporadic.
But this kind of counterattack must still be carried out, otherwise the morale of the army will soon decline, and the psychological pressure of the soldiers will also rise.
Earl Evan looked at the blood cavalry army going back and forth, seeing that they were not as scary as they imagined, he felt relieved, and couldn't help laughing:
"It seems that the Blood Cavalry Army is nothing more than that."
Earl Bruggen glanced at him, knowing that the opponent hadn't been on the battlefield much, so he patiently explained: "They are testing."
"Exploring?"
"That's right. It's like a seasoned hunter, looking for the prey's flaws, and when they find...they will launch a thunderous blow!"
Earl Evan's expression was serious, but he still pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "But facing the huge shield and spear phalanx of the Velvet Army, even the Blood Cavalry Army has nothing to do?"
Count Bruckner didn't answer.
Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway.
Just from these few rounds of tentative attacks launched by the Blood Cavalry Army, Earl Bruggen already knew that the opponent was indeed the strongest cavalry he had ever seen in his life!
No wonder being able to kill the troll in the sky ice field was in a state of embarrassment.
In fact, ever since the Pegasus Legion was completely wiped out in Silvermoon City, the nobles of the Eastern Realm have been very enthusiastic about this terrifying northern cavalry.
As for the "No. 1 army in the East", the Tinder Army immediately made how to deal with the cavalry, or how to deal with the blood cavalry, the first priority of daily training.
But no matter how targeted the training was, no matter how well prepared he was, when Earl Bruggen really faced the Blood Cavalry on the battlefield, he finally felt the real oppressive force.
Even though the opponent hadn't started the most explosive charge yet, Earl Bruggen was already worried about whether the phalanx of the Tinder Army could block the attack of the Blood Cavalry Army.
Feeling the oppression of the atmosphere, Earl Evan also closed his mouth tactfully.
Not long after, the Blood Cavalry Army who were hovering around the Velvet Army suddenly went away, and the battlefield returned to calm for a while.
This made many soldiers of the Tinder Army feel extremely uncomfortable.
"It's over?" Earl Evan wondered.
Earl Bruggen's expression froze to the extreme, and he slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"No. The real battle has just begun!"
