Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 686 Flying Shark Cavalry Regiment

"The ships of the navy are larger than the ships of the Adler Sea, and they also have stronger transportation capabilities."

"If the purpose of using naval ships by the people of O'San Emma is not to occupy more lakes in the Adlai Sea and gain wider water control, but to transport..."

Gerald Walton frowned like the roots of an old tree. He subconsciously took out the pipe from his arms and put it in his mouth. Suddenly realizing that he was not alone in the room, he looked apologetically at the young man in front of him. Marquis.

"You're done smoking, no problem." Cyril signaled before he lit the tobacco and started to smoke it.

The pungent smell gradually permeated the room, and circles of gray-black smoke circles floated above their heads.Cyril didn't expect the commander of the Fifth Army to smoke so much, but he didn't care, he just drew a few circles on the military map with a pen.

"However, even if sea-going ships do not initiate an active attack, their existence will cause us to completely lose our initiative in the Adlai Sea."

"Without the initiative of the Adele Sea, we can only watch as the people of St. Emma continue to bring troops over...cough, cough, cough!"

Gerald Walton finally spoke. After he finished speaking, he coughed hard for a while, and the skin on his face was twisted into a ball.

"General Walton, you'd better pay attention to your health. Those young people don't smoke as much as you do."

"I'm used to it, I'm used to it." Walton put down the pipe, shook his head and said, "I need this kind of stimulation to keep my emotions in a state of excitement so that I won't be easily distracted...let's continue talking."

His finger landed next to the map of Hylia.

"No matter what, the people of Ao San Emma will launch a main attack on Hylia first, as for the follow-up..."

Before he finished speaking, the door behind him was slammed open——

"My lord general, urgent report!" A young scout rushed in. He was out of breath and was about to speak when he saw the young Marquis standing in the room. past.

Cyril stepped forward and sent a gust of recovery wind to slow down the scout: "Say it, don't panic."

"Marquis, Lord Marquis, yes!" He hastily gave a military salute and said loudly: "Most of the villages and towns between Hailia and Pakri have been destroyed by unknown forces. The Adler area leads to Hailia. The entire area has been blocked by the Orsan Emma, ​​and Hylia has been besieged!"

"what!!"

Walton's eyes were wide open, he turned around and immediately buried himself in the military map on the table—Pakri, one of the five cities in the Adler region closest to Hylia, is an important fulcrum to ensure the connection with Hylia .

Now that the battle has only started less than half a day, how could it be possible that the villages and towns between Hailia and Pakri, as well as the transportation fulcrums, were completely destroyed by the people of Ao San Emma, ​​leaving Hailia in an "isolated city" situation?
What troop did the Osan Emma send ashore?
This question made Captain Walton frown. He took a few puffs of the pipe again, and then shook the map in his hand vigorously, saying firmly:

"We must rush to help Hailia immediately, and Hailia must not lose this point."

"However, we have no way of knowing how many ships of the Adelaide Sea there are now." Cyril calmly analyzed: "Without the information of the Adelaide Sea, the Adelaide Sea will be occupied by the Adelaide Sea. Absolute initiative, they can move quickly on the water by boat, no matter which city they want to attack, we can only follow them and be led away."

"Our ships can't be damaged while rushing towards those sea ships." Gerald Walton put his hands behind his back and began to pace the house quickly, "If the people of Osanta Emma can mobilize troops so casually, then the garrison The team cannot be transferred at will, and the Halix Legion can't find many troops to support Hylia."

"Damn it... I never thought that I would lose the initiative in Adlai Sea..." He muttered to himself, but he heard the young Marquis in front of him suddenly say:
"How many people can you take out?"

"Ok?"

"How many people can be sent to support Hylia." Cyril pointed to the area between Parick and Hailia, "I will bring a large force to support Hailia, how many people can you send here, we Some experienced amphibious combat soldiers are needed, as well as guides who are familiar with the terrain."

"Master Marquis, you..." Gerald Walton stomped his feet excitedly after hearing this, "This, I, I, I dispatched the Flying Shark Knights to obey you, this is the maneuver I can come up with The most powerful cavalry unit..."

"That's it, let them gather outside the north gate of St. Heitel. The garrison of the rest of Adler's city, please leave it to your Fifth Army."

The young Marquis brushed off his sleeves, turned around and opened the door neatly, without even giving the legion commander a chance to say goodbye or bless him, he closed the door and left.

"nightmare--"

He galloped out of the city hall, and the moment he jumped out the door, the pitch-black Nightmare Horse almost emerged from the void and jumped out together with him.He got on his horse, and the arrogant flames of the Nightmare Horse frightened all the townspeople to give way, letting him gallop on St. Hytel's Avenue.

He sat firmly on the galloping horseback, the wind element surged, and quickly condensed into a blue carrier pigeon on the back of his hand. With a wave of his arm, the wind element carrier pigeon flapped its wings and rushed into the In the high-altitude wind, head towards the southwest.

At this time, the assembled horns at the northern city gate of St. Hytel sounded loudly. When Cyril arrived at the northern city gate on horseback, he saw teams of cavalry quickly gathering outside the city gate. Nearly 70 troops lined up Form a neat square formation, this is the Flying Shark Knights mentioned by Gerald Walton.

Cyril glanced at them from a distance. They were dressed in uniform dark blue and light gray light armor. The horses under their crotches were only protected by simple light armor on the horse's head.

The horses they ride are not the same as the horses of the common knights. They are shorter than ordinary mounts and have thicker legs.It doesn't look like smooth skin, but a layer of scales with texture.

These horses are all hybrids with water creatures and are called "Jiao horses". They are more flexible in the water than ordinary horses, and they swim faster.

The spears equipped with flying shark knights are also shorter and thicker than those of ordinary knights, which makes it easier for them to launch powerful stabs underwater.

This is indeed the most capable unit of the Shark Corps, proficient in amphibious warfare and the most mobile unit.

Gerald Walton was not stingy in this regard. He knew that the main theme of the Shark Corps in the ensuing long battle would be the five cities stationed in the Adler area.Cutting off the opponent's troops, going out of the city to fight back, and robbing the control of the Adlai Sea, such tasks are absolutely out of their turn in the short term.

Rather than letting his proud mobile unit nest in the city, it is better to use it for the young marquis and exert its maximum effect.

Cyril quickly rode his horse out of the city gate, crossed the suspension bridge, and stopped in front of the Flying Shark Knights who had completed their formation.

"Who is the commander?" he asked loudly.The leading knight immediately rode forward, half-bowed on the horse's back and said, "It's me, Lord Marquis. My name is Raymond. It is our honor to fight side by side with Lord Marquis."

"Raymond." Cyril said quickly, "Do you understand our next mission?"

"Understood, Lord Marquis." Raymond took off the unique shark fin-like helmet, revealing a handsome young face, "We will go to support Hylia."

"It is to support Hylia, keep the transportation of Pakri and Hylia smooth, and keep Hylia from being besieged. As an auxiliary force, we will launch an attack from the flanks against the large troops that landed on the Ao San Emma." Cyril corrected road.

"Yes, my lord!" Raymond shivered, and the slight contempt for the young marquis in his heart disappeared completely.

He originally thought that this young Marquis should not have much military attainment—look at that tender and excessive face, a normal military student is still understanding how to use the terrain and how to use different arms correctly.

Military matters cannot be understood by just looking at military books.Without the tempering of battle after battle, no matter how talented a general is, he will suffer several losses in actual combat.

And the young marquis's personal strength was already exaggerated, and he shouldn't have made any achievements in leading troops to fight.

But the few words he said casually made Raymond understand that the young Marquis was very clear about the mission goals and objectives of the troops he would lead, and he was able to make targeted changes closely around this objective.

How could Cyril know that the commander of this cavalry regiment had so many thoughts in his mind.However, compared to when he first came to this world, his military literacy is so high that he doesn’t know where it is. He usually analyzes cases with Atsk—the latter is a genius commander who was let go by the Kingdom’s military. And after being tempered by the Northern Xinjiang War, it is transforming at an extremely terrifying speed.

He didn't make any delays, and he didn't need to question the combat effectiveness of the Flying Shark Cavalry. If Gerald could hand over a unit with extremely poor discipline and low combat effectiveness to him at this time, then this battle It seems that there is no need to fight any more.

They advanced rapidly along the periphery of the Adler area.The five cities of Adler are distributed along the coast of Adelaide, forming an arc, from the beginning to the end are "Hylia", "Pakri", "St. .

St. Hytel is located in the middle, and the distance from the cities on both sides should have been about the same.However, due to its unique geography, the distance between Hylia and Parkri is greater than other cities, so the distance they have to travel is longer than imagined.

They chose to advance on the outskirts of the Adler area because they were not clear about the situation in the area around Park Cree. They didn't know if there were any other troops from the Osan Emma who had come ashore. If they were blocked, the consequences would be disastrous.

It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon when they left St. Hytel, and it was almost seven o'clock in the evening when they reached the Parkri boundary at full speed.

The rapid march of more than two hours made the cavalry of the Flying Shark Cavalry Regiment look tired. Fortunately, the rapid march did not continue, and Cyril gave them temporary repair time.

"Raymond."

When Raymond heard the young Marquis' cry, he immediately put down the kettle and rushed over.Cyril was leaning on Nightmare's horse, staring intently at the map in his hand, and asked him:
"Is there anyone in your team near Parkri? Tell me about this place."

"Parkley... Benedict, you belong to Parkley, right?" Raymond called back.

"Yes, Commander!" A voice sounded behind him, and the cavalryman who had been resting stood up and rushed to Cyril's side, "Master Marquis, I am willing to serve you."

"Let me introduce Parkri, mainly about the terrain." Cyril looked at him. He was a red-haired young man who looked to be in his early 20s and was extremely energetic.

"Terrain..." Benedict recalled, "There is no particularly famous place near Parkri, right? The mouth of the Amasir River is also near St. Hytel, and it has nothing to do with Parkri."

"Nothing special?" Cyril asked.

"To put it bluntly... Parkeri has a very protruding and wide shoal, which produces a kind of shellfish called 'sand probe'. When the tide is low in the morning, go to the shoal to touch it. These are all these shellfish protruding from the fine sand. cowry."

"A big shoal?" Cyril frowned, "Where is the location?"

"On the northeast side of Pakri, on the way to Hylia, there is a small village called Shake Village nearby."

Cyril held up the map and asked Benedict to circle the approximate location on it.

This location is quite far away from Parkri, and is not within Parkli's monitoring range.Cyril's finger extended along the shoal all the way to the inland, and finally turned upwards, pointing at Hylia.

"found it."

The knight Raymond, who had been watching from the sidelines, was stunned when he heard Cyril's swearing voice: "Ah? Lord Marquis, what did you find?"

"The people of St. Emma came ashore from this place." Cyril said quickly, "then ran along this road all the way, and then turned to Hylia to encircle Hylia."

"So that's the case...but how did you know?"

"The speed at which they penetrate is very fast, which shows that they are not purely infantry units, and the extraordinary carrying capacity provided by those sea ships, if I were the commander of Ao San Emma, ​​I would definitely send my invincible Earth Dragon Legion Put it here first."

"And if the Earth Dragon Legion wants to land, they need a large shoal."

"I see... Wait, you mean, Dilong?"

"That's right, is there any problem?" Cyril raised his head and looked at the puzzled knight Raymond.

"So... we are going to fight the Earth Dragon Legion?" Lei Meng was even more surprised.

"Do you have any objections?" Cyril stared back at his words lightly, "If not, form a team, get on the horse, and set off immediately."

"Stop them before the earth dragons complete their encirclement of Hylia."
