Riding and Slashing

Trubrun.

This once deserted village has been rebuilt, and now it is the territory of Ors, the head of the Owl Knights.

When Li Ang was granted the title of Grand Duke of Changhe Town, Trublen was granted to him.

However, this place was not built as a settlement, but was built as a sentry fortress by Ols.

Ols is a very self-aware person. He thinks that he has neither the ability nor the financial resources to build this place into a wealthy town like Maixiangling, so he chooses to build this place into an outpost between Changhe Town and Maixiangling. .

This is also in line with the specialties of the owl knights. As long as there are enemies around, the night owls can always find out first and quickly notify Mai Xiangling and Changhe Town.

Kairos led the cavalry to attack Mai Xiangling, and thanks to Ors' warning in advance, the non-commissioned officers had ample time to evacuate the farmers and transfer supplies.

But Ols did not evacuate Trubrun. He made a completely different decision this time - to fight a blocking battle in Trubrun.

It wasn't that Ors had suddenly become a hero, in fact he was trembling with worry... He was very worried that the Order of Owls would be destroyed here.

But some people, after becoming a lord, only know how to domineering; while some people will always think of responsibilities and obligations.

Aurs is now a noble lord, no longer the leader of an outlaw order.

In Aurs's view, as a lord, he has the responsibility to guard the land, and the villagers should evacuate, but he must not escape.

Therefore, after he discovered Kailos' troops, he asked some of his owl knights to lead the villagers to Longhe Town, while he stayed here with some knights who voluntarily faced the mortal battle.

But I didn't expect that when Kailos passed by Trublen, he didn't stop for half a step, but went straight to Maixiang - the whole cavalry unit really didn't need to pay attention to this outpost, and Kailos didn't plan to capture it. For any castle, his purpose is to force Li Ang to fight Bacchus.

Kairos's actions this time are actually more like looters, especially Gatu looters - they don't attack fortified cities, they only destroy villages and towns.

After destroying the Maixiang collar, Kailos passed by the vicinity of Trublen again on the way to Changhe Town, still ignoring this outpost...

Seeing the enemy pass by his territory twice, but did not stop at all, Ols could of course see that this was the way of the looters - there were only a hundred people in the sentinel fortress of Trubrun, this None of them are willing to attack, which means that the enemy is neither willing to waste time nor to fight a tough battle.

In the past 20 years, when Ors was wandering as an illegal knight, in the process of helping the village, he often faced looters.

Since this is the case, Aurs is not so afraid...

Then the non-commissioned officers from Mai Xiangling arrived, determined to stop the enemy here.

Ols is one of the few people who knows that these 'farmers' are elite fighters - the first time he met Leon was because he met Leon's original non-commissioned officer unit in Troubrun.

As a result, Ors, who had been waiting for the enemy's attack with the determination to die, recalled all the owl knights, and began to take the initiative to launch a guerrilla night attack on Kairos' troops.

The purpose of Ols is to delay - the most uncomfortable thing for a looter who is unwilling to fight a tough battle is to be delayed.

If it was a head-on confrontation, the Owl Knights would definitely not be able to withstand a charge of the Shadow Legion, but when it comes to night scouting battles, the night owls must be the top in the entire continent.

Since the moment Kailos' team decided to retreat south outside Changhe Town, accidents have continued to occur.

First, when the camp was camped at night, there were constant alarms of enemy attacks in all directions. The army assembled three times in an emergency at night, and did not sleep all night, but after each assembly, no trace of the enemy could be found...

The sleep-deprived army then spent the whole day withdrawing only as far as the vicinity of Troubrun.

No matter what kind of army you are in, you won't get up fast without a good night's sleep.

On the second night, Kailos ordered to rest in batches, and one-third of the people were always on standby.

But it was useless, there were not so many enemy attacks this night, but as long as the outlying sentries at night were singled out, they would inevitably disappear mysteriously.

Over a dozen scouts went missing overnight, but they didn't even see the enemy...

At this moment, Kairos naturally understood that the sentry fortress of Trubrun was not an ordinary militia sentry. If they were not killed, they probably would not be able to sleep.

But unexpectedly, after Kailos led the army to attack Trubrun, what he faced was a car formation built by a vast number of horse-drawn carriages—there were indeed many horse-drawn carriages in Mai Xiangling, and it was a wholesale market and a bus fleet. There are many passenger cars and trucks.

The cavalry would have suffered heavy losses, so Kailos turned his head and withdrew, but within a few miles, he found the Sarleon cavalry chasing him.

Those cavalry were not many in number, but they chased them resolutely, as if they were about to catch up and fight a battle of annihilation.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of situation where a few people chase the majority generally means that there are more large troops behind them-this is also in line with the current situation, and the Noldor elves are likely to come over soon.

Kailos had no choice but to let the large army turn back and destroy the chasing cavalry.

But as soon as the large army turned back, the cavalry quickly dispersed into several small groups, and then disappeared in a flash—they were too familiar with the geographical environment of this area.

There was no other way, so Kailos had no choice but to continue to retreat, but as soon as he turned his head, another cavalry of a hundred men chased him... This time it was the Owl Knights, because it was already dusk again.

As a result, for several days in a row, I couldn’t sleep at night, and I couldn’t march normally during the day. It’s definitely not the way to go on like this...

Moreover, if they continued to retreat to the southwest, they would have to pass through the foggy area for hundreds of miles. Since the opponent appeared to be very strong at night, they might suffer great losses in the foggy area...

In fact, Kairos's judgment was a bit wrong. The Owl Knights are indeed very powerful at night, but that is because they are used to night operations. Knights are no different from ordinary people...

But Kailos didn't know this. In order not to let these people follow into the foggy area, Kailos could only make up his mind to kill these annoying tails.

But in the early morning, when Kailos saw these tails again, what he saw was a large group of carriages—not far from where he camped, taking advantage of the night scouts of the Owl Knights, the non-commissioned officers led by Mai Xiang The car formation moved near Kailos' camp.

It was obvious that Ols and the non-commissioned officers wanted Kairos to withdraw into the foggy area.

Now Kairos has no choice but to fight, even if the loss is bigger, he will accept it. If these people are not killed, the price will be even heavier.

In fact, the non-commissioned officers didn't use any particularly clever tactics, it was nothing more than conventional guerrilla warfare, coupled with the flexible use of carriages, combined with the night advantage of the Owl Knights to continue to press.

However, this is just right for the current situation.

Adding up, Kailos was dragged around here for almost ten days—although the number was six times that of the opponent, the cavalry formation was really impossible.

Kailos used the centurions of the Shadow Legion to dismount as infantry. The troops of the Bacchus Empire are quite powerful when fighting in formation, but even so, after six or seven days, they still failed to completely gnaw the chariot formation. down.

But the non-commissioned officers did lose a lot. Kailos' troops were quite powerful. When Li Ang arrived, one-third of the non-commissioned officers had died in battle, almost all of them were wounded, and were on the verge of collapse.

The biggest reason for keeping the non-commissioned officers from collapsing is a reason that even Li Ang himself didn't think of - they all knew that Li Ang was about to be crowned king...

After all, it was reported by Eric, and Eric and these non-commissioned officers are all comrades in arms.

As the first army under Li Ang, a partner of Maixiang Group, the first batch of manor owners under Li Ang, the Yuan Cong army who used to eat and make money with Li Ang, what will become of Li Ang's queen?
After Li Ang got Changhe Town, he immediately made some non-commissioned officers become tax officers.

And if Leon becomes king, what will they do?
Loyalty and determination, or firm belief, usually come from hope for the future.

Moreover, Li Ang has always been very generous to his own people, and Eric is already a big shot now.

Kairos really didn't expect the 400 people in this area to be so resilient. When he could see the Noldor elves appearing from the southeast with the naked eye, he knew that he had to evacuate immediately regardless of the loss.

In other words, it is not called evacuation, but escape.

Li Ang brought all the Noldor elves, the number was close to 800, and there were more than [-] cavalry among them. In fact, most of the Noldor could ride horses, but the Noldor elves did not raise many horses.

He brought all the Noldor spirits who were willing to obey Leon's command, except for the army of Dale Dill.

Anyone who sees a Noldor of this size will flee...

After all, even the 'militia' among the Noldor elves, that is, ordinary Noldor hunters, are basically equivalent to the top elites of humans.

If the Noldor Forest hadn't been burned, Leon would not be able to bring so many Noldor elves willing to obey his orders...

Kailos no longer cared about the loss, he left the hundreds of people in the attacking car formation, let them back up, and then led the others to quickly flee in the direction of Seren Meath.

Fleeing to Serlemath, of course, in order to retreat directly south to Karenbuck.

But of course Leon didn't want Kailos to escape just like that. He led the horse-riding Noldor elves in pursuit all the way, and caught up with Kairos' troops in the south of Serum Meath.

The Noldo elves are light in equipment, and the Noldomars are faster, so they can naturally catch up.

However, when Kairos no longer cared about the loss, the Shadow Legion became terrifying instead.

As the commander-in-chief of the Shadow Legion, Kailos's martial arts are indeed top-notch, and all members of the Shadow Legion are also good at martial arts. This legion inherited from General Osa has not decayed in the past 160 years. They are just in line with Emperor Marius' policy. It just doesn't fit.

Li Ang, who was carrying [-] Nuodo, found that Kairos's team had dismounted when he had just chased after Kairos's team!
Kairos made the troops abandon their horses, and drove at least half of the horses back to charge, disrupting the lineup of the Noldor elves.

Afterwards, the Shadow Army united into a square formation, formed a rigorous formation with large shields and spears, and turned back to fight against Li Ang.

This is a very practical and simple tactic-show the enemy weak, wait for an opportunity to disrupt the enemy, and then use the army formation to fight against the disorderly cavalry.

Kairos put himself on the weak side, even though he had more numbers.

The military formation used is also very old-a square formation composed of swords, shields and spears.

But this simple tactic appeared at this time, and Li Ang couldn't break it...

Because what the Noldor are worst at is fighting in formation...

Most of them were not fighters originally, and many of them came with hatred;
In addition, the Noldor are always habitual rescue companions. This is of course a good habit, but it will disrupt your lineup during battles.

What does it take to fight in formation?
Good discipline, a stable mind, and most importantly - no fear of sacrifice.

But none of these points are available to the Noldor...

The long contradictory formation is a slow hedgehog. If there is still a distance between the two armies, the Noldor elves can easily deal with such a lineup-if there is a slope or trench, the Noldor elves can shoot everything with bows and arrows.

But now the two armies are basically facing each other, and the lineup of the Noldor elves has been dispersed by thousands of horses. Kailos' sudden attack really caught the Noldor elves by surprise.

Li Ang hurriedly ordered to disperse and retreat, but the hatred-eyed Noldo elves were close to their enemies at this moment. Except for the ranger guards who were more familiar with Li Ang, the other Noldo rushed up crazily...

The Noldor elves, who didn't have a gun, rode a high-speed horse and charged the spear array with a sword and shield...

The Noldor elves, who were originally superior in overall strength, lost dozens of people in a single meeting, and in the follow-up battles, they could only exchange one with the enemy!

Because they fought in a state of scattered soldiers, they basically fought on their own.

It looks sad, but that's the price of being blinded by hate...

"Back...back, don't rush! What the fuck!"

Li Ang shouted hoarsely, but seeing that the Noldors were still charging in the form of scattered soldiers, he took out all the grenades on his body, ignited them all, and threw them towards Kairos' troops.

If the grenade is used in a planned way, it can achieve good results in the face of the dense shield formation, but now, in order to reduce the losses of the Noldor elves, Li Ang has to use this big killer as a simple reminder.

He was still some distance away from Kailos' troops, and the grenades were basically only thrown on the shields of the surrounding soldiers.

"Boom!" "Boom..."

After being hit by the shield shell, the grenade exploded, causing only five Bacchus shield hand injuries...

But the loud noise of the grenade alerted the Noldor...

Here, there is a magister!

Most of the Noldor elves who were finally awakened from their hatred began to retreat, but Kairos turned a deaf ear to the explosion, and he also led his men to retreat quickly.

When Li Ang finally regrouped the dispersed Noldor elves, Kairos's team had already retreated to a hilltop - there are many mountains in this area.

Now, it is impossible to quickly solve Kairos, even the Noldor elves, it is difficult to shoot at the Bacchus crossbowmen occupying the hill.
