Chapter 307: The use of light cavalry

On a sunny morning, the soldiers are preparing for the battle in the camp. This preparation has been going on for more than half a month, from the end of June to the middle of July.

In fact, they have nothing to prepare. Maintenance of swords, shields, armor and spears is required every day. Now most of them are only training in the camp.

Although the physical training has been cancelled in order to save physical strength and reduce fatigue during the battle, in order to maintain a good state in the next battle, they still train each other with real swords and real guns.

Moreover, while training, they will also wear neat armor, one is to prevent casualties, and the other is to make the body accustomed to fighting in armor.

There was a lot of noise in the camp, the sentries were constantly patrolling the surrounding area, and the steppe hussars were also lightly dressed, cruising within 15 kilometers around Fort Andonia.

In the temporary residence of Theodosius, all the generals of the military district and the officers of Beauliet Khan gathered here.

Theodosius and Borret Khan sat on the main seat, and in front of them was a topographic map. This topographic map was drawn by the light cavalry and sent over, and then drawn together by many officers for reference and speculation.

This map marked the area from the south of Fort Andonia to 30 kilometers north of the Imperial Capital of the Northern Empire, an area of ​​500,000 square kilometers.

It indicated the locations of twenty-six castles, seven cities, and eighteen towns, and roughly speculated about the number of defenders and the locations where the enemy troops gathered.

If we continue to advance, this map can provide the army with a fairly good strategic advantage, but unfortunately, Theodosius has decided to wait for the main force of the enemy army at Fort Andonia.

Therefore, this map can only play a role in the process of continuing to advance after defeating the main force of the Northern Empire.

"Gentlemen, the enemy has already departed from their imperial capital and is expected to arrive fifteen kilometers south of Fort Andonia in fourteen to twenty days, to cheer up the warriors, I don't want any People lose their lives because of momentary negligence!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

These military generals also nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Theodosius said again: "Count Camota, Taritlujah is peerless, the two of you will take your respective military districts to the hilly area on the west side of Fort Andonia, and take the lead in occupying the advantageous terrain. Give me a firm hold and wait for my order!"

"Understood!" Count Camota and Sir Taritlujah nodded their heads. In the militarized country of the Rhine Kingdom, everyone has such an extremely strict execution of orders.

Theodosius nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Beauliet Khan beside him.

"Father, I need your hussars to increase the patrol range to 30 kilometers. As long as the enemy is found, they will harass the enemy's marching queue as soon as possible, just like the light cavalry under your command, as long as they are well placed When the battle is over, retreat immediately, without giving them a chance to counterattack, and pay special attention to staying away from the enemy's archers, any soldier's death will not be worth the loss!"

"Okay, I understand what you mean!" Bolet Khan nodded.

The light cavalry had little effect on the frontal battlefield, so Theodosius dispatched the light cavalry of Beauliet Khan behind the enemy lines.

This kind of troops has a very small advantage in the frontal battlefield, but as long as it is used well, it can have a huge effect.

Just like now, sending them to harass the enemy's food transportation and army buildup after dispatching them to harass the enemy effectively caused the army of the northern lords of the northern empire to demoralize and cause a lot of casualties.

And besides that, as Theodosius had just said to Beaulieu Khan, these light cavalry could harass the enemy while they were marching.

It was impossible to maintain a combat formation when they were marching, so they took this opportunity to catch the enemy by surprise. After they reacted and formed an array, the light cavalry patted their butts and ran away.

In this way, in addition to causing a certain amount of losses to the enemy, it can also affect their marching speed, break away from the marching formation, and set up a combat formation, which also takes time.

And if you do this a few times, it can make the enemy feel extremely annoyed and significantly affect morale.

And if the enemy sees the light cavalry fleeing, they may still pursue it. Unfortunately, the light cavalry is equipped with multiple horses. If the enemy's knights do not join the pursuit and rely on the speed and endurance of the horses to catch up, the rest Infantry or even mounted squires could hardly keep up with light cavalry.

Moreover, this is also an opportunity. If the enemy catches up, if an elite heavy cavalry unit is sent to rush up, it will be a massacre. The cavalry and infantry who cannot form a formation are not as good as a sheep in front of the heavy cavalry. more threatening.

This is also one of the tactics used by the Mongolian army during his previous Mongolian expedition. Although the Mongolian army also has a large number of Han heavy infantry recruited from the homeland of Liao and Jin, the Mongolian iron cavalry wearing top heavy armor is always on the battlefield. Absolute main force.

Just like the Rine Knights are the absolute main force of the Rine Kingdom, although there are few people, as long as they are put on the battlefield, they can basically play the role of finalizing the word.

Unfortunately, Theodosius didn't have enough heavy cavalry to send out casually, so he could only use light cavalry to perform harassment missions.

At the same time, at a distance of 80 kilometers south of Fort Andonia ~ www.readwn.com~ a large number of light cavalry are gathering here, and they all have to accept the command of the thousand commander of Eurobis.

The Thousand Masters of Eurobis was a distant relative of Bolet Khan, and his kinship was so far away that he had nothing to do with the succession of the Milos kingdom.

But even so, as a distant relative of the Doanak family, a member of the royal family, he still got enough opportunities, and showed his talent, and was highly valued by Borete Khan.

At the age of thirty-two, he fought with Borete Khan from the age of sixteen. Although there were not too many disputes on the grasslands, there were not many. There were a large number of wandering bandits in this land where nomadic and settled coexisted.

In the past few years, Bolet Khan has been fighting against the Kingdom of Berikev, and he has a lot of opportunities to lead the battle.

His most glorious victory was to lead a partial division, 300 steppe hussars, 1,200 steppe infantry and 800 herdsmen to raid a castle in the Kingdom of Belikev, thereby getting through to Beli. The passage in the kingdom of Kaiv echoes the army of Bolet Khan, and seizes the opportunity to attack the enemy from the rear during the fierce battle.

That was the last battle between the Kingdom of Milos and the Kingdom of Berikev, and now there is no such country as the Kingdom of Berikev.
