Surrounded by three hundred Guards cavalry, Fatty rode his horse into the scarred Fort Stromonido.

Wherever he looked, he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him.

The huge city wall collapsed in the thick smoke, like a wide open but silent mouth, vividly describing the cruelty of the battle in front of you.

Even Fatty saw such a huge gap for the first time.

You can imagine what kind of situation they were in at that time, before the Thunder God Soldiers finally decided to blow up the entire city wall to relieve the pressure of siege.

"Thank you for your hard work! We will definitely avenge this blood feud!"

The fat man got off the horse and supported Hutu Emma's almost weak body. With a brief sentence, he wiped away the sorrow and anger on Hu Tuima's face. Behind him, there were only a few people, less than a thousand people. The left and right can still stand up, while the others can only lie on the ground, but their eyes are still hot. It is conceivable that if the Nords continue to attack, they will fight fiercely until the last person is left.

In just 2 hours, Hutu Aima's Thor Banner, with its 6,000-strong force, faced off against 30,000 Nord elites. After the war, the entire banner regiment suffered 5,394 casualties, and the battle damage ratio exceeded five-sixths.

Under their tenacious resistance, they had an absolute advantage in strength. The Nord Fourth Army, known as the Nord Guards, also suffered unimaginable heavy losses. In just two hours, it was also a difficult battle for the Nord Fourth Army. The nightmare of belief, the passionate fighting spirit and the unique stubbornness of the Nord army made their casualties extremely heavy. It describes that 27,000 siege troops were invested and eight attacks were launched. Although they finally achieved a suppressive advantage, the number of Nord army corpses lying under the fortress alone reached more than 6,000, with squadron flags lying horizontally and vertically. The pitted slopes still belched out black smoke, and the stumps and broken arms covering the ground were shocking. [This chapter is provided for you]

The corners of Fatty's eyes were a little blurry. This encounter was short, but the huge disparity in troop strength ratio was destined to leave a glorious mark in history. Its significance was also very huge for the Falcon Dynasty.

The victory in the Battle of Stromonido Castle not only annihilated most of the invading Nord Fourth Army, but also acted like a gate, quickly reversing the situation that the Falcon Dynasty originally expected to be attacked from both sides. This appearance was beaten into a Incomplete, but extremely strong inside, the fortress will become a turning point in the Falcon Dynasty's southward campaign.

In the early morning of October 30, in the faint morning light, the flag of the Falcon Light Cavalry appeared like a ghost in front of the marching Third Flag Regiment of the Fifth Army of Nord. The Nords were stunned and stunned. Please familiarize yourself with the domain name of the book website. ” It’s like divine soldiers descending from heaven, Horse hooves rumbled, the wind howled, and the Nord cavalry in black armor swooped down the hillside like an avalanche. A thousand shining sabers were like lightning and a whirlwind. They suddenly rushed into the exposed Nord infantry. Team!

Thunder-like horse hooves kicked down, and countless sharp Vecian swords flashed with a dazzling white light, which was frightening. Thousands of people were shouting "Kill!" Shocked by this power, Nord was retreating. There was a burst of noise from the soldiers

"The Vekians are coming!", "Help!" The impact of the cavalry was like a storm passing over the ground. At the moment of contact, it was like a strong wind blowing down weak grass, and the Nord army lay dead on the ground.

The Nord army was arranged in a long formation that was convenient for marching. Faced with a sudden flank attack, they were unable to mobilize their troops in time to respond. If the Nord commander was sober enough at this time, he would realize that what he was chasing was only a small number of light cavalry cavalry. He only needed to take a strong counterattack to push them back or even surround and annihilate them.

But the Nords were completely frightened by the light cavalry roaring past the camp. This was their third consecutive raid in one night, and ignorant fear exaggerated the enemy's strength. He believed that he had been bitten by the main force of the Falcon Cavalry. Because most of the Falcon Cavalry are from the Kugits, this tactic of multiple attacks is very consistent with the description of the rumored wolf pack tactics of the Kugits.

Eager to rush to the front line, join the rear troops and save food and grass, Commander Nord could only order the troops under attack to fight on their own, while the rest of the troops only had to move quickly to throw off the pursuing troops.

"Catch up and kill them!"

Amoriza, the captain of the Fourth Squadron of the Central Guards Cavalry, loudly ordered the Guards Cavalry under his command. He doesn't like to lead the charge like other squadron leaders.

But during the fierce battle, his position was very far ahead

Commanders must be on the front lines in order to grasp changes in the war situation in a timely manner and adapt accordingly. It was the same this time. He originally just wanted to conduct a sneak attack on the retreating Nord army.

But now it seems that the enemy's response is very problematic. There is a lack of systematic command among the units. Even when the rear unit is attacked, the front army does not come back to rescue. Although he does not understand the reason, he can keenly understand the reason. Feel,

The enemy is very exposed, so you can take advantage of the opportunity!

He immediately changed his original plan of hit and run and ordered to pursue the enemy's baggage train in succession. The Guards Cavalry roared to catch up, their surging horse hooves raising dust and smoke all over the sky. It was like a whirlwind suddenly blowing on the mountain road, and the shining saber shined in the morning light.

The cavalry's dispersed attack tactics this time were very simple. They concentrated all the guards cavalry, took advantage of the gaps between the Nord infantry corps that had not yet known that Strmonido had opened, and attacked the rear of the Nord army tribes with all their strength,

specially charging and killing the enemy's organized troops, trampling them to pieces with their horses' hooves". At 10:00, the infantry guarding the logistics baggage team were killed and defeated. The baggage carts of the brigade were overturned on the roadside, and gold coins and food were scattered all over the ground, with no one picking them up. Then, the commander of the third flag of the Fifth Corps, Marquis Badenger, died under the trampling of the exposed horses of the Vikia Guards Cavalry. His troops were killed and torn apart, hiding in the bushes on both sides.

The Vikia Guards Cavalry, who received the order, ignored the scattered deserters and marched as fast as a stream. Arrows. Tightly bite the retreating demon infantry, bite off one by one, one team after another.

If the enemy resists firmly, retreat immediately and look for the next breakthrough. Attack without lingering, do not linger, and attack like a hurricane, one hit and pass.

When the Nord army launched a large siege on the Pergra area, behind the Nord army, a large group of scattered soldiers were oppressed by the falcon cavalry and continued to retreat,

A large number of scattered soldiers exposed other troops. For many falcon cavalrymen who came from Kugit, this kind of work is really familiar. What they are best at and most adept at is to create confusion and exposure of the enemy. The Nord backup troops, who fought separately, were scattered one by one under the attack and division of 6,000 guards cavalry.

"Marquis Rohanst has died!"

"Two hundred thousand Vikia people are coming! Go quickly, or you will die if you are caught up! "

The panic was like a plague. The first to collapse were the Fifth Legion, which was responsible for logistical support, and then the Sixth Legion, which was unaware of the situation and was intercepted by the Falcon Light Cavalry. Tens of thousands of soldiers began to spread from the middle to the entire line. Tired and sleep-deprived, the soldiers lost their minds, shouting and running wildly. Everyone only knew, go south, go south!

That was the direction of the Nord army's base camp. Only by going south could they survive! At least two legions, more than 40,000 people, were exposed in the attack. Infantry and cavalry were mixed together, and the flow of people was rolling. On the mountain road that was more than ten kilometers long, the defeated Nord soldiers blocked the entire road. Bundles of equipment and baggage were thrown on the roadside, and weapons and flags were thrown all over the ground.

Seeing the troops collapse like water, many Nord officers realized that they had made a big mistake. They never thought that , a cavalry unit of the Vikians would cause such great damage to his main army.

They ordered to restore order and stabilize the front, but to no avail. Some Nord generals even jumped on their horses and blocked the road leading to the base camp. Facing the army coming from the front, they shouted and cursed angrily, threatening and begging, trying to gather the troops that had lost their command and were running around, but it was too late. Once the army collapsed, it would be difficult to recover.

Moreover, behind these defeated troops, the light cavalry of the Falcon Dynasty followed like an indelible shadow. Those who stayed at the end often never saw tomorrow's sun again. Their bodies almost filled the mountain road.

On November 4, the battle report brought news of the Battle of Stemonido and the near-annihilation of the Fourth Legion. The Nords who had lost order The army rushed to the base camp in panic, and not even a battalion could be assembled.

On the mountain road, the soldiers trampled on each other, pushed each other, and walked forward on the dead and the living. The main roads, small roads, bridges, plains, hills, valleys, and woods were all filled with tens of thousands of defeated soldiers. The backpacks, knives, guns, and armor thrown on the roadside were blocked by people who cut down their way, regardless of compatriots or superiors.

On November 6, at about seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright. The tide of defeat came.

It was not due to the efforts of the Nord commander, but after several nights of running, the Nord soldiers' physical strength and madness were exhausted. They sat on the ground exhausted and gasped. Tens of thousands of ragged Nord soldiers, like a group of ants that had lost their way, sat on the ground in clusters in the east and west, terrified. Fear and hesitation were written all over their faces.

In a field next to a village called Skanda, 30 miles away from the Nord army base camp,

Marquis Denis, the commander of the Nord Fifth Legion, who had been dragged by the rout and ran all night, dismounted with a pale face, holding the reins, and staggered towards the base camp.

The situation changed too quickly. The 3,000 elite infantrymen of his team were almost unprepared and attacked by two guards cavalry.

The team was defeated, and other rout troops lost contact. In order to avoid becoming a prisoner of the Vikians, he could only choose to flee with the team.

He didn't know how to explain the reason for the failure of this battle to the base camp. Was it the rout? Or did he scare himself? In the confusion, as if a sleepwalker was talking nonsense, he turned his empty eyes and looked at the somewhat white sky.

"Where is it? Where is my food and grass? Where is my legion? "

In the early morning, the sky was gloomy and dim in the suburbs of Boto Town. A flock of crows flew over the blackened ruins of the town after the fire and landed on the charred walls.

A cool breeze blew from the direction of the vast fields to dispel the hot summer. Next to the town that had been burned to ruins, a long black line slowly emerged, with fluttering falcon flags covering the sky and the dark wings stretching as far as the eye could see.
