Chapter 208 [Important Chapter] Leon plans to open a big hole for the Walras people (close!)
For the Walras people, this sneak attack is really too sudden.
Or to put it more directly, since they went south, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Walras have never experienced even a sneak attack!
After all...
even if you just take a look at them from a distance, the big and powerful Walras people are enough to make ordinary nobles and private soldiers tremble with fear. They really can't bear the courage to take risks.
In addition, although the location of Baishi Creek is a traffic hub, the army of the Kingdom of Walras has already surrounded the gravel forts on the front line. Therefore, the garrison here really did not expect that an army would suddenly attack from the east. out.
At this moment, the city of Baishixi was already enveloped by the shouts of killing.
As Antoria's soldiers rushed into the city, they almost killed everyone at sight, striving to make Walras' soldiers close their eyes forever while they were still in shock.
Arrows fell from the sky, and fireballs fell into the city.
Although this sneak attack was not a familiar night attack, with Leon's presence, Antolia's soldiers seemed to have received a powerful buff that increased their morale by 20%.
You know, in today's era, morale is the most important bargaining chip that determines the outcome of a war.
On one side, the generals of the army were drinking and having fun, while on the other side, the marquis and nobles went into battle in person.
Although this sneak attack is not over yet, the result is actually very clear.
Facing the Antolian soldiers who suddenly appeared in front of him, even though the Walras people were also tall and powerful, how could these guys who didn't even hold a weapon in hand be Antolian? adversary?
What's more...
the military branch that the Walras people are most proud of is the cavalry.
The narrow streets in Baishixi City were completely unqualified for a cavalry charge.
Even if the number of garrison troops is much greater than the number of troops in the sneak attack, with almost no command, no matter how elite the soldiers are, they can only scatter like birds and beasts, unable to form a decent resistance at all.
Facing the scene in front of him, Basil Horton, a second-class Doron, was anxious in his heart, but in the end he was powerless.
After all...
compared to guarding the city of Baishixi, protecting the royal family's children headed by Berkel Gulen is the top priority!
The Kingdom of Walras has its own national conditions here.
The status of the Gülen royal family in the Kingdom of Walras is unparalleled, and in a sense, all other nobles can be regarded as slaves of the Gülen royal family.
"My lord, let's go!"
Basil Horton saw that this royal child was shaky when he walked. He was really too busy to organize an effective resistance in person.
Moreover, as a special force of the Antolian people, how could the tall-legged bird only play a role in breaking down the city gate?
The tall, strange birds rushed back and forth on the streets controlled by the Walrasians, knocking off the defense lines they had finally formed.
In fact, if there are enough anti-cavalry weapons, it will not be a problem to contain the repeated attacks of the tall-footed strange birds.
But the question is...
where do the Walrasians have any experience in fighting cavalry?
They themselves are the best riders on the northern continent, so naturally they have never faced the situation before them.
So much so that in the city of Baishixi, the tall-footed strange bird seemed to be in a deserted land, with almost no one able to control it.
"Kill!"
Seeing the soldiers of the Kingdom of Walras fall into chaos, the soldiers of Antolia naturally would not let go of this precious opportunity.
Xiao Hong Ping even did it with his head raised.
The already surging morale, with the double blessing of the little red bottle and Leon himself, has reached an extremely terrifying level.
Seeing the one-sided situation in the city, even Basil Horton, who was well versed in battle formations, couldn't help but take a breath of the Norton nobles.
The soldiers of Antolia fight in a very clear way.
The Elf Longbowmen, who controlled the key positions in the city and served as the back-line combat units, diffused indiscriminately towards all locations where the flag of the Kingdom of Walras was flying before moving in.
Wherever Leon's fireball landed, Antolia's soldiers rushed to it.
Long-range strikes are combined with melee attacks, and physical attacks are mixed with magic attacks.
No one can take into account both physical defense and magic resistance during the process of stacking armor!
Even though the Walras people are very similar in size to the Antolians, it is difficult to form even a hint of fighting spirit at this moment.
"Hold the food and baggage!"
However, Basil Horton's roar could hardly have the slightest effect on the rebels in the city.
The entire Baishi River has fallen into chaos.
The sunset is like blood.
When the afterglow of the setting sun reflected a golden color on the horizon, the shouts of killing in Baishixi City had gradually subsided.
Leon stood on the city wall, looking at the columns of smoke rising in the city, and clenched his fists tightly.
The strength of the Walras people indeed far exceeds the average level of this era.
Even though this battle was a sneak attack, Antolia's army also suffered considerable losses.
Or to put it more directly...
the battle damage rate is comparable to that of the frontal attack on Port Idar.
And this also made Leon more intuitively aware of the power of Walras' army.
Putting aside the slave soldiers, the individual combat capabilities of the regular soldiers of the Kingdom of Walras are enough to kill a large number of noble private soldiers. Even in a one-on-one duel with the soldiers of Antolia, the winning rate is 50-50!
I have to say, this level is already quite terrifying!
"Where are the seizures?"
When Leon finally turned the topic of discussion to the harvest of this battle, the atmosphere around Leon became obviously relaxed.
"Very much!"
Even Juan, who always showed his composure, couldn't help but smile when he answered Leon's question.
"The horses and mules captured in this battle alone can give every soldier in Antolia a mount!"
Fighting behind enemy lines.
No matter whether the combat ability is strong or weak, the most important thing is to turn into Rufeng.
Prior to this, Leon was quite hesitant when making the decision to attack White Rock Creek. The main reason was that he was worried about encountering the Walras people on the road.
Hot air balloons are definitely not available.
At first glance, that thing is not something that a weak-minded Walrasian can come up with.
One flight will reveal the traces.
As a result, when marching towards the White Rock Creek area, Antolia's mercenaries had to be dispersed around and on alert at all times, for fear of exposing the position of the Antolia army.
Fortunately, the smooth sailing of the Norton War seemed to have made Walras's army relax its vigilance, and Leon was able to advance westward from Shuanghu Town and then occupy the city with lightning speed.
"Everyone has a horse?"
Leon couldn't help but confirm again.
"It's not all horses, some are mules, but at least it's walking on four legs instead of two!" Juan couldn't hide his excitement in his voice.
The two legs turned into four legs, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the marching speed of the Antolian army and make it easier to move.
Speed is life!
"What does the Marquis plan to do with the Walrasian food?"
"Take what is convenient to take away, and burn what cannot be taken away!"
It is absolutely impossible to stand still.
Although Leon captured the city in front of him with a sneak attack, when the news came out, holding on to the city with less than 2,000 combatable troops was tantamount to death.
You must know that Leon was able to achieve the immediate results, firstly because the Antolian army moved quickly, and secondly because Walras' rear army underestimated the enemy.
But the above two points can actually be attributed to information gaps.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Leon to stay here. No matter how much he feels it is a pity, the grain and baggage in Baishixi can only be burned with a fire.
"Yes!"
Although it feels too wasteful, there are many things that you can't help yourself.
If it does not burn, then this sneak attack will be meaningless, and the plan to reduce the pressure on Gravel Castle will be equivalent to bankruptcy.
"Let the soldiers have a good rest tonight, I'm afraid we have to prepare to go north..."
Looking at the fortified city at his feet, Leon said firmly.
"Going north?"
Juan couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yes, let's go north!"
Hearing this, Elm on the side took over: "The results of the battle at White Rock Creek are certainly gratifying, but the news that the food road was cut off must not be hidden from the Walras army on the front line. What is left for us The time difference is only about three days!"
"When the news of the fall of this city reaches the ears of General Walras, even if the general of Walras's army is a fool, he will definitely be aware of the existence of the Antolians."
" There is definitely no way back to Shuanghu Town in the east, and returning to the south bank of the Meyerson River via the original route is naturally not feasible." "
So now there are actually only two choices left for us, and the most conservative one is to continue to advance westward. , after crossing the Chiron River from east to west, entered the territory of the Kingdom of Idrit, as for the other..."
Elm paused and looked at the young lord standing in front of him.
"That is to take advantage of the opportunity before the Walras people can react, attack Bolton, the capital of the Norton Kingdom, and then go east through the blockade of the Walras army, and return to the Kingdom of Andal from the western border of the kingdom!" This is
! Leon finally made this decision after a very serious discussion with Elm.
As early as when the envoy from the Kingdom of Iderit arrived at Port Idar, why did Leon set the date for dispatching troops a week later?
Just to wait for more detailed and true information from the west of the Andal Kingdom!
According to intelligence, most of the cavalry that the Kingdom of Walras is proud of are gathered in the southern part of the Principality of Norton.
On the one hand, they are burning, killing and looting in the territory of the Principality of Norton. On the other hand, they hope to destroy the effective forces of the Kingdom of Idrit in one battle, thereby ending the war in the south in the shortest possible time.
It is precisely for this reason that on the western border of the Andal Kingdom, even though the noble private armies of the Andal Kingdom have suffered repeated defeats, the Walras Kingdom still has not launched an attack on the Andal Kingdom.
It's not that the Walrasians don't want to, but that there are not enough cavalry on the eastern front!
And now, with the war horses and mules kindly sponsored by the Kingdom of Walras, the second plan has become possible!
Two legs have become four legs.
If this cannot cross the Principality of Norton from south to north and open the eyes of all the nobles participating in the war, Leon will feel that he is sorry for the capture of this battle!
What's more...
In addition to mules and horses, Leon also has confidence from other aspects!
Compared to this plan to sneak attack on White Rock Creek, Leon actually felt that the success rate of directly attacking Bolton was greater.
The first is because the Antolians and Walrasians are similar in size.
Many Andal nobles have always regarded the Antolians as the Walrasian barbarians in the southern part of the kingdom. This is precisely because of their similar body shapes.
Secondly, after the battle of Baishi Creek.
It can be said that the Antolian army has completely changed their uniforms. Thousands of cavalry have come from the south of the Principality of Norton. You say you are not a Walrasian?
Finally, and most importantly.
During this sneak attack, Antolia's soldiers captured a big fish alive!
That is the first-class Doron who has not sobered up yet—Berkel Grant!
This is a member of the royal family!
And he is also a child of the royal family who is deficient in calcium!
This trip north can't even be called a sneak attack, it's simply a call to arms!
It was after the above thoughts that Leon decided to take a big gamble!
He's on top!
If Bolton's guard is a sober guy, the worst he can do is bypass Bolton and run east towards the Kingdom of Andal.
"The Marquis's idea... is really unimaginable!"
After listening to Leon's logical analysis, Juan couldn't help but be shocked and fell to the ground.
After all...
this idea is too sensational.
"In this case, let the whole army change their clothes, and all the soft armor will be replaced by Walrasian costumes!" "
In addition, in addition to Berkel Gulen and the other captured generals, select a few more bones to suffice. The soft guy acts as the interpreter for the army!"
Since Leon's purpose is to trick the city gate into opening, it is naturally extremely important to be able to speak a fluent and authentic prairie accent. This is called thoughtfulness!
...
There's one thing to say, it's really fucking like!
When an Antolian soldier wearing Walrasian clothes stood in front of Leon, he only felt that he was a genuine Walrasian army general!
The Antolians are already physically strong.
After putting on the clothes with a slight smell of mutton, he looked like a real Walrasian cavalry.
Looking from a distance, the military flag of the Walras Kingdom is fluttering in the wind.
An elite Walrasian cavalry was reborn amidst the billowing smoke of White Rock Creek City!
As for the slender and slender elf long archer, he directly changed into the costume of a slave soldier.
Because slave soldiers are relatively thin.
Um!
This makes perfect sense!
Seeing this, Leon couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
I saw him raising the long sword in his hand and pointing to the far north.
"Ruga!"
This was a new word he had just learned from the Walrasian prisoners.
It roughly means moving forward, or charging.
Perhaps it was the soul of the time traveler that made Leon's brain far more powerful than others, making it extremely easy to imitate language.
The word "Luga" came out of Leon's mouth. Not only did it sound correct, but it even had a strong prairie accent, which could be mistaken for the real thing.
The main thing is authentic!
The map will be updated no later than the day after tomorrow
