Chapter 6 Raid

"Speed ​​up? Why should we speed up? Let's go slowly. We are the closest distance. If we want to form a siege, it is best to arrive at the same time. And if the march is too fast, it is a test for the soldiers' physical strength! Notify the troops and slow down. We just need to reach before noon the day after tomorrow." Stilwen said quite complacently. Unfortunately, he didn't know that it was because of his order that the Lightning Army had more than ten hours of buffering time.

"Okay! I'll send a messenger to notify the three division commanders!" The deputy immediately summoned the messenger and conveyed Stilvin's order.

At this moment, a scout rushed back to report: "Report to the deputy commander of the corps, we have just conducted reconnaissance on the camp of the Lightning Corps and found that they are still in the camp, but have begun to build fortifications outside the camp. I saw with my own eyes that their commander Del is urging the soldiers to dig trenches."

"Haha! I've just dug a trench now, it's probably useless. As long as we surround them and starve them to death, these guys are too stupid. They don't even run away in this situation!" Stilvin laughed.

After the troops advanced for more than twenty miles, Stilvin looked at the sun that was about to set in the sky, frowned and said, "It's already evening, find a place with water to camp! Keep going tomorrow!"

After the adjutant sent the order, the entire army began to camp on the banks of the Shudon River, setting up tents and nail stakes. Some soldiers ran to the woods next to them to cut down trees, ready to set up fires at night.

Just five miles away from the right side of the Rock Legion, a large number of Is Lightning Legion soldiers gathered densely. They seemed to be waiting for something anxiously.

Soon after, a scout hurried into the woods and said to Dias: "Deputy Commander, Stilvin's troops are now camping by the river, and the scene is still very chaotic."

"Haha, this is the opportunity we are waiting for." Dias laughed. "Brothers, get on the horse! Take your weapons! Let us give the bastards of the Rock Legion a little color! Let them know that the Lightning Legion is the strongest!"

Soon, tens of thousands of heavy cavalrymen rushed out of the tree, all wearing heavy armor and carrying long cavalry rifles. Under the leadership of Diaz, they rushed towards the right-road army of the Rock Legion, which was busy five miles away.

By the river, Stilvin and several senior generals were discussing tomorrow's march route in the newly-set tent, when they suddenly heard heavy sounds of horse hooves coming from a distance. The tent suddenly became loud and loud, and many soldiers shouted.

"What happened?"

When Stilwen was about to ask what was going on, a scout with blood on his face rushed in and shouted: "Deputy Commander, no! The people from the Lightning Army are coming, all of them are heavy cavalry. It is estimated that the number of people exceeds ten thousand, and they are almost rushing to our camp!"

Stilvin looked carefully and found that it was the captain of the scout whom he appointed.

He rushed over and slapped the scout captain twice, shouting sternly: "Did you grow up with a good meal? I just found out now?"

The scout captain spat out a mouthful of blood, and there were two teeth inside.

"How far are they from our camp?" Stilvin asked hurriedly. He thought that if it was not too close, he could at least organize the heavy infantry to stand up for a while.

"When I came to report, I saw them... they were only three miles away from our camp... I don't know why, all the scouts I sent out... didn't come back!" The scout's face was so painful that his face was deformed, and he stuttered.

"Damn it! Get out of here! Hurry up, notify everyone to prepare to face the enemy!" Stilvin shouted quickly. He knew very well that the three-mile journey was only five minutes for the heavy cavalry who were sprinting. The best way to deal with the cavalry was to first shoot a part with a longbowman, and then form a gun and shield formation to the front to block the gun and shield formation. But now that it is just now that the soldiers who are building the camp immediately line up to meet the enemy within five minutes, it is not easy.

"Strange! The spy clearly reported that the main force of the Lightning Army was still staying in their camp and did not move. The more than 10,000 cavalry were probably all their cavalry. Where did these cavalry emerge from?" Stilvin said, and quickly left the tent and stepped on the war horses led by his personal soldiers.

Under Stilvin's order, the soldiers who were building the camp began to run out of the camp and stood at the gate of the camp where two pillars had just stood. However, time was too hasty, and the soldiers could not find the officer, and the officer did not find the soldiers they belong to, so they could only barely get together.

While the soldiers of the Right Route Army were still standing in a mess, the cavalry of the Lightning Army had already arrived. Stilwen looked over and saw a black line in the sky quickly thickening, and the gradually dull horse hooves were getting louder and louder as the cavalry of the Lightning Army approached.

"Quick! The longbower is ready! Shoot the arrow!"

"Pullman is ready! Throw the spear!"

"The heavy infantry lined up and took a step forward and raised the spear!"

"The shield soldier takes two steps forward, put the shield in front, and protect the spearmen!"

The commanders of each division began to issue a series of orders.

"Haha, I'm just starting to think about marching in line. Isn't it too late?" Roger looked at the soldiers on the right side of the army standing at the gate of the camp and began to line up in a mess, and couldn't help but show a sneer on his face.

If the right army was well prepared and lined up in sequence, even if the cavalry of the Lightning Army could break through their defensive formation, it would have to pay a heavy price. However, the right army only had five minutes to prepare. Many soldiers were still running out of the camp gate in a mess and crawling into the queue. Some had just taken off their armor and were still wearing it. Some were panicked for a moment and even got the weapons wrong. Even the soldiers who had already stood in line outside the camp gate stood apart, some of which were sparse and some had not formed a complete formation at all.

The cavalry of the Lightning Army holding a rifle only trembled slightly after passing through the shooting range of the longbowmen of the right-road army. Some unlucky guys were shot in bad luck. They screamed and fell off their horses. Before they even called for help, they were trampled into meat paste by the iron hooves of their companions following behind.

After entering the range of fifty meters, waves of spears caused huge damage to the cavalry. The sharp spears with huge inertia can make the cavalry at high speed cool. The cavalry of the Lightning Army fell one after another, but the distance was too short, and the spearmen did not stand in a dense square formation, but scattered into a line. Therefore, after causing some minor casualties to the cavalry, the cavalry of the Lightning Army quickly rushed to the formation of the gun and shield soldiers of the right-wing army.
