Black Iron Crown

"Continue to observe them! Report their movements to me at any time!"

Morsh was very vigilant about this. He felt that there must be some conspiracy hidden in this, otherwise the other party would not have made such a big move.

At dusk, the former soldiers finally ran back, and he re-entered Morsh's tent to report to his master: "King Morsh, the enemy army and the people of the false king Samuza have advanced ten miles towards us. Kilometers, now it is only 30 kilometers away from us!"

"Advance... or advance together... Morsh's eyebrows were almost tangled together, nodded and said: "I see, you send someone to watch them day and night, and report immediately if there is any action!" "

The uneasiness in Morsh's heart had reached its limit, and he subconsciously felt that there must be some huge conspiracy hidden in this.

At this time, Leiner was lying in the tent with his eyes closed, and all the soldiers, except the sentry, fell asleep in a hurry after dinner.

We have to get up early tomorrow morning to march.

Today, he marched for more than half a day, and only walked ten kilometers. Compared with the daily marching speed of thirty to forty kilometers under his command, it was very slow, but Leiner was not dissatisfied with this speed.

Because in addition to the army under his command, the people of the Pakuten tribe also had to advance together, and at the same time, there were also large herds of cattle and sheep accompanying them, so it was impossible to advance quickly.

What Reiner wants is to consume the enemy's vital strength and compress their strategic depth while fighting in this way. It doesn't matter if they can't reach Morsh's tribal camp before all the enemy troops are assembled, as long as they get closer so that they don't dare Feel free to scatter and maneuver.

Soldiers under Leiner's command patrolled or guarded around the camp in groups. Leiner divided the night sentry into three phases. The three hours from seven o'clock to eleven o'clock constituted a phase, and the guard changed at eleven o'clock. , The second wave ends at two o'clock and the third wave changes at two o'clock and the end of five o'clock.

Five o'clock is the time for the trumpeters to get up, and the wake-up call is sounded at half past five, and the entire camp is regarded as a night.

Early the next morning, the whole army began to get up at 5:30 to prepare.

At six o'clock, the soldiers ate hot porridge, goat's milk, and rich meat. This time, Reiner not only brought enough grain and meat for the expedition, but Samuza also slaughtered hundreds of sheep for his labor. as food.

After a delicious meal, everyone packed their bags and set off on the journey again.

Walked about five kilometers,

Samuza ran to Reiner's side and explained the situation to him: "My lord, as we advance, more and more cavalry under Morsh's command are cruising around us."

"They seem to be spying on our movements. Just now a small cavalry attacked the tribe behind me. Although it didn't cause too much damage, it still caused a lot of panic."

Speaking of this, Samuza's lips moved, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Do you think we should slow down the speed of advancement..."

Reiner raised his eyebrows. He knew that Samuza was not very willing to take the entire tribe forward, because this would cause a lot of losses to his tribe, and the cattle and sheep would also be consumed quickly during such migration.

But Reiner couldn't agree to his request at this time. Now that the order had been issued, he couldn't go back on his word. That would be tantamount to admitting that his plan was wrong.

What's more, in Leiner's view, if you don't do this, you won't be able to limit the enemy's powerful mobility, and chase cavalry with a group of infantry, which only the most stupid people can do.

The key to victory is to compress the enemy's strategic depth in a step-by-step manner, forcing them to be unable to rely on horses to fight in a detour.

Reiner said: "I'm afraid not, my dear vassal..."

Translated as Reiner conveyed.

"We have no choice now. Since your cavalry is not the opponent of Morsh's cavalry, then I have to exclude the light cavalry under my command. Don't worry, they will protect your people. You should have seen their strength?"

Lena raised his eyebrows and looked at Samuza with a half-smile. He didn't believe that the other party didn't know how elite cavalry archers he was, and they had played a huge role in the previous battle between the two sides.

Hearing Reiner mentioning the cavalry archers, Samuza remembered how angry he was when he faced them.

At the same time, he felt very helpless. He knew that the earl was protesting against him. What could he mean by mentioning cavalry archers at this time?

He had no choice but to say helplessly: "Okay, my lord...the light cavalry under your command are indeed elite, so I naturally have no objection..."

After eliminating Samuza's doubts, Leiner ordered the cavalry archers to start patrolling around, using the cavalry bows in their hands to gradually consume and expel the approaching prairie cavalry.

"King Morsh!" A soldier reported to Morsh with an ugly face: "The false king Samuza and his master are still approaching us. They are now less than 25 kilometers away from us. Before you Although the sent cavalry successfully harassed us, the enemy army also sent a group of cavalry to fight back against us!"

"Is there any difference?" Morsh frowned slightly. He knew that the soldier would not report to him if there was nothing unusual.

"That's right, King Morsh. They wear the same strange flags as the yellow-haired army. They are obviously the army under the command of the master of the false king Samuza!"

"At the same time, their combat effectiveness is very strong, and they all wear iron armor, which is completely different from those cavalrymen in Samuza who only wear fur coats. The ability to shoot arrows on horseback!"

"This caused us a lot of losses... Many people died under the opponent's arrows, and their hand-to-hand combat ability is temporarily unknown, because our cavalry has never fought with each other."

Morsh frowned. He had contact with the people of the Agul tribe, and the Agul tribe was a character so powerful that he dared to unite several tribes to confront the original Kafeit Emperor head-on.

Although most of them played the role of being pressed to the ground and exploded with hammers, in the final analysis, they have gained enough experience from defeats in battles, and their combat skills have also improved to a certain extent.

At the same time, they also learned to a certain extent about the army structure and combat methods of the Ridkar Empire.

Morsh has been in contact with them for a long time, and gradually understands that there are still yellow-haired people in the world.

At the same time, he also knew that among the Ridka people, there were always a small number of cavalry units with extremely powerful combat effectiveness.

However, most of those people were wearing heavy armor, and Morsh learned this from the mouth of Agur's department.

However, these light cavalry who attacked his harassing troops head-on were obviously not any arms he knew, which not only made him suspicious.

"Temporarily withdraw our harassing cavalry, retreat 20 kilometers from the camp, and see what they will do next..." Morsh clenched his fists in thought.
