Chapter 9 Galloping

Magnus's strategy of the Sigma Empire really deceived Vared for a while, so that when dealing with the main force of the empire, there was a certain mistake in the deployment of the undead troops - Vared sent a group of about 1.5 million undead troops to the northwest of the main battlefield to attack Tarabek and Hock's Principality in order to defeat the army of the two non-existent Duches.

At the same time, Vared divided the remaining army into two parts, and entered Ostermach with a vanguard force composed of ten new regiments in an expectation of the enemy situation.

Then, Magnus, who thought he had seized the fighter plane, led more than 800,000 emperors and appeared in front of the vanguard. The army was in a semi-encircled situation, and surrounded the Sylvanian vanguard troops from the north, northeast and northwest directions.

At the same time, this group of elite light cavalry and horse infantry traveled day and night, surrounding the undead vanguard. There were also troops of about 200,000 to 300,000 immediately followed. Magnus' order was to build a line of defense south of Ostermach to resist the possible arrival of the main Sylvanian troops.

Magnus' wishful thinking was crackling. He hoped to surround him with nearly ten times the force of the undead vanguard and then swallow him up. Which unit attacked from the front, which unit attacked from the side, and which unit blocked reinforcements were all plotted properly. Just wait for the undead troops to follow his baton so that he could take the first place. He weakened the undead troops and boost morale, so as to prepare for the final decisive battle.

The efficiency and ability of Sigma Emperor who works with all his strength are quite amazing, and he can't help but make people sigh: "It is worthy of being the largest empire in the old world." And the emperor Magnus, who also tried his best, reached a tacit understanding with the enemy of life and death, spread false news, and the entire army went south to formulate a battle plan and implement it... This series of dazzling actions also makes people sigh that he is worthy of being the first in the old world.

Of course, in the case of internal and external troubles in the empire, such outstanding performance also adds something else to the emotion. I learned all this a little later, and Valed was somewhat considered a Vared by the other party, and he had a very appropriate evaluation of this: "Is this the so-called last afterglow of the end of the empire? But that's fine. If you can't perform well in the end, it would be too miserable."

From the easy and arrogant language of this madman, he could tell what his attitude towards this so-called "war" was - play, game, or "the natural result after everything was prepared..."

In short, no matter what, Vared did not believe that he would fail. In fact, this was true. Although Magnus had put all his strength into practice, had made the best efforts, and had already put the strength of his army to the limit at the best of his ability. However, the final result was still not optimistic.

Because he miscalculated something, he miscalculated it now. After the military reform of Valed, the combat capability of the undead army equipped with a large number of new weapons.

At first, after discovering that he was surrounded, the direct general of Vared, Lester, who was commanding the undead vanguard, was indeed surprised. After a fierce attack, the bold vampire general discovered that his situation was not good - he did not encounter any big obstacles along the way.

The southern region of Ostermacher seemed like a no-man's land. There were not many living people in villages, towns and cities, let alone defenders. From the north of the Steerland region, after a dozen days of travel, he didn't even fight a tough battle. This situation surprised him very much and was uneasy.

As his army continued to move forward, this anxiety became stronger and stronger. After discussing with the officers under his command, Rest made a decision to delay the advance and sent skeleton cavalry to wander around and investigate.

This investigation revealed something was wrong...

After Vared carried out military reforms, the materials and equipment of the skeleton cavalry were greatly improved. Combined with the production methods of some black knights and the production methods of the heavy skeleton cavalry of the Aberhracin family, the attributes of the new skeleton cavalry were greatly improved. Although they have not yet been able to catch up with the combat ability of the Black Knight, they will not be much inferior.

In terms of equipment, traditional sabers and shields, and even the recently replaced cavalry crossbows were all eliminated. Instead, they were replaced by a completely different cavalry. These cavalry were equipped with new short-barrel carbines, large-caliber revolvers, and cavalry used micro-curved swords. Armors and decorations were half-body armor, high-tube bearskin hats with feathers, or boat-shaped hats, dark blue, pendants were decorated with a large number of tassels, gold-lined military uniforms, white breeches and black horse boots.

These cavalry have extremely strong firepower. They use carbines to give any enemy heavy infantry at a distance, or even heavy armored infantry that Chaos believers are proud of, at a distance. In melee hand-to-hand combat, the use of micro-curved swords with a certain amount of black iron and material strengthened, as well as the skeleton cavalry with large-caliber revolver guns, are also quite outstanding in combat. It can be said that except for the frontal and head-on battles that are not suitable for such cavalry, they can handle the rest of the situation.

These newly improved cavalry have very strong combat power and look extremely gorgeous on the outside. Vared even spared no expense to decorate their war horses with high-end ink blue fabric. In this way, the "skeletons" exposed by these skeletons were left with the hideous skulls with black eye sockets. From the back, it was impossible to see that they were not living people. Compared with the skeleton cavalry whose cavalry had a bone frame, they were completely different from beggars and nobles.

Many vampire tribes have complained about the evil tastes and extravagance and waste like the Grand Duke. However, Vared said that this is also a reflection of national strength. The exquisitely decorated army also appropriately reduces the morale of the enemy. Of course, there is another more important reason, which is that it can satisfy the vanity of a ruler who is very fond of merit.

However, soon, after entering the actual combat stage, the vampires in Silvania also discovered a benefit of this outfit. When they first saw these skeleton cavalry, the opponent's soldiers did not react at all. These gorgeously dressed cavalry would be their mortal enemies. A group of robin cavalry sent by the Sigma Empire and equipped with short-barrel handguns were thought that these skeleton cavalry were the personal guards of a great nobleman, and they suffered a great loss.

This group of cyclones used one of the extremely strange tactics adopted in this era. Western European cavalry equipped with short-barrel muskets carried out archers tactics similar to the Eastern style with their simple gunpowder weapons. After approaching the enemy, they launched a round of shooting, then turned the horse's head to stretch the distance, and then repeated the above actions... For some reason, this very inefficient tactic has become rapidly popular in the Sigma Empire in recent decades.

Perhaps this can also be regarded as the Sigma Empire's emphasis and affirmation of gunpowder weapons... It's a pity that this affirmation was used in the wrong direction. Or in other words, the level of gunpowder weapons in the Sigma Empire has been surpassed too much by Sylvania, which has come from behind.

When the skeleton cavalry of this company discovered the enemy opposite, about a skeleton cavalry, the vampire officer who saw all this immediately issued an order to launch an attack through the eyes of the vultures released by the skeleton cavalry. The skeleton cavalry then accelerated the horse speed and rushed towards the skeleton cavalry. These equipment were equipped with cavalry swords, short-barrel handguns, and imperial uniforms. Both people and war horses were not equipped with armor of any material. It can be said to be the best target.

At about one hundred and twenty meters away, some sharp-eyed cavalry had already seen something wrong. They screamed loudly: "It's the enemy! The faces of those cavalry are all bones!" This caused a surprise to the cyclone.

At the same time, the skeleton cavalry had already raised the carbine in their hands and began to shoot - a company that scattered into about two to three rows of scattered soldiers. A total of 120 skeleton cavalry pulled the trigger at the same time, and the cylindrical Miner bullets were spinning out of the gun chamber. Then, a blood mist burst out from the front row of cyclone cavalry, and the cavalry and war horses fell down, screaming endlessly.

"Quick! rush over! Perform circumcision tactics!" The cavalry officer of the circumcision cavalry was determined to be the enemy when he saw his soldiers being attacked. He immediately shouted like this - the effective distance between the short-barrel pistols they equipped is about ten to fifteen meters. They must be close to the shooting. However, the skeleton cavalry was very obvious and did not want them to succeed. After another round of shooting and killing a group of circumcision cavalry, the skeleton cavalry turned their horses and ran back.

In this plain area of ​​Ostermach, both sides chased and fled, always maintaining a certain distance. Although they carried a lot of equipment, the weight of the skeleton cavalry was still below ordinary humans, and the undead war horses had no such endurance. Therefore, no matter how desperately the robin cavalry chased, they could not catch up with the skeleton cavalry. Both sides maintained a certain distance, and the skeleton cavalry continued to load ammunition, and then turned to shoot.
