Different World Development Manual - Chapter 130

[untitled]

It is not that Thomas has never seen magical creatures that can self-destruct and injure people. In addition, there are only 3 deaths and 4 injuries, and Thomas did not take it to heart.

While laughing at the Demon King’s army, they didn’t set up an ambush on the Fallen Hill or set up an offensive.

On the other hand, he commanded a large army of 50,000 people and marched towards the Duchy of Dehebas.

This 6-meter wide avenue seemed to welcome them to the Duchy of Dehebas, stepping on this rammed dirt road, under the continuous drizzle that had fallen last night, the rain mixed in the dirt. The clear breath was also stepped out by military boots and horseshoes.

The grass on the edge of the road is lush and full of life.

The trees on both sides were like a crowd, blown by the mighty wind, welcoming them to Dehebas.

If it is in China, at the junction of this “provincial road”, there will definitely be a big welcome sign with a string of characters written on it:

“Welcome to the Duchy of Dehebas, I wish you a happy journey!”

But Thomas saw What I arrived was not the signboards at the junction of the large provincial borders in China, but two road signs with words written on small wooden boards, tied to small wooden sticks, and cut into arrows, pointing to the Duchy of Dehebas. direction.

The old road sign above had two strings of words written in Imperial and Grameen, but perhaps it was a bit old, and the incomplete phrases didn’t look particularly clear.

However, combining the grammatical and imperial languages, the words “Duchy of Dehebas” can still be barely recognized.

Under this old guide sign, there is a relatively new guide sign, which also reads “Anriburg” in imperial and granite.

In order to commemorate the “birth” of An Rui, an Aghanim warrior, in the Panda Empire, the last emperor of the empire specially renamed the largest city in An Rui’s fief to “An Rui Fort”.

Although the 6-meter-wide road is quite wide for ordinary people of the empire and those traveling merchants and caravans, it is simply impossible to spread out for the 50,000 vanguard army.

The 50,000 army was divided into several columns, and each column of troops was boundless as far as the eye could see.

The adjutant followed Thomas and said flatteringly: “Lord Count, we have entered the Duchy of Dehebas, and it seems to be going well.”

Thomas nodded, rode on his horse, and checked the Duchy of Dehebas. Map and said: “After passing the Luoyue Hill, walk 7 or 8 kilometers to reach the Luoyue Village. Let everyone speed up and run forward!

Take back the Luoyue Village and cheer up the expeditionary army!”

“Yes!”

Luoyue Legend has it that a meteorite once fell from the sky and hit a hill not far from the village, hence the name of the village.

As for the hill, it was passed on by word of mouth, and the final name was determined as the Fallen Hill.

After the order to speed up the advance was issued, the vanguard of 50,000 people immediately began to come quickly.

A 3,000-strong light cavalry in the vanguard army was also ordered to attack Luoyu Village at the fastest speed, defeating the Demon King’s army there and taking the entire village down.

“Hey sigh…” “Ta ta ta ta…” There

was

a neighing sound of a war horse, a hoof flying, and the earth suddenly sounded the sound of thunderclouds rolling.

The soil was trampled under the horse’s hooves and flew, and the light cavalry were rushing along the avenue towards Luoyu Village.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

However, before he rushed far, bursts of explosions occurred on the ground.

Bunch of flames blew up directly from the ground, and the huge explosions immediately blew the light cavalry who rushed into the minefield to their knees.

“This is facing the enemy”.

Fragments of landmines and stones in the ground were blown up and splattered in all directions.

Fragments and rubble easily pierced through the armor of these light cavalry soldiers in the explosion, and easily exploded into their bodies.

The fragile internal organs were suddenly smashed by fragments and gravel, and they fell from the war horse and fell to the ground, clutching the wound and vomiting blood, screaming in pain.

Seeing the cavalry in front of them suddenly suffering, the light cavalry in the back wanted to pull the reins to stop the war horse, but the speed was too fast, and the blink of an eye could not stop at all.

There was a stalled warhorse in front, but it was quickly hit by the warhorse that was used behind, making a mess, and finally fell into the minefield together.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The light cavalrymen who were stunned by the sudden mines suddenly turned into headless flies. They didn’t know where the Demon King’s army was attacking them, only that there was a flash of fire in front of them. With an explosion, the scythe of the god of death will swing at their heads.

The light cavalry in the minefield suddenly became chaotic, running around, rampaging, and explosions.

The explosion of the minefield in front shocked the fast-moving troops behind, and without the commander’s order, the imperial soldiers instinctively slowed down.

The deafening explosion sound, such an unseen scene, really called out the instinctive fear in their hearts.

Thomas, who originally thought that the Demon King’s army would not do anything in this area, immediately raised his hand and shouted: “All stop!” The

signal device was raised high, and the army of more than 40,000 people suddenly stopped in place.

The explosion in the minefield lasted for 2 or 3 minutes before subsiding, and more than half of the light cavalry troops dispatched to prepare to raid the Fallen Village were killed or injured.

The ground was full of corpses of cavalry and war horses that had been blown to pieces, as well as the light cavalry who were lying on the ground with their broken bodies screaming and crying for help.

Those light cavalrymen who were fortunate enough to survive also wanted to bring their comrades back, but after they stepped into the minefield again, they could never come back with a bang.

The rest of the hussars could only helplessly look at the desperate eyes of the hussars lying on the ground covered in blood, listening to their roars, there was nothing to do.

Thomas was also terrified. The 3,000 light cavalrymen killed and injured more than 2,000 people in a short time. The rest of the people stood outside the explosion area and stared blankly at the light cavalry in the explosion area.

Thomas trembled, and immediately shouted, “Order all the light cavalry to withdraw!!” The

3,000 light cavalry who raided had not even crossed the Falling Hill, and there were only 700 people left. other way.

Therefore, Thomas ordered 1,000 light cavalry again, and incorporated the light cavalry of more than 700 people.

“Disperse, find a way to go around!!”

More than 1,700 light cavalrymen immediately spread out towards the two wings, preparing to bypass the Fallen Hill.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

However, the bursts of explosions declared Thomas’ plan to fail. Li Long, the regiment leader, specially asked the mine-laying truck to lay about 17 kilometers of mines at the eastern pass of Anri Fort on the 16th highland. bring.

Of course, Li Long also released news to the nearby villages and towns that the area around the Fallen Hill in the east was prohibited from entering and leaving because of the war.

Although the notice of “closing the border” has been posted, there are still some disapproving traveling merchants who ignore the notice and leave from the Fallen Hill because they are in a hurry.

Waiting for these traveling merchants to be landmines, after killing more than a dozen traveling merchants and two daring caravans, the merchants on the eastern border settled down immediately.

The 17-kilometer mine belt made the Imperial commander, who had spread 4 and 5 kilometers of light cavalry to each flank, immediately gave up the idea of finding a detour.

Of the more than 1,700 light cavalry sent out, only 800 people came back. I don’t know who died in the battle, but the number of light cavalry that was frightened by the explosion was no less than 50.

Thomas looked at the Fallen Hill not far from the avenue, and looked at the dead imperial light cavalry. He was very unwilling, and frowned, thinking about countermeasures.

At this time, a great knight in gorgeous armor rode his horse to the front of Thomas and gave an imperial military salute. Come on.

Our magic resistance is high, coupled with vindictiveness, it shouldn’t hurt us.”

This is an elite heavy cavalry unit composed of more than 500 great knights. Since Thomas is a subordinate of Duke Capet, he also specially The elite of the Duke of Capet in the coalition was lent to the vanguard.

Although they are not as good as the perverts of the Imperial Magic Knights, but in terms of strength, even if they are placed next to the Magic Knights, they will not be too inferior.

From the point of view of the great knight, these light cavalrymen are just ordinary people, and at most they are at the level of “knights”, and they can’t compare with “big knights” like them at all.

The knight profession has the same class division as the mage profession.

Apprentice knights who are promoted from knights, then become knights, then become master knights, and finally become title knights with unique titles.

The vast majority of those light cavalry are also at the level of riders.

The big knight who surpassed the 3 levels of light cavalry is naturally full of self-confidence, and has no fear of those explosions.

Thomas looked at the serious and confident appearance of the great knight, so he nodded, pointed to the Fallen Hill in front and the avenue leading to the Fallen Village below, and said, “It should be the inscription method that the Demon King’s Army has arranged here. Array, find a way to rush over and break it, please.”

The great knight clenched his sword hilt tightly, and said solemnly, “I am willing to serve you!”
