Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

As expected, the Royal Knights of Orlando arrived in Pamela the next afternoon. Seeing Orlando and others who were still full of energy, Ryan couldn’t help but admire him. The Royal Knights deserved to be. The most powerful army of mankind, even if they travel thousands of kilometers day and night, they can still launch the next attack immediately, and it is enough to defeat the opponent.At this point, none of the three elite troops built by Ryan could do it, and this is the biggest gap between the Imperial Capital and Cassano.

Soon, the entire Royal Knights Order was also settled down. Now the small town of Pamela plus the nearby military camp has a population of 120,000 people and more than 20,000 war horses. This is almost the emperor can take out. All the strength to start a local battle.

"Lane, this is the topographic map of the western prairie." During the combat meeting, Orlando pointed to a giant map spread over a table and said to Ryan: "Pamela where we are is here, and from here to To the west, there is an endless prairie for the entire three thousand kilometers."

Ryan’s gaze moved slowly along Orlando’s hands, and Orlando’s words continued to be heard in his ears: “In this environment, it’s impossible for us to conceal our whereabouts. The army of tens of thousands is even more so every day. Drinking water is a huge quantity, not to mention the food consumed by people and horses."

"It is impossible for us to give up our luggage, because once the Clays implement the tactics of stiffening the walls and clearing the fields, we will soon collapse." Orlando took out a small flag and placed it gently on the river or lake shown on the map. Then smiled and said: "So, we just need to move forward step by step. Follow these rivers or lakes all the way to the west, while scouts are dispatched from all sides, as far as possible to destroy the Clay tribes and camps, forcing them to gather together We fight decisively."

"The amount of water stored in these rivers and lakes is extremely huge. It is impossible for the Clay people to interfere with us by poisoning them. At the same time, these water sources are also used by their herders to survive, and they have gathered as much as possible along the way. As for the small tribe, how to find them is up to your archer corps."

Ryan nodded. Orlando’s strategic arrangements are very secure. Although the army is dispatched and the rear is a little empty, many things can’t be done right away, but you should be careful not to fall into the trap of your opponent because of your impatience. Therefore, Ryan will temporarily let Ellendor act as his lord, and will arrange everything before setting off.

"Jonas, after Ryan's archer corps finds the position of the enemy, if there are not many people, they will solve it by themselves, but if the strength is too strong, it will be attacked by you." Orlando saw Ryan had no objection, so Said to Jonas: "The herdsmen of the Clay people live by the water and grass. It is impossible to organize soldiers enough to fight our tens of thousands of troops in a hurry, so we will be very smooth at the beginning."

Jonas nodded and said: "That's for sure, General Orlando, but with you and Ryan, no matter how strong the opponent is, we can defeat them!"

"No, the Royal Knights will not participate in the war!" Orlando said with a smile: "During the march, the scouts should let go as much as possible, and we must hide the Royal Knights as much as possible. This is why we mobilize so much. The reason for the horses. In addition to increasing our mobility, they can also confuse our enemies so that they will not notice that the Royal Knights are still hidden in it."

"Ah, this is?" Jonas asked suspiciously.

Without waiting for Orlando to explain, Ryan spoke first: "If you are the leader of the Clay clan, Jonas. When you know that a legion that you can’t win head-on confrontation comes to your prairie, you will still Did you bring it to the door stupidly?"

"Ah, I understand!" Jonas gave a hard shot and said excitedly: "This way the enemy always thinks that we are just infantry on horseback, plus some excellent scouts. When the two main forces fight, the Royal Knights will You can suddenly launch an assault, and at that time the Clay Clan has been unable to retreat!"

"That's it." Orlando said with a smile: "We are forcing them to engage in a war of attrition with us. Only in this way can we achieve the purpose of our expedition. Otherwise, the entire Clay clan will continue to migrate to the west. Chase them to the side of the Hengduan Mountains?"

When the military meeting was over, Ryan found out that he was accompanying Orlando and his old friends.This time, in order to conceal the Royal Knights as much as possible, Orlando even mobilized 4 Magisters from the Magic Guild of the Imperial Capital. Among them, Androcos and Melinda were among them. Meeting friends is naturally a lively event. The scene, especially when Ryan was swaggering in the imperial capital as Fabia, was naturally made fun of by Androcos.

After the joke, Ryan and Androkos talked about the use of magic to hide their whereabouts. Androkos told Ryan that this time the entire coalition had 50,000 fighters and 20,000 logistics personnel, only with a few of them. It is impossible for a magister to use magic to cover the battlefield. He can only detect the enemy's movements through magic such as "magic eyes", so that the commander can dispatch scouts to the enemy as soon as possible.

For this, Ryan can do nothing. After all, if Ryan can completely cover the trails of 70, 80,000 people, and even directly teleport these 70, 80,000 people to the hinterland of the Clay clan with the "Gate of Time and Space" magic, then Ryan is not. The magician is, but it is comparable to the existence of the main god, obviously this is impossible.Therefore, the only thing Ryan can do is to take turns with Androcos and the others to maintain the operation of the "Magic Eyes" magic circle, and give Orlando an early warning of the enemy.

The entire expeditionary army set off at dawn on the third day. Ryan called the captain of his 5000 popular shooters to his side, gave detailed instructions, and then asked them to lead their subordinates in the main force based on small teams. The surrounding realm of the troops.Since at Cassano, the entire army of popular shooters had practiced as scouts, so it seemed like it did.

Jonas led 20,000 square infantry and 20,000 archers as the main force, slowly marching westward under the scout's guard. As for the 20,000 logistics soldiers, they were also selected from the imperial capital army. They are all mounted on carts, and then several people work together to push the carts forward, and maintain a two-line formation during the journey.

This double formation is one of the best ways to fight the enemy's cavalry harassment on the plain. Once you encounter an enemy light cavalry attack, as long as the carts in front of and behind the formation are crossed, you can immediately form a solid structure on the flat ground. In the defensive position, a cart high enough to withstand the enemy's attack, and the soldiers in the position can stand by or launch a counterattack.

On the first day of the expeditionary army, there was little gain. After all, the Clay clan and the imperial capitals have been in a state of war. The residents of both sides could not run to the other side to hit their own way at any time. They settled down. Only encountered hundreds of scouts of the Clay clan, these scouts thought they could use their horses and bows to teach the invaders a lesson, but Ryan's popular archer gave them an unforgettable memory for a lifetime.

As Ryan’s elaborately crafted army of popular archers, the entire army of 5000 people are all trained by the outstanding elven wind archers, Moon Temple guard Seres and others. The Mithril longbows they are equipped with have a longer range and more hits. Precisely, those Clay scouts who were going to take advantage of it before leaving were all bitter under the long white arrows.

However, starting from the second day of the expeditionary force’s departure, the popular archers in charge of vigilance encountered more difficult enemies. These Clay fighters were all young and middle-aged men who were temporarily gathered from nearby camps. The appearance of 1200 people, although the overall combat effectiveness is not as good as the real elite of the Clay clan, they can be regarded as a force that cannot be underestimated, who have lived on horseback since childhood.

The temporarily assembled Clay fighters were gathered together and prepared to ambush a popular shooter squad. The commander of the Clay fighters, Basel, is about 50 years old and is the military of the Clay in this area. leader.After the Basel commander heard the news that the imperial capital had entered the grassland in a large scale, he immediately sent people to gather the young and middle-aged people from various tribes in a radius of over a hundred kilometers, and he also planned an ambush plan.

The Basel plan is very good. Once the ambush is successful, they can judge the enemy's situation through the enemy's corpse. Maybe they can get alive and ask carefully about the enemy's strength and main force, and then quickly send someone to notify Abdul The chief, not big or small, is also a credit.

Since the alert range of the Windrunner Army exceeds 50 kilometers, which is almost the limit of riding a horse back and forth in one day at a normal speed, and Androcos and their "magic eyes" cannot reach such a huge range, so they are The popular archers who lured into the siege did not realize that they were about to step into a well-arranged trap.

The captain of the Windrunner Legion Amos was originally a shooter among the hunter tribes in the Silent Forest, but after his family followed Letoz migrate to Cassano, just in time for Cassano to form the Windrunner Legion, so as An excellent hunter, Amos joined this army.

After a lot of cruel training, Amos not only was not eliminated, but because his original hunter has performed very well in training, even after the entire army is forming an army, he was promoted with his excellent results. As the team leader, he gained the power to command 50 people.

On this day, he led a team to run on the grassland, and suddenly discovered that several elderly herders immediately threw away dozens of Tarun sheep that were grazing after seeing them and fled, and the sensitive Amos immediately felt that it was possible here Seeing the elderly Clay people and the sheep, there was probably a Clay pasture nearby, so they led the team to catch up.
