Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 937 Night Attack (1)

Fighting at night and during the day are completely two things. During the day, the light is sufficient and the field of vision is very wide. If the cavalry of the brigade wants to launch a surprise attack, it must start to accelerate outside of the field of vision, so as to attack the enemy in the shortest time after their whereabouts are discovered Camp.As for the ground shaking caused by the rapid galloping of the cavalry of the brigade, it is no longer important, because as long as the cavalry charges fast enough, basically there is not much time to respond when the enemy notices it.

But night attacks are another situation. Due to the dim light at night, it is difficult for soldiers guarding the camp to see the situation hundreds of meters away. Dark clouds like tonight cover the weather, and the line of sight is weakened to less than 50 meters. The cavalry brigade preparing to launch a surprise attack has plenty of time to get close to the enemy camp, and when the horses have limited physical strength, the later they charge, the stronger the attacking power of the Cavalry of the Clay clan and the longer the fighting time. .

So the large group of Clay cavalry was dismounted from a distance. This is also a good way for them to maintain and recover their horsepower. After all, they had rushed for tens of kilometers before, and the horses under the hips must be a little tired.The Clay cavalry warriors who attacked at night cautiously led their horses and slowly approached the camp of the expeditionary army. The feet of each horse were covered with soft felt, so that the horses would not make any noise when they ran fast. And each horse's mouth is firmly tied by a bridle to save them from making noises inadvertently.

Tonight, the leader of the Clay Clan’s night assault force, Samil, rode on the horse, silently waiting for the vanguard to enter the predetermined area.Tonight he brought a total of 25,000 Clay light cavalry, which is also the entire force of the entire Clay clan in the eastern theater.

It's not that Semir didn't know that night raids would be very risky, but he couldn't help not to do so, because the expeditionary army's scouts were too powerful.Semir was once the personal guard of Chief Abdul. Both martial arts and military are the outstanding Clay people. Only then can Chief Abdul be entrusted with the important task. In his capacity, he has naturally seen the Clay people. The most elite troops, but this time he encountered the Imperial Expeditionary Army scouts, but it hurt his brain.

If they are just more riding skills, then the popular archers from Cassano are not as good as the Clays who have been living on horseback since they were a few years old. They have only been trained by elf archers and guards of the Moon Temple. Equipped with a full set of Mithril weapons and armor, Cassano's popular archer regiment became a nightmare for the Clay light cavalry.

The Clay light cavalry who once dominated the southern part of the continent, when they dispatched ten times their strength to ambush the Cassano Fengxing shooter, they were hunted one by one by their opponents, and finally had to withdraw before the Fengxing shooter brigade arrived. Semir wanted to chop off the head of the idiot captain who set up ambush, but after carefully learning about the situation of the popular shooter, Semir was silent.

The most elite force of the Clays is the Hoarfrost Legion personally led by Chief Abdul’s confidant Kailimu. In addition, the strength of the respective legions of Nurman and others is also very good, and the strength is comparable to that of Samil. The team is almost the same. Even if he leads his personal team into the ambush of Basel, Semir is almost annihilated, and he can't wait for reinforcements.

After all, Semir can naturally conclude that the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Expeditionary Army’s scout troops has surpassed the level of the regular Clay army. Even in the entire Imperial Expeditionary Army of 50,000 to 80,000, perhaps the most elite troops can reach The level of the Kailimu Hoarfrost Legion, this is definitely a terrible enemy.

For this reason, Semir immediately issued an order for a full retreat. This is also the reason why the expeditionary army could not see the traces of the Clay people for several consecutive days. Now more than ten days have passed since that order. Semir believes this imperial expeditionary army. There is bound to be a little impatient, so this night attack was planned.

"My lord, Captain Yaham in front has entered the predetermined position and can launch a surprise attack at any time." A messenger hurried to the front of Semir's horse and whispered.

Semir nodded and refocused his thoughts on the battlefield. Looking at the expeditionary camp about a few kilometers away, he could barely see some sparks. Ahham and the 3000 pioneers had disappeared in the darkness. bingo.

"The true god will bless Yaham and his 3000 warriors!" Semir prayed devoutly, and then kissed the ring that Chief Abdul gave him in his hand instead of his real body. The voice said: "Raise the fire to signal Ahham and the others to attack!"

"Huh!" After Semir's order was issued, three raging bonfires were lit up about 500 meters in front of Semir. Then, a huge shout of killing accompanied a slight vibration of the ground. It spread all over the quiet prairie late at night, and the night raid of the Clay clan began.

"Kill!" Yaham held a torch in each hand, and his legs alone were enough to urge his hips to rush towards the imperial expeditionary camp. Behind him, there are 3,000 of them. The Clay warriors, they shouted in unison, and each face showed a look of death. In their opinion, if they can die in the honor of defending the Clay clan, they can return to the embrace of the true god, and their family You can also get an extra pension from Chief Abdul, so there is nothing to worry about.

In order to avoid the large-scale ballista attack of the Imperial Expeditionary Army, these 3000 people adopted a loose formation as much as possible, and the distance between people was almost 3 to 5 meters. This formation was even more impressive, although There are only 3,000 people, but it still creates the feeling of an army.

Such a great momentum would naturally be noticed by the expeditionary army, but when Ahham and the others launched their charge, they were already less than 1,000 meters away from the expeditionary army camp, and this distance was only a few minutes below the galloping horse. In minutes, when Ahham's soldiers rushed to the edge of the expeditionary camp, not many people in the entire expeditionary camp entered the blocking position.

Ahham was overjoyed. He didn't expect it to be so smooth tonight. Obviously Lord Semir’s arrogant strategy worked. He roared and threw the torch in his right hand towards the nearest tent. Then he drew out the scimitar and slowly hovered over his head, while making a series of sharp whistles on his mouth, which was also a precursor to the attack of the Clay cavalry.

Yaham watched the torch he threw one head on the tent, igniting a raging fire, and the horse under his crotch avoided the nasty large-scale refusal horse and entered the camp of the expeditionary army. Shouted: "Warriors, kill this group..."
