Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Since the failure of the night attack of the Clay clan, a large number of cavalry of the Clay clan has been divided into small groups as if going crazy, continuously harassing the expeditionary army.No matter day or night, there will be a small team of Clay fighters trying to approach the expeditionary army from different directions. The popular shooters in charge of scout affairs will naturally not let them achieve their goals easily. Therefore, in the past ten days, every day will Dozens of small-scale battles broke out.

Although the Feng Xing Archers are the elite of Cassano, they will still feel fatigued, will still be injured and bleeding, and there will be casualties after encountering the Clay suicide attack.So when the expeditionary army marched less than 300 kilometers away from the Jinghu camp where the chief of the Clay clan was located, at least more than 200 popular archers died in the line of duty. Although they killed 20 times their own enemy, they were in Lane’s In my heart, there is still a bit of pain.

In the past 29 days, the Imperial Expeditionary Force has penetrated more than 2500 kilometers into the grassland, destroying more than 40 Clay settlements along the way, and annihilating more than 18,000 Clay fighters.According to the information collected by the Fengxing shooters, it is clear that the Clay clan has shrunk strength and concentrated in the Jinghu area. Although Orlando is still unclear where there are exactly how many enemies there are, one thing is certain, that is, as the leader of the Clay clan, Ah Since Chief Budul chose to station troops in Jinghu, the next main battle will inevitably be nearby.

Now the Imperial Expeditionary Force is less than 300 kilometers away from Dijing Lake. If this distance is a long-distance raid on a fast horse, then it can be reached overnight, but Orlando does not plan to adopt this method because it is too risky. , A little carelessness will wipe out the whole army, it is better to move forward steadily.

Chief Abdul in Jinghu naturally also had the same idea. Now he has concentrated 100,000 elite Clay shooters and 350,000 auxiliary troops. This 450,000 army sounds enough to make any Clay people excited, because The last time the Clay clan had this number of shooters, it was hundreds of years ago. At that time, the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion on the mainland had just begun.

Abdul looked at the densely packed people on the prairie with ambition in Jinghu, determined to fight the main force of the expeditionary army. As the master of the prairie, Chief Abdul has an inherent advantage, that is, he can choose the location of the battlefield. , To maximize its own advantages.

The Imperial Expeditionary Army and the Clay army approached cautiously. The cavalry units of the two sides began to contact, and this contact quickly evolved into a small-scale battle. The cavalry units invested by both sides became larger and larger, and finally a series of outbreaks broke out. After the battle, both confirmed each other's intentions, and slowly chose the plan that was most beneficial to them, starting the layout before the decisive battle.

Chief Abdul led a Clay army of 450,000 to set up a camp on the west of Uranos Ranch. Uranos Ranch is about 50 kilometers away from Jinghu Lake. Its terrain is slightly higher in the west and lower in the east. It is suitable for cavalry to charge, and the terrain is wide, but it allows hundreds of thousands of troops to line up, which will make the Clay people's number advantage to the limit.

As for Orlando, since Chief Abdul has led his troops to block his way to the west, his only choice is to meet up for a decisive battle, because the grassland has limited water for tens of thousands of people to drink. , Even if Orlando wants to take risks, it is impossible to take a large force to bypass Abdul’s barracks, even if the latter ignores him, Orlando will find enough drinking water.

When the two sides set up their respective camps at a distance of 20 kilometers, the cavalry contact with each other no longer proceeded. Both sides have a tacit understanding of controlling their military activities within a small area, and as far as possible are no longer controlled by the other side. The area provoked, and the prairie restored its previous calm for a while, but everyone knew it was just a brief silence before the storm.

Soon, the Androkos couple, who were overdrawn by magic, provided Orlando with information. At the cost of exhausting their mana, they detected through the "magic eyes" that the Clay military camp 20 kilometers away was stationed for about 40 kilometers. With 500,000 soldiers, this information is very inaccurate, but it is also the best information that the Imperial Expeditionary Army can collect.

The Imperial Expeditionary Army brought 40,000 infantry and 20,000 heavy soldiers this time. Apart from Cassano’s 5,000 popular shooters, only the 5,000 Royal Knights who have been concealed are left, facing the enemy seven times as much as its own. Orlando thought about the strength of the army, and finally decided on a back camp plan.

Since the later the Royal Knights appear, the more deadly it will be to the Clay army, so Orlando decided to use its own military camp as the basis to set up the battlefield for the battle, because once the Royal Knights enters a state of combat, whether it is a person Ma Quan can still wear armor, and such an obvious mark can be seen at a glance, so it must continue to block the news of the Royal Knights' battle with the support of the camp.

In addition, since all the Clays are cavalry, if the expeditionary army advances in an infantry phalanx, it will inevitably be harassed by the Clay cavalry. There are many opponents. If the branches take turns, the expeditionary army is likely to be dragged down. , So relying on the camp to lure the opponent to attack is the most correct choice.

After the Clay group comes in, the Imperial Expeditionary Army can first rely on the camp position to defend, use bows and arrows to fight against the opponent at attrition, and then let the Royal Knights launch a charge at a critical moment. If it can break through the enemy's formation, Then the soldiers of the Jonas Legion will also mount a war horse and follow the Holy Knights in Orlando to attack the Clay tribe, and ultimately defeat the Clay tribe's army.

When the entire combat plan was drawn up, the expeditionary force immediately became busy. This time, the 20,000 logistics personnel accompanying the team were all carefully selected soldiers from other troops. They not only had to undertake the task of building defensive camps, but also Be responsible for staying behind and guarding the expeditionary camp after the attack by the Jonas Army.

As the highest military commander in the imperial capital, General Orlando will naturally consider war from many aspects. In preparing for the main battle, Orlando also decided to hand over an important task to Ryan, which is to let Ryan lead the popular shooter army from Cassano. After going around overnight and lurking near Jinghu Lake, when the main decisive battle begins on the second day, Ryan and the others can take the opportunity to attack the Clay Jinghu camp. Once successful, this will definitely hit the morale of the Clay main force. deadly.

Of course, because the Imperial Expeditionary Army came from a long distance, they were not completely aware of the terrain here. Even if there was the title of God of War in Orlando among the people, they didn’t know that there were towering peaks in the Jinghu Camp of the Clay Clan in the north, and the endless south. For huge lakes, unless Fengxing Archer puts his wings in, it is really not an easy task to pass through the moat in a short time.

As for the commander of this partial division, Ryan, he never expected that on the eve of the decisive battle between the Imperial Expeditionary Army and the main force of the Clay tribe, in his second hometown of Cassano, a huge conspiracy had already occurred. Quietly shrouded in the sky.
