Lord of Riders

The plains of the Kingdom of Swadia are vast and fertile. There are millions of Swadians living in this land.

The Kingdom of Swadia had a population of up to two million ten years ago. But as the war continued, the population of the Kingdom of Swadia has now fallen to less than one million. The constant war consumption, coupled with the fall of Dehrim and Uxhal, caused the kingdom of Swadia to lose more than 400,000 people.

The Kingdom of Swadia is a large agricultural country with a large population. It depends on their farmland and is not easy to migrate. Therefore, the residents living here now fell under the rule of the Nord Kingdom and the Anglo Empire. Of course, many refugees fled to the Shao Ming Kingdom, and some of them went to the other two towns in the Swadia Kingdom. .

Now the strength of the Swadia Kingdom is shrinking rapidly, but there are still more than 5,000 Swadia heavy cavalry, and hundreds of powerful Swadia knights. At the same time, they also have tens of thousands of heavy armored infantry sergeants, and tens of thousands of marksman troops equipped with powerful crossbows produced by the Shao Ming Kingdom. Therefore, the current Swadia Kingdom still has a strong combat effectiveness. .

Dunn rode a war horse and led 30,000 horses, marching from Uxhal to Suno.

Dunn didn't bring too many soldiers this time. The Anglo-Saxon Empire consisted mainly of infantry and archer troops, and lacked cavalry. Only their royal regiment had 20,000 dragon cavalry.

Compared to their army of nearly 400,000, these two thousand are too few.

Therefore, Dunn was also carrying infantry and archer troops.

This time, Dunn brought out a total of 5,000 flying dragoons. The flying dragoons are equipped with ponies that are a specialty of the Anza Empire. They have good endurance, but speed is not their strong point. Compared with the packhorses produced in Calradia, their speed is not much faster. Because they carry soldiers, they The speed is even slower.

However, although the horses of the cavalry troops of the Anglo-Saxon Empire did not show any advantages in the Calradia continent, in fact, the combat effectiveness of these cavalry was not weak. These cavalry were usually responsible for the safety of the royal family, so they were all top combatants. Warrior. Everyone wears a set of iron armor and is equipped with a one-meter long epee. Their dragon cavalry once left a large number of armored Nord pirates to bring a heavy blow. With the impact of the epee, their epee can easily damage the soldiers in the armor.

The army that Dunn led this time consisted of 3,000 cavalry, 15,000 infantry, and 12,000 archers. Although the number is small, the combat effectiveness is not weak.

Du En wanted to go to the Kingdom of Swadia to test their strength, but did not plan to launch a general offensive directly, so he did not bring too many troops.

Du En inquired about the news in advance, and there were more than 40,000 defenders in Suno City. The 100,000 horses in the Swadia Kingdom are mainly concentrated in the two towns of Suno and Palavin.

Of course, Dunn would not think that with his 30,000 horses he could capture the heavily defended Suno. These are just bait. In fact, Dunn has worked out a battle plan with Barka and his generals. The army led by Dunn went directly into the territory of the Kingdom of Swadia. But Barka led the naval fleet and 50,000 armies, and quickly landed from the port next to Paravin, the capital of the Kingdom of Swadia, and attacked Paravin.

Just like the means used when attacking the Kingdom of Rodok. Confused the enemy's sight, and entered while taking advantage of the emptiness.

However, when Dunn's 30,000 army reached the edge of the large forest in the Kingdom of Swadia, a shower of arrows suddenly shot out from the bushes of the forest.

The army of the Angsa Empire was caught off guard, and many soldiers were injured immediately.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Fight!" The soldiers of the Anglo-Saxon Empire reacted quickly and immediately faced the direction of the forest.

The archers didn't know where the enemy was hiding in the sneak attack, but shot at the dense forest. But there are many trees in the dense forest, and many arrows are shot on the trunk.

After shooting two rounds of arrow rain, the people in the dense forest stopped moving and did not continue to attack. Relying on the shelter of the woods, the soldiers of the Anza Empire did not find their hiding place.

This round of sneak attacks caused hundreds of casualties to the Anza Empire army. There should not be many sneak attacks. But no one knows how many enemies are in ambush here.

"Marshal, what shall we do"

An officer of the Anglo-Saxon Empire asked Dunn for instructions

"Should we send soldiers in to search?" the officer said

"No, order the army to stay away from this forest, they will follow by themselves" Du En shook his head and said

"Yes, Marshal," the officer agreed, and when he returned, he ordered the soldiers to move away from the densely wooded place and march in a wide area.

However, before the soldiers of the Angsa Empire had time to stay away from the dense forest, there was a sudden call to kill in the jungle.

Another arrow shot out from the dense forest, hitting many Anza soldiers. Then one by one soldiers came out from the dense forest.

"There are ambushes, the army gathers together!" Du En saw that someone arranged an ambush here and quickly ordered.

Dunn is not familiar with this place, so he dare not act rashly now, and ordered a conservative defensive strategy to line up against the enemy.

The soldiers of the Anglo-Saxon Empire gathered quickly after receiving the order. The infantry blocked the outermost and aimed their five-meter-long spears at the incoming enemies. Behind them were rows of archers with long bows in their hands. Also aimed at the top of the enemy's head.

As the ambushes entered the range of the archers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ arrows flew toward them.

Before the infantry on both sides came into contact. The first was fierce confrontation. The infantrymen of the Anza Empire were equipped with five-meter-long spears, but there was a fatal flaw. Because they use heavy spears, they cannot use protective weapons such as shields. They can only use their bodies to deal with the damage of the opponent's long-range weapons.

But their guns obviously couldn't stop the crossbow bolt's shooting. One by one, the Anza Empire soldiers were shot and killed by the crossbow in the ambush shooting.

Soon, the ambush rushed out. The soldiers of the Anza Empire recognized it immediately, and the army of the Swadia Kingdom ambushed them.

Those crossbowmen used are the heavy crossbows produced by the Shao Ming Kingdom. However, these soldiers of the Anglo-Saxon Empire saw these powerful crossbows for the first time.

With a range of five hundred meters, the army of the Anglo-Saxon Empire suffered a lot from the battle.

Their range surpassed the longbowmen of the Anza Empire, so hundreds of them had fallen before they were relieved of their enemies.
