The Original Vampire

The north wind howled, and the heavy snow on the ice field in the sky fell again.

However, no amount of snow could stop the battle from continuing.

It had been nine days since the black cavalry had caught up and started to harass the "tortoise shell" of the main army of trolls from all sides.

For nine days, the 50,000 black cavalry troops were divided into three groups, and they took turns to go into battle to carry out harassment tactics against the troll army.

During these nine days, the army of trolls had only traveled less than fifty kilometers.

At this tortoise-like speed, this army of trolls does not know when they will be able to return to the settlement located in the northern half of the sky ice field.

Moreover, they have left more than 30,000 corpses of troll soldiers during the short 50-kilometer journey.

Perhaps such a number of casualties does not seem to be too traumatic for an army of more than 200,000.

However, this pressure of no hope of escape is destroying the fragile nerves of the troll soldiers day by day, pushing them to the brink of collapse.

And the army formation of the troll army, under this constant harassment, began to expose more and more flaws.

However, the Black Cavalry still did not launch a general attack.

They are like a seasoned and cruel hunter, constantly scratching small wounds on their prey, watching it bleed, struggle, and weaken with each passing day...

Marquis Garcia was patient.

Colin is also very patient.

In fact, Colin even wished the trolls would stick around a little longer.

Because, following Marquis Garcia during this time, he did learn a lot about cavalry combat.

These things can't be learned from military books or battle examples in romance novels.

Not even the military education of the Angele family can match.

In Colin's memory, the family's military education was almost all about infantry combat.

No way, the Angele family can't afford cavalry.

But now, after seeing the terrifying power of the Black Cavalry, Ke Lin couldn't help but want to make a cavalry of his own.

Once this kind of thought arises, it will be deeply rooted in Colin's mind, and it will never linger.

In order to better experience the way cavalry fights, with the permission of Marquis Garcia, Colin also personally participated in several harassment operations by the black cavalry.

Although there is no detailed statistics, Colin estimates that there should be thirty or forty troll soldiers he shot and killed.

He didn't care about this military feat. After all, Marquis Garcia was not the lord he was loyal to. No matter how he behaved, he couldn't get Marquis Garcia's award.

However, Colin felt that what he had learned from Marquis Garcia was actually more valuable than money, territory, and even titles.

He hadn't even figured out why the Marquis thought of himself so differently.

However, he will not miss this excellent learning opportunity.

"Lord Marquis, can the size of each cavalry team be bigger during the harassment operation?"

No, Colin found the right time and started to ask again.

Marquis Garcia has long been accustomed to this: "The key to determining the scale of cavalry operations is to grasp the balance between mobility and aggressiveness.

The size of the cavalry team is too small, and the mobility is naturally excellent, but the attack is poor.

However, it is not that the larger the cavalry team sent, the better.

Once the cavalry exceeds 10,000, the commander must be extra careful, and the military order must not be complicated, let alone change too much, because once the military order is changed on the spot, it will cause confusion.

Therefore, the general cavalry team is controlled at the scale of 1,000 to 3,000, and the mobility and aggression are well balanced.

As for how to dispatch,

It will be decided on the spot according to the objectives of the battle, the state of the enemy and other factors. "

Colin kept nodding.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the black cavalry soldiers who went out to harass and fight in the morning have returned to their camps one after another.

But Colin was still keenly aware that the half-day harassment operation ended slightly early this morning.

Originally, he didn't care too much. After all, after so many days of continuous fighting, even the hard-hitting soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army couldn't help but show a little tiredness.

However, the increasingly solemn atmosphere in the camp made Colin realize something.

After hurriedly stuffing some food as a pretense, and drinking some blood to replenish his strength, Colin came to Marquis Garcia's camp.

The guards outside the tent did not stop him. They were already very familiar with the son of the baron who was valued by Marquis Garcia.

"Lord Marquis, are you going to prepare for a decisive battle?" Colin asked excitedly, looking at Marquis Garcia who was wearing his armor with the help of his squire.

Marquis Garcia smiled slightly: "Well, it's almost time."

After speaking, he walked out of the tent.

Colin hurriedly followed.

Outside the tent, the soldiers of the Black Cavalry had already begun to prepare for the battle.

Moreover, Ke Lin noticed that the group of soldiers who participated in the harassment in the morning were also preparing for it now.

In addition, the three thousand heavily armored cavalry, who had not participated in the harassment operation before, finally put on their armor and was ready to go.

These heavy-armored cavalrymen in full-body armor, like steel monsters, exude a terrifying and terrifying aura, as well as the ultimate desire to kill.

They have waited too long and are already hungry!

In fact, the heavy armored cavalry has always been controversial, because its advantages and disadvantages are equally prominent.

Expensive, bulky, and few applicable scenarios... However, none of these shortcomings can cover up the biggest advantage of heavy armored cavalry - that is, the extremely terrifying impact!

Therefore, the heavy armored cavalry has become the best weapon to break through the infantry phalanx.

At this decisive moment, Marquis Garcia finally sacrificed the big killer in the black cavalry - the three thousand heavy cavalry!

However, while Colin was excited, he was surprised to find that Marquis Garcia had also put on full body armor and held a lance, and came to the forefront of the heavy cavalry phalanx.

"You, are you going to lead the army in person?"

"certainly."

Marquis Garcia's take for granted made Colin a little astonished. He really didn't understand why Marquis Garcia, as the supreme commander of the Black Cavalry, had to take risks himself.

You must know that the heavy armored cavalry that attacked the infantry phalanx, under the cover of its terrorist attack power, is a terrible casualty rate that cannot be ignored.

Earl Dawson on the side smiled and said to Colin: "Every time the heavy armored cavalry attacked, it was led by the Marquis himself."

Just when Colin was at a loss for words, Marquis Garcia suddenly asked with a smile, "Knight Colin, dare to rush with me?"

"Of course!" Colin replied without hesitation. "It's my pleasure!"

"Okay!" Marquis Garcia laughed, "Then you will hold the flag for me!"

"Yes!" Colin immediately stepped forward to take the heavy black lion flag.

The flag-bearer who handed over patted Ke Lin's chest heavily, so much force that Ke Lin couldn't help but suspect that the other party was probably jealous of him.

"Ugh-"

The vast horn sounded again.

The killing has begun!
