Chapter 48
As night fell, a winding fire dragon advanced from south to north to the south of the Tie Family Castle in the northern border, with a blazing flames.
In the wilderness of the Tie Family, the temporary positions built by the Xinmin Army also soared into the sky. Unlike the winding fire dragons that were advancing, the fire here was the stars lit up in the camps from east to west.
The defensive positions of the New Minister Army were outlined without any trace. In the darkness, it was like a straight red line, drawing a straight horizontal line in the open wilderness. This was a line of defense and a line of blocking.
In a Gaogang camp located in the middle of the line, William, commander-in-chief of the New Minister Army and Kanter were holding a military combat meeting in Muzhai camp with the central army and three combat battalions of the rear army.
The camp was surrounded by secret sentries, and the fifty most elite Gripen Guard Rangers, patrolling and patrolling the janitors in the area two miles around Gaogang.
When they were checking a slope defense position, they saw the fire dragon coming from afar on the top of the mountain.
One of the Rangers cursed loudly, "The enemy is coming, go and inform the commander."
The cavalry quickly delivered the information to the command camp tent as soon as possible. The military combat meeting was approaching the end. The plan to coordinate the battle with the positions was deployed in front of the station. Just after the meeting was issued, William was under the military information and stood up from the first position. Under the torch of the tent, the littoral commander William was illuminated by a carefully trimmed black beard on his face. His beard was trimmed like a sharp knife, which fitted with his nose like a sharp knife. His pair of ice blue eyes were blue. At this moment, he looked around the officers at all levels in the tent, staring at him, and staring at him so hard that he felt panic.
"Everyone, the first battle of the New Minister Army is coming. This battle is the first battle of the New Minister Army and the first battle to fight back against the Esos in the North. The people in the North are watching us, and the guardians are also watching us. Your hometown elders, your wives and children are watching us. The deployment has been issued. You can join your soldiers according to the established plan. The New Minister Army must win. Do the first round of defense. If the central army positions are broken, the rear army will make up. If the rear army is broken, it will not send a message to ask for reinforcements. You will cut it off on your own."
William's voice was heavy and powerful. The battalion commanders of the camp tent, and the captain, heard this, immediately stood up and straightened his back. While saying aloud, he said in unison: "As for orders."
William looked at the heroic and confident faces, and his voice increased by octave.
"The New Min Army will win. After the war, I will personally hold a celebration banquet for you in the Tie Family Castle behind me and report to Baigang to you."
"The army will win."
"The army will win."
"Go down and prepare."
"yes!"
When two fire dragons collided, the situation would be very tragic.
The fierce fighting sounds, the neighing of war horses, and the screams of people echoed in the wilderness. The attendant who had been sitting in the central tent for a long time was not as patient as the commander-in-chief William. At the beginning of the battlefield, the battle reports were constantly sent to the tent by the commander-in-chief, but he remained motionless.
The dry air in the camp tent made Kant feel suffocated. When the battle report in front of the camp was presented, he could no longer sit still. He opened the curtain of the camp and walked to the edge of Gaogang Hill where the Central Army camp was located. A magnificent scene of war appeared in front of him.
The two armies were already fighting in chaos. Under the night, they could not see clearly the clothes of both sides of the war. The torches illuminated the long line of defense, while defending the line of defense, while rushing wildly.
All this can only be judged by the number of torches raised by the soldiers and the direction.
The battle was fierce, and the torches were several hundred meters apart were confrontation. The New Min Army originally formed a formation of fortifications on dozens of low hills, high and low, with a large and low formation, to resist the enemy. The enemy's desperate attack made several low hills full of red, which meant that the enemy's stormtroopers had attacked those low hills. If the hole was broken, the rear army on standby in the Tie Castle would need to go quickly to fill the hole.
The night is difficult for the cavalry to perform.
It can only be used as a pursuit team on the harvest battlefield.
It seems that choosing night attack is a strategy that the Essos, who lacked war horses, had long calculated.
Under the red-bottomed and black-patterned banner with the closest sight, more than 100 cavalry of the New Minister Army were struggling to pursue the enemy's defeat that had just retreated. The cavalry was not far ahead of the position, with bright fire lights illuminating, and quickly chasing the fugitives. However, it is already unwise to move forward and attack the enemy's original formation.
Kanter squinted his eyes and looked for a long time before he could see clearly that this should be the flag of the First Cavalry Team of the Third Battalion of the Central Army. The commander was a flag-holding cavalry in the former independent battalion of the Gripen Army. Now he was promoted to the captain of the cavalry and has a hundred new recruits under his command. The training and actual combat of the cavalry team have not been systematically tested, and the combat effectiveness should not be too strong. But why does this guy think he can break through the Ursos formation with long spears?
The spearmen were originally the best weapon to deal with cavalry, not to mention that at night, when the sight was blocked, the horses could easily lose their sense of direction after rushing into the enemy formation. However, Kanter quickly understood the plan of the cavalry team, because other high grounds in their third combat battalion were facing huge pressure, and the direction he was in was slightly weak. It seemed that he planned to put some pressure on the enemy's own formation and prevent the enemy from attacking too unscrupulously.
There are crossbows everywhere on the battlefield, and sometimes you can't tell whether the arrow is shot from the front or back. It's probably not that easy for this cavalry team to slightly involve the Esos' army.
Fortunately, it is a good thing to make a bold decision on the battlefield. If a cavalry team cannot control the enemy, then one or two more are just added.
There are two such teams now. Kanter found that in his sight, he vaguely saw two cavalry teams starting to rush down from his position.
One was the guard cavalry team of the New Minister Army, which Kant was familiar with. The command captain was the deputy captain of the commander William's personal guard. The other was too far away to see clearly. However, with the addition of these two cavalry, the enemy's offensive against other low hills was obviously not as unscrupulous as before. The tide-like enemy began to show signs of receding from the tail.
Although Kanter believed that it would be difficult for the cavalry to truly break through the enemy's original formation, the Essos seemed to be quite worried about the security of the weak central position.
