Lord of Riding and Slashing

After the rendezvous of Lehman and Marko, Nord led the army all the way to crush it, and it didn't even take half a month to advance to the hinterland of the Seaman Kingdom, which is also the territory of their royal family, the Seaman Territory. This is an area Cut off by a big river.

The Sarifin River divides the Heman Kingdom into two, and the other side of the river is the Mam Plain. The reason why these two plains have such a fertile territory is inseparable from the Sarifin River. It is the Sarifin River With the continuous irrigation, the Seaman Kingdom is known as the granary on the mainland.

Nord looks at this river now and is a little worried, because the width of the Sarifin River can reach 50 meters, and the only wooden bridge on the river has been destroyed by the Seaman Kingdom. It seems that the Seaman Kingdom is determined I want to procrastinate.

The capital of the Seaman Kingdom is on the south bank of the Sarifin River, and Nord can even see the shadow of Gilman City from the north bank, but Nord has no way to cross the river now. Building a bridge across the river is nothing in this era Simple things, this requires very strong construction strength.

It is said that this bridge was built during the Erisin Empire, and the Seaman Kingdom only repaired it every year. Now, in order to resist the Nord attack, they actually chose to cut off the bridge, and the nobles of the Seaman Kingdom also It's a lot of courage.

Nord definitely doesn't have time to rebuild a wooden bridge now. It will take a long time to build a wooden bridge, and the army of the Seaman Kingdom may not sit back and watch Nord build the bridge safely, as long as they exclude some If the soldiers come to harass, the construction time of Nord may increase infinitely. The main problem of Nord now is to send the 20,000 troops to the other side of the river so quickly.

There is only one way in front of Nord, and that is to make a large number of rafts to cross the river at one time. Fortunately, the water of the Sarifin River is not fast, which gives the Nord army a chance to cross the river. When the river was rushing, Nord might really want to look at the river and cry, because it would be a natural moat that the raft could not cross.

But it is not easy to make a raft that can carry 20,000 troops, especially Nord must ensure that the troops who cross the river at one time must ensure combat effectiveness, because Nord can see that on the south bank of the Sarifin River, there are Some He-Man knights wandered near the river bank.

Nord knows that if the number of people crossing the river at one time is too small, it is very likely to be attacked by the Kingdom of Seaman, and it is even possible that when the Nord troops cross the river, the army of the Kingdom of Seaman may choose to attack halfway. Now, Nord dare not underestimate the army of the Seaman Kingdom. Even if their combat effectiveness is not very strong, their determination to fight is no less than that of Nord's troops.

For the sake of safety, Nord waited for another five days by the river bank and finally built enough rafts. The rafts built by Nord in the past few days can send five thousand troops to Surrey at one time. Going to the south bank of the Fin River, Nord believes that with an army of 5,000 men, it is enough to resist the army of the Heman Kingdom.

Looking at the army preparing to cross the river, under Nord's order, they stood crowded on the raft. Many soldiers who cut people with knives without blinking, stood trembling on the raft at this moment, and their eyes leaked out. fear of the river,

Another important reason why Nord is so cautious is that many of Nord's troops are landlubbers, which are not water-proof at all. If they fall into the water while crossing the river, they may really sink to the bottom, and they can't even bubble. arrive.

Sure enough, as Nord guessed, Nord's actions on the other side were seen by the nobles of the Seaman Kingdom. Although the two sides were separated by a river, Nord's every move could not be hidden from their eyes, and Nord thought The move to cross the river was still so obvious that the nobles of the Seaman Kingdom could not turn a blind eye.

Just when Nord's troops had just crossed the river, a group of soldiers came from the direction of Jiman City. Nord took a brief look, and there were at least tens of thousands of people. Nord's expression was a little rejoicing, and he wanted to do enough If you are in a hurry to cross the river and only send one or two thousand people at a time, then it is really very dangerous.

The river is only 50 meters wide, and it took Nord's troops ten minutes. When Nord's troops were about to cross the river, the soldiers of the Heman Kingdom beside the river bank were already in full battle, but they were not standing on the river bank. On the north bank of the Sarifin River, Nord's long-range troops are gaining momentum.

The distance of 50 meters is simply not difficult for Nord's long-range archers. The reason Nord allowed his troops to cross the river so confidently was because they were escorted by the long-range troops behind them. Obviously, the Seaman Kingdom also discovered this, and they were not within 300 meters of the river bank.

Instead, they waited until Nord's vanguard troops set foot on the river bank, and then began to charge towards the river bank. As long as the two sides started hand-to-hand combat, Nord's long-range troops would not be of much use. Before the second batch of soldiers arrived On the south bank, the first batch of soldiers who landed had already started fighting the enemies of the Seaman Kingdom.

Nord was still a little anxious. The Seaman Kingdom was clearly prepared. When Nord saw that these soldiers could maintain an effective formation when they charged, he knew that the soldiers on the south bank of the Sarifin River would be tested. Here they come, these soldiers are not the soldiers temporarily recruited by the nobles before, they may be the elite soldiers mobilized by King Heman's royal family during this period.

No matter how anxious Nord was, it couldn't change the fact that the speed of the raft drifting in the water was so slow. It would take at least 20 minutes before the next batch of soldiers reached the south bank, that is, the first batch arrived at the river bank. During this period of time, the soldiers must resist twice as many enemies as them.

The troops looked calmly at the soldiers of the two armies fighting on the river bank. From Nord's perspective, they didn't know what the situation on the river bank battlefield was like, but Nord believed that his troops would not be defeated so easily. The same goes for twice as many enemies.

The soldiers sent by the Seaman Kingdom are elite, but the soldiers of Nord are not bad at all, even more elite than them. Although the soldiers on the other side of the river are not as good as the soldiers of the Seaman Kingdom in terms of quantity, they are far superior in quality. far surpass them.

Especially in the more than a month's battle after entering the Heman Kingdom, the soldiers of the Nord army have been greatly improved. Although every battle of the Nord army during this period was very difficult, but during this period of time, the Nord army The improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops is also very obvious, the more you temper, the more you will gain.

Nord is very aware of how much his troops have improved during this period of time. The tenacious Heman Kingdom soldiers are like a whetstone. It's time.

Nord believes that his troops will teach the soldiers of the Seaman Kingdom a lesson. It is not a wise move to fight Nord's troops in the wild, even if they have an advantage in numbers. It is the same for them to hide behind the city walls and fight. The only choice.
