Chapter 99: The Mountain Rain is Coming, the Wind is Full of Buildings (Middle)
"Has the General returned?" Nearly three hours after Ai Su, on the black stone wall of Emir's fortress, Liu Yu, who was wearing a black leather armor and looked slightly tired, asked Ivan beside him with a gloomy face.
"No, but the flying eagle of General Xiaowei has just arrived at the fortress. I saw several General Youwei with a normal expression, and they didn't gather us to support them, so it should be fine. By the way, how's that little kid you sent back?" Ivan said calmly, his brow furrowing slightly as he mentioned the wounded soldier Liu Yu brought back, seemingly worried about the soldier's condition.
"It's nothing, fortunately there is a high-ranking shaman around, and his injuries are not serious. I estimate that he will be fine after resting for ten or so days." As he spoke of the wounded soldier he had brought back, Liu Yu's face was calm as usual, but in his heart, he felt a slight movement.
"Wu Lou, one team of more than 700 wolf warriors from the Mongolian side were surrounded, how many people did Fanord mobilize? If it goes on like this, our patrol team's scale should be increased to what extent, do we need to mobilize a whole division plus two thousand wolf warriors?"
When Liu Yu said that the injured soldier was not a big deal, Ivan's furrowed brow relaxed slightly, but soon furrowed again, starting to worry about the patrol problem from now on.
"That kid told me that at least two thousand Farnod riders surrounded them, but basically they were all directly affiliated with the legion's cavalry and their strength was average. Some of them weren't even worth fighting. They just ambushed a few archers in advance, killing five flying eagles who came to ask for help, and fifty or sixty imperial guards were tied up by the Bimon warriors. I estimate that there are reinforcements behind them trying to annihilate them completely." As he spoke, Liu Yu's face grew even colder.
Eight nights ago, after a battle with the Imperial Guard, the lieutenant of the Emalbennon fortress naturally immediately reported this important military information to the high-level officials of the Kingdom Army. By the third day, the Kingdom had also sent reinforcements, including 100 Bimon warriors from the Fourth Division, First Battalion, Fifth Brigade, and 2,000 mixed-race wolf warriors from the Second Division, to support the fortress.
Including Liu Yu's First Battalion, Third Brigade, one hundred Mongolian warriors and two thousand wolf-like warriors from the mixed brigade, plus the First Battalion, Fourth Brigade that had been supporting them before, along with their wolf-like warriors.
At that time, the garrison of Emar had 300 Ba-Mon warriors and 6,000 Wolf Tribe warriors. This was already one of the largest garrisons in the nearby forts. Liu Yu also took the opportunity to explain the importance of Emar Fort to Di Geng and Yifan, who were still unclear about it.
In the next two or three days, the patrol troops of Farnod Saz Province were still very restless and repeatedly launched attacks on the patrol troops of the fortress. In order to ensure the safety of the patrol troops and avoid being surrounded by the cavalry of Farnod Saz, the three brigade commanders of the fortress decided to increase the number of patrols by more than three times.
In the past, a fire belt with two hundred wolf warriors was just a patrol team. Now it takes more than seven hundred wolf warriors on six fire belts to mobilize a patrol. I didn't expect that such a large-scale patrol team would still be surrounded by Farnode cavalry today.
Fortunately, early this morning, Liu Yu's Fourth Division, led by Camp Instructor Komu Luni of the First Battalion, arrived at the fortress with the remaining First Brigade, 200 Beimon warriors and three high-ranking Fox Tribe shamans to provide support. As soon as Komu arrived at the fortress, he decided to take the First Brigade and a thousand wolf warriors on patrol along the border.
As a familiar person of Komu, Liu Yu was also called to be the guide for his inspection tour. Then, with Komu and several of his bodyguards walking in front, Liu Yu encountered the besieged Golden Bimon cavalry.
Liu Yu felt strange in his heart when he thought of the golden-haired Bam who had been rescued by himself. Because this wounded soldier named Gafur Luk, was actually the cousin of the golden-haired Bam Luffy Luk, whom he had met on the Beast God Festival blind date this year, and belonged to a very close blood relative.
"Alexander, look, the patrol team is back." Just as Liu Yu was thinking about what had happened in the past few days, Ivan's words interrupted his thoughts. Following Ivan's pointing direction, on the plain one or two miles south of the fortress, a beast tribe cavalry team with several golden Bhimana flags held high was slowly advancing towards the fortress.
"Ready, all units prepare to move out and assist the wounded." At the same time Liu Yu saw this cavalry, the gathering military horn and the commander's order came one after another from within the fortress. Upon hearing the order, Liu Yu and several others quickly ran down from the city wall, and together with many of the fortress guards, they rushed towards the approaching cavalry troops.
"It's so many!" Liu Yu only realized when he approached this cavalry team that nearly half of the troops were wounded.
"It seems there will be a tough battle ahead." Liu Yu muttered to himself as he looked at these wounded soldiers.
Two days later, at noon, more than ten miles outside the Emal fortress, a cavalry of thousands of beastmen was fighting fiercely with nearly 10,000 Fano cavalry. On the battlefield, each beastman cavalry faced at least two Fano cavalrymen. Some powerful beastmen, such as Huang Jin Bimont, even faced five or six Fano cavalrymen attacking him simultaneously.
In the midst of the chaotic army, Liu Yu, clad in black armor, frantically urged his warhorse forward. At the same time, a Franconian cavalryman over ten meters away also spurred on his horse, charging towards Liu Yu. In an instant, the two horsemen were about to collide, Liu Yu half-crouched on the horseback, raising his short spear to stab at the opponent's chest, while the opponent also crouched on the horseback, with a long spear in hand, stabbing at Liu Yu's warhorse's neck.
It seems that the other side wants to get rid of Liu Yu's war horse first, but Liu Yu did not give him this opportunity.
At the moment when the two sides passed by, Liu Yu's body actively moved half a position to the right of the saddle. The left hand that was originally holding the reins picked up the opponent's spearhead that was about to stab his war horse, and sent it into his own arms, and the opponent's long spear inserted through the gap under Liu Yu's arm and ribs.
"Whoosh" was almost simultaneously grasping the opponent's long gun, Liu Yu tightly clenched his teeth and his face suddenly turned bright red. His left hand forcefully pushed to the upper left, and Liu Yu forcibly snapped the opponent's long gun in two.
This Fan Yue cavalry saw Liu Yu grab his long gun, and he fiercely tried to pull it back, but under the full-speed impact of the two war horses, there was no possibility of this. Originally, his spear was longer than Liu Yu's, and he could have stabbed Liu Yu's war horse first, but with Liu Yu grabbing like this, his weapon advantage disappeared instantly.
However, this Fan Duo cavalry was also an old hand on horseback. Almost at the same time Liu Yu grabbed his long gun, Liu Yu's short gun stabbed to his chest. This rider made a response in an instant, he clamped his legs tightly on the horse's body, loosened his hands and let go of the long gun, bowed his head down, and his entire upper body was stuck to the horseback, making Liu Yu's short gun stab empty.
Before this Fandor cavalryman could even celebrate his narrow escape, a pained whinny from his warhorse sounded right next to him. Immediately after, the horse under him stumbled several times and was about to fall to the ground. This mysterious cavalryman lightly leaped off the horse's back.
He stood still and looked at his war horse's buttocks, where half of the standard long gun was stuck, which was exactly the weapon that had been broken off from him just now.
As he saw this, the Farnese cavalryman seemed to have suddenly remembered something terrible. He lifted his head in terror and a black warhorse, like a black lightning bolt, was charging towards him.
Just as he was about to jump to one side, a golden-haired blond cavalryman with a golden pom-pom on his helmet suddenly stood up straight from the horseback, his right hand holding a long sword that slashed down and swung sideways, beheading the cavalryman. The head flew off in a perfect arc before gently falling to the ground.
Liu Yu took a deep breath, having just witnessed the cavalry charge and knights' long spears clashing, something he had seen countless times on TV but never thought he'd experience in person.
But Liu Yu didn't have the luxury to indulge in sentiment now, for his earlier display had clearly caught the attention of the enemy, and seven or eight Farnese cavalrymen were charging towards him.
"Come on, let's have a good fight!" Liu Yu shouted loudly, and without hesitation, he urged his war horse forward, charging towards an enemy who was rushing towards him. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were like two high-speed cars, about to collide.
