Chapter 238 Times Have Changed (Subscribe!)
The cavalry charged at the sound of the horn, the archers fired arrows at the command of the general, and the soldiers holding short swords fought the enemy face to face at close range...
The above are what Raymond O'Sullivan thinks a normal war is.
only……
When facing the Idar people, Raymond felt particularly powerless.
Different regional cultures have derived different ideas and concepts. Compared with the Norman nobles who focus on chivalry, the Odin people care more about the outcome of the war.
So... Odin's army, led by Mariano, passed through the Forest of Beasts and launched a surprise attack on the Norman Empire.
But the Normans are different. The nobles of the Norman Empire have always believed that sneak attacks are the privilege of the lowly and cowardly, so... head-on confrontation is the most common way of warfare for the Norman army.
But... the soldiers of Idar's army completely overturned Odin's soldiers' impression of these southerners and their views on war.
The Idar people did not engage in close combat with Odin's soldiers at all. Relying on air power and powerful long-range attacks, the Idar soldiers almost completely destroyed the fighting will of Odin's army.
No matter how brave the Odin men were, they had no place to use their strength because they couldn't even touch the corners of the Idar soldiers' clothes!
At this moment, watching the explosions taking place in various places in Sorenburg and listening to the roars that kept coming into his ears, Raymond finally figured it out...
The reason why the Idar people did not send troops to attack before and force him to retreat to the north was to let him retreat into Sorenburg, thus leaving all the Odin soldiers led by him here!
Moreover... after being surrounded by layers of siege, there was no way for me to remind Odin's army of the true situation in Idar Territory...
Thinking of this, Raymond couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It seemed as if every step of his plan had been calculated by the Idar people, causing him to step into the Idar people's trap step by step.
In the sky, Idar people were constantly throwing skyfires, outside the city, Idar soldiers were on full alert, and even at sea, there were Idar ships blocking the way...
At this moment, he couldn't escape! Odin's soldiers had nowhere to go!
Damn it!
Raymond paid a heavy price for his contempt for the Idar people. Amid the constant roar outside the window, he straightened his armor, polished his sword, and then... he finally strode out of the lord's castle that originally belonged to Earl Soren.
The violent explosion raised countless dust and sand, and the flying stones hit Raymond's armor, making a crisp sound.
"How many cavalry do we still have! How many infantry do we still have!" Raymond roared with all his might.
Because only in this way... can his voice penetrate the sound of the explosion and reach the ears of Odin's soldiers.
After hearing Raymond's roar, the long-lost deputy general finally found his backbone. He hurried towards Raymond, and then...
A magic crystal bomb that had just fallen exploded next to the deputy general, and his flesh and limbs were torn apart. The deputy general who was running towards Raymond the previous second turned into a mutilated corpse in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Raymond's eyes became redder and redder.
He jumped on his horse and rushed out of the city, calling out to any Odin soldiers he saw along the way.
At this moment, Raymond had only one thought in his mind.
That is, at all costs, he must pass on everything he saw in Idar County so that Odin's army can be prepared, even if it means his entire army is wiped out.
Raymond ran along the main road of Sorenburg towards the city gate. Along the way were broken walls and Odin's soldiers struggling to death, but everything in front of him did not slow down Raymond's speed at all.
The northern horse under his crotch ran at full speed, crossing the gullies and obstacles caused by the explosion and galloping all the way out of the city gate.
It has to be said that even when faced with such a fierce bombardment and facing the fear from deep in their hearts, the Odin people still showed excellent combat awareness.
When Raymond was finally able to see the city gate not far away, nearly a hundred Odin cavalrymen had gathered behind him.
Looking back at the cavalrymen whose faces were covered in ashes but who were forcing themselves to charge with him, Raymond felt a little sad.
Odin's soldiers originally numbered more than 1,500, but after experiencing rounds of bombardment, only a hundred were able to follow him and charge forward.
"kill!"
Raymond roared in grief and anger.
When Odin's cavalry finally rushed out of the city gate of Sorenborg, Raymond finally regained a familiar feeling.
Raymond stared at the Idar position not far away, and the Northland horse under him began to gradually accelerate. At this moment, the explosions and roars behind him seemed to be far away from him, replaced by dense horse hoof sounds and cold wind whistling in Raymond's ears.
This is the battlefield he is familiar with...
Odin's cavalry was like a rushing sword, galloping towards the Idar people's position.
Sam Layton looked at the Odin cavalry rushing out of the city gate and said in a deep voice: "Fire!"
The magic cannon that had been ready to fire finally roared again, and the gunner had almost lowered the angle of the magic cannon to the limit.
Boom boom
Raymond seemed to hear the wailing coming from behind him, and seemed to feel the blood splashing behind him, but... Raymond acted as if he didn't hear it, and still rushed straight towards the Idar position.
As long as he could tear open a hole in the Idar people's position, he could pass on the intelligence of the Idar people and prevent Odin's army from repeating the same mistake...
Then……
He saw the Idar cavalry.
As the Odin cavalry led by Raymond got closer and closer to the artillery position, the cavalry led by Idar finally began to speed up...
The Idar people's war horses are not as good as the Northern horses, but with the help of stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes, the well-trained Idar cavalry is definitely capable of fighting.
Sam Layton took the lead, leading the Idar cavalry to meet them straight ahead...
The Idar people are there to guard the land behind them and to protect the peace of Idar territory, while Odin's Iron Cavalry is there to pass on information about the Idar people so that they can survive.
Finally, the two groups of people collided fiercely. They all held the will to die, fighting and shouting, roaring and struggling.
The cavalrymen of Idar fought with all their might, vowing to keep all the Odin people on this land and make them pay for invading Idar.
Everyone was so blood-curdling that when the last Odin's cavalryman was cut down, the Idar cavalrymen could not help but stand still in silence...
