Chapter 282: A Great Victory (Part 2)
The appearance of the Idar cavalry marked the beginning of the Idar people's full-scale offensive.
Odin's army did suffer heavy losses in the hail of bullets from the Idar people, but it is undeniable that the total number of Odin's soldiers is still far greater than that of Idar's soldiers.
But even though they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, Idar's soldiers still began to chase Odin's soldiers who outnumbered them several times!
Yes, Odin's soldiers were indeed numerous, but their brutality and ferocity had long been worn away by the Idar people's hail of bullets, and they had no desire to fight anymore.
The smaller Idar army, however, was full of vigor and morale! Anyone who offends Idar will be punished no matter how far away they are!
Let the Odins have a new father!
The call that Count Bruno Stuart of Idar made to the soldiers of Idar before the war began still lingered in the soldiers' ears.
The pride and self-esteem of being Idar people made the soldiers of Idar County unable to tolerate the provocation from the Odin Empire.
so……
"kill!"
Sarah Colen, who was skilled in martial arts, was finally able to mount her horse at this moment and lead the Idar cavalry to charge forward!
Sarah Coren had no say in command matters, and it was not his turn to help in the artillery unit, which made his 90-meter-long machete thirsty for a long time!
"kill--"
Under the leadership of Sarah Colen, the Idar cavalry finally crossed the defense line formed by the Idar infantry and rushed towards the retreating Odin army.
In fact, compared with the powerful Odin's cavalry, except for the lack of advantage in numbers, the Idar cavalry is not much weaker than the Odin's cavalry.
After all, the application of the three great cavalry artifacts in the Idar cavalry and the introduction of a series of standard weapons have long transformed the Idar cavalry. Even with the help of stirrups, they can exert greater strength when chopping.
Behind the Idar cavalry came the Idar infantry, who were pushing the tortoise-shell chariots slowly forward.
The tortoise chariot's movement speed was indeed not fast, but Sam Layton had always been worried that Odin's army would turn around and counterattack at the last moment, fighting to the death. Therefore, moving slowly forward while surrounded by the tortoise chariots was obviously the safest approach at the moment.
The soldiers he commanded were almost all of Idar's soldiers, so there couldn't be any mistakes! What's more...
Sam Layton was not worried that Odin's army would escape, because the three-masted warships under Mal Karen and the employees of the Idar Whaling Company had been ready on the banks of the Eider River, cutting off Odin's retreat.
Although there was no guarantee that some would escape and cross the river, Sam Layton had never thought that he could keep all of Odin's troops. As long as he could keep a large part of them, it would be a huge victory! As for the news leaking out... let it leak out! Today, the strength of Idal Lord no longer needs to be concealed. As a powerful vassal that can compete with the Odin Empire, if anyone dares to attack Idal Lord, then these Odin soldiers who were beaten and fled in panic are the best examples!
Of course, the most important thing is... Fighting with other nobles will greatly affect Bruno's progress in knocking down wonders! If it weren't for the threat posed by the Odins, which was always the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the Idal people, Bruno's long-planned Hagia Sophia would have appeared on the land of Idal!
Damn Odin!
"Hurry! Shall we go too?!"
Watching the Idar cavalry galloping towards the Odin people, even though they knew that there were considerable risks on the front lines of the war, Dusty Peck, a war correspondent, and the rest of the accompanying staff still mounted their horses and galloped behind the Idar cavalry.
He wanted to obtain first-hand information for the Idar Daily, so that all the people in Idar would know that this was a victory that belonged to all Idar people!
…
For Marshal Odin Portia Mariano, this was an unprecedented humiliation!
Not only had most of his personal guards been killed or injured in the bombardment of the Idar people, but even the Odin sergeants, who originally had more than 13,000 men, also suffered huge losses in this short confrontation.
Moreover...behind them, there were Idar cavalrymen chasing them all the way! Odin's army retreated westward from the Dale Hills, and Idar's army was also chasing them closely.
Since the Idar army was not following closely, Marshal Portia organized several large-scale counterattacks, but the problem was...
As soon as they saw Odin's cavalry turning around and charging towards them, the Idar cavalry would immediately run far away, and then use the magic rifles on their backs to reap the lives of Odin's cavalry!
The reason why Odin's Iron Cavalry is called the Iron Cavalry is more because of their bravery and good fighting skills. Apart from that, they do not have regular armor and uniform weapons, but only brute force.
Therefore, in front of the Idar people's magic rifles, these Odin cavalry could only rely on their own flesh and blood to withstand it! The hasty escape lasted for almost a day. When Marshal Portia finally arrived at the Eider River with great expectations, he could not help but freeze in place.
Two unprecedentedly huge ships were anchored proudly in the spacious Eider River, and what made Marshal Portia's heart tremble the most was the flag hanging on the top of the mast! Idar people!
At this moment, Marshal Portia finally understood why the Idar people did not set up defenses on the banks of the Eider River, because... they wanted to swallow up the tens of thousands of Odin soldiers led by him in one gulp.
"fire!"
Looking at the Odin soldiers who gradually stopped at the banks of the Eider River, Admiral Mal Karen sneered.
In his opinion, the thunderous artillery fire was the best greeting to the Odin people! In fact, at the beginning, Bruno had thought of sending Mal Karen to attack the coastal towns of the Odin Empire, but this idea was quickly rejected by Bruno himself.
Because of the snail-like speed of information transmission in that era, even if Mal Karen had achieved considerable results in the rear of the Odin people, it would probably take a long time for the news to reach the military tent of Odin's monarch Areo O'Sullivan.
However, this was of no real help to the Idar Lords fighting on the front lines.
Therefore, cutting off the retreat of Odin's people at the banks of the Eider River is the new mission that Mal Karen has to carry out.
The magic cannon mounted on the three-masted warship and the roar that echoed in the ears of Odin's soldiers once again pulled the fleeing Odin people back into the fear of being dominated by artillery fire.
Chaos, screaming, struggling...
Marshal Portia looked at the Odin soldiers who were already in disarray in front of him, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
These soldiers running away in all directions...
Or are they the brave and skilled soldiers of Odin who followed him to fight everywhere? "Cross the river! Cross the river! Get out of here!"
The generals led by Odin had already suffered heavy casualties in the battle. Marshal Portia could only rely on his roar to get the soldiers of the Odin Empire to leave as soon as possible.
but,
No matter how hard he tries...
The voice of this veteran was eventually drowned out by the endless gunfire of the Idar people...
I've finally finished it. I'll try to start knocking out new wonders tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest!
