Chapter 136: Garrison Station

After annihilating the rebel cavalry, Richard immediately asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and sent a messenger to the City of Victory to inform Duke Roger who was besieging the city.

This battle annihilated more than a hundred rebel cavalry, and the casualties were minimal.

The soldiers killed the fallen warhorses, peeled off the horse skins, removed the fat, cleaned them, sprinkled a handful of salt evenly, and then rolled them up. The horse meat was taken away and eaten in the evening.

The heads of the rebel professionals were cut off and they could ask for credit from Duke Roger.

After defeating a small group of rebels, Richard asked the soldiers to rest in the village for a day and march to the City of Victory the next day.

Halfway through the journey, Richard received an order from Duke Roger.

Duke Roger ordered Richard not to rush to join the City of Victory, but to join forces with Baron Dejan, obey Baron Dejan's command, protect the food route, and eliminate the rebel cavalry cruising outside.

Baron Deyang is a general under Duke Roger, the captain of the Warcraft Cavalry Regiment, and a fifth-level knight, commanding 120 Warcraft Cavalry.

Although the 120 Warcraft Cavalry are very powerful, they need to protect a 100-kilometer grain route.

The small number of Warcraft Cavalry is a bit overwhelmed.

Richard led the soldiers and walked 20 kilometers north to a grain station and met Baron Deyang.

"My opinion is to concentrate the cavalry. I will lead the cavalry to chase the rebels, and Baron Richard will lead the infantry to guard the grain station.

"Who is responsible for escorting the grain?"

"We don't need to worry about this matter. Duke Roger has communicated with the Knight Academy of Grant Kingdom. The Knight Academy will form a temporary cavalry regiment to be responsible for escorting the grain along the way. "

Richard knew that the Knight Academy of the Kingdom of Grant could be urgently mobilized in a state of war to form a powerful cavalry.

Although the Knight Academy Cavalry Regiment was not a Warcraft cavalry, its combat effectiveness was very strong.

The dozens of professionals in the Knight Academy, plus hundreds of students who had been trained for many years, had a real combat effectiveness that was much stronger than the Warcraft cavalry commanded by Richard.

The reason why Duke Roger transferred Richard to Canyon County to quell the rebellion was to deal with this cavalry that was roaming outside and harassing the grain route.

But the Duke obviously made preparations for both situations and communicated with the top management of the Grant Knight Academy.

After the Knight Academy Cavalry Regiment was mobilized to the south, the importance of the noble coalition commanded by Richard declined a lot.

Richard knew that after the Grant Kingdom Knight Academy was mobilized to participate in the war, Duke Roger no longer wanted Richard to lead the noble coalition to the City of Victory.

Duke Roger obviously wanted to enjoy the honor of conquering the City of Victory alone.

He also planned to leave a share of the military merit to the Knights Academy.

The noble coalition commanded by Richard has now been used by the Duke as a weak soldier.

The Academy Cavalry Regiment joined the war to quell the rebellion, and the tasks of Richard and Baron Deyang were immediately made easier.

After the two sides divided their forces at the military station, Baron Deyang led the cavalry to pursue the rebels, and Richard led four squadrons of infantry to garrison at the grain storage station.

The grain storage station is located between the Knights Academy and the City of Victory. 30 kilometers to the north is the Grant Kingdom Knights Academy, and 50 kilometers to the south is the City of Victory.

Along the way, the Knights Academy Cavalry Regiment escorted a large amount of food and grass, and Baron Deyang followed closely with the Warcraft Cavalry.

The rebel cavalry fighters are getting fewer and fewer, and the space for activities is getting smaller and smaller.

As if being put on a noose, as the noose tightens, the rebels The fate of the cavalry is also doomed, and they are about to be hanged on the noose.

The only way to get out of this is to defeat the pursuing monster cavalry, or defeat the Knight Academy cavalry regiment escorting food and fodder, or defeat the noble coalition commanded by Richard and destroy the grain storage station.

These three are hard bones, and none of them is easy to chew.

If you can't chew it, not only will your front teeth be broken immediately, but you may also be caught by the tail and fall into the main force decisive battle that is most unfavorable to the rebels.

When fighting at a disadvantage, sometimes you have to defeat the strong with the weak to break the deadlock.

The rebel cavalry has been forced into a corner. In desperation, they can only choose to attack the military station.

After all, no matter how you look at it, it is more likely to win against the infantry commanded by Richard.

Just after the afternoon, more than a thousand rebel cavalry appeared near the military station.

Because they were followed by the monster cavalry commanded by Baron Deyang Beast cavalry, the rebels don't have enough time.

If they can't capture the military station in two hours, Baron Dejan will arrive nearby.

This battle is already a one-shot deal. If they can't break through the military station in one go, the rebels will be defeated.

The military station was built very solidly. The food was stored in the military station warehouse. The outside of the warehouse was all stone walls, and the roof was covered with mud. If you want to burn the food, you must attack the inside of the military station and set it on fire.

A trench was dug outside the military station. The trench was six meters wide and three meters deep. The river water was introduced to form a moat surrounding the military station.

The suspension bridge on the moat was very narrow and not suitable for cavalry charge.

Seeing the rebels surrounding him, Richard directly asked the soldiers to fire rockets and burn the suspension bridge.

Seeing Richard burn the suspension bridge very decisively, the rebel commander felt nervous and felt that the chance of winning was reduced a few points.

Because Richard reacted quickly, the surprise attack lost its suddenness. The war had developed to this point, and only human lives could be used.

There was not enough time to make the drawbridge, and the military station had to be attacked.

The rebel commander thought for a moment, and commanded the soldiers with a sullen face, because there was no time to take soil to fill the trench. The rebels could only kill the war horses and let the dead war horses fill the moat.

More than 200 war horses were killed by the rebels and abandoned in the moat, filling a gap of more than 20 meters wide, opening the passage to attack the camp.

War horses are the second life of cavalrymen. The relationship with cavalrymen is very deep.

Now that they had no choice but to kill the warhorse, the rebel cavalry was furious and wanted to chop the defenders in the military station into meat paste to vent their hatred.

The first echelon stepped on the horse corpses and just crossed the moat, and a rain of arrows immediately shot over.

There were 1,200 defenders in the camp, and more than 500 or 600 veterans. These veterans were already very good at archery, and the rain of arrows they shot was amazingly lethal.

In just a few rounds of rain of arrows, the rebel vanguard had suffered more than a hundred casualties.

Seeing that the vanguard was not fighting well, the rebel commander was ruthless and immediately distributed a hundred boiling blood potions to the weakest cavalry squadron.

The boiling blood potion had great side effects. After taking it, the physical fitness of those who survived was greatly reduced, almost equivalent to a useless person.

The cult organization of the Bloody Horn generally used it as cannon fodder for converts.

Cavalry training was not easy. The Bloody Horn had only trained a few thousand people in the past ten years.

These people were elites and would not be easily allowed to take the boiling blood potion.

But now is a matter of life and death, the rebel commander gave the only 100 boiling blood potions in his hand to his soldiers.

He hopes to use the powerful explosive power of the boiling blood converts to defeat the defenders in one wave.

After breaking through the military station and burning the food and grass, this rebel cavalry can still play a role.

If the military station cannot be broken, when Duke Roger captures the Victory City, the cavalry cruising outside will also be doomed to failure.
