Black Iron Crown

Chapter 321: Compression advance

Rainer marched with the army for seven full days, only then found the location of the Pakuten Department under the leadership of the steppe cavalry.

Such a huge army cannot be hidden from anyone. As soon as they appeared, they were discovered by the rangers arranged by Samuza around the garrison.

After the news arrived, Samuzha immediately brought his guards to see Rainer.

"Earl Rainer, my prince, you are finally here, and the Pakuten Department looks forward to and welcomes you!" Samuzha jumped off his horse and said respectfully to Rainer.

Listening to the interpreter next to him, Reiner said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, I will protect my vassal!"

Letting the troops camp in place, Rainer led a group of vassals into his camp with Samuza.

Lena sat in the main seat, the rest of the vassals also sat on the sheep felt, and Samuzha sat in the starting position of Lena.

Rainer asked straightforwardly: "How is the situation now?"

Samuzha said: "The situation is very tense now. My men and Morsh's men have had several small-scale confrontations. His cavalry is still wandering around in the south, and my cavalry is also constantly fighting with them. Entanglement!"

Rainer raised his eyebrows and said that he was a little surprised at Morsh's slowness. Isn't the nomads known for their fast offensives?

"Small battle? Didn't Morsh assemble all his troops to attack you?" Rainer asked, this is what the other vassals want to know.

"He wants to do this!" Samuzha said, "but he doesn't have the ability. His followers are all split from our Pakuten part, and the number itself is not very large."

"I have consumed some in battles with us. What really makes me unable to deal with is the five thousand cavalry he borrowed from the Agur Ministry!

Samuzha went on to say: "Morsh has promised to provide cattle and sheep to the Agur Ministry every year and surrender in exchange for their support. In order to get everything Morsh promised as soon as possible, they sent 5,000 powerful cavalry. Help him fight!"

"However, these five thousand people are not Morsh's people after all. Last winter, only one thousand cavalry remained in his ranch, and the rest returned to the Agur Department, and now spring has arrived and he wants If you attack me, you have to wait for the cavalry to arrive!"

Rainer nodded after hearing this, and then said: "So...that is to say, the enemy has not yet fully assembled, right?"

"Uh...yes, Lord Earl...but what are you going to do?" Samuzha frowned and was a little puzzled. He didn't think it was a good way to attack the enemy at this time, because both sides are cavalry, even if they win the battle. It is also difficult to produce great results. Now the cavalry on both sides have been entangled for more than ten days. Isn't that the reason?

"If this is the case, let's just raided the enemy's camp directly. After killing your big brother, I believe it will be difficult for an enemy without the backbone to assemble and attack!"

Listening to Reiner’s words, Samuzha said something: "This unworkable Earl, Morsh’s camp is at least 40 kilometers away from me. It’s difficult for us to pass through the enemy’s ranger blockade to reach Morsh’s. Camp!"

"What's more, even if we are not found, they can run away. They only need to block us for a while, and they can ride anywhere on horseback..."

Listening to Samuzha's explanation, Rainer's brows frowned and became silent. In other words, he couldn't do anything now, and could only wait for the opponent's army to gather and fight?

After a pause, Rainer's heart flashed, and he said, "So what? We just marched towards the other side's camp slowly, even if they can escape, we will slowly move forward!"

"If they continue to flee, then we will continue to advance. In any case, we are now the dominant force. If they do not want to fight us, then we will continue to advance. Sooner or later we will advance to the enemy's headquarters!"

"At that time, where their relatives are, it is impossible to continue migrating to the south, and even if the cavalry of the Agur department arrives, their mobile advantage will be lost. They will inevitably give up speed to confront us, because Mo Ersh’s home is right behind him!"

Rainer felt that his plan was not bad, at least it would be able to bring out his powerful infantry combat effectiveness, otherwise, with the hundreds of knights under his command, he would be exhausted sooner or later if he pursued it like this.

What's more, there are still cavalry under Samuzha's command, and when the time comes, they will simply push the enemy into a dead end, not afraid that they will not confront them head-on.

Rainer is still very confident in his ability to resist.

Hearing this, Samuzha hesitated: "But... what if Morsh sneaks on our camp while our main force is away?"

Of course, I don’t worry if Lena’s basic disk is not here, but the remaining more than 40,000 Pakuten tribes are his foundation and lifeblood. He can't bear any risk.

Rainer smiled and waved a big hand and said, "Your tribe will advance with us, and it just happens to be able to solve the logistics problem, otherwise you can't worry about it!"

"How about my plan?" Rainer asked, turning his gaze to the other vassals.

"Uh... it's a good way..."

"Hey... we support you unconditionally, Lord Earl!"

"We have no objection..."

Even if these vassals were persuaded by Rainer, they still didn't have much hope for this war. It was only because Rainer was their prince that they were willing to take the army with Rainer on the expedition.

"Very good! Let's take action today!"

Rainer said to Samuza: "Order your people to prepare to move! Today we will advance ten kilometers!"

At this time, the other side ~lightnovelpub.net~ Morsh looked at the soldiers in front of him with a solemn expression in his tent, and asked: "You mean, what is the name of the Earl of Reiner in Samuza? Jun has brought someone here?"

"Yes, King Morsh, they have about four to five thousand people, and we found that the tribe of the pseudo-king Samuzha seems to be preparing to migrate!" This soldier told Morsh everything he saw. .

"His reinforcements have arrived but they have to migrate... What the heck is Samuza doing?" Morsh waved his hand to signal the soldier to retreat, then squinted his eyes and thought secretly.

An hour later, another soldier reentered Morsh’s tent and said in a panic: “King Morsh, the enemy is approaching us. They have more than 4,000 infantrymen and more than 1,000 cavalry. There are cavalry of the pseudo-king Samuzha, and his people are also close together!"

Morsh frowned tighter when he heard this: "What the **** is he doing?"

He couldn't understand the meaning of such behavior at all, but he knew that there must be a deep meaning in it.
