Chapter 208 Lightning Attack Speed
The sky was getting bright, and the smell of alcohol in the barracks hadn't dissipated. The gentlemen were snoring in the tent with their arms around a woman who was as red as themselves.

The sound of horns sounded in the barracks, and became the accompaniment of grunting in the tents.

Some soldiers gathered around the pot, finished a bowl of musty oatmeal, and then yawned and swore to go to the changing of the guard.

The back gate of the barracks was in a mess. A carriage that was bringing food overturned while passing the drawbridge, and the sausages in the barrels spilled into the waist-deep ditch.

The guard at the gate jumped down the ditch, picked up the sausage without saying a word, gnawed it, and stuffed it inside his clothes.

The people who came to change shifts followed suit when they saw each other, and soon even those on the guard tower next to them joined the ranks of snatching the sausages, and soon became a ball.

The loose sausage was gone quickly, but someone let more loose.

A knight rushed over, angrily whipped the soldiers with a horsewhip, and said cursingly: "A bunch of rats, haven't you eaten sausages in your life?!"

One soldier looked up and said, "We've had moldy oatmeal for so long!"

The knight raised his whip and dropped it, and a deep groove of blood was drawn on the soldier's face.

Just as the knight raised the whip in his hand again and was about to drop it, he suddenly froze there.

"Enemy...enemy attack!"

Under the early morning sun, a black wave rushed out of the forest one kilometer away, rushing towards the barracks with the sound of thunderous hooves.

No one in the coalition army could have imagined that the hussars of the Piast Kingdom actually bypassed the trenches and obstacles on the eastern defense line and came out from the forest behind.

There are a pair of erect wings behind these cavalry, and a magic circle is engraved on each metal feather, allowing them to use different magic in battle.

At this moment, there is a metal feather on the wings behind each knight that reflects distorted light around it. This is the unique weight reduction magic of King Piast's royal family. It can reduce the load on the knights on the horses, so that the horses can use all their strength. gallop.

The distance of one kilometer is very short for the hussars, and they approached the wall of the barracks in a short while.

A sound of eagles came from the sky, and several giant eagles with a wingspan of more than 20 meters descended from the sky and sprinted towards the wall.

They suddenly flattened at a distance of more than ten meters from the ground, their bodies straightened up, and their wings blasted gusts of wind blades towards the wall.

Under the wind blade, the three-meter-high wooden fence was like water tofu met with a steel knife, and a large gap was quickly cut.

Thousands of winged cavalry crossed the trench, rushed into the barracks without hindrance, and immediately dispersed in groups of dozens of people.

Countless tents were knocked down and trampled, and the horseshoes were soon dyed red.

The coalition soldiers ran around like headless chickens, and finally fell under the saber.

Someone tried to organize a resistance, but was immediately caught by the giant eagle descending from the sky, carried to the sky with screams, and then fell freely.

There are more than a dozen hussars with a clear goal, which is to attack the tents where the noble lords are.

These people were all highly skilled in martial arts and took the lead. The nobles were quickly targeted and eliminated, and the command system of the entire coalition army completely collapsed in less than half an hour.

On the front of the barracks, the colorful flags were like a sea of ​​flowers. Tens of thousands of infantry marched slowly in formation, crossed the trenches, moved and refused horses, broke through the walls, and joined the massacre.

On a mountain two kilometers south of the military camp, people's noses could still distinguish the bloody smell in the north wind, which attracted many wild animals to drive here.

A middle-aged man in his 40s stood quietly on the top of the mountain and looked at the killing field in the distance. He turned his head and saw that the giant eagle had already flown into the city of Burling.

"Principal, let's go." Baron Wesson said to the middle-aged man, "Even someone like me, who has never failed an exam, can tell that it's all over."

Gerhard sighed deeply, and said with some self-reproach: "I have clearly reminded them, if I persist... oh..."

Baron Wesson shook his head and said with a wry smile, "You still don't know what kind of people we are. If you listened to my advice, you would have already scored full marks in all your homework."

Gerhard sighed again. There were quite a few of his former students in the barracks to the north, and probably none of them would remain after today.

"Wesson," he asked the student who had fought with him before, "Is Duke Wesson a man who can be persuaded?"

Baron Wesson thought for a while, then shook his head and replied, "I don't know. If you want to persuade him, you have to find out that he has done something wrong. But I think what he said is very reasonable. He is the one who persuades others."

"However, when he took the time to attend class, he made mistakes and was often beaten, and he didn't complain."

Gerhard thought for a while, then glanced at the barracks that started to emit thick smoke, turned around and said, "Let's go, it will be too late if we don't go."

There was a large team parked behind the mountain. The carriage was full of various boxes and packages, and children and women were sitting on the luggage.

Many people are fully armed and riding horses. They are teachers and students of the military academy, waiting for the principal to return.

These people looked curiously at the surrounding cavalry in gray barracks, and the unicorns ridden by two master knights.

Frederick was a little worried, so he sent a company of guard cavalry and a company of magicians for protection.

The convoy set off, and the news quickly reached Frederick, who was [-] kilometers away.

When he learned that the war had begun, he immediately sent two other cavalry to connect.

The slaughter on the battlefield continued, and at noon, all the prisoners of war were handed over to the smiling slave traders in strings of ten.

When the Piast army appeared outside the city of Burling, the city lord expressed his choice to surrender to the two envoys who arrived on the giant eagle.

In the largest tent in the Piast Army, with the help of his attendants, Casimir took off his wings, half body armor, and chain mail covering his whole body, and finally took off all his sweaty inner clothing.

When the adjutant brought the news of Burling City's surrender, several female slaves were carefully wiping his body.

Kasimir said calmly: "Let them provide food, gold coins, and women. Tell the others, as previously agreed, go to Hanma City, which is richer, and give them a ten-day holiday. Send someone to tell Danma Kingdom, we broke through Burling City as planned and let them dispatch."

The adjutant bowed and left after bowing, and after a while there were complaints from outside.

Whether it is the nobles, soldiers, and conscripted farmers of the Piast army, or the Ante allies and mercenaries from the east, everyone is looking forward to entering the city to loot.

As for Hanma City, few people have been there.

But Kasimir didn't want to waste time, so he could only draw a big cake for them, and then stabilize them with the things handed over by Burling City.

On the same day, 6 troops of the Southern Army of the Piast Kingdom suddenly appeared in the upper reaches of the Elbe River at the same time. They separated out 10 teams of two thousand troops and took advantage of the emptiness of the defenses to capture those important towns.

The 4 main force of the Southern Army went straight to Lime Tree City, more than 100 kilometers away, and sneaked into and occupied this important city that night. After leaving 5000 people to defend, the large force went north to capture other places and prepared to join the Northern Army. .

On the second day, the Northern Army had 10 troops, leaving 1 people to garrison Burling City, and the remaining 2 people also dispersed to occupy important towns in the surrounding areas as quickly as possible.

For a time, the entire east bank of the Elbe River was full of wars, and the local lords and main forces were destroyed in one battle. The Piast army moved extremely quickly, and soon occupied a large area.

People who got the news packed up their things and fled. Numerous refugees dragged their families and flocked westward to the Elbe River, trying to cross the river for safety.

Casimir snatched all the pack animals and carriages along the way, marched faster than the refugees along the road leading to Hanma City, and faced Wessen across the river on November 11.

On November 11, the 3 troops of the Southern Army joined the Northern Army with the ships collected along the way, and the number of the entire Piast Army reached 3.

In the early morning of November 11, the Piast army crossed the Elbe from the pontoon bridge of the three ferries and entered the deserted Wessenland.

卡西米尔指挥皮亚斯特军队从10月21日渡过奥得拉河、22日攻占伯尔灵城开始，只用了15天就消灭6万人并占领了奥得拉河以西到易北河以东300公里范围内的大量地区，这个消息一传开便天下震惊。

The world called this war the "Lightning Battle" because Casimir commanded the army to move as fast as lightning in this battle, and a new star was rising.

On the same day that the Piast army crossed the Elbe River, 6 troops from the Kingdom of Danma appeared outside the east city of Hanma City, looking at the bastion in bewilderment.
