Lord of Riding and Slashing

Chapter 388: The Battle of Crossing the River

After Lehman and Marko converged, Nord led the army to crush it all the way, and it didn't even take half a month to advance to the hinterland of the Seaman Kingdom, which is also the realm of their royal family. This is a region. Was cut off by a big river.

This Surifen River divides the Seaman Kingdom into two. On the other side of the river is the Mamm Plain. The reason why these two plains have such a fertile territory is inseparable from the Surifen River. It is the Surifen River. For irrigation, the Seaman Kingdom will be called the granary on the mainland.

Nord now looks at this river a little bit worried, because the width of the Surifin River can reach fifty meters, and the only wooden bridge on the big river was destroyed by the Seaman Kingdom, it seems that the Seaman Kingdom is iron-hearted Want to delay time.

The capital of the Seaman Kingdom is on the southern bank of the Surifin River, and Nord can even see the shadow of Gilman from the north bank, but Nord can’t cross the river now. Building a bridge across the river is nothing in this era. Simple things, this requires very strong construction capabilities.

It is said that this bridge was built during the Erezin Empire. After that, the Seaman Kingdom was only repaired every year. Now in order to resist Nord’s attack, they actually chose to cut off the bridge. The nobles of the Seaman Kingdom also It can be considered a lot of courage.

Nord certainly has no time to rebuild a wooden bridge now. It will take a long time to build a wooden bridge, and the army of the Seaman Kingdom does not necessarily sit back and watch Nord's stable construction of the bridge, as long as they exclude part of it. If soldiers come to harass, Nord’s construction time may increase indefinitely. Nord’s main problem now is to send 20,000 troops to the other side of the river so quickly.

There is only one way in front of Nord, and that is to make a large number of rafts to cross the river at one time. Fortunately, the water of the Surifen River is very fast. This gives the Nord Army the opportunity to cross the river. When the river was rushing, Nord might really cry at the water, because that would be a moat that the raft could not cross.

However, it is not a simple matter to make a raft capable of carrying 20,000 troops. In particular, Nord must ensure that the troops crossing the river at one time must ensure combat effectiveness, because Nord can see the southern bank of the Surifing River. Some knights of the Seaman Kingdom wandered near the river bank.

Nord knows that if the number of people crossing the river is too small, it is very likely to be attacked by the Seaman Kingdom. It is even possible that when the Nord forces cross the river, the Seaman Kingdom army may choose to attack halfway. Now Nord dare not underestimate the army of the Seaman Kingdom, even if their combat effectiveness is not very strong, but the determination to fight is not less than Nord's army.

For the sake of safety, Nord waited for another five days by the river bank and finally built enough rafts. The rafts built by Nord these few days can send five thousand troops to Surrey at once. Going to the southern bank of the Fen River, Nord believed that with an army of five thousand men, it was enough to resist the army of the Seaman Kingdom.

Looking at the army preparing to cross the river, under Nord’s order, they were crowded on the raft. Many soldiers who took knives and slashed people without blinking, standing on the raft were trembling and their eyes leaked. Fear of the river,

Another important reason why Nord is so cautious is that many of Nord’s troops are dry ducks, which are not water-permeable at all. If they fall into the water while crossing the river, they may really sink to the bottom, even bubbling. arrive.

Sure enough, as Nord guessed, Nord’s actions on the other side were seen by the nobles of the Seaman Kingdom. Although the two sides were separated by a river, Nord’s every move could not be hidden from their eyes, and Nord thought The move to cross the river was still so obvious that the nobles of the Seaman Kingdom could not ignore it.

Just when Nord’s troops just crossed the river, a group of soldiers came from the direction of Gilman City. Nord took a brief look. At least there were tens of thousands of people. Nord’s expression was a little grateful and wanted to do enough by himself. If you are anxious to cross the river and send only one to two thousand people at a time, then it is really very dangerous.

With a width of just fifty meters, Nord’s troops actually took ten minutes. When Nord’s troops were about to cross the river, the soldiers of the Seaman Kingdom next to the river were already standing by, but they did not stand on the bank. The upper block of Nord’s troops landed, because Nord’s long-range troops were gaining momentum on the northern bank of the Surifing River.

   At a distance of fifty meters, Nord’s long-range archer can’t be resisted at all. The reason why Nord was so confident in allowing his troops to cross the river calmly was because there were long-range troops behind him escorting him. Obviously, the Seaman Kingdom also discovered this. They were not within 300 meters of the river bank.

Instead, it waited until Nord’s vanguard troops set foot on the river bank before they began to charge towards the river bank. As long as the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat, Nord’s long-range troops would not have much effect. The second batch of soldiers had not yet arrived. By the time of the South Bank, the first soldiers to land had already fought against the enemies of the Seaman Kingdom.

Nord was still a little anxious. The Seaman Kingdom was clearly prepared. When Nord saw that these soldiers could maintain an effective formation while charging, he knew that the soldiers on the southern bank of the Surifing River would be tested. Here, these soldiers are not the soldiers temporarily recruited by the nobles before, they may be the elite soldiers mobilized by the King Seaman during this period.

No matter how anxious Nord’s heart is, it can’t change the fact that the raft drifting in the water is so slow, and it’s at least twenty minutes before the next group of soldiers arrive on the south bank. That is, during this period of time, the first group of soldiers who arrived at the river bank had to resist twice as many enemies as they did.

The troops looked calmly at the soldiers of the two armies fighting on the riverbank. From Nord’s perspective, they didn’t know what the situation on the riverbank battlefield was like, but Nord believed that his troops would not be defeated so easily, even in the face. The same is true for doubled enemies.

The soldiers sent by the Seaman Kingdom are elite, but the soldiers of Nord are not bad at all, even more elite than them. Although the number of soldiers on the other side of the river is not as good as the soldiers of the Seaman Kingdom, they are far in quality. Far surpass them.

Especially in the battle for more than a month after entering the Kingdom of Seaman, the soldiers of Nord’s troops have been greatly improved. Although every battle of Nord’s troops was very difficult during this period, but during this period of time, Nord’s troops have been very difficult. The improvement of the army's combat effectiveness is also very obvious, the more you practice, the more you gain.

Nord is very aware of how much his troops have improved during this time. The tenacious Seaman soldiers are like a whetstone. The sword of Nord Nord’s troops is sharpened, and now it’s time for the sword to be out of its sheath. The time has come.

Nord believes that his troops will teach the soldiers of the Seaman Kingdom a lesson. It is not a wise move to fight against Nord’s troops in the wild, even if they have the advantage of numbers. They are the ones who fight behind the walls. The only choice.
