Chapter 908: Blitzkrieg (Part 3)

293 AD of the Britannia Empire (215 AD of the Holy Hiran Empire)

June 3rd.

Afternoon points.

After Dengar's troops retreated, Nikita had been thinking about what to do next.

After many considerations, Nikita decided that it would be better to continue to hold on and wait for subsequent reinforcements to arrive.

Deng Jiaer's troops took the initiative to retreat, which is certainly a good thing, but the current battle situation is still not optimistic.

The Britannia army, especially the troops commanded by Su Cheng personally, has not suffered any major damage so far.

In other words, the Eastern Route Army of the Britannia Army is still unscathed.

He currently has only 50,000 troops.

No matter how you calculate this amount of troops, they are still too few.

The combat strength under his command must be at least 70,000, so that Nikita can be confident of successfully blocking Su Cheng's eastward advance.

Therefore, Nikita decided to continue to build a camp and wait for the arrival of subsequent reinforcements.

After deciding what actions to take next, the next thing to do is to choose a suitable place to build a position, and then slowly wait for the subsequent troops to arrive.

Nikita spent most of the past two days looking at the map, looking for a suitable place to set up camp.

At this time, Nikita, as he had done in the past two days, stayed in his big tent and silently studied the surrounding terrain and topography.

At this moment, the guard's anxious voice suddenly came from outside the tent:

"Commander! There is a scout asking for an urgent meeting!"

——Scout? !

After hearing the word "scout", Nikita felt a chill in his heart. While putting away the map on the table, he said loudly outside the tent:

"Let him in!"

"yes!"

After the guards guarding the tent opened the curtain of the tent,

A scout who was dusty and sweaty staggered into Nikita's tent.

"Master... coach... Huh... Huh... Ha..."

The scout was very tired, out of breath, and couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

Nikita quickly poured the scout a glass of water.

"Come on, drink."

As soon as the water glass was handed to the scout's eyes, the scout grabbed the glass of water at a very fast speed, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and then poured it into his mouth.

After drinking all the water in the water glass in one gulp and moistening his dry throat that was about to smoke, the scout instantly felt like he was alive.

"Coach, thank you."

After drinking this glass of water, the scout spoke much more smoothly.

After seeing that the scout could finally speak normally, Nikita asked him seriously:

"What happened?"

"Yes." The scout nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "Coach, something serious has happened. Deng Jiaer's troops have made new moves!"

"A cavalry team left the camp and attacked us!"

"Cavalry?!" Nikita exclaimed.

But Nikita quickly regained her composure.

"Tell me all the information you know."

Nikita said solemnly.

"The total strength of the cavalry, the horses each cavalryman brings, and when they will be dispatched... tell me all this information one by one! Don't miss any information!"

"yes!"

The scout swallowed, collected his thoughts, and then informed Nikita of all the information he had discovered so far, regardless of size.

"At this afternoon, a cavalry team left the camp. Judging from the direction they were heading, it is very likely that their goal is here."

"The total strength is about 2,000 people, all of them cavalry, one person and three horses."

"Everyone carries weapons such as spears, swords, crossbows, and shields."

…

After Deng Jiaer's troops retreated, Nikita sent a large number of scouts to monitor the movements of Deng Jiaer's troops.

After seeing a cavalry team of 2,000 people leaving the camp, the scouts hurriedly sent one person - the scout who was currently reporting intelligence to Nikita to use three fast horses to run back.

The horses used by the scouts are all excellent horses with both speed and endurance.

However, even though they were such excellent horses, as the scout ran all the way without hesitation, these three horses were still destroyed by him one after another.

After the scout returned to the camp of their Hiran army, his last horse was also squeezed to the extreme due to its physical strength. After returning to the camp, he foamed at the mouth, twitched his limbs, and fell to the ground.

Even an ordinary person who doesn't know how to treat horses can see that the horse is hopeless.

After reporting all the known information to Nikita, the scout suddenly paused and showed hesitation.

After hesitating for a while, the scout decided to report this seemingly insignificant piece of information to Nikita.

"Coach, this cavalry team that is attacking us is dressed a little strangely."

"Strange?" Nikita asked in confusion, "What kind of strange method?"

"Although they wear black armor like ordinary Britannians, their armor styles are slightly different from ordinary soldiers."

"And - each of them is wearing a dark purple cloak. "

"And judging from the material, the dark purple cloaks they wear seem to be expensive."

"Everyone is wearing dark purple cloaks..." Nikita murmured, frowning.

Nikita's brain was thinking quickly.

Recalling which special force in the Britannia Empire had soldiers wearing dark purple cloaks as exclusive equipment.

Special forces usually have exclusive equipment that ordinary soldiers don't have.

For example, the exclusive equipment of the most famous force of the Frankish Empire, the Ironclad Paladins, is their iconic thick armor and vests.

Another example is the exclusive equipment of the heavy armored troops newly built in the Britannia Empire in recent years, the Ironclad Sharps, which are thick full body armor and axe guns.
