The 3rd division was a full cavalry division, and their speed was very fast. However, in order to take care of the 3,000 barbarian infantrymen behind them, and to not consume too much of the horses 'stamina, the entire army deliberately slowed down. Even so, after marching through the night, Arthur's 23000 soldiers arrived at the outskirts of Bern City before dawn.
There was a dense forest on the southeast side of Bern City, which was just enough for Arthur's soldiers to hide. He planned to launch a surprise attack at dawn, when they were the most tired, and break through Darcy's camp under Bern City in one go. After attacking the city repeatedly, their forces had been greatly damaged. The two exhausted Regiments were caught off guard, so it was not difficult to take them down. If possible, they could even join forces with the defenders in the city to take down the other Dasi Regiments that had come to support them. The loss of more than 60,000 people was enough to make the Dasi Kingdom suffer.
"Quick, speed up and reach the dense forest by the time the sky turns dark!!”
"Hurry up and rest when we get there!!”
Arthur kept urging the soldiers. He had deliberately slowed down the march in the first half of the night to save their energy. They could quickly pass through the last ten miles, which would reduce the possibility of being discovered by Darcy's scouts.
The cloth-wrapped hooves made a low sound. The soldiers deliberately tightened the armor on their bodies to prevent the armor from making a sound as they moved. More than 20,000 people quickly and carefully moved toward the designated location under the silent night sky.
"General! Enemy soldiers spotted ahead, unknown number!”
The scouts rode over, and the news they brought shocked Arthur. Why did Darcy's army appear in the south of Bern City? Weren't they attacking the city in the north? Had he been discovered?
"Continue to investigate. We must find out the exact number!”Arthur ordered. It was an emergency. He could only make a judgment after getting the details. Before that, although it was risky to continue moving forward, he did not want to give up such a good opportunity.
"Slow down!" However, to be safe, Arthur slowed down his march so that they would not bump into the enemy.
"Report!"
Soon, the scouts sent another message.
"General, we have discovered an enemy army about five miles ahead. They are all cavalry. The number is unknown, but it definitely won't exceed forty thousand.”The scout reported. In fact, in his opinion, the enemy should not exceed 30,000 people. To be safe, he enlarged the range.
"Got it. Continue to investigate!!”
The intelligence came again. Arthur thought for a moment and recalled the information he had received from the enemy's rear. He immediately made a judgment. There were no more than 40,000 of them, so it should be a division, and all of them were cavalrymen. It was very likely that the Darcy Cavalry in front of them were the cavalry division that had come to support Bern City.
If he was not wrong, they should have wanted to take advantage of the night to go around the back of Bern City and attack the weak point of the city defense. However, they did not expect to be bumped into by Arthur.
It was really the will of the heavens! I'm going to eat you guys up!
"Attention all troops!"
Arthur ordered loudly after informing his subordinates of the situation.
"Cavalry, slow down and maintain your stamina. After two miles, charge at full speed and crush the enemy. After the cavalry accelerated, the Infantry Regiment left and was in charge of killing them!”
The orders were sent down level by level, and the soldiers were ready.
Two miles of road was covered in the blink of an eye. The cavalrymen began to speed up and charge. Arthur was in the lead. Three miles was only a short time for the cavalrymen who were advancing at full speed.
Soon, Arthur saw a large black shadow in front of him.
" Iron Cannon, get ready!!"
" Iron Cannon, get ready!!"
" Arrows, prepare!!"
……
The cavalrymen who were charging forward with all their might began to issue commands. The Darcy Cavalrymen had clearly discovered the enemy, and the black shadows began to panic.
Unfortunately, the cavalrymen who had lost their acceleration range were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Under Arthur's leadership, the cavalry division quickly closed in.
"Release!"
The iron cannons shot out flames, and the Darcy Cavalry were instantly thrown off their horses. The arrows that followed also took a large number of lives.
" Crescent Sky Charge!!"
The sword aura that had already begun to gather turned into a huge crescent moon that was dozens of meters long. It swept across the ground and crashed into the Darcy Cavalry Regiment. The huge crescent flew for hundreds of meters before it gradually dissipated. Along the way, everyone, including the people and horses, was cut into two.
Under the light of the cannon, the ground was littered with broken corpses, making it look like a living hell.
" General, mighty!!"
"Mighty!"
The soldiers of the 3rd division, who had been trained by Aiders to be war maniacs, did not think so. Arthur's direct and bloody massacre had stimulated their bloodthirsty fighting spirit. They roared and charged forward.
The 3rd division was like a sharp knife that pierced into the Darcy cavalry formation. In the dark night, they had already been disrupted by the previous attack and were now heavily injured. How could they still care about counterattacking? The swagger they had when they killed the border guards of the Empire had completely disappeared. They each held their heads and fled like rats, wishing that they could put their legs on the horses under them.
"Calm down!"
"Line up!"
"Retreat and kill the latter!"
The officers of the Darcy Cavalry were still trying in vain to salvage the situation, but when the barbarian warriors behind the 3rd Regiment charged, everything was over.
The tall barbarian warriors could easily slash the warriors on horseback with their broadswords, and countless Darsi cavalrymen were cut in half by the barbarian warriors. Finally, the psychological defense of the Darsi soldiers completely collapsed, and the Darsi Regiment collapsed.
Seeing this, Arthur did not rush to chase after them. Instead, he landed behind Darcy's scattered troops and drove them north like a duck. Darcy's siege troops were encamped there.
Arthur was not satisfied with just wiping out the cavalry. He wanted to use them to break through Darcy's camp and wipe out the three divisions.
At dawn, the Darcy soldiers who were still in their beds were woken up by the sounds of hooves and frightened shouts. As they complained, they walked out of the tent with sleepy eyes to check on the situation.
No one would have thought that the Grim Reaper had already brandished his bloody scythe.
The plan was going smoothly! The scattered cavalrymen who were in a panic broke through their own camp. Arthur led the cavalrymen of the 3rd division and the barbarian infantrymen to easily break into the simple camp that was completely defenseless.
The Darcy soldiers who had yet to wake up were killed in their sleep. The cavalrymen of the 3rd division that easily passed through the camp turned around and charged into the camp again. This repeated, and countless lives were taken. Even the commander-in-chief of the siege, Ulo, was beheaded by Arthur.
The defenders of Bern City also took the opportunity to leave the city and beat up the fallen dogs, using the swords in their hands to vent the hatred they had accumulated over the past few days on Darcy's soldiers.
Under the lead of the Darcy Cavalry, the Darcy Infantry no longer tried to resist and began to retreat. The 3rd Regiment Cavalry chased after them for more than ten miles before Arthur gave the order to ring the bell. Retreat.
In this battle, even though they didn't manage to wipe out all three of Darcy's divisions, their results were impressive. They had wiped out 35,000 enemies and captured 2000. Darcy's 3rd Infantry Division, 10th Infantry Division, and 7th Cavalry Division had all been wiped out, with 70,000 casualties!!
