The north wind roared, and the heavy snow on the northern ice field fell again one after another.

However, no amount of snow can stop this battle from continuing.

Nine days have passed since the Black Cavalry began to harass the "tortoise shell" of the main force of the trolls.

For nine days, the fifty thousand Black Cavalry were divided into three groups, taking turns in battle, and implemented harassment tactics against the troll army.

In these nine days, the troll army has only traveled less than fifty kilometers.

At this speed like a tortoise, this army of trolls doesn't know when it will return to their territory located in the northern half of the Northern Ice Field.

Moreover, in this short fifty-kilometer journey, they have left over 30,000 bodies.

Perhaps such a number of casualties does not seem to be a serious injury to an army of more than 200,000.

However, this kind of pressure that can't see the hope of escape is destroying the fragile nerves of the troll soldiers every day, pushing them to the edge of the collapsing cliff.

And the army formation of the troll army, under this continuous harassment, began to expose more and more flaws.

However, the Black Cavalry still did not launch a general offensive.

They are like an experienced and cruel hunter, constantly making small wounds on their prey, watching it bleed, struggle, and become weak...

The Marquis of Garcia was patient.

Colin is also very patient.

In fact, Colin even hoped that the trolls could hold on for a longer period of time.

Because, following Marquis Garcia during this time, he did learn a lot about cavalry warfare.

These things can't be learned from military books or battle examples in romance novels.

It is not even comparable to the military education of the Angele family.

In Colin's memory, the family's military education was almost all about infantry combat knowledge.

There is no way, the Angele family can't afford the cavalry.

But now, after seeing the terrifying power of the Black Cavalry, Colin could not help but want to smash the pot and sell iron to create his own unit of cavalry.

Once this kind of thought occurred, it was deeply rooted in Colin's mind.

In order to better experience the way of cavalry fighting, after getting permission from the Marquis of Garcia, Colin personally participated in several Black Cavalry harassment operations.

Although there are no detailed statistics, Colin estimated that there should be 30 or 40 troll soldiers shot by him.

He didn't remember this military merit, after all, Marquis Garcia was not his lord, and he could not be rewarded by Marquis Garcia no matter how he performed.

However, Colin felt that what he was currently learning with Marquis Garcia was actually something more precious than money, territory, and even title.

He didn't even understand why the Marquis had to look at himself so differently.

However, he will never let go of this excellent learning opportunity.

"Master Marquis, can the size of each team of cavalry be larger during the harassment operation?"

Yes, when Colin found the right time, he started asking for advice again.

The Marquis of Garcia has long been accustomed to this: "The key to determining the scale of the cavalry team is to grasp the balance between maneuverability and aggressiveness.

The size of the cavalry team is too small, and the mobility is naturally excellent, but the offensiveness is poor.

However, it is not that the larger the cavalry team sent, the better.

Once the cavalry has surpassed 10,000, the commander must be extremely careful. The military orders must not be complicated, let alone change too much, because once the military order is changed on the spot, it will cause confusion.

Therefore, the general cavalry team controls one thousand to three thousand

On this scale, mobility and aggression are considered to be well-balanced.

As for the specific deployment, it must be decided on the spot based on factors such as the combat objective and the enemy's state. "

Colin nodded constantly.

At this time it was approaching noon, and the Black Cavalry soldiers who had gone out to harass and fight in the morning had already returned to camp one after another.

But Colin was still keenly aware that this morning's half-day harassment operation ended slightly early.

Originally, he didn't care too much, after all, after so many days of continuous combat, even the hard-fought soldiers of the Black Cavalry could show a little fatigue.

However, afterwards, the more and more solemn atmosphere in the camp still made Colin aware of something.

After hurriedly stuffing some food, and drinking some blood to replenish his strength, Colin went to the tent of the Marquis of Garcia.

The guards outside the tent did not stop him, they were already familiar with the son of the baron who was valued by Marquis Garcia.

"Master Marquis, are you going to prepare for a decisive battle?" Colin looked at Marquis Garcia, who was wearing his armor with the help of his followers, and asked with some excitement.

Marquis Garcia smiled slightly: "Well, it's almost time."

After speaking, he walked out of the tent.

Colin hurriedly followed.

Outside the tent, the soldiers of the Black Cavalry have already begun to make pre-war preparations.

Moreover, Colin noticed that the group of soldiers who participated in the harassment in the morning was also making preparations now.

In addition, there had been three thousand heavy armored cavalrymen who had not been participating in the harassment battle before, but at this time they were finally wearing heavy armor, ready to go.

This heavy-armored cavalry in full body armor, like steel monsters, exuded a terrifying aura of fear and the ultimate desire for killing.

They have been waiting for too long, they are already hungry and thirsty!

In fact, the heavy armored cavalry has always been controversial, because its advantages and shortcomings are equally prominent.

Expensive, cumbersome, and has few applicable scenarios... However, none of these shortcomings can conceal the biggest advantage of the heavy cavalry - that is, the extremely terrifying impact!

Therefore, the heavy cavalry has become the best weapon to break through the infantry phalanx.

At this moment of the decisive battle, Marquis Garcia finally sacrificed the big killer among the Black Cavalry - three thousand heavy cavalries!

However, when Colin was excited, he was surprised to find that the Marquis of Garcia had also put on full body armor, holding a lance, and came to the forefront of the heavy cavalry phalanx.

"You, are you going to lead the battle personally?"

"Certainly."

The natural appearance of the Marquis of Garcia made Colin a little astonished. He really didn't understand why, as the supreme commander of the Black Cavalry, the Marquis of Garcia had to take risks personally.

You must know that the heavy armored cavalry that hit the infantry phalanx, under the cover of its terrifying attack power, has a terrible casualty rate that people cannot ignore.

Earl Dawson smiled and said to Colin: "Every time the heavy cavalry strikes, Lord Marquis personally leads it."

Just when Colin was surprised and speechless, Marquis Garcia suddenly smiled and asked, "Knight Colin, do you dare to rush with me?"

"Of course!" Colin answered without hesitation, "It's my honor!"

"Good!" Marquis Garcia laughed, "Then you will hold the flag for me!"

"Yes!" Colin immediately stepped forward to take the heavy black lion banner.

The handover standard-bearer heavily patted Colin's chest, making Colin suspicious that the opponent might be jealous of him.

"Woo-"

The horn sounded again.

The killing begins!
