My subjects are too rebellious!
Chapter 406 Ostrogoth
"Then, when will they launch the attack?" Han Xin continued to ask, his tone becoming serious.
The prisoner thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know the exact date, but the king's order is to act as soon as possible and take over this land in one fell swoop before the Golden Horde recovers."
"You stay here for now. I'll send someone to take good care of you."
Han Xin said to the prisoner, then turned and left the cell, with a plan in mind.
At this time, the Gothic Kingdom occupied the entire Eastern European region. Due to internal disputes over time, the Gothic Kingdom was divided into the Ostrogoths and Visigoths.
This time, it was the Goths in the east who wanted to attack the Golden Horde.
........
Facing the impending threat, passive defense is by no means the best strategy. Only by taking the initiative can the ambitions of the Gothic Kingdom be completely eliminated.
So Han Xin quickly summoned his generals and announced the decision to launch an attack on the Gothic Kingdom.
At this time, Han Xin had at his disposal an army of 200,000 Snow Dragon Cavalry.
Qin Chuan already had a large number of troops available for deployment within the Wu Dynasty, so he handed over all the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry to Han Xin.
The purpose is to be prepared.
With Han Xin's order, an army of 200,000 set out on the journey in a mighty manner.
.......
The Ostrogothic army was known as the most heavily armored army in Europe at the time, and they were famous for their impregnable defense.
The entire army was equipped with Gothic knight armor armed to the teeth.
However, the joints and shoulder armor were not covered with iron sheets, which allowed the Goths to have extremely high defense while also having a lot of room for movement of their limbs. Wearing armor and holding long swords, they ruled Eastern Europe for more than a hundred years.
The Gothic knights stand on the battlefield like living sculptures. These knights are tall and strong, wearing heavy armor. Each piece of armor is carefully crafted and shines with a cold metallic luster.
The main part of the armor is forged from hard wrought iron, with complex patterns carved on the surface, including emblems of family honor and runes praying for divine protection.
The head of the Gothic knight is covered by a huge helmet. The styles of the helmets vary. Some are like eagles with spread wings, while others are like roaring lions. All of them demonstrate the knight's bravery.
The top of the helmet is often decorated with sharp iron spikes or gorgeous feathers, which not only enhances the protection capability but also adds a bit of majesty.
Their eyes looked at the big snow dragon rider in the distance through the narrow slits in their helmets.
Although the joints of the armor are not completely covered by iron sheets, protective gear is cleverly designed to allow the knights to maintain high defense while also having excellent flexibility and mobility.
Their hands were tightly gripped with swords or battle axes, ready to strike.
Their king stood in front of them, staring at the great snow dragon rider in the distance in silence.
...
The snowy area is vast and covered in silver. In the heavy snow, the Snow Dragon Riders stand quietly in the cold wind, like a group of giant beasts from the ice field, ready to go.
Their figures blend into the surrounding environment, yet stand out against the white snow.
Each Great Snow Dragon Rider was clad in a thick white robe embroidered with delicate dragon patterns. As the cold wind blew, it seemed as if the faint sound of dragon roars echoed in the air.
Their helmets were inlaid with sparkling ice crystals, and their eye sockets revealed two sharp eyes like hawks, looking straight ahead, gazing at the Gothic knights who were also on high alert not far away.
The Great Snow Dragon Riders remained silent, waiting for that moment to come.
The Great Snow Dragon Riders are world-famous for their outstanding archery skills and super high cavalry mobility. They can accurately shoot the enemy on galloping horseback while maintaining their mobility and flexibility.
This allows them to quickly enter or exit combat on the battlefield.
You can even suddenly change your position during a fight and attack the enemy's weakest point.
The weapon used by the Great Snow Dragon Riders is the hyperbolic compound bow.
Someone once commented on it like this: "Therefore, it can penetrate armor and no one can resist it."
......
On one side was the strongest defense in Europe, on the other the most powerful attack.
And now is the time to test the combat effectiveness of both sides.
The winner survives and the loser dies!
War is imminent!
......
The charge of the Ostrogothic knights broke the tranquility on the snowy field in the early morning light.
The leading knight was wearing black iron armor, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes. He raised his sword high and shouted a battle cry.
However, the Great Snow Dragon Riders did not give them a chance to engage in a head-on confrontation.
As a low horn sounded, the knights of the Great Snow Dragon Riders quickly adjusted their formation, split into small groups, and dispersed in small teams.
Each knight rode a tall and strong warhorse, turning on the snow with amazing agility.
As the Gothic cavalry approached, the archers of the Great Snow Dragon Riders were ready.
They sat firmly on the saddles, holding longbows tightly in both hands, arrows on the strings, and stared at the enemies ahead.
With the order, countless arrows shot out like arrows from a bow, cutting through the air and flying towards the Gothic cavalry with a biting cold wind.
These arrows drew graceful arcs in the air, accurately hitting the armor, horses and even helmets of the Gothic cavalry.
Although the Gothic knights' armor was thick and strong, it was inevitably damaged under such a dense rain of arrows.
What was even more deadly was that some arrows penetrated the gaps in the armor and shot directly into the knights' bodies, causing fatal injuries.
The Gothic cavalry fell off their horses one after another under the rain of arrows.
Their horses neighed in pain and kicked their hooves wildly, making a mess of the snow.
The knights fell to the ground, struggling in pain, and their blood dyed the snow red.
The Snow Dragon Riders did not stop because of this. They continued to ride fast on their horses, moving in a roundabout way while constantly shooting arrows and launching continuous attacks on the Gothic cavalry.
This resulted in the Gothic cavalry being stopped halfway before they even encountered the snow dragon cavalry.
The Ostrogothic leader witnessed the defeat of the previous group of cavalry, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
He quickly adjusted his tactics and sent out a small number of elite cavalry again, intending to consume the physical strength of the Great Snow Dragon Horsemen through continuous harassment and wait for the right time to launch a fatal blow.
Under the order of their leader, these cavalrymen pounced on the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry's formation again like a pack of wolves.
However, the riders of the Great Snow Dragon Riders did not show any signs of panic.
Because each cavalryman of the Great Snow Dragon Riders is equipped with multiple war horses.
These war horses are also strong and sturdy, with shiny fur, and have obviously been carefully selected and trained.
The knights of the Great Snow Dragon Riders skillfully changed to new horses and continued to gallop on the snow.
