Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 371: Sentinel tactics

Chapter 371 outpost strategy

"Attention! The grass is here! Ballista is up! Ready to fight!"

This is a very common hilltop in the southern province, but a tall stone sentry tower has been built on the top of the hill. The sentry tower is surrounded by ditches of different shades within a hundred meters, and some of them are piled up behind A half-height earthen wall, and some wooden trenches placed a long wooden refuge in the back of the trench. If you want to reach the sentry tower, you have to walk around these trenches for a long time before you can reach the thick wooden gate under the sentry tower. . The sentry tower is small and can only accommodate up to a hundred people. However, such sentry towers can be seen everywhere in the western part of the southern province. One sentry tower has formed a net, covering half of the southern province, and gradually spreading towards the east.

Nearly a thousand dressed in rude leather armor, with shaved hair and various colorful grasses on his face, he stopped the horse far away from the sentry tower at the foot of the mountain, and then removed huge logs from the following carriage . The shield, while waving various crudely made weapons in his hand, roared and braved himself to hide behind the shield of the log and marched slowly towards the mountain.

This is the forefront of a sentry tower. The top of the tower already ignited a fire, a plume of blue smoke straight into the sky, this is a warning sign that the tower was attacked. Similarly, several sentry towers around this sentry tower also raised blue smoke, which indicates that it was not a single sentry tower that was attacked, but that the entire frontier area was attacked by the enemy.

A soldier(s) with a grass-rooted rock Legion in his mouth looked scornfully at the grassy man climbing slowly down the mountain. Although the number of enemies was ten times that of the soldier(s) stationed in the sentry tower, he still did not In his heart, he spit out the grass roots in his mouth, and he called back, "Head, these grasses are really sick with their brains. Have you forgotten the lessons of the last few deaths and injuries? This time you made such eight huge The shield thought it could block the Ballista's shooting. It was really stupid. I don't know how much I will die this time to escape ... "

The next soldier(s) who is aiming with Ballista looks up and laughs: "Who will bet with me? I bet that they will throw a shield and run away when they die a hundred or so. I bet an gold coin(s)."

A bearded soldier(s) came over. This is the person in charge of the sentry tower, the centurion and Mid Captain(s). The establishment of Norton Family armed forces is different from others. Grindia Continent countries generally have a team of one hundred people, and one hundred people are divided into ten captains to assist the Squad Leader management team. Norton Family armed forces is a squad of ten people, Squad Leader is the ten captain, ten squadrons are a squadron, and Mid Captain(s) is a centurion. Then there are five squadrons with 500 people as a large team, five brigade plus a major logistics team, a total of 3,000 people form a battalion, 5 battalions of 15,000 people form a corps, four corps of 60,000 people form a Legion .

The slap of the bearded unrestrained was slapped on the back of the soldier(s) who was clamoring for bets, cursing: "Bet a fart, you have thrown gambling on how much your salary is a month, how much you lose and how old you are. Save some money and think about becoming a family. Nothing to think about what to do after retirement. Now give me a warning. Although the armor on our body is very good, these grassy poison arrows are not vegetarian. Rido just accidentally made an arrow in his elbow and had to cut off that arm. I hope you can all stand in front of me intact after the battle, understand? "

When nearly a thousand grasses crowded to the trench and started scrambling to fill the ground with the weapons in their hands, the Ballista on the sentry tower finally became powerful. One sentry tower and one squadron were stationed with a hundred people and equipped with twenty Ballistas. The sentry tower is twelve meters high and is divided into four floors. Five Ballista are arranged on the second to the top floors. Except that the top layer is not covered, the three layers of Ballista below shoot from the shooting holes. To make it awkward, this tower is actually the Lorist that moved the bunker of the little Japanese devil seen in previous movies.

The Ballista shooters in the sentry tower are all treacherous. They did not shoot the huge log shields, and specifically aimed at those grasses dug and filled. As the arrows fell from one grass to the other, soon all the grasses were crowded behind the shield, and no one wanted to fill out anymore. Except for the archer behind the shield, he hurriedly fired in the direction of the sentry tower, but was more than a hundred meters away, and could not directly aim. With the power of those crude bows and arrows, the long arrows hanged did not know where to fall. went.

This is a farce. It is not like a battlefield at all. Nearly a thousand grasses do not seem to come to attack but to serve as targets. The sides of the trench were filled with the bodies of fifty or sixty arrows, and the trench was only filled a little, not even half of it. As a result, all the grass were hiding behind the huge log shield, and they did not dare to make heads, sentry towers and attacks. The grassy man was so strangely deadlocked.

If these grasses spread their onslaught regardless of their casualties, maybe a thousand grasses will be able to attack the tower under only two or three hundred people. If they are lucky, they will be able to split thick wooden gate and capture the tower. Of course, this means that the sentry tower has no other countermeasures. But the problem now is that none of them are willing to be the victims of the offense. They are here to plunder, but not to kill their companions to become winners.

Beard looked at the eight huge log shields standing next to the trench, and felt his beard and said to himself: "It's really hard for them to push such a large shield up the mountain, but now they are hiding What to do if I do n’t come out later?

A soldier(s) said, "Head, how about we get on the rocket?"

Beard shook his head: "It's useless, such a large log shield, I don't know how long it takes to burn it. Unfortunately, thunderbolt catapult is not assigned to us, otherwise a stone balls will make this shield complete."

"Head, otherwise we focus on shooting a shield and see what the effect will be," suggested the betting soldier(s).

"Well, let's try it," said Beard.

The target is set at the middle log shield. With the beard's order, twenty lightning-like iron bolts are shot on the huge log shield in an instant. The shield shook a few times and remained in place. The bearded said a little disappointed, "Useless, the shield can stop it ..."

Without the voice, cheers from soldier(s) came around: "Head, look, look, the shield is down!"

I saw that the shield shot by 20 bolts fell straight to the back, and in the process of falling down, it was torn apart, revealing nearly a hundred grasses hiding behind the shield and several broken shield logs. An unlucky egg on the ground. Bearded and overjoyed: "Come to the wind, shoot a rabbit!"

It's really as simple as shooting a rabbit. The grasses that lost the log shield are scrambling around. Except for half of the grasses, they are fortunately squeezed behind the rest of the shields, and half of the grasses are the targets of the Ballista shooter. Several clever lie on the ground and hid behind the ridge and the felled big tree roots, and the remaining forty or fifty grasses became ghosts under the arrow in three rounds of Ballista shooting. The grasse who escaped from the mountain did not run out of the range of Ballista, and was penetrated by the bolt shot from the back ...

When the second log shield shattered under the fire of twenty bolts, the grass hiding behind all the shields couldn't help, and they shouted that they had abandoned the shield and fled down the mountain. They discarded the Weapons, even those holding their heads and rolling down from the mountain, they all know that huge log shields cannot protect them. Sooner or later, they will be shot like the two shields and cracked. It is better to be an arrow target than that. Escape the birth day.

It's just that the horses are nearly 400 meters away from the sentry tower. This is outside the range of the sentry tower Ballista. The previous attacks already have given Caoman a very deep lesson, so that they will not stop the war horse at Ballista. Within range. In the continuous pursuit of the sentry tower Ballista, most of the grass was still out of range. When these grasses were panting less than sixty or seventy meters away from the herd of horses, a large group of light riders suddenly burst out from behind the hills. They swept over like wild winds, and the grasses that had dropped their weapons suddenly looked like panicked chicks. Arrested by the eagle, they fled. It was only two legs that could not run through four legs, and soon under the light horse's fast horse blade, the grass fell to the ground one by one, and blood stained a large area of ​​land under the mountain.

...

"Saw it, Sabaji Grand Duke(s), this is the step-by-step strategy adopted by the four Northern Land alliances. They use such sentry towers to form a net, and some of the two sentry towers are separated by four or five hundred. Meters, some are only two or three hundred meters apart, and even the sentry towers are covered by their bolt range. I once ordered a Qianqi brigade to go from the middle of the two sentry towers to the back, but I did not expect to be between two There are also sentry towers behind the sentry towers. As a result, my Qianqi Brigade ran back with only four hundred people under the bolt shooting of the three sentry towers.

Grand Duke Fisablen said to an old man wearing gorgeous armor around him that just a few dozen riders just stopped on a small hill in the distance and witnessed the failure of the Cao Man attacking the sentry tower and being slaughtered by the light horse.

"Sentinel towers like this, with no more than a hundred troops stationed in them, the only thing to worry about is that the Northern Land four alliances did not know where to get so many defenders ballista. However, according to our observations, these defenders ballista seem to It has been improved, the launch speed is faster, the movement is convenient, and it is very accurate. Just now I let more than 10,000 Caoman go to attack ten sentry towers. As a result, you also saw that these Caoman are not the materials to attack the storm. The field is ok, there is no way to attack these towers.

To pull out these sentry towers, you must have a well-disciplined siege and experienced infantry to attack. We Fisablen Family are all light cavalry, unable to help these sentry towers, and they are limited by the role of our light cavalry. His Royal Highness Grand Duke(s), I hope you can urge the other three Dukedoms to send reinforcements as soon as possible. Everyone is now a camp. We must limit the Northern Land four to capture the southern provinces in any case, otherwise everyone will be restless. "Grand Duke Fisablen is frank.

It's July 12th, Grindia common calendar. After the Norton Family rock Legion arrived in the southern province, the four coalition forces Grand Duke Fisablen already and Northern Land confronted each other for nearly fifty days.

Panshi Legion arrived and settled in front of the defensive camp set up by Grand Duke Fisablen. Grand Duke(s) didn't care. It was common sense to deploy the barracks before launching an attack. This is common sense. He just ordered his two Legions to prepare for defense.

But what Grand Duke Fisablen didn't expect is that it has been too long for Panshi Legion to set up this barracks. On the first day, the second day, and the third day, Grand Duke(s) finally felt that something was wrong. After going to observe in person, it was found that Panshi Legion was established. This is not a military camp, but a defensive position. It is more rigorous and difficult to conquer than the defensive camp set by Grand Duke(s). Grand Duke Fisablen caught blind immediately, what is going on here to set up a defensive position, who is the offensive side!

After waiting for Panshi Legion to finish the defensive camp, then Panshi Legion still did not launch an attack, but began to build these sentry towers all over the world. Under the protection of Angry Bear Knight Regiment, it took only ten days to complete the construction of each tower. The materials that are continuously transported from the rear to build the sentry tower, once assembled, are a solid fortress-type sentry tower made of stone. Of course, this is thanks to the abundant supply of green rattan gum.

When Grand Duke Fisablen found that these towers became an insurmountable barrier for scouts that blocked Legion, they immediately ordered the Legion that had just arrived to launch an attack on these towers. However, Grand Duke(s) unfortunately found that the fiercely prepared Legion had no way to these towers, but suffered heavy damage. When Grand Duke(s) ordered the preparation of Legion to retreat, Angry Bear Knight Regiment, who had been ambushing for a long time, was suddenly killed halfway, playing the preparation Legion was caught by surprise, the preparation Legion lost almost half of its strength and fought a defeat defeat before retreating.

Grand Duke Fisablen was in a dilemma. He found that the invincible light cavalry on the grassland had no use in the southern provinces. The Northern Land four alliances used such a net-like sentry tactic to limit the family's light cavalry. Make room. Although not afraid of heavy casualties, you can still capture such a sentry tower, but Grand Duke Fisablen is very clear, the gains and losses outweigh the damage, using hundreds of family soldier(s) casualties to capture a sentry tower, that is purely a loss-making trade. It takes only ten days to build a sentry tower, but it takes years to train a qualified light cavalry ...

Seeing that these towers are being built more and more, they occupy more and more areas, Grand Duke Fisablen Start thinking about whether to give up the traffic points you currently occupy, and choose other places to follow Northern Land When the four alliances set up sentry towers, he finally waited for good news: Shabaj Duchy of Grand Duke(s) Personally led 20,000 reinforcements to the southern province, came and Grand Duke Fisablen meet.

Grand Duke Fisablen is overjoyed. He hit his mind on the reinforcements of the four Dukedom in the middle. His family are all light cavalry and lack infantry. However, the reinforcements sent by the central four Dukedom are basically infantry, just to let them overcome these sentry towers. At that time, their family's frontier ranger Legion can find opportunities to give Northern Land four alliances to take a heavy hit. Without knowing it, Grand Duke Fisablen's idea already took a big turn, even he didn't realize it. Now it turns out that he wants to find Norton Family armed forces. As long as Norton Family armed forces don't shrink back behind those sentry towers and strict defense positions.

In order to strengthen the persuasion, Grand Duke Fisablen deliberately picked out more than 10,000 disciplinary volunteer soldiers who came to participate in the war from the savage tribes, and ordered them to attack the frontier of the frontier to redeem their crimes. Sin. Of course, Grand Duke(s) did not hesitate to give a generous reward after victory, and also specially prepared a huge log shield for them to resist the bolt shot from the sentry tower. Although Grand Duke(s) does not have any hope that the savage crowds can overcome these towers, these sloppy offensive performances still make Grand Duke(s) feel shameless, but it also shows that Grand Duke Fisablen is indeed true. The cavalry is really bad at attacking.

Sabaji Grand Duke(s) is also a very experienced Great Sword Master, but he is Level 1 Great Sword Master, still relying on rare drugs to force a successful promotion. After watching this savage attack, he smiled and said to Grand Duke Fisablen: "His Highness Grand Duke(s), Central Four Dukedom is very concerned about the fighting in the southern provinces. This is related to the long-term stability of the central four Dukedom. We must not allow the southern provinces In the hands of the four alliances of Andinak Kingdom Northern Land, in addition to the 20,000 horses I brought, the other three Grand Duke(s)s will soon come with 20,000 reinforcements each. In addition, we will bring a large number of aid materials to your family. .

Since we are allies, then the Central Four Dukedom will bear the responsibility of our allies, and we will not sit idly by and watch your noble family fall into the situation of fighting the Andinak Kingdom invasion alone. As for how to overcome this tower tactic of the Northern Land four alliances, we can wait for the other three Grand Duke(s)s to come forward and negotiate a strategy. No matter what, we will stand with the noble family and stretch the Andinak Kingdom towards the Southern Province's paws to fight back. "
