Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 373: Preparing for the field

Chapter 373 Preparing for the Field Battle

"Dangdang" A rough wooden rafter came down, forming a wooden bridge across a three-meter-wide trench. An Handra Dukedom centurion wearing an iron-encrusted leather armor Black Iron helmet with a bunch of white feathers yelled with a sword: "Hurry up, push the second cart over here!"

A dark shadow resembles lightning, and the centurion's body flew up from the distance to the near. The bolt shot from the sentry tower took him all three or four meters and landed on the ground. The centurion struggled to touch the tail of the bolt that penetrated his chest, but after struggling, he spit out blood, and then rolled his eyes and broke his breath ...

The death of the centurion caused chaos in his hundred-man squad, but another centurion rushed over immediately. He was not brave enough to stand by the trench, but hid in the trench. After getting a shield car built of logs, he shouted and shouted and finally let the hundred-member squad pushing a few carts calm down and continued pushing the cart forward. At the same time, the centurion commanded his hundred-man longbow team to launch a shot at the three sentry towers in front.

This is the second offensive and defensive battle in the southern province. The time is Grindia common calendar July 4, 1978. One month has passed since the first offensive and defensive battle in the southern province already. This month, Fisablen Family armed forces and the central four Dukedom reinforcements wiped out several nearby mountains and forests, and created a large number of offensive equipment and two-wheeled shield vehicles that defended the bolt. The Northern Land family armed forces under the command of Lorist launched an attack.

From the battalion's defensive position where Rock Legion is located to more than ten miles on the left, the space is relatively flat and wide. There are flames of fire, swords, swords, horns, shouts, and drums of drums. No matter the attacker or defense Fang's soldier(s), the only wish at this moment is to defeat the enemy and let himself survive.

From the height, the elite four infantry soldiers in the middle of the Dukedom are like the waves at high tide, waves after waves, and the sentry towers are like reefs in the huge waves. With the repeated impacts still stand. The bolt, which was continuously fired in all the attacked sentry towers, hit a blossoming blood flower in the turbulent crowd ...

But in the past month, the troops of the four Dukedoms in the central area prepared a large number of siege equipment. To deal with these sentry towers was nothing more than killing chickens. Each of the carts was pushed to the ditch to place wooden platters. The trenches lost their role of blocking offense. Two-wheeled shield vehicles built of logs covered the offensive soldier(s) directly under the sentry tower. The soldier(s) with a huge axe split the thick wooden gate in and out of the sentry tower. Started inside the sentry tower. There were even a number of siege vehicles being pushed under the sentry tower. Two or three lower sentry towers were cut out of the big holes. The soldier(s) guarding the sentry tower was forced to rush out and start life and death with the attacking enemy. Fight, fall down one by one ...

The offensive position of the Rock Legion camp was the Caoman Cavalry, but the 20,000 Caoman who launched the attack were dismounted and turned into infantry. They also pushed the cart, the log two-wheeled shield car and the wood attack. The city car launched an attack under the **** of Fisablen Family Third Frontier Ranger Legion, but their cooperation did not have the dexterity of the infantry of the central four Dukedom. It took three offensives and took more than two hours. In addition to the five in the top three trenches There were two or three thousand corpses left outside the carts, and there was no further progress.

Lorist was stationed on a mound in the middle of the camp, watching the Caoman infantry in front of the camp's defensive position once again leaving a hundred or two hundred bodies to retreat. But his face was gloomy. There was no trace of joy to repel the enemy. . Because Lorist has just received a report, the forty-seven sentry towers on the left side of the flat land were either captured, collapsed, or caught fire, or fell into the enemy's hands. The family soldier(s) guarding these 47 sentry towers was basically killed. Three sentry trenches were dug around the sentry tower to surround the sentry tower, making the soldier(s) guarding the sentry tower unable to evacuate, and could only choose to share it with the enemy.

It's a self-restraint. The sentry tactics have a good restraint effect on the light cavalry, but it has no effect on the infantry who is good at attacking the enemy. Especially the enemy has a wealth of experience in attacking the enemy and is good at making all kinds of siege equipment. Moreover, they are willing to pay a large price for casualties, so when the enemy's strength is dominant, they can be pushed over. The soldier(s) of these guard towers is almost a stubborn one, and they can only fight with the enemy to kill enough to make ends meet.

I still do n’t have enough experience. The tactics of using hot weapons in the cold weapon era are not applicable. Ballista cannot be strong enough to penetrate the shield cars built from logs. If the shield built by the log relies on human power and concentrated Ballista for firing, it can be cracked, but the enemy can not install the shield built by the log on the two-wheeled vehicle. Even with the support point, the firing and cracking will not affect the people hiding behind. Coupled with the scooter, as long as the enemy approached the sentry tower, Ballista had no shooting angle, and the sentry guard had to fight close to the enemy.

"Does Fierce Tiger Ross still live?" Lorist asked.

"Her Royal Highness, Ross Lord(s) still insisted, but he led a Lancer Cavalry Regiment to support the front line of the first sentry tower and was covered by the enemy's long archer's sling, which hurt a lot ..." the courier replied.

"How can this happen? Didn't Chariot Ballista fight back?" Lorist was a little angry.

"Her Royal Highness, Chariot Ballista could not approach, was blocked by the trench behind the third line of defense, and had insufficient range. Ross Lord(s) was also led by the cavalry to pass through the intersection of the trenches of the first line of defense because they were crowded together. The enemy archer's sling ... "said the messenger Nana.

Lorist wanted to give myself a slap, and it was obviously his fault. He set up three tower defense lines on the left side of the ground. The first and second lines were separated by more than two hundred meters. The three and the second are separated by more than 300 meters. The problem is that the trenches on the first and second lines of defense were ordered to dig trenches by themselves and wanted to turn around for a long time. I thought I could block the enemy ’s attack. As a result, the enemy used Erecting a car makes the trench ineffective. These trenches did not increase the difficulty for the enemy, but now become troubles that hinder the frontier of reinforcements.

Oh! I wanted to use the sentry tower tactics to restrain the performance of the Fisablen Family Hussars. Everyone was cheering, so when I ordered the trench to be dug, no one disputed it. Now I know that I made a big mistake. No, Lorist can't stay here in the camp, and turned to Els and instructed: "Send someone to notify Potterfang, I will go to the left Ross of the battlefield to see, let him guard the camp, yes, the banner here is not moving, you guys Imperial Guard Battalion should not follow me to avoid too much movement, just let Reidy take a squadron to follow me. Also, order Orville Keith's thunderbolt catapult Battalion and Terman's Angry Bear Knight Regiment to move to the left wing stealthily, since Central Four Dukedom is the old guy of Fisablen So killing your life, leave it there. "

"Yes, Your Highness." Els turned around and explained a few words, and the three Imperial Guard strategists came down the mound.

"Els, if these grasses in front of the big camp are attacking suddenly, you can let Potterfang gradually withdraw from the front defensive position, as long as you can hold the big camp. In addition, if the situation is urgent, you can bring Imperial Guard The battalion entered the battle by itself, understand? "Just about to call the horse away, Lorist remembered something again, and told Els a few words before taking Schwartz, Reidy and one hundred Imperial Guard to the left.

"Her Highness, why are you here?" Fierce Tiger Ross had a blood-stained bandage around her left shoulder.

"How come the lottery?" Lorist asked with concern.

Fierce Tiger Ross smiled embarrassedly: "I rushed too fast and was shot by the Longbow set fire. I didn't notice it. As a result, a piercing armored arrow was in the shoulder. Fortunately, the shoulder armor was strong, only Open a small mouth and hurt the flesh, let's do it.

"Are you okay? Have you been poisoned, have you seen Potion Master?"

"I've seen it, and I also poured a bottle of antidote, and the wounds were all dealt with. It won't affect me to go into battle. You see ..." Fierce Tiger Ross also pretended to put his left hand easily: "His Royal Highness, don't you Worrying about my minor injury, it's fine. "

Lorist nodded his head and turned to look forward, at this time the battlefield already calmed down.

"His Highness, the enemy is resting. Although they captured the forty-seven sentry towers at the forefront of the first line of defense, their casualties are not low. I estimate that they are more than ten thousand. The soldier(s)s who guard the sentry tower Basically one for two or three is not a loss. "Fierce Tiger Ross quickly introduced the situation.

Because this is a flat terrain, Lorist's three sentry towers, which are basically in the shape of a letter, are connected together. Although the elite four infantry soldiers in the middle Dukedom captured these 47 sentry towers, but The casualties they paid were also very large. Lorist took a binocular and looked far away. You can see that the four Dukedom infantrymen in the middle are busy cleaning up the battlefield and carrying their dead soldier(s) bodies to carriage and transported them to the rear. There are still some soldier(s) on rest. Several brigades transferred from the rear are overhauling those offensive equipment. If you listen carefully, you can also hear the murmur of vague repairs to the log shield.

Looking up at the position of the sun in the sky, it is still around 10-11 am. It is likely that the enemy will launch an attack after lunch. The plan of the central four Dukedom should be to break through the defense of this flatland sentry tower. Line, taking advantage of the strength of troops to occupy this place, and then can let Fisablen Family's border guards Legion from here to the rear of the camp to start harassment and guerrillas, forcing Lorist to withdraw from the southern province.

"Order, the guard soldier(s) in the second line of defense tower cleans up Ballista and immediately withdraws from the tower." Lorist ordered.

Fierce Tiger Ross was shocked: "Your Highness, no, the guards of the sentry tower are here. The central Dukedom wants to conquer our three lines of defense. At least it will cost more than half of our troops. At that time, although we sacrificed these three lines of defense 10,000 Many sentry towers guard soldier(s), but we can easily pack up the remaining enemies ... "

Lorist shook his head: "Our family soldier(s) should not fight against the enemy like this, even if it is one to ten, I feel too loss. And when they take our three lines of defense, I believe the Fisablen Family's frontier rider Legion It's time to play with the preparation of Legion. The enemy will never leave us with the opportunity to clean up and retaliate against the four Dukedom infantry in the middle. Once we are drilled to the rear by those riders through this space, we will lose the entire battlefield. Initiative. Withdrawing from the sentry tower does not mean that we do not fight, in fact, we guard the tower just to give up our advantage ... "

"Advantage?" Fierce Tiger Ross blinked in confusion: "His Royal Highness, what is our advantage?"

Lorist laughed: "Although we have less troops than the enemy, but our advantage is offense and field, you will not forget it? Look at the total between three hundred and four here and the second line of defense. At a distance of ten meters, this flat land is more than ten miles long, enough to put down hundreds of thousands of horses. We are here to fight along the sentinel tower of the third line of defense. The enemy must fight with us to break through this line of defense. Abandon the sentry tower on the second line of defense, then the enemy will want to rely on the strength of the victory and strength of the army to start a field battle with us, huh, as for the field battle, who are we afraid of? "

Lorist's plan is very simple. Fierce Tiger Ross and Pachko's two Golden Knights each lead a flying tiger corps and a Felim family of Pegasus corps. A total of 50,000 horses are placed on the left and right wings, while Marek's Chariot Ballista corps. One of the two corps sent by Shaheen Count and the heavy infantry Legion sent by Kenmays Family as the midfield, nearly 40,000 people. Put on a font battle. The Northern Land four alliances preparing for field battles have a strength of about 90,000, plus the light infantry regiment of Shaheen Count guarded by the sentry tower on the third defense line and the sentry guard soldier(s) withdrawn from the second defense line in front, the total strength Around 100,000.

The retreat of the sentry tower guard soldier(s) on the second defense line quickly alarmed the enemies resting on the first defense line. They found that the sentry tower guards abandoned the sentry tower and quickly rushed over to occupy it. The empty sentry tower and a burst of cheers made it clear that the second line of defense was occupied to boost the morale of the enemy. However, they soon saw the family armed forces of the four Northern Land alliances that had placed the field in the third line of defense in front of them, so the cheers gradually fell down. Perhaps they already realized that although a brutal attack was avoided, more **** field battles awaited them ...

The enemies responded quickly. The first enemy to occupy the second line of defense began to use the sentry tower to prevent sneak attacks, and then a large number of soldier(s)s with various tools came up to landfill. The ditch on the second line of defense, then those shielded cars built of logs were pushed to the front to form a line, and finally, one by one, the infantry brigade moved forward in a battle formation.

"It seems that the enemy is ready to battle with us, but it will take several hours to wait for them to adjust. It will take a few hours to let everyone relax and take a rest. Responsible for the logistical rebellion and let everyone eat well. Yes, I have enough energy and strength to prepare for the afternoon fight. "Lorist ordered.

"Observe, Your Highness."
