Power and Empire Chapter 171: Old Guards (1)


When the fat man woke up from the daze, his face was sickly pale, and the hot sun was high above the sky. It was difficult for people to connect with the downpour of last night. The patriarch of the Hulin clan had already taken people away, Crowe Lisat asked the guards to carry the fat man back to the camp on a stretcher made of tree vines,

   The scenery in front of his eyes was constantly changing. The dense tall trees swayed up and down. The fat man felt a tingling pain in his right palm. He lifted it up and took a breath of cold air. A shocking scar was drawn from his wrist to the end of his thumb. An unknown green herbal medicine is overlaid on it, because of excessive blood loss, it looks pale and weak,

   The fat man shook his wrist tiredly, but he couldn't feel the pain in his right hand. It seems that it should be some kind of anesthetic herb,

  "Damn Crolitsat! I can't spare you two" The fat man raised his head angrily, but saw Crolitsart's national character face looking at him with an ambiguous look,

   "What to look at! If you can't give me a reasonable explanation today, I will remove your position as head of the banner!" The fat man screamed angrily. Last night, the Hu Lin took it from him "Commitment", now the fat man still feels distressed when he thinks of it, but it is full of blood in two water bags, it is red and palpitating,

   It’s fine if you donate blood voluntarily, and there is a blood donation certificate, but the fat man feels like a pig to be slaughtered. This makes the fat man feel very shameless. It’s really like being bloodletted by a group of beauties. Unforgettable forever.

   "You can't do that, my lord!" Crolitsat was startled by the excited look of the fat man, and said bitterly

  "You can’t blame me for this. I told the adults that the Pirates of Hu Lin are a very blood-related tribe. Anyone who wants to gain the trust of Pirates of Hu Lin must donate part of his blood as the price of promise. Adults don’t care too much. The doctors of the Hu Lin ethnic group are as famous as their scimitars. I believe the adults will recover soon!"

   "What you said is true?" The fat man shook his face, and didn't believe in Crolithat's nonsense. This made Crolithart feel guilty and quickly pointed to Xustain who was not far away.

  "If the adults don’t believe me, you can ask Captain Kesaster, I swear in the name of the mountain bear, if there is a lie in my subordinates! Let the mountain bear’s claws tear me to pieces, let me The soul can never return to the mountains"

   The fat man was silent for a while, and the matter was over. It didn’t make sense to hold accountable. And the fat man knew that mountain hunters always regard mountain bears as the patron saint of mountains, and Crolitsat swears in the name of mountain bears. The highest-level oath, and his face was cold and said, "Forget it! This thing ends here! What happened last night was top secret, and anyone who revealed it was punished as a crime of leaking secrets! "

  "Please rest assured, my lord!" Crolitsart said with joy. "This time, the guards accompanying him are all old people from the Governor's Mansion. They have followed the adults on missions many times. They are very clear about what should be remembered and what should not be. Remember! And they all stayed with me last night, and they don’t know anything about adults."

   "This is the best!" The fat man nodded, got off the stretcher, flexed his muscles, took his horse's rein from the guard, turned on his horse, looked solemnly at the sun above his head, and his whip was empty. With a wave, the horse speeds up, "All of you go back to camp quickly, and you must return to the camp before noon!"

   When everyone saw the Governor’s so proud, they shouted to keep up with the fat man, and then galloped with their horses hoofs, rolling up the dust all over the sky

   Fatty just returned to the camp and immediately gathered everyone to discuss a decisive battle with the Riwa Chezeren. According to the information provided by the Hulin tribe, this time the Riwa Cheze allied forces totaled 30,000 people, divided into three parts.

   One is the main force of the Japanese wagon, with a number of about 12,000, most of which are peasants recruited temporarily from the territory. The combat effectiveness is not strong. The four thousand Japanese wagons are the swordsmen army formed by the knights. , Is the power that the Japanese car relies on the most. The Dardaniel family also has a six-hundred-man knights.

  The other part is the coalition of lords in the southern coastal area of ​​Jiwa Chaze. The number is 9,000, mainly composed of fishermen and mountain people. The main combat weapons are spear hunting knives. Although the weapons are backward, they are sturdy and very good at combat. Harpoon.

   The last part is a mercenary mainly composed of the Hulin tribe. The personnel are complex, most of them are coastal barbarians. The number is 11,000. Among them, there are 8,000 Hulin warriors, well-equipped and superb martial arts. Main force,

  The Hulins have agreed to remain neutral during the battle, but the allied forces of the Zhivache still have a considerable number of more than 20,000 people. Although the troops of the Shivache are complex, they are really a lot of elites.

   And Fatty now has nearly 30,000 troops in his hands, but most of them are stationed in various places. The true meaning of second-line troops, training and weaponry are very different from the first-line combat troops.

  The equipment of crossbow bows is severely inadequate. There are only five hundred in a flag regiment. The Satsuma is not rich enough that even the second-line defenders can have a crossbow. Many weapons and equipment are eliminated by the first-line troops. It seems that there are 3 Million people,

   But there are not many troops that can be used for combat, mainly concentrated in the 5,000 heavy infantry brought by Crolithat, 3,000 guards in the headquarters of the legion, and 1,000 longbowmen in Quesathite. These are the real main force in Fatty’s hands

   Nine thousand to 20,000, such a ratio cannot be said to be able to win. If the three elite Satsuma groups were all there, the fat man would have been killed long ago, so there is still so much trouble there.

   These second-line troops are the real weakness of Fatty. Most of these defenders come from farmers and soldiers from all over the country. They guard the towns and maintain local law and order. If they are dragged on the battlefield of life and death, it is estimated that the battle will collapse soon.

   And what the fat man is most worried about is that the Japanese army is in the hands of the well-trained swordsman army. These skilled and tenacious professional fighters have absolutely never experienced the nightmare of killing peasants on the battlefield.

  In the hills of Sambuga, the sturdiness of these subordinate infantry left a profound impact on the fat man. An independent heavy infantry almost overwhelmed his army. What's more, the Hulichko in his guard used to be that one. The Glory Swordsman in the Swordsman Army spoke highly of the combat effectiveness of the Swordsman Army

   After careful analysis and consideration, the Fatty finally decided that instead of letting the second-line troops break apart~IndoMTL.com~, it is better to place the second-line troops behind the main force and form a second-line defensive formation, which counts as the first. If there is a problem with the attack line, the second-line defense can also buy time for the main force to regroup.

   Fatty divided the battle plan into various squadrons. In the afternoon, the Samorian army began to move towards Ditatus according to the plan.

   On the morning of September 10th, outside the Ditatus Fortress, in the morning mist, a stern army lined up, and the Falcon flag of Samor was fluttering in the wind.

   Fatty rode on the horse with a solemn face, looking at the Jiva attacking formation with the Ditatus Fortress as a backup, and the allied forces, which is the most favorite attack formation used by the nobles.

   Arrange the spear infantry into a line of captains. When attacking, the line advances layer by layer. It looks like a wave rolling forward from a distance. When the enemy is blocked, it will stack layer by layer until it crushes the enemy. 'S queue,

   This seems to be an upright decisive battle formation, but in fact it is an extremely sharp attack. It uses absolute strength to force the enemy to lengthen the front to fight against it, and then press it down like a mercury, the absolute first to push across. Is the weakest position in the enemy queue,

  The spearmen who are constantly pouring up will be like a snowball, directly flooding the enemy’s rear with a torrent of bursting momentum. In the face of this powerful force, the defeated side will not have any chance to come back

   Fatty has already felt that the man on the opposite side of the Riwa Che has seen through the reality of his army. After all, the quality of the second-line troops is there, crooked queues, loose formations, and most of them are wearing worn-out leather armor. The main force in front of them is a world of difference.

   With the first drum beat, the battle destined to be written in the historical records of the Satsuma Army begins (something happened today, the update is late, don’t worry, I will add another chapter in the evening)
