Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 61: Offense and defense
Chapter 61 Attack and Defense
The Archer Joske is about thirty years old, tall and fit, with blond hair, handsome looks, and a determined look. Only Lorist found that there seemed to be a slight sorrow in his eyebrows.
After greeting each other after the Knight(s) ceremony, Lorist invited Knight Joske to go to big tent to chat.
After arriving at big tent, after introducing the family Knight(s) to Knight Joske, Lorist briefly explained the origin of caravan and attacked by the Lancers in the afternoon, causing him to capture the barracks in anger, and asked Knight Joske's visit here.
Knight Joske is also very straightforward. He said that his purpose was to see the strength of caravan. Can he resist the attack of Kou Count Billy's next brigade guard and a squadron of cavalry. Originally, he approached the barracks in camouflage reconnaissance in the afternoon to mix in and set fire to the grass and grass supplies while the barracks' defensive strength was insufficient, forcing the army of Kou Count Billy, who was mopping up in the western mountainous areas, to turn around, so that the resistance forces in the western mountainous areas could get a breather.
Lorist's caravan capture of the barracks is undoubtedly a big help for the resistance. Knight Joske was frank. He said that in the afternoon, when he saw Lorist with less than 100 light cavalry captured the barracks, he thought that they were not strong enough. At most, he evacuated the barracks as his purpose. At that time, he wondered when there would be a cavalry unit in this area that could compete with the Lancers. Until he returned, he found that Charade's caravan was advancing to the barracks. Then he understood that Lorist was likely to pass by here and conflict with the Lancer . Fearing that Lorist they did not understand that Kou Count Billy ’s military strength would be a big loss, so they came to inform Lorist specifically.
Knight Joske said that Koo Count Billy was sweeping a garrison brigade plus a garrison squadron originally stationed in the barracks in the western mountainous region. There were five squadrons in total. Two spear squads are formed, each squad is full of 120 people. The five squadrons are close to 2,400, plus a Lancer squadron wandering around the mountainous area, with a total military strength of nearly 2,900.
Charade interjected, he said that the information obtained from Solia Knight(s) was more than a thousand lancers and more than 2,000 garrisons. Why is the military strength of Count Billy expanding so fast?
Joske ask who is Solia Knight(s)? Charade told him about the situation of Charles Baron and Soria Knight(s).
Knight Joske poked his lips, Charles Baron he knew and met a few times. Solia Knight(s) is not wrong, but the situation he said was more than a year ago, when Kou Count Billy just returned to Territory. Now that Kou Count Billy is fighting around in this area, using force to conquer and destroy Territory Aristocrat(s) in this area, how can we not strengthen the military force? In addition to the troops smashed into the mountains in the west this time, Kou Count Billy's family Territory also has three Lancer Squadrons, a full-scale garrison squadron, and two newly formed garrison squadrons.
Sometime ago, the raiding forces broke through several cottages in the western mountainous areas, and obtained a batch of grain and supplies. These two days began to attack the strongest resistance in the western mountainous village of Funiuling, relying on the dangerous terrain and the Funiuling cottage. The resolute resistance of the resistance forces, although holding on to the cottage, also caused great losses, and the situation was precarious. That's why Knight Joske wanted to attack the barracks to burn the grain. However, Lorist occupied the barracks, and the news spread to the western mountain areas, which ensured that Kou Count Billy's raiding forces would immediately return to attack the barracks.
Knight Joske's suggestion to Lorist is to evacuate as soon as possible if the strength of caravan is not enough to resist the raid forces, and burn the food and grass materials, forcing Kou Count Billy's raid forces to withdraw the family Territory. The western mountain area is only one day away from here. I heard that the military camp is occupied there tonight, and I will be able to rush back tomorrow evening. If caravan is not fast, I ca n’t go.
Lorist shook his head. caravan could n’t go. It would be easy to catch up if he left. As long as the lancers got caravan and the big troops behind him, caravan had to fight with Kou Billy's army. It is better to defend the barracks with the dominant enemy on the way to evacuate, at least the terrain is occupied here, which can reduce casualties.
Lorist Murderous Qi said tentatively that if there is a battle, it will be a big one. I will use this barracks to wipe out 3,000 people from the mob and give Kou Count Billy a profound lesson.
Lorist Analysis said that although Kou Count Billy The number of raid troops is three times ours, but his real combat power is far less than ours. armed forces power. According to the captive's confession, Kou Count Billy The only thing that threatens us is the Cavalry, all awakened Battle Qi of soldier(s) Composition, but if these Black Iron with Bronze Powerful lancer lost his impact, and us Black Iron If the powerful heavy armored soldiers fight close, it is guaranteed to be a massacre of the Lancers. As for the more than two thousand garrison soldiers, no Battle Qi ,in Terman Silver with Black Iron strength Knight(s) Isn't it a flock of sheep under the impact of the regiment?
At that time, the hussar scouts of Yuri are roaming around and will not let go of an enemy who missed the net. We also have crossbowmen, spearmen, and ballista Chariot. I can't think of a reason why we can't win.
As for how to trick the enemy into our trap, it's even simpler. Jost Knight(s) said just now that although the raid forces broke through a few cottages and obtained a batch of food and grass materials, they only consumed them for five or six days. Hearing the news that the barracks were occupied, the raiding forces had only two options, one was to withdraw the family Territory, and the other was to recapture the barracks. I believe that the leader of the raiding forces will definitely choose to capture the barracks. If he chooses to withdraw the family Territory, he will be scolded by Kou Count Billy even if his military strength is not damaged. He cannot bear the responsibility of losing two Lancer squads and three illegitimate children. He can only choose to return to the army to destroy us and recapture the barracks to obtain supplies.
We choose to resist each other. The first two days should make the other party feel that they can capture the barracks as long as they work harder. After two days, he will put them into the barracks when he has put in all his military power, and use various obstacles to divert their military power. The heavy armored soldiers were sent to give them a fatal blow. At that time, it was not difficult to destroy them.
Lorist's words refreshed everyone in big tent. Everyone knows that this battle cannot be avoided. Like Lorist said, even if you leave now, you will inevitably be caught up in a field battle. . In addition, Lorist has proposed a strategy that sounds very good. As long as it is properly implemented, it can really wipe out more than 3,000 people.
Charade immediately found the map of the barracks and began to discuss with everyone how to seduce each other, how to set up a battlefield in the barracks, arrange traps and ambushes, how to divide the military strength of the other, and so on. .
Knight Joske seems to be a little envious of the harmonious atmosphere between Lorist and the family Knight(s). After watching everyone's discussions on the defensive measures, they turned to Lorist. They voluntarily asked if they could contribute to this war?
Lorist nodded. He told Knight Joske that all the armed forces power of Norton Family caravan would be put into this battle. If Knight Joske had the ability, he would take a team of soldiers while Kou Count Billy's sweeping troops fell into the ambush of the military camp. Its rear camp is the biggest help to this war.
Knight Joske heard it, and was energized, answering that this is not a problem. He immediately went back to gather the rebels, followed secretly behind the raiding forces, and killed their old nest when they attacked the barracks and fell. After saying Knight Joske, he left in a hurry.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------etetshipship
In the evening of the next day, the squadron of Kou Count Billy appeared before the barracks. The vanguard was the Lancer Squadron. When they rushed to the front of the barracks, they soon saw the heads of a stick sticking to the sides of the road leading to the barracks gate. The head of the big brown-haired man was particularly striking.
The Lancers were so angry that they scolded at the barracks. Some of them even wanted to attack the barracks' gates. As a result, more than 100 crossbow archers arranged on the barricades of the barracks fired a burst of arrows. Going back, they also left a dozen or so Lancers with their arrows down.
After the garrison arrived, the leader of this Count Billy raid sent out four teams of sword and shield soldiers. Under the cover of the shield, they collected the heads of the sticks and the bodies of dead lancers. I went back and then started camping.
Lorist nodded while standing on the parapet, commented: "The leader of this unit is fairly clear-headed, and his military operations are quite satisfactory. Let ’s go, Fatty, Els. It should be all right tonight. The drama tomorrow morning will be It's time to start. "
Charade is still a little worried: "What if they don't go from the gate, but instead find a barracks where the barracks launch a sneak attack? We will concentrate all our forces on the gate."
"No," Lorist pointed to the outside of the retaining wall: "You see, Kou Count Billy chose to set up a permanent barracks here, too. First, the terrain is flat, there are no high ground nearby, and the barracks are higher than the outside. About two meters, it is suitable for the Lancers to attack and prevent the enemy from watching the movement of the barracks from the outside. Second, except for the three-meter-wide road leading to the gate of the barracks, the barracks are surrounded by the two-meter wide road. The moat, we have tried water depth of more than two meters, this side of the moat is still a row of rejection horses, behind the rejection horse is a four-meter-high stone retaining wall, and the retaining wall inside the barracks is only two meters high. There is one on the retaining wall. The five-meter-high wooden fence allows people to stand on the wall and hide behind the wooden fence to defend. "
"If they want to break through the barrack of the barracks, they must fill that moat first, and then clear the horses on the river bank, so that there will be a place to put the ladder, and the ladder will be more than five meters long. Do n’t forget that this barracks originally belonged to them. They naturally understand that it is most efficient to launch an attack from that part of the barracks. With time constraints, I do n’t think they will even consider breaking through the wall. To be honest, the barracks ’defense It is stronger than some Lord(s) castles. Kou Count Billy is also unexpected. He did the defense of the barracks so well to prevent the attack by the resistance forces. Now they have become their own to attack the barracks. Bitter? "
"In addition to the gate of the barracks, there is a small gate behind this barracks, but the suspension bridge over the moat must be lowered to pass through the gate. It is very inconvenient to pass through the horses. I think they will send a squadron of soldiers to block behind the barracks. The suspension bridge ensures that we will not run away. As for the brigade, it is most convenient to launch an attack from the gate of the barracks. For them, we are finished by breaking the barracks. Tomorrow morning, let the old people and children wear leather armor to hold the spear to the wall. Going around and letting them confirm that we are not strong enough, even the elderly and children have started to defend. "
Els asked, "Will they send Golden Rank's Expert(s) into the barracks that night?"
Lorist smiled: "You thought they were all you. You wandered around like a **** all night, and the captives said that the eleven illegitimate sons of Count Billy, three Gold, eight Silver, and already were slaughtered by us. One Gold and two Silvers. The rest are absolutely afraid to venture in alone. You must know that singles fighting is not the same as fighting on the battlefield. Enemies who cannot fight on the battlefield can use the soldier(s) under their hands to kill him. Most of them are soldier(s). If we sneak in and we find out that no one will help him, maybe they will die, so they will not take this risk. Besides, there is Potterfang and his comrade in arms Ross on the night tour, what can we worry about? "
...
All night is fine.
Kou Count Billy's raid forces are rushing for a day, it is normal to take a good rest and not toss. And the Lorist who occupied the barracks did not send anyone to harass. In addition, the old men and children hanging around the barracks wall early in the morning were easily seen by the gunmen who monitored the barracks. That is, the enemies occupying the barracks are not strong enough, and even the elderly and children are sent to battle.
The morning raid sent several guards with loud voices to come. They threatened by yelling at the gate of the barracks, demanding that people inside the barracks immediately surrender, or they would all hang themselves when they killed them. Lorist thought they were too noisy and asked the crossbowman to shoot them into hedgehogs. Then he ordered the elders and children on the barracks to evacuate immediately, and the fighting was about to begin.
Sure enough, these defenders who came to persuade were shot dead and angered the enemy. They swarmed out from the camp, with the sword and shield soldiers in front, the longbow soldiers behind, and then launched with the crossbowmen in the barracks. On shot. However, the crossbowman is covered by a retaining wall and a wooden fence. The crossbow is easy to aim and direct, and its lethality is stronger than a longbow that can only be thrown at a long distance.
The longbowman is caught in an awkward situation. He was susceptible to being shot by a crossbow recently. If he is not close, he can only shoot, which will not cause damage to the crossbowman. After several rounds of shooting, it did not cause any damage to the crossbowman except for a few more arrows on the wooden fence on the barricade wall.
The longbowman was withdrawn, and the enemy changed his strategy. They sent sword and shield soldiers to attack and prepare to lure the crossbowman to launch bolt, and try to consume as much bolt as possible. Lorist ordered that no arrows were allowed. The two teams of Sword and Shield soldiers arrived before the gate of the barracks and then opened the door. The prepared Terman led the Knight(s) group into the Sword and Shield soldiers like a tiger into a flock, killing them extremely quickly. . The two teams of more than 200 sword and shield soldiers fled back to more than 50.
The Lancers over there wanted to rush up but were blocked by the crossbowmen. When they pulled the long bow up, Terman had taken the Knight(s) regiment back into the barracks. This raid army lost more than 150 sword and shield soldiers, but Terman they were unscathed.
Although I lost for a while, the leader of the sweepable troops thinks that the loss is very good. Combined with the description of the Lancers who fled the second attack on caravan, the caravan guard force occupying the barracks is the one who guards the barracks gate More than a hundred crossbowmen, and more than forty Knight(s)s who just rushed out of the barracks to kill the sword and shield soldiers, and the remaining ones are hundreds of spearmen. However, the spear soldiers I saw in the morning were old men and children. I think they should have suffered a lot of damage when they captured the barracks, and their combat effectiveness was negligible.
Sweep troops stopped attacking the barracks in the afternoon, sending only lancers to watch from a distance. Send a large number of garrison troops to cut down the grove, and then drag the trees back to the camp. Standing on the parapet, Lorist saw many garrison soldiers in the camp of the raiding force busy with making wooden platoons and crashing.
"It looks like they are ready to move tomorrow. Are our fuel tanks ready?" Lorist Wen stood next to Charade.
"A total of fifty-five, I don't know if it is enough." Charade was worried.
"Enough. Give him a fire tomorrow, and then it's our turn to pack them." Lorist laughed with a cracked mouth.
...
In the morning Lorist morning exercise is finished, just ready to wipe his body, Charade ran to say that the enemy's army already was dispatched.
Sun, so early, the sun is not yet out! Lorist looked up and looked at the sky, only to find that today the sky is cloudy and gloomy. It seems that it will snow in the afternoon or at night. It's January and it's going to have a few heavy snow. The sweeping forces over there may have also noticed a change in weather, so they launched the attack early.
Lorist said to Charade: "You go and look at the dependents of the army. You need to add extra clothes when the weather changes, so that many people in caravan will not get sick from the cold. You should worry about these things. I will be responsible for the fighting outside. "
...
Standing on the parapet, watching the enemies on the opposite side shrink themselves behind the wooden platoons, and then gradually move the wooden platoons forward, among the wooden platoons, three rough-looking crashes are counted. Ten people pushed “creak” slowly along the road.
Lorist smiled at Potterfang who spent the night patrolling: "It's a fierce battle today, it seems they are all in a hurry."
Potterfang nodded: "The change in weather has a great impact on them. If it lasts for a few days, they will retreat now even if it is snowy. The supply is insufficient and it cannot be sustained. They can only sustain the army early to maintain their troops. . Now facing them is a storm attack, regardless of the price of the casualties, we must take down the barracks. Maybe we do not have to wait until tomorrow to start the trap. "
Lorist said: "Well, if they keep on attacking, then we will give up the barracks gate and lead them in. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it's a day or a day later, even if they want to flee, they can't get far. Reidy , You go and inform everyone of your choice, we are going to surprise the enemy. "
...
