The biggest mistake of Count Landy, the commander of the northern Swabian army, was to overestimate Lierao's strength and underestimate Lierao's intelligence.

In battle, the enemy is lenient. Randy knew that half of the infantry of the Burgundian reinforcements came from prisoners in prisons, so a completely temporary patchwork army would not be very strong, but even so, Randy still gathered more than 1,400 Swabian troops in order to capture the border as soon as possible, and these 1,400 people were also temporarily patchwork, but almost all of them were private soldiers (a small number of peasant soldiers) in various territories, and their combat effectiveness was naturally not too weak.

And from beginning to end, Randy didn't completely fall into the battlefield trap set by Ya Zheng

However, Landi made some mistakes in anticipating the enemy's wide direction, and the superiority in strength was not equal to the superiority in intelligence.

Art hadn't thought about defeating Swabian at the Jungle Gap from the beginning, delaying time was his ultimate goal, and apparently he did, halfway.

Randy didn't think that the Burgundians would attack the Walloon Fort camp, he also sent fast horses back to Walloon Fort after counting the number of enemy troops when he first arrived on the battlefield, no problem, there was not even a shadow of the enemy soldiers in the half-day distance around Walloonburg

However, a half-day ride is not a half-day drive.

............

Smoke billows southwest of the dense forest, outside Walloon Castle, the Swabian garrison camp.

"Red, let the infantry stop the pursuit, what are you doing chasing after those few remnants of the enemy? Shrink all the infantry back. ”

"Jafar, you and Lusignan immediately lead the cavalry to the northwest three miles to establish a perimeter defense, and if the Swabian army comes back to help, you will immediately report back and fight to delay time!"

"Klaus! Klaus! Where did Klaus die? Get Klaus back for me, and let him lead the heavy infantry team into the city to garrison it! ”

"Herald! Heralds! And there are no heralds! ”

A mile and a half east of Wallonburg, at the Swabian garrison camp, Angus, commander of the 1st Regiment of the Jonah Frontier Garrison, had a hoarse voice, and he dismounted and marched through the Swabian camp to hurry up and deploy his troops.

More than 500 people from the First Step, the Heavy Infantry and the Cavalry Corps, with the help of war horses and carriages, rushed to the Swabian garrison camp with only 200 soldiers and 100 miscellaneous servants left behind.

The Swabians were on guard, but the first march was fast and fierce, and the three hundred or so Swabians collapsed in a moment under the onslaught of more than five hundred elite infantry and dozens of cavalry, and most of the Swabian soldiers escaped, except for twenty or thirty soldiers who did not have time to escape and thirty or forty wounded soldiers who could not escape.

Schwaben fled, leaving the Jonah Frontier Garrison with a well-stocked fortress.

The camp was very busy, some soldiers were chasing and slashing the Swabians hiding in the camp tent and the corner of the camp, some were carrying Swabian labor miscellaneous soldiers looking for weapons and armor, some were carrying bags of things out of the Swabian granary and military tent, and of course, there were a few people who couldn't help but start to break away from the team and quietly enter the camp tent to loot property......

A carnival of victors.

Several of Angus's personal guards were all sent to give orders, and he grabbed a soldier with a grain bag on his shoulder, "Stop! Which flag team are you on? ”

As soon as the soldier saw that it was the commander, he immediately threw the grain bag on his shoulder and replied solemnly: "Elder Hui, I am from the third flag team of the regiment, and the flag captain is Chief Tuba."

"Okay, go find your flag captain at once, and ask him to come here to meet me!" Angus patted the soldier on the shoulder.

The soldier immediately turned around and ran towards Tuba, who was counting the grain and grass in the enemy camp on the inside of the military village.

After a while, a sweaty Tuba stood in front of Angus.

"Sergeant, our flag team is counting the loading of Swabian Rao food and weapons and armor. The Swabians had taken away most of their weapons and armor, but there were still two full tents of food, and there were plenty of wagons and cattle in the camp. Tuba pulled up the corner of his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Angus glanced at the two military tents on the side of the military village that served as granaries, and a smile appeared on his face, "Now we are not short of food." ”

"But we don't have time to slowly count the food delivered, you immediately gather Bangda, Triduok, Andrew, and your own banner team to set up a chariot line under the northern city of Wallonia, and let the Weeds banner team follow the heavy infantry team into Wallonia."

"Let the defenders of Wallonburg go out of the city at once to carry food, grass, baggage, weapons and armor, these are gifts from the Swabian brothers, and we must not live up to their kindness."

"By the way, let them move all the firewood from the enemy camp into Wallonburg, and remember not to pile it all up in one place, but to spread it out."

Schwaz himself once persuaded the defenders of Wallon to surrender when besieging Walloonburg, Schwaz himself claimed to have a thousand people army of a year's food baggage, this claim is of course an exaggeration, a year's food is not, but a thousand men and horses two or three months of grain, grass and baggage supplies are still no problem, in addition to food, Schwaa himself also left a battalion full of military equipment, wagons and livestock......

It feels good to rob something, especially a wealthy Schwabian.

However, now was not the time to enjoy the spoils of war, and Angus did not know when the Swaben would return to the rescue, so he only had the most important weapons and armor, grain and forage, and huge amounts of gold and silver money taken away (looted by the Swabian).

The soldiers of the garrison were quite organized and modest, and the defenders who came out of Wallonburg to transport food and supplies went crazy, and were surrounded by the Swabians for a month or two, and were almost driven crazy in their hearts, and now they suddenly turned over, and they plundered the Swabian barracks solidly.

As for those siege equipment, military tents and other things, there is no time to slowly dismantle and move, but Angus is still a little reluctant, he arranged for more than 20 soldiers to prepare hay and oil torches to wait in the Swabian camp, if Schwabian does not come back, he will wait for safety and slowly send people to pocket all those valuable materials, if the Swabian army returns, they will immediately burn those things, anyway, if they can't get Schwabian don't want to take it back.

Under the northern city of Walloonburg, the terrain is slightly smoother.

Tuba and Bangada flag captains were directing more than 200 soldiers near the fort wall, arranging more than 40 odd-shaped carriages end to end in a circular formation.

Known as the Fort Chariot (note: special thanks to the Hussites), this carriage was converted from a two-wheel-drive, four-wheeled van (thanks to the Dean family's caravan wagon), and the top of the vehicle was actually a retractable defensive shield that could be retracted to protect it from the wind and rain, and when it was lowered during battle, it formed a defensive shield that was higher than the body of the body. There are three triangular holes drilled into the board, so that the crossbowman can safely hide behind and shoot with heavy crossbows and arrows, and there are several rows of holes in the side panels that are not much larger than the shaft of the spear, and the spear can be stretched out to stab the approaching enemy if necessary, and there are protective guards under the car to block the enemy's creeping advance or arrow sneak attack.

The gap between each vehicle is blocked by the infantry's heavy shields or thick wooden planks, which are closed to protect against the enemy, and when opened, can also be used by soldiers who can take the initiative to pass through the chariot, and there is a narrow door for soldiers to get on and off the chariot in the direction of the inward orientation.

In addition to a cross and heavy crossbow (three are standard, but the armament is limited at present), fifty crossbow arrows, and twenty simple throwing spears, there is also a pebble the size of a willow fist, although this thing does not even touch the edge of the weapon, but it is still somewhat lethal to smash those light infantry who are close. In addition to the weapons, there are also some auxiliary combat tools, including: two axes, two shovels, two pickaxes, two hoes, two shovels, etc. Axes and pickaxes can be used to cut down trees, make planks to replace damaged parts, clear barricades, and chop people. Shovels and hoes can be used in conjunction with axes to dig traps and pickets.

Between the wheels hung several wooden barrels with dry sand and clean water to extinguish fires and drink horses.

The pack horses that pulled the carts were tied to a stake in the middle of the cart formation to drink water and graze, and except for the six soldiers on each carriage who were ready for battle, the rest of the soldiers also sat in armor and rested in the array.

Angus, who had set up his defenses, entered Wallonia with a few personal guards, and the commander of the garrison was already waiting at the door of the lord's hall.

As soon as the commander of the Wallonburg garrison saw the man, he immediately stepped forward and greeted Angus warmly, "Man, we meet again." I've heard that you've been promoted to knight, and now it's time for me to call you Sir Angus. You saved Wallon once again, and I owe you a thank you! Today I snatched the Swabian mongrel, and I will have a banquet prepared in the evening to celebrate your achievements! ”

Angus also politely saluted the baron, and then said with a straight face: "Lord Baron, thank you for your hospitality, but we don't dare to relax now, the Swabian army is still not far away, and my lord does not plan to confront the enemy, so they are likely to return to the city, and we must immediately deploy the fortress wall defense." ”

The commander of the garrison of Wallonburg was the same baron who had been leading the army on the outer Swabia in the stream hills east of Wallonia, together with Angus's cavalry (sentinels), a year earlier.

Angus still had some respect for this baron leader, and in that battle these barons still showed the courage and command ability that a baron on the frontier should have.

"Sir Angus, don't worry, I'm all ready. Originally, there were nearly 100 soldiers in the castle, and now that your elite has also entered the city to fortify the defense, Schwabian will definitely not dare to fight hard. ”

"Besides, you are still heavily garrisoned under the city, so naturally the iron wall is added to the steel wall. By the way, those carriages you laid under the north wall~ Why haven't I seen that kind of carriage? ”

"It's called the fortress chariot, which was created by my family, and it can quickly turn into a simple castle, which can defend against cavalry attacks and infantry charges, and can also move ......"

Hearing this, the baron of the garrison exclaimed: "Yoburgundy, with a resourceful and brave military nobleman like Baron Art, we are still worried about any foreign enemy invading the territory. Sir Angus, please come in with me and rest for a while......"
