Chapter 51: The Battle of Como in the Battle of Lorraine's Conquest The war begins!
Whoa~
Since the northern part of the Kingdom of Rollin is the vast West Sea, the northerly winds are especially strong at the turn of spring and summer. The www.biquge.info wind was still very gentle at noon, as if foreseeing the coming war, so it gradually grew bigger and bigger, blowing the flag and swaying non-stop.
Alan looked at the flags fluttering overhead, and was glad that he had chosen a favorable direction. Otherwise, with the help of such a strong wind, the opponent's bow and arrow would not shoot themselves into hedgehogs?
Call~
"How? Is there any movement on the other side? Alan exhaled and tugged at his collar. Although the temperature is not very high, after more than half an hour in the sun, the sweat is sticky and uncomfortable.
Guy had been standing beside Allen, and the binoculars in his hand had not been lowered for a moment, and he had been vigilantly observing the movements of the Rollin Kingdom. It wasn't until he heard Allen's question that he put down his binoculars and replied, "There is no change in the other party." ”
"Tut-tut." Alan smacked his mouth, "It seems that the old turtle on the other side can really bear it." “
After Allen meets Renard, Allen decides to lure Renard out, so he does something that doesn't sound good, but it works. That's scolding, or naked collective scolding.
A thousand carefully selected conscripted peasant soldiers, whom they thought were sent to be used as cannon fodder. Many people have already wept bitterly and begun to repent of their sins. But before the battle, they found out that their task was not to send people to death, but to curse.
Although I don't know why I want to curse, since I don't have to send him to death, it naturally doesn't matter. When it comes to combat effectiveness, these conscripted peasant soldiers are some unworthy scum, but when it comes to swearing. I have a variety of life experiences in my daily life.
At first, it was a little scary to look at the military formation of the other party's Luolin Kingdom, but soon after seeing that the other party did not react, he scolded even more.
Rollin's side, however, did not act at all under Renard's orders. Even some of the knights tried to rush out and kill Alan's street scolding troops, but they were stopped by Renard. So they could only hold back and endure the insults of those lowly peasants who they would never look down on.
"Collect the troops. It's our turn. Alan patted Guy on the shoulder.
Seeing this, Guy understood what Eren meant. So he quickly gave the order. The conscripted peasant soldiers were driven down. Then the follow-up troops slowly advanced until the distance between the two sides was shortened to about two hundred meters. This distance is just 50 meters beyond the range of the archers.
On the other side, Prince Renard and Count Hals were resting in the middle of the camp. There was a canopy to keep out the sun, and there was a supply of fine wine and fruit, and the conditions were much better than Alan's. But Hals was not in the mood to enjoy it at all.
The war was so close, though Hals couldn't understand why Renard was so idle. You must know that the other party once defeated His Majesty George's 50,000 army, and now it is still a question whether Renard's 30,000 army can withstand it. But looking at Renard's appearance, instead of being worried, he seemed full of confidence.
"Report! There is a change in the enemy's army! ”
When Renard heard this, he quickly put down the wine glass in his hand, and without delaying for a minute, he quickly walked out of the camp, raised his binoculars and began to observe.
Sure enough, the annoying conscription peasant soldiers had been replaced, and the main force of Ailu began to move forward slowly.
"Your Highness, what should we do?"
"What to do? Hum! Of course, it's a face-to-face attack! Renard snorted coldly and waved his hand. Beat the drums! Formation! ”
Remembering the dense drumming, all the Rollin soldiers hurriedly got up from the ground when they heard this sound, lined up in front of the formation, and waited for Allen's army to approach step by step.
This time, Eren can be regarded as pouring out of the nest and unleashing the war potential of the entire Essis. A total of 20,000 troops were dispatched.
Among them, there were 2,000 infantry in the Essis phalanx, and Allen arranged them on both flanks of the array to prevent the opponent's flanks from outflanking.
The core of the entire army consisted of 4,000 Essis legion infantry. Of these, except for 1,000 who were placed in the front row, the remaining 3,000 were ready to support the front line as reserves.
Another 2,000 Essis assault infantry were stationed in the center, awaiting Allen's command. They are like a sharp knife, able to penetrate the enemy's line at once, break through the defensive formation, and create a chance for victory in the battle.
In the ranged troops, in addition to 1000 archers. Allen also deliberately organized a 2,000-strong crossbow team.
This kind of production can be produced on a large scale with only simple training, and can restrain heavy armor, light armor, cavalry, and infantry. A versatile class that can both attack and defend is exactly what Allen has always dreamed of.
Therefore, as soon as the dwarf team joined, Alan couldn't wait to build a heavy crossbow team. And this is just a simple single-shot crossbow, although the range and power are more than the bow and arrow, but the rate of fire still does not meet the standard that Allen had in mind. In the future, he also plans to build more advanced repeating crossbows, as well as ballistas, ballistas and other war artifacts.
1,000 archers are placed at the forefront by Allen, and are used to damage each other with the opposing projection troops. As for the 2,000 heavy crossbow team, Alan quietly hid them, preparing for a surprise attack at a critical time.
If the other party's canned knights still dare to come, Lao Tzu will shoot them at the range of hedgehogs! Alan shouted fiercely in his heart. The last time the canned cavalry charged, he exchanged his phalanx infantry for a big blood, which made Allen's heart ache.
In terms of cavalry units, there were no major changes.
Due to the high maintenance costs and the need for Allen's troops to turn to motorization, Hannibal's hoplites were slashed and merged with Allen's noble knights to form a 1,000-man heavy cavalry team. Guderian was also a 2,000-strong ranger cavalryman, tasked with support, reconnaissance, or attacking flanks and launching surprise attacks.
All that remained was the conscripted peasant soldiers, who were responsible for transport and logistics. These people were a miscellaneous group of five or six thousand people.
By the way, Allen also created several new units, and they had:
30 Barbarian legions, Legion Commander Barbara.
50 members of the field ambulance team, captain Rosaline.
Siege equipment against 200 people, captain Olli.
100 members of the Knights Hospitaller, Grand Master Ravi.
On the other side, waiting for them was the 30,000 Rollin army that also concentrated the strength of the whole country. There were hoplites, tin knights, archers, and a good commander, Prince Renard Carter. (To be continued.) )
