Section 13 Weaknesses
Billis did not expect that the army he had planted on the border would be under the bloodless income of Kang Tuoyi's soldiers, and the last foreign aid vassal loyal to him was also killed by the Calvin chief, and the cavalry he came to ask for help was also killed in the melee, but Kang Tuoyi did not take this army to Rostock, but collected the booty and armor in the woods and returned to Bilis's territory, he wanted to occupy the magpie's nest and take advantage of Bilis's expedition to subdue the nobles loyal to Bilis, Those arrogant leaders and nobles are people who only recognize strength, and it may be difficult to convince without an army in their hands.
Just as Kang Tuoyi led Calvin's army out of the border, Bilis, who was anxiously waiting in the Rostock Valley, did not realize that his army on the border no longer existed, and he was concentrating on Arrod's attack.
"Whoosh, whoosh." Arrows flew in front of the two armies like locusts, javelins and arrows intertwined, and the muffled sound of breaking through the air and hitting the human body, as well as the sound of screams and wails.
The Slavic javelinmen under Bilis, condescendingly shot javelins at the combined forces of Arold and Marty who were trying to attack on their backs, and Arrod's crossbowmen were not to be outdone, while following the soldiers with shields, they took a few steps to shoot crossbows at the crossbow, stopped and pulled the crossbow strings with their feet on the pedal holsters at the front of the crossbow, pressed the crossbow arrows, and continued to shoot at the crossbows.
"Boom~~~." In order to assist in the attack, Arold ordered his catapults to line up as well, and smashed them in the direction of the Bilisian camp. At the beginning, the soldiers of Biliss were frightened to avoid the stones flying over, but the soldiers of the attacking side took the opportunity to force forward, but soon the soldiers of Biliss found that the accuracy of these catapults was not high, although the stones whistling by were very scary, but the complex terrain and rocks in the valley provided too many shelters for the soldiers, so that the lethality of the catapults was reduced a lot, and they were not afraid, and sometimes they also summed up the ability to stare at the direction of the stones in the sky to dodge.
"Shield." Bilis watched as the coalition forces approached with spears and swords. shouted to his own soldiers. The soldiers of Bilisi immediately formed a dense shield formation and pointed their spears at the enemy down the mountain.
"Charge." The attacking coalition soldiers, also urged by the generals, screaming with their spears in their mouths, and rushed towards Bilis's army with swords in their hands. The people on both sides collided like two tides coming together. The Germanic swordsmen of Arrod, sword wielding, sharpened the tips of their spears that protruded from the shield wall. Not to be outdone, the soldiers of Bilisi in the shield wall stabbed with their spears, and the sound of fighting and the clinking of weapons echoed in the valley, and the clouds in the valley seemed to be shocked by the murderous scene. A misty drizzle fell from the clouds.
"The offense doesn't seem to be going well." Sir Ben stood in the camp with Arrod, the rain falling on his chain mail, and the armor woven from iron rings shone brightly, because of the terrain, their attack was not smooth, and Biliss was condescending and on the defensive, which could be said to have taken advantage of the geographical advantage, and soon the soldiers of the coalition army were panting and retreating, and the cheers of victory on Bilis's side could be heard in the valley.
"It's inevitable that the first attack won't go well." Arold looked at the retreating soldiers, and found that he had a feeling that he couldn't use his strength in front of the location, and if he continued to consume, he was afraid that it would increase the factor of defeat.
"Why don't you let the knights try to attack once?" Sir Ban suggested that the average soldier would not be able to break through the defensive line set up by Bilis, and perhaps only the elite knights would be able to break through their defense.
"No, I haven't figured out Bilis's intentions yet, and the knights must be conserved in strength." Arold shook his head, he had always been cautious in his use of troops, using the most ingenious methods to save troops, although he had learned that there had been a major change in Bilis's territory, but he also wanted to prevent Bilis from leaving a follow-up move.
Before they knew it, several attacks organized in succession were repulsed, and the sky gradually darkened, so that both sides had to withdraw their troops and return to the camp, and the bonfires lit on both sides were like stars in the sky, and the soldiers sat around the campfires eating food, chatting with each other to relieve the pain of the daytime war, the generals gathered in the sovereign's tent to think about how to deal with the enemy, and Arold's tent gathered his generals and courtiers.
"Lord Earl, it is better for me to personally lead the knights to ride and assault tomorrow, and the infantry will follow the cavalry, which will surely give the hateful heretics a taste of power." Sir Ben clenched his fists, but the wound on his arm made him grin involuntarily, the knight's charge was indeed extremely powerful, but he completely forgot that the enemy was on the hillside, and when the horses rushed up, there was no acceleration to charge, and the infantry would also be physically exhausted when they climbed the hillside, while the soldiers of Biliss were waiting for work, which was also the reason why several attacks were blocked during the day.
"I think it's still dominated by a phalanx of spears, slowly approaching the enemy, with cavalry and other light infantry flanking support." John Berg is worthy of being a mercenary, and his idea is quite practical, Arold couldn't help but nod when he heard it.
"Actually, both of them have good ideas, although the knight riding a horse is not able to charge the enemy formation because of the terrain obstruction, but he can get off the horse and fight on foot to save physical strength, the phalanx infantry continues to approach can cause psychological pressure on them, the only thing to be careful about is the Ward Warrior." Arold was more than afraid of these elite warriors who were heavily armoured, and their physical strength and combat skills were far greater than those of ordinary soldiers, and if they hadn't been in the way every time they got in the way at a critical moment, they wouldn't have been able to rout so quickly.
"Indeed, those Ward warriors with tomahawks have now become a nightmare for the soldiers." Sir Ben and John Berg also frowned involuntarily, they were not completely sure of getting rid of those Ward warriors, Sir Ben shook the wrist of his right hand with his left hand.
"Well, you guys go down first, I'll figure it out." Arold felt that the key to the discussion at this time was how to get rid of the worst trump card in Billis's hands, and he needed to quietly consider how to get rid of those dangerous Ward warriors. So let everyone retreat first.
"Is there any way to consume the strength of the Ward warriors, there must have been such a battle in ancient times." When the courtiers left, Arold paced in the tent, the only thing he could surpass the nobles of this era was a thousand years of experience and war examples, but perhaps it was too tired, his mind was like a mess, and just when he was anxious, someone suddenly spoke outside the tent.
"Who is it?" Arrod asked distraughtly.
"It's Ms. Marty." When the valet lifted the curtain of the tent, it was Lady Marty, the ruler of Weltyshire, and Arold wondered why she was looking for her at this time. But I still walked out of the tent.
"I'm sorry, Lord Arrod. I was worried that the attack didn't go well during the day. Marty was dressed in a small scale armor, which was put on top of a long red dress, and he already had eye-catching red hair, which set off his white skin quite gorgeously.
"Yes. I have just consulted with the courtiers. I'd like to hear from you. Let's talk as we go. Arold straightened his armor, the plate armor on his arm was removed, and he wore only one piece of chain mail. He motioned for Marty to walk outside the camp, followed by his retinue and attendants in the distance.
"Bilis is a very warlike man, and he seemed to have underestimated us in the last battle on the plains, but now he will definitely give it his all, so Lord Earl we must be more careful." Marty said to Arold as he walked, and they passed the campfire where the soldiers had been fighting all day, and at this time the well-off family was drowsy wrapped in a shabby wool blanket, and the poor family was lying on the ground with his shoulders on his shoulders and slept.
"We'll do our best, too, and by the way, Madam Marty Billis is your father's brother, and you must know him well, so does he have any weaknesses?" Arold asked.
"This~~." When Arold asked about Billis, Marty stopped and her face became a little complicated, she hesitated for a moment as if she had made up her mind, turned her body to the direction of Billis's camp and said, "Billis, Kang Tuoyi and my father are the three sons of the Grand Chief of Melkellenburg, they all have their own advantages and specialties, my father likes to do business with merchants, and is always curious about new things, Kang Tuoyi is brave, and the Earl should know very well that he has fought with him, He was also well liked in the Great Emirates and was known as a hero. And Bilisi is fair, he was originally a fair and order-advocating nobleman, in Walgast County has the only Council of Elders in the entire Great Emirate, where can people find fair trials and rulings, but he is also a very suspicious nobleman, I used to visit his court with my father and mother when I was a child, my father and Biliss had a good relationship with Billis, during the banquet Billis threw a servant from the tower and fell to his death because he suspected that the servant was trying to poison him. ”
"Oh, but why would he give his territory to his wife, Lady Angelia, who, as a cunning and suspicious ruler, ought to trust anyone." Arold asked curiously.
"That's because he feels indebted to his wife." Marty replied to Arold that there was a story and an inside story in it, but Arold didn't plan to continue asking, and the sky gradually fell into darkness, and the cold wind blew on everyone in the middle of the night.
"Suspicious people will be very cautious, where is this weakness, is it simply an advantage? Could it be that he is Cao Cao and will kill people in his dreams. The information that Arold heard from Marty made him feel even more troubled, and it seemed that the night attack plan could not be used, and suddenly he seemed to have caught something, which made him stand on the spot, and his eyes were fixed on the camp of Bilis.
"What do you think of, Lord Arrod?" Marty looked at Arrod's appearance and asked curiously.
"Ha Lu Ha, I know what to do, thank you, Lady Marty, for making me think of a way to defeat the enemy." Arrod said to Marty with a smile, and Lady Marty looked at the ecstatic Arrod for some reason, but just stared at Arrod who strode away.
"Lord Count, why are you here?" While Sir Ben was asleep in his tent, Arold untied his tent and woke the knight, causing the knight to rub his sleepy eyes and speak dissatisfied.
"Get up quickly, let everyone else come to see me in my tent, I have thought of a good way to defeat the enemy." Arold said to Sir Ben with an excited face, and without waiting for the knight to answer, he left the tent and went to his tent to wait for his courtiers.
While the courtiers yawned and questioned each other as they entered the tent, Arold had been waiting for them for a long time, and when he saw his right-hand men gathered together, he announced in a loud voice to the people.
"My most loyal courtiers, I have thought of a way to defeat Bilis, and you must obey my command and arrangement." (To be continued......)
