Chapter 282: Rushing !!
Since the equipment for the tents had already been prepared, the Romans did not have to rush to build the camp of the garrison. In just half a day, rows of tents had been erected on the plains of the southern coast of Britain, and the Romans could gain a foothold by cutting down trees and erecting outer walls around the camps.
"My lord, most of our construction work is underway, and we can let the soldiers in." Adjutant General Yugris reports to Stirico, who is in charge of the construction of the camp.
"Hmm." Stirico nodded, the process of setting up camp had been going on for so long, but there was no movement on the British side, and it seemed that he realized that his side had already made enough preparations to give up the attack. "Ordered the soldiers, hurry up and get ready, and stay in the camp...... By the way, urge the woodcutters to speed up, I want to see the intact faΓ§ade protecting the camp before dark. β
When they invested a large number of soldiers to build the camp just now, the Britons did not take the opportunity to sneak attack, and now that the camp is built, there is no chance. However, even if King Arthur would have taken advantage of their distraction to build a camp to attack, it would not hurt that Stiliko had already prepared an army to defend against the British fortress on the opposite side.
At the slightest movement, the waiting Roman army would intercept the attacking British army. In this way, King Arthur's attack will not only not work, but will be completely annihilated. Under this premise, Stirrico can safely let his soldiers stay in the camp.
"Yes, sir." Yugris couldn't change his name for Stiriko, and he didn't know if it was intentional. After receiving the order, he urged the Roman soldiers to enter the newly built camp to reorganize. At the same time, personnel were sent to urge the auxiliaries to cut down and transport timber to speed up.
Groups of Roman soldiers entered the camp and were assigned their tents to rest. The large-scale landing operation in the morning made their minds tense, after all, it was not a machine, and a long period of tension would naturally be tiring. As soon as they entered the tent, the Roman soldiers took off their armor and gulped down the dry food they had carried.
Anyway, there are naturally guards outside the camp, and they don't have to worry about safety, so it's important to take a break and recover their strength to deal with tomorrow's battle.
Just as Stilico was about to go into his own camp to rest after thinking that everything was arranged, the herald who suddenly broke into his camp lifted his heart again.
"Boss, the Britons are on their way."
"What ?!!" Stirrico secretly regretted that he had chosen this time. However, he didn't worry too much, he had already prepared the soldiers to intercept him, and with the strength of the Britons, even if he attacked, it would not be a big deal. "Come out with me to command the battle, and call Yugris for me by the way."
βββββ the British sideβββββ
Mordred led a team of 2,000 men out of the fortress and moved quickly towards the Roman camp opposite. The attack is to take the opponent by surprise, and once the opponent reacts, the attack can basically be declared a failure. So, the speed of the march is crucial.
Mordred's soldiers were all under his command. Back in Mordred's own domain, she valued the training of her knights. Mordred often led his soldiers in exercises, so the excellence of the soldiers could be said to be very strong among the soldiers under King Arthur's feudal lords and knights.
The exercise was very good, but the teams that transported food back and forth in Mordred's territory suffered, which was the most important thing to say about the small back-to-back pot who had lost food and grass and was even captured by Mordred. Mordred was a little ashamed to say that what his knights were best at was not running and fighting, but hiding and ............ Robbery.
But in line with the principle of running and running, Mordred focused on training his bandits...... The knights were running fast. Therefore, the speed of the attack greatly exceeded the expectations of the Roman soldiers who intercepted on the opposite side, and even the knights of the round table watching the battle on the fortress and their own father were amazed and amazed.
"I thought Mordred would just eat." Gao Wen, who was emitting white smoke on his head, said sourly, he was electrocuted by Mordred just now because he was fighting with Mordred for the place to attack.
"Hmm." Artoria looked at the figure in the lead, and agreed, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled into Merlin's eyes.
If it is a novel such as the Three Kingdoms, at this time, the sentence "This is my tiger!" "More appropriate.
Because the Roman camp was not far from the fortress held by Artoria's side, Mordred's raid did not take much time on the road. It was only when Mordred made it all the way to the Romans' tent that the Romans counterattacked, and the two armies collided.
"Ahh Mordred wielded the great sword in his hand, constantly cutting down the Roman soldiers in front of him. Looking at the panicked Roman soldiers in the camp not far away, Mordred's heart became impatient. If you can't take advantage of the fact that most of the Romans in the camp don't have time to put on their armor, and wait for the other party to get ready, I'm afraid that I'm going to be cold here.
"Roaring thunder and lightning lion!! Mordred didn't hesitate to release the Noble Phantasm. [Note: Because Mordred's current Noble Phantasm is not a shining King Sword, there is no setting to remove the helmet to release the Noble Phantasm, so you don't have to worry about revealing your identity.] γ
The massive scarlet-hued pillar of thunder roared like an enraged lion through the Roman soldiers' formations in front of them, making it difficult for the Romans to encircle Mordred again. Leading the knights behind him, Mordred fought his way out of the siege of the Romans who came to intercept him. Quickly shook off the Roman army and slaughtered the camp.
"Britons, here !!" The Romans in the camp were not ready when they saw the Britons attacking and slay through their own blocking army. The Romans, who thought they were at ease, panicked all of a sudden. But the short time was not enough for them to put on the unloaded armor, and in the blink of an eye, the Britons were killed in front of them.
A figure wearing a helmet with hideous horns and heavy armor is particularly conspicuous.
I saw him (she) wave his hand and command the two thousand knights behind him. "Set fire to the camp of the Romans!"
The British knights then lit the front end of the specially prepared arrows and threw them at the Roman camp. The Roman camp was in flames in an instant, and countless Roman soldiers fled in a hurry.
Mordred raised his sword alof, "Follow me into the camp of the Romans and charge!" God bless Great Britain!! God bless King Arthur!! β
"God bless Great Britain! God bless King Arthur!! The knights shouted slogans and slaughtered the Romans one by one.
