Chapter 7: Attack!
At this time, Yang Ye was discussing the situation of preparing for war with Christian and Tiberius in the lord's palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Tiberius, how is the recruitment and training of soldiers going?" Yang Ye asked.
"My lord, 560 Roman youths have been recruited, 80 of them are better equipped with sleeveless armor lined with lining, and as for the training, because of the time constraints, they have only been taught to clear the defensive array, but because of the time the other training has not kept up, and the will to fight is relatively weak," Tiberius replied. Hearing the words of the weak will to fight, Christian suddenly said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have the will to fight, they will be warriors standing in the first row, and after a battle, the will to fight will be firm (the Roman legions are indeed new soldiers in front, and veterans are behind)." ”
Christian's incomparably ruthless, but this is also a portrayal of the Roman era, ancient wars are not like in the movies, a light knife to death, often happens is the arm is cut off or stabbed to the non-vital parts, these non-lethal parts, and there will be no happening, more than a dozen knife wounds still insist on fighting, most people will fall to the ground and wail, even including which veterans are the same, don't think that veterans are very 6, in fact, they are easier to survive on this battlefield, The will is also stronger, but not as exaggerated as the heroic scenes in the movie. But veterans can ignore which wails but recruits cannot, and recruits who have not experienced combat can easily collapse to the wails of their teammates. Therefore, there are generally veterans in the back who act as encouragers and supervisors, and the veterans are behind, even if the recruits collapse, it will not cause any irreparable damage to the line, and the most important thing is to reduce the losses of veterans, you must know that every veteran is a very precious property during the war years.
After hearing Christian's words, Yang Ye did not have any uncomfortable reaction, because he was used to it and had to get used to it, this was not a peaceful era, and if he wanted to survive, he had to learn to be ruthless. So Yang Ye then asked, "Christian, how is the situation of the investigation?" "Your Excellency, my lord, I have sent out all the guards, I believe that there should be news in the next two days," as soon as Christian's words were finished, the butler knocked on the door and came in, and saluted Yang Ye: "Your lord, there is one of your guards outside, saying that he has investigated the news of the Dao barbarians."
After hearing the news that there was a barbarian, Yang Ye and the three of them hurriedly cheered up, "Let him come in," Yang Ye said.
Soon after, the knight walked in, Yang Ye and the three looked at him directly, although the knight was not injured, but looking at the blood stains on his armor, he knew that this knight must have experienced a bloody battle, but this was not what Yang Ye and the three of them cared about, Yang Ye took the lead and said: "Where did the barbarians come from?" What is the equipment and training like? ”
Hearing Yang Ye's question, the knight spoke: "Lord Yu, the barbarians are attacking from the 100,000 mountains in the east, I found them all in the dense forests of the 100,000 mountains, as for the equipment, the weapons are messy, but there are a lot of hunting bows, but the lethality is not strong, as for their armor, most of them are only wearing animal skins, only dozens of people are equipped with discordant chain mail, and more than a hundred people are wearing leather armor, and their equipment is not as good as the Gauls. The knight's words were full of disdain for the barbarians, and Yang Ye smiled bitterly after hearing it and thought: Should I say that the soldiers of other lords are not even as good as these barbarians?
"From a hundred thousand mountains, and they are infantry, which means that it takes them at least three days to reach Rome, how much time did it take you from the time you found them to the time you came back to report you?" Tiberius asked the knight at this time.
"About half a day," replied the knight
"That means they're still more than two days away from Rome, do you remember the canyon we saw last time?" Tiberius said
"You mean that funnel-shaped canyon?" Yang Ye said, "That's right, my lord, it will take us a day to reach that canyon, and those barbarians will take more than a day, if we set off now, we should be able to reach that canyon before the barbarians." If we hold back the barbarians in the canyon, then we will avoid the losses caused by the barbarian siege, and with the terrain of the canyon, we will not be worse off if we defend the city than if we defend it. Tiberius said.
Tiberius's words reminded Yang Ye, yes, we can take the initiative and my task has been completed, thinking of the reward of the task, Yang Ye is extremely excited about a family general! So Yang Ye ordered: "Then we will take the initiative!" The whole army set out for the gorge with three days' worth of food, and you go down and prepare" "Obey!" Lord Lord," Tiberius and Christian said, and after saluting, Tiberius and Christian turned around and walked out, and suddenly Yang Ye seemed to think of something, and shouted to Christian: "Christian, you leave a youth army team to be responsible for arranging security work." ”
Christian's face suddenly darkened when he heard Yang Ye's words, and he turned around and wanted to say something to Yang Ye, but he heard Yang Ye continue: "As soon as possible, the guards are assembled, and then come to the battle" After hearing Yang Ye's words, Christian's face immediately turned cloudy, and he replied loudly: "Obey the order, Lord Lord!" After that, I quickly went down to arrange the work.
And Yang Ye came to the door of a small room on the second floor of the Lord's Mansion, looked at this door with complicated eyes, took a deep breath, and pushed open the door, in the room was a piece of armor, a gorgeous black gold armor carved with this beautiful Roman pattern (referring to the propaganda poster of the son of Rome in the game, I am really not good at describing armor), this armor is made of excellent cowhide and steel made by Yang Ye after spending tens of thousands of oceans before crossing, and after buying it back, it has been placed in his room and has crossed with him. Every time he saw this armor, Yang Ye remembered his home far away on the earth, but now was not the time to sigh, Yang Ye quickly put on the armor and walked out of the gate of the lord's mansion, took the reins handed by the servant, turned over and ran towards the barracks.
At this time, in the barracks, in addition to a hundred-man squad of 80 soldiers to maintain law and order, the remaining 960 people have been assembled, waiting for Yang Ye's arrival, Tiberius is anxiously walking back and forth in the barracks, looking at the city gate from time to time, and now he is competing with the barbarians, every minute and every second is very precious. Just when Tiberius couldn't help but look at the city gate again, a voice came from the city gate: "All the army is attacking!" Then a knight in black armor rushed out of the city gate, like a sharp sword, rushing towards the barracks, and when he saw the rushing knight, Tiberius breathed a sigh of relief and shouted back: "All the army attack!" The troops in the barracks finally began to move slowly but surely towards the gorge...... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- somewhere in the 100,000 Mountains, a barbarian army was advancing, and in the center of the force, a stout figure was carrying a skinny barbarian"Didn't you tell me that they only had a group of hundreds of infantry? Tell me what that heavily armed knight was in the morning? "That's right, this skinny barbarian is the same barbarian who sneaked out of Rome to check on the city in the first place.
At this time, the barbarian named Zaka was sweating profusely and explained: "Great Captain Lanur, I want you to swear, they really only have a few hundred troops, this knight may be some kind of big man's guard, and it will definitely not be formed." Hearing Xhaka's explanation, the barbarian named Lanur had a slightly better face, but then threatened: "If you dare to lie to me, you know the consequences!" With that, he threw Xhaka on the ground.
This man named Lanur is one of the plunder captains of the greedy wolf alliance in the four major tribal alliances of the barbarians, his troops have just participated in an attack on a large city in the Canaan Empire, and the harvest is very rich, but the troops have also suffered heavy losses, a force of 15,000 people is left, only 3,600 people are left, and they are no longer able to continue plundering, so they plan to transport the plundered finances back to the greedy wolf alliance, but as soon as they reach the range of 100,000 mountains, they met this greedy wolf alliance named Zaka, and the barbarian told him that there is a nearby town with tens of thousands of people, and there are only a few hundred people to defend the force, This made Lanur tempted, so he temporarily changed his route, intending to raid the town and return to the Alliance, but what Lanur didn't know was that his actions had led the entire raider into the abyss......
