Chapter 191, Flying Eagle Fortress
"Your Excellency, the Eagle Fortress has arrived, and now this is your station!" Guided by a soldier, Yifei came to a mountain.
Looking at the Eagle Fortress in front of you, it is actually a fortified castle built on a mountain like an eagle spreading its wings.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, when viewed from the side, the whole mountain looks like a right-angled trapezoidal column, and the mountain facing the orcs is exactly right-angled, extremely steep.
I'm going, it's definitely easy to defend and hard to attack! Seeing this scene in front of him, Yifei found that the place Ferdy had arranged for him turned out to be a good place, and he immediately felt overjoyed.
"Thanks, Captain Dick, you'll go back and thank the old man Ferdy for me in a moment, thank you for choosing a good place for me?" After observing the Eagle Fortress in front of him, Yifei said to the soldier who led him.
"Good place?" When the soldier heard Yi Fei's words, he looked at him with some confusion and said, "Your Excellency's words, I will definitely convey them to Marshal Ferdy!" ”
After saying that, the soldier shook his head and left!
Looking at the back of the soldier, Yi Fei was a little puzzled, listening to his tone and looking at his expression, he didn't seem to agree with what he just said, isn't this dangerous place in front of him a good place.
But how could such a treacherous terrain not be a good place than the terrain he had seen all the way to where other legions were stationed?
Yifei thought about it again and again, but he didn't figure it out!
Forget it, whatever, maybe it's a cultural difference, right?
Yifei thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't bother to think about it. It is only to attribute the reason to the difference in the perception of the elements of war between the two worlds.
As the so-called time, place and people, the three elements of the road to success.
Now the location is advantageous. People don't worry, victory is not secure!
At this time, he didn't even notice Hillary's pale face behind him!
After admiring the steep mountain in front of you for a while. He said without looking back: "Hillary, you hurry up and take the soldiers to take over the defense line here and make the corresponding arrangements!" ”
"Yes, my lord!" Hillary respectfully took the order, then turned and walked in the direction of the soldiers!
After a while, a large army came to the bottom of the mountain, and under the command of Hillary and others, they began to take over the entire fortress.
At this time, Yifei stood on the top floor of the fortress, looking at the terrain in the distance. Suddenly something felt wrong.
He carefully observed the terrain around him, and finally noticed that something was wrong, the Flying Eagle Fortress he was in was dangerous, but it was very pitiful that it protruded a little more than the surrounding fortresses, like a protruding platform on a city wall.
As the saying goes, the Flying Eagle Fortress that he took over happened to be the first bird on this defensive line.
And what made him most depressed was that the fortress he was in was a purely defensive fortress, and the entire fortress did not have any exit from the outside world.
That means what it means, means that he brought the soldiers into it. Cavalry was almost useless. Garrisoning this fortress is equivalent to destroying more than half of his own strength.
Only then did he understand why Captain Dick, who had brought him over, had such an expression, this was not a good place at all, not only where the orcs had to attack. Also very limited the attacks of his legions!
As long as the orc army attacks this area, the area they are stationed in is definitely the place they focus on attacking, otherwise they will attack. The area on both sides will be directly exposed under the muzzle.
And he can only rely on the infantry under his command for a dull defense, and the cavalry. Either watch dry, or dismount and be an infantryman!
I'll go. I didn't know that I was cheated, and I stupidly asked him to go back to express his gratitude, which was really stupid!
Thinking of this, Yi Fei was a little depressed, he could imagine what kind of expression the hateful old man would have once Captain Dick relayed his words to Ferdy.
"FUCK, I have to thank others for being played, I'm such an idiot!"
"My lord, what fool did you just say?" At this moment, Yifei heard a voice full of doubts behind him.
Yifei turned around and saw Robbie with Sackford and a few other noble children to the rooftop of the tower, and it was Sackford who spoke.
"Oh, didn't say anything!" Yifei said with a smile on his face to hide his anger.
"My lord, how did we get assigned to the Eagle Fortress?" At this time, Shackford asked with some confusion.
Hearing Sakford's inquiry, and then looking at the worried expressions of several noble children behind him, Yi Fei couldn't help but ask.
"Is there anything else special about this Eagle Fortress?"
"Don't you know, sir? This Eagle Fortress is also known as the Flesh Mill, and every time there is a big battle, the battle on this side is the fiercest, and after each battle, the corpses on this side can be piled up as high as a mountain," Thackford said with a nervous expression.
Hey, it seems that this situation is indeed as I imagined, and the legion stationed here is the one who is the first to attract firepower!
After listening to Shackford's words, Yifei confirmed his conjecture in his heart.
It looks like the rest of the day will not be easy! That cautious-eyed old man, didn't he just say a word to him, and he made such a trick, he really didn't have any stomach, what kind of paladin, it might as well be called a knight!
Thinking of this, Yi Fei's slight affection for Ferdy in his heart suddenly turned into a strong sense of disgust, he looked at the expressions of Sackford and the others, comforted them and said: "Okay, you don't have to worry, what kind of flesh mill, the terrain here is so steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is difficult for the ordinary infantry of the beast clan to climb up, when they are one by one, we will kill one by one, and we will kill one by one."
"My lord, although most of the races of the orcs can only stare dryly when they encounter such terrain, the nezumi legions in the orc army don't care about such terrain at all." Hearing Yifei's comfort, Sackford still said with a worried expression.
"Nezumen? Saxford, how are they strong? "The first time I heard that there was a rat race among the beasts, it immediately broke the impression of the beasts in Yifei's heart. At the same time, I felt a bad feeling in my heart.
"They're not very good, but they're just too numerous. Every year when there is a big war, they are the most numerous."
"Are they all armoured?"
"No. The orcs are so poor, how can they give them armor? ”
If you don't wear armor, then it's just a bunch of farmers!
After hearing Safford's description of the rat clan, Yifei suddenly felt a little less worried, a soldier without armor is a group of farmers for a system soldier, a crusader swordsman can cut him hundreds, no matter how much it is useless.
And he also has a thousand Rangers under his command, which is simply the humanoid Gatling in the humanoid Gatling gun!
But then look at your own defensive zone. Suddenly, the confidence in my heart dropped by half! The defensive area is too wide, and a thousand rangers simply can't hold such a wide area.
Thinking of this, Yi Fei found that he was participating in the autumn battle for the first time, and he was a little inexperienced, and he always wanted to bring some awesome soldiers in a limited number, so he brought too many melee soldiers who were good at it, and ignored the most cost-effective archers in defense.
But at this time, he had no way to change, he could only take one step at a time.
Luckily, he still had a thousand crossbowmen and Roman infantry under his command, and the crossbowmen were not very fast. But it's also a ranged class. With the characteristics of the system and the advantages of defensive buildings, it should be able to exert the strength of far more than a thousand people!
This kind of high-power ranged unit is definitely one stone at a time against those farmers who don't wear armor, and occasionally a sugar gourd.
Not to mention them in iron armor. can also withstand the test of its rain of arrows, with the three hundred doctors in the legion and the awesome legion skills, it is definitely an iron-clad battalion and iron-clad soldiers.
There were also many archers in the Roman legions. As long as sufficient military supplies can be maintained, in such a convenient terrain. It should also be able to protect an area.
Thinking of this, Yifei suddenly let go of more than 100,000 hearts. smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, some rat people, what's there to worry about!" ”
"My lord, it's not some, it's endless."
"Yes, big brother! I heard that every time there is a battle in the fall, the number of nezumi soldiers is the largest."
Seeing that Yi Fei was not worried at all, Safford and the others described the horror of the nezumi warriors in a rambling manner.
"Sir, don't you know Prince Ferdy? Can you tell him about a new location? Shackford asked expectantly.
Changing locations? Yi Fei immediately looked up at him when he heard Saxford's words, and saw that he and several noble children behind him had expectant expressions, and he had a strange idea in his heart.
He smiled and said, "Hehe, who said I knew Prince Ferdy?" ”
"My lord, if you don't know Prince Ferdy, he will propose to let you form a legion of heroes?" Thackford said with a look of disbelief.
Looking at the expressions of Safford and the few people behind him, Yi Fei opened his mouth and said: "Hehe, okay, I admit it, I know him, but I have a grudge against him!" ”
"Hatred?" The others exclaimed in unison.
"My lord, don't play with us, how old are you, how can you have a grudge against him?
"Yes, it's just that there is a grudge, that old man is too self-righteous, I see that he is unhappy, just a few words with him, he assigned me here, how can such a small-bellied person be a friend of our Monroe family!"
"Isn't it? Don't scare us, my lord! Hearing Yifei's words, Sackford and the others suddenly turned white with fright.
They thought they had hugged a thick thigh, but who knew that they were hugged by a cannon!
"Look at your little bit of talent, don't you just offend a self-righteous old man, as for being so afraid!"
"An old man! He's the Imperial God of War, one of the top ten paladins."
"yes, sir, you're kidding, aren't you?"
Safford and the others asked with a look of anticipation.
"What bullshit God of War, he's just a self-righteous old man who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, what's the big deal" (to be continued......
