This expedition had 12,000 Iron Fist troops, 1,000 artillery pieces, 12 Iron Fist guns, and countless ammunition. Eleven thousand infantry with flintlock pistols, and a white-coated regiment of fifteen hundred cavalrymen.

The neat turquoise military uniform stretched in a straight line, and the brown horse pulling the cannon pedaled forward.

Wayne had no idea about the war, leaving it up to Beson and Balder.

In this send-off, Wayne wore a rare formal suit, with a flying eagle embroidered with gold thread occupying most of the area of the ground-touching robe, a hollowed-out gold flower hanging on his chest, and boots made of Ortuno cowhide and boots.

All over the body reflect Wayne's noble status. In contrast, the two generals who were about to go on the expedition were much simpler, with the same green clothing as the soldiers, simple cloth shoes, and well-fitting cuffs. It is the epaulettes that are different from ordinary soldiers, the three stars sandwiched by two threads, that show the positions of these two people. On the battlefield, the better you dress, the faster you die. Especially with the advent of artillery, everyone is eager to kill the opponent's commander with one shot.

So don't dress gorgeously, like Wayne is the object of the artillery's focus on the battlefield.

"I don't have me with you on this expedition, don't make contradictions. ”

"No, no, I'm familiar with Brother Balder. ”

Besson smiled sheepishly.

Balde, who was hugged by the shoulder, was a little uncomfortable, but he had to laugh with him in order to cooperate with Beson.

Wayne asked.

"Then who do you say you listen to when you disagree? ”

Beson didn't hesitate and immediately replied.

"Then I'll listen to my brother Bald. ”

If Wayne believed it, there would be a ghost, and Balder wouldn't take it seriously. This guy Bessen is so strong that he can't pull ten cows, and he still listens to Bald's ghost.

But this trip Wayne just wants these two to have a good run-in, and to train more middle-level non-commissioned officers. With the further expansion of the army, these middle-level non-commissioned officers will now be promoted to the upper echelons, and they will see the blood and temper themselves.

Wayne commanded.

"Remember that this time is about victory, not large-scale destruction. This time, we are teaching a lesson to those disobedient nobles, not to pull hatred. ”

Balder nodded in unison with Beson.

"That's for sure, I know best about our group of soldiers, and we don't take a stitch from the masses. Compared with that group of soldiers and bandits, he is a proper model pacesetter. ”

"The white-clothed regiment doesn't have to worry about it, I usually don't discipline less. ”

Wayne thought about it, it would be funny if this kind of thing could happen if he had been educating himself for so long.

"But don't be nervous, you two, don't worry if you lose. I'm on top. ”

Balder chimed in.

"Even if we lose, we will not be ashamed to lose. Shen Jianjiang will definitely take it. ”

Besson lowered his voice and pretended to be shy.

"Eh, I don't know who complained yesterday. "Shen Jianjiang is so difficult, I can't get by, I won't play this time." ”

Balde was told that he was embarrassed, and a blush appeared on his face, but he didn't want to be embarrassed, and immediately stammered with a red neck.

"Master Wayne, I... No. ”

The relaxed atmosphere among the coaches can give the army a lot of confidence, and Wayne is happy to do it.

"Okay, okay, you don't give Bald face. When you were his age, you didn't know where to catch some little thieves. ”

"That's it. Be. ”

Beson immediately argued.

"How can it be called catching a thief, that is called maintaining law and order. Besides, it takes kung fu to catch a thief, and a tendon like Balder can't even touch the side of the thief, let alone arrest. ”

Wayne really didn't want to watch these two living treasures fight each other.

"Okay, okay, let's go, let's go, I'm upset to see you two. ”

Besson exclaimed.

"Hey, it's not annoying to see Audrey. You say it's not weird. ”

Balder replied subconsciously.

"That's not weird, it's all one nose and two ears. ”

Wayne was about to kick him in, and Bald and Besson immediately mounted their horses and rode away.

Once the war starts, the gold coins are like flowing water, and the daily trade lost due to the war is an astronomical amount, not to mention a long transportation line to supply the army.

During this period, some ill-intentioned merchants took advantage of the opportunity to make war profits. For example, the price of food has risen, the price of salt has soared, and some special meat has become a luxury.

Of course, Wayne didn't intend to let these businessmen succeed, the war wouldn't last long, and the Nolan government had more than enough stock. At Wayne's instructions, Obens took Nolan's stock to parity with the merchant's madness.

Therefore, Nolan could only feel that the food on the market was still expensive the day before, and it fell wildly two days later, which was almost the same as the original price.

Of course, this will also make those businessmen dissatisfied, and block people's money like killing their parents.

But so what, Wayne is Wayne, not just an aristocrat.

The Shenjian River can be said to be the source of the Northwest Canal of Rune, and the river water is turbulent between the cliffs on both sides.

More than 20 meters from the river, there was originally a suspension bridge made of iron cables, but it was recently demolished. The cliffs on both sides of the strait are separated by about fifty meters, and if it weren't for the three ice magicians who forcibly froze the Shenjian River, even this chain bridge would not have been built.

Beisen didn't have an ice mage, and finally a fire mage ran away, not to mention any mages participating in the war.

The worse news was that a large number of artillery crossbow bolts were placed on the opposite side. Can inflict a large number of casualties on your allies.

The only thing to be thankful for is that due to the narrow intersection, it is impossible for the other side to deploy too many troops, as long as they have an infantry crossing the Shenjian River, then there will be a long line of troops to reach the opposite side. Moreover, the opponent's artillery has not been systematically trained by the Iron Fist Army, and the accuracy of the artillery needs to be tested.

Of course, soldiers don't fight unprepared battles, and Beson and Balder are ready to overcome this level.

The advent of artillery will completely change the face of warfare, not only in terms of casualties, but also in terms of operational tactics.

The general stationed in Shen Jianjiang was called Coburn, a cautious and experienced general. If you want to talk about offensive skills, he must pass the level. But if you want to talk about defensive skills, it deserves the word first-class.

Fifty-four-year-old Coburn is not like other generals who hope to make achievements on the battlefield, and he has seen too many unwilling people whose hearts are higher than the sky and whose lives are thinner than paper. His only hope is to retire peacefully and keep this family business. I guess that's why he's good at defending.

Enders didn't care what Cockburn thought, he just needed someone who could be trusted, someone who could reassure him. Cockburn's old and steady is undoubtedly the best candidate.

The Shen Jian River was already a natural danger, and if the Iron Fist Army planned to force the river, it would cause unimaginable casualties. The rushing water, the muzzles of the black holes, and the uninterrupted bolts of crossbow arrows will sink this iron fist lower.
