Chapter 297: On the eve of the Great War

There were really a lot of troops coming, and they gradually poured out from behind the horizon, and soon covered a large clearing.

Hu Ye observed with the binoculars he brought, and found that most of the soldiers were wearing cotton armor, and chain mail was considered a luxury ornament. Only a few knights wore plate armor, which stood out in the army.

Seeing this, Hu Ye whispered to Vanessa beside him: "Wait for those knights wearing plate armor to be the key targets." If you want to kill, kill the officer first, those ordinary soldiers are not the target of snipers! ”

Vanessa was carrying an M16 on her back and an eye-catching Barrett in front of her, looking heroic. Coupled with a little charm after becoming a new wife, she looks more beautiful than usual.

However, the female thief at this time was very serious, looked at the approaching army with frowns, and nodded lightly: "I know, you can rest assured." ”

Knight Brown was also using a telescope to observe the enemy troops, and soon said in surprise: "No, there are not only the flags of Count Rose here, but also the flags of Duke Stone and Marquis George. Gosh, and the Viscount of Lyon, the Duke of Paul, the Marquis of Bernie...... This is a combined army, not the army of Count Ross's family! ”

Looking at the more and more soldiers on the horizon, Hu Ye nodded lightly and said, "I'll just say, how can a single earl afford to raise so many soldiers." The last time he sent someone to deal with the Phidia Brotherhood, it was only about two hundred people. Over here...... At least three or four thousand! ”

"I estimate that it will be around five thousand, and the error will not exceed five hundred." After all, the Brown Knight is a professional, and quickly gave a more accurate number: "But the number of knights among them is a bit large, at least eight hundred." ”

In the World of Warcraft, the battle between the lords was already very impressive, but Hu Ye's heart did not fluctuate. He is a person who has experienced the world of Resident Evil and the world of Star Troopers, whether it is zombies or zergs, it is densely packed all over the ground. In comparison, there are only 5,000 people, and it is not even a skirmish.

So Hu Ye had a relaxed expression and smiled faintly at the Brown knight: "In the face of our absolute firepower, is there any difference between a knight and an ordinary soldier?" ”

The Brown Knight was right when he thought about it, and shook his head with a wry smile: "You're right, I shouldn't use the standards of traditional warfare to evaluate the enemy, in the face of powerful firepower, personal bravery is no longer of much use." ”

Hu Ye shook his head and said, "You can't say that, weapons and people who use weapons are equally important." You can imagine what would happen if a group of knights were to use our weapons against a group of ordinary people. ”

Brown Knight thought for a while, and couldn't help but nod and said, "You're right, people are still very important in war!" ”

While Hu Ye and Knight Brown were observing the enemy army, Count Rose on the opposite side was also observing Baishi Village.

Speaking from the heart, the size of White Rock Village surprised Count Ross very much. Although he had long learned about the situation in Baishi Village from various sources, he thought that those descriptions were just exaggerations, and that Baishi Village was only a relatively well-developed village at best. But after witnessing it with his own eyes, Count Rose learned that the village of White Rock was even richer than the legend said.

Just looking at the tall walls makes Shiraishi Village look more like a city than a village. Thinking of this, Count Rose was hot, as long as he could break through Baishi Village, he would definitely get no less benefits. Even if it's just that magical material, the method of making cement, can make him a lot of money.

However, the walls of Baishi Village are so tall that it may cost a lot to break through the village. Thinking of this, Count Rose was also secretly glad that he had brought in the armies of the other lords, and now that the strength in his hands was very strong, it should not be difficult to break through this village.

Of course, doing so will definitely divide the benefits somewhat. However, in the opinion of Count Rose, it is always right to be cautious, and not to lose all your money for the sake of a little profit.

A few months ago, Count Ross had lost more than 200 soldiers in Mooncreek Town, as well as two loyal knights, and the strength of the territory was seriously damaged. He no longer wants to suffer such a big loss, and would rather share some of the benefits than find someone to share the risk.

A knight rode up to Count Ross and said respectfully, "Lord Earl, the other lords have asked you to come over and discuss the policy of the war. ”

"I'll go over here." Count Rose nodded slightly, and soon met with several other lords who had joined the battle.

According to the tradition of the Kingdom of Stormwind, whoever calls for war is the commander, and the other nobles only play a helping role. Therefore, although several lords were higher in title than Count Ross, he deservedly became the commander-in-chief of this war.

Although the other lords were also surprised by the tall walls of Shiraishi Village, and thought that it was indeed surprising that such a tall wall could be built in a small village, they felt second only to Shiraishi Village.

In the eyes of the lords, no matter how rich Baishi Village is, it is not their opponent. The strength of more than 4,000 soldiers and hundreds of knights is enough to destroy a small country. What's more, there is an unexpected mysterious force in the army, and it is easy to destroy a small village chief.

There are many lords who even feel that Count Rose is making a bit of a fuss, and he doesn't need such a big scene at all, as long as he relies on his own army, he can easily take Baishi Village.

So at the pre-war meeting, everyone seemed a little absent-minded. They also have an indifferent attitude towards what tactics to adopt. In their opinion, as long as the army is pressed, they can take Baishi Village in a few hours, and no matter what tactics are used, the result is almost the same.

So the lords quickly decided to attack in the most formal way. That is, let the army disperse, surround the entire village of Shiraishi, and then choose a direction to attack.

The order was quickly conveyed, and more than five thousand soldiers dispersed and surrounded the village of Shiraishi, waiting for the order to attack.

In fact, with the current scale of Baishi Village, more than 5,000 people cannot be encircled at all. The so-called encirclement, that is, sending small teams of soldiers to patrol around Shiraishi Village, as long as no one escapes.

And the vast majority of the army, still concentrated in one direction, is ready to attack.

Seeing that the enemy was gathering about a thousand paces from the village, the soldiers of Baishi Village were ready to fight. They didn't have the slightest idea of timidity at all, but they were all high-spirited, which made Hu Ye feel very satisfied.

It was at this time that Count Ross ordered the soldiers to beat the drumbeat of the attack, and the war officially began.
