Chapter 266: Night Battle (1)
Fine raindrops are constantly falling from the night sky, and in the late autumn and early winter season, there is still such weather in the Death Fjord, which seems quite abnormal in previous years, and for the soldiers on the front line, the winter raindrops are the most torturous.
Since the Rorschach Pass has experienced a battle between the Boer Collar and the Roya Collar, it has become an uninhabited ruin, and all the people of the Rorschach Pass have come to the Lebol Collar, and some people may have some grievances, but after enjoying the tax rate policy of the Boer Collar, they have no complaints at all.
However, the geographical location of the Rorschach Pass is quite sensitive for the Roa Collar and the Bol Collar, after the last time the Rorschach Pass was moved, the two lords were also torn apart, the Rorschach Pass had no walls, only the ruins of the houses that still existed, and soon after escorting this group of merchants to the Bol Territory, Planck returned to the Pass with a group of soldiers.
Dark night. There was no moonlight, only faint starlight twinkling, and the clouds were so thick that the starlight was often blocked by the clouds. Around the Rorschach Gate, it was so dark that you could barely see your fingers. Silence, unusually silent, no insect cries, no sounds of mosquitoes, rats and ants crawling, as if all the creatures here had completely disappeared. Or all the creatures here. They were all aware of some special situation and did not dare to make the slightest sound. Only the cold wind that whistles from time to time blows and makes people's hearts tremble. Fight in such cold weather. It's really painful, the armor made of steel, touching the muscles, the biting coldness, is definitely not something ordinary people can bear.
For the soldiers of the Deathfjord, this is again something they have to endure.
Planck lurked behind the wall like a cheetah. The lines didn't move, and the two eyes shone with a pale green glow. In front of him, a faint light could be seen, and at night, Planck would raise a campfire near the direction of Roya's lead, in order to detect a possible enemy attack at any time. Behind that open field, more and more Roya Leader soldiers had begun to gather.
The Rorschach Pass is too close to the Loya Lord, and it is simply living under the nose of the Roa Lord, and the people of the Roya Collar hate this place, but now this place is occupied by the people of the Boer Lord, and the follow-up troops are likely to use this place as a springboard to directly attack the city of the Roa Lord, so there is destined to be a big war here.
Planck was convinced that Roya's army would attack at night. As for why he had such thoughts, he didn't know himself, maybe he had served as an officer in Royaling, or if he had been by Ron and Merial's side for a long time, and had formed some kind of unconscious intuition.
It sounded strange and funny to do something to the troops he had served, but Planck did not have a hint of awkwardness in his heart, the people of Boer were living quite happily, and under the rule of Ron and Meria, Planck was sure that the people and army of Boer were treated the best, at least within the confines of the Fjord of Death. And in an environment like Deathfjord, it's not uncommon for people to change their courts, and everyone wants to pursue a happier and more reliable life, and the military is no exception.
Beside him, there were dozens of heavily armed Boer Collar soldiers, who also hid behind the wall, staring nervously and cautiously into the darkness ahead. Each of them had two weapons, one was a longbow and the other was a longknife. The reason why they are not equipped with crossbow arrows is because in such open terrain engagements, the range of crossbow arrows is difficult to effectively suppress the enemy, and the soldiers of Boer City, after training by Kiru, are quite skilled in archery.
However, these troops are not the elite troops of the Boer Territory, they are all just enlisted in the army, when the Second Army of Beilu is preparing to invade, these soldiers have just enlisted in the army, and they are not rich in combat experience, and some of them are refugees from other cities, but some of them are soldiers of the Guard.
The soldiers of these pro-guard units, whether it is weapons and equipment, or daily training, receive the best resources in the entire Boer territory. Meria assigned the soldiers of these guards to the units below, where they could teach the recruits combat skills and combat experience.
"Captain, I'm back!"
At this time, a dozen soldiers of Boer City suddenly appeared in the darkness, and one of the leaders ran to Planck's side with an excited face and gave a military salute.
"How's it going, are you all done?"
"Captain, we've got it all right, and once the enemy passes over there, we're sure they'll be well pleased. The soldier's face suddenly froze with excitement: "My lord, are we really going to fight with Luo Yaling......'s army?" They are also our compatriots in the Principality of Noah. ”
"Boy, I ask you, what do you think of our Bol Lord's treatment? If I remember correctly, your parents should also live in Bol City. Planck said in a deep voice.
"Yes...... Yes. The soldier hesitated: "Although our army is a little harder, it is well treated." ”
"What do you think of your parents' lives in Bolling?" Planck asked rhetorically, "Are there any other places in the Principality of Noah that have such a tax policy?"
"Nope. ”
"Isn't that the end of it, are you going to go to Roa with your family to live a tenfold tax life, or are you going to stay in our Bol territory?
"Captain, I see!" the soldier's eyes became firm again: "We can definitely defeat the enemy!"
"Go to your own combat position. Planck waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to disperse.
Rorschach's place was small and could not accommodate too many troops, so there were only more than 300 people led by Planck, in fact, even if the place was very large, Planck could not increase his troops much. The manpower of the Boer Commander is too tight, not only to arrange the reconstruction and defense of Yod Town and Hamp City, but even some houses in Boer City are still under construction, and even Planck's troops are actually improvised and have not yet been clearly attributed. This made Planck feel a little unhappy, as if he had been abandoned, and he felt that Meria seemed to have the intention of giving up the Rorschach Pass, otherwise how could he only arrange for 300 people to defend it? Can 300 people defend this pass? Of course it is impossible. You have to find the latest chapters by yourself to read books?
