Chapter 267: Night Battle (2)
But since arriving at the Rorschach Pass, Planck told himself that he must defend this place, and unless he died, the enemy would not want to step into the Rorschach Pass. The Rorschach Pass is held at the throat leading to the Roya Territory, and it is also the throat leading to the Boer Territory, and whoever can occupy this place can hoard troops and horses here as a transit point for attacking the opponent's territory.
"Captain Planck, do you think Roya's army is really coming to attack us?" a warrior asked in a low voice in the darkness. His voice trembled slightly. I couldn't see the warrior's face. But Planck thought he must be a little pale. The hand holding the weapon may have been quietly trembling as well. This is different from the defense of the city, when they are in the city of Boer, they still have tall and strong fortifications to rely on, and the enemy's arrows can be resisted by the battlements, but here, it is a frontal fight with the opponent.
Planck glanced at this soldier, due to the lack of manpower in Boer City, there are also soldiers in it who are directly composed of refugees from all over the country, I have to say. This is a rather tragic matter. The brutal truth shows. They are warriors like this. The survival rate on the battlefield is very low.
"Yes. Planck said quietly. Instead of hiding the enemy's situation, deceive the other party. It's better to tell each other bluntly and let the other party be mentally prepared as soon as possible. Now that we have come to the battlefield, we must be fully mentally prepared and have the determination to go out. If you want to survive, you can only fight your way out. In these chaotic times, there are wars everywhere, and no place is absolutely safe unless you want to live like a dog.
In front of Planck, there was a bundle of untied arrowheads. All of these were recovered and captured during the Battle of Boer. During the siege of the city, the Belu fired a large number of arrows at the city of Boer, which was very numerous. Now most of the troops in the Boer Territory use this kind of arrow, and it has to be said that the arrows forged by the Belu people are more penetrating and lethal. In such darkness, if the enemy attacks. Planck can be regardless of whether there is a target in front of him. Cast them all to your heart's content. In fact, Meria had also told Planck about the mission that their goal was to shoot all the arrows.
Around the Rorschach Pass, Planck had arranged for his soldiers to strengthen the fortifications. There are a lot of messy iron rods stuck in the ground in front of you, which is an effective tool to prevent the enemy's ladder from advancing. If the enemies of Luo Ya led were carrying the ladder, they would definitely be blocked by these subway strips that were deeply embedded in the ground, and these irregular subway strips just blocked the way in a straight line. In this chaotic formation, the ladder can't turn around. This strange iron rod formation also has the advantage of being able to effectively block the attack of the enemy's cavalry. Of course, this usefulness cannot be waved for the time being, because if you want to surprise at night, you will not need cavalry.
Originally, there were no walls here, and the ground around it was very empty. But they spent a few nights building a long wall around the core of the Rorschach Gate. Although the wall is only more than two meters high, it is very strong. Of course, the scope of protection of this fence. is very limited. Planck had only about 300 men and could not defend a large area. As for the outside of the walls, Planck had prepared ample gifts for the enemy.
Maybe it's the wait too long, maybe the tense nerves are too tense, and the air around you is really suffocating. Some fighters want to relax and unwind. Without words, he said, "Captain, why don't you say the enemy has come?"
Planck looked at the darkness in the distance and seemed to say to himself, "They're coming." If they want to attack Boer City, they must first occupy this pass, so they will definitely come. Listen, is it unusually quiet tonight, as if all the sounds have disappeared? It's a very bad omen, I've been a soldier for so many years, and before every big battle, there is a lot of silence all around. I think it's very likely that the enemy will attack tonight. ”
The warrior next to him nodded as if he didn't understand, and his breathing was noticeably heavier. It can be seen that they are all a little nervous, in such a cold weather, their palms, their backs, are sweating.
"Every new soldier who has just entered the battlefield will be nervous, don't panic, even when I first entered the battlefield, I was also nervous, I remember when I was still in the Roya Collar, when I was a recruit under Captain Ginny, even before the battle, I kept running into the grass, and I always felt like I had the meaning of pooping. Planck suddenly laughed: "But there are more battles in the future, so I am less afraid, and now I am even excited, as if someone invited me to drink." ”
Planck's words also relaxed the soldiers' tense nerves a little.
Although there are many new fighters around him, most of whom do not have sufficient combat experience, Planck believes that once they have experienced this battle, they will soon mature. No matter how rigorous the training, it is not as effective as a bloody battle to mature faster. Of course, the premise is that they can survive after fighting. Planck was always reluctant to estimate the casualties, because this was something he was unwilling to face, and they would have to face dozens or even hundreds of times more enemies, and none of them would survive.
"Since you're coming. Then hurry up!" Planck roared silently inwardly.
In the second half of the night, the clouds became thicker, and finally completely obscured the starlight, and there was a darkness between heaven and earth, and I couldn't see my five fingers when I couldn't reach out, and I couldn't see my companion on the other side. At this moment, the Rorschach Pass seemed even quieter, and there seemed to be a suffocating smell in the air. The cold wind that was originally howling has also stopped, and the heavens and the earth seem to have condensed. In such a situation, even the most inexperienced warrior can clearly feel the oppression before the arrival of the big war.
Planck put his ear to the ground and listened carefully to the sound of the land, which was one of the skills learned by many years of soldiering, and there was silence all around, and there was no sound, but at this time, there was a slight rustling sound, as if someone was walking barefoot. Obviously, it was the enemy who came in the dark.
"My lord, what's the situation?"
Planck didn't reply, his head poked out of the wall, trying to look into the distance, but nothing but the faint glow of the campfire was nowhere to be seen, it was still pitch black. You have to find the latest chapters by yourself to read books?
