To tell the truth, Luo Ming brought two hundred infantry and fifty cavalry, no matter what the situation, even if he had no brains, at least it was enough to protect him to retreat safely.

Even if the enemy army pursued and killed him, Luo Ming would be able to escape, at most by sacrificing more soldiers.

But these are the elite soldiers he carefully selected, and the gold and silver spent on them, the hard work and hope poured into them, can be said to be very heavy.

Today, the enemy is outnumbered, and we must hold back the enemy army to gain time, it is impossible not to make sacrifices, but unnecessary sacrifices should be avoided, and it is good to bring back one more person.

Luo Ming gritted his teeth and sneered in the direction of the enemy army: "Come on, I want to see what you Belan people are capable of......

If you want a life from Schönbrunn, give me at least three or five lives in exchange!"

When the allied soldiers had assembled and gradually moved into the pre-assigned positions, the enemy flags appeared on the opposite side.

Luo Ming counted for a moment, and then frowned - according to the usual military system of the Belan Federation, such a banner represented 12,000 people on the other side.

In fact, there are about 10,000 people in the current Beran army, and 12,000 is pure bluff.

In fact, they were originally 8,500 men, and although there were losses along the way, some of the principalities were leading the way, and they also captured some people, and there were 1,500 more than when they set out.

Of course, neither the leading party nor the people can be counted on in terms of combat effectiveness, but even so, compared with the coalition forces, there is an absolute numerical advantage close to three to one.

However, the battlefield chosen by Luo Ming was good, with a small stream running through the battlefield, the water of which was close to the woods, and the average width of the stream bank was only twenty meters.

Only the way the enemy army came could accommodate many people, which limited them from pressing down the entire army at once.

Of course, people can also stand in the forest, but staying in the forest, the soldiers will not be able to maintain the formation, and it will definitely be very scattered.

If the enemy was squeezed through that road, Luo Ming would go straight up with a single shot, ensuring that each shell would penetrate at least six or seven soldiers.

And the enemy army is not a stupid NPC, so naturally it did not exactly follow Luo Ming's best idea.

I saw a lot of people suddenly rushing out of the road and the forest, carrying cloth bags full of earth and rocks, and about to throw them into the stream.

This creek served the same purpose as a moat or moat, and the enemy naturally used the same tactics against it.

It itself is actually not too deep, and the deepest part is only up to the knees of normal people, but after all, it is an obstacle, and the enemy army is ready to fill it directly!

Of course, the coalition forces will not sit idly by, and suddenly a rain of arrows flew out, and the lethality of this arrow rain was quite outstanding, knocking down nearly a hundred people at once, making the coalition troops themselves stunned.

"Those are the Lothars! are peasants and prisoners of war!" someone here could not help but sigh after recognizing the true identity of this wave of people who carried the soil.

But none of the nobles ordered to stop, and there was no room for relenting on the battlefield, and the archers and crossbowmen continued to shoot, and the other had no armor on them, so they fell like wheat harvests.

If there are more troops on the coalition side, they can also try to fight back, scare these poor creatures, and drive them to attack the Belan army's army in turn, but now there is no such condition, so we can only watch this scene continue.

Some of them were lucky not to be shot, so they hurriedly threw the dirt bags in the creek and fled back, but it was not long before they were forced to carry the second bag of dirt again.

Some fell in the middle of the road, others threw down dirt bags and tried to escape across the stream, only to be struck down by arrows or sabers from behind—mixed with the Warlords.

Their bodies were also filled into the creek along with the dirt bags, and the water gradually turned red.

Luo Ming took a sip, turned around, and said loudly to the soldiers who were still a little stunned when they watched this scene: "Look, don't expect to escape to avoid disaster, and don't think that surrender will be forgiven!"

The people of Beran are here now so that none of you and I can live!"

"They took the peasants' rations and seeds to feed the horses, and prepared to starve all the people of Lothar to death, and those who did not starve to death were arrested and forced to die, and even if they died, the corpses would be trampled by them, and the souls would not rest in peace!"

For the enemy, especially such a fierce enemy, there is naturally no need to pay lip service. Demonizing the other party a little is also convenient to arouse the hatred and fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Of course, if it is too exaggerated and directly scares the soldiers, then there will only be side effects.

But Luo Ming's soldiers have never lost a battle so far, and they are even a little close to the "proud soldiers", and when they hear this, they will only want to beat the enemy more.

After about thirty minutes, the creek had been basically filled in, and although there was still some current, it could only reach the shin of the person at best.

The enemy's regular army immediately rushed up, crossed the creek, and slaughtered the coalition forces.

The cavalry of the Beran Federation was excellent, but at this time, it was the infantry that came out, and some even dismounted the cavalry. Heavily armoured and some with shields in hand, they crossed the stream and charged towards the coalition forces.

Naturally, the defense line of the coalition army was not only to dig trenches and build earthen walls, but also to defend against arrows, to prevent cavalry from horses, deer and fences, etc., and after that, there were many spears waiting. It is obviously unreliable to use cavalry to attack such fortifications, so it is better to let the infantry wear heavy armor and dismantle and destroy some of the fortifications first.

At the same time, it is also for the cavalry to step on the pit - seeing that the coalition army is heavily guarded, it is difficult to ensure that there are no traps, and it is much better to let the infantry trap than to let the cavalry suffer, and the price of the cavalry is several times that of the infantry.

Luo Ming had already asked people to keep carrying water from the creek and then splashing it onto the shore. By now, the shore looks fairly flat, but in fact it is quite muddy.

The enemy crossed the creek and fell into the mud, which was neither large nor deep, but it was effective in slowing them down, and even the occasional fall - the unfortunate ones were often trampled by friendly troops before they could get up.

At this moment, the rain of arrows flew towards them - although the shore was only about fifty meters away from the position, and the hit rate was quite high, the heavy armor and shield were still very effective in defending against most of the arrows.

The Berans also had archers, and some even charged forward, wearing heavy armor, and stood on the shore and began to shoot at the allied forces.

Although there are anti-archery fortifications, and some unarmored or lightly armored soldiers in the coalition army also wear the three-hundred-collar paper armor given by Luo Ming to strengthen their defense, but it is obviously unfavorable to go on like this.

The Earl of Mount Conle watched this scene from the formation, and couldn't help but glance at Luo Ming - Viscount Meiquan, quickly use your invincible artillery to find a way!
