Chapter Twenty-Three: The Art of War

Viscount Wayne was temporarily stationed in camp

"Bang. There was a loud bang on the table, and the third knight under the viscount, Kairi, slapped the table angrily, and the solid wooden table was cracked with several cracks, and it was about to fall apart at any time. "Damn, we let a bunch of ignorant garbage pariahs be defeated. ”

The rest of the knights also looked bad, thinking it was an easy outing, but they ran into a difficult bone.

Everyone didn't want to talk, and drank in a muffled voice.

Not long after, an elite cavalryman walked in from outside the house, kneeling on one knee. "My lord, the personnel have been gathered. ”

First Knight Mike touched his burnt blonde hair, which he was most proud of, and had to cut it off first. "How many people were lost. ”

The person who returned looked a little uncomfortable, as if he was hesitating. "459 people were killed, 175 were seriously wounded, 376 were slightly wounded, and only 37 cavalry were now intact. A lot of weapons and equipment were lost in that place in the Arakawa Hills area. ”

After hearing this, the knights' faces turned dead. Captain Adero stood in the corner and looked at these 5 knights coldly, with the temper of Viscount Wayne, although these 5 knights are all his cronies, but this fiasco is enough to make the Viscount angry, and the king's conscription order will be issued in a few days, the loss of irregular troops is a trivial matter, but those well-equipped cavalry and war horses are the most valuable wealth. Judging from the current losses, even if they finally take the Sith Territory, the life of these people will not be too easy.

With the wealth of the Viscount, there will be many people who are willing to come to the new henchmen to support them again.

Mike sighed deeply, his teacher, the old noble knight, had told him a word that he should remember at all times, but apparently he had forgotten his teacher's teachings after so many years of luxury.

"Don't offend harmless-looking creatures at any time, because that's most likely a snake disguise. ”

Today's fiasco woke him up from his empty dream, this blow was fatal, and even more terrifying, he was still the main person in charge of this operation, he didn't need to look to know that the four knight companions who called him brothers and sisters in private were secretly looking at each other, ready to put all the blame on him.

The young and beautiful wife just gave birth to twins to him this year, and after his death, how will his wife live.

All of this was done by Arthur. The anger in his chest spread uncontrollably.

"Pass my order, let all the personnel gather, tonight we are going to raid the Sith Territory, behind it is the plain, there will be no daytime happens, as for the viscount, I will personally go to ask for the guilt. Commander Adero, our troops have suffered heavy losses, and I heard that your regiment members have suffered only some minor injuries, so I ask you to be the vanguard of the battle. Mike said coldly.

"I'm at your disposal, Lord Knight. ”

After the troops had eaten dinner, Mike marched to the Sith Lead, full of rage...

On the other side, Lord Matthew's men were digging traps according to Arthur's arrangement, and the villagers in the same territory chose to stay. By the time Lord Frank arrived, it was almost ready. Those who could not fight and the young were dismissed, after all, what remained was a real war, and many people would die.

In the end, there were only 256 people left, plus two lords, and one baron's command was only these armies were indeed terriblely poor. The ills that Baron Arin had left out were infinitely magnified after his death.

After arranging for the rest of the people, the soldiers, under the command of the two lords, set up the "Macedonian phalanx" given to them by the lord and waited for the arrival of the enemy army.

A fire rose into the sky in the distance, and Frank looked at his territory with some sadness. "Prepare for a fight to the death, old man. ”

"May the captain of the kingdom of heaven bless us to win this battle. Matthew's tone was flat.

Although the team of thousands of people in the distance was not much, but there was a hidden anger, although this group of people were invaders, they also had flesh and blood, friends, and family, and the death of their companions deepened their resentment against the Sith Lord, plus the knight had already ordered. You can burn, kill and loot at will, here is a poor slag in the countryside, but it is a place for holy beauties.

Men who are carried away by lust are nothing more than a bunch of inhuman beasts.

The earth shook faintly at a uniform pace.

Enemy troops, 5 noble knights, 37 cavalry, more than 900 irregular troops, plus an elite adventuring group.

On our side, 2 old lords, 276 irregular troops who had only been trained for a few months.

The big war is about to begin...

"Kill, for the glory of Lord Viscount. Mike shouted with his rifle in hand. Behind him, there was a cheer and shouting, and the sound shook for ten miles.

"For the Sith, for the lords, for our homeland. Kill..."

Mike was the first to rush towards the Sith phalanx from a hundred meters away, and in his eyes it was impossible for anyone to stop the knight's charge, and the four knights and cavalry behind him followed. 70 meters, it's okay, 60 meters it's okay, 50 meters, the trap prepared in advance did what it should.

There was a deafening neigh, and the horse stumbled and was pierced into a sieve by the spikes under the trap. The heavily armored Knight of Mike was smashed to pieces, and the knight's charge relied entirely on the charge of the war horse, so the speed was extremely fast, and with the staggered traps, the five knights and cavalry in the lead fell into the trap.

Don't be impulsive on the battlefield, the lessons of the day, let them be carried away by anger and captured by the simple trap of the beast.

The knight's body was far stronger than anyone else, but he was not lightly injured, but the cavalry was not good, and many people were seriously injured by the high-speed impact and heavy armor.

The Macedonian phalanx, like a hedgehog, moved slowly.

...

In his previous life, the emperor's phalanx Su Xia had studied it deeply and knew it very well. The main divisions are: standing soldiers, armed with 18-foot spears and round shields, and when protecting their left side, they also protect the right side of their companions; light infantry, who are standing soldiers who are not physically sensitive and support wounded comrades in wartime; companion cavalry, which is used to storm the enemy at high speed to strengthen the offensive nature of the entire phalanx, but because the Sith leaders do not have enough money and time for training, they can only be put on hold for the time being; and finally auxiliary soldiers, who wear almost no armor and attack the enemy with javelins and bows and arrows.

It can be called a perfect battle array, and it has achieved the glorious and short life of the emperor.

...

Mike, drawing his sword from his side, jumped out of the tunnel. He took off his armor and looked at the slowly approaching Sith army, clenching his sword.

His army rushed out of the trap to the rescue, they had never fought such a humiliating battle.

The people of the Sith Territory have a bit of professionalism and integrity.

Set fires, dig traps, wacky formations.

"Lord Frank, I have been traveling on the mainland for many years, and I have never seen a commander in such a battle, and I want to know who commanded this battle. Mike shouted.

"Our great lord, Arthur. McKnight, I advise you not to do fearless struggles. Frank gave the order behind him to stop the attack.

Mike, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Thinking of the past, at the age of more than 40 years old, his physical strength and energy are not as good as before, plus he has been used to living an aristocratic life over the years, and he has forgotten the perseverance and determination to live desperately, and even has a trace of fear for that young man in his heart, but for the sake of the man's face, or the pride hidden in the deepest part of his heart, he is not allowed to say half a weak word.

"Captain Adero, are you and your people watching the show? Are those mages eating dry food? How long are you going to wait?"

In the far distance on the far right, Captain Adero sighed and drew his sword. I'm hesitating whether to do it now...

The sound of horses' hooves in the distance disturbed the temporary silence of the battlefield, and Lord Bruce of the Sith Territory rode his horse from the distant path to the center of the battlefield, "Commander Adero, here is a letter from Baron Arthur for you. ”

Arthur's third tip is the letter given to Adero...

Admiral Strategy, Frontal Combat is always the best way to fight, but it is everyone's favorite, and I hate it. The Macedonian phalanx I developed will always be the most powerful and invincible, so much so that everyone has begun to use their brains not to fight with our army. Historian, this sentence should be remembered. β€”β€”From "New Chapter: The Autobiography of King Arthur"
