Chapter 146: Battle Plan

It was dark, but at noon it was as bleak as it was before dawn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The drizzle brought a lot of inconvenience to the march.

Mormont successfully became a subordinate of the lord and is now a member of the cavalry.

"Today is the decisive battle, will we win?" asked Mormont a new recruit.

"Absolutely. "Mormont groomed his old horse, it was no longer suitable for battle, but there was no other replacement at present, and he would think of other ways to go to the battlefield.

"I think so too. The recruits rubbed their hands together to hide their fear, which had been a farmer at home, but now he was going to take up arms to kill the enemy.

"Don't worry, you can follow behind the big army and help treat the wounded. Mormont saw what he was thinking, such a makeshift militia could not exert much strength on the battlefield, and most of them appeared as logistics personnel, responsible for the delivery of supplies and the transportation and simple bandaging of the wounded.

"What about you?" the recruit's heart felt better, but the fifty-year-old man in front of him seemed to have other ideas, if he were someone as old as him, he would not participate in this recruitment at all, and he would not be forcibly drafted into the army.

"I'll be at the front. Mormont said without hesitation, this is the duty and honor of being a knight.

"Come with us and walk behind, no one will force you to rush ahead. "The recruits can't help but be a little worried, people with half gray hair should not be reckless, no one will care if they lose their lives when the time comes, on the battlefield, it is those young soldiers who can be given priority to treatment, and the probability of an old man being saved is too low.

"You don't have to worry about me. "Mormont's attitude is very good, even if the recruit in front of him is a little timid, but he always dares to go to the battlefield, unlike those deserters, who run away without a trace before the fight starts.

"Good luck then. "The recruits don't have much to say.

"Mormont, we are about to discuss the attack, so you hurry up and participate. "When the military commander passed by, he happened to see Mormont, because he had personally selected him, and he admired his ability very much, so he asked him to go to this meeting together.

"Okay. Mormont gave his horse to the recruits to take care of, and followed the leader to the camp.

There were many people in the camp, but not many could speak, and most of them just followed and listened.

Mormont followed the army leader in a corner of the camp, their status was low, and they basically only obeyed orders.

"Today there is a drizzle, which is not good for the march, and we must fight and lose. "The chief knight of the lord has spoken, and the sooner this civil strife ends, the better.

"Well, let's talk about the offensive plan. The lord sitting above agreed, and his son was very sad to start a rebellion for the lord's position, but when it happened, grief alone did not solve the problem, and the messenger sent out to persuade him to surrender was directly imprisoned, and the way to a peaceful solution was no longer feasible.

"The location of our decisive battle is Sunset Valley, where there is only a narrow passage, and we can rush through it and take down all the rebels directly. The chief knight pointed to a painting and said, this is a simple topographic map, but it still plays a big role in the sudden rebellion, and can help everyone make a clear judgment.

"Rush over? Do you want to use cavalry? We don't have so many cavalry. The cavalry captain questioned that the number of cavalry is limited now, and the charge will cause great losses in the past, and when the losses are too heavy, I don't know how much time and financial resources it will take to recover.

"It's basic common sense to use the archers to consume their spearmen before they charge. The chief knight was a little dissatisfied, and this question was to doubt his military command.

"Why charge first, if the cavalry loses too much, then the rebels will flee and no one will be able to catch up with them. "The cavalry captain still doesn't want to do this, his position is all kept by the cavalry, and if the number of cavalry is small, he will be affected, and it will be difficult to climb up again.

Now is the era of peace, the number of various arms has not changed for ten years, and the loss of some people will only be slowly filled, after all, there is no threat of war, the lord will not immediately spend financial resources to fill the vacancy, and training a qualified cavalry is not an overnight thing, and it will not be possible to do it in a few years.

"Captain, does the enemy still have to care about who has more losses and who has fewer losses?" The chief knight's face showed dissatisfaction, usually this is just the way, and now he is still engaged in such a little trick, it is a little ignorant of the overall situation.

"Knight, what do you mean by that? For the sake of my lord, this war must end today, and if the rebels flee back to Nolan Town, there is no telling how long this rebellion will last, and if such a situation occurs, will you be responsible?"

"Don't forget, the rebels are only two hundred, can't we take four hundred troops, if your retreat causes the enemy to counterattack, how should this responsibility be calculated?" the chief knight glared angrily at the captain, the two of them had a high and low status on the surface, but in fact their power was about the same, and no one wanted to be inferior in front of each other.

"Shut up, before the war starts, you guys will quarrel first, can this battle still be won? The lord couldn't help but shout, these two people have been fighting in secret, he didn't see it before, and he couldn't cause any trouble anyway, but today is different, discussing the battle plan in front of so many people, and two people with heads and faces have such a dispute, which is really unbearable.

The lord was angry, and the chief knight and cavalry captain obediently shut up.

"Today's battle plan is all in the hands of the chief knight, and the others must obey. "What the lord believes in the most is the chief knight, and he will clearly hand over the command to him, so that everyone can obey, otherwise don't try to discuss a plan today.

The chief knight glanced at the captain, who did not dare to speak at this time, and could only turn his head to the other side.

"Today, the archers took turns to fire arrows, and after crushing the enemy's spearmen, the cavalry charged directly, breaking through the rebels' formation, while the spearmen and sword and shield men followed closely and killed all the remaining rebels. "The chief knight arranged the battle plan in a simple and straightforward manner.

"Kill them all, our northwest region is already underpopulated, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?" the cavalry captain disagreed.

"Are you trying to intercede for the rebels?" the chief knight asked rhetorically, in his eyes, as long as the rebels must be killed.

"Listen to the knight's command. "The captain doesn't want to be put on such a hat, he only needs to lead his troops to break through the enemy's defenses, and the rest is up to him.
