vs 147 Small group fighting
Knight Hanks is very clear, I don't care what difficulties you have, I will only help you when you engage the enemy coalition forces, otherwise you don't have to talk about it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the usual thinking of mercenaries, and there is nothing wrong with them being suspicious and cautious about everything.
Hearing the other party's request, Jeff Knight did not refuse, he glanced at the flag of Hanks' troops, and said: "I will do so, but I hope you can fulfill your promise, otherwise, the friendship between the Borg family and the Cage family will be broken because of you!"
When Hanks heard the other party's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled on his face, "Of course, I have always kept my promises!"
Knight Jeff looked at Hanks seriously, "There is a primeval jungle five kilometers to the southeast, our troops are hiding in it, and due north of the jungle, there is an enemy stronghold, and in two hours our troops will charge!"
When Hanks was explaining to Jeff, he had already taken out a map and marked the location on which the other party was talking.
Jeff Knight was very satisfied with what Hanks had done, "Knight, my troops have been in the jungle for several days, and many soldiers have been infected with diseases, and their combat effectiveness has not been weakened by half, I hope you don't hold it for too long!"
"I'll show up in time!" Hanks promised again.
Jeff received another promise from Hanks, gave Hanks a serious look, stopped talking, turned his head and walked towards his mount, and in a few moments, he disappeared from Hanks' vision.
"Pass my military order, send five squads of reconnaissance cavalry, I want to know all the wind and grass in a five-kilometer radius of the troops!" Hanks directly sent five squads of cavalry to scout nearby.
After making sure everything was correct, he ordered his troops to advance to the spot Jeff had just mentioned.
A large battalion of cavalry units wanted to hide their tracks, which was obviously not very realistic, and the dust they kicked up as they marched could be seen from two or three kilometers away, so Hanks could only let the troops advance carefully for a distance of one kilometer at most.
The hiding spot chosen by Hanks was the shady side of a hillside that the Scout Cavalry had discovered.
The key to tactical command is to think of ways to make your troops see more and farther, cavalry combat, terrain is the most important, Hanks must know where to charge after the battle starts.
Therefore, he sent five more squads of scouts to ensure the accurate point of his target, and at the same time to prevent the troops from being detected by enemy scouts.
On the other side, after Knight Jeff returned to the place where the team was hiding, he immediately gathered his troops, and this 2,000-strong force was basically a veteran of the Byan Command, so although there were deserters, there were not many.
Fortunately, Jeff had already been on guard against deserters, and most of the soldiers who escaped could not escape, otherwise his troops would have been discovered by the enemy.
Jeff changed into his knight's armor, and the one-handed longsword in his hand was sharpened by his squire, and he ordered the herald next to him: "Let the soldiers polish their weapons and put on their equipment, it's time for the enemies outside to taste the edge of our Ben City soldiers' swords!"
Hearing this, the herald's tired eyes suddenly lit up, and then he left quickly, he wanted to convey Jeff's order as soon as possible, he swore that if it wasn't for the order of his boss, the two hundred soldiers outside would have been torn apart by him!
Jeff watched his troops silently, he knew in his heart that these soldiers were extremely weak, and now they were able to move with a breath, and he knew that he had to attack quickly before the soldiers were discouraged.
If they were lucky, they could even annihilate two hundred soldiers in the outside stronghold without Hanks' troops, after all, he had ten times the strength of the other side.
Now the soldiers' weapons have been polished and are waiting for Jeff's order.
Except for a hundred scout cavalry, the rest of the troops were light infantry and longbowmen. Jeff ordered, a hundred cavalry lurked on the right side, waiting for the order to attack, the light infantry divided into three groups, quickly advanced from three directions, forming an encirclement of the enemy...
At the same time, the soldiers in the stronghold outside the jungle are resting, the summer is coming to an end, the morning of this season is exceptionally refreshing, breathing the crisp air of the morning, people's mood is also unconsciously better.
An officer in armor shouted: "All right, brothers, in another magic hour, the brothers who have changed shifts should come, now you can rest for a while, another peaceful night!"
The officer casually glanced in the direction of East Covinde, their main duty was to warn the army of Covinde, but there was a death order from above, not to set foot in the territory of East Covinde, so as not to provoke the young lord.
The junior officer spitted at this order, he knew the faces of the nobles, and if there was really going to war, it would be a fool to do so.
On the contrary, if they don't want to fight, you just go and plunder the villages on their borders, and the nobles won't care.
Shaking his head, the officer shook these thoughts out of his head, these things should be worried about above, what he can do now is to complete the garrison task for the last hour, and then return to the rear base to sleep beautifully.
By this time, Jeff's troops had quietly reached the edge of the jungle, a stronghold with no defenses, only two improvised lookouts.
Jeff took a deep breath and shouted, "Soldiers, let the enemy wail under your blades, charge!"
When the words landed, the voice of the magic whistle was immediately remembered, and the light infantry ambushed in the three directions heard the signal to attack, and immediately shook their bodies, roared angrily, and rushed towards the stronghold that had cursed in their hearts no less than a hundred times.
The roar of more than 1,000 people charging and the sound of weapons colliding instantly resounded through the world, hitting the hearts of the two hundred soldiers in the stronghold, and they subconsciously looked at the troops who were rushing to kill.
"Steady!" the stronghold officer was shocked, but he had to keep his composure in front of the soldiers, "The tenth squad of cavalry quickly returned to the camp and said that they had found two thousand soldiers evacuated from the southwestern fort. ”
He was asking them to go back and report while sending reinforcements.
"Don't be stunned, the bows and arrows of both squads are on the lookout, and the infantry raises their shields to form a defensive front!" The officer wanted to hold out for a while, and it wouldn't take long, only half an hour, and his reinforcements would arrive.
There was not much time for the officer to think about it, and the attack had arrived.
Jeff, who was the first to attack, placed the archers on the flanks, and after two volleys, the infantry charging team had also arrived, and the charging troops had a huge inertia, and the formation of the defenders of the stronghold retreated more than ten steps in just one moment.
The defensive front of 200 people, under the charge of more than 1,000 soldiers, looked a little small like an eagle and a chicken.
The stronghold officer knew that there was no need to fight hard, this was not his task, his most important task now was to ensure the lives of the soldiers, so he commanded the troops to resist while slowly retreating to his rear.
And this is exactly what Jeff Knight expected, the reason why he only besieged on three sides was because he was afraid of forcing the other party into a hurry and fighting with them.
Just as the soldiers on both sides were killing the red eyes, suddenly, there was a shock on the ground, and the veterans knew that it was the sound of a cavalry charge, and the soldiers on both sides of the war were shocked.
"Don't worry, it's our friendly army!" said Jeff's face was beaming, his eyes looking at the charging cavalry.
