Chapter 400: Ready for Battle
After Weisk and the others finished breakfast, Feng Longde continued to discuss with his friends about safety precautions for a while, and after making sure that they were completely in the safest state, he let them go to the commanding heights to look down on the entire battlefield, and Qi Luno and other goblins and monster girls who planned to stay with them had been there for a long time - although it was interesting to fly around the pre-war camp and the three lines of defense to see the excitement, but flying too long and not seeing more novelties would be boring, Therefore, these little girls naturally stayed honestly on the commanding heights, waiting for Feng Longde's friends and the beginning of the battlefield.
After arranging his friends, Feng Longde began to stay in his marching tent, lying on the marching bed and closing his eyes, dealing with the various affairs reported through the soul contact in the soul heart.
It was already more than seven o'clock in the morning when Feng Longde properly solved the problem of his friends watching the battlefield, and in less than two hours, Feng Longde's soul heart was moving at a high speed, and the pre-war camp, The three lines of defense and the King's Guard, which had been lurking in the forest all night, were all taken care of, but fortunately there was nothing wrong when facing the Japanese army of the Warring States period: war could not tolerate even the slightest mistake, and many examples of wars in history had shown too many cases of overturning in the gutter due to careless details or sudden incidents, and Feng Longde did not want his Teutonic troops to become part of these negative teaching materials.
In April, Gensokyo has completely warmed up, and the sun has already risen, spreading warm sunlight on the earth, making people feel warm all over, even if they have already woken up, they will feel a rush of sleepiness.
It's a pity that in more than half an hour, the Japanese Sengoku period army will appear on the edge of the forest area, and they will definitely attack the Teutonic troops who have blocked their only road to the plains, and the bright sunlight can only make the blood that is about to splash away more brilliant.
"That Sengoku period army is almost on the edge of the forest?Oh, yes, the King's Guard and the Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger Banner, which have been lurking in the forest all night, have not been detected by the enemy, thanks to you who are in charge of monitoring the Revenant Rangers and instructing them in real time. After receiving the report from the lich mages who were in charge of monitoring the Soul Rangers, Feng Longde, who was originally lying on the marching bed with his eyes closed, immediately broke open his blue eyes, straightened the demon's ring-winged barrel helmet, jumped up from the marching bed, and walked out of the marching tent towards the three lines of defense.
Along the way, Feng Longde could see that the armed human workers who had already arranged the military fortifications, trenches, and horse rejection began to evacuate to the pre-war camp in an orderly manner, preparing to take a short rest and prepare to transport supplies from the rear and clean up the battlefield after the battle; There are many precautions as to whether all the various projectile munitions of the Teutonic Heavy Catapult have been prepared and whether the identification marks between the various projectiles of the giant rod scale catapult are clear, and under the guidance of several Lich Mages present, some special types of ammunition are assembled on the spot and crossbows with enchantment effects are transported to prepare for use; , Strive to rest for a while, who knows if he will have a chance to rest after this battle, but if that is the case, he can sleep forever
"Adult"
"Your Majesty. β
"Sir!"
Walking along the path vacated by the Teutonic soldiers, Von Rond could hear the various names of the Boghall soldiers and the Acropolis soldiers along the way when they saw him, although some of them sounded natural and some of them were obviously tired, but they all showed a kind of respect in their words without exception, which was the heartfelt respect for their own immortal king.
Feng Longde would meticulously raise his hand to greet the Teutonic soldiers whenever they called him, causing a considerable number of Boghall soldiers and Acropolis soldiers along the way to call him various honorific titles, and even among the artillerymen who were preparing heavy weapons in the third line of defense, those who could get closer to the first two lines of defense also shouted at Feng Longde who was passing by, which made the Teutonic troops who were slightly tired from the long time of arranging the defense line regain a lot of energy, which was unexpected by Feng Longde, who was just inspecting the state of his troopsγ
Until now, Feng Longde didn't particularly know how famous his reputation among the supernatural girls in Gensokyo was and among all the human inhabitants in the human world: in terms of reputation, Feng Longde naturally made these cute girls who were different from ordinary people feel quite suitable for their appetite in his several contacts with some supernatural girls, and Feng Longde, a rare man with not low strength and seemingly taciturn, is actually quite easy-going and talkative, so he will naturally have a certain reputation among the supernatural girls who generally don't have much to talk about; Although the defense of the human world brought the human inhabitants in the human world to the bloodthirsty and cruel side, but through long-term daily contact and mutual contact, the human inhabitants soon found that these Teutonic people are usually quite kind, coupled with the fact that the Teutonic camp has been providing a large number of jobs and conscription places for those who cannot find jobs to support their families and want to make a small career in the human world, so that the two major problems of overpopulation and lack of jobs that have just emerged in recent years have been solved, and it is not an exaggeration for the human inhabitants in the human world to say that they love the Teutons to death, The side effect is that the preaching of several shrines and temples has been affected a little at best, and the only serious side effect is that almost no one asks Reimu to ask for something from the undisciplined red and white witch, causing Reimu to spit on Feng Longde at the time of the New Year
"The morale of the soldiers is good, but they are a little tired because of the layout of the battlefield, and I hope this will not affect their combat effectiveness too much. Walking back to the third line of defense along the trail behind the horses and trenches, Feng Longde walked over to a lich mage who had watched the artillerymen unbug the giant pole scale stone thrower.
"With a well-laid out defensive line, it is not a big deal for the Teutonic troops to lose even some physical strength. The Lich Mage replied with a slight bow to Von Rond as a common mage among mages, and then gestured to the artillerymen who were nervously adjusting their heavy weapons, "Now that the Teutonic heavy catapults, the 'porcupine' ballista and the giant rod scale stone thrower are basically ready, the artillerymen are doing the final checks to make sure nothing goes wrong." β
"Are all those special types of ammunition ready?" Feng Longde took off his Demon Ring-Wing Barrel Helmet and casually flicked off the oak leaves that had just floated to the top of the helmet in the wind.
"It's ready, just your corresponding order, and the artillerymen will drop them on the enemy's head at your request. The Lich Mage replied, and then his tone sounded a little hesitant: "Your Majesty, one of those special types of ammunition has a wide range of damage, but it will cause serious damage to the enemy's body, and if you recover the corpses, a considerable part of them will not be recycled and can only be used as materials for fertile fields, and even the soul energy in them will be depleted due to the intense heat, are you sure that kind of terrifying weapon really needs to be used in the current situation of the lack of corpses and soul energy in the Teutonic camp?"
"If you can't win the war, what if you use the most economical weapons? Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders and replied, driving the shoulder armor on his shoulders to make a metal friction sound, "When the time comes, let's use ordinary incendiary bombs in battle, that kind of incendiary bombs will not do much damage to the bones of the corpse after burning people, and it will not consume much soul energy As for that kind of special ammunition, it is better to give the enemy a heavy blow at a critical moment, after all, it is easy to use pure firepower to drown the enemy completely, but where do the materials we obtain through the war come from?" Therefore, a large number of cavalry and infantry units are still needed. β
"Yes, Your Majesty. The Lich Mage nodded, then looked up at the edge of the forest, "They're about to show up, aren't they?" β
"I didn't expect them to surrender, especially after their horsemen discovered the number of our entire troops. Feng Longde put the Demon Ringwing Barrel Helmet back on, and let out a low voice in reply, "Well, they're here, and they're coming early, and it seems that their march speed is slightly faster than the Lich Mages who are in charge of monitoring the Revenant Rangers estimated. β
At this moment, groups of armed men began to appear in the forest. All the people who walked in front were dressed in cloth clothes or simple feet, wearing hats on their heads, The light infantry with bare feet or straw sandals or, according to the Japanese parlance, ashigaru, most of the weapons they held were bamboo spears, a small number of them carried bamboo bows and quivers full of arrows, only a very few of them were well-dressed and well-dressed, holding iron cannons in their hands and wearing katanas around their waists, but they were obviously mass-produced cheap goods, and there were no even the most basic decorations on them; in front of the procession of these ashigaru people were several Japanese samurai of the time dressed in various colors, some of them held the katana that had not been drawn from their waists, and some of them carried the naginata, and each helmet had its own decoration or different maskThe mask that conceals the face also has a tuft of beard, and the wear on the leg depicts a variety of patterns that resemble the family coat of arms, which is their family crest.
Although for now, he can only see the Ashigaru troops and the dozen or so Japanese samurai leading the team, but Feng Longde can learn from the lich mages who are responsible for monitoring the Revenant Rangers through soul contact that more Ashigaru troops and Japanese samurai are still hidden in the forest, and those Ashigaru troops and a dozen Japanese samurai who are exposed to his vision and others are just vanguard troops, used to test what is going on on their side, and then think about how to fight.
"It looks like the battle is about to begin. Feng Longde stretched his hands into fists and stretched each other, making the nail pieces and finger joints on the plate armor gloves click, and then turned to the lich mage beside him and said, "You and your colleagues on the defense line are responsible for receiving my soul message, and after receiving my soul message, you will launch an attack. β
"Yes, Your Majesty. The lich mage nodded slightly.
After the instructions, Feng Longde returned to his marching tent, mounted his undead warhorse and pulled his steel super-long cavalry from the ground, and galloped from a remote path to the forest according to the route map that the lich mages responsible for monitoring the Dead Soul Rangers had transmitted to his soul heart in advance, preparing to reach the Teutonic Tomahawk Ranger Banner Team that was still in a latent state; γ
"The Teutonic heavy catapults began to load incendiary bombs, the 'porcupine' ballista began to load ordinary standard crossbow bolts, and the giant rod scale stone thrower began to load incendiary bombs. "These lich mages in the various lines of defense, in addition to casting psychic magic on the Teutonic troops when necessary to stabilize the period and heal the wounded soldiers who have been withdrawn in time, are also acting as Feng Longde's immediate orders to the various Teutonic troops," the Boghall pikemen company and the Acropolis legion detachment formed a defensive formation, and the Boghall riflemen prepared. β
"Boghall riflemen! Load ammunition!" With the shout of Ernist, the captain of the Boghall riflemen company, the Boghall riflemen who were staying in the second line of defense crouched on one knee behind the breastwork, put the Mauser 98K rifles in their hands on the flat wall, and began to reload ammunition.
At the same time, all the Teutonic forces in the three lines of defense began to take their positions and prepare for battle under the orders given by von Rond through his deep soul connection with the Lich Mages. (To be continued.) )
