Chapter 356, the military strategy of the Second Highness

As soon as he walked out of the tent, he heard a loud eagle's cry in the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info looked up, but it was a huge golden eagle that swept over the barracks and flew into the distance.

His Royal Highness exclaimed: "I didn't expect there to be such a majestic golden eagle in the swamp area of Egret Lake, but it's a pity that I don't have time, otherwise I really want to go and see where the eagle's nest is?"

Reddy couldn't cry or laugh, this Second Highness still has this leisure, didn't he see that the soldiers of the principality and the three great sword masters who were chasing him had already appeared in front of the barracks?

After all, His Royal Highness has experienced a hundred battles and has very rich battlefield experience. Even though he only brought more than 1,000 people, the march and camp were still clear-sighted, and there was no intention of making do with them. He arranged the barracks on a small earthen hill, except for a small road in front that could lead directly to the gate of the barracks, the other three sides were steep dirt slopes more than ten meters high. Although this reduces the difficulty of defense, only one side of defense is required, but it also traps oneself in a Jedi.

In the distance, more and more soldiers from the Duchy of Sabaji and the Duchy of Handla gathered in the distance, gathering into a group of black crows, and several people who looked like silver knights were standing in front of the crowd to give lectures. Not far from the crowd, three great swordsmen in various cloaks stood there looking at the barracks on the earthen hill. It was a surprise to them to meet the king of the Andinac in the marshes of Egret Lake in winter. However, they also quickly understood why they met His Royal Highness......

"My Majesty, the King of the Kingdom of Antinac, is really dead, and the hearts of the four principalities in the middle of our country are not dead. In such a cold winter, I personally brought people here to explore the way. Fortunately, we are encountered, and there are not many people who look at him, why don't you get him?" The great swordsman of the Principality of Sabaji spat into the snow, and looked at the tricolor griffin banner representing His Second Highness in the sky above the Tugang military camp, and said viciously.

The great swordsman of the Duchy of Handla looked at the military camp on the earthen hill: "Our luck is good, His Majesty the King has not brought many people, only more than a thousand people, and each of our two principalities has a brigade here, and the number should be twice as many as them." But the combat strength of the more than 1,000 people that His Majesty brought with him may be stronger than these ordinary soldiers of our two principalities. And they defend us to attack, which will put us at a disadvantage, and another point is that these soldiers of ours are only assisting us in capture, they do not bring offensive materials and equipment, and they attack from the bottom to the top, which will cause great casualties......

Generally speaking, His Majesty the King would bring a great swordsman with him when he went out, and the outlaw Norton kid would be able to withstand the two of us. The only thing we have an advantage over them is the Elder Sword Master of Cindy and the Silver Squire of House Fisabrun. If the Elder Sword Master of Cindy had been willing to do so, I am sure that His Majesty would have regretted leaving his army and had taken this adventure with him. ”

The Great Swordsman of the Principality of Handla was more sober-minded, and he knew that among the three Great Swordsmen, it was the Immortal Great Swordsman who had the final say. Very simple. If his skills are not as good as others, he has no final say, and he and the Great Swordsman of the Sabaji Principality have not taken a hundred moves from the Immortal Archswordsman, so that the two of them privately think that the Immortal Greatsword Master is very likely to have been promoted to the third-level Greatswordsman.

The Great Swordsman of Xiandi was also looking at the barracks on the earthen hill, and when he heard the words of the two Great Swordsmen, he turned his head and asked, "There are two questions, one is that are you sure that the kid of the Norton family has entered the barracks, and the other is that this barracks did not send messengers out of the camp to summon them after the few escaped knights and those soldiers entered?"

The scruple of the Immortal Great Sword Master is that His Royal Highness has sent messengers to find reinforcements, and if they can't succeed in attacking the military camp here for a short time, they are afraid that they will be overwhelmed by the reinforcements that swept in. Even if she was a third-level great sword master, in the face of the rolling battle array, she could only retreat. Regardless of the sacrifices and heavy casualties, it is not impossible to destroy the Great Sword Master with the tactics of a sea of people.

"I can guarantee that. The Grand Swordsman of the Principality of Sabaji beckoned several soldiers to him: "They tracked the knights and soldiers of the Kingdom of Antinac when they found them fleeing, and they were keeping an eye on the camp until we arrived. Let them talk about the surveillance. ”

The leading soldier bowed: "Your Excellency the Great Sword Master, when we arrived here, we saw that the man we were chasing and several knights who had escaped entered the barracks together, and then the group of soldiers also ran in, and the gate of the barracks was closed, and it has not been opened until now. I left two companions to monitor the front, and the rest of the people walked around the small mound, and found that all other directions were steep slopes, about ten meters high. We couldn't climb up the steep slope, and neither could the people in the barracks....."

The Immortal Great Swordsman nodded kindly: "You did a good job, I will remember your credit." ”

The soldier at the head blushed excitedly, bowed deeply again at the Immortal Great Sword Master, and then retreated. Poor him, he didn't realize that the great swordsman of Xiandi was just talking, and if he really wanted to remember his merits, he would at least ask him what his name was.

The Great Sword Master of Xiandi looked at the military camp on the mound again: "Since we have been chasing for so long, we can't return in vain, if we go back like that, we can't afford to lose that face." Besides, now that I have met that His Majesty the King again, I would like to invite him to visit your Principality, and your Grand Duke will surely welcome his great visit. ”

The two great swordsmen of the Principality of Sabaji and the Principality of Handla immediately called the two captains over and assigned their respective tasks, first sending three hundred longbowmen to block the three directions of the earthen hill in case the people from the military camp above led the rope down the steep slope to seek reinforcements. The rest of the duchy soldiers all gathered at the front of the path up the mountain, first lit a fire to cook and rest for a long time, and then sent a group of soldiers to cut down wood to prepare for the cover of the attack on the mountain......

"Your Majesty, it seems that they are preparing to attack us. The Golden Knight Ripied came to the front of the Second Highness and said with a stern expression.

His Royal Highness and Munster's Great Swordsman, Reddy was standing behind the rough wooden fence next to the barracks gate, looking at the enemies gathered like ants under the mountain.

"Your Majesty, the one in the middle wearing a black cloak is the Fairy Great Swordsman of the Fisabrun family, she is the shortest, and the tall man next to her who is also wearing a black cloak is the Great Swordsman of the Sabaji Principality, I don't know what it is called, but it's nothing powerful, I have passed a hundred moves with him, and he can't do anything about me. The one on the far right wearing a gray fur coat is the great swordsman of the Duchy of Handla, and his subordinates are okay, as if he is called Bill or something......" Reddy introduced to His Royal Highness.

"Birček, we have met on the battlefields of the Kingdom of Redlis before. His Royal Highness said, "But he is no match for the Great Swordsman of Munster. If it's true that you can deal with the Great Swordsman of the Principality of Sabaji, then this Bircek will be handed over to the Munster Great Swordsman, and then as long as we resist the Santi Great Swordsman, we can defend our military camp. That's easy, Lippired ......"

"Your Majesty, please order. Lippired next to him puffed out his chest.

The Second Highness thought for a moment: "What we brought this time is a brigade of 1,000 people, plus nearly 100 servants and miscellaneous servants, as well as you and Morva, plus I are three golden knights, and there are also eighteen silver knights, and now there are only fifteen left." Luckily we had an infantry brigade of 500 longbowmen, 200 shieldmen, and 300 spearmen. If so many people are engaged in defensive battles, it should be enough to resist or even force back a third-level great sword master.

Lippired, you pull out the longbowmen to form a team of five hundred, set up a five-pointed star array at the gate of the camp, and then combine the shield soldiers and spearmen to form a group of ten, their task is to entangle and resist the Cindy Great Swordsman, compress the battlefield space at the camp gate, so that the Cindy Great Swordsman has to face our arrow array. As for you, me, and Morva, each with five silver knights, once that Cindy Great Swordsman dodges the attack of the arrow array, we will launch a knight charge and force her to retreat to her original position to be attacked by the arrow array again, understand?"

"Your Majesty, I understand, I'll go and prepare right away. Lippired hurried away.

Reddy stared at his back curiously: "Your Majesty, is this useful for a second-level great sword master?"

Second Highness laughed: "Of course it is useful, the power of the battle array is to gather the ability of ordinary soldiers to fight against high-level Dou Qi masters, this is the experience and lessons learned by the empire in countless battles in the past hundred years." As long as you persist and don't run away, you can even leave some lessons for the Great Sword Master. Haven't you Norton forces been trained in this kind of battle?"

"Uh...... This ......" Reddy scratched his scalp, a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, our Norton family armed really hasn't encountered such a situation, generally if there is a great sword master, our highness will do it by himself, and we don't need to do it at all, so our family is armed against ordinary soldiers, and those are not our family's armed opponents at all......"

Now it was the turn of the Second Highness to be surprised: "What did you say? Locke did it himself? He, isn't he even a silver rank?"

"That's right, Your Majesty, my teacher is practicing the cultivation techniques of the Eastern Warrior Monk, so his Dou Qi rank has always stayed at the Black Iron Stage. In fact, an ordinary third-level great sword master was not his opponent at all. When the 100,000-strong army that defeated the second prince swept through the northern land, His Highness defeated the Great Sword Master of Xiandi. Reddy said.

"So, you can't lie to me if you can deal with that great swordsman of the Sabaji Principality, right?" asked the Second Highness.

"Yes, Your Majesty, my teacher also taught me the cultivation techniques of the Eastern Warrior Monk, and my fighting spirit can only stay at the silver rank and can no longer be promoted. But I once defeated seven gold-ranked masters and won the championship of swordsmanship at the knightly jousting tournament organized by Grand Duke Fisabrun. Reddy replied honestly.

"Very well, in that case, then we will be more sure to hold this barracks. Reddy, you go and deal with the Great Swordsman of the Duchy of Handla, just hold him down, I will let the Great Swordsman of Munster deal with the weakest Grand Swordsman of the Duchy of Sabaji, and strive to take him down or hurt him in the shortest possible time, and then deal with Bilcek with you, as long as these two Great Swordsmen are injured and defeated, then all of us will be more sure to deal with the Santi Great Swordsman. Look at this day, there will definitely be a snowstorm in the past two days, and the enemies below have not prepared supplies for the winter, so I'll see how they can survive the wind and snow......"

His Royal Highness was in high spirits at this moment, and he didn't care at all about the busy enemies under the earthen gang.

After resting for nearly two hours after lunch, the enemy finally launched the first attack on the barracks on the hill. Originally, the soldiers of the principality carried the wooden platoon upwards and tried to find a foothold not far from the barracks, but unfortunately, there were two turns in the path on the hill, and the soldiers of the principality holding the wooden platoon at that bend were attacked by a rain of arrows, and lost forty or fifty corpses and retreated.

In the barracks, you can see that the soldiers who fled back under the earthen hill were punished, and the first five or six soldiers to flee were pulled out and beheaded. Immediately after reinforcing the manpower again, the enemy launched a second attack, and it is worth noting that this time the two great swordsmen of the Principality of Sabaji and the Principality of Handla joined the attack.

"Let them come up, let the longbowmen prepare, keep an eye on the Cindy Great Swordsman, and aim at her as long as she moves, and don't let her rush up. I'll leave the two Great Swordsmen to you, Munster Swordsman, and Reddy, and I hope you don't let me down. As for the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers, I'll leave it to you, Lippired, tell the shieldmen to watch out for the enemy's longbowmen...... "His Royal Highness looked at the attacking enemy and gave the order.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The great swordsmen of the two principalities didn't expect this attack to be so smooth, and they actually pushed it to the gate of the barracks so easily, and they were a little stunned on the spot. They had expected to be hit by a rain of arrows from above, just like the previous one. The purpose of the two of them volunteering was to consume and attract the longbowmen in the barracks to shoot at them, so as to create conditions for the surprise attack of the great sword master of Xiandi, but they didn't expect that the two of them would attack the gate of the barracks so easily. Then I saw Reddy and the Munster Great Swordsman smiling and striding up to meet them, only to know that they had miscalculated.

There were only more than a hundred duchy soldiers who accompanied the two great sword divisions to attack the barracks, because they were covered by wooden platoons, there were only a dozen longbowmen and shield bearers, and about twenty spearmen, and most of the rest were empty-handed, because they had to hold wooden platoons in both hands, so they had to draw their daggers or short swords, and in the face of the onslaught of six knights such as Lippired, they cried and were cut to the ground one by one, it was a massacre......

And the two Grand Swordsmen of the Duchy have been under the coercion of the Great Swordsman of Munster and Reddy to take care of themselves, and now they can only insist on defending, and they only hope that the Great Swordsman of Xiandi under the mound will come up to support as soon as possible. Unfortunately, what they didn't see was that the Immortal Great Swordsman had already rushed towards it twice, but they were forced to retreat by the continuous rain of arrows.

His Royal Highness commanded five teams of 100 longbowmen to shoot at the Santi Swordsman's blocking shots, he did not order the longbowmen to chase the figure of the Santi Swordsman to block, but to shoot at the Sentidi's foothold and the figure in mid-air when passing by, forcing the Sentidi Swordsman to jump around at the foot of the mountain like a monkey in order to avoid the rain of arrows, and he didn't get to the hill after a long time.

The third time, the Immortal Great Swordsman was furious, picked up a wooden row on the ground and blocked it in front of him, and rushed to the earthen hill, resulting in four consecutive rounds of arrow rain on the wooden row, not only did the wooden row collapse, but even the Immortal Great Sword Master was forced to retreat again. No matter how to say that the great swordsman of Xiandi is also a woman, she still walks the light and ethereal sword path, imagining a barbarian like a barbarian with a wooden platoon to defend herself and rush to the earthen hill at all, and even the Second Highness welcomes her to do so, which makes the longbowmen's concentrated fire shooting very effective, and no one can stand the shock of a round of hundreds of feathered arrows on the wooden platoon.

"Ah......h

"What's wrong with you?" Birchek forced Reddy back with two swords, and retreated to his companion with one lunge, blocking the attack of the Munster Archswordsman.

"I've been stabbed here, and I can't die. The Great Swordsman of Xiandi came up, did you ......," the Great Swordsman of the Principality of Sabaji asked through gritted teeth.

Birchek peeked down and saw that the whole person was not good, and he was in a hurry to resist: "What's the matter, the Immortal Great Swordsman can't rush up......"

The Great Swordsman of Munster and Reddy were already beating the Reservoir Dogs now, and they had strengthened their offensive respectively, wishing they had both of them kept. Birchek guarded the great swordsman of the Sabaji Principality and retreated step by step, and he was almost on the edge of the mound.

Suddenly, Bilchek threw the long sword in his hand at the great swordsman of Munster, and when the great swordsman of Munster was stunned by his hand and hurriedly dodged, he turned over and rolled down from the mound with the great swordsman of the Duchy of Sabaji, Reddy pounced, and the long sword was extended, which just stabbed Birchek in the left thigh.

"Whoa......" The two great swordsmen of the principality rolled down in disgrace, and then the soldiers of the principality rushed over and brought the two great swordsmen back.

"It's a pity, I didn't expect that Birček and the two great swordsmen would use such a method to escape, if there was a long team of archers just now, they would have become targets for arrows. His Royal Highness was a little regretful: "But the current situation is already very good, the great swordsmen of these two principalities have been abolished by you, and I see if there is any way to attack the only one Immortal Great Swordsman." ”

In the evening, there was a heavy snow in the sky.
