Chapter 363: Waiting for the Rabbit
readx;? The valley of despair is so deep that it normally takes half a day to fully pass through, even if Seda orders to speed up the march. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It would take about four hours to cross the valley, and after half a day and a night of travel, we would arrive at Dawn tomorrow.
In fact, this is indeed the best ambush location between Falcon Town and Dawning Town, and Lin Ye did choose to do it here.
Normally, it is best to do it in the middle of the valley, as it can put Seda in a dilemma.
But Lin Ye did not do this, and the place he chose to attack was at the end of the valley, that is, the location of the exit, and he himself went to the battlefield.
"Lord Duke, don't we really push a little inward? if we set up an ambush at the exit, it is simply to give them hope of escape, they will definitely fight to the death, after all, it is 8,000 soldiers, it will definitely put a lot of pressure on us. Crouff couldn't help but ask.
He is also an experienced officer, and he knows the most uncomfortable truth of blocking at both ends, and he is not the only officer who has the same opinion.
"At first glance it seems that this is true, seeing that the way is in front of you, and the soldiers do fight to the death, but that is also what it seems at first glance. ”
Lin Ye shook his head, although he didn't spend more than ten or twenty years in the army like Kruf and the others.
But he also has a unique advantage, that is, as a modern person, relying on the developed network, he has read a lot of ancient battles.
This made him think of a variety of battle templates, and his ability to read the battlefield was inherently stronger.
"What do you mean, my lord?" asked Crouff cautiously, a little unsure of what he was saying.
After all, Lin Ye has the absolute right to speak in the Far East, whether it is military, political or military, or even including various technical problems.
"If it were on other terrain, 8,000 soldiers fighting to the death would indeed be a terrible force, but in this kind of place, no matter how brave they were, no matter how brave they were, no matter how fearless they were, there were only a few dozen people who could fight at the same time, and many more would rush forward desperately driven by the will to survive. ”
Lin Ye stood at the top of the valley, looking condescendingly at the empty valley, the exit of which was about twenty meters wide.
This is not narrow, but if it is used as a battlefield, it can indeed only accommodate dozens of people at the same time.
"Originally, at the moment when they were about to leave the valley, when they were most relaxed, they chose to attack here, which would bring them a kind of gap, plus the influence of the will to survive, they would rush forward desperately, what do you think this means?"
Lin Ye turned around and asked Crouff rhetorically, it was not yet noon, it was still early, and he was still waiting patiently.
"Does it mean that they will ignore orders, trample on each other, and disrupt the formation?" Crouff was not stupid after all, and immediately grasped the key point.
Armies are called armies not only because they are well-equipped and have a large number of soldiers, but also because of discipline.
"If you fight them from the front, driven by the will to survive, they will burst out with more than ordinary combat power, it is indeed terrifying, but what awaits them is not a frontal battle formation, but a gift that we have carefully prepared. ”
Lin Ye looked behind him, a large number of orcs were carrying arrows to the valley, and it would take a lot of effort to climb up.
These arrows are about half the length of a normal arrow, and they are all packed in boxes and arranged very neatly.
Moreover, on each box of arrows, there is a seal marking the quantity and model of production, which are all products that have passed the acceptance.
The quality is not worse than that of the arrows produced by other military workshops on the mainland, and the output is higher.
After all, Lin Ye is produced according to the requirements of modern standardization, with strict management and staggering production efficiency.
The sturdy human soldiers, on the other hand, each wielded a longbow that was a marvel at the length of a man like Kluff who had seen so much of the world.
The Far Easterners were tall and burly enough, strong enough to fight bears.
But such a longbow was two-thirds the height of these Far Eastern soldiers, and if it was a slightly shorter one, it would be almost the same height.
The soldiers were putting the finishing touches on their longbows, and behind each longbowman was a young soldier handing arrows.
On the ground, there were many bows and arrows that were ready to shoot in the first few waves, and if they were on a frontal battlefield, they didn't need the cooperation of these soldiers.
The main purpose of Lin Ye sending these soldiers to assist was to let more soldiers personally participate in the war and absorb experience.
After all, a soldier who has experienced the baptism of war is not a profession at all compared to a soldier who has never seen blood.
"No matter how fierce and angry they may be, their opponents are nothing more than cold, deadly clusters of arrows, which are the best weapons to calm their anger and turn it into fear, a longbow of this calibre that pierces even heavy armor, let alone their leather armor and shields. ”
After a detailed investigation, Lin Ye was very clear about the equipment of this army.
"These longbows are terrible, I have been in the royal capital for so long, and I have never seen such a longbow. ”
Crouff grabbed a longbow and tried it in his hand, it was not easy to use such a bow skillfully.
"This kind of longbow has very high requirements for materials, even with the rich forest resources of the Far East, only 5,000 pieces can be made, and there is no way to make it in other places, even if it is imitated, it is an inferior product, and the accuracy and toughness cannot keep up. ”
Lin Ye smiled, this longbow was inspired by the English longbowmen, and it was a great battle in the Battle of Akukin.
If he dares to take out such a weapon, he is not afraid that the enemy will take it and copy it, and the material is a big problem.
"I see, and the requirements for the proficiency of the archer are also very high, right? It is different from the feel of a normal bow, and you must practice for at least a year to become proficient. "Crouff is no stranger to bows.
Different bows have different feelings, and even experienced archers suddenly change from ordinary bows to such a longbow.
It's not easier to shoot with the same accuracy than ordinary people.
"Yes, this is the most sincere gift we can give to our guests from the Medusa family, is Thor ready?"
He asked the officer behind him, Thor was a native of the Far East, with a strong build, and was an officer of the First Army.
"It's ready, four hundred generals of the First Army will block the valley mouth!" Dussel replied.
Four hundred men did seem like a small number, much worse than eight thousand, but this terrain only allowed a few dozen people to fight at the same time.
There was a dull sound of footsteps at Taniguchi, and four hundred heavily armored First Army soldiers began to move, they would be the most desperate and difficult fortress for the Basilisk army! )
