Lancelot and Jason were both outstanding commanders in the army, and both of them had seen a lot of the world, but they were still very shocked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Originally, it was thought that after the stone bridge was demolished, it would be possible to hold off the army for several days, and at least it would take them five days to build a stable pontoon bridge.

It would take at least ten days to fully pass through this fast-flowing river, which was swamped by torrential rains, and time was of the essence for them.

All that was left to do now was to delay as much time as possible and wait for the other routes to come in for support, which was the strategy that was originally devised in the first place.

But what was presented to them at this time was an unbelievable shocking scene, a large number of soldiers of the Church of Light stepped into the river one after another.

"Are they all crazy? Trying to wade across the river in this situation? This is simply looking for death, and no matter how much they die, they won't succeed. ”

Jason's eyes widened, this scene was really beyond common sense, even if it was to build a pontoon bridge, it would be delayed for a few days at most.

Is human life so despicable compared to these few days? Are the people who command this army stupid or mad?

"Normally, that's true, but if you look closely, the people who wade in the water have something strapped to each of them, you look at that position. ”

Lancelot shook his head, and he pointed at the soldiers on the river bank who were about to cross the river, and motioned for Jason to look more closely, if there was anything he had missed.

Both of them have much better eyesight than ordinary people, and with the recent invention of a simple telescope, they can see clearly from a distance.

"Which location? This is...... Sandbags and clods of earth? Do these believers tie these things to themselves and sink to the bottom of the river holding each other's hands when they enter the river, relying on their weight to keep themselves from being washed away? What are they going to do, if this goes on...... They're not going to ......."

Jason had a bad guess in his head, staring wide-eyed at the crazy people who weren't playing their cards according to common sense at all.

"That's right, they will use the death of a group of soldiers to build a 'bridge' built of flesh and blood in the shortest possible time. ”

Lancelot confirmed Jason's guess and shook his head slightly, looking at the soldiers' faces with deep eyes, and the expressions on their faces were very complicated.

"Aren't they all afraid of death? There is a better way to do this? If you want to cross this river completely, at least hundreds, or even thousands, of people will have to die, and they will sacrifice in vain, and this sacrifice is meaningless, what is going on?"

Jason was an eye-opener, he never thought that there would be soldiers so crazy that they would take the initiative to reduce their numbers before the battle began.

"Look at the expressions on the faces of the soldiers who are preparing on the riverbank, fear? ”

Lancelot handed the telescope back to Jason, pointed to the riverbank, and motioned for Jason to look more closely, which was even more shocking.

"They're smiling? With such a pious expression, they don't think they're really relieved?

After Jason took the binoculars and saw it clearly, he took a deep breath, he had never seen such a crazy way of playing after so many years.

"It seems that we have to adjust our preparations, we have to use more forceful means to stop their advance, just tearing down bridges and so on, it won't make much difference to them, and we can't defeat them without greater determination. ”

Lancelot waved for Jason to get out of here, they had a deeper understanding of the army, almost from the soul.

"But such a meaningless attrition will cause a lot of losses when the time comes to the actual battlefield, and let the soldiers die like this, the commander of the army is not distressed at all, has not calculated such gains and losses? This is not the slightest military common sense, and this is really too strange. ”

Jason frowned, he still couldn't understand the other party's purpose in doing this, and letting more than a thousand people die like this was tantamount to losing a small battle.

"In fact, if you analyze them carefully, these are some 'crazy people', they can't be called soldiers at all, they don't need training at all, they don't need equipment, they can rush towards us fanatically, they are not afraid of death, even if we repel them this time, there will still be a lot of them, endlessly, such people will attack the border, think about this is a very terrible thing, it makes people's backs chill. ”

Lancelot turned on his horse, and he looked back at the riverbank, and it would be a long time to cross the river completely, and it would take at least two days.

The rain washed over his armor and made a "clang" sound, and they didn't have time to observe it all the time, now that they had the information.

All they had to do now was to retreat immediately and make a new deployment, and the previous preparations were not enough to stop them.

"No need for training and equipment, can everyone become soldiers? No wonder my lord proposed to wait until the war on all sides is over, he will march westward and fight to the holy city in one go, originally to solve this big trouble at once, but can this kind of thing really be done?"

Jason mounted his horse at the same time, and several horsemen followed them, stepping on the stirrups off the hillside and galloping towards the land on the east side.

"I don't know, after all, the Holy City is the stronghold of the Church of Light, and it hasn't fallen for hundreds of years since it was built, and it will probably take a lot of effort to break through the city, but that's all for later, and we shouldn't think about it now. ”

Lancelot thought about it, and quickly dispelled this thought, after all, the battle in front of him was not over yet, and it was not appropriate to think too long.

"That's right, you still have to fight the battle in front of you first, but then again, it's been more than two months, and I don't know what happened to the Storm Fortress in the north now, although the gap in strength there is the smallest, but to comprehensively defeat the elven army, just thinking about it, it's not an easy thing. ”

Jason looked to the north from afar, and while they were trying to stop the Crusade of Light, the battle for the Northern Storm Fortress was still in full swing.

With the four fronts of the empire at a stalemate, only the northern front, which Lin Ye personally sits, can open up the situation.

Once the elven army is defeated and Lin Ye is free, the current passive situation will be greatly reversed.

But if the situation is not opened for a long time, then the problem will be serious, and the key point now is in the north, the north!
