Chapter 181: Preparations
The exercise between the militia and the allies ended, and the militia unsurprisingly won, and the seamless cooperation and flexible changes in the battle formation made the fighting allies powerless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The vanguard general's face was a little ugly, although the strength of his people was slightly inferior to that of the eight hundred militia, but on the battlefield, the gap in strength would be diluted by the number of people, and his side was a professional soldier, and his combat effectiveness in the war should be much stronger than that of the militia.
But the current fact is that the elite selected by himself has been defeated!
Yes, a rout.
From the very first moment of the battle, the lightly allied forces rushed into the militia formation, but the next day, their expected idea of splitting the militia in a battle formation did not materialize.
The militia dispersed the moment the Allied forces rushed into formation, broke into pieces, and moved nimbly to the position of the leader to regroup the battle formation.
The new combination of battle formations is very close to the Allies, and the Allies cannot launch a second charge, so they can only choose to fight close to the white.
The militiamen were not afraid of white-knuckle combat, they stuck to their positions, kept their responsibilities in mind, and used the subtle changes and tacit cooperation of the battle formations to crush into the Allied battle formations like spinning millstones, and then showed their teeth and fangs to tear the formation apart.
The battle formation was broken, and the ranged units and cavalry were exposed to the swords of the militia.
The next thing doesn't need to be said in detail, the protection of the battle formation was lost, the crossbowmen and cavalry could not be exported smoothly, and they were quickly reduced under the siege of the militia of the Tongmai Realm.
The sword and shield soldiers on the periphery wanted to rush in to the rescue, but the militia had already changed their defensive formation, wrapping the allied crossbowmen and cavalry in it to strangle, while resisting the charging of the outer Allied forces.
The crossbowmen and cavalry were killed, and the combat effectiveness of the Allied side was sharply reduced by half, coupled with the floating mind, it was quickly broken by the militia in one fell swoop.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, there were only three incense sticks in total, and the allies were defeated, and everyone's faces were not good-looking.
The vanguard general took a deep breath and said to Li Rong: "Marshal Li has trained his troops well, and the last general admires it. ā
Li Rong nodded, knowing that he was unconvinced, but he was not in a hurry to subdue him, now give the allies a dismount, so that they dare not make a mistake, and when the beast tide is over, he has a way to make them completely return to their hearts.
At the end of the exercise, the two sides left manpower to clean up the battlefield, and Li Rong took away the quartermaster and the vanguard general, so that they could get acquainted with the military advisers and commanders and get to know each other.
Then Li Rong took the guards to the outside of the fortress to inspect the aqueduct fortifications and inquire about the degree of completion.
"Marshal, before the beast tide comes, I'm afraid this canal can't be completed, we can only do a good job of hiding and fortifications first, and then finish it after the beast tide is over. The sapper said to Li Rong.
"The matter of the canal is not to be completed overnight, I am very satisfied that you can complete the progress you have made now, the beast tide is coming soon, you pack up your things and rush back to the fortress as soon as possible, the fortifications and traps in the fortress still need to be maintained, and you have set up temporary medical tents, the same number as last time. Li Rong said.
The sapper nodded yes and went back to help.
Li Rong took the guards to the oasis again, staring at the turquoise lake and hesitating, he pondered that the battlefield of the formation also has its own rules, these beast tides that came to attack the city definitely did not appear out of thin air, that is to say, the beasts living nearby were also part of the beast tide.
The beast needs food and water to survive, and the basic function of water in the Gobi is obtained from the oasis, if he puts some poison into the water, will it reduce the number of beast tides?
However, this idea was quickly rejected by him, the oasis is the foundation of the development of the fortress, and the daily water of the inhabitants and soldiers of the fortress is transported from the oasis, and if you poison the lake, it will also indirectly harm yourself.
Although there is more than one oasis in the Gobi, according to the news from the scouts, there is only one oasis near the fortress, and if you want to find another one, you will have to walk for seven or eight days to reach it.
Six months was a race, and Li Rong still had his own plans, not wanting to waste time and troops on transporting water.
Back at the fortress, Li Rong rushed to make a batch of primary formations overnight, and the four basic formations were basically complete.
Early the next morning, Li Rong took these spirit plates to the returning sappers and asked them if they could use them to build defensive array towers and the like.
The sappers did not respond immediately, saying that it might take some time to find out the answer.
Li Rong didn't say a word, and left all the spirit plates.
After that, Li Rong went to find Zhang Kaiyu again, the beast tide is coming, this combat power can not be ignored, no matter how you say it, it is also a martial artist who can enter the state capital assessment, and the combat effectiveness cannot be bad, let him guard the city wall for himself, then he can play a lot more space.
However, it was said that Zhang Kai took Li Rong's task list, and began to rectify the problems in the fortress step by step, from housing construction to civilization and hygiene, basically all chores were included, and there was a lot of resistance to doing it, and it was particularly boring, and he was thinking about finding an excuse to change the errand in a few days, but he didn't expect to be found by Li Rong first.
Li Rong's request Zhang Kaiyu didn't listen to it, he only knew that even if he fought against the beast tide, it was definitely easier than being a housekeeper, so he agreed without saying a word, and left the work in his hand and ran to the barracks.
Li Rong didn't say anything when he saw this, found a guard to continue to lead the militia to complete the things he had explained, and went to the orchard non-stop.
The sand dates in the orchard have already borne fruit, and the growth rate of the fruit trees is beyond Li Rong's expectations, maybe this is also the rule of the array battlefield.
Li Rong came to the orchard to raise sand dates, of course, not the ones that are borne on the trees now, they are not yet ready to be picked, and his goal is to win the sand dates left in the farmers' homes.
Dates are the largest crop for Gobi farmers, and generally speaking, in addition to paying the tax on the fortress, the rest will be exchanged for grain from the merchants, and it is impossible to give some of it to Li Rong.
Of course, that was before, and now the situation is that the merchants are on strike, and the farmers are helpless to guard the barns full of dates.
But even so, the farmers were not willing to hand over the dates to Li Rong like this. The follow-up of the two cases has not been cleared up, the popularity of the Marshal's Mansion in the fortress has been reduced, and the common people have no good feelings, of course, they can't hand over the hard-grown sand dates to Li Rong.
Li Rong had long anticipated this situation, so he promised the farmers that when the beast tide had passed, he would exchange the collected dates for grain and return them to the farmers within a month.
This is tempting to say this, although the popularity is not high, but the most powerful person in the fortress has to be the marshal, and the promise he made should not be unfulfilled.
But there was no evidence, and the peasants asked Li Rong to write a note, and Li Rong wrote it without saying a word, and stamped it with the official seal of the Marshal's Office. (To be continued.) )
