Taking advantage of the slow movement of the other side, Li Simin launched a large-scale military training activity near the city of Pilgen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThose members of the Demon Wolf Commando who had received Fang Ruitao's brutal training became the instructors of these civilian armies, and under their special training, coupled with the leading role of a large number of veterans, those soldiers who were civilians more than a month ago have become more like an army.

Li Simin selected in the army, leaving only those who cultivated battle qi, which reduced the original nearly 300,000 soldiers of the People's Army to about 60,000. Although the vast majority of these soldiers were apprentices, this was enough, and Li Simin put many Demon Wolf Commandos into the People's Army as senior officers, and the low-ranking officers who surrendered to Cheng among the captives were their deputies, responsible for directing the operation, and a barely usable combat structure was finally built.

Li Simin stepped up his training, and the ignorant General Pajie thought that he had a plan, marching only at night every day, and keeping watch around when camping, and any civilian who strayed within 100 meters of the camp would be secretly executed. The darkness of the night, and the difficulty of the roads, made their march extremely slow, and it took nearly a month for General Paje's army of 80,000 men to approach the city of Pilgen.

Every move of General Pajie's army was under the surveillance of the Hawkeye organization, and their movements were always under Li Simin's control, and she also used this time to train the soldiers of the People's Army so that she could have a better chance of victory.

Upon learning that the Duchy army had arrived twenty kilometers away, Li Simin immediately deployed his troops to the walls of Pilgan to defend it. These days, Li Simin has not been idle in addition to training equipment, fork rods, stone rolling logs have been prepared a lot, and more importantly, she has also rushed to make a thousand bows and trained a group of archers, although there are not many of these people, but it is already the best result she can do in a short period of time.

The Duchy army appeared outside the city in full form, and soon surrounded the city of Pilgan under the command of General Paje. The army of the Viking Duchy, as the strongest existence in the entire Hanseatic Alliance, was by no means comparable to the army of the Duchy of Buenos. Looking at those fighters who were full of fighting spirit, Li Simin didn't have much confidence in her heart, but the matter had come to this, even if she didn't have the confidence to win, she had to bite the bullet.

"Everybody is ready to defend. Li Simin personally commanded the battle on the South Gate City, where the other side was attacked, and handed over the other three sides to the commanders of the Demon Wolf Commando and their deputies who had just turned from captives to officers of the People's Army.

Half of the 1,000 archers were placed in the direction of the main attack, and seeing the enemy marching closer and closer, 500 archers lined up at the head of the city and launched an attack on the dense enemy army outside. These longbows were only made in a hurry, and there was no yew wood available here, nor did they tame the bows for so long, so these products were just shoddy, and the range was only more than 100 meters at most, which was still a favorable condition for attacking from top to bottom at the head of the city.

The rain of arrows that is not dense cannot stop the opponent's attack, and the damage it causes is very limited, but after all, it has caused some casualties to the enemy, and the effect is still obvious compared to the number of archers.

The soldiers carrying the ladder approached the wall, and they shouted and erected the ladder in front of the small wall. Rolling logs rained down, and a large number of forks pushed ladders to the ground with the combined efforts of the people, and the first attack of the Duchy army was quickly defeated.

General Pajie did not care about the lives of his soldiers, and he attacked the city regardless of casualties. The soldiers of the Principality were extremely brave, and they continued to attack the city, even if they suffered heavy casualties, and many corpses soon piled up under the city.

The materials for defending the city were rapidly decreasing, and after several rounds of attacks, the rocks and logs were finally exhausted, and the soldiers of the principality, who had lost their suppression, finally attacked the city. The two sides met for the first time, and the civilian troops who had just entered the battlefield were obviously a little timid and could not give full play to their strength at all. At this time, the role of the veterans among the prisoners who surrendered was revealed, and those veterans bravely rushed forward and slashed at the enemy with their long swords.

Since the civilian army was equipped with a large number of steel weapons brought from the Shouyang territory, in the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, their more sophisticated weapons prevailed, and those principality troops only had iron swords or spears in their hands, which could not be compared with the civilian army at all. The soldiers of the principality were all coming to the city one after another, and they were always at a disadvantage in numbers, while the soldiers of the civilian army relied on their superiority in numbers and weapons to quickly eliminate those soldiers of the principality who landed in the city.

The Duchy army attacked three more times, each time to reach the city, but they had no chance in front of the brave soldiers of the Nationals. Especially after the recruits of the Civilian Army got used to the atmosphere of the battlefield, their combat effectiveness increased steadily, causing more and more casualties to the Duchy army.

General Pajie finally couldn't take it anymore, and after suffering thousands of casualties, they chose to retreat and camp to rest. General Pajie also had a wealth of combat experience, and in order to prevent the other side from stealing the camp, he sent a large number of patrols to guard the surrounding area after setting up camp.

Looking at the enemy troops camped in the distance, Li Simin smiled slightly, and she said to Ben Muhai beside her: "Give you a task." ”

"Lady Twelve, please command, and your subordinates will do it well. When Ben Muhai heard that there was a mission, he immediately became excited.

Li Simin pointed to the enemy's camp and said: "Send a small team of commandos to harass around the other party, you can shout and kill, or eliminate some patrols, or fire two combat skills at the camp, in short, you must fatigue the other party and not let them sleep, but you are not allowed to attack directly." ”

"Why? There shouldn't be many masters in their battalion. Ben Muhai asked.

Li Simin smiled slightly: "These people are the main force of the principality's army, and those soldiers are all elites, wouldn't it be good if they were used by us." What we need is to capture all these soldiers, and if we only crush them and scatter them all over the principality, it will be extremely detrimental to our future rule. You can defeat them and break up the formation of these soldiers, but if you want to destroy them without leaking, you need a large army. ”

"The subordinates understood, and the subordinates of the Twelfth Lady must do a good job. "Ben Muhai hurried to assemble the two squadrons that could still be used, divided the time for them to act, each squad launched an attack for an hour, and each team took turns to attack and rest to maintain combat effectiveness.
