Section 74 War

Twenty-three priests...... Sixty cannons...... There were also muskets, armor, weapons, food, ...... Kedassa thought with some satisfaction. The facts have confirmed the sincerity of all sides, and it seems that everyone is seriously supporting the war between the Hama and the vampires. In particular, the Ryan people actually gave all kinds of weapons, including cannons, to the Hama, who were once sworn enemies.

But if you think about it, it's not outrageous. Although this is a considerable amount of goods, they are insignificant compared to the cost of a war. It was indeed profitable for them to pay this level of price in exchange for a decisive battle between the Hambins and the vampires.

"Excuse me, when will the war begin?" asked the leading priest this time. His tone was very polite, and it could be seen that he was quite dissatisfied with the situation just now. You must know that although the Binmen also believe in the gods of the Star Domain on the surface, there are still many ancient beliefs left within them. Although the exact number of the Dao is unknown, there is no doubt that a large number of them still believe in those hypocritical ancient gods. In the past, there have been more than one dispute in the church over whether the Hama are considered a powerful force in the Order, but in the end it was decided to recognize their religious identity.

BΓ©ral opened his eyelids a little (he had been closing his eyes a moment ago) and looked at the priest who spoke. Only at this moment did a sharp gaze flash in his lazy eyes.

Unaware of it, Kedassa was just in the midst of a ecstasy of power. The fact in front of me is that on the surface, these materials are given to the entire Bin, but in fact, all of them are in the hands of Kedasa at the moment. Even if they want to divide next, they will only get a very limited share. It won't be long before the other tribes will have to bow to Kedasa because of their lack of supplies. "It will take more than ten days. We need enough time to settle our people. ”

Bayral closed his eyes. On the surface, it seemed that he had kept his eyes closed and remained motionless, except for Robin, who had been paying attention to him, to see a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, more people came. It was a real big meeting, and the whole place was packed, many of whom Robin had seen before at the Binn meeting.

What was discussed next was something that Robin didn't quite understand. Because they all communicate in the local dialect of the Hama people. Although almost all dialects are inextricably linked to the lingua franca, Robin still does not understand it when he speaks quickly. However, there was more than one person who could not understand the scene. At least the priests of those churches didn't understand it. Robin saw that the priest who took the lead had a straight face and did not speak, but there was a trace of confusion and confusion in his eyes. As for Beller, Robin simply heard him snore.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Kedasa suddenly spoke loudly in the lingua franca, and as he spoke, the voices of the others calmed down. "In terms of tactics, I decided to follow the advice of General Bayer. This is General Bayer, who once led a large army and razed the excellent commander of Callean, the 'Vampire Slayer'. ”

Bayral stood to his feet. His reaction was so fast that Robin even wondered if he had heard him snoring just now. But at least on the outside, Beller doesn't look like he just woke up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you've all seen what I've written. Actually, my idea is very simple, that is, to play to the strengths and avoid the weaknesses. Bayral paused to strengthen his tone. "What are the vampires' strengths? His undead legions are depraved and dangerous enemies, they don't need to eat, drink, or rest, they don't know how to retreat, and they can't be bought. This is the advantage of the enemy. But in turn, the undead legions of vampires are born purely for war, they can't operate machinery, can't build, can't even dig trenches. They don't understand what danger is, when they need to retreat, when they need to attack. And what they lack most is the ability to attack and defend the city. Based on this, I developed this tactic, which I would like to call 'Fort Advance Tactic'. ”

"I'm sure you've all seen the map. Sivania and Mill are separated by mountains, and there is only one road in between. The vampire has taken over Sivania by fear, deception and lies, so he will never allow our army to enter Sivania. Because as soon as we enter Sivania, we will declare his reign of terror bankrupt. He's bound to stop us in this way!, and we'll be able to rely on the fortress advance tactics to build up small victories and destroy the main vampire forces in one fell swoop......"

For the first time, Robin saw Baylor give such an impassioned speech, so full of confidence, and this high emotion unconsciously affected everyone. By the time Beller finished speaking, most of the crowd applauded, while a few exchanged ears. Robin believes they all appreciate Baylor's plan.

"Your Excellency, my lord, you said it very well. When Bayrell was over, Robin couldn't help but go up. "I almost thought you were telling the truth. ”

"I'm telling the truth. Bayral replied.

At this time, Kedasa declared the meeting closed.

"You didn't say it was for ......," Robin asked in surprise. "Hmm......" He looked left and right, and although he couldn't see anyone paying attention to him, he still didn't dare to say anything.

"The reason may not be that, but my words are not false. Bayral replied softly. "Vampires do stop them in this way...... Let's put it this way, if the Hama pass through this passage between the mountains, then it means that the vampires have lost completely. ”

"For what?"

"Because there's only one vampire. Bayral replied. "They don't have a second commander. There is no way to divide the undead legion. ”

"But, didn't the vampires organize a rebel army?"

"Those are ordinary people. At first, perhaps to hide the truth as much as possible, the vampires did not accept necromancers. It was true that he was only joined by the Necromancer after the official occupation of Sivania. In this case, the necromancer's loyalty is questionable, leaving the army under the command of someone he doesn't trust...... This should only be done as a last resort. And the commander of the Bind, how many as there are. Therefore, the vampires must stop the Binh army in this valley. If we get the Bind army to reach Sivania and gain a foothold, it means that they have destroyed the main force of the undead legion. Bayral replied categorically. "Those priests will lock on to the vampire in battle, and once the vampire is defeated, he will never have a chance to make a wave. ”

By this time, the meeting had come to an end. Everyone else left, even Kedassa and the priests of the church. The originally lively and crowded conference room is now only Beleur and Robin. Nominally, he was the official "provisional governor" of the locality, and he lived in this mansion.

"My lord, in this way, the ideal strategy of the Bins is...... Find a way to get through this valley and try to open up as many battlefields as you can to keep the vampires off guard?" Robin thought.

"That's a mistake. The ideal strategy of the Hama is to fight the vampires in this valley. ”

"For what? Didn't you just say that opening up multiple battlefields is a big no-no for vampires. ”

"Robin, you've seen the map. We've also seen it on the spot, do you think this kind of terrain is suitable for starting a large army?"

"Nope. Robin replied honestly. Such terrain, except for those particularly narrow passes, should be able to accommodate an army of about five or six thousand people to deploy, and no more.

"That's it. Baylor pointed to the map on the wall. "Except for a small piece of land in the middle...... What's that place called? Oh, it's called Purple Stone. The rest of the entire valley was of this width, if not narrower, and was only suitable for the deployment of an army of about five thousand men. And have you noticed that except for the two great elders of the Bin, Kaidasa and Damon, the army size of the other Binshi leaders is roughly this number. ”

"Ah......h

In other words, a battle of about 5,000 people is the most suitable for the Hama clan. This kind of fighting is the best way to exert its combat effectiveness and reduce the disadvantages caused by internal disunity. Moreover, Kedasa would also support this tactic, because in this way, he would have the opportunity to deplete the strength of other bosses in the name of it. ”

"So, the worst outcome will be this: the vampires will definitely deploy troops in the valley to meet them. The Hama will take turns fighting vampires in a tribe-by-tribe manner. If they can win, they can move forward. If they fail, they will retreat to the interior of the prepared camp and defend against the danger. The battle between the two sides turned into a simple war of attrition. The Bins gradually advanced, building camp after camp, occupying the entire valley step by step. There will be no decisive victory or defeat. In the end, either the Binzu paid a huge price and wiped out the main force of the undead legion. Then, in the final battle, kill the vampire. This is the winning strategy against the undead army...... Because humans can build strong camps to rely on, but the undead legions cannot. ”

He finished the last few sentences in a slightly ambiguous tone. And Robin got it all right.

"Casualties are inevitable, but in theory, it's a must-win tactic. If it weren't the Hama now, but the Ryan people who put their army under my command, I would have used this tactic as well. Beller suddenly changed his words. "On the surface, this seems to be the case, so the Hama clan has no choice but to accept my suggestion......"

"Surface?"

"Yes, on the surface...... Robin. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"Get me a snack. Bayral touched his belly. "Eat more now, and when the war begins, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to eat snacks. ”

......

The air was filled with the stench of rotting flesh.

Kedasa looked at the battlefield in front of him contentedly. A group of his men were burning the bodies. The ground was littered with broken corpses, both fresh and rotting.

In his rear, the soldiers responsible for the construction of the fortifications were in full force. This level must be built before the next attack of the vampires. But it must be said that the vampire offensive is really weak. The terrain is narrow, and the undead march slowly. Cannons, muskets, and crossbows inflicted heavy casualties before the two sides entered close combat, destroying at least half of the enemy. The Halberd Man was able to resolve the battle below without suffering a small number of casualties.
