Because the traces were discovered by the earl's side, when the combined forces rushed here, some soldiers in the opposite fortifications had already entered the fortifications and began to prepare for defensive operations.

The leaders of several thieves, including Carson, discussed it together, and decided that since the other side was already prepared, it was impossible to sneak attack, so let's attack directly, anyway, even the most cautious among them Carson didn't think that they would be able to break through a small manor with all the advantages, although the earl's manor was really not small.

Since it was decided to storm and the fortifications on the opposite side were considered strong and reasonable, it was decided that everyone would rest for an hour, recover the physical strength and spirit consumed all day, and then go to battle head-on.

Looking back, the Earl's hastily reorganized more than 200 people came to the first and only line of defense on the outermost, after all, this is only a manor, and it is prudent enough to build a line.

However, it is a defensive line, which is actually the outermost iron fence, and the several defense towers and garrison bunkers located on its inner side.

The former is a kind of square platform about four meters high, about one meter higher than the high platform that the earl went up just now, with a total of three floors. The top floor is a wooden fence with no walls on all sides, only a roof for rain protection, which is used to warn and attack long-range enemies with bows and muskets, and the second and lowest floors are sealed on all sides with only a few shooting holes to defend against the enemy's blind spot on the top floor when approaching the tower.

Each tower can be equipped with a maximum of a squad of sixteen troops, and each floor is a small group, which is a relatively common and practical fortification.

The latter garrison bunker is actually somewhat similar to the function of the tower, except that the bunker is used to hide soldiers and attack the enemy's defense structure from the ground with spear-like weapons, and the general bunker can also accommodate a squad of troops.

However, due to the limited number of troops on the earl's side, all the defensive structures are not in a state of dissatisfaction, after all, it is necessary to leave enough troops to face the enemy's attack and reserves head-on.

After the Earl led the team here, he immediately began to adjust the deployment of troops, there were only two teams in each defensive building, that is, ten people, and half of them were the guys brought by the Earl, that is, those rookies, the Earl wanted nothing more than to use the old to bring the new, so that these rookies could quickly adapt to the battlefield.

Of course, another point is that the earl does not trust the ability and psychological quality of these rookies when they fight head-on, so as not to be frightened and flee as soon as the enemy comes, thus disturbing the morale and military formation, the earl thinks that it is the blessing of the true gods. Fighting in fortifications can be very good to avoid the Achilles' heel of recruits.

At the same time, the people in the defense tower were equipped with bows and arrows, fortunately the count had prepared enough bows and arrows for this day, and most of the arrows had been transported to the tower just now, in this kind of defensive warfare, long-range weapons were extremely necessary, and the number of muskets was too small, so bows and arrows were of course indispensable.

As for the musket, of course, it was to be used intensively on the ground, so that concentrated fire could be formed and cause mass destruction.

The flintlock gun is a firearm that works wonders against dense formations, but only if both sides are on the same level for maximum lethality. On the other hand, bows and arrows are generally more powerful when they are thrown, and even the most powerful archers have a certain arc when shooting arrows, so condescending can best exert the power of bows and arrows.

'It's a veteran who has been in the army for many years. Keerlius sighed inwardly without restraint.

――――――

In this fantasy continent called Avelon, bows and arrows are the most commonly used long-range weapons of various countries and races, and modern bows and arrows developed and perfected by adhering to the concept of high-end alchemy have excellent adaptability, durability and attack, and are second to none in terms of power and range among individual long-range weapons.

Others such as muskets or throwing guns are completely incomparable, and bows and arrows firmly occupy the dominant position of long-range weapons, after all, bows and arrows are more dominant in the original collection and production process, and muskets, which should have been developed, have not developed at all because of the scarcity of saltpeter.

The highest-end standard bow and arrow on the road has a maximum effective range of about 700 meters, and almost all countries and governments with regular military liliang use this type of pulley bow and arrow called Armtrand.

It is a strange-looking bow and arrow, with a pair of round gears at each end, a T-shaped sight at the middle end of the bow, and a shock bar and counterweight, which is a modern bow and arrow of another dimension. Even because of the difference in materials and the high physical fitness of the humans here, it far exceeded the range of bows and arrows over there, reaching a maximum range of more than 1,500 meters.

However, this maximum range is generally only available to hunters with higher professional levels and natural archers, and the Night Elves can maximize these advantages, and the average regular army can reach an effective range of seven or eight hundred meters at most, and if you count the hit rate, two hundred meters is considered good.

At this time, the earl's side was equipped with some bows and arrows of this standard, about a hundred sets, and the garrison on the defense tower was divided into about forty sets, and the remaining sixty bows and arrows just formed a small team.

――――――

At this time, the count had more than 200 people in his hands, a squad of 60 musketeers, a squad of archers, and the remaining two squads were axe lancers with long-handled axes and spears, and shield armorers with a triangular shield in one hand and a one-handed sword in the other.

The musketeers were lined up in five rows at the foremost and fired in sections, as for the weishenme, they did not shoot in three sections. Can you expect these militiamen, who are not usually very trained, to skillfully reload and change formations?

The archers, divided into two groups of thirty men each, were located on the left and right sides of about two hundred meters behind the musket formation, holding down the formation and at the same time throwing and dynamizing the enemy.

In the middle of them were the shieldmen and the axemen, the shields in front and the axes and spearmen behind, and when the enemy approached, the musketeers in front would retreat behind them, and they would block the enemy's attack.

By the way, the positions of two hundred people on the ground were located a little later from the tower, and the bunker was located in front of the tower, behind the fence.

While the Count was reorganizing the recruits, who were not very skilled in the formation, an hour passed quickly, and the opposing bandit army began to adjust its formation, and the rough and loud roars and curses were so that the battle was about to begin.

The combined forces began the first wave of the offensive, but it was the first wave of the offensive, and it was basically the whole army together, and there was not much of a desperate attack in the reserves. After all, it is a thief group with no experience in large-scale team combat, and the management is chaotic and the organization is unknown, and even each thief group has no even the most basic link with each other, and is completely divided into several waves by itself.

The earl looked at the opposite side of the offensive formation, which was divided into five directions and ranged from dozens to hundreds, and revealed a cheerful daxiao voice: "Haha...... , The Lord of Order Bixia is above, it seems that it is not a problem to hold this place at all, if it weren't for the lack of people on my hands, I would have the heart to wipe them out. ”

Even Wei Pa and Harrison, who were standing next to them, kept nodding, and the bloodthirsty light in Wei Pa's eyes couldn't hold back any longer: "Your Excellency, I see that I am also going into battle to carry out activities, I have been here for a few months, and I have not killed a few, so I have to have a good time today." ”

After saying that, the Viscount of Luxembourg next to him frowned, looked at this bloodthirsty beast with disdain, sighed, and thought in disgust: "A barbarian is a barbarian, uneducated, and crazy about killing, if this kind of person is not more sensitive now, he would have killed you a long time ago." ’

The Earl didn't care much about his personality, but because of his long military career, he had a good impression of a straightforward war maniac like Weipa, after all, this kind of person was most needed in the army. The Earl was in a good mood now, looked at Wei Pa, who was inviting to fight, and said casually: "Since Your Excellency the captain wants to go, then it's better to go, just pay attention to safety." ”

"You don't have to worry about that, then I'm on. Vepa seemed a little anxious, and did not pay much attention to the Count's politeness, and when he heard the Count's promise, he turned around and mounted directly on the mount he had brought, the three-peaked camel of Mount Golga, and rushed towards the junction of the two armies.

The Count shook his head, he knew that even if he didn't agree, the bloodthirsty barbarian would not hesitate to rush forward, after all, he was not the Earl's subordinate, so he simply pushed the boat and agreed to his request to fight.

Anyway, for that experienced dragon knight, this kind of opponent shouldn't cause him much damage, this is the Earl's conclusion after looking at the other side.

The group of thieves on the opposite side was extremely rough in even the most basic tactical movements, which was also expected. That is, the warrior class charges chaotically in the front, and the hunters and spellcasters follow behind, and there is nothing new to speak of. The only thing to praise is probably the movement of the cavalry.

The pair of cavalry of about sixty people followed the line of sight to pry open the flank of the toppled fence and attack, which seemed to have some tactical literacy, and knew that they had to outflank in a roundabout way, but they only stayed at the basic use. However, the commander of a squad cannot be expected to have any too high military level, and he can be considered an excellent officer if he can reach the basic qualification.

Just as the cavalry squad made a detour to the other side, intending to flank the Count's formation, the frontal battlefield also began to make contact.

The shield warriors in the front row raised their shields above their heads at a forty-five degree angle, which was a good defense against the angle of arrows fired from the towers in front of them. After all, the archers in the tower in front of them, whether they shoot or shoot horizontally, even if they shoot Xiangxia, they will not fall vertically, they must fall from obliquely above. So unless it is a dense infantry phalanx, the shield must be raised at a forty-five degree angle.

The shield warriors held their shields aloft, covering behind them some of the stronger berserkers who looked like they knew that their profession was very high, and they were ready to destroy the outer fence directly.

After all, the fence of the manor is three meters high, and most of the people in the joint forces of the Thieves still need to borrow some tools if they want to climb it, otherwise even if they barely climb over, they will have to pay huge losses.

And it was clear that the bands of thieves who came in a hurry could not have prepared these tools, they were thieves, subjects of His Highness Dakol, not regular troops.

However, the regular army has its methods, and they have their methods, after all, they are tried and tested veterans, and the thieves have naturally discovered a set of simple and applicable combat methods in their many years of tasks and private work, and now it is time for them to show them.

Under the cover of the shield warriors, this group of berserker professionals finally approached the fence, but they did not act immediately, but stopped about a meter away from the fence and took an offensive posture, while the shield warriors next to them did not rush and continued to cover them.

"Gather your energy!" In the center of the battlefield, that is, at the fence, there was a burst of shouts, and the content of the shouts was heard by almost everyone. The faces of the Count and the few people around him turned ugly, they naturally knew the point of doing this on the other side, but the Count had no way to interrupt their Jihua, after all, the only musket team that could threaten them was too far away.

However, this is not a mistake on the part of the Count, as the Musketeers are powerful, but their defense is so poor that a salvo from the opposite side can cripple the precious Musketeers. Now the position of the musketeers is the only safe position at the moment, after all, there is also the protection of the defensive towers.

The guys on the other side are not without brains, and this method is stupid but practical. However, after all, it is the future father-in-law, so let's help them. Although they ignored me, it made me very unhappy. Although I also know that most people don't trust the combat experience of newcomers, I have to let them experience it anyway, and the Six-Ring Magician is not something that can be done just by paying lip service. Keleus thought to himself, and naturally his hands did not stop.

While taking out some spell casting materials, he muttered magic spells, and drew runes in a complex but orderly manner in his hands, it seemed that he was preparing a relatively high-end magic spell, and the surrounding magic fluctuations made the chief advisor of Gala not far away couldn't help but look sideways.

"Charge!" After about two or three seconds, there was a shout on the battlefield, and then everyone heard a series of dull loud noises.

~~~~~~~There was a loud bang, and a puff of gray-yellow smoke came from the fence, and the thieves of the thieves let out an excited cry and quickly rushed in through the smoke.

However, they were not happy for long before they were hit in the head, and in the hole of the garrison bunker arranged behind the fence, a dense array of spears stretched out, even if the wooden-handled spears were not of good quality, but they reaped enough results.
