"Idiot, the king never planned to do anything from the beginning. He just felt unhappy because you were threatened by some miscellaneous soldiers." The Knight under the Moon flipped his hair and looked at the Earth Knight sideways from the corner of his eyes: "Although the King will not punish You guys. But don¡¯t forget Dadi, before you became the Twelve Guardian Knights, you were a member of the October Knights under my command. As my direct subordinate you actually made the king feel distressed by this great crime. It's best for me to wake up after returning to King Pu Lun City."
Almost as expected, the words of the Knight under the Moon immediately stunned the Knight of the Earth.
When the Earth Knight saw the Moon Knight's expression of "I will definitely train you well", it was the first time that he felt that even the angry king was so amiable[]
"Hahahahaha!! Dadi, you deserve it! Hahahahaha!!" the Paladin Knight laughed happily.
"Shut up!! Holy Spear, you bastard!" the Earth Knight shouted with tears streaming down his face.
The yelling of the two people aroused dissatisfaction from the Song Knight and the Moon Knight at the same time.
"Hey, hey, please be quiet! This is the king's palace!" the Psalm Knight stopped the two of them.
"Really, it seems that even etiquette issues need to be carefully considered." The Knight under the Moon thought as he slapped his forehead.
The guardian knights gathered together in front of the king, fighting together regardless of each other.
There were laughter, sighs, and some even wanted to burst into tears
Huh~~Xia put her left hand on her forehead and looked at the commotion of the guardian knights below.
Although these guys are very reliable partners and subordinates, how can I put it, sometimes they are too naive in front of me
?????????????? Well, it¡¯s like a child who deliberately makes trouble and then finds out.
Although it occasionally gives people a headache, it is surprisingly not annoying. On the contrary, even on the bloody battlefield there is a feeling of being at home.
"Hmph What a group of lovely guys. At this point, even the king, who is regarded as a god among men, cannot accept the fact that you will leave the king's side."
With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, the bangs in front of his forehead, and a relaxed smile on his face, King Pulun said this to the twelve guardian knights.
After all the fuss, Wang Yu and the guardian knights finally got down to business.
Opening the map interface of the system, a 3D rendering was immediately displayed in front of everyone. From east to west, a French blue formation stretching for more than twenty miles appeared on the screen. Opposite the French blue formation is the United Irish Army represented in red. If we just look at the formation and quantity
"The situation is very bad" the Song Knight said with a frown.
The Earth Knight pointed a broken wooden stick at the French army and said with a serious face: "My king, when you, the Song Knight and the Moon Knight rushed to the aid of London City, our army had already fought with the 100,000 invading army. We had several simple contacts. Although they were all small-scale outpost battles, we have to admit that they are indeed a group of legions with regular military qualities. The discipline can be said to be good, and most of the weapons and equipment are spears, iron swords, Mainly large shields and cavalry. Archers are supplementary but few in number."
Xia Ya nodded. He had thought of this from the moment the war with the Three Lions Leopard Army officially started. As the reputation of King Pu Lun City grew, the enemies he encountered naturally became stronger and stronger.
Gone are the days a year ago when a 40,000-strong regular army with elite equipment defeated a 150,000-strong militia with almost no decent weapons.
"Who is their leader? Are there any classifications for the army?" Xia Ya asked with a frown.
The person responsible for the frontline investigation is the Paladin Knight. For Jialan, the only native born and raised among the twelve guardian knights, he is the most suitable to explore the legion with roots in the same world as himself.
The Paladin Knight hammered his right shoulder and said to Char: "King, as you guessed. In our world, any army can be divided into four types. One, slave corps (including militia). Two, Mercenary legion. Three, regular army. Four, noble elite (Knights, Guards Corps, Noble Troops). Any army can be composed of one of these four, but most of them are mixed equipment. Moreover, similar to ours The kind of legion equipped with all militia that we encountered a year ago can be said to be relatively rare. The main mainland legions now generally use slave legions with a small number of regular soldiers, and then are led by several nobles to form the so-called regular army."
Pointing his finger to the right side of the big screen, which is the left wing of the French camp, the Paladin Knight continued: "Two days ago, our army faced off with the French army here. Although there were a lot of frictions during the period, it was surprisingly It's because neither side actually started a decisive battle. The invading French army's legion configuration was basically based on some slaves, with a number of about 50,000. Although the equipment was simple, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. At least, their huge base was enough to give us a headache. .There are also more than 20,000 mercenaries from the principalities of Spain and Portugal, but they don¡¯t need to worry too much, because the soldiers of these two countries are famous for their sea dragons and ground earthworms, and their land combat capabilities are not worth it at all. Mention it."
The Knight of Psalm moved his hand away from the left wing of the French army, and then clicked on the right wing: "The French Empire is a famously hierarchical country. In their constitution, it is enough to talk about how civilians deal with nobles. It's as thick as a book. So the left and right wings of the French army can be said to be one sky and one earth. The regular army and elite elites of the nobility are basically on the convex peak on the right. The surroundings are heavily guarded. Even I can't get too close. Now , the only information we know is that they are not only well-equipped, but also have high morale. The day before you guys came back, someone seemed to have seen a legion with the Three Lions flag stationed there. At that time, there was a lot of shouting on the mountain. ¡But the shouting stopped very quickly, which is quite strange.¡±
Three Lions Flag? Xia Ya narrowed his eyes slightly and exuded a cold aura. The Knights under the Moon and Psalm who were present had even colder eyes and an evil aura.
The wound on the right chest still seemed to be aching. Although he stabbed Carol with a burst of anger But as expected, this guy was not that easy to die.
Should we say that he is worthy of being the commander of the Three Lions and Leopards, Carol Badron? No, at this time, you should praise the opponent for his rich experience, which has been through hundreds of battles and is already familiar with everything on the battlefield. This man, Carol Badrun, might become a tough opponent that he didn't expect.
And, if we follow what the Paladin Knight said. So it goes without saying that the leader of the 100,000 enemy troops on the opposite side at this moment, except for that ruthless bastard, Xia Ya couldn't imagine what it would be like for a guy who is more arrogant and arrogant than himself to be driven by others. Well, to be precise, Char has already identified who the enemy leader is.
"One hundred thousand versus fifty thousand Really, why do we in the Royal City of Pu Lun always have to face such a hard battle with such a huge disparity every time." The Earth Knight frowned and said, even if God is unhappy with Pu Lun , and wouldn¡¯t he make such teasing again and again?
The words of the Earth Knight made Char raise his eyebrows. In a sense, the opponents in King Purun City were basically caused by Char So the Earth Knight was not so much complaining about the injustice of the gods in the sky. , is it better to say that he is complaining that Xia Ya keeps causing trouble for himself?
¡°Hehe, a sneer appeared at the corner of Xia Ya¡¯s mouth. A sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Turning his head, Char, with an expressionless face, quietly lowered his head in the ear of the Knight under the Moon.
"About the issue of the Earth Knightthe troublesome methods are doubled."
The knight under the moon nodded indifferently.
"Don't worry, I will always remember him in my heart, King."
The conversation between the two was heard by the Paladin Knight on the side. He looked at the earth with pity in a cold sweat, praying for his upcoming unfortunate hell.
Ignoring this for now, as the screen twisted, the image switched to the side of the United Irish Army.
Forty thousand Irish Union troops plus more than nine thousand Pullen soldiers (600 soldiers stayed in the century-old Blood City). Even if the total number is 50,000, facing a French army that is twice as many as himself, even King Pulun feels extremely troublesome. What's more, this time it's not a defensive battle of Pullen with 40,000 well-equipped soldiers facing 150,000 peasant soldiers, but 40,000 Irishmen out of 50,000 who don't understand orders, plus less than 10,000 civilians. The London regular army faced an arduous battle with 100,000 French troops!
Blood River Volcano, relying on the uneven terrain advantage of the hilly area, the United Irish Army launched a three-layer defense line. Among them, the 30,000 Highland Warriors (a kind of charge of light infantry) with the largest number of people and fully equipped with weapons and shields were placed at the tip of the position. The remaining 20,000 pikemen were piled on both sides of the hill to prevent the enemy from bypassing the two flanks and launching an assault.
The backbone area was handed over to the archery troops of King Purun City, who were responsible for sniping the cavalry and suppressing the charge of enemy soldiers. Spearmen were sent behind the Highland warriors to serve as their second lifeline in retreat. The remaining 1,000 Pullen knights are always on standby at the edge. If the battlefield situation is extremely bad, or when it is advantageous for a moment, it is the time for them to launch a ferocious charge that breaks the sky.
This triangular three-line defense formation can be said to be a hilly areaThe most common defensive formation, although too many Irish people do not understand the necessity of doing this in King Pullen City. Because, in their minds, fighting means everyone spreads out their formation on the battlefield, and then they all rush forward to fight to the death. As for who wins in the end and who loses, it all depends on the "father's words."
At this point, I have to say that generals who know how to deploy troops and formations are really rare in this world. But I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but there are such a rare number of precious generals, and Xia only met three of them in one touch. The unlucky French commander Gaomkar (currently imprisoned in the Pulun prison), the heroic king Uther (passed away), and the last one is Carol Badron who is preparing to have another big fight with the King of Plun. (Stabbed in right arm).
Ahem, although Xia Ya was crushed by these three people in a sense, he didn't make them feel better in the end.
"Psalm, did you bring our ballistas and death slugs with you?" Xia Ya remembered that the army seemed to have brought these big killing weapons with them before they set off for the expedition. If these guys can be transported to the battlefield, they can at least rival an army of 10,000 men! It can also severely suppress the opponent in terms of momentum.
But it is a pity that Shengge shook his head and said helplessly: "King, in order to assist you as soon as possible, Yuexia and I threw all the heavy weapons into the century-old Blood City. Otherwise, it is estimated that you will not be able to bear the consequences at this time today." It would be great to see our troops arrive in London."
"Really" Xia Ya said a little disappointed.
But it doesn't matter. Char looked at the map carefully, and then said: "Then we will give up heavy weapons, and the terrain does not seem to be easy to carry those heavyweights. There is no other way, we can only adopt the "bird type" "Wing" tactics, let's play a quick decisive battle with the enemy!"
"Speed ??battle?" Knight under the Moon said, "Does the king mean a quick battle and a quick decision?"
Since the establishment of Pu Lun, similar tactics have often appeared in various battles in the King City of Pu Lun. Generally speaking, the number of elite troops in King Purun City is small, and they cannot support large-scale long-term confrontations. They can only rely on beheading operations similar to this world to end the battle as quickly as possible. Only in this way can the soldiers in King Purun City Avoid being overwhelmed by the enemy's numbers.
A year ago, if the French army had not completely surrounded the city of Pulun, they would have concentrated their firepower to attack one area, making it impossible for the city of Pulun to allocate its forces for harassment and speed wars. Perhaps, everything today will be rewritten.
Xia Ya nodded affirmatively: "In a sense, it is true. But do you want to have a quick battle with a hundred thousand troops? The possibility is basically 0. What I mean is not to decide the outcome with them in a short time, but It is to take advantage of our light equipment to engage in chase battles, harassment battles, and induce them to attack. Only then can we take the initiative on the battlefield! Just use those four thousand Pulun archers."
Indeed, if it could be like the initial battle in the British Isles, where the Royal City of Pullen used its long-range advantage to sweep across the French army and injure tens of thousands of enemies while losing less than double digits, this battle might be unexpectedly simple.
But will everything go as smoothly as King Pulun imagined? Let¡¯s not talk about anything else. Let¡¯s just say that the opponent is a veteran French army that has suffered heavy losses in front of the Pulun Arrow Rain Formation three times in a row. No matter how optimistic you are, no one would think that a commander would make the same mistake three times in a row on the battlefield.
Therefore, it is natural for some people to object at this time.
"I object! King!" the Song Knight suddenly objected loudly.
