- Section 5 Battle of Haisha Port (Part 2)
"hurry up!"
"hurry up!"
¡°Don¡¯t push your horse in here.¡± ¡°Put the guardrail here!¡± ¡°Dig a one-meter trench here.¡±
"speed!"
¡The squad leader and squadron leader of a large team directed the soldiers to insert the sharpened sticks into the ground according to the predetermined formation.
The position was chosen more than 200 meters outside the town of Haisha Port. In this place, there are rugged hills and mountains in the north, small rivers and streams in the south, and gentle grassland plains in the west. The trees in this area were too close to the town to grow early. It was cut down by the citizens, and only sparse forests existed near the center of the western island. This gentle place suitable for large-scale wars is about four square kilometers in size.
Veteran General Pulet led Lin Fenghan and his party to inspect the progress of the project. Pulet explained in detail: "Our military strength totals more than 1,200 people, of which more than 500 are long-range troops, ballistae, and catapults. , we have a huge advantage with ultra-long-range troops such as trebuchets because they are in the town and are very convenient for supply. No matter how powerful Sir Bertand is, an army with his starting size for long-distance marches will not bring out more than three trebuchets. Secondly, although there is no city wall around the big town, the densely packed houses are enough to cover our more than 300 archer troops. Of course, we cannot have illusions about this kind of troops, half of which are short bows and hunting bows. Cover us and suppress Harassing opposing forces is their biggest mission.¡±
Lin Fenghan stared ahead and said cautiously: "Our main force is placed in the middle of the formation, with defensive horses on both wings. The archers are behind the main force in turn. It depends on how the opponent arranges their troops."
"Report! The enemy is still two kilometers away from our army. Please equip the baron quickly." The light cavalry patted the horse's back and came panting to report.
"The old general immediately stopped in the middle and waited for his horse to be released, and the entire army immediately deployed."
"Commander, come with me to the command podium."
Lin Fenghan's heart was beating loudly and he quickly issued orders.
"The archers lined up in large groups, 20 meters in front of the first line of formation, in a loose formation."
"The pikemen line up in the first line of position, left wing and right wing in loose formation."
"Heavy gunners formation, first sequence of positions, center wing. Concentrated formation"
"Town garrison formation, second sequence of positions, left wing, right wing. Loose formation"
"Heavy cavalry in formation, left wing. Concentrated formation."
"Light cavalry in formation, right wing." Loose formation.
"Cavalry archers, dense formation on the front wing."
"Two crossbow carriages, with a gentle slope on the rear wings."
"The remaining ballistae and catapult troops are hidden in the town and are not allowed to show up without orders."
Lin Fenghan, with fifty elite generals and cavalry guards, stood at the rear of the position, on the gentle slope of a slightly higher town, looking excitedly at the troops in front.
At this time, the army was lined up, the military flags were flying, the whole army was ready to go, and a majestic and killing momentum emanated from it. The entire army is thirty meters apart from the front row to the back row, and more than a thousand meters apart from the left wing to the right wing. Although the formation was not too heavy, Lin Fenghan decided on this formation in order to maximize military power and facilitate combat.
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
¡¡
The sound of neat footsteps came from the distance. Lin Fenghan sat quietly on the horse and quietly observed the army walking out of the distant woods.
The army is neat and tidy, with clear flags, strict discipline, and stable formations. The soldiers are generally younger than fifty years old. Although the soldiers inside are a little tired from marching in the original picture, the murderous look in their eyes makes people dare not underestimate it. Overall, this is a very elite army.
"Sir, we have arrived at Haisha Port, but there is a menacing troop arrayed in front of us! The number of people is no less than ours. Some of the recruits in front are already frightened, and the veterans also have moved expressions." Captain Kuai Ma of the Cavalry Brigade Run to Sir Bertand and report seriously.
"Oh! Let's go! Come with me and take a look." Bertande tightened his silver-white helmet and ran forward with the general's guards.
"Well! The formation is indeed well-equipped, there are indeed some skills, and the military power is indeed spectacular. It seems that this old guy Pulet does have some abilities." Bertande frowned and did not look at the large field of military flags flying in the wind, and cautiously looked at the side beside him. The cavalry captain said: "Your task in a while is to entangle the enemy's heavy cavalry and light cavalry, and leave the rest to the infantry troops. What a pity! The fleet itself is insufficient for cross-sea operations. We only have more than a hundred cavalry. If you give me a hundred heavy cavalry now, I can tear the opponent's body apart.The enemy was defeated within half an hour. Now we can only rely on heavy infantry. It seems that the war will not end in an hour or two. "
After Bertande sighed softly, he firmly grasped the whip in his hand and said seriously to the messenger beside him:
"Come here, order the entire army to enter combat status immediately!"
"The first sequence of the three brigades of epee infantry, loose formation!"
"Second Brigade Lancers left wing! Right wing! Concentrated formation!"
"A large group of light infantry, the second line of the left wing!"
"Second battalion of crossbowmen, second sequence, center wing! Loose formation!"
"Second Squadron Cavalry, left wing! Right wing!"
"The general's bodyguards are with me."
In an instant, the military flags were waving, and the messengers were running back and forth. In less than three minutes, a standard combat sequence appeared 800 meters away from the Elantra army.
Lin Fenghan watched carefully and said in amazement to the old general beside him: "General Pulet, it seems that this person is indeed our strong enemy! If I were not unfamiliar with the army below, I would have been able to change the formation just now. There is a 50% chance of defeating them."
"Baron, don't underestimate the other party. I have heard of Bertand. He has been marching and fighting for more than 20 years. He climbed from cavalry to commander. Although he was promoted by the Duke, he also has great talents. The other party's The army is all elite and very loyal to the Duke. Although our army is densely populated, its quality is extremely poor and cannot compare with the opponent's army. The only chance of victory is to make a sudden attack while the opponent underestimates us and defeat their heavy infantry. In this way Only in this way can we win." The old general said as he looked at the army in front of him and nervously grasped his sword. Although he has lived for most of his life, fighting against pirates and thieves groups, he has not participated in several battles involving thousands of people. There has not been a war in the Elante Islands for a long time. Not everyone in this world can Have the privilege of participating in a major war.
"Grandpa Motel, to be honest, how often does a war of this scale happen? How many times have you encountered such wars in your life?" Lin Fenghan looked at the nervous people around him and asked the old man next to him in confusion. road.
Motel touched his beard nervously and excitedly, and said softly: "The total population of our Kingdom of Dambreth does not exceed 2 million. There has been no major war on the northern and western fronts of the kingdom for more than fifty years. Although the nobles from various places have the right to It is very big, but such large-scale life-and-death wars are too rare, and it is difficult for a person to encounter it several times in his life. The biggest war I encountered was at the Danbroen River Fortress in the west. That war happened in the 1960s Many years ago, I was only twelve years old. At that time, the barbarians of the Halua Dynasty crossed the Gobi, hills, and deserts and occupied the land there. As our caravans returned to the fortress for refuge after being attacked, the war broke out. ¡±
Motel looked up at the sky and said with a painful expression: "At that time, the barbarians in the west gathered in a huge army and crossed the mountains to attack us, with a total of 60,000 vanguards. The overwhelming barbarians attacked the sand dune fortress. At that time, Civilized humans were unable to stop the barbarians, and a large area of ??land in the western region of the kingdom fell. At that time, nobles from all over the country went crazy, and gathered an army of 200,000 to counterattack day and night. Finally, under the influence of the kingdom of Amuta, its ally in the north, The barbarians were annihilated with help. In this racial war, our kingdom suffered heavy casualties. Fully 150,000 soldiers and 400,000 civilians died. On the barbarian side, there were 200,000 to 300,000 elite warriors killed and injured. The Kingdom of Amuta Tens of thousands of people were also lost. It was a human tragedy. After this battle, the Zhongsha Desert in the west that connected with the Halua Dynasty became a restricted area for the kingdom's caravans. Barbarians were infested there, and even powerful knights could not escape. Will travel there.¡±
"Barbarians?"
"The barbarians are so powerful. Why would the barbarians climb over the cliffs and hills to attack me?" Lin Fenghan asked in a panic, his heart pounding.
"Barbarians are our collective name for the various nomadic peoples in the west of the kingdom. They refer to the middle race that drinks blood and grows hair, lives a primitive life, and worships barbarism and violence. Barbarians were born in forests, deserts, grasslands, and next door. On top of that, due to the hard life, barren territory, and low level of civilization, their strong physiques were tempered, and the kingdom could not face them one-on-one. In order to defeat the Western warriors, the king ordered that nobles from all over the country form private soldiers to fight against the enemy. But since then, the nobles have had territories and armies that truly belong to them, and the royal power has weakened to the extreme, which is how the current era has emerged."
¡¡
"My children, show the other side's little guys some color and let them know what a good army is." Bertande pulled out his sword and pointed it straight ahead, shouting loudly.
"ha!"
"ha!"
"ha!"
"Ha ha!"
¡
The neat roars startled Lin Fenghan and others. During the inspection, the soldiers in the Elant camp were pale, their hands and feet were trembling, and there were many people who were panicked. The morale of the army dropped rapidly.
"Baron, the other side is about to call the formation. Our morale is rapidly declining. If this continues, we will lose before the fight starts. Let's also call the formation!" Pulet observed the state of the army on his side and said eagerly to Lin Fenghan .
"Well! Uncle, it's time for you to play." Lin Fenghan nervously grasped the shaking black horse, and said to Hapu next to him with a worried look.
"My dear nephew, do I really want to go?" Hapu looked at the army in front of him in fear and said in a panic.
"It's necessary, go ahead!" Lin Fenghan smiled gently at Hapu and rode his horse towards the front line.
"Sir Bertand, I am Baron Elantra, please come out and speak!" Lin Fenghan rode a black horse, stood in the center of the two armies, and shouted loudly to Bertand's army.
"Sir, shall we seduce the opponent's commander now, and then send out light cavalry to attack and capture this person." The cavalry captain said to Bertand with a solemn expression.
Bertande stared at the young man in front of him, shook his head gently, and asked.
"Do you think the other party will be fooled? The plan of the cavalry unit remains unchanged. I will go and get this kid back." Bertand patted his horse and walked towards the front line, and the generals and guards around him rode their horses to follow.
"Little Elantra, I haven't seen you for a while. Why do I feel that you are more energetic than you were this morning? It seems that war can indeed make a person mature!" Bertande smiled slightly, stopped his horse fifty meters away from Lin Fenghan and others, and said jokingly . This distance is just enough to avoid the shooting of bows and arrows. Even powerful crossbow arrows may not be able to penetrate chain mail and scale armor. It is a safe distance for messengers from both sides of the war.
"Cough! Cough!" Lin Fenghan felt angry and coughed slightly when he heard the sound. Hapu puffed up his chest and had to get up and walk forward.
"Sir Bertand, I am Hap Elant, the uncle of Yi Liuyun Elant. Here, on behalf of the Elant family, I strongly condemn your invasion. If you violate the rights of the nobility, I will definitely report it to the king. Please go to the noble council and let the king and the just nobles punish you." Hapu sternly condemned Bertand, then his tone changed, he raised his head arrogantly and looked down on the other party.
"Although I despise your despicableness, the great Elant family is a noble family, a representative of political justice, and the lord here. Our Elant family will not bully the weak. You have marched a long way, and your soldiers are tired and lack cultivation. For the sake of fairness, the Elant family decided to send dry food and spirits. We will have a truce for an hour, and we will line up for battle in an hour. What do you think?"
"What?"
"Is Hapuilante a fool of himself? He actually wants to send us dry food and wine, and also allows us to rest for an hour. He is so stupid.
"Oh my god! There is good wine. I haven't drank for a long time. I only drank a little wine this morning."
¡¡
The officers beside Bertande were shocked and laughed wildly.
"Really? Hapu, Yiliuyun, you are the most gentlemanly nobles I have ever met. Thank you for your kindness, but where are the fine wine, cold water and dry food?" Bertande's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he looked at Hapu strangely. Pu and Lin Fenghan nodded in agreement.
"Sir Sir, please think twice!"
"Be careful of fraud. What if the enemy puts poison in the water, wine, or food?" The rational officers tried to dissuade Bertande.
"Uncle Hap, please remember your position! The town hall is under my control. If you do something unqualified, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Lin Fenghan said softly. Clapping their hands, more than a hundred people belonging to Hapu's original escort walked towards Bertand's army with their burden barrels.
"My nephew, you are cruel enough, but I want to ask if there is any poison in your wine? What if the other party wants me to try it and I get poisoned?" Hapu held out his thumb with conviction, and finally raised his head and asked.
"Don't worry, the food is definitely not poisonous. You just need to let them sit down and rest for ten minutes, and your task will be completed." Lin Fenghan smiled softly and said quietly.
"That's good!" Hapu refreshed and walked forward with the soldiers.
"Friends, in order to show the purity of these foods, I can try it myself for everyone." Hapu smiled and picked up a piece of dried meat and wine and drank it in one gulp. The strong smell of wine floated in the air. The strong aroma of wine made the stomachs of a group of drunkards growl, and they all looked at the more than thirty wine barrels in front of them.
Hapu ExpressWhen he quickly walked to Bertand, he whispered quickly: "Sir Bertand, I am Mayor Harp, Duke Brant's spy. I have successfully persuaded my nephew to send you a beautiful gift." After you have finished eating and drinking, I will retreat into the battle formation. As long as you give the order, the three to five hundred people under my control will immediately rebel from behind the battle formation. When the time comes, I hope you can give me the first credit. ,How about it?"
"Really?" Bertande's dark blue eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and he said with a smile on his face: "Mayor Harper, I am very grateful for your kindness, but now it seems that little Elantra is not as stupid as imagined. , maybe he has discovered you, I think it is more appropriate for you to take your troops and go one kilometer behind my formation to wait for my triumphant return."
¡°Adjutant, you immediately take a squadron of heavy infantry to protect Mayor Happ and his troops and go to the rear to protect the logistics.¡±
"Order the troops to fight immediately."
Bertande laughed, rode forward cautiously, and shouted loudly: "Little Elante, do you know? Your uncle has been one of ours for a long time, and I am very grateful to you for your wine and kindness. Do you know, The journey from the Elant main castle to here is up to fifteen kilometers, and I walked for an hour and a half, just to save the soldiers' physical strength to sustain the battle, so there is no unfairness in the physical strength of the soldiers on both sides."
"In order to thank you for your noble kindness, I decided to tell you the fact that your uncle is our spy to repay your kindness. Now go back and prepare! I will decide to attack soon."
"I'll do it! I gave you so much dried meat and wine, why don't you take a few sips before fighting? You know the soldiers are very thirsty." Lin Fenghan looked stunned and said angrily to dissuade him.
"Haha! Little Elantra, do you really think I'm a fool? My army is not very hungry or tired, but it will definitely get sleepy after a short rest. When the time comes when you lead the army, we will definitely lose. I You¡¯ve been fighting all year round, don¡¯t you even know this?¡±
Bertand held his belly and smiled, and said sarcastically: "Little Elante, I think the person who came up with this plan for you is really stupid. Gah! I'm leaving, and I want to say thank you for the wine at the end!"
Bertande picked up the gourd, took a sip of wine, laughed and left.
"What a fool!"
"Why are the enemies so smart these days? Why do they let me fool around? Why are the enemies in novels so stupid? How come they are so powerful here!" Lin Fenghan looked blankly at Sir Bertand who was riding away and cursed.
"Baron, hurry up and leave! Bertand is a veteran on the battlefield. What if you regret it?" Motel looked at the half-failed conspiracy and loudly dissuaded him.
"Hey! It's like losing both my wife and my troops! Hapu's soldiers have been controlled by the opponent, but when the war reaches a critical moment, their role will be very important. Let's go!" Lin Fenghan looked at Bai with a complicated look. Tande glanced at it and scolded the authors who wrote the protagonist's enemies as mentally retarded dozens of times before he was willing to leave. ;
