"No wonder Count La Mille chose to attack us at this time. It turns out they had a plan for a long time."
¡¡
Kelande glanced at Lin Fenghan with a serious face and said rigorously: "Baron, I think our army should set off as soon as possible to defeat the nobles of Tamira City as soon as possible."
"Um!"
Lin Fenghan nodded seriously, looked at everyone and said: "Currently, the nobles around us are making frequent moves, and we are surrounded by external crises. I have decided to send the main force of our naval fleet south, while the army will concentrate on attacking Tamira City. I hope that everyone will do it for the future." You must work hard.¡±
"Go back and prepare supplies and personnel! The army must set off at three o'clock in the afternoon."
"yes!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
¡¡
At around one o'clock on March 12, 1921, the light infantry swordsmen troops and light cavalry troops had already set off in advance, followed by the spear regiment. The army of 20,000 to 30,000 people advanced towards the west along the five to six meter wide road.
"Report!"
"Light cavalry was found three kilometers away to the north."
"Report!"
"Cavalry was found two kilometers away to the south!"
¡¡
? Continuous reports came from the front to Lin Fenghan and others in the central team.
"His grandma's!"
Ma Youdun wiped his sweat and cursed: "This group of cavalry is really annoying! Damn, the first two reports just scared me so much that I immediately stopped the troops from advancing and were on guard. Who knew that small group of cavalry would leave when they saw us?" , I feel bad now when I hear the news that the Hussars have been discovered.¡±
"yes!"
Kelande nodded, took off his helmet, held it in his hand for ventilation, and said to Lin Fenghan: "The light cavalry of the nobles is really annoying. Although our light cavalry has tried its best to chase them away, there are still some places where these light cavalry are found on the hills. Scouting cavalry, although we have not let down our guard against them, but this has happened several times for a long time, and the soldiers have become careless and don't care. This state is very dangerous."
"indeed!"
Lin Fenghan nodded with deep understanding. Yan Jing said: "We must not let down our guard, otherwise when they really come to attack us with their main force, we will be negligent and not arrange the formation properly, and we will be in trouble."
"Send someone to tell Ramsay that the main cavalry and the general's guards should not be idle to conserve their strength. They are now in small squadrons as the basic formation. Immediately investigate the surrounding grassland and mountain areas. There must be cavalry guards within one kilometer of the army's road. The army must be guarded by cavalry within one kilometer of the road. There must also be reconnaissance cavalry to maintain visibility within three kilometers of the surrounding area."
"yes!"
"Um!"
¡¡
Two or three Guards Cavalry nodded and rode towards the front and rear.
At this time, there are tall hills. Hundreds of cavalrymen stayed on the side of the road hill. One of them, a strong man in his forties, said to the numerous knights on one side: "Brothers, the vanguard swordsman infantry of Elantes is coming. Everyone, be ready to attack. .¡±
"yes!"
The young knight asked the older knight: "Lord Senweili, we dispersed the cavalry like this. We sent small teams to destroy roads and bridges. Now there are more than 400 knights left, can they rob and kill the soldiers in their vanguard?"
"hehe!"
Sen Weili, who was tall and bearded, held the reins with both hands and explained: "General Tarsola gave us an order to delay their advance as much as possible. We sent a small team of 5 people to monitor and harass the roads. They just let them relax their vigilance, and then gather the team to launch an attack in a place with particularly suitable terrain. As for whether they can kill many enemies, this is a secondary matter. The most important thing is that their minds will become suspicious, and any slightest sign of trouble will cause them to lose their guard. It would make them nervous. In such a mood, by the time they arrived in the city of Tamira, most of the soldiers could not bear the cruelty of the war and deserted, and the rest would not be able to play their part due to excessive nervousness in the subsequent war. Great strength. As a result, it was easily defeated by our main force."
"I used this method when I followed General Tarsola to fight other lords in the southwest of the kingdom. It was very effective against untrained militiamen." Senweili said with a smile.
"Your Excellency is so clever!" Many knights around him nodded in approval.
Sen Weili smiled and nodded to accept the praise, and suddenlyHis eyes sharpened and he quickly raised his hand. Shouted: "Everyone is ready, waiting for my order."
"yes!"
"yes!"

The buckler infantrymen marching in a line of five on the front line suddenly felt a burst of cold wind. Rallis, the swordsman infantry team leader in the front, quickly raised his hand, and the many soldiers around him stopped cautiously.
Rallis quickly climbed onto the loess road, put his ears close to the ground, looked ahead, and shouted seriously: "There are cavalry near the hill four to five hundred meters ahead, and everyone is on alert."
"yes!"
"yes!"
"Everyone has it, grab the advantageous terrain!"
More than a dozen buckler swordsmen in front quickly huddled together, raised their shields and javelins, and looked sharply ahead. The squadron at the back and the infantry group quickly communicated and rushed to the front. On the flat mountain road ahead, a line of defense more than 60 meters wide was formed. The line of defense was surrounded by half-meter-high and one-meter-high woodlands and pit bottoms. , low-lying areas, the infantry in the rear also endured the fatigue of marching and quickly rushed to the front to be on guard.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
¡¡
Sen Weili had just led more than 400 people to the top of the hill. On the road, he discovered that an ever-expanding crescent-shaped front line was gradually forming, and arrows shot from sharp infantry horn bows were coming towards him. .
¡°Damn it!¡±
"We are standing three to four hundred meters away, and there are still bows and arrows that can shoot at us. Their longbows are really powerful!"
"yes!"
"But it's close to this. If you want to kill someone, it's impossible three to four hundred meters away." Sen Weili grabbed a flying arrow with one hand, raised it in front of his eyes, and observed carefully: "The bronze tip is sharpened. It¡¯s very sharp! The white feathers of this arrow are also very special, reminding me of seagulls in the sea. The body of the arrow is also very strong. The most special thing about this arrow is probably the arrowhead.¡±
"Sir, what's so special about this arrow?" The young knight followed and looked at Sen Weili in confusion. He said unconvinced: "Most of the weapons and arrows in our troops are already made of iron, and some of the newly developed magically sharp steel weapons are just bronze."
"Don't underestimate bronze weapons." Sen Weili looked at the attendant seriously and said to the surrounding knights: "I have gone abroad to fight against the barbarians in the west. Some of their tribes even lacked bronze. They fought The weapons used are stone axes made purely from stone. Stone spears.¡±
"Those stone tools are so sharp that I can't believe they are much more advanced than our bronze and iron weapons, even reaching the level of the latest hundred-forged steel swords." Senweili took a breath and said, "I once saw those barbarian warriors using stone axes. Shave your beard and hang your hair. A one-meter-long stone ax in their hands can shatter our shields. The sharp stone spears are enough to penetrate our bronze armor. The brothers who fought with me, after obtaining their weapons, They gave up their own spears and chose to use their stone spears as their main weapons. Now you can think about the power of those stone weapons."
"Although the bronze arrowhead in front of me is not as good as the stone weapons of the barbarian tribes, it is much sharper than most of our bronze weapons." Sen Weili's face gradually became serious while touching the arrowhead, and he said seriously: "Look Look, the most important thing is that this arrowhead is not polished by hand, but made by machine. Only a small part of these Mitsubishi notches are polished by hand."
"This shows that their weapons workshops used a large number of windmills and waterwheels as driving force, which doubled the labor force and increased the efficiency."
"More importantly, what's more important is that the sharpness and durability of this kind of machine-made bronze are actually comparable to the bronze weapons we make manually. This is a very scary thing." Sen Weili breathed nervously. Said Qi.
"ah!"
"That's true!"
"yes!"
"It was so sharp that as soon as I touched it with my finger, a trace of blood appeared."
"Um!"
"I now doubt whether our iron chainmail can block this bronze arrow."
"It can definitely be blocked. This arrow has a bigger gap than our chainmail."
More than a dozen cavalrymen who were hit by arrows who advanced within more than 300 meters rode their horses back.
Many knights on the hill looked at the gradually expanding formation below in surprise. The Erantes infantrymen who were advancing slowly turned to ask Senweili.
"Knight Commander of Forest Power. Do we still want to charge?"
"They are so smart. We have just appeared, and they have already formed a formation of two to three hundred people. The formation is surrounded by potholes, and we have no chance to attack."
"Knight Commander Senweili, their light cavalry is coming, what should we do?"
¡¡
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Everyone asked Senweili on the top of the hillside.
"damn it!"
Senweili took a breath and said in surprise: "I have to admit that this is an elite force. Since our formation is not perfectly arranged and their defense is so sharp that we have no chance to launch an attack, then staying here is useless. , then let¡¯s leave now and look for the next opportunity.¡±
"ah!"
"Very good!"
¡°Finally no need to die!¡±
"The Knight of Forest Power is so wise!"
"Boss is wise, the whole army retreats!"
"Everyone retreats!"
"Walk!"
¡¡
Many knights turned to look at the flags waving backwards, then turned around and left.
