On the afternoon of March 24, the Lin Fenghan Guards arrived outside the Sutterson Plain. In the early morning of the 25th, the troops marched to the town of Sutterson, where the main force of Elantra gathered together to deploy various defenses. At this moment, the northern noble army to the north of Satsun town was still marching. In a large tent, Prince Reinhardt and many generals gathered together to discuss army affairs.
"What should we do now?"
Alfaris, the joint general of the nobles, stretched out his hand helplessly: "Our main battleship was almost buried in the ocean the day before yesterday, and the entire north-south channel was almost blocked. If Viscount Julali's fleet hadn't 'returned' early, we would have been told to be careful and save it." We have lost some warships and transport ships, and now we can¡¯t even hope to get material and personnel support from the north.¡±
"But it's difficult now." Weibus, one of the generals of the Northern Army, said: "Elantra has increased patrols on the ocean. One-half of our various transport ships have been seized and captured in the past two days. Our maritime fleet Cape Hope City is getting less and less supplies, and supplies are getting less and less. The supplies captured from various places and collected from cities and villages are enough for our army to stand still for three weeks, and now we are on the march. Transporting supplies from the rear to the front will consume part of the food, and we cannot go by sea. According to the current food consumption of the army is less than one day, we cannot supply such a large army in a small area."
Royal General Chadis Sri Lun quickly made a fist and said solemnly: "So we must resolve the battle as soon as possible. Although Yilante faces the same food risks as us, this is their territory. With the addition of sea transportation, they can maintain the strength of the troops." The days will definitely take longer than us. I think we must fight as soon as possible. Solve them through one, two, and three battles, so that our troops can be dispersed to various towns to solve our logistics crisis."
"Um!"
"Yes!"
Viscount Julali also nodded and said seriously: "Now we have gathered more than 73 huge troops and quickly relied on numbers to overwhelm them. Defeat their main force, capture the territory, and then plot the Elante Islands."
"But he is Yi Liuyun! In every previous battle, he used less to defeat more and won the war with incredible methods. Although we have more than 73 people, their troops gathered in the south only have more than 4 people. Now it should be There are close to 5 people, can 73 of us defeat them?" A young noble general in his twenties said worriedly.
"Lorraine, you are a coward, a coward, you are actually afraid of the Elantians, you have disgraced your ancestors." Beside. A nobleman in his fifties immediately accused angrily.
"Don't get excited!" Royal General Chadis Sri Lunxun raised his hand to stop him and said: "What Little Lorraine said makes sense, but according to our intelligence analysis, the total number of real elite troops in their army is only a little more than 20,000. , the others are recently recruited militias, and the captive troops recruited have very weak combat effectiveness, but their total army is close to 5 people. We cannot underestimate them."
"But we don't need to be afraid." Julali patted his chest calmly and said loudly: "We have mobilized many elite standing guards this time, including more than 24 elite royal troops and 21 nobles from the north. I There are 15 of my relatives, totaling more than 6 people, all of whom are well-trained field troops, city defense troops, knight attendants, noble guards, security soldiers and other elites."
"Our 6 elite troops are nearly three times the number of their elite troops. It is easy for them to fight against those peasants who pick up dung forks, so as long as we defeat the main force of Elantes, they will be completely finished."
"kindness!"
"That makes sense!"
"We have so many well-equipped soldiers. Are the elite soldiers with excellent training still afraid of farmers who pick up hoes?"
"Exactly! Even if their elite soldiers are very tough, if two or three of us fight one person, will we still lose?"
"Your Highness, give the order to continue advancing and fight them decisively!"
"yes!"
The joint general of the nobles, Elfasri, said to Reinhard and others: "Prince, we are now issuing a decisive battle with the group of people in Elant, and the location is in Satsun, five kilometers north of their town of Satsun. In the plains, here our troops can take advantage of their numbers and use their wide and long formations to tear them apart."
"I have been to the Sutterson Plains. It is a great place for grazing sheep and cattle as far as the eye can see. It is a place suitable for large-scale military operations."
"Um!"
Chadislilan looked at the map, nodded quickly and said to Reinhard, "Your Highness, this place is indeed suitable for us."?Combat, but we need one day to get all our supplies and food here as quickly as possible. "
"good!"
Reinhard nodded lightly, pointed to the map and said, "Then we will schedule them to have a decisive battle here on March 27th. Let's quickly prepare all the supplies for this battle. Also, what kind of methods will we use for this battle? Formation? How to arrange the positions of various units? How to arrange our tactics reasonably to defeat Elantes? "
Listening to Reinhard's question, everyone fell into deep thought. Viscount Julali slowly said: "Our formation must restrain the formation on the opposite side. Here, the royal guard army has the best equipment and the highest combat effectiveness, and the noble elite infantry Then, followed by the city defense troops of my family relatives. According to the analysis of previous battles, the Elant army has a spearmen unit in the middle, with swordsmen infantry added to the spearmen unit, and swordsmen infantry on both wings, spearmen and The main force is heavy cavalry, as well as guerrilla cavalry.¡±
"Um!"
Weibus nodded slowly and said seriously: "According to the battle description, it can be seen that their main force is mainly heavy cavalry. This heavy cavalry force has about 1 person. It is usually located on the right wing of the military formation. Sometimes They are also located on the left wing of the military formation. Usually when a battle begins, their light cavalry, who are usually on the left wing, will attack in advance, using bows, arrows, javelins, and shooting to harass the opponent's right wing. If the opponent's cavalry pursues, then their troops will will leave."
"Then if the opponent launches a full-scale attack, their military formation will stop. If the opponent remains stationary, the Elantra army will slowly advance. Their archers use a long bow and arrow, 1.8 meters and 2 meters long. size, and used a peculiar tool to reduce the pressure on the archers, allowing them to release more long arrows. Their long arrows have a killing range of 1 to 2 meters and can hit from 3 meters away, but for heavy Armor and shield have no effect.¡±
"After the war begins, they usually use their heavy cavalry to defeat the enemy's left or right wing, and then the Elantra army advances with all its strength, destroying the enemy in one go."
"oh!"
"So, Elantre relies on its cavalry to determine victory on the battlefield." Elfasri made a half-understood judgment.
"That's not right either."
"They should have used cavalry, longbowmen, and those particularly long spearmen to win the war," Royal General Chadis Srilan analyzed carefully with his eyebrows furrowed.
"It's not necessarily correct."
Weibus frowned seriously, touched his forehead and recalled: "I once led men and horses to fight with their troops. Their army's feeling towards me is that this is a group of energetic, brave and fearless troops. This army has never been From the basic militia to the elite soldiers, they are all full of passion, the passion to pursue their future and dreams. It is difficult for our troops of the same number to defeat them in front of such passionate troops, so my troops blocked the door and could not delay The gate was lost within an hour.¡±
After listening to Weibus's words, everyone thought of the slogan of Elantra, that everyone is equal, benevolent and free. They all fell silent and the atmosphere became quiet. After a while, Reinhardt said: "Let's discuss how to arrange our arrangements now." In order to defeat their troops, how should our cavalry be reasonably arranged?"
Weibus quickly said: "Your Highness, we cannot judge the direction of their main force without arriving at the battlefield. However, according to the configuration of our army, I suggest that the royal army be responsible for the center wing, and the elite northern noble coalition force is responsible for dealing with the main sword of Elant. They are infantry, and our Uriwan City troops are responsible for auxiliary flanks and resisting their light cavalry troops."
"There are 34 members of the royal family in our cavalry force, 2 elite knights in the Northern Noble Alliance, and 19 cavalry in Yuriwan City. We have a total of 73 cavalry. The royal family's cavalry should be gathered with the cavalry of other northern noble vassals. This 5 The cavalry is on one wing as the main force, while our cavalry drives away the Elante light cavalry and protects our infantry phalanx. With this arrangement, our troops can defeat their army."
"Yeah! Our royal cavalry are all the most elite knights and knight attendants. They have received the most elite training and are equipped with the best weapons and armor. It is easy to kill those Elantians."
"The same is true for us noble knights. The two dozen noble knights who come here are the most elite among our vassals. They have been trained in martial arts since they were young. They will have no problem defeating those farmers."
"As long as our cavalry troops gather together, 5 elites against 1 of their multiple cavalry can definitely defeat them."
"good!"
"good!"
¡°That¡¯s what we do!¡±
"In that case, let's arrange this when facing the enemy!"
?"Okay, now let's discuss the generals of the cavalry army and how to arrange the formation of these knights!"
"Um!"
