    Chapter 18 Angry People

    Lin Fenghan and others put on their coats and mounted their horses. Escorted by hundreds of soldiers, thirty or forty people walked out of the west gate of Sutterson and arrived at the refugee camp outside.

    "ah!"

    Lin Fenghan looked in shock at the tents and thatched earth huts made of clothes of various colors that stretched as far as the eye could see to the end of the woods.  In front of everyone, many old people, children, women, and farmers sat on the ground in their huts, cursing the king and Elant's troops, and venting the anger in their hearts.

    "The commander of the Elant army, Yi Liuyun, is here. Everyone, please get up and welcome him. If you have any questions, you can report them to the Baron." Vera ran to the front and shouted. Suddenly, many people were sitting in the shed, and many people were enjoying the shade under the big tree.  People gathered one after another.

    Lin Fenghan looked at the many people running towards him, smiled, raised his hands and said hello, "Hello everyone, I'm Yi Liuyun. I want to talk to you about the Northern Army. You can tell me your views on the current situation.  out."

    An old man in his sixties with gray hair quickly raised his hand and asked loudly: "Excuse me, Your Excellency, Baron, why don't you lead the army to drive away those invaders, those damn northern barbaric scout cavalry who robbed my family of food?  They also took away the silver coins and military pay my son brought me home, and my granddaughter-in-law was almost molested. If I hadn't run so fast, my whole family would have suffered."

    "Yes! Baron." A slightly younger old woman in her fifties or sixties said angrily, squatting on a wooden cane: "The corn that my family has worked so hard to cultivate has also been damaged by the brutal cavalry, and their horses have bitten them.  Without our fresh corn stalks, our spring corn harvest will be halved. According to the actions of their troops at the front, we can only give up our family property and take refuge here. I want to ask you when can we return to our hometown and live in peace.  .¡±

    "Yes! We don't want to be scared when we go out." A strong woman in her forties with a towel on her head said aggrievedly to Lin Fenghan: "The local people here are not friendly to us refugees. If it weren't for the town government  We will starve to death if we build relief sheds and distribute relief food. But we feel uncomfortable staying here because the town government favors local residents in many things, so please end the war quickly and let us return to our hometown!"

    "yes!"

    "We want to go home!"

    ¡°We want to kill those northern barbarians who destroyed our family¡¯s property!¡±

    "We will take revenge on them!"

    ¡­¡­

    Thousands of people who gathered quickly raised their fists angrily and shouted at Lin Fenghan.

    "Everyone, be quiet!"

    "Everyone, be quiet!"

    "Everyone, be quiet!"

    ¡­¡­

    Lin Fenghan raised his hands and shouted at the people, waiting until the passionate and angry people calmed down.  Lin Fenghan said quickly: "I understand everyone's feelings, but the northern army coming this time exceeds 70,000 people, and our army only has more than 50,000 people. There is a difference of more than 20,000 people between the two sides. Without outside help, we can only defend in  Fight a defensive war here, or wait until they run out of food and supplies and retreat naturally. The Elantra government can't do anything about this situation. That's why everyone has been wronged."

    "Lack of people?"

    "Lack of troops?"

    "Baron, we can join the army, we can beat people, and we can teach those villains a lesson."

    "Yes! Let's join the army! Give me a long sword, and I will chop off the head of the cavalryman who molested my sister."

    "Give me weapons, I want to join the army!"

    ¡­¡­

    The angry people shouted together.  Lin Fenghan, Vera and others looked at the crazy crowd in shock.

    At this time, an old man of fifty-four and five years old and two children pushed past the defensive guards and walked to Lin Fenghan. He said loudly to Lin Fenghan: "Baron, I am a farmer from Starling Town. I have left my hometown.  It's been a while, and I don't want to wander around the country anymore. Please give me a spear. I will use it to kill those villainous northern soldiers."

    "Yes! General!"

    An eleven or twelve-year-old young man with a height of 1.56 meters raised his eyebrows and shouted at Lin Fenghan: "General, please give me a spear. I want to kill that bastard who molested my sister. I want them to  eye for eye."

    ¡°Blood debt must be paid with blood, we want revenge.¡± Another older child also said angrily.

    "Yes, General, please organize us into the militia. We want revenge."

    "We want revenge!"

    "We want revenge!"

    "We're going to kill thoseNorthern villains who robbed our relatives, destroyed our farmland, and robbed our property.  "

    "Kill them!"

    ¡­¡­

    Countless people raised their hands and shouted.  Cursing the intruders, the entire West City Gate scene was boiling.

    "good!"

    "good!"

    "I promised! I promised!"

    Lin Fenghan looked at the angry crowd with wet eyes, changed his previous thoughts, turned to the many generals who were also excited and said: "I changed my mind, we have to take the initiative. Reduce the losses of the people and eliminate the invaders.  "

    "good!"

    "good!"

    Ali patted Lin Fenghan's shoulder gently and said slowly: "Yi Liuyun, sometimes inappropriate kindness is actually a kind of cruelty. Do you understand?"

    "I understand!"

    Lin Fenghan laughed at himself, looked at Ali and others firmly and said: "We will start recruiting temporary militia troops later, and distribute all the weapons and spare weapons in the warehouse to the people, except those necessary for the army. We will  We must fight decisively to end this evil.¡±

    "kindness!"

    "yes!"

    ¡­¡­

    Lin Fenghan turned to bid farewell to the people, mounted his black war horse, and headed for the Sutterson Plains with everyone else. On the way, he turned to Colander and asked, "Kelander, how many people do you think can take up arms and dare to fight against the king?"  troops fighting."

    "If we organize carefully, we should have 50,000 to 60,000 people dare to join the war if we are promised benefits!" Kelland touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

    "Um!"

    Lin Fenghan nodded and said seriously: "I will issue an announcement soon. All people who dare to participate in the war will be exempted from land tax or individual tax for one year, and quickly have the naval forces mobilize food, weapons, clothing and materials from various coastal areas of the Elante Islands. Below  Let¡¯s discuss tactics.¡±

    Everyone was refreshed, and Kelande smiled and said, "With the participation of these fifty or sixty thousand people who have taken up arms, our army will completely exceed their troops. So as long as we organize these fifty or sixty thousand people,  By dividing the troops into two wings and surrounding them with a huge fan, we can win the war."

    "Not necessarily!" Davout shook his head and said: "Those farmers are fighting for their courage. If the war has the upper hand, they will definitely be very powerful. If we have the upper hand, then they will run away desperately. When the time comes, so many people will run away together,  Then the morale of our army will be severely affected, and we will be defeated without a fight."

    "Then what do you think we should do?"

    Kelande looked at Davout and counterattacked: "Although the casualties are a bit high, as long as our wings are properly arranged and we launch the attack at the critical moment, we can quickly win the war."

    "Maybe!"

    Rana shook his head and said: "Those farmers are not organized. Their actions have no tactics. If we want to arrange for them to enter the battlefield and win, we must defeat some of the enemy's soldiers and have their morale collapse before we can take effect. Otherwise, it will be  A huge disaster.¡±

    "Therefore, the generals and generals who command the peasant temporary troops must be the best and the most observant. Likewise, we must arrange the best position and launch a decisive general attack at the best time." Ramsay's eyes  said keenly.

    ¡­¡­

    Lin Fenghan listened to everyone's conversation and rode forward quickly without saying a word. After the horses galloped for half an hour, everyone finally ran out of the beautiful grassland more than ten kilometers away from the town of Sutson.

    The Sutterson Plain is twelve kilometers away from the town of Sutterson, and is hundreds of miles wide. On this grassland, there are dense rivers and streams, and abundant water and grass. Many nearby villagers have cultivated rice here, and there are tall shrubs and grasses.  There are countless wild wolves living in it.  Hare, fox, pigeon, crane, wild duck and other animals.  It is one of the dangerous wild areas in the southern continent.

    "Baron, this grassland is very huge, with dense streams and rivers, and wild beasts often appear. In this place, there are grass plains for more than ten kilometers around the official road, which are very flat. From here, the grassland can be seen as far as the eye can see. Our huge army wants to fight  Only in this place can we be completely arranged, but there are no mountains or hills as cover, so most of our troops will appear in the sight of all the soldiers in the decisive battle here, and there is no sense of mystery."

    "And the new recruits among us will be very shocked and frightened when we see such a huge army appearing in front of us. Their negative emotions will have a great impact on our operations."

    "You don't have to worry." Lance??Spurred his horse forward and said parallel to Corland: "Our troops are very scared when they see so many people, but what about theirs? Don't forget that there are also more than 20,000 militiamen in their troops. What's more, I don't know if you are careful.  Have you analyzed the composition of the king¡¯s troops?¡±

    "Um?"

    "What's your opinion?"

    "Want to hear the details!"

    Everyone looked at Lanska with interest and said.

    Lanska looked at Lin Fenghan's confused eyes and said slowly: "Think about it, we have to recruit such a large army in just over half a month, so their composition is very complex after all. According to the baron's transmission  We can see from the information provided that the baron's enemy Viscount Julali and his relatives and friends gathered more than 30,000 troops, including more than 8,000 regular elite city defense troops, and more than 7,000 noble knights and elite retainers.  There are 15,000 light-armed militia veterans. Among these people, there are at least 2,000 knights and cavalry."

    "His Majesty the King mobilized half of the Royal Capital's elite Guards Corps, half of the Armas First Army, and the Armas Second Army. 240 warships of various types, more than 24,000 elite army personnel, and 12,000 elite navy personnel, including elite  There are more than 3,400 cavalrymen."

    "Although the other nobles in the north mobilized a small number of troops, only 21,000, they were all the most elite regular troops, and more than 2,000 cavalry knights participated."

    Lanska stretched out his hands and gestured slowly and said: "Brothers, please think carefully. In just half a month, from the king recruiting troops, to the nobles gathering troops, to Viscount Julali and his relatives and friends gathering troops,  Revenge. How complex is the composition of their army."

    "More than 73,000 troops, what a huge number, but after careful calculation, these three troops are not from the same force, although the name of the king suppresses them. Under the leadership of Prince Reinhardt, they act in the same way.  But their respective pursuit of interests will definitely determine their differences in purpose and combat effectiveness."

    "The many troops mobilized by the king must be elites drawn from the existing army, or regular standing troops. The nobles, under emergency recruitment, in order to obtain land, obeyed the king's recruitment order. They dispatched their own knights,  Family retainers, vassal troops, these components are complicated after all, and similarly, Viscount Julali's troops are even more complicated."

    "Everyone, please carefully consider what I just said. If you investigate carefully, you will find that a large part of these people are private soldiers of the nobles, knights' attendants, escort soldiers, security militia, and private militia."

    "Of the more than 60,000 people we analyzed, more than 30,000 of them are composed of non-collective sergeants who are not proficient in military formations, formations, and tactical coordination. Their personal bravery may be very powerful, but in the  This is not necessarily the case on this huge battlefield, so our chances of victory are expanded, because most of the soldiers have never seen a battlefield with more than 50,000 or 100,000 people. There are definitely some among them who have more troops than us.  More fear.¡±

    Lanska murmured slowly: "As long as we fully understand the composition of their troops, fully understand their tactics and personnel habits, and make targeted deployments, we will definitely increase the scale of victory in the war."

    "good!"

    "very good!"

    ¡°Excellent!¡±

    "Very good!"

    "Everyone, please hurry up and applaud!"

    ¡­¡­

    Snapped!

    Snapped!

    Snapped!

    ¡­¡­

    Everyone clapped with sincere admiration, and Lin Fenghan also clapped in surprise as Lanska had the idea of ??promoting his position in his mind.

    Looking at the surrounding terrain, Lin Fenghan listened under a continuous grassland that rose and fell.  He said to everyone: "The grassland here is not very flat. The grassland is two to three meters higher or one and a half meters lower. It is a good place to stop the cavalry from attacking."

    "Baron, do you have any ideas?" Ma Youden stretched out his head and approached Lin Fenghan and asked.

    "Ma Youdun, do you know how many troops the enemy's northern cavalry has?" Lin Fenghan asked.

    "I'm not sure, but there are about six or seven thousand people." Ma Youden said with his right hand on his chin: "Based on the information obtained from our scout cavalry investigation and your intelligence, we can tell that they have more than 6,000 cavalry.  Among them, more than 2,000 are desert cavalry troops in the northern border area of ??the royal capital, and there are more than 2,000 troops organized by the cavalry regiment. The remaining more than 2,000 are knights with titles and their knight attendants. It can be seen that among them, there are more than 2,000 knights in the army.  , there are at least 4,000 cavalry, all well-equipped and very elite."

    "What about us?"

    Lin Fenghan asked Xiang MayouHe suddenly said: "We! We have 5 cavalry regiments, plus the general's guard has 5,400 cavalry, but more than 3,000 of them are novice cavalry, although more than 2,000 of them have served as knight attendants and are skilled in riding horses.  1,000 people have also been herdsmen and can ride horses, but they are not skilled in martial arts. Moreover, these more than 3,000 people have been riding horses for half a month and are not fully equipped. Although they have received various cavalry formation training before, they are not as good as the main cavalry.  , simply too far behind, and can only be used as auxiliary cavalry to chase the enemy."

    "Yes!"

    Lin Fenghan nodded and said seriously: "It is precisely because our cavalry is not as good as the cavalry on the opposite side, so we have to choose a battlefield with obstacles to the cavalry to protect our army, and this is one of the suitable battlefields."

    Lin Fenghan raised his hand and pointed at the grassland that stretched for more than ten kilometers and said: "I have decided to set up our troops here for a decisive battle with the King of the North's troops."

    "According to the intelligence description and normal speculation, their central part must be the royal elite troops, and the right wing or where our main cavalry faces must be their elite city defense troops and elite knight troops."

    "I plan to put our main force on the left-wing battlefield. The center wing is the unit with the second largest combat effectiveness. To the east of the right wing is the new super long gun unit that we have recently recruited and trained with the lowest combat effectiveness. They will wear brand-new clothes and hold the best weapons.  Weapons and shield flags serve as cover. When the war begins, I will place 4,000 heavy cavalry and medium cavalry on the weakest right wing of our army, creating the illusion in their eyes that we will attack from the right wing."

    "Our troops on the right wing will hold huge sharp spears and resist under the escort of swordsmen and infantry. At the same time, they will quietly pull the horses we built from behind to the front to block the opponent's main cavalry. We  The left wing is the most elite main force. Behind the left wing, I will arrange for them to lurk in the nearby grassland on the day of the war, or arrange them to the rear of our army."

    "At the beginning of the war, I will lead our main heavy cavalry to attack from the right wing. Halfway through the attack, I will leave 1,000 medium cavalry to block the enemy. I will lead 2,000 of the most elite heavy cavalry and turn around to attack their army on the center wing.  Attack the formation, go straight into their central commander's flag, and kill or repel Prince Reinhardt."

    "At this time, the left wing of our army immediately launched a general attack. The center wing launched an attack according to the situation to support my assault on their middle battle formation. The right wing selectively launched an attack according to the situation to ensure chaos between their cavalry units and the enemy's right wing.  Support our cavalry under certain circumstances. At this time, Corland, your combat center immediately issued an order for our rear flank militia to launch a general attack, using the huge numerical advantage to suppress their nerves and eliminate their troops."

    "ah!"

    "What a tactic!"

    "very nice!"

    Ali looked at Lin Fenghan with some worry and said: "In this case, Yi Liuyun, your situation will be in danger. Why not give Ramsay the task of attacking the enemy's central formation!"

    "Yes! Baron!"

    "No!"

    Lin Fenghan stubbornly shook his head and said: "As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, how can I be greedy for life and afraid of death? What's more, this Prince Reinhardt has a personal grudge against me. I will settle accounts with him both publicly and privately. What's more, we want to go to war."  To achieve total victory, we must rely on the performance of the center cavalry. If the center cavalry performs poorly, fails to kill Reinhardt or allows him to escape, cuts off the royal flag, and shakes the morale of the king's army, then the most we can do in this battle is  It can be considered a small victory, but it can be a miserable victory. No matter how you look at it, I have to be at the forefront."

    "Don't try to persuade me on this matter. Now, please quickly inspect the terrain, mobilize the army, arrange the tactics of the centurions of each group, build military armor, and work hard for our victory."

    "All right!"

    "Baron, when the war comes, you must wear three layers of armor. Oh! No! Four layers of armor. As the commander of the whole family, you are the spiritual pillar of our Elantra army. If you are finished on the battlefield, our morale will be destroyed.  It¡¯s completely gone.¡± Ma Youden looked at Lin Fenghan with concern and said.

    "Don't worry, brothers!"

    Lin Fenghan smiled slightly, puffed up his chest and said: "As a hero who saves the human world, I will never die so easily. Everyone can rest assured and wait for the news of our victory!"

    "hehe!"
