Warhammer Seal

Chapter 330 Battle

Not to lose face to others, Wende also jumped off the horse and walked towards Aldoric.

The right hands of the two immediately held each other firmly, and the Nord's hand was so strong that Wende even felt a little pain.

Fortunately, this handshake etiquette did not last long. The Nords are still not very proficient in using the etiquette in the south of the empire, and prefer to use the etiquette in the north to greet them.

"Let's go! Every Rick province brother who comes here can eat the best grilled fish and the best spirits!"

Aldoric waved his hand at Wende's army, but the 3000 people didn't make a sound, and didn't even move.

"Thank you very much then."

Wende couldn't hurt Aldoric's face, and waved at his army. Then all the troops changed their formation, and under the leadership of the engineers, they went to the open space near Port Dieters to camp, without damaging the farmland. At the same time, it did not affect the life of the local people.

"Since it's assisted defense, let's share the information first."

Wende was not in a hurry, looked at the long and narrow coastline, and took the map from Odorick's hand.

The most powerful navy in the entire world is the navy of the high elves, but with the sinking of Ulthuan, the title of the strongest navy fell into the hands of Nibon.

The naval power of the empire can only be regarded as a river army, but it is still much more luxurious than the small canoes of the Norscans, and can grasp the movements of the Norscans in the first place.

"Here, here, and here."

Aldoric pointed to the three points on the map, where the Norscans were building ships, and they had cut all the wood in the north.

I don't know what's going on this time, those guys seem to be going to die.

Port of Dieters has already evacuated most of the people, and asked everyone to go to Sessenmonde City with supplies and belongings. For the Norscans who live on looting, the scorched earth tactic is undoubtedly the most effective strategy.

Let those Norscans who are not used to storing food find nothing to grab, and then starve to death under the city wall.

"How much of the Imperial Navy is still in port?"

Wende still had to ask for all the information he needed, and every soldier had his own role on the battlefield.

"There is only one flagship left, and all the rest of the ships are docked at Marienburg to shrink the line of defense."

This is not good news. For the empire, sea battles are just unable to defeat the high elves and the dark elves with black arks. When confronting other races, the imperial navy has a crushing advantage. As long as there are three Altdorf-class ships The flagship, the artillery on it can kill all the Norscans.

This is just a ship, it can only be used as a scout ship, it's better than going out on a fishing boat to scout for information.

Without ships, of course, the naval battle that Wende is most looking forward to with the Norscans cannot be fought, so now we have to rectify the direction and build an area that is absolutely impossible to land on the beach.

"Can I take over the defense of the coastline? You have to cooperate with me to call back all the fishermen who are still at the beach."

"No problem! Of course no problem!"

Aldoric was overjoyed, knowing that the mutual support between the electors of the empire would only come when it was most urgent, and it was only for the defense of the city.

Wende actually proposed to defend the most difficult coastline, which can save a lot of military expenses in the Nord province. It must be a quick devolution of power and hand over the management of the coastline to Wende.

No documents and signatures are needed, the Nords are all decent men who keep their promises, and they will not do the despicable behavior of blocking other people's contracts.

The local troops of the Nord province also left the coast and the port of Dieters, and they all shrank back to the city of Sessenmond. The most important task is to protect the provincial capital, and the Elector Wende of Sylvania is also said to be a general Cai, since ascending to the position of elector until now, he has never lost a battle.

The terrain of the Nord Province is not bad, the left side is full of forests, with the wood elves in the Laurentian forest as a cover, so you don't have to worry too much, Wende has a good friendship with them.

To the west is the land of the province of Ostermark, and their Bull Knights are worried that they cannot fight on the city wall because they cannot ride horses.

The only thing Wende needs to defend is the gentle coast near Port Dieters, which is very conducive to landing without any bunkers.

Port of Dieters was already empty. Although street fighting was more advantageous for the empire, the soldiers under him were all Rick provincials, and they didn't know the terrain at all, so they could only fight in positions outside the city.

Positional warfare, this is too simple.

"The first row of spearmen, the second row and the third row dig trenches, the fourth row prepares weapons and gunpowder, the first row of artillerymen finds the hillside to observe the weather by themselves, all the guards are on guard, and the others rest."

In the habit of the imperial generals, they were used to command infantry phalanxes, each with 140 men.

Wende was different. He was completely unaccustomed to this habit of arranging troops, so he introduced the concept he was most familiar with.

Three infantrymen form a squad, and one of them must have medical skills, and the medical soldier will take the command after the captain is killed.

Three squads form an infantry squad. The squad leader commands a total of nine soldiers in three squads. After the squad leader is killed, the captain of the first squad takes the command.

Three infantry squads form an infantry platoon, and the platoon leader commands the three squad leaders under him. After the platoon leader is killed, the squad leader of the first squad takes the command.

Each infantry platoon has a size of 30 people. This is the infantry platoon that Wende is best at commanding.

The biggest advantage of a strict command system is to avoid beheading behavior.

In battle, besides weapons and strength, morale is also the most important part. If the commander of an infantry phalanx is killed, the phalanx that lost its command will soon collapse in morale and run around.

Once the command system is determined, the morale of the troops will not collapse too quickly, which is very effective in fighting against Chaos Demons.

Three platoons, that is, a total of 90 people in a row are digging trenches, ensuring that only one head is exposed when they can stand in the pit.

The trenches were mainly for fighting artillery, or against Norscan cavalry and war mastiffs.

There is a flat river here, if the fast-moving war mastiff bypasses the line of defense and eats up all of Wende's artillery, then he can directly declare himself defeated.

The sharpest horses are inserted in front of each trench to ensure that the war mastiffs and Norsca cavalry will not rush forward easily.

It can also reduce the worries of the artillery in the rear, and the friendly troops crouching in the trenches will not be accidentally injured by shells.

"Elector! The special supplies for the chief engineer's censer have been delivered, please give me instructions for the next step!"

A material team starting from the waterway of Nun City has already arrived at Wende's direction, and the carriage is full of new war props one after another.

The most powerful defensive equipment in positional warfare: barbed wire.

　The most important function of barbed wire is to delay the attack speed of enemy infantry and cavalry.

　　Especially for the defender, the barbed wire can completely intercept the enemy's infantry, forcing it to stop or change direction, and the defender's muskets and artillery can cause maximum damage to the enemy.

　　Barbed wire, trenches, traffic trenches and machine gun fire.

　　With these things, the Norscans can change from brutal and violent to singing and dancing.

　　Thank you [Ming Pie Fei Gong] for your reward, thank you very much.

　　Thank you for the monthly tickets of Zhendan Zhengxi General [Ji Xuanyu] and [Ming Pie Feigong]. Thank you very much.
