King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 89 Alps
the Alps.

On the top of the mountain stands a circular camp with four gates guarded by tauren and human soldiers.There is a tall tower in the center of the camp, and human soldiers are stationed on the tower, responsible for guarding and observing tasks.

The guard on the top of the building stood up suddenly, shook the bell beside him vigorously, and shouted: "The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming."

With the distance from the foot of the mountain to the tower, the guard could only see a dark mass, but since someone was coming, no matter whether it was the enemy or the reinforcements, there was no harm in being on guard first.

"The enemy is coming! Sleeping ones wake up."

"Don't be crowded, find your captain first."

Fortunately, they had already been mentally prepared to deal with the enemy. When the bell rang, the tauren soldiers and human soldiers quickly got out of the tent, took their weapons, found their captain, formed a column of ten, and trotted to the His defensive position was in an orderly manner for a while.

Carlos, who was making a wooden bow, heard the bell, put down the tools in his hand, and hurriedly greeted two tauren centurion captains, a human centurion captain, and centaur Vassilis. K Carlos quickly found the three A captain, but the centaur Vassilis couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked, so the four of them could only discuss it first.

It is worth mentioning that although there are two captains who are the captains of the Tauren Centuries, both of them are human beings, both are veterans of the Noxus family, and both of them won the game invented by Shire , and then win the captain position, the vice-captain is their tauren partner.

"Who is the enemy and how many are there? Is it a soldier of the Silver Fox family?" asked the captain of the 100-man team.

To fight a war, we must first know who the opponent is, how strong it is, and how many soldiers there are. This is the most basic question.But no one responded. As soon as the three captains heard the ringing of the bell, they were called by Carlos before they had time to investigate. The time was too tight. How could they know who the enemy was and how many soldiers there were.

Carlos secretly pinched his thigh. He is an amateur in war. He thought that as long as he did things carefully and didn't command blindly, he would be fine.

Soon, the captain of another 100-man team said: "Send the centaur to the foot of the mountain to investigate, first find out who the enemy is and how many people there are, and then we have an idea of ​​how to deal with it."

Suddenly a voice came from outside the door.

"There are hundreds of knights, probably soldiers of the Silver Fox family."

The one who spoke was the centaur Vasilis who was not there just now. He was patrolling around the camp when he heard the bell ringing. He sneaked around the foot of the mountain while the enemy had just arrived, and found a large group of cavalry descending from the foot of the mountain. It's reinforcements, because Noxus doesn't have a knight order, so there is a high probability that it belongs to the Silver Fox family.

Carlos asked: "Then what should we do now."

"Let's cook." The captain of a tauren centurion said, "They have come from a long distance, and it is impossible to attack us immediately. It is better to let the soldiers eat enough to replenish their energy."

"Kill a few more sheep, let the soldiers eat meat, drink a bowl of broth, and boost morale."

……

At the foot of the Alps.

Claude took a few personal guards and looked at the camp on the top of the mountain. He walked around the foot of the mountain and observed the camp from several directions. Finally, he sighed and returned to the camp at the foot of the mountain.

"Chief Knight, aren't you happy that this group of Noxus thieves have been caught by us?" a retinue knight said.

This time he brought most of the recruits, and the two hundred retinue knights were all under his command. They had little combat experience, and they were serfs, so they were short-sighted.Claude sighed and explained: "Catching is not like this. If they flee wildly on the grassland, and then we catch up and kill them, it's called arresting. But now they haven't escaped." , stationed here waiting for us to attack, how can it be described as "caught."

"Oh, Sir Knight Commander, what shall we do next? How to deal with these thieves."

Claude didn't respond, and he was also worried at this time. Originally, he planned to use the Knights to make a quick decision to solve the group of thieves quickly, so that the recruits could experience the feeling of war, but they chased them all the way to the Korimia prairie On the road, there was no trace of these thieves, and it turned out that these thieves did not run away.

What is even more worrying is that the originally planned quick fix now seems to have a tendency to turn into a tug of war.He inspected this camp just now. Although he has been fighting for many years, there is nothing good to do.

The camp built by this group of thieves was in the shape of a circle, and there were fortifications such as horses and trenches in all directions. The structure of this camp was not exquisite, and it could even be said to be extremely dull, but this gave Claude a headache.They acted like they were playing dumb, and they didn't engage in any showy operations. If you hit me, you will defend. If you don't hit me, you will hide in the camp, and use the fortifications to defend against you.

At this time, there are only two options before Claude, one is to fight with them, and lead the knights to attack the camp directly.But this camp is on the top of the mountain. Should the knights ride horses when attacking? If they ride horses, this is an uphill road. If the horses cannot charge, they are a living target.But if you don't ride a war horse, you will use the hard-trained cavalry as infantry, and you will die.

Claude came here this time not only to clean up the thieves in Texas, but also to train recruits so that they can grow up quickly and become qualified cavalrymen.But after this fight, there are probably not many recruits. Even if they break through the camp and wipe out these thieves, it is no different from losing.

The second option is to besiege and not attack. The strength of the Knights lies in their mobility and in field battles. As long as this group of people leave the camp and come down from the mountain, Claude is sure to annihilate them with a very low cost of casualties.As long as he led the knights to besiege the top of the mountain, sooner or later the food for these people would run out, and victory would be effortless.

But how much food they have and how long they need to be besieged, Claude is not sure, once the time is prolonged, whether the Noxus legion will come, this is a question that needs to be considered.

"It's really a group of dull and stupid idiots. They don't even have the courage to fight in the field. A group of cowards." Claude spat and then rubbed his feet. He then said, "Write to Baron Silver Fox and tell us about our situation." To your lord, ask your lord to support us with an infantry regiment."

"In addition, send a hundred knights to search for reinforcements from Noxus. Since we can't beat this camp, we might as well pack up their reinforcements."

The guards around Claude nodded and listened: "Yes, Lord Knight."

Afterwards, more than a dozen knights set off from the foot of the mountain, escorting the letter to Silver Fox Castle.

The dozen or so knights rode two horses each, and soon rushed from the Alps to Silver Fox Castle, and told Baron Silver Fox the news.
