Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 278 Change of Strategic Deployment

Josk and Yuri came back the next morning, and they were very embarrassed. No matter who was chased by the three great swordsmen all night and finally got out of it, it would look like a humiliated face.

The order Lorist gave them was to block the traffic arteries between Nubit Port and the King City of Hamidas, and prevent the news of the attack on the Port of Nubit from spreading to the King City of Hamidas. The day before yesterday afternoon, they led the scout camp to the target, which is the hilly area on the map. After choosing the camping location, they began to lay out the cordon. They also caught a few messengers heading to the King City of Hamidas. Everything was normal.

But after a day, Josk and Yuri found that there were many carriages and cavalry on the avenue. At the beginning, they were able to block them. As a result, there were more and more enemies. By the afternoon, nearly 10,000 people gathered and organized manpower. The line of defense temporarily arranged by the scout camp launched an impact.

Josk and Yuri thought that these enemies must have escaped from Nubit Harbor. They were very angry and prepared to stop all these enemies and not let one escape. So let the scout camp occupy the high ground on both sides and block the road in the middle.

The blocked enemy rushed twice but failed to rush over, with heavy casualties and corpses on the ground. In the end, the enemy gathered all its combat power and attacked the highlands on both sides in two ways, and then gathered the fleeing carriages and rushed through the middle road. This time the scout camp could not help but lose sight of one another, and soon fell into a melee.

Josk and Yuri were both spotted by the three great swordsmen. Josk's arrow might be a threat to the first-level great swordsman, but there is no room for the upper-level great swordsman. One of the three great swordsmen is a second-level great swordsman, chasing Josk stubbornly, if it weren't for Yuri's desperate rescue, Josk might have been in danger. The two were forced to leave the brigade, and spent the night in that hilly area with the three great sword masters, and the three great sword masters did not retreat until dawn.

After Josk and Yuri gathered the scout camp, they discovered that they had nearly a thousand casualties. This is still the enemy just taking the road and driving away the soldiers of the scout camp on both sides of the high ground, and it doesn't matter much to the end. Josk and Yuri saw that they were as exhausted as the soldiers in the scout camp, so they stopped chasing and brought the troops back.

Lorist had a hard time saying that Josk and the others made the same mistake of underestimating the enemy, treating the enemy as a wild dog fleeing, thinking that adding a stick would kill them, so they made the decision to intercept. If they let go of the middle avenue and only follow them on the sides and rear, and use the crossbow of the scout camp light cavalry to shoot long distances and the flexibility and speed of the cavalry to effectively kill the enemy, then the battle will be much larger than the current eight thousand corpses...

After waving his hands to make Josk and Yuri retreat and rest, Lorist's face became serious. This time the expedition to the Kingdom of Haneabadha was not as smooth as he had imagined, and the battle for the destruction of the country was not so easy to fight. The enemies of Nubit Harbor are indeed vulnerable, but accidents happen again and again.

Those fleeing enemies left nearly 8,000 corpses when they broke through the interception of the scout camp, but at least more than 15,000 fled back to the city of Hamidas. Among them, there are many high-end battles like the Golden Swordsman and Great Swordsman. force. There is also a 28,000-man Royal Guards Corps in Hamidas. If you recruit the slave traps and the young men who fled back, you can form a 30,000-40,000 corps. It overwhelmed my side.

Lorist calculated the strength of the forces at hand. The two heavy armour regiments and the one-wheeled steel crossbow regiment consisted of five battalions of 15,000. But he left two heavy armored barracks and a unicycle steel crossbow barracks on Silovas Island. Only 36,000 people followed him on the expedition. Adding a scout camp and a perak sling battalion, there are fourteen battalions for a total of 42,000 people. In addition to his two guard brigades of 1,000 people and Sun Barwood’s sea corps of 3,000, the total strength is about 46,000.

But Sunbawood's sea legion doesn't need to land in battle, unless he doesn't want to return to family territory. After landing, there were nearly 5,000 casualties, and now there are about 38,000 available troops. Sembawood was given a heavy armored barracks and a single-wheeled steel crossbow battalion to sweep the surrounding islands. Six thousand people were gone, and a squadron of one hundred men was prepared to defend each of the 27 islands. One more camp is missing. In addition, two heavy armored barracks and a unicycle steel crossbow barracks have to be left in the inner city of Nubit, so that there are only more than 20,000 people who can go to the city of Hamidas...

Lorist wanted to cry but no tears, and when the soldiers were used, he hated less. The two thousand people went to the Hamidas city, not to mention the siege. It is not bad to be besieged. If you are the king of the Kingdom of Haneabadha, you can be cruel to summon the young and strong slaves in the king's city to have fifty or six thousand, and you can force them to attack your camp of 20,000 people, and consume the long-range crossbows and arrows they carry Assault weapons can be swarmed up for a siege, so that even if they are invincible, they can fight and lose both. Not only can they relieve the crisis in the royal city, they can even counterattack Nubit Harbor.

No, you have to re-adjust your forces. When you go to the Kingdom of Hanea Bada, you must have at least one complete heavy armored regiment and three unicycle steel crossbow battalions as the main force, plus one thousand guards and two thousand scout light cavalry. A thunderbolt sling battalion, so there are 29,000 people and nearly 30,000 troops. When you go out, you will bring five newly formed slave guard battalions. By then, there will be more than 40,000 troops.

Alas, Lorist sighed long. War is not a trifle, and strength is not simply addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. But in any case, expect the enemy to be more lenient, and the more elite family arms in hand, the better, so that when facing the enemy, not only can you win but also reduce the casualties of the troops. As for the newly formed slave garrison camps, Lorester didn’t want to bring them. Letting untrained slaves onto the battlefield was a double-edged sword. Although it could strengthen his own momentum, the outbreak of the war might first collapse. These slaves, they will bring chaos and even impact the array of family armed forces in turn.

For the Kingdom of Hanyabada, intimidating the slaves is a very simple matter. If you don't obey, you will use swords and guns. If you kill too many, the remaining slaves will naturally obey the order. But Lorist couldn't do that. The Norton family claimed that they were here to rescue the slaves, and they couldn't force the slaves or even attack them.

A strategic mistake brought such serious consequences. If the enemies in Nubit’s inner city are swept away by a net and there are no fish that slip through the net, then your family's armed forces can unexpectedly appear under Hamidas, and even if they can’t sneak attack, they can catch the enemy by surprise and block the enemy in the city. At that time, the plains surrounding the king's city will become the territory of the own family's armed forces, and those slaves can be mobilized to reinforce the family's armed forces and besiege the city of Hamidas and slowly clean up.

Now we have to prepare for a field battle. The king of the Kingdom of Haneabadha will definitely send troops. If so many people can run out of the inner city of Nubit, it means that the attacking Norton family is not enough to land. No one is a fool and will sit and wait. Upon coming down, the Kingdom of Haneabadha will recruit soldiers to form a legion and send troops to test it, and will also try to drive the Norton family armed forces into the sea.

After recruiting the guards, Lorist ordered to pass an order to send several family golden knights and Ingerek Great Swordsmen to the city lord's mansion in the inner city to hold a meeting to discuss new strategic and tactical plans.

At night, the main hall of the inner city city hall is brightly lit by candles.

Lorist pointed to the map of Haneabata and introduced the current situation.

Bodfinger asked: "My lord, you mean we can no longer directly send troops to attack the city of Hamidas?"

"Borg, if you were the king of the Kingdom of Hanyabada, what would you do after getting reports from those who fled from Nubit Harbor?" Lorist asked.

Bodfinger thought for a moment: "I will send troops immediately, first occupy the hilly area in the middle, set up camps and defensive positions to prevent the enemy from entering the plain where the king city is located, and then send scouts to find out the enemy's strength and arrangement. , On the other hand, recruit soldiers to form troops. If the enemy's strength is insufficient, he will directly send troops to recover Nubit Port and drive the enemy into the sea."

"Yes, Borg, your response is perfect. We don't know if the enemy will do this like you, but the enemy must be smarter and not careless. Tomorrow morning, the three reorganizations have already been organized. The Jia barracks and the two single-wheel steel crossbow battalions must drive to this hilly area, and arrange a defensive line there first to seize the traffic arteries entering the plain of the king city.

This force is led by the Tiger Ross, and Malek is the deputy. Borg is injured and sits in Nubit Harbor. Josk, Yuri, now there are more than two thousand light knights in the scout camp. In addition to guarding and detecting the enemy’s movements, they also need to guard Rosmalek’s back path to prevent the enemy from sending small-scale scout teams to spy and spy on our rear. damage. In addition, you have to send troops to sweep the slave farms on the plains of the King City, free the slaves, and try your best to mess up the enemy's rear. Don't let the enemy easily gather food, grass and materials to the King City to fight a protracted battle with us, understand? "

Lorist hit the map with a punch.

"Understood, sir." Josk and Yuri replied in unison.

"You have to pay attention, save your vitality, and don't fight the enemy. Our advantage is that we are light cavalry and can easily get rid of the enemy's tracking. The Kingdom of Haneabadha does not produce horses, and it is said that the king's command is also the same. A cavalry team of 800 people, compared with our family of cavalry, they are still infants and young children, if you have a chance, they will try to eat them.

Another point, if you disturb the plains of the King’s City, the enemy will definitely hate you. Maybe there are many enemies and great swordsmen who are sent to chase you. You can let Tiger Ross and Malek set up traps in advance to put the enemy Bring it in and use a steel crossbow to deal with them. Don't get too hot in your head and use the scout light cavalry to fight the enemy like yesterday. "Lorister warned.

"Yes, sir, we will pay attention." Both Josk and Yuri flushed.

"Borg, your mission in Nubit Harbor is very heavy. There are eight heavy armored battalions in the family armed forces, but now there are almost one battalion casualties, there are a thousand scout light cavalry and two single-wheel steel crossbow brigades. Add up to 5,000 people. Now I have ordered Sambawood to temporarily stop sweeping the surrounding islands, and gather the troops first. When he transports the troops back, you will reorganize two heavy armored barracks and a single wheel. The steel crossbow battalion sent to the front line Tiger Ross, and ordered the Thunderbolt sling battalion of Ovix to go with it. It will be our main force in the battle of Hamidas.

All the wounded were concentrated in the inner city. The inner city was temporarily defended by a heavy armored barracks and a single-wheeled steel crossbow group. I will leave a group of 500 guards for you, and another group of guards will also be sent to the front. In this way, there is still a heavy armored barracks that I am going to disband. All the soldiers will serve as grass-roots non-commissioned officers in the ten newly formed slave garrison battalions, so that the ten slave garrison battalions have initial combat capabilities.

I will give you five days. After the ten slave garrison battalions have been formed, you will send five slave garrison battalions to the front line to assist the main force in defense and conduct field training, so as to make them combat effective as soon as possible. For the remaining five garrison battalions, you can equip Sunbawood with two, plus the remaining one-wheeled steel crossbow brigade to let him continue to raid those islands, and three garrison battalions are responsible for transporting logistics supplies to the front and the rear. Security guard.

We have occupied Nubit Port. The supplies, food, grass, and equipment reserves here are all sufficient. There is no need to worry about the lack of logistical supplies. All the equipment needed for the formation of these ten slave garrison groups can be disbursed from the seized equipment. They will be the reserve force of the family armed forces we set out on the expedition, and they will no longer be related to the slave camp.

Therefore, we must be cautious when selecting soldiers. Their treatment will be the same as our regular family armed forces. Their families can live in the inner city, take care of our wounded and do us chores, all of which have corresponding remuneration. do you understand? "

Bodfinger nodded: "My lord, I understand that I will let them return to their hearts as soon as possible and make them proud of being a soldier of the Norton family. However, my lord, these ten slaves have been recruited from the slave camp. Who will maintain the order after the camp? There are nearly 230,000 slaves today."

"I have ordered Hikerd and Kaimen, who are in charge of slave camp affairs, to cooperate fully with your actions. After conscripting these ten slave guard camps, they will continue to select suitable candidates to form a garrison team. Every island that has been swept away Arrange a garrison team of 100 to 300 people for defense. The slave camp will also form two garrison battalions. The remaining slaves will form fishing fleets, harvesting teams, transport teams, etc., and try to make all the slaves have things to do , Instead of staying in the camp idly...

By the way, Josk, Yuri, you will go out to the slave camp tomorrow before you leave. Kaimen has arranged a team of slaves for you. They are very familiar with the Wangcheng Plain, know where there are slave farms, and know where they are not. Fewer slaves, it will be easier for the slaves there to believe that we are going to rescue them if they guide you. "

"Okay, my lord," Josk replied.

"Injerek, you also set off with Tiger Ross and they are on the front line. That's the basic arrangement, do you have any other opinions?" Lorist asked.

Injerek stood up: "My lord, we have delayed the date of our expedition to the Kingdom of Hamidas. According to your arrangement, this war may last for a while. The Kingdom of Haneabadha should know why we are here. , Then will they take revenge against those family knights and soldiers our family fell into their hands?"

Well, the old man is still worried about the safety of his precious grandson, Fatty Shi, but this is also inevitable, human nature.

Lorist smiled and replied: "I got a good news this afternoon~www.readwn.com~ The guard who went to clean up the battlefield and check the results of the scout camp reported to me that the old messenger who had seen me died on the road. So tonight, I will set off with Tagel overnight to head to the King City of Hamidas and try to rescue the family knights and soldiers in the arena.

If the Kingdom of Hanea Bada sent troops, the more you hit them in the hilly area, the longer the confrontation, the safer my operation will be. In addition, you also have to relax a little bit. You can't beat the opponent too hard to make them retreat in a cage to defend themselves and trap us in the King City. If you occasionally express your inability to hold on and give up some of the insignificant defensive positions in front, it would be best if you let the enemy think that you can win with more effort. "

Everyone laughed, and Josk said, "My lord, should I also go to the city with you?"

Lorist smiled and said: "You can't, maybe the three great swordsmen still remember you, and they were discovered as soon as they showed up. Don't say anything, no one wants to follow me, suddenly a strange golden rank appears. The swordsman of ”will make people suspicious. The enemy is not really a fool, just go with Tagore. That’s it, you will be busy tomorrow, each of your duties, don’t let me down.”

"Yes, my lord."
