Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 374 Victory

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Lorist stood on a guard tower in the middle of the third defensive line, watching the troops from the four principalities in the middle and the Fiesabrun family's armed forces converge under the guidance of a horn and a flag. Close up and gradually arrange into a battle formation and enter the position ready for field battle.

"His Royal Highness, they are too slow. It has been more than two hours since lunch and the queues and battle formations have not been cleaned up. You see, all of us have taken a nap." Shi Huade pointed out. A few family soldiers who had just woken up while stretching their arms under the watch tower said.

Reddy smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "So your Royal Highness asks everyone to take time to rest after lunch. Are you opposed to doing that? I think it will be a little careless, and even if the enemy surprises us, we If you don’t react, you will suffer a big loss. Now, you see, we took a nap and the enemy hasn’t finished adjusting the formation. It’s like you said that everyone stood vigilant for more than two hours. Now all the guarantees don’t have much energy."

Schwarder was a little anxious to distinguish: "But I said that as a precaution, if we all dismount and rest, then the enemy suddenly attacks us and we are not in a hurry. The distance is only more than 300 meters, and those rangers don’t need a few minutes. Can sweep our ground. I'm just a little surprised, why don't they launch an attack?"

Lorist laughed: "If we were only facing the old fellow Fisabrunn, I wouldn't let everyone dismount and rest. That would be too risky. But now we are facing the troops of the Four Duchy of Central China. When we set up a field battle, even if the Fisabrun family’s rangers wanted to attack us, they would be opposed by the four Central Duchys. Look at the opposite, the Central Four Duchy clearly deployed their heavy troops in the Central Front. Want to use the superiority of troops to defeat us in one fell swoop and obtain the final victory.

However, they are infantry troops with slow speed, and they have damaged a lot of men and horses by capturing the first line of defense. It does take time to readjust. One of them is worried that we dismount and rest is a trap that induces them to launch a surprise raid. Even if the rangers are allowed to make a surprise attack, if it is a trap, the rangers who launched the raid will definitely be seriously injured. Such a failure before the war will cause serious injuries. Morale, so nothing is worse than nothing, they won't allow those rangers to surprise. Another reason is that they also need time to line up their troops. We also give them a signal to dismount and rest. We will not start an offensive to interrupt their formation until they finish setting up the battle formation. process. "

Tiger Rose and Pachiko went on the roof of the guard tower and gave Lorist a knightly salute.

"How about your left and right wings? Which enemy is the enemy?" Lorist asked.

Tiger Rose glanced at Pachiko, and Pachiko nodded for Tiger Rose to reply.

"His Royal Highness, the enemies we face on the left and right wings are the same. From the standpoint of the flag, they are the two regiments of the Fifth Frontier Ranger regiment of the Fesabrunn family. My side is the first and third regiments, and on Pachico's side. It's the second and fourth corps. But they also brought 20,000 cavalry. Pachiko and I faced about 40,000 enemies." Tiger Ross replied.

"Twenty-four-five thousand against forty thousand. Although the enemy's strength exceeds yours, it should not put the main attack direction on the two wings. The grass barbarian cavalry is a rabble and only fights downwind. As long as it withstands the first three wild attacks, As soon as the war entangled them, they couldn't stand it. With the strength and equipment of our family's Flying Tiger Corps, we were crushing them in all aspects.

As for the Fifth Border Ranger Corps, according to the news we have received and the confessions of the captives, this is a newly formed regiment. It ranks the worst among the armed forces of the Fesabrunn family. The only thing to worry about is this. The vast majority of soldiers in the Fifth Border Ranger Corps are equipped with long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows. It is said that their most accustomed method is to dismount their horses in long-range bow battle formations to perform long-range attacks. So after the start of the war, your Lancers must be vigilant. "Lorist said thoughtfully.

"Yes, Your Highness, we will be careful." Tiger Ross said: "But what we are worried about now is the center line. The enemy has clearly come out. Will the strength of the center line be weak?"

The enemy’s left and right wings are already 80,000 troops. The deployment of the center line on the opposite side is dominated by the elite infantry of about 60,000 from the four principalities in the central part, supplemented by more than 20,000 troops from the Fesabrun family’s reserve army, which adds up to eight. Ten thousand horses have surpassed Lorester's Chinese army by about twice the strength. No wonder Tiger Ross and Pachiko are a little worried.

"It's okay." Lorist smiled and shook his head: "I have transferred Oviz’s Thunderbolt Catapult and Terman’s Raging Bear Knights to hide behind, and I’m about to wait for the start of the field to give our enemy one. Surprise. There is nothing terrible about the number of enemies that are about to fail. Instead, you should pay attention to the left and right wings. Once the enemy is defeated, you don't need to chase them. Let the Pegasus regiment of the Felim family chase the enemy. They are light cavalry. And you have to lead the Flying Tiger Corps into the middle from the left and right ribs. This time our main target is the elite infantry of the four central principalities. As long as they can wipe out most of the infantry, the old fellow Fi Sablon will not be able to jump. Yes, do you understand?"

"Understand, Your Highness." Tiger Rose and Pachiko straightened their chests.

"Well, you can go back to command the troops, and see that the formation of the opposing battle formation is almost complete, and the battle is about to begin. When you go to battle, be careful, and protect yourself while making contributions."

"Yes, Your Highness."

A whimpering sound of a long-toned horn sounded, and then a burst of rumbling war drums swept across the earth like thunder in the battle formation on the opposite side. Looking from the guard tower, the flags of the battle formation on the opposite side were displayed, cheers and slogans were spread over...

Lorist lifted up his spirits: "Finally, Swarder, what time is it?"

Sword ran down and quickly ran back: "Your Highness, it's a quarter past three."

"Blow the trumpet, the whole army is on alert, waiting for the enemy to attack."

No messenger came to read the war book, and no knight came out to challenge. The elite infantry of the four principalities in the central part and the Fiesabrun family armed forces rested in the militant formation for less than half an hour before directly attacking. Countless two-wheeled shield vehicles built with logs formed three rows and were pushed forward and rolled towards the third defensive line where Lorist was located.

"His Royal Highness, we can order the Pili Catapult to launch the stone ball. Now it has enough range." Schward said, looking at a log shield car like a wave.

"No hurry, they just started to set off, and it’s not too late for them to launch the sling after they pass the center line. I have already ordered Orviz to calculate the range and direction. In ten minutes or so, you can just dance the black flag and send a signal. That's okay." Lorist said flawlessly: "Also, order Sulemoth to prepare for the enemy. His heavily armored regiment is our first line of defense."

Sulemoth is the family knight of the Duke of Kenmes, and his fighting spirit ranks one gold star. It is said that he was once a slave gladiator in the Kingdom of Haneabad. At that time Kenmes was still a viscount. His father went to the slave kingdom because of his business and watched a **** gladiator against the victor Sulemoth. I became interested and paid him a lot of money to redeem him. Freed Sulemoth became a knight of the Kenmes family because of gratitude, and was also the commander of the Kenmes family heavy armour regiment that was transferred to the Southern Province this time.

The infantry battle formations of the four central princes that took the initiative to attack seem to be aggressive, but the attack speed is not very fast. It is actually not easy for the first three rows of log shield cars to reach the third defensive line. This is close. The distance of 300 meters, and these log shield vehicles are made in a rough and rough way. Even the two wheels are difficult to be round, and some are even different in size. This is only 50 or 60 meters. The log shield car was overwhelmed, and several of them collapsed due to problems.

Lorester expected it to be ten minutes, but it took nearly half an hour for the log shield cars in the first row to be close to the center line. At this time, there were several battle formations behind these log shield cars. They stopped. They were all longbowmen in battle. Now that they had reached the range of the lob, they were about to launch a long-range lob and cover shooting on the family armed forces of the four Northland alliances lined up on the third defensive line.

"Order the Thunderbolt sling battalion to launch stone balls, destroy the log shield cars in front, order Malek’s chariot steel crossbow regiment to raise the shooting range, focus on attacking the longbow battle formation, and order Sulemoth’s heavy armor regiment to do long-range defense. !" Lorist quickly gave three orders, and Sward and Reddy pounced on the edge of the tower's rooftop and began to shake the flag to issue orders.

When the first densely packed five hundred stone **** flew into the sky toward the infantry battle formation of the four principalities in the central part of the attack, everyone who didn't know what it was stared blankly at these huge stone **** falling from the sky and hitting them. Down...

These log double-wheeled shield cars can block the shots of the steel crossbow, but they cannot stop the huge stone **** falling from the sky. Dozens of log shield cars are directly smashed by these stone balls, and even more. It was a huge stone ball hitting a log shield cart. Not only did the log shield crack, even the two-wheeled cart was smashed into the air, and even the soldiers with a few defenseless carts fell on the ground. Eight meters away, by the way, the hapless guy who knocked over a dozen.

These were the huge stone **** that hit the log shield car, and more of the stone **** that did not hit the ground fell on the ground, bounced again, and rolled towards the neatly arranged infantry battle formations. For a while, the area where the stone was thrown was in chaos. No one can stop these huge stone balls, no matter what is in front of them, as long as the soldiers hit by these stone **** will fall down with blood mold, either dead or injured. , The horrible howls of the dozen battle formations in the middle became a piece...

But this is just the beginning. Countless shadows came again with the ominous "swish" wind. Following the gap of this smashed log shield car, the crossbow arrows fired by the chariot steel crossbow corps directly saved those who survived the stone. The ball was swept away by the restless soldiers. The corpses piled up like a mountain, and the blood flowed into a river, which was terrible.

Although this is just a small gap in the long front, the infantry battle formation of the four central kingdoms has become a little hesitant as if they were hit by a heavy blow. The areas that were not hit by the huge stone ball The soldiers pushing the log shield carts all looked up to the sky, not only them, but the soldiers in the infantry battle formation who followed behind also focused on the sky.

They were not disappointed. A dense array of huge stone **** appeared again in the sky, and the soldiers who had determined the area where the stone **** fell were suddenly confused. The soldiers pushing the log shield cart dropped off the cart and turned and ran, while the soldiers lined up behind. They also collapsed. They screamed and ran around. Several centurions who came up to stop them were even pushed to the ground by them. Then dozens of pairs of feet stepped on without hesitation...

"Um...what's that?" Grand Duke Feisabrun, who stood on a tower in the middle of the second defensive line, had his eyes protruding, astonished as he watched the infantry battle formation on the front line being stirred into a pot of porridge by the huge stone ball falling from the sky.

"I once heard that when the Norton family armed forces overcame the Antinac kingdom and drove Queen Kerry down, they used a device capable of throwing huge stones along the way in order to conquer the castle fortresses. It seemed to be called a catapult. The stone **** being thrown should be the function of those catapults." Grand Duke Sabagi replied solemnly.

"Then what should we do now?" Grand Duke Handela was very anxious, and now all the elites of his principality were smashed in front.

"Blow the retreat, let's retreat and wait until we figure out a way to deal with these catapults before launching an attack." Duke Faker suggested by the side.

"No!" Grand Duke Feisabrun was anxious: "You see that the front is almost messed up. The horn of retreat will ensure that the Chinese army will collapse. The enemy will definitely pursue it. You are all infantry soldiers with two legs but their four legs. I think it is better to blow the Charge for a full-scale offensive. We have the advantage and the loss is not big. The full-scale offensive still has the hope of victory!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Grand Duke Handra gave an anxious look: "Look at the fact that even the battle formation can't be sustained now. Is it possible to launch a full-scale attack? While there is still more than half of the battle formation to maintain, we should quickly Retreat and reorganize. The enemy with superior strength will not launch a pursuit..."

Just when several grand princes were arguing about whether to advance or retreat, the situation on the front line has become more and more out of control. Without most of the log shield carts, the chariot steel crossbow regiment under the command of Malek has given the infantry battle formations of the four principalities in the central part of the country know what a steel crossbow storm is. The endless crossbow arrows swept the front dozen like a storm. Thousands of soldiers fought, and the Principality soldiers fell under the crossbow.

Facing the huge stone ball and stormy crossbow arrows that fell from the sky, the dozen infantry battle formations immediately in the middle collapsed. The soldiers abandoned their weapons and turned and fled. Even the infantry battle formations in the rear began to restlessly. …….

"Blew the trumpet and ordered the Raging Bear Knights to attack. The Kenmax family's heavy armour regiment followed and ordered Malek's chariot and steel crossbow regiment to come forward to respond, order Orvix’s Thunderbolt Catapult to move forward and launch the largest The sling shot attacked and blocked the enemy's back." Lorist ordered again.

The attack of the Raging Bear Knights led by Terman accelerated the collapse of the infantry battle formation of the four principalities in the central part, and the heavy knights entered the retreating infantry like a tiger like a flock. However, the enemy reacted quickly, and the Reserve Corps of the Fesabrun family quickly rushed up and entangled with the Raging Bear Knights~www.readwn.com~ to cover the retreat of the infantry.

Lorester is very anxious. If the infantry of the four central princes is allowed to withdraw most of the war, the outcome of this war is still uncertain. Even if he has the upper hand, as long as the enemy reintegrates the removed soldiers and puts them on the battlefield, the enemy will occupy it. The superior force is likely to return to the situation. The top priority is to completely defeat the enemy. If the guard battalion is around, it will be fine, and he will directly bring the guard battalion into the battle.

"Prepare the horse, let's go to battle." Lorist said, now one more combat power is one more combat power.

As soon as I got off the guard tower and mounted the mount, I heard the thunderous cheers on the battlefield.

"His Royal Highness, we have won, we have won!" Sward roared with excitement.

Lorist looked up, but the two battle flags of the Flying Tigers appeared on the left and right wings. The Tiger Ross and Pachiko did not live up to Lorist’s expectations and were leading the Lancers from their ribs to the enemy’s back. road.

Lorist smiled and said: "Yes, we have won, blow the trumpet, and the whole army will attack!"
