Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 429: Method

His Highness's face was as dark as the rainy season in the past month. The news that Lorist brought him has made him not eat a good meal and sleep for three consecutive days, plus the frontline confrontation with Handra The defeat of the Principality’s defensive positions. It made him, a first-level swordsman, even got fire and toothache, and his cheek was swollen like a piece of bread in his mouth.

Especially the pharmacist who had just departed made the second majesty excited, wishing a sword would smash him. The pharmacist who was the court physician, after watching the condition of His Royal Highness's teeth for a long time, he spread his hands and said that he could do nothing, because tooth pain is a neurological disease, and pharmacy has always believed that dental disease is a big problem. , This is not like other physical problems, which can be cured by pouring a bottle of medicine. There is only one best way to solve the problem of tooth pain, and that is tooth extraction. But after the extraction, there was a tooth missing in the mouth. As for fillings, it is a fantasy, no one knows how to do it.

Of course, the Second Highness refused to pull his teeth. As the king of the Antinac Kingdom, a few teeth in his mouth would make the nobles laugh. There is no way to solve the problem, it is to pull a good tooth in the same position from the dead person's mouth and fill the gap in front of the people. This is also the practice of many nobles who have extracted their teeth. But when I thought of putting the dead person's teeth in his mouth and taking them off when eating, so as not to accidentally mix with food and swallow his stomach... The second majesty felt sick and refused the pharmacist's proposal.

The pharmacist reluctantly prepared to refine a few bottles of heat-clearing medicine for the Second Royal Highness, but he did not guarantee whether it would be useful for toothache. The Second Highness was in pain. If it weren’t for the inability to speak well, he would have to scold the pharmacist. Any toothache is a worldwide problem in pharmacy. A broken liver can be cured by pouring a bottle of medicine. How come the teeth are useless? What nonsense is that teeth are the crystallization of human bones, which are different from physical tissues. They are obviously not good at learning and skills. I really shouldn’t spend so many gold coins to worship him every year...

Looking at the newspapers of Morient City brought to him by Lorist on the table, the Second Highness felt that he was really out of luck. Seeing the defeat of the four principalities in the central part of the country, the achievement of regaining eleven provinces of the empire was in sight, the cause of the unification of the empire was already in sight. There was light, but the Ford Business Alliance, which was his greatest enemy, actually recruited a swordsman. With this Storm Sword Saint Town Nation, can he send troops to recover the provinces occupied by the commercial alliance in the future? If you can give up those provinces, can the empire's territory be considered complete? Can you still deceive yourself and think that you are the great monarch who has completed the rejuvenation of the empire?

Not to mention how anxious His Highness was, Lorist was accompanied by Earl Shaheen to the front line to check the battlefield situation. After the rainy season, Lorist spent more than half a month in Angry Bear City, until the Second His Royal Highness sent three messengers from the front line to urge him to go on the road. Then he was unwilling to take the Flying Tiger Legion out, and by the way, Moran Techeng published several newspapers that the Ford Business Alliance recruited a Zhenguo Jiansheng to report to him...

After checking the defensive positions set up by the four principalities in the middle opposite, Lorist finally understood why the Second Highness urged him to come over in a hurry. Originally, he was still wondering that the heavy armored infantry should be the work of the mountain. The flying tiger regiment is a cavalry. There is a fart. Now when I went to the battlefield, I realized that what the Second Highness wanted was not the cavalry, but the two long-range assault units, the steel crossbow of the chariot and the Pili sling battalion that belonged to the Flying Tiger Legion.

It was May 21 when Lorist arrived on the front line. After the rainy season, the Second His Highness led an army of more than 200,000 into the Westwood Province of the Principality of Handra, and successfully occupied a quarter of it at the beginning. However, I was stuck in the Weilongni Mountain Pass immediately afterwards. I failed several consecutive attacks. Only then did I remember using the Flying Tiger Legion’s long-range attack ability to suppress the defenders’ counterattacks, so I kept sending messengers. Urges Lorist to come as soon as possible.

"This battle is not easy to fight." Lorist said.

This is the truth. Westwood is, as the name suggests, a province of mountains and forests, and it is also a big province. Wyss, in lingua franca, means to describe the majestic mountains. The Yunduan Mountains of the Egret Lake Marsh originate in Campona Province, and cross the five provinces in Westwood Province. Although this is the end of the Yunduan Mountains, there are mountains and forests everywhere, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. At that time, the prince mobilized more than 200,000 troops to conquer the four principalities in the central region, and was also blocked in Westwood Province. But at that time the prince attacked from south to north, but now the second highness is attacking from north to south.

The Veyronne Pass, to be precise, should be the end of the Yunduan Mountains. The terrain is a bit similar to the Pispel Pass where the Pidro City of Winston Province is located, but this place is narrower than the Pispel Pass. Much wider, more than ten miles wide. However, although the Weilongni Pass is spacious, the terrain is still condescending, which is extremely unfavorable for the offensive side.

From the monoculars, it can be seen that the defense forces of the Principality of Handra still used trenches and defensive positions built by earth walls, but there were many more arrow towers. There are still many destroyed shield cars scattered around the defensive position. There are also a pool of dark marks on the ground. This should be the blood marks left by the attacking soldiers, and there are many potholes and depths on the soil slope. Different long linear groove marks...

"Look at the protruding parts on both sides of the soil slope." Earl Shahin reminded.

"What's that?" Lorist turned his monoculars to the place where Earl Shahin reminded him. What he saw was a row of weird high-tower wooden houses with long booms like manual cranes.

"Catapult." Earl Shaxin replied: "Your Majesty dispatched a catapult to cover the White Lions' attack. I didn't expect the enemy to be prepared. The row of weird wooden houses with long arms above turned out to be used for sling. The catapult is not as far away as our catapult, but the terrain is superior and condescending. The offensive troops of the White Lions suffered a disastrous defeat, with heavy casualties. The catapult sent by His Majesty the King also lost more than ten vehicles."

Trebuchet? Lorist understood. It seems that the Principality of Handra has already made a lever-style sling equipment. The tall tower-like wooden house below may have been deliberately constructed to cover up the principle of lever sling. Keep it secret. Lorist counted it. There were more than forty wooden towers on one side, and the two sides combined were nearly a hundred trebuchets.

"How big and heavy are the stones they shoot? Where can they be shot farthest?" Lorist asked.

Earl Shahin thought for a while and replied: "The size of a human head, weighing forty to fifty catties, should be able to be thrown as far as two to three hundred meters. The catapult sent by your majesty was destroyed at this distance, and the king was furious. , Said that the catapults you gave him were all rotten goods, and they weren’t as far away as the enemy’s. Because when the enemy’s slings attacked, our catapults also launched a counterattack immediately, but the problem is that all the slings fell on In front of those trebuchets, it was impossible to destroy them, so I had to retreat."

Lorist snorted softly from his nose: "Tattered goods, fortunately he said it. I don't want to think that we are attacking from the bottom up, the enemy is up, the advantage of this terrain accounted for most. Of course our catapult does not shoot as far as the enemy."

"Well, His Majesty the King also wanted to understand later. He arranged a night attack, but the enemy was heavily guarded and failed as well. The current battlefield format and the Principality of Frondo will be reversed. It will be our world during the day. The garrison of the Principality of Lundo can only counterattack at night to regain the positions we occupied during the day. But now with those hundreds of trebuchets on it, they have become their world during the day, and we can't attack at all." Said the earl.

This is true. The hundreds of trebuchets arranged on the soil **** are indeed a great threat to the attackers. As long as they enter the sling range, they have to be wary of falling rocks in the sky. Under such circumstances Needless to say, the efficiency of offense and the assurance of victory.

"His Royal Highness didn't try another place?"

"It's useless." Earl Shahin shook his head: "This is already the smoothest section of the Weilongni Pass, and it is also the most favorable terrain for our attack. We have seen other places, the mountains are steeper, and some mountain roads. Rounding the hills is more conducive to the defensive side. After all, the road in front of you is a thoroughfare between the four principalities in the central part, and it is also the most spacious and least threatening area for our offense. It’s just that we didn’t expect the Principality of Handra to arrange it on it. With so many trebuchets, we are stuck in this mountain pass."

"How are the forces of the central four principalities distributed?" Lorist asked.

"According to the reconnaissance of our scouts and the confessions of the captives, the front section of the mountain pass is guarded by the Red Dragon Legion of the Principality of Handra. The Red Dragon and White Dragon Legions are the two standing legions of the Principality of Handra. Each legion is twenty-four thousand. With a 1,000-person organization, each regiment has two regiments and one battalion. It is usually called the Red and White Shuanglong Corps. However, as soon as it is expanded during the war, it is divided into two regiments. At present, the Red Dragon Corps is divided into four regiments, each regiment. Eight thousand people plus a logistics battalion of three thousand people, with 35,000 people in full, are responsible for defending the Weilongni Pass.

The mountains on the left of the Yunduan Mountains are defended by the First Defense Corps of the Principality of Forlundo. On the right, the Mattenemadi Mountains are stationed by the Green Forest Mountain Corps of the Principality of Fakel. The remaining troops did not appear in ours. In front of us, we are facing nearly 130,000 people in these three legions. "Earl Shaheen has a clear understanding of the battlefield situation.

Lorist pointed to the misty Mattenemadi mountains in the distance: "His Majesty the King hasn't gotten an idea there?"

Count Shahin smiled bitterly: "Of course we have fought, but it almost ruined our family's elite light infantry scout team. The Maternemadi mountains are steep and there are no roads to pass, and the biggest feature is the many streams and deep ditch. The secret, it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch. The Green Forest Mountain Legion of the Fakel Principality only occupied a few strategic points and made it difficult for us to fly. I sent an elite scout team into the mountains to find our way, but only three hundred came back. people……"

"Isn’t the Nibaraku River passing by the Matenemadi Mountains and rivers leading to Dramak Province, the hinterland of the Principality of Handra? The Second Highness never thought that a strange soldier would break into the enemy’s back and disrupt the situation of the Principality of Handra. ?" Lorist made another move.

"It's useless, Grand Duke Fesabrunn proposed, but he almost killed a light cavalry regiment." Count Shaheen sighed: "The Principality of Handra was prepared for a long time. Grand Duke Fesabrun called craftsmen to make it. Countless wooden rafts were going down the river to reach Dramaq Province, but the Principality of Handra did not expect that the Principality of Handra pulled three iron chains at the bend of the Maternemadi mountains and rivers.

In order to achieve the unexpected effect of the raid, Grand Duke Feisabrun did not send anyone to scout at all, for fear that the enemy would be attracted by the attack. As a result, the cavalry of the Reserve Corps went down the river on the day of the dispatch, but was blocked by a chain. The enemy guarding on the shore quickly summoned reinforcements, took the opportunity to launch rockets and fireballs on the river, and dumped kerosene on the river to burn it. A sea of ​​flames, and in the end, the reserve army was defeated, losing nearly 10,000 horses..."

Okay, Archduke Feisabrun was unlucky enough. He lost almost a corps and was burned by fire, but he didn't even scratch the enemy's fur. Lorester gloated for a long time, remembering that he had packed up a ticket in front of the Second Highness and said that he would definitely figure out a way to take the front position, and then he frowned.

I really have a brain disease, why go to the welcoming banquet and laugh at the Second Highness that they are trapped here, and have to force myself to bring the Flying Tiger Legion. Then the Second Highness was agitated, and he couldn't stand the anger and drank too much wine, so he patted his chest and said that he would definitely come up with a way to capture this mountain pass defense position. Now it’s alright, let yourself live...

"Henned, you can take me around again to see if there are loopholes in the defense of the four central duchy." Lorister said to Earl Shahin.

After another three days, the heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine presented by the pharmacist finally worked. Although the teeth were still very painful, the cheeks of His Royal Highness had been swollen and could speak well. The depressed two His Royal Highnesses convened a military meeting to discuss how to break the current predicament and break through the defensive position of the mountain pass.

"Locke, last time you said that there must be a way to break through the Weilongni Pass. Have you come up with any good ideas these days?" The Second Highness said to Lorist first. Who told this guy to be unwilling when he brought the Flying Tigers over~www.readwn.com~ He complained at the welcome banquet and said that he was busy migrating refugees for three months last winter, and he helped himself to get rid of it. The threat of the mountain regiment behind the army in the Principality of Frondo has helped so much but didn't have enough rest time. At least it should make up for the winter vacation. He also asked if the Flying Tiger Legion of the Norton family wouldn't be able to fight anymore, and he was depressed half to death.

At that time, Archduke Feisabrun stood up and wanted to explain how well-equipped the defensive positions at the Vyronne Pass were. Lorist laughed and said that there is no foolproof defense in this world, but we did not find any weaknesses. I seized this opportunity to stop this guy, and then this guy volunteered to find out the weakness of that defensive position. Maybe it was because this guy drank a few more glasses at the time, it was really rare. However, this guy gave him the newspapers before he left, letting himself know the news that the Ford Business Alliance had recruited a Sword Saint Town State, which caused him to have a toothache for so many days...

If this guy said that he hadn't figured out how to attack the defense position of the Weilongni Pass, then he must laugh at him bitterly, who told him to be brazen. His Royal Highness thought so.

Lorist raised his three fingers: "Your Majesty, forgive me for my ignorance. After learning about the battlefield situation these days, I have only thought of three ways."
