White Dragon Lord
Chapter 282: Soldiers approaching the city
More than a hundred kilometers away from the border, the barbarians of various tribes began to gather. Such a large-scale army assembly naturally failed to hide from the magical reconnaissance of the army mage.
The dense camp, and the barbarians from all sides frightened the reconnaissance mage, and Viscount Namxia received the news immediately.
Hearing about the number of tents, the weather-beaten veteran couldn't help but be shocked. It was only the beginning of the barbarians assembly. One day later, the barbarians of various tribes were assembled, and the number of barbarians was even more terrifying than now.
Viscount Namxia quickly sent an urgent request for help to His Majesty the King in the Royal City of Lowe.
After receiving the request for help, the king only smiled, and replied to tell Viscount Namxia to stick to it for two days and that the reinforcements of White Castle would arrive soon.
According to the agreement between the XXIII Baines and the White Dragon Lord, the White Castle army will officially enter the battlefield in the early morning three days after the start of the war.
During these three days, the barbarians can cause certain losses to the Lowe Kingdom, but they are still within control. During this period, the comprehensive abilities of the four princes will be greatly tested, which is also the choice of the XXIII of Baines Questions for the next king.
On the other hand, the upcoming troops in the overseas islands have been assembled. In order to overwhelm the barbarians in military power, the White Dragon Lord sent ten thousand ogres, one hundred thousand jackals, and one thousand murloc nightcrawlers, plus logistics. The total number of auxiliary soldiers is more than 100,000.
In terms of numbers, the number of the White Fort's army is far fewer than the barbarians, but in terms of combat power, the White Fort's army is very different from the barbarians.
The lowest threshold for the Jackal troops in White Castle is the professional. In addition to the original racial talent of the Jackal, any Jackal in the army can compete against the human mid-level professional, and in large-scale group battles, equipped Sophisticated, command-and-forbid military forces have an absolute advantage.
Ten thousand ogres is a full-body heavy armor, which can be called a human-shaped tank. In close combat, a four-meter-long standard mace sweeps the battlefield. In long-range, these four-meter tall and surprisingly powerful fat guys throw. The throwing spear is as powerful as a ballista.
As for the horse warfare that barbarians are best at, the jackal cavalry riding hyenas is nothing but barbarians, and hyenas that serve as mounts are also considered a combat unit. Barbarians’ horses are inherently disadvantaged against ferocious carnivorous hyenas.
At this time, these 100,000 people had already assembled in the isolated military zone, and large military transport ships were lined up at the docks. Only when the last batch of military supplies were ready, they rushed to the battlefield.
After the preparation of the last batch of materials was completed, the horn of the expedition blew.
Oh oh oh!
Amid the sound of the boundless horn, a group of wolves and ogres assembled, formed a marching team, walked out of the barracks, and walked to the large military transport ship on the dock.
On the twenty military docks lined up in a row, large three-masted transport ships lined up to engulf group after group of soldiers. When they were full, they set sail, and the transport ships lined up immediately filled the vacancies. Everything was in order. Orderly, like an assembly line on a factory.
Around the large three-masted transport ship riding the wind and waves, groups of murlocs cruised back and forth to prevent the transport ship from being attacked.
The supreme commander of this military operation, the Jackal-Hogg Riverclaw stroking the blade with one hand, stood on the bow of the flag ship, looking at the four dragon ring flags hunting in the sea breeze, proud in his heart. It is Yafei Ivy who fought for.
…
After receiving the king's reply, Viscount Namxia breathed a sigh of relief, and understood why His Majesty the King would take the initiative to provoke the barbarians. With the aid of the army of the Yafi Avi Kingdom, the outcome of this battle is doomed.
The Lowe Kingdom will win!
Viscount Namxia strengthened this conviction in his heart, and immediately began to think about the current situation.
The sailing time, plus the land marching time, it takes three days for the Whitecastle's army to reach the battlefield. During these three days, the Lowe Kingdom will face the angry army of barbarians alone.
Far water can't stop near thirst. In the past few days, the Lowe Kingdom can only rely on itself. How to preserve its strength and reduce the loss of the Lowe Kingdom is what this excellent commander is thinking about.
Thinking about it, the barbarians have an absolute advantage in number, but they lack siege equipment, and defending according to the city is the safest way.
But if he blindly guarded the city, the barbarians jumped across the border and headed to the interior for wanton destruction, this situation is not what Viscount Nam Xia wants to see.
Clang clang clang!
Just as Viscount Namxia frowned and was planning on the map with a pen, a rapid alarm sounded.
This was a warning from the soldiers on duty on the tower. Viscount Namxia was startled and quickly put down the pen in his hand, picked up the sword placed by the table, and walked hurriedly towards the city wall.
Passing through the panicked people going home, Viscount Namxia climbed to the tower and saw the smoke and dust raised in the distance, which was the smoke and dust generated by a large number of horses running.
According to the range of the smoke and dust, the experienced Viscount Nam Xia judged that the number of enemies was no less than 30,000, and his face was solemn.
"Pass the order!"
"Open the warehouse, prepare arrows, and distribute them to the soldiers!"
"Supplement all military horses with first-class fodder!"
"Notify the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Cavalry Regiment! Assemble and prepare to go out of the city!"
"...."
Behind the Viscount, the messengers led one by one, hurried down the city wall, and ran towards all sides of the city.
As the order was issued, the fat quartermaster carrying a long set of keys and a team of empty-handed young men opened the doors of one warehouse after another. The young men moved out of the war supplies in the warehouse, neatly placed outside the door. On the wooden pallet.
The materials on the cart were piled up higher and higher, and the wheels wrapped in iron sheets creaked. After a cart was full, the veteran driving the cart waved the whip in his hand and drew it on the **** of the cart.
The horses pulled the fully loaded cart, trotted towards the city wall on the empty street, and the cart at the back made up the empty space.
The veteran was sitting on the edge of the cart, feeling slow, and waved his whip. After the alarm sounded, the residents on the street hurried back to their homes and closed their doors, so the street was empty at this time, and there was no need to worry about bumping into the cart when it ran. people.
Due to the full load, the speed of the horse is very slow, and the cavalry on the horse will overtake the horse who is pulling the cart from time to time.
Although it was not as fast as the cavalry, the horses were still faster than the soldiers on foot. They passed the groups of soldiers running along the street, and the carts carrying arrows rushed to the city wall not far away.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers in charge of logistics quickly separated a team to carry the bundles of arrows on the truck, and bundles of arrows were held by the soldiers and moved up the city wall.
On the stairs of the upper and lower city walls, the soldiers carrying supplies leaned upwards, and the soldiers empty-handed ran down the city wall. The two passed by without affecting each other's actions.
A pallet truck was just emptied, and the veteran who drove the truck waved his whip again, and the empty pallet truck ran towards the warehouse again.
Under the tall city walls, the horse breeders fed the cavalry horses with bean husks. In order to cope with the possible cavalry battle, these military horses need to replenish a lot of energy and eat rare fine materials.
And the knights of these military horses, after the assembly, sat in a row under the corner, ate the freshly sent jerky with spirits or water.
Like horses, cavalry also needs meat to replenish their physical strength. They bite the dried meat in their hands fiercely, as if they were the flesh and blood of the enemy, and poured a sip of water or spirits from time to time.
The spicy liquid flowed down the throat to the stomach, and a soldier raised his head and exhaled a white breath, making a satisfying sound.
The soldier's face was reddish, shaking the military kettle in his hand, listening to the small half bottle of wine, slapped his lips, and hung the kettle around his waist with a look of dismay.
If it was in peacetime, he would definitely be drunk, but when the battle was about to come, he must not be greedy for a cup.
Because it is located in the north and the weather is cold, northerners have a tradition of drinking to keep out the cold. Drinking is not forbidden in the frontier army, but if you are drunk and cannot go to the battlefield, then the chief will cut off the drunk before the enemy comes. The head is so effective.
After eating and drinking, the soldier drew out the long sword around his waist and wiped the edge of the sword with the corner of his clothes, softly as if touching the pretty face of his lover.
Weapons are the second life of warriors. It is the tradition of warriors to wipe their weapons before the war and pray to the gods they believe in.
Some of them pray that they can defeat the enemy and make meritorious denominations. Some just pray that they can survive. No matter how bad they are, they also pray that after their death, the gods can send envoys as soon as possible to receive their souls and go to the eternal kingdom.
Above the praying soldiers, the soldiers in the city did not have time to pray. They watched the smoke and dust approaching, and their hearts were beating. Even veterans could not help their heart beating faster before going to the battlefield.
At the feet of the soldiers, a few bundles of arrows were neatly stacked, and a few large stones were stacked on the corners of the city wall behind them. Although the barbarians lack large siege equipment, there are still ladders with simple craftsmanship, and the barbarian’s grappling hooks are not good enough. Not guarding.
With the help of a complete command system, Midoran Fortress, where Viscount Namxia is located, is ready for battle.
The infantry wore standard chain armor, and the cavalry stood beside their horses. Because the enemy was a barbarian, most of the frontier troops in the Lowe Kingdom were light cavalry, and the most common infantry and auxiliary soldiers occupied the other half.
At this time, in addition to the emergency force and the standby force, the infantrymen stood on the wall, standing with the highest commander of the frontier force, Viscount Namxia, looking at the approaching barbarians.
The barbarian team has appeared in the soldiers' vision. Tens of thousands of barbarians riding horses scattered towards the Midoran Fortress and rushed straight towards the Midoran Fortress. The sound of horses hooves shook the sky. Looking at this posture, it seemed that they wanted to encircle the Midoran Fortress.
But this is not the case. When the cavalry runs, they will raise a lot of dust. If they run in a long line, the knights behind will inhale a lot of dust. If they inhale dust for a long time, no one can stand it. Therefore, the cavalry will try to form as much as possible when they are on the road. They are all in the shape of "one".
Oh oh oh~!
It didn't take long for the soldiers on the wall to hear the barbarian-style war roar in the sound of horseshoes.
Viscount Nanoxia's face was solemn.
"Order the first, second, and third knights out of the city and scattered into the wilderness."
"Yes!"
Following the transmission of the order, the back door of Midoran Fortress opened wide, and the three knights named by the name filed out and ran towards the vast mountains and forests of the Lowe Kingdom.
The Lowe Kingdom has set up five military fortresses on the border with the barbarians, and the 100,000 frontier troops are scattered among the five fortresses, protecting the Lowe inland to the utmost extent.
The Midoran Fortress is the middle of the five fortresses and the command center of the frontier team. There are six cavalry regiments in the Midoran Fortress, each with two thousand cavalry regiments.
On weekdays, the six knights rotate around the border to prevent small groups of barbarians from sneaking into the interior and destroying them.
But at this time, a large group of barbarians attacked, and it was undoubtedly stupid that they were already in a weak position and dispersed their forces. Viscount Namxia gathered all six cavalry regiments.
The barbarians lack siege equipment, but their strength has the advantage. Viscount Namxia speculates that the barbarians will adopt a strategy of siege instead of attacking, blocking the border troops in the city, and then dispatching a team of barbarians to bypass the city and plunder the villages on the border of the Lowe Kingdom. Force the defenders to go out of the city to fight.
Rather than being forced to go out of the city to fight, it is better to allocate a portion of the troops ahead of time and disperse them into the mountains and forests of the country to attack the passing barbarians. The cavalry hidden in the mountains and forests can also deter the enemy.
The remaining forces in the city are enough to defend the fortress. The remaining three cavalry regiments serve as a strategic deterrent. After the arrival of the White Castle army, they can also flanking the barbarians who sneak into the kingdom.
Viscount Namxia sighed. Although there were scattered cavalry deterrents, there were too many villages in the kingdom to protect them.
Fortunately, the villagers were notified in advance to take refuge in the nearest city, but the monks could not run away from the temple, and the remaining villages would inevitably be ruined by the barbarians.
Out of the range of the crossbow arrows, the barbarians stationed their horses, lined up, screaming strangely in their mouths, and brandishing the weapons in their hands.
Because they come from different tribes, the usual weapons of these barbarians are different. The most common are axes, scimitars, and spears. It looks like a miscellaneous army, but the combat effectiveness of this miscellaneous army should not be underestimated.
Barbarians can become a disaster in the north for a reason. They are strong, good at riding, come and go like the wind, and have a fierce fighting style. When they are crazy, they dare to bite against monsters in the wilderness. Most people are really not their opponents.
In the distance, a barbarian drove the horse under the hip to leave the team and ran towards the Midoran fortress.
Under the gate of Midoran fortress, this sturdy barbarian with oil paint on his face reined in his horse, and looked at the people drawing bows on the wall with contempt.
"I'm Permahan! The chief of the Muro clan! The leader of this army! Ask your chief to come out and talk!"
On the city wall, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Viscount Nam Xia said loudly.
"I am the Supreme Commander of the Frontier Army of the Lowe Kingdom—Namixia Simmel! Say something!"
"Nami Xia?! I have heard of you!"
Permahan's tone suddenly rose a little, and asked angrily.
"Who gave you the courage! How dare to slaughter the people of Sandonal! Do you dare to go out of the city and fight me to the death?!"
"Don't dare!"
The natural tone of Viscount Namxia made the Barbarian Chief choke, and the originally written lines couldn't be said.
The scene was very embarrassing.
