Lord of War

William has always insisted not to march, and Bonn has nothing to do, after all, this army is not under his jurisdiction and command.レm♠Thinking♥Road♣Guestレ

Not long after, there was a rumbling sound from the other end of the earth.

A billowing smoke and dust spread, and one could see the rolling smoke and dust flying on the ground like a yellow dragon from a high altitude. About a few hundred meters behind the smoke dragon, there is an infantry team, whose number is nearly double that of the cavalry in front, but the weapon configuration is different, mainly archers, There are only about a hundred shield soldiers.

However, considering that this is a city defense garrison, not a field army, it is normal to have a slightly higher ratio of archers. It's just that compared with the light cavalry's rapid march, although the infantry team's speed is slightly slower, they are actually advancing at small steps, which actually consumes a lot of energy, especially after a while. There is obviously a battle to be fought , it turned out that at this time, I didn't retain enough physical strength...

William shook his head unobtrusively, and sighed in his heart: If it was only this kind of quality troops, I could easily eat them with the troops on hand. If I had known this kind of strength, I wouldn't have to bother to calculate so much. I don't know if the opponent's old soldier can go to the battlefield.

In fact, not only William saw the ostentation of this army, but even Alfred and Cecilia also frowned, and their faces showed a bit of disbelief. In their impression, the private army of the nobles should be very brave and good at fighting, because the number of wars broke out among the nobles is the most, and it is often possible to turn into a war because of a small incident, especially in the Principality of Ryan. This kind of thing happens more often.

So, how can an army that fights frequently be a weak brigade?

But the fact before us is that the situation of this army is not even as good as that of the White Wing Mercenary Corps.

Sean finally knew why a hundred-man light cavalry was wiped out. An army like this, not to mention hundreds of riders, even if thousands of riders go out, they will never come back when they meet a lower-ranking member of the Golden Deaththorn.

Soon, a hundred light cavalry stopped near William's army.

They seemed to know that their riding skills were not particularly good, so they had no intention of showing off their riding skills, but simply pulled the reins and tried to rein in the horses. However, he didn't know whether it was due to lack of training or other reasons. William even saw many light cavalry riding their horses forward for about ten steps before finally stopping. The troops became even more scattered at this time.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, another infantry army finally arrived late,

But looking at their almost exhausted appearance, William really doubted whether this army could still fight. However, since the other party's commander didn't say anything, William didn't bother to ask at all. He had completely lost interest in this army, and he also had no interest in the commander of this army at all.

What's the value of a commander who can't even control the marching rhythm?

Seeing that the troops had assembled, Sean, Alfred, and Cecilia fell from the canopy, and then walked towards William, and the two sides quickly joined together.

At this time, the commander who had dealt with Sean yesterday came over with Bunn and another person who seemed to be a commander. Both parties seemed to have some resentment and dissatisfaction with each other, so there were no polite greetings, and they went straight to the point when they spoke.

"May I ask what your Excellency William is going to do?" the conductor yesterday asked in a deep voice.

"According to the entrustment agreement, our responsibilities have been completed, and the rest is up to you." William replied unequivocally, "We will only assist your offensive from the side, but we are not under your command, and we It will also decide whether to retreat according to the situation."

Speaking of this, William squinted at the so-called "army" behind the three commanders. This time it was his turn to show contempt on his face. It was obvious that the vengeful William still remembered the commander yesterday. Behavior at the hotel.

Then, there was a merciless mockery: "I believe that we will need to retreat soon."

"As a coordinated force, I have the right to ask your troops to be in command of me." The commander also refused to give up an inch, and it was clear at a glance what he was planning.

"I refuse." William sneered, with an extremely tough attitude, "If you still can't understand what I mean, then I will repeat it clearly to you... I doubt your commanding ability and your intentions, so I Refuse to hand over my command. My troops will only assist your offensive from the sidelines. The specific battle situation and combat opportunities will be judged by me, so if you want my troops to be responsible for frontal combat, then I can make it clear Let me tell you, it's impossible."

"you!"

"Your Excellency Sean, is this the attitude of your... mercenary group?" Bunn saw that both sides were already angry, and he also knew that William's teeth were sharp, so he tried to shift the target.

"William's attitude is my attitude." Sean replied lazily without thinking, "When war broke out, everyone including me had to fully follow William's command and assignment, so If you have any doubts, go to William."

In Sean's view, professional matters should be handled by professional personnel.

Of course he wants experience points, but if he wants to use his troops as cannon fodder, this is absolutely impossible. Anyway, he has already reached the fifth level and mastered the first spell engraving, and the rest of his strength needs to be strengthened. Wait until level ten. However, he, Annuo, Alfred and others joined forces to assassinate more than 20 people, and the experience value increased by 9%, and the increase in experience value will increase after the upgrade. According to this data, even if he The enemy troops in the entire valley have been slaughtered and they don't know if they can be upgraded to two levels, but for such a small profit, they will give up this army.

How could Shawn do it?

This is a living life!

It's not a piece of data in the game!

Although he knew that it was impossible to kill people in a war, Sean would be very happy if a few people could die because of his decision and some policies. This is not a feeling of compassion, nor is it a benevolence to buy people's hearts, but it is just that Xiao En thinks so, so he does it, as for the reason? Sean never thought about it.

Negotiations on the command authority broke down.

Bunn and the other two commanders also returned to their troops and began their formation and tactics.

"I won't be ashamed of your trust." William looked at Sean, and then sighed. The look at this moment was so charming and charming, it didn't look like the expression a man should have at all, "This How are you going to fight?"

Xiao En smiled slightly and said, "Destroy the enemy as much as possible."

"I understand." William nodded with a serious expression on his face.

Soon, the Loveland garrison completed the tactical arrangement and deployment.

The combat method they adopt is very old-fashioned, that is, shield soldiers are in charge of the front line, followed by spearmen and archers, and the distance between the three parties is 30 meters. Afterwards, the light cavalry unit led by another commander did not move. They seemed to be resting on the spot. However, this tactical formation is relatively normal. After all, the forest terrain is not conducive to the cavalry unit. attack.

Even the light cavalry unit is the same.

But Cecilia and Sean shook their heads when they saw this formation, and their last hope for this noble garrison disappeared without a trace. And even Sean and Cecilia are like this, let alone William, who is very picky?

"They're all a bunch of idiots with brains." William curled his lips in disdain, "Do they think that the shields are defensive troops? Don't even look at the difference between the round shield and the half-body shield! The spearmen of the second combat order are still Keeping distance from the shield soldiers, what are they thinking? And fighting in the forest terrain, the archers are actually gathered in a concentrated formation, do they think the target is not big enough?"

At this moment, a certain mechanism in William's body seemed to be opened by someone, and his mouth was crackling like pouring beans. But even though his complaints continued, the movements of his hands were not slow. Together with a few gestures, the whole army started to run like gears.

William knew that the barbarians in the North didn't understand the changes in the battle formation, but he didn't have the character to ask Sean to formulate those slogans. So he simply selected some people from the archer unit, rearranged them and the northern barbarians into five groups, and then let the northern barbarians remember their commanders, as if they were five small cogs, and his order It will also be passed on to each group precisely through these commanders, turning these five small gears into a big gear.

Although this command method is simple, it is very effective against the northern barbarians.

As for William, of course it is impossible to continue sitting on the horse. Such a goal is too conspicuous. As an excellent commander, he certainly cannot make such a mistake.

A hundred northern barbarians raised their half-shields and moved forward cautiously. From the very beginning, they followed the orders of their respective team captains and formed five large half-arc formations to move forward. However, these five half-arc formations But they are closely integrated with each other. Any flaws exposed by one half-arc array will be made up for by the other half-arc array. It looks like an all-round circular array. If you just overlook it from a high altitude, this circular array will It looks like five petals.

This is the infantry defense formation that William himself developed, and it is most suitable for marching in forest terrain-the flower formation.

And the nearly 100-meter archers are all veterans who have experienced countless fights in places like the trading capital. Although they were surrendered soldiers, they were somewhat uneasy and uneasy in their hearts, but once they entered the fighting state, they became calm and quiet, and all the uneasiness and uneasiness in their hearts completely disappeared, because they knew very well that if they were distracted at this time If so, they will be the first to die.

Since they are all veterans who have experienced brutal wars, there is no need for William to make any further reminders and arrangements.

The moment they entered the forest, except for the 30 people named by William who were in the middle of the flower formation, like flower buds, the other archers were all scattered around the flower formation, advancing cautiously with the help of tree trunks. As for whether some of these archers surrendered would take the opportunity to escape, it was beyond the control of Xiao En and others. After all, the soldiers who surrendered were threatened and coerced to some extent, so naturally it was impossible to count on their loyalty.

And it was almost as if William's troops had just started their formation in the forest, when a dense sound of spring strings reverberated throughout the forest, and countless arrows suddenly poured towards them. Xiao En quickly experienced the brutal attack method he used against the White Wing Mercenary Corps that night. A dozen archers and northern barbarians fell one after another when they were caught off guard, and several of them were killed on the spot!

"Shield array!" William immediately hid behind the shield of the northern barbarians, and at the same time he did not forget to give the command order, "Zì yóushè strike!"
