Chapter 871 Surprise Attack
Spend as much as you have, this is Borda's attitude towards life. His identity is a knight retinue, and he is considered tall and burly. It's kind of good fighting power. But on the battlefield, he is the pawn who rushes to the front, and his biggest mission is to follow the master Luke Knight to kill as many enemies as possible.
"Borda, how's Maggie's ass? Is it as good as I said?"
"Nen! I made her unable to get out of bed."
Boasting his might in an exaggerated voice, Borda staggered, but found that he had stepped on a pile of shit. This is not a ****, because the management of the camp is chaotic, and everyone is only responsible for their own knights, so things like shit and pee are usually enough to "leave your own barracks area", regardless of whether you are on the road or on the road. under the tree.
"Oh shit…"
Borda cursed, lowered his head and stomped his feet twice, and almost knelt on the ground because he was dizzy from drinking too much. At this moment, he felt a buzzing sound coming from his ears. Rubbing his eyes swollen from drinking and indulgence, he looked up to the sky, where a small black shadow was flying over their heads.
This scene has appeared almost every few days in recent months. Everyone wondered what it was at first, but now it's so commonplace that it's completely ignored.
They just thought it was some kind of flying monster they had never seen before, as long as it didn't come down to bite people, there was nothing to worry about.
Trying to wipe the shit off the shoes with a branch, Borda staggered to find the camp he was in. As a knight retinue, he had no camp to use at all, and usually slept with other retinues to find a flat place , spread some straw and fell asleep directly. Therefore, this drunken servant didn't look for the so-called "bed", but just found a place where he could lie flat, and fell down with a "plop".
"Dudley, where's the master?"
"Where else could it be? A certain banquet in the city. You won't be back until noon anyway. You can rest assured and sleep."
The companion knew that he was afraid of being blamed by Knight Luke, but in fact, the nobles and knights in the camp basically spent the night in the city these days.
Borda, who was lying on the straw, closed his eyes reassuringly, but after lying down for a few seconds, he suddenly sat up: "What's that sound?"
"What's wrong?"
Several companions who hadn't woken up were quarreled by him, and asked with unfriendly expressions.
"Listen to the ground,
It seems that something is moving! "
He put his ears on the ground again as he spoke, and after a while, these people looked at each other: "It seems... there is really something rumbling."
"No, it won't be the Templar Cavalry, right?!"
Dudley's voice trembled. They were located to the west of the city, about 60 kilometers away from the temple. There were many villages and towns in the middle, but because of the battle, people had already been withdrawn to the vicinity of the city. There are only a few sporadic outposts on the periphery, so if there is a team from the temple, they will all be warned in advance.
"Are you stupid? Could it be that the Templar's horse came here to beat you in one breath? If so, there would have been a warning from the beacon fire!"
Someone next to them cursed a few words, and then they realized that this could not be the enemy's army. So someone climbed to the mound next to it and looked into the distance to see that the sky was getting brighter at this time, and the visibility may still not be far away. You can only see up to a kilometer away. But obviously, there was no wolf smoke lit up there.
"It's okay, it's time to sleep, maybe it's just a herd of deer..."
Borda also felt that he was a little too nervous. He rubbed his nose and glanced into the distance. The mist at the end of his vision was as usual.
But these followers didn't know that the outpost one and a half kilometers away from them had just been trampled down by a team of twelve cavalry.
The sentinels here were not very vigilant, so when the knights of the Dragoons raided here in the early morning, they were all strangled without even touching their weapons. As a result, as soon as the tinder was thrown out, the entire firewood pile turned into a lump of ice before his eyes.
Among the Dragonlance Knights, a mage wearing a robe put down his magic wand and said loudly, "Report, the Beacon Tower is done."
"Report, there is no one inside the outpost."
"Report, none escaped."
"The battle is over, rest where you are, let the horse recover, Cohen, report to the rear. Maintain vigilance now!"
"yes!"
The captain of this team is Belloch, a Dragonlance Knight brought out by Davidian himself. They were originally composed of heavy cavalry, but since the preparation stage for this war, they have never trained heavy cavalry sprinting, but focused on scouting and attacking. For them, the task of clearing the sentry post is not even as intense as the usual training.
Five outposts were removed along the way, and 12 of them killed a total of more than sixty enemy sentries, without even a slight injury on their side.
The soldiers in the outpost were all recruited by the nobles under Earl Harrison's command. Not to mention good and bad, they were basically unfamiliar with each other, and their average level was no more than 10. However, the group of dragon gun knights are all advanced to level 5 or above, and the basic level is full, so they face each other, except for instant kills or instant kills, they have not even encountered a decent resistance.
Belloch took out the small magic clock that he carried with him, glanced at the scale on it, and said, "It's five minutes earlier than the expected time. Everyone has completed the task well."
Including the young mage, everyone had undisguised excitement and tension on their faces. And five minutes later, a deep roar pierced through the mist, and six huge arcane puppets slowly appeared in front of everyone, as if they were beasts from ancient times.
These six arcane puppets have been working with all their strength since last night. Instead of "compacting" and then "solidifying" like the previous road construction, they directly "compacted the road surface". Therefore, starting from the west gate of the temple, after spending seven hours, a temporary road from the temple to the city of Suwara was abruptly created in this way!
The dense heat made the engineers driving the puppets sweat profusely, but their bright eyes were full of excitement. After stopping the machine according to the operation steps, Belloch had already retreated to the other side with the horses and soldiers. He glanced at the clock in his hand again, it was five minutes before six o'clock in the morning.
The sun was gradually rising, and in the gradually dissipating mist, Belloch saw the team forming a long snake and slowly approaching on the temporary road.
The appearance of the first three trucks is different from the others, because what is towed behind them is not a troop carrier, but two long-tube gun barrels that can be rotated side by side, and the cab of the truck is not made of wood. , but covered with metal plate armor.
The three trucks also had huge tires with an astonishing diameter, almost twice the size of the other trucks. When they were about to reach the end of the road, they turned directly to the left, continued on the muddy road as if walking on the ground, and then lined up in front of them in the shape of a character.
Forty-two trucks followed behind them, and after they stopped on the road at a distance of 20 meters from each other, soldiers in full armor quickly jumped off in units of platoons. Because the total number of trucks put into the battlefield in Efta this time is less than 100, so in order to increase the transportation capacity, each truck with a load of 25 people was loaded with 35-40 people, and the soldiers of these 42 trucks After rushing down wearing armor, a whole team of 1,500 people quickly lined up amidst the sound of slogans. In less than five minutes, everyone lined up in a horizontal and vertical square formation like on the training ground.
Soldiers in this era have not yet equipped individual thermal weapons, so the smallest unit of infantry combat is the platoon. The infantry division has a special "artillery company", which is also in the formation at this time. They are using the spar cannon developed by Kardashian after learning from the earth's thermal weapons...
All soldiers were already wearing full armor when they boarded the vehicle, and only weapons were placed in special weapon boxes on the side of the truck. After arriving at the destination, they immediately picked up their weapons and assembled the whole team after getting off the car. In terms of preparation speed alone, these soldiers were hundreds of times faster than all the troops of the Karen Kingdom.
From arriving at the battlefield to being able to launch an attack, the team only took 20 minutes in total.
And the leader of this force is the original dragon gun knight Faram. On such a battlefield, he did not give an impassioned speech like a normal military commander, but stood in front of everyone holding a dagger and said: "For Efta!"
Fifteen hundred soldiers stood like nails on the muddy road and shouted at the same time: "For Efta!"
They have received enough ideological education in the barracks, and they don't need to talk nonsense before the battle. Falam nodded in satisfaction, and ordered the five battalion commanders beside him: "According to the plan to attack, before 12:00 noon, I hope to listen to your report at the Earl's Mansion."
"Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!"
The five battalion commanders turned around and left. Three minutes later, the infantry phalanx began to move neatly and formed two phalanxes as they moved forward.
The position between them is the artillery company, and these artillerymen are in groups of ten, dragging the spar cannons with the weight reduction of the levitation magic circle.
And behind them, there are three heavy trucks moving slowly forward.
Because the fog cleared and the distance was so close, the "Turtle Camp" one kilometer away inevitably heard these movements. And when they took advantage of the rising sun to see clearly the sudden army in front of them, each one of them almost seemed to be struck by lightning, and there was a "spectacle" of collectively standing there in silence!
They didn't know why there was an infantry phalanx here, and they didn't know what those black trucks were. However, the orderly team in sight, the constant shouting of slogans, and the sound of footsteps that seemed to be stepping on everyone's chest made them feel suffocated...
This is not the person who came to chat and laugh with them, because these guys in front of them are covered in light metal armor, and the daggers and shields in everyone's hands reflect dazzling light
Goddess Siqi, the only ones who can be equipped with metal armor are the royal guards, right?
?? It’s meaningless to say how many people hacked to death in a big war, so let me try to describe this war from the perspective of some small people on the battlefield.
