Lord of War

  Day, there has just been a heavy rainstorm.

  But the earth is like a long drought and nectar, it has absorbed all the water that fell on the ground. If the troops hadn't just marched in the heavy rain, no one would believe that this was a sign that it had just rained.

  Thanks to this heavy rain, the schedule of the Dabron Mercenary Group was delayed by one day.

  But the young people of the Puda militia do not have such good luck. They continued to advance under the heavy rain, and at the moment when the rain ended, they arrived at the battle site set by William this time-one kilometer in front of the canyon.

  William did not place the battle site in the canyon, just to weaken the will of the enemy from his faith.

  The terrain like a canyon is definitely a good place to ambush at a glance. And if even the opponent knows the result, then there will be a line of defense from the will, so once it encounters a sudden attack, the army will have a feeling that it has been like this for a long time, and it becomes a thing to make the opponent's army chaos. Impossible. But if the battle line is set one kilometer away, it is inevitable to be defeated by the quality of the militia. Therefore, the only way to escape is the canyon. After the enemy rushes into the canyon with the momentum of victory, they will be heroic. Attacked by the army of the sword, then the mind will inevitably be shaken.

  As for whether it will cause large-scale chaos, it depends on whether the opposing commander is an idiot.

  Tactics have been applied to this step, William has already counted the tricks, and for this reason he even made himself cannon fodder.

  As far as it can increase the odds by a few points, it is really resigned.

The   Militia Corps has begun to build simple fortifications. According to the latest information on the front line, the Dabron Mercenary Corps will probably arrive here at dawn the day after tomorrow. However, they will definitely not launch an offensive immediately. The army must have a sufficient rest before they can start fighting. Therefore, after the fortifications are built, William estimates that there will be about one day to rest, which is half a day longer than the enemy. time.

   "Uncle Puda, do you still think it's not the lord's fault?" Nock stood beside Puda and said with a cold face.

   "Then you still think it is the lord's fault?" Puda did not answer the question.

"Yes!" Knok looked at Puda without the slightest fear in his eyes, "If our town hadn't been for him, how could we have sacrificed so many people? We had already suffered a heavy loss. The town had no ten. It is impossible to regain vitality in years, and now we have to participate in this battle. What does this have to do with our town? All this is the lord’s business!"

  Speaking of the end, Knok’s voice is already a bit louder.

  Several militiamen from Baige Town looked over here, with some mockery in their eyes, and they made a few chuckles involuntarily. The situation between them and Hongye Town is exactly the opposite, because they have already fought with the Dabloen mercenary group before, and the two sides have long been grudges against each other, so this time the Dabloen mercenaries attacked again, and the purpose was So obviously it is heading towards Baige Town, and the militia of Baige Town will certainly not back down.

  This is the same reason as Harbind’s snake attacked Hongye Town.

Of course Puda also heard the sneer behind him. Although he is from Hongye Town, he has finally understood the importance of this militia group to the territory since he was deeply educated by William the last time he played a little bit of cleverness. He didn't talk about the militiamen in Baige Town. In name, he was the head of this militia. He must be fair and not as partial as before.

  So, Puda frowned slightly, and then sighed: "Your vision is still too short....If Dabron can take down the town of Baige, why can't it take down the town of Hongye?"

   "But after the fight, isn't their loss also heavy?" Knock still refused to admit defeat.

   "Then our losses are not heavy?"

   "That's because we had a battle with Harbind before, if it wasn't the lord..."

"Put away your arrogance and prejudice." Puda shook his head and interrupted Knok's words, "Even if we didn't intervene because of the lord, the conflict between us and Harbind would break out sooner or later. If it weren't for the lord to take action that day , It’s not his guards, do you think we can hold it?... Since Dabron can take down Baige Town, even if he can’t take down Hongye Town for the time being, he can still wait and have the resources of the two towns. How long do you think he can start another war?"

  Nock was silent.

"We should work together with Baige Town now. Don’t forget why the commander-in-chief wants you to compete once a week or even every month. Only when you compete with each other to challenge your limits can you become a truly outstanding team. The army, you must know whether it is Lord Lord, Lord Commander, or even me, expecting that you will not only be a militia regiment, but will become an army with a name.” Puda said in the first half of the sentence It was very loud, as if it was deliberately told to the militiamen in Baige Town, but the latter sentence was whispered, and only Knok could hear: "As long as Baige Town does not fall for a day, Hongye is located further behind. The town will be truly safe. So helping them is helping us."

  Nock did not say anything, but fell into a certain kind of contemplation. He began to wonder if he really did something wrong?

  Seeing the appearance of Nok, Puda did not say anything, but turned and left, began to inspect the construction of the fortifications of the camp, and even personally helped if necessary. After all, he was retired from a regular army, and he also worked hard from the bottom, so he was familiar with these basic fortification construction work, and this also made Puda quickly get the white pigeon. The respect of those militiamen in town.

  Of course, it may have the effect of the awe-inspiring words just now, but who can tell the specific mental changes?

  The construction of fortifications is progressing very smoothly. Although it is just a simple fortification, it can indeed reduce the scope of attack if it can be used as a support. Of course, there will be no fewer traps arranged around this simple camp, but they are also some not very sophisticated traps, but they are more powerful and they are all around the camp, unlike ordinary generals. When fighting a defensive war, always place traps where the enemy might pass. This is naturally another unusual feature of William.

  He almost used the word "location advantage" to the limit, but it is not clear how much "human harmony" he can win. As for the "time", the advantages brought by the rainstorm were also not wasted by William.

  Anything that can be used, William has been squeezed clean.

  As William expected, a mighty army appeared at the end of the horizon at dawn the next day after the fortifications were built.

Although it has long been known from intelligence that the size of this army is about two thousand and one hundred people, but when they saw this army appearing on the horizon, the militiamen of the Puda Militia still felt A pang of anxiety. The continuous army line is hundreds of meters long. If their army line becomes thinner and the general line is completely opened, it will probably be hundreds of meters or more. Not to mention the combat effectiveness, just this lineup would be enough. Enough to make these militiamen who have never seen the world panic.

  Of course, the situation in White Pigeon Town is slightly better than that in Hongye Town. After all, I have seen the formation of the Dabron Mercenary Corps last time. And this time, the scale has not surpassed, so in terms of shock, there is actually no difference, but from the current situation, the armament of the Dabron Mercenary Group seems to have been replaced, and it seems to be more than It was better last time.

  However, the militia's armaments are not without replacement. Originally, according to Sean, every militia must have three pieces of equipment, namely, long spear, leather armor and broad-bladed sword. But this time, because the militia was to be used as a regular army, when William received the information before, he had urgently asked the fat man to purchase new equipment, replacing some of the militia’s equipment with round shields and light swords, and even some parts. People also changed from leather armor to light armor, and at the same time hundreds of archers were added.

At present, in the entire militia, there are about two hundred pikemen wearing light armor. The total number of archers including white-winged mercenaries is 180. They can be used as heavy infantry with steel wings and 80 men. There were five hundred sword militiamen, and the remaining two hundred were temporarily placed in the rear as reserve forces. These two hundred talents are the real elites of the Puda militia. They are basically proficient in all the weapons that the militia can use at present, so when necessary, they take different weapons and serve as different arms into the battle. .

   "How do you think we have the chance to win?" Puda asked quietly, standing beside William.

"It depends on whether the people of the Heroic Sword really intend to help us." William stood in front of the line, staring at the enemy army in front of him. People... This militia group can stabilize the front for an hour, and that’s not bad."

   "Is there only one hour?" Puda sighed softly, "What shall we do in one hour?"

   "Retreat." William said without hesitation, "It's meaningless to hold on. It just increases the number of casualties. Our real battlefield is on the plains. But I am worried about one thing now..."

   "What's the matter?" Puda asked.

   "That is what the other side said is a very experienced army, will they let us withdraw into the canyon so easily?"

   Hearing this, Puda also fell into silence. The battlefield is nearly one mile away from the mouth of the gorge. This distance may not seem like a big deal at first, but in the war, this distance is likely to become a death line. No one can say that it is absolutely possible to escape into the gorge easily. mouth.

  When the sun began to sink, the Dabron mercenary group finally began to act.
