Chapter 1931 The war begins
Lancelot thought, and then he linked to the scouts on the front line through a spiritual link.
"Let me see the enemy's layout again."
He ordered.
The scout faithfully carried out his orders.
Four soldiers with eagle eyes, divided into four angles, first showed him the enemy camp on the east bank of the Rotes River.
At this time the enemy was camped quite far away from the river bank.
It seems that there are experienced commanders among them, who at least know not to camp directly near the river bank. Although it is convenient to get water, once a flood occurs, it will immediately lead to a collapse.
The number of troops on the east route was slightly smaller, about 80,000, while that on the west route was 120,000.
The eighty thousand people were divided into dozens of camps, with about a thousand people in each camp.
The fence was relatively shallow, the trench was not dug, and the horses were only placed at the door...
There were not many patrolling knights, only patrolling within five miles of the surrounding area.
There are various signs that the other party does not think that they dare to attack them.
They numbered 80,000 people along the way, and I only had 10,000 people in total.
Ten thousand people want to sneak attack 80,000 people. If one person fails, they will be stuck, and then the whole army will be annihilated.
Even if all 10,000 people are cavalry, it won't work. The opponent has at least a thousand knights, who can burst out fighting spirit and have strong short-range explosive power.
The knights rushed up to hold them back, and the infantry outflanked them on the left and right. With a classic tactic, the attackers would be completely wiped out.
But Lancelot saw an opportunity.
Because this approach can only be used against ordinary armies, these arrogant nobles always have an inexplicable sense of superiority before the guillotine falls.
Lancelot is a knight. Although he is also a noble class, a knight without a fiefdom is just a high-level mercenary. He can only make the lords polite.
He was well aware of the arrogance of nobles.
Now is the time to make them pay.
After being beaten so many times, I still don’t have a long memory. I probably always feel that I was caught off guard. When they gather together, I am no longer their opponent.
In this case, I will crush them with force.
Yes, he neither adopted counselor A’s advice nor counselor B’s.
Because although the two counselors were very resourceful, they did not understand the noble creature.
You defeated them with sneak attacks and tactics. They surrendered on the surface, but deep down they were not loyal and would still find ways to cause trouble.
Only by crushing him head-on and letting even the stupidest minds understand the huge gap between the two sides, will they kneel down and kiss his boots.
So Lancelot said: "No, I will use the standard tactics of knights to let them understand that nobility has become a thing of the past!"
Counselors A and B, Looking at each other, there was no persuasion.
Because they all know in their hearts how strong the fighting power of these ten thousand people is!

“Hahaha, that fool, I thought he wanted to play some more tricks to lure the enemy deeper, but I didn’t expect that he had some self-knowledge and knew that he could not repeat his old tricks. I will give him a decent ransom!" Marquis Atkins looked at the enemy troops not far away and said with a proud smile.
He is the commander of the Eastern Alliance Army with outstanding achievements. He has fought against the Kingdom of Lotus many times and won
“Yes, this country bumpkin, the second son of a shoemaker, really thinks that With the power of the devil, can we fight against our sacred bloodline?" An earl next to him echoed, "We will make him understand what war is!"
Atkins nodded and began deploying his team.
"Baron Crompton, lead your two hundred cavalry, to scout the enemy's left wing. Count Jefferson, lead your four hundred cavalry, to scout the enemy's right wing..."
"Elbert, lead the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th infantry brigades, advance to three miles to form a square formation, and then attack the enemy. Remember to use bows and arrows."
"Carol, Lead the first and third cavalry detachments to outflank the opponent's left wing."
"Langley, lead the second and fourth cavalry detachments to outflank the opponent's right wing."
"I lead the 6th, 7th, and 8th infantry brigades, and the 5th and 6th cavalry detachments as reserve teams to support you."
There are 80,000 people on the East Road, but the actual combat personnel are only 30,000. Very good, we still need to advance by the river, otherwise we can only have more than 10,000 soldiers. The reality is so outrageous, so you can always see three thousand to one hundred thousand. That is because there are at most two to thirty thousand combatants in one hundred thousand.
There are 8,000 cavalry and 22,000 infantry.
The Lancelot he faced was 5,000 card players + auxiliary troops + some logistics personnel.
Because it was a defensive operation and supplies were convenient from the inside, there were not many logistics personnel, mainly some medical soldiers, who were responsible for taking injured card players to the rear in time to wait for recovery.
Looking carefully, the gap between the two sides is not too big.
The troop strength difference is only about 4 times.
But the reason why Marquis Atkins was confident was that he had already released his eagle and notified the Western Route Army to outflank them from upstream and downstream.
The West Route Army has 120,000 soldiers and 40,000 combat troops. In this way, it is 70,000 people versus 7,000 people, a ten times difference in strength, and we are still fighting in a wild encounter.
There are more than 2,000 knights on his side alone, and he can't think of a reason why his side lost.
And how many people did Lancelot have?
What card player?
Just a poor guy with some weird skills!
They have many knights, and their fighting spirit is also a terrifying force!
A small number of knights cannot exert its power, but more than a thousand knights will definitely let the poor devils know that the price of turning over is to be burned into dried fish!
While Atkins was thinking, the huge team began to operate slowly.
The officers whipped the cunning soldiers, and the supervising team drew out their long knives and began to intimidate the lagging soldiers from behind.
If anyone tries to escape, his head will be chopped off by the cavalry.
This is a common thing in any battle.
Only if those cowards understand that running away will lead to faster death, will they move forward bravely!
There is no military law team, no pursuers, and the cowards will not exert their strength unless they are placed in a desperate situation where they can only move forward.
Under the intimidation of the military law team, the team began to approach Atkins' preset location.
"The archers came out of the queue, one hundred steps forward, ready to shoot!"
3500 longbowmen walked out of the queue and planted long arrows on the grass.
They took off the long bows on their backs, set up arrows, and got ready to shoot.
"Get ready..." When Elbert was about to shout the word salvo, a voice suddenly came from the opposite side.
“Forget the Great Law!”
Ten card players, holding a green scepter, used their lit spell skills towards the archers here.
From Invincible Heroes, its function is to abolish the long-range ability of long-range troops. It is worse than blindness, because the latter directly affects the entire army, while the Forgetting Dafa depends on the level. Low levels can only affect a part of the army. Arms.
The advantage is that it lasts a long time.
And if ten people use it at the same time, more people will be covered.
“Solley!”
Elbert issued the order, and then he was horrified to find that less than one-tenth of the longbowmen shot arrows!
The sparse arrows did not have the majesty of a salvo at all.
The opponent raised his shield and easily blocked these arrows.
Then he saw that the longbowmen looked like they were drunk, their eyes were confused, and they seemed not to know how to draw the bow!
"It is indeed the devil!" Elbert reacted quickly, and he quickly ordered the messenger to pass the message back.
Then he issued an order, "The archers retreat, the spearmen move forward, and the shield-bearers guard."
The spearmen are very fragile, and a hail of arrows can kill them Collapse, so you must follow the shield guard.
Some people think that the spear array is invincible. If it were to be invincible, the military god Qi Jiguang would not go to great lengths to mix many types of soldiers together, because the more mixed the types of soldiers, the higher their adaptability.
