The 5977th Chapter War Weapon (1)
"Get up, boys. Don't be lazy, get ready for me, I'm going to have a big fight later. Lord Lance wants to see our performance. If I find out who is a coward, I will use This thing stabbed his ass!" Hilo yelled in the camp, and waved the well-made long sword in his hand for emphasis.
Following the general's order, the officers at the next level quickly mobilized their soldiers and asked them to gather in armor as quickly as possible. So when the sun was high in the sky, this army drove out of the camp and pressed towards the Unicorn Legion's defense line. On this day, there was a fierce battle between the two armies. Under Hilo's wild and bold command style, the wolf infantry was divided into several fronts, alternately attacking the Unicorn Army's defense line. In the meantime, don't forget to intersperse the blood wolf knight to harass, and the assist can be punched through.
Under such a fierce offensive, the Unicorn Legion's defenses were repeatedly breached. But this army was cultivated by Daniel with all his heart. Although it is not as good as before, the quality of the soldiers is still there, and the military background cannot be underestimated. Under the command of the new head of the regiment, the broken line of defense kept repeating the movement of closing and tightening. Increase the density of soldiers on the defense line as much as possible to resist attacks from the enemy.
Seeing this situation, Hilo rushed off the field for a while. However, after opening a gap in the defense line, the unicorn soldiers risked their lives to attack him, and he had no choice but to retreat. In the end, the Unicorn's line of defense was barely kept, but suffered heavy casualties. Back at the camp, Hilo was yelled at by Lance, but he didn't refute, just kept silent. He has his own considerations. It is true that it is not impossible to defeat the unicorn, but in that case, the army he brought will inevitably suffer more than expected battle losses.
The military level of the Unicorn Legion and the resilience of the soldiers made him respect this army. At the same time, I also know that if we let go and attack violently, we can win in the end, but it can only be a miserable victory. No general would choose such a tactic if he had to. Lance can ignore the casualties of soldiers, but Shiloh can't. He has always been a person who cherishes his wings. Even because of this, he had a bad reputation under Reckerd's command, and was often criticized for being too conservative.
It was night, and the Unicorn Legion boldly attacked the camp. Hilo woke up from his sleep and quickly organized a counterattack. But the opponent immediately flew away after a blow, and when Hilo sent out pursuers, the sound of cannons suddenly sounded under the night. The artillery bombardment forced the pursuers back. Before Hilo could catch his breath, another Unicorn team attacked from another direction. Under the constant harassment from the other side, none of Hilo's soldiers slept soundly that night. Accompanied by the sound of horseshoes and gunfire, Hilo finally saw Dongfang turning pale, while the bags under the general's eyes turned dark after a busy night.
This day is still full of battles, but today the Unicorn Legion has adopted a strategy of retreating while fighting, so that the battle line continues to stretch. In the end, Hilo, who felt too deep, gave the order to withdraw troops, and was naturally criticized by Lance again. Ke Lance didn't know, but fortunately Hilo withdrew his troops, otherwise if he was attracted by the unicorn army to go deeper, he would step into the opponent's trap. According to the plan of the new head of the Unicorn, he originally planned to lure Hilo's army away from the camp, and then use an ambush to burn the opponent's supplies, so as to force them to retreat.
It's a pity that Hilo is cautious enough, but Lance doesn't know how to appreciate that's all.
After two days of stalemate, on the morning of the third day, the sentry sent by Hilo soon discovered that an unfamiliar army had joined the Unicorn Legion. The flag of that army was very similar to theirs, with a black-based battle flag depicting a snow-white wolf's head. The sentinel quickly reported the news. Hearing the news, Hilo knew that it was Allen's army.
"Look, look!" In the main tent, Lance roared: "General Shiloh, if you'd put in more effort on the first day, we'd already be sitting in the Unicorn Castle drinking. But now Well, let the other side's reinforcements arrive smoothly. Now that the number of troops on the other side has surpassed ours, I would like to ask, how do you plan to fight this battle?"
Facing Lance's roar, Hilo didn't change his face, and said calmly: "Lord Lance, the two armies are facing each other. Unless there is a big difference, the number is not the main factor that determines the outcome of a war. The arrival of the other side's reinforcements is also fine." , Have you forgotten, Earl Reckerd said before we set off that our main purpose this time is not really to capture the Unicorn collar, on the contrary, finding out the strength of that knight is a more important goal. And now, the opportunity has come.”
"Are you an idiot? There's no reason why you don't grasp the opportunity when it's in front of you. Even if you want to find out the opponent's background, you can get enough of it after you take down the unicorn castle."
"But at that time, it is guaranteed that the opponent thinks that there is no need for support and chooses to withdraw." Hilo paused, and then said: "Also, even if we attack with all our strength on the first day, even if we take down the unicorn leader , our side will also suffer heavy losses. If the enemy's reinforcements arrive at this time, we will suffer a fatal blow."
"Lord Lance, please believe that everything I do is for you and Earl Reckerd."
"It's better to be like this, then let me appreciate General Hilo's performance today." Lance sneered and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Hilo bowed deeply, and didn't straighten up until Lance left the tent for a long time. A trace of gloom appeared on the general's face, he sighed softly, and called the messenger: "Have someone get the Yanlong rifle ready, today we are going to get serious."
This time, Reckerd specially transferred a batch of newly purchased Yanlong rifles out of a hundred, and distributed them to Xi Luo for him to carry with the army. The Yanlong Rifle can be regarded as a relatively new type of musket in the territory of the Balegon Empire. It is famous for its range, accuracy and power, leaving other types of muskets far behind. If he hadn't heard that the firepower of Alan's army was surprisingly fierce, Reckerd would not have been willing to use this batch of Yanlong rifles.
While the guns were being withdrawn from the warehouse and handed over to the musketeers, Shiloh also came outside the camp and looked towards the opposing camp with a single-lens telescope. It can be seen that on the other side of the battlefield, the enemy's camp flag has been replaced with a white wolf battle flag on a black background. Hilo's heart moved, and he looked in another direction, only to see that the unicorn army was withdrawing. This surprised Hilo. Obviously, the opposing commander wanted to fight with the strength of his own army, and he didn't bother to borrow the strength of the Unicorn Legion.
This is very arrogant, almost stupid. However, after studying the battles of Allen, Hilo learned from another aspect that the baron's tactical style sometimes wins with surprise soldiers, but he will not make such low-level mistakes. He remembered that Graal mentioned the day before yesterday that the baron was not currently in the army, which meant that the commander of the enemy army was someone else. If this is the case, it is also possible that the tactical style will become different.
"Perhaps, it's an opportunity." Hilo said softly.
