Chapter 197

One day, there has just been a heavy rain.

But the earth absorbs all the water falling to the ground like a long drought and dew. If the troops had not just marched in the rainstorm, no one would believe that it was a sign that it had just rained.

Thanks to the heavy rain, the trip of the dabron mercenary regiment was delayed by one day.

But the young people of the Puda people's corps have no such good luck. They braved the heavy rain and continued to move forward. At the end of the storm, they just arrived at the battle site set by William - one kilometer in front of the canyon.

William did not place the battle site in the canyon in order to weaken the enemy's will from faith.

The terrain like Canyon is definitely a good place for ambush. If even the opponent knows this result, there will be a defense line from the will. Therefore, once there is a sudden attack, the army will have a feeling that it has been so long ago. It is impossible to make the opponent's army chaotic. However, if the front line is set one kilometer away and defeated with the quality of the people's corps, it is inevitable. Therefore, the only way to escape is the canyon. After the enemy rushes into the canyon with the momentum of victory and is attacked by the subdued army of the heroic sword, his mind will be shaken.

As for whether it will cause large-scale chaos, it depends on whether the other party's commander is a fool.

When the tactics were applied to this step, William had done his best, so he didn't even hesitate to let himself be cannon fodder.

As for increasing the odds, it's really resigned to fate.

The militia has begun to build simple fortifications. According to the latest information from the front line, the dabron mercenary regiment will arrive here at dawn the day after tomorrow. However, they will certainly not attack immediately. The army must have a full rest before fighting. Therefore, after the fortifications are built, William estimates that there will be a day to rest, half a day longer than the enemy.

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

"Do you still think it's the Lord's fault?" Puda did not answer the question.

"Yes!" Nock looked at Puda with no fear in his eyes. "If he hadn't come to our town, how could he sacrifice so many people? We have already suffered heavy losses. It is impossible for the town to recover without ten years. Now we have to participate in this war. What does this have to do with our town? All this is the Lord's business! "

At last, nock's voice was a little louder.

Several white pigeon town militia looked at this side, their eyes showed some ridicule, and involuntarily made several hiss. The situation between them and Hongye town is just the opposite, because they had fought a battle with the dabron mercenary regiment before, and the two sides had long had resentment against each other, so this time the dabron mercenary attacked again, and the purpose was so obvious to attack the white dove Town, of course, the militia in the white dove town would not shrink back.

This is the same reason that the snake of habinder attacked Hongye town.

Of course, Puda also heard the laughter behind him. Although he is from Hongye Town, he has finally understood the importance of the militia group to the territory since William taught him a little cleverness last time. Therefore, he did not say anything about the militia in white dove town. Nominally, he is the head of the people's army group. He must be fair, And not as selfish as before.

Therefore, Puda frowned slightly, and then sighed: "your vision is still too short If dabron can beat pigeon Town, why can't he beat red leaf town? "

"But didn't they lose a lot after the fight?" Nock still refuses to admit defeat.

"Then won't our losses be heavy?"

"That's because we had a war with habinder before, if it weren't for the Lord..."

"Put away your pride and prejudice." Puda shook his head and interrupted nock's words. "Even if we don't get involved because of the Lord, the contradiction between us and habinder will break out sooner or later. If the Lord didn't make a move that day and his escort wasn't there, do you think we could hold it Now that dabron can defeat pigeon Town, even if he can't defeat Hongye town for the time being, he can also wait. With the resources of two towns, how long do you think he can start another war? "

Nock was silent.

"We should work together with pigeon town now. Don't forget the reason why the commander wants you to have a competition every week or even every month. Only by competing with each other and challenging your limits can you become a really excellent army. You know, whether it's the Lord, the commander, or even me, We all hope that you are not just a civilian corps, but can become an army named on the title. " The first half of Puda's words were very loud, as if he was deliberately telling the militia in white dove Town, but the second half was whispered, and only nock could hear: "as long as white dove town is not occupied all day, Hongye town further behind will be really safe. So helping them is helping us. "

Nock didn't say anything, but fell into some kind of meditation. He began to think whether he really did something wrong?

Seeing nock's appearance, Puda didn't say anything, but turned away and began to patrol the fortification construction of the camp. If necessary, he even helped himself. After all, he came back from a regular army and worked hard from the bottom. Therefore, he is also very familiar with the construction of basic fortifications, which soon made Puda respected by the militia in Baige town.

Of course, it may have the effect of the righteous words just now, but who can tell the specific changes in mind?

The construction of fortifications is progressing very smoothly. Although it is only a simple fortification, if it can be used as a basis, it can indeed reduce the scope of attack. Of course, there are many traps around this simple camp, but they are not very exquisite traps, but there are a lot of victories, and they are all around the camp. Unlike ordinary generals in defensive war, they always lay traps where the enemy may pass by. This is naturally an unusual feature of William.

He almost played the word "geographical advantage" to the limit, but no one knows how much "human harmony" he can win. As for the "timing", the advantages brought by the rainstorm were also not wasted by William.

William has squeezed all that can be used.

As William had expected, a mighty army appeared at the end of the horizon at dawn the next day after the fortification was built.

Although it has long been known from intelligence that the size of this army is about 2100 people, the militia of Puda people's army still felt uneasy when they saw this army on the other side of the horizon. The continuous military line is hundreds of meters long. If their military array becomes thinner and the general line is completely opened, it may have to be more than hundreds of meters. Regardless of the combat effectiveness, such an array alone is enough to panic these militia who have not seen anything in the world.

Of course, the situation of white dove town is slightly better than that of red leaf town. After all, I have seen the military array of dabron mercenary regiment last time. This time, the scale has not been surpassed, so there is no difference in shock. However, from the current situation, the armaments of the dabron mercenary regiment seem to have been replaced, which seems to be better than the last time.

However, the militia's armaments have not been replaced. According to Sean's meaning, each militia must have three pieces of equipment, namely, spear, leather armor and wide blade sword. But this time, because he wanted to use the militia as a regular army, when William received the information, he had urgently asked the fat man to purchase new equipment, replaced some militia equipment with round shields and light swords, and even some people changed from leather armor to light armor, with hundreds of archers.

At present, in the whole militia regiment, there are about 200 long spearmen wearing light armor, 180 archers including white wing mercenaries, 80 steel wings that can be used as heavy infantry, 500 militia with round shields and light swords, and the remaining 200 are temporarily placed in the rear as reserve forces. These 200 people are the real elite of the Puda militia. They are basically proficient in all the weapons that the militia can use at present. Therefore, when necessary, they take different weapons and serve as different arms to fight.

"What do you think of our chances?" Puda stood beside William and asked softly.

"It depends on whether the brave sword really intends to help us." William stood in front of the array and looked at the enemy in front, "that's really a very angry army. I don't know how many thousands of people have been slaughtered It's good if this people's corps can hold the front for an hour. "

"Only an hour?" Puda sighed, "what shall we do in an hour?"

"Retreat." William said without hesitation, "it's meaningless to hold on. It's just to increase the number of casualties. Our real battlefield is on the side of Hirano. But I'm worried about one thing now... "

"What's up?" Asked Puda.

"That's what the other party said. It's a very sophisticated army. Will they let us withdraw into the canyon so easily?"

Hearing this, Puda also fell into silence. The battlefield is a mile away from the canyon mouth. At first, this distance seems to be nothing, but in the war, this distance is likely to become a death line. No one can say that it can easily escape into the canyon mouth.

When the sun began to set, the dabron mercenary Corps finally began to act（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
