Chapter 300：

In the Fougère region in the south, the counter-rebellion army led by Princess Catherine of the Kingdom of Aldo confronts the rebel army of Greedy Wolf Giles here.

The main force of the kingdom's army arrived at Thorn Fortress in March and joined the defenders standing there. Catherine immediately launched an attack on the army under the command of the rebel general Samar, and won successive victories by virtue of her numerical advantage.

The situation in the Thorn Fortress area was reversed, and the army of the kingdom in turn surrounded the rebels in Samar.

At the critical moment, Scott and other army wizards played a role again. They organized a death squad with enchantments and drugs, and fought hard to kill the weak point of the king's army.

After losing about one-fifth of his troops, Samar led the army to retreat to the Fougère area, joined forces with the main force of the rebel army going north to support them, and blocked the Kingdom's army from continuing to go south.

The Grand Duke Giles has wiped out all the forces that do not obey him in the south, and can finally turn his attention to the north. The new 81 Chinese website updates the fastest mobile terminal: https:/

The size of the royal army is about 50,000, and the rebel army has more than 40,000. Although the difference is not very big, the weapons and equipment of the royal army are better than those of the opponent, especially the troops directly under the royal family. Almost everyone wears armor. The number of knights in the king's army is much more than that of the rebels.

However, judging from the actual results of the battle, the combat effectiveness of the rebel army was evenly matched with that of the king's army.

From the perspective of many battlefield veterans under the princess, many unreasonable things happened to the rebels, which are reflected in the following aspects:

Super scouting ability, when one's own troops enter the battlefield, if there are no shelters such as trees, they will always be detected by the opponent first and the battle formation will be arranged in advance.

Incredible protection ability, the protection power of a wallet is comparable to metal armor, do the rebels have mastered super advanced manufacturing technology?

Unusual fighting fanaticism, that is really fanaticism, it is completely desperate to fight, the paladins in the Holy See can't do this with the blessing of faith. Fortunately, these lunatics have extremely poor discipline. They don't know what cooperation is, they only know how to charge and fight. Could it be the barbarian soldiers recruited by Giles? These bloodthirsty zealots have been observed to go to war with no distinction between friend and foe.

The last one that is more difficult to deal with is the longbow. There are a large number of longbowmen serving in Giles' army. After the battle began, arrows rained down, making the king's army miserable.

The only thing that the kingdom's army can have an overwhelming advantage over the rebels is the cavalry, more precisely the cavalry.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

In addition to the knights directly under the royal family, there are also a large number of noble children from the northern territories. Thanks to their good family background, they have practiced martial arts since childhood, are proficient in bows and horses, and have their own weapons and armor. A powerful cavalry team. Since the outbreak of the southern rebellion, countless aristocratic knights eager to get ahead have joined Catherine's command. They have accumulated fame and wealth for themselves with lance and sword.

Of course, it would be even better if he could capture the heart of Her Royal Highness while gaining fame.

Before June, the two sides launched a tug-of-war in the Fougères area. Today I attack and you defend, and tomorrow I defend you to attack. After entering June, the rainfall in the south increased sharply, and the number of fightings also decreased greatly.

Fortaleza is a transportation hub city in the Fougères region, where Catherine set up her headquarters.

Today is another rainy day, and the whole city is shrouded in continuous drizzle.

Catherine had just finished her dinner with the generals. When everyone dispersed, several high-ranking officers in the army voluntarily stayed behind. According to the usual practice, if there is no special arrangement, then it will be time for them to discuss the war situation with the princess.

The crowd followed Catherine out of the hall to a smaller room.

The most important topic, of course, is the looming Giles Rebellion. From the beginning of the offensive and defensive battle of Thorn Fortress, the senior officials of the Kingdom's army noticed many strange things in the rebel army. After contacting the main force of Giles, they discovered that these unusual things directly affected the success or failure of the war.

"Maybe there really is some kind of mysterious power helping Giles."

Duke Dodge spread his hands helplessly.

Catherine frowned. She couldn't help but think of the fire that reduced the grain warehouse in the capital to ashes last year. The information she found at that time was also inexplicable.

And according to the captives' confession, there is indeed a mysterious person in Giles' army, called a "clergyman", who can pray to the gods so that the soldiers can gain extraordinary power.

This can't help but remind people of the legendary wizard.

The voices of the participants were whispering, and a strange atmosphere spread in the meeting room. Although rationality told them not to think wildly, everyone grew up listening to all kinds of weird talks about wizards.

At the meeting, Klein encouraged everyone present: "So far, I haven't encountered any unsolvable problems. No matter how crazy the enemy soldiers fight, they will be stabbed to death with swords and guns. No matter how high their protection is, they can't stop blunt weapons." As long as we don't mess up our positions and use reasonable tactics, we can defeat them by virtue of our superiority in numbers. The only thing that is more difficult to deal with is the longbowman. Giles has obviously planned the rebellion for a long time. A large number of longbowmen can be used directly on the battlefield as soon as the war breaks out."

This is indeed a head-scratching problem. In the rainy environment in the south, the power of the cavalry is very limited on the soft ground. When the knights are struggling to move forward in the mud, the longbowmen can shoot arrows unscrupulously to harvest life. While everyone was talking about it, the female knight Ao Feina made a suggestion: the lords of the Northwest Gulf used two unheard-of powerful weapons in the dispute - the Thunder Hammer and the Fire Crossbow, Among them, the Thunder Hammer is powerful and can kill and injure the enemy from a mile away. It sounds like the nemesis of longbowmen. Can you buy a large amount of this weapon in the name of the kingdom's army to restrain the longbowmen of the rebel army.

Ofina had been raising food and recruiting troops for the southward army in the royal capital before. At the same time, she was entrusted by Catherine to monitor the situation in the Northwest Gulf—mainly to protect her sister who ran away from home, so she has a better understanding of certain situations in the Northwest Gulf. .

For Ofina's suggestion, most people shook their heads. Do the unseen country lords in the Northwest Gulf understand what war is? When recovering Jingyao, the northwestern lords also led the army to participate. Blind arrogance, poor equipment, and lax discipline are their common images.

Of course, there are also some good generals and troops among them, such as Baron Andrew from Bairding and Viscount Jais from Emden. Their military literacy and troops under their command are very good. Baron Andrew's outstanding performance has also been commended by His Royal Highness Catherine. But we can't take one example as common. They can be said to be rare among the Northwest lords, and the army under their command can only be said to be short and capable.

In the minds of most of the high-ranking members of the Kingdom's army, the [Ustor War] that broke out in the Northwest Gulf at the beginning of the year was nothing more than a group of peasants fighting with weapons. Maybe whoever had a brainstorm invented a few weird weapons, killed a few more people, and then was blown into a miraculous and invincible.
