In order to prepare for the upcoming war, the frontline station of the Border Guard Corps, which annihilated the small group of Swabian attackers, was moved from an abandoned market town to near the mill where the 1st Infantry Regiment was stationed. The original market town became a theater stronghold of the Border Guard Corps, and the baggage supplies

Officials from the command camps of the regiment and the Chinese army are still stationed here, and the food supplies transported from Bramon to the war zone are also stored and transferred there.

In the stream next to the abandoned mill, several men who looked like military officers were standing on the bank of the stream, taking off their pants and peeing into the stream. They ignored the fact that downstream was the water point for the army.

One of the officers who took off his pants to pee was Bangda. Due to the reorganization of the Welsh Army, the company level was abolished. The original Fourth Flag Troop of the First Company of the Welsh Army was changed to the Seventh Flag Troop of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the Border Guard Corps.

, Bangeda also naturally became the captain of the flag.

Bangeda lifted up his pants, stuffed the huge thing back into his pants, smiled and said to the Passat who was still dripping water next to him: "Pasat, I heard that you have been promoted to flag captain? You were promoted directly from junior captain to flag captain, you...

What a lucky bastard!"

"Strength! It mainly depends on strength. You didn't see how hard I worked when I killed the Swabians the day before yesterday. I killed more than two Swabians with my own hands, and several others were killed because of my help. But

It's just that I don't want to compete with those new recruits." Passat said without being modest at all.

This trouble-loving frontline veteran left his post without permission when he was on patrol on the Western Front last time and went to the farm to eat roast chicken. After being caught, he received fifteen military sticks, but because he rescued the baggage team in time, he was retained as the squad leader.

military position.

After the Border Guard Corps was established, officers were transferred. Odo felt that it was best to deal with the prisoner soldiers with more prickly heads than the prisoner soldiers. Therefore, the restless Passat was assigned to the Second Infantry Regiment like the bandit-born Rieger.

Promoted to squadron leader.

To break the pot, you have to break the lid. Led by officers like Passat and Rigg, who were half soldiers, half gangsters, half officials, and half bandits, the Second Infantry Regiment also fought in the battle to ambush a small group of Swabian enemies on the Heyuan Peninsula.

After the war, the Passat was finally promoted again due to its "prominent" military merit and became a flag captain.

"Then you bastard are really lucky. I heard that more than 400 of you surrounded and killed sixty or seventy Swabian soldiers. It takes about six or seven people to share one enemy soldier, but you killed two of them alone.

Well, this military exploit is definitely "remarkable"!" Weitz trembled twice and said with a smile.

Weitz, the third flag captain of the 1st Infantry Regiment, is also a veteran squad leader at the same time as the Passat. Now Passat has been promoted to the flag captain of the 2nd Infantry Regiment due to his merits. In name, he has caught up with Wei Zi and Bangda, but considering

Considering the disparity in combat power and pay between the first and second infantry regiments, Passat, a squad leader, can be considered a squadron leader under the Bangdavez banner.

But at least the Passat is satisfied.

"Just watch, at the rate I'm going, I'll be a company captain after this war. If I'm lucky, I might even be promoted to corps adjutant. Haha." Passat suddenly felt confident in his official career.

"Guys, I heard that Bramon brought a few carts of good wine over today. How about we go to Spencer's place later and see if we can steal a few bags and find a place to have a few sips? We guys don't know anything.

At that time, everything was dead, so I had to get drunk quickly." Passat is a dog, and it just started to look for shit after howling like a wild wolf.

Seeing that Passat was seeking death again, Banganda kindly reminded him: "Pasat, I have to remind you, you bastard, this is a battlefield. Now that you have been promoted to flag captain, there are dozens of men under you who hang their heads on your shoulders." Come on, if you think more about your men, if you mess around again, you may end up killing dozens of your men."

Passat suddenly thought, it seemed that it had only happened for a short while, and the alcohol bug in his stomach was suddenly beaten back.

At this time, a rallying horn sounded in the mill camp, and the military flag was raised in front of the military camp of the First Infantry Regiment.

"Weitz, the First Infantry Regiment has assembled, let's go back quickly!" Bangda immediately pulled Weitz and walked towards the camp.

"Hey? Why did you gather together? Didn't you just enter the battlefield early tomorrow morning? Where are you going to gather now that it's almost dark?" Passat's Second Infantry Regiment did not move at all, but the First Infantry Regiment was already nervous. I was very confused.

Bangeda glanced back, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say! Remember my words, don't cause trouble again!" Then he plunged into the camp.

The Chinese army command camp in Yate was heavily guarded. The guards sealed the camp and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

Before the rough sand table, Angus and Odo were still discussing the final details of the two battles with Art.

After wiping out the small Swabian army that had penetrated the rear of the army, Odo spent half a day in the market town doing simple repairs, arranging and distributing weapons and armor, adjusting his officer appointments based on military merit, and then rushed to the mill to join the First Infantry Regiment.

Art had already deployed the army for battle, and gave Angus two final instructions: "Sergeant Major, I led Odo's infantry regiment to resist the enemy's offensive to the death. You must annihilate the troops under Wallon Castle within half a day." The Swabian army must at least drive the Swabians out of the Wallenberg defense area and kill more than half of them, otherwise our plan will definitely not work."

Angus stared at the direction of Wallon Castle in the sand table. According to the estimates of the officers and officials in the Chinese army command camp, if the enemy commander Earl Randy was willing to completely annihilate the garrison in one battle, then he would bring at least more than a thousand people with him. army, so that there is a possibility of victory.

If the situation is really as what Art revealed through prisoner torture and Randy is a cautious commander by nature, he is likely to deploy most of the troops near Wallonburg to deal with Art.

The fundamental reason why Art chose to fight the Swabians was that he grasped that the core target of a normal battle is Wallonburg. Wallonburg is the judge of the victory or defeat of the battle. As long as Wallonburg can be defended, even the Burgundian army Even if they all die in battle, it is also a victory. Of course, Art is different. All of his men will definitely be killed. The victory of the uncle does not represent his victory.

"Sir, after we annihilate the enemy troops under Wallonburg, I will lead the entire army to support you, right? I am not belittling the second regiment, but their combat effectiveness may not be able to stop the Swabians. If they hear the troops outside Wallonburg After being attacked, I will inevitably vent my anger on you, and when the time comes~" Angus could guess the tragic situation of an army composed mainly of prisoner recruits facing an enemy several times their own.

Art refused, "No! The First Army cannot return for reinforcements! After you annihilate or drive away the Swabians, you will immediately take over and stabilize the city defense of Wallonia Castle. First, establish a peripheral guard line near Wallonia Castle to guard against Swaborgs." Secondly, transfer the heavy armored infantry and 150 elites of the 1st Infantry Regiment to Walloon Castle, and transfer the food baggage, weapons and armor from the Swabian camp as well as help defend the city. Pull all the equipment to Wallonia Castle, and burn all the Swabian siege equipment. Third, you personally lead the remaining soldiers of the First Army to build a second line of defense with your back to Wallonia Castle. These three are what you should do Yes, Odo and I are responsible for how we deal with this battlefield. There is nothing else to do, just go and prepare!"

Angus stood in awe, "Yes, sir, I'll wait for you at Wallonburg."

"Brother Odo, I'm waiting for you at Wallonburg!"

Angus turned around and walked out of the camp, and soon the First Legion plunged into the boundless night.

Art and Odo were the only two people left in the camp. Art picked up the wine glass on the wooden table next to the sand table, took a sip of beer, and asked Odo: "Odo, have all the wounded soldiers been moved?"

"All the lightly and seriously injured soldiers are ready and can be transferred to Bramont with the baggage train at any time. According to your military order, the few knights we captured will also be brought to Bramont to be given to Viscount John, with three noble prisoners.

In exchange for fifteen soldiers and five carts of food."

"Sir, I'm afraid we will have to pay a heavy price for this battle, right? I hope Obote and the others can lead reinforcements to the north as soon as possible~"

Art glanced at the south facing the tent and sighed, pointing to the Asakusa in the sand table that represented the dense forest and said to Odo: "This is an era when human life is as cheap as grass. The reason why you and I can survive until now is because we have

A group of people are willing to follow us to die. Without ten years of war and killing, how can we have a hundred years of peace and quiet? Our generation can only use the swords with our hands to forge plows in the fields for the next generation. Maybe your son can enjoy it?

A happy world of war and killing, if you can have a son."

Otto smiled knowingly, "If I can finish this battle alive, I will immediately go back to the valley to find a woman and have a bunch of sons!"

Art also laughed.

Ron, the guard officer, suddenly broke into the camp and said, "Sir! The task force reported immediately. All the Swabians in Wallonborg and surrounding areas were dispatched in advance. A total of 1,400 people marched towards our preset battlefield.

!”

"Odo, immediately assemble the second infantry regiment and march towards the preset battlefield. The Deadpool team, crossbow squad and cavalry are already waiting on the battlefield."

"Ron, the military law team and the bodyguard team also serve as the battle supervisory team. From now on, you will stay behind and enforce the military law on the battlefield!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

Two miles northeast of the abandoned mill, an army was arrayed in a narrow gap between two dense forests in the gentle hilly area of ​​the plain.

At the front of the gap are seventy or eighty Deadpool soldiers wearing armor and holding round shields, swords, axes, hammers and spears. They are all the braver among the prisoner soldiers, and their courage is much stronger in comparison. Although their combat experience and combat strength

I can’t take action yet, but it’s still okay to stand at the head of the team and control the scene;

Behind the Deadpool team are six infantry flag teams. They are arranged in five columns, forming a phalanx of thirty rows and ten people in depth. After the battle to lure and annihilate a small group of Swabian enemy troops, the weapons and weapons in the hands of these infantrymen

The armor on their bodies has been improved. Most people have at least one piece of cotton armor, and they also have iron-winged short spears or sharp single-edged daggers in their hands. A few warriors like the prisoner recruit Hans also have a set of iron plate armor and battle axes.

With the addition of a round shield, the weaponry can be considered very sophisticated.

There is an infantry flag team on each edge of the dense forest on both wings of the infantry phalanx. Their main role is to guard against enemy troops rushing out of the dense forest and to serve as a reserve force when the phalanx needs to fill gaps;

Behind the gap are about thirty crossbowmen from the legion's crossbow team. According to convention, the crossbowmen should be placed in the front for a few rounds before moving to the rear, but since they are placed directly behind, there must be a reason for them to be placed behind;

Behind the crossbow team is a special group of people. They are a supervising team composed of the Baron Guards and the Military Law Team. Their role is very simple - to kill on the spot low-level officers and soldiers who retreat without permission or cower.

.

As for the dense forest on both sides of the gap, as far as the eye can see, there is no human figure, except for the miscellaneous trees and shrubs, it is empty.

On the other side, the appearance of the Swabian army can be understood to be very large.

A total of more than 1,400 people were mobilized to this dense forest and hilly area from the Wallonborg battlefield where the fierce fighting was taking place and the Gennebourg battlefield where the fighting had ceased. They were preparing for a war that would determine the fate of the border.

The Swabian army is very poorly organized. In other words, the composition of the Swabian army is very complex. A team of more than 1,400 people can see more than 20 independent heraldic flags. In other words, this army

The Waban army was assembled from more than two dozen forces.

This is a normal thing. Everyone rushes to a battlefield with dozens, one or two hundred, or at most three to five hundred people from various places. A battle involving thousands of people is rarely initiated by one lord, so like

An army like Ater is an anomaly in this era.

Flags of various colors fluttered on the gentle slope east of the gap in the dense forest. Soldiers wearing various armors were roughly arranged in three to five rows according to the heraldic flags of their respective lords.

The two teams were separated by more than five hundred steps, and the cavalry from both sides cruised back and forth between the two military formations. From time to time they would come into contact and fight, but the driving effect was greater than the killing effect, so there were no casualties on either side.

In the middle of the two teams, the commanders of both sides were on horseback making final pre-war negotiations. This was just a matter of etiquette. Art originally didn't want to play these false courtesies, but in order to delay as much time as possible, he still accompanied the Swabian army.

A Viscount who was sent to lead the army boasted for a long time.

The Swabian Viscount, who was leading the army, noticed that Art was stalling for time, so he stopped talking. The two teams that were talking before the war turned their horses and returned to their respective military formations.
