Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight seeking a decisive battle
In the northern part of Lombardy, a gentle hilly area connecting the mountainous areas and the plains.
In the past, when soldiers and horses passed by, the market town was much quieter, although more troops were gathered here now.
A week ago, the "Northern Expedition Army" led by Count Wadbury was stationed here, and they built the military camp in front of them.
The military camp surrounded by logs and pinnacle fences can allow 1,500 people to set up tents, but now more than 200 military tents have been laid neatly in the barracks, and troops have also been stationed in two leisure fields outside the market town.
These troops were roughly assigned a battalion according to their organizational ownership.
The three companies stationed in the market camp were the Southern Governor's garrison under the Wells Army. Antayas, Felix and Tinets County soldiers commander Wall were the commanders of the three companies. Among them, the company of Felix, the Baron Sapburg, had the strongest combat power, with 250 elite infantry and fifty light and heavy cavalry, and Baron Antayas was now strong and powerful. There were 180 light armor infantry and more than 20 cavalry under his command, many of which were elite guards drawn from the caravans under his name. The Tignes County soldiers were relatively far apart. The northern part of the Wells Province is still relatively stable. The Tignes County soldiers were mainly responsible for the security of the city and surrounding areas, so there were only 150 light infantry holding spears and wrapped in leather armor. These equipment was almost the same as the regular peasant soldiers of the Wells Army garrison.
On the left side of the market town, there were friendly troops from Provence stationed in the open space more than 500 steps apart. Except for a dozen officers and a whistle cavalry of less than twenty people, the rest were all infantry. But Berryon did the latter. It was originally agreed that the weapons and armor of these 800 soldiers would be supplied by the Wells Legion, but when the army arrived at Beiguan, they were all armed with weapons, and even brought ten days of extra food and supplies. This made Yater very moved when he was surprised.
The commander of the army that had experienced fierce fighting with the Lombards was Baron Nadord, a close confidant of Berryon. Yat organized them into the Second Division of the Wells Legion and gave them the same military salary as the First Division.
Less than a hundred steps on the other side of the market town, the elite troops from Besanson were stationed across a shallow stream. Among them were one hundred and fifty half-armored infantry with heavy armor, heavy soldiers and huge shields, and there were also thirty sharpshooters and twenty cavalrymen. A few of this army were private soldiers brought by David from the territory of the province of Jonah.
For David, Yat had an inexplicable feeling.
David and Yat were close friends. When they fought in Provence, they took on a deep relationship. After that, they fought in Swaben and West Vaberna, and David had both side by side with Yat.
But now he is on behalf of the palace and goes south to assist in the war.
David was also a little embarrassed, and he didn't need to hide his identity as a surveillance officer. From the chief vice-president of the Wells Legion, Odo and Angus, to the small grain warehouse officers in the logistics department, they all kept the most polite distance from the army under his command.
Originally, Yat planned to invite the Imperial Guards to station in the military camp in the town, but David politely declined this kindness.
After a few refusals, Yat did not force her to form the court guards led by David into the company directly under the Wells Legion, and was under the direct command of Yat.
The military camps were distributed in triangles, and this arrangement was obviously to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp.
For an era when one or two hundred people can be considered a battle, two thousand soldiers gathered here, and the scene was really spectacular.
If it were an ordinary army, this time there would be a lot of people, cattle and horses were rampant, and feces were everywhere. Vendors, craftsmen, prostitutes, and thieves were walking through it, but at this time, it was neat and very quiet.
Let me add that I have been using the book-chasing app recently, which is cached to read books, and read offline!
Needless to say, the Southern Garage Legion is part of the Welles Legion, and strict military discipline is the basic skill; the Provence army will naturally not promote it too much, and Nadord intends to learn from the Welles Legion style and issued a quiet order; the palace guards are the most unaccustomed to it, and they are used to the days of spending time in Besanson on weekdays, but suddenly there is no juggler in the camp, which is really boring, but the troops on both sides do not speak out, so they naturally dare not do anything.
In the barracks of the market town, in a military tent with four spires, the secretary-general of the Central Army and the staff of the Staff of the Wells Legion. The Baron Bob, the leader of the Wells Army, is analyzing the military deployment to a group of officers.
After following the army for many years, Bob, the baron of the lost border in Jonah Province, who was originally fat and fat, is now getting thinner, but he is more energetic.
"...Now, Odo, Angus and Kazak, led the First Division and the Central Army's direct crossbow, and the heavy armored company stationed three castles." The thin stick in Bob's hand pointed to the three castles on the map, and they also formed a triangular formation, guarding the market town outside the mountain pass where the army was stationed.
"According to yesterday's military situation, the so-called guardian army in Lombardy had gathered near the city of Ravati in the south, and would go north to fight with us soon."
"According to the deployment of the Legion Commander, we do not intend to have a long-term stalemate with the enemy, so we must concentrate our efforts to fight the so-called defending army head-on."
"Therefore, the First Division of the Main Battle of the Wells Legion will immediately gather and go south to fight with the Second Division and the direct teams of the Central Army."
"So, the task of defending the rear stronghold is left to the Southern Xinjiang garrison garrison Sap Company, Andermatt Company and Tignets Company. You will go into three castles to guard. One is to prevent the enemy from raiding the rear, and the other is to suppress the riots in the occupied land."
"The ten affairs officers selected by the Government have arrived. They will be sent to the occupied areas one after another to help you stabilize the local situation..."
............
At the southern end of the Lampy Hill area of Lombardy, on a low mound, Att and more than thirty cavalrymen stopped and looked at the vast plains in the south.
"The enemy has assembled nearly 5,000 troops this time, with more than 500 cavalry. In addition, there are also elite lords and private soldiers among the infantry. In addition, the southern garrison troops that defend several castles, we can only face the enemy with two thousand troops, and most of them are plains in the south, which is really unfavorable for us." Bishop of the Diocese of Wells Province and the Advisor of the Wells Legion, Robert, has been fighting with the army for many years, and has been a little bit military.
Att pulled the reins and let the horse face the south. "I have done my best to go south this time. If I can't fight and seek a quick battle, I will be dragged down."
"The territory occupied some time ago was the relatively barren hilly land of Lombardy, which could not provide the army with money and supplies for long-term combat."
"Don't worry, although I dare not threaten to defeat all the Lombards, the throng of five thousand people is still not afraid."
