Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 130 Allied Forces
Stannis hadn't expected the next battle to come so soon, and for less noble reasons.

In fact, the lords don't care about the fleeing of the border people, because they only care about whether the rural areas in the core area are still firmly in their hands, which is the basic basis for their conscription and taxation.Although the empire has issued many decrees strictly prohibiting the peasants under the rule of the lords from moving freely, but because the household registration management system is too backward in this era, basically except for the central villages, the lords can't control the activities of people in remote areas. They are too lazy to care about it, so it is normal for farmers in border areas to migrate to each other.

It’s just that this time Qi Weini dug people too hard this time. From south to north, a line was hollowed out across the three families, and it became a Xilu excavator. Farmers moved in one after another, forming a hollow area. It is impossible for a big-hearted lord to sit idly by, or he will really become a polished commander.

On the afternoon of the day he received the news of the war, Stannis summoned his troops to go out. On this issue, he must not back down, otherwise the people in his territory would abandon him again.

"Why didn't they even send an envoy before sending troops? Is this kind of undeclared war really okay?" Stannis still felt a little unbelievable while riding a horse. This kind of war behavior was a bit too childish.

Robert laughed loudly, "Do you need a reason to fight? Besides, this level of battle is clearly for getting back the field. It's not a life-and-death fight. As long as one party surrenders and is willing to surrender, both sides will act as if nothing happened. Even Garcia The duke has tacitly accepted that such small-scale conflicts can be used as a normal means of settling disputes."

Stannis stuck out his tongue and used war as a daily routine. This world really doesn't take human life seriously.

At this moment, Maester Romond picked up a carrier pigeon and took a note from its foot, read it quickly, and caught up with Stannis.

"Your Excellency, my classmate, a bachelor of the Dill family, Bachelor Pryushkin, just wrote a letter saying that the leaders of the coalition forces unanimously agreed to choose the Sancha river beach at the junction of the four families for a decisive battle. Do you have any comments?"

It turns out that in this era of war, you have to decide the battlefield first, but think about it, in the era of such backward information, if you don’t decide the location of the battlefield early, it may take a year and a half just to find each other in the vast forest. load.

This time he didn't bring out his all-star lineup, Jabotay and Kanye stayed on the east bank of the river to catch the savages; a group of food poisoning occurred in the village below, so the monk Romney also stayed to rescue; ;Engineer Speer didn't bring it either. Stannis reckoned that there was no hope of digging trenches and laying traps in such a dignified frontal battle; even the mercenary captain Batesmoore asked for leave, saying that he had something important to go back home solve.

Therefore, he actually only took the initial configuration and went out to fight.

But Stannis didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Although there were only 100 people this time, almost forming a one-to-two disadvantage with the opponent, the lord did not show the previous symptoms such as restlessness, pain, and death. What is so confident is nothing but his trained elite soldiers.

This elite was added by Stannis privately. In fact, he still has no money to update the equipment for the Thunder Legion. Those infantry still use their own equipment. Shield and battle axe.

Of course, there is no armor. In fact, apart from Korodov’s mighty and majestic full-body plate armor, the other armor is a thin layer of iron skin. For example, Stannis is wearing this now. Although he is an expensive lord, his equipment includes The legendary weapon 'Broken Knee' is infinitely close to the day shift.

But Stannis has always believed that it is not weapons and equipment that determine the outcome of a war, but people!
His troops have undergone off-the-job training, which can be called the embryonic form of professional soldiers, so he firmly believes that fighting the militiamen of the three little lords must be easy and enjoyable.

An hour later, his idea was in vain.

On the other side of the river, rows of well-armoured infantry were lined up into a tight shield wall. The light from the sun on it made Stannis unable to bear to look directly at it. That was his opponent's army.Three types of flags with different designs fluttered in the wind, and the armor reflected light under the sun. This was the standard medieval elite army.

"I'm really a fucking dog, this setting is too much!" Stannis was going crazy on the horse, and he crossed over and stuffed himself with a bunch of rotten fish and rotten shrimps. He said it was the army and he couldn't bear it. , Just think about other lords doing the same.However, after his own efforts to sell iron and iron, he finally managed to gather a unit that can be said to be in the past and was ready to go out to torture people, but now he is told that the three-attack and three-defense troops on the opposite side have already reached the full level and are waiting for him. All the hard work he had put in before was completely useless!In short, the enemies he has to face seem to be improving as his strength increases, anyway, they will always be much stronger than him.

"I won't play anymore, this is too shameless!" Stannis felt that this time travel was specially designed to target him, facing that kind of enemy with bright armor and armor, armed to the teeth, what a fart!Recognize a coward and dismiss the army obediently, go back to grow sweet potatoes for the rest of your life.

Robert saw what this guy was thinking, and he decided to cheer up the traverser.

"Boss, look, those equipped with armor are all troops of the Doug family. They were originally famous for forging armor in Tanis, and only the first three rows were equipped with it. The people in the back are all civilians just like us. farm tools."

Stannis immediately recovered from the great frustration. Following the direction of Robert's finger, he indeed found that there were no more than twenty or thirty soldiers wearing standard equipment, and they picked the best ones at the bottom like fruit sellers. The main force is the black people standing in front and behind. If you look carefully, they are also a group of sallow, emaciated and malnourished mobs.

"Ha, are there still fights like this!" Stannis regained his confidence and began to calmly direct his troops to deploy.

It is said to be a formation, but in fact it is to put the infantry in the front and the archers in the back, because the heritage of the ancestors is not good at learning skills, let this traverser carry forward the quintessence of the country, what kind of formation of three talents from heaven and earth, the eight-door golden lock formation is really difficult .

But even so, Stannis still played a little trick when setting up the formation.
