Heroes of Silver Moon

Chapter 319: : Old King's Means (28)

In the Hood family's camp, looking at the bill in his hand, Marquis Hood's expression suddenly changed.

Ma De, this group of merchants in the capital is too shady. Their Hood family only bought some wood, and they actually spent more than 4,000 gold coins!

"Forget it, let it be more expensive! As long as you win tomorrow!", Marquis Hood, who was in a bad mood, tore the bill in his hand and returned to the main tent of the camp.

Tomorrow happened to be his birthday. At this time in the past, he should have held a banquet in the family castle and accepted birthday presents from the younger generations of the family.

But this year's birthday, he actually wants to spend it on the battlefield.

In this world, there is really nothing worse than this.

"I don't know how the battlefield fortifications are going," Marquis Hood thought in his heart as he pushed aside the cloth sails and entered the camp.

"How is the construction of the battlefield fortifications going? Have you made arrangements for how to fight tomorrow?", as soon as he entered the camp, Marquis Hood couldn't wait to ask.

As soon as they saw Marquis Hood coming in, the retainers gathered in the camp quickly put away all the things in their hands.

"What are you taking?" Marquis Hood, who caught sight of this situation, immediately asked suspiciously.

"No, it's nothing, it's just some sundries." Hearing the question from Marquis Hood, these retainers quickly replied with a guilty conscience.

After hearing this, Marquis Hood first came to these retainers in silence, and then snatched away the things that had just been hidden by these retainers.

"Hey, "Battle Group-level Infantry Command Outline", "Battlefield Fortification Construction in Different Terrains", "Infantry Cavalry Coordinated Operation Outline""

Holding these military theory books in his hand, the veins on Marquis Hood's forehead popped up, and his bad mood could no longer be suppressed at this moment.

Throwing these military theory books to the ground, Marquis Hood took out his riding whip and beat these retainers in full body armor continuously.

"Made, I usually don't read or learn, but now, I'm going to war soon, so why do you think these things are useless!"

Throwing the whip in his hand to the ground, Marquis Hood angrily rebuked.

Made, let this group of guys who grind their guns before the battle command the army, can they really win tomorrow?

Listening to Marquis Hood's reprimand, these retainers who started reading just before the battle all lowered their heads in shame.

They were all wearing full-body plate armor, and the few whips of Marquis Hood were also very measured, but they didn't really hurt them.

"Hey, how is the construction of the battlefield fortifications?" After venting his depression, looking at these idiot retainers, Marquis Hood asked again with a sigh.

With such a group of useless retainers on the stall, what can he do!

But in fact, thinking about it, the retainers of the Hood family can at least read books. I heard that there are many retainers of the Hawke family who don't even know the words!

Well, if you think about it this way, your mood will immediately feel a lot better!

"Yes, Lord Marquis, we have already dug trenches on both sides of the army, and the timber we bought has also been made into baffles and nailed to the front of the army."

Upon hearing Marquis Hood's inquiry, a rather elderly retainer immediately replied.

Among the retainers of the Hood family, his qualifications are relatively old, so when the Marquis Hood is not in charge, he is usually responsible for coordinating these retainers.

"Did you make any arrangements on the rear side? Also, why didn't you nail the fence on the front side to prevent the cavalry from attacking?" After listening to the retainer's report, Marquis Hood, who calmed down, asked with a frown.

Even if the fortifications are built according to the military theory book I just read, these mistakes will not appear!

Fighting in the plains, the fortifications that can be built are nothing more than those few.

On the side and rear, there are ditches to protect against cavalry attacks, right in front, fences to prevent cavalry attacks, and baffles to protect against long-range attacks by archers.

But judging from the report of this retainer, the fortifications built by the Hood family had big flaws in the front and rear.

The front is only nailed with baffles to protect against arrows, and the fence to prevent cavalry impact is completely unprepared.

As for the rear, needless to say, they were not prepared for anything.

"My lord, we don't buy enough wood"

The retainer first smiled wryly, and then continued: "And the soldiers marched for days, and they have been busy all day today.

If we continue to work, I am afraid that these soldiers will have to drag their tired bodies to fight against the Hawke family tomorrow."

After listening to the retainer's explanation, Marquis Hood frowned gradually.

He knew that what the retainer said was correct.

Leading the army to go out, they did not carry much belongings, and they were secretly punished several times on the road, which also cost them a lot of money.

And at the price offered by the merchants in the royal capital, they are already very lucky to be able to buy the wood for making the baffle.

And after days of marching, coupled with today's labor, the soldiers are indeed very tired.

Haven't experienced a war for a long time~www.readwn.com~The army of the Hood family has long lost the fighting spirit of the past.

If they were allowed to continue working, let alone dragging their tired bodies to fight, they might mutiny directly.

However, letting go of these two flaws really made him feel uneasy!

"My lord, don't worry. I have seen the army of the Hawke family. There are only a hundred people riding on horses. It is impossible to attack our army in formation."

Seeing Marquis Hood's worried look, the old retainer couldn't help persuading him.

There are so many people in their Hood family, he does not believe that the more than one hundred cavalrymen of the Hawke family would really dare to attack them directly.

"Hey, I hope so!", hearing the persuasion of his retainers, the helpless Marquis Hood could only look up to the sky and sigh.

The outcome of the battle is confusing, and now it can only be resigned to fate.

Damn the royal family, **** the Hawke family! Marquis Hood said angrily in his heart.

If it weren't for the royal family's black hands behind the scenes, if it wasn't for the Hawke family who had to fight them to the end, how could the Hood family have fallen into this dilemma today.

The night was getting late, and the nobles who watched the excitement on the walls of the royal capital gradually dispersed. The official battle will start tomorrow, so there is no need for them to stay here today.

And under the darkness, the soldiers of the Hawke family were digging trenches hard.

These people knew that the impact of the cavalry was not a joke. Once the tight formation of the Hawke family was broken up, they, who were far less numerous than the Hood family, could only usher in the fate of being slaughtered.

The continuous high-intensity rush made the soldiers of the Hawke family more exhausted than the soldiers of the Hood family, but in order to survive on the battlefield, they had no complaints about building fortifications!
