Ride and Cut

"Three thousand to five thousand people, Stuart's words..." Richard said after a moment of indulgence: "That is probably a reorganized army."

According to Stuart, there are only about 4,000 troops for a legion, which is not as many as the forwards of the Pompeii Legion. The three people exchanged their eyes silently. To be honest, they all moved a little bit, and they wanted to take the credit and honor of the first battle without waiting for the main force of the rear legion to directly eat the enemy in front of them.

And doing so is not considered a violation at all. After all, the significance of setting up a forward is to clean up obstacles for the main force within the scope of his ability. But whether or not they can play, we need to further verify the strength of both sides.

"This place is a more important military node?" Booth was full of entanglements. Although he is the captain of the 10,000 people, he rarely makes a decision on the key issue of whether to fight or not.

"No." Bedrick shook his head, apparently already doing his homework, "From the map, this town is called Chaksh, it's a very ordinary farmer's town, and the only specialty is pumpkin."

"And the other party must have discovered us a long time ago. Whether it's an offense or waiting for the main force, we'd better decide as soon as possible."

"Is there a city wall in the town?" The entire forward force is not equipped with any siege equipment at all. Richard is more worried about losing money on the city wall, but Bederick's answer proves that this worry is completely unnecessary:

"A thin circle is less than three-blade height, and the effect is limited."

"Maybe it was the decoy set by the enemy to attract us." Booth frowned, still more cautious. "

Richard sneered, "Come on, do you know how difficult it is to implement this tactic of fraud and defeat?"

In order to prevent a fraudulent defeat from evolving into a real defeat, the organization requirements for general soldiers are very strict. But the contradiction lies in the fact that those who can meet the requirements are often the elites, and the commander is too late to use them as treasures, so how can they be willing to let them out as bait.

Buster himself is vacillating, which will make him feel too suspicious before, "You can try."

So a whole five thousand people began to advance and start a battle formation, and finally stopped three thousand yards away from the walls of Chaksh. This distance basically guarantees that they will not be threatened by any long-range weapons or magic below the higher level.

Standing on the back of the earth travel dragon, Richard took out the telescope tube and put it in front of him, his eyes passed through the two layers of crystal lenses in the iron tube, carefully observing the far wall.

Since the first telescope was born in Gaoshan Fort, the craftsmen have not been eating for nothing for so long. They followed the ideas of Lord Lord, and conducted countless trials and adjustments on the polishing and installation of the lenses, and they can boast the results.

The root in Richard's hand is already a product that has been iterated for an unknown number of times. The image is much clearer than the original one, three thousand yards away, and even the white pus spot on the target acne tip can be seen clearly.

Chaksh is what an agricultural town should be. The low-rise buildings of one and two stories are very messy when piled up in the town. Cow dung and rotten cabbage leaves can be seen everywhere in the street. The pointed arch of a small church is the tallest and eye-catching landmark, and the cross stands on the top.

The wall is rather shabby, made of mud and wood like ordinary villagers' houses. When you glance over, you can see that there are a lot of wheat straws and straws mixed in. This kind of wall is considered qualified to defend against robbers and wild wolves, and it will never be tougher than papyrus in front of a siege vehicle.

The soldiers on the fence had obviously noticed the uninvited guests, and they were dispatching troops to the wall without a hassle. Richard could see their mouths clearly when they communicated with each other, but unfortunately he couldn't read lips and could only stare. Behind it was blocked by a wall, and Yingyingchuo was crowded with people.

The only defense equipment for the city is two pendulum bed crossbows, which should be the property of the town itself-if even the regular Stuart army is still equipped with this old and outdated thing, then they are not worthy of being an enemy of Pompeii.

The gate of Chaksh was already closed, but there were a few barefoot peasants outside the door begging. Their faces were clear and distressed, but no commander would choose to open the door at this time.

If there are several earls, the weight may be enough, but the civilians can be far behind.

The lord carefully observed the equipment and spirit of these soldiers, and finally concluded that-it was okay, but it was just okay. It is stronger than Dracula's "Brown Bear Roaring Legion", but not much stronger. It is more capable but can't see the arrogance of Lao Tzu that the ace should have.

He put down the lens barrel and set out his conclusion. After speaking, they found that Bederick and Booth were looking eagerly, expecting that the saliva was about to come down. So the telescope tube passed a circle in the hands of several people, and finally returned to Richard.

"You're really good, you can get me a pair later." Bedrick smacked his lips, his expression still unfulfilled when he returned.

Granling stretched out his hand and scratched the top of his bald head. He wanted it too, but as a clergyman, he couldn't hold his face to speak.

"Look back, one person and one pair." The lord waved his hand in a low-key manner, expressing a small meaning.

"I just seemed to see a griffon flag with a red background and gold stripes." Booth stretched out his hand and gestured roughly.

"I know there are only three legions with'Gryphon' in their names." Bedrick responded quietly.

Stuart's individual legion has fewer staff, so the total legion will naturally be more. It is also a standing army with a scale of 600 to 800,000. Pompeii is divided into only 20 legions. This number is two hundred on Stuart's side.

In addition, there will be occasional changes, which makes it extremely difficult to identify the origin through the banner.

"Wait, I have a subordinate who has been in the Stuart Garrison before. I will ask him to come and see." Richard snapped his fingers suddenly.

Not long after, Dracula ran over, held the telescope tube for a long time, and said with certainty: "It is the'Gryphon Ambition', the new army, the bottom of the regular army. I have also seen their army commander, It's Cape."

"We are obviously stronger." Lord Lord made his conclusion immediately.

Although there is not much difference between the numbers of the two sides, the comparison of strength has never been based on the number of people. This dragon claw forward is a gathering of elites from any angle.

Buster brought three of his ten teams that he could best handle; Bederick’s side all came from the imperial imperial army, including fifty tiger guards—when Richard was walking after dinner. I've seen it, with three-edged and one-armed tendons in height, and the flesh is exaggerated. Picking up two people with one hand is as easy as drinking water. It is completely conceivable what kind of meat grinder would be once they joined the melee in heavy armor.

The only drawback may be that the brain is not very bright. The lord of UU reading www.uukanshu.com was very enthusiastic in inviting these big guys to wrench their wrists. They actually agreed. Later, it took five or six days to raise the sprain.

As for the people of Alpine Fort, let alone, as long as you look at the sophistication of the powerful race and equipment, the mentally handicapped know that it is not a good crop.

This configuration is used to deal with an ordinary Stuart Legion, which is almost extravagant.

"Why hesitate! Get ready to attack!" Richard snapped his fingers, "The archers cover and shoot, the infantry lift their shields, Abu, you will lead someone to find your own position and prepare."

The whole army continued to advance slowly until it was a thousand yards away.

The pendulum crossbow on the city wall tried to fire a few shots at them. The power was not bad enough to penetrate deep into the ground, but the quasi-head was almost a joke, and he couldn't even get a hair. After a few rounds, the fire was turned off and there was no movement. I don't know if the arrows are not enough or I was just abandoned.

Not only do they have crossbows, but there are also alpine castles, and they are many times more sophisticated. The two all-steel crossbows were pushed out by the short artificial soldiers shouting chants. After each test shot, the two pendulum bed crossbows were neatly restored into parts.
