After hearing the news from the front, General Wabador immediately summoned a group of Lorraine officers to hold a military meeting.
After a while, the military commanders of each army received the news and rushed over one after another.
At that moment, the stars were twinkling, the boots were shiny, and the large conference room was packed to the brim.
The scout looked at the officers and said: "Based on the situation returned from the reconnaissance, several of our reconnaissance teams discussed it and estimated that the enemy numbered about 150,000."
"How many people?" an officer asked.
"At least 150,000, sir." the scout replied.
"Hi..." There was a sound of air-conditioning in the command center.
An officer said with concern: "Let alone 150,000 people, even if we catch 150,000 pigs, we won't be able to kill them all~"
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Even though the enemy is so powerful, for these arrogant officers who are used to being arrogant and looking down on the world's heroes, they still have confidence in victory~!
General Wabador looked at the disciples and laughed twice, then waved his hands and said: "Okay, everyone, stop making trouble. Go on, knight."
The last sentence was addressed to the scout.
The scout took a step forward, pointed to the map on the table, and explained to everyone as detailed as possible: "They set up three camps behind the city of Mansir, with each camp five miles apart, completely blocking the southbound route.
the way.
In addition, there are shadows of ships all over the river, but no large warships can be seen. The flags in those camps are very messy, and many people are not wearing military uniforms and only have simple weapons. When they saw us approaching, they did not come out to chase us."
General Wabador nodded, looked at Lorraine and said, "Lorraine, what do you think?"
Lorraine lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "I will tell you my analysis for your reference. I hope you will correct me if I am wrong."
Everyone nearby heard him speak so politely, and they all smiled and kept being polite.
Lorraine didn't say much, and then carefully analyzed each item: "First, many people are not wearing military uniforms and have crude weapons, which shows that they are just armed groups such as militia groups.
Second, the theory of chaotic flags indicates that there is a big problem with the unity of command.
Third, the lack of large battleships means that they lack main battleships and supply ships.
However, due to the lack of supply ships, it is very difficult to provide supplies for 150,000 people by relying only on land transportation. I can be sure that their battle will not last long."
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads.
Lorraine looked at everyone and said: "Gentlemen, it seems that the Emperor of Almohad can't wait any longer.
It is estimated that he also got the news that the governors were disobeying orders and protecting themselves secretly. If he cannot defeat us as soon as possible and show his strength, but spends time with us under Abdelwad City, the emperor will lose all his prestige.
.
And this will have disastrous consequences. In other words, soon those governors will not disobey orders, but will become completely independent. At that time, Amor and General Hadou can easily play his management buyout
.Of course if he wants to."
Everyone couldn't help but burst out grinning.
"Moreover," Lorraine continued: "They have at least 150,000 people, and we only have 30,000 people. From the perspective of the brainless bureaucrats in Almohad, they can kill us just by crowding them.
.”
General Wabador laughed and said, "That's a good analysis~!"
He paused for a moment, and then said loudly: "Since the fat is hanging in front of my eyes, how can I be worthy of myself if I don't bite it hard~"
Everyone also laughed ferociously.
General Wabador saw that the mood of the officers had become excited, and he couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Thirty thousand defeated 150,000. Such an achievement has never happened in the past thousand years. Gentlemen
After fighting this battle, our name will go down in history~!"
Having said this, he suddenly stood up and ordered loudly: "Give the order: prepare the army for war, and the warships and troops advance in parallel. Let everyone work hard. Gentlemen, after this battle, we will enter Abu
Let’s have a celebratory drink in Devade City~!”
All the generals stamped their feet in unison, and then roared: "Only your Majesty is following your lead~!"
The news that the Almohads were blocking the crusade from the front quickly spread throughout the army~!
Although the soldiers of the crusade were quite surprised by the fact that there were 150,000 Almohads in front of them, after this battle, everyone could enter the city of Abdelwad and grab a lot, and the day they had been dreaming of was over.
Before their eyes, the morale of the conquering army rose sharply.
The ordinary soldiers in the crusade even shouted out the slogan: "Grab money, rob things, rob women" after this battle.
Soon, the crusade army set up a battle formation on the great plains. The mages and priests also got off the ships and walked into the phalanx, and the battleships also reorganized.
Maple Leaf Danlin's crusade army rushed towards Almohad's station with a murderous intent that soared to the sky.
Five miles away from the Almohad camp, the expeditionary army set up camp on the river bank to confront them.
Lorraine climbed to the top of the battleship's mast and looked down at the Almohad camp not far away.
Lorraine climbed up the mast of the battleship and looked at the Almohad camp in front of him. It was only one of the three Almohad camps. The other two were far away on the horizon and could only be monitored by scouts.
I could only see the small shadow of Manhir City in the distance, covered by the huge camp of Almohad, and could only be seen vaguely.
The area is also divided into three camps by countless large and small tents, forming horns with each other and echoing each other. It looks a bit like eavesdropping on the course from the military academy. There are a few images, but in the bones
But it comes across as unprofessional~!
Lorraine was surprised to find that the tents in the Almohad camp were all arranged in disorder, like a large pool of turbulent water, spreading from the foot of Mansir City, large and small mixed together, and there was no trace of it at all.
There were no proper passages left, so the front of Manhir City was dotted with white, covering up the tawny earth.
Being in it should be like being in a huge maze. The black flow of people flowed casually in the gaps of the tent, which was extremely lively.
When Lorraine saw this, he couldn't help but frown, and thought to himself: "What the hell~! This doesn't look like a military camp, this is just a vegetable market~!"
Opposite them, on the river beside the city of Manhir, there were densely packed boats, completely covering the water.
Lorraine climbed down from the mast with a heavy heart, and Leo came up to meet him and asked with concern: "How is it on the other side? Are the Almohads powerful? I haven't seen any good fight with you since I came here."
Lorraine snorted coldly and said: "It's just a miscellaneous army. Let the old guy Wabador get such a big deal for nothing. But you have to be careful about the regular army among them. I saw there is another one with a gold-rimmed pig head flag.
Guardsmen of the Almohad royal family."
At this time, there was a commotion in the Almohad camp opposite.
Then, a strange and awkward-sounding bugle sound came out, and Lorraine turned her head to look.
I saw thousands of people walking out of the camp and gathering in front of the camp, reluctantly forming a neither square nor pointed formation. Behind them, dozens of Almohads came out of the camp in groups and gathered next to them.
, standing together scattered.
Leo was lying on the bow of the boat, looking at the crowds of people in front of him, and asked strangely: "What are they doing at this time?"
Lorraine smiled bitterly and said, "They seem to be gathering in formation."
"Yeah?" Leo blinked his eyes strangely and said, "What kind of brilliant formation is this? Why have I never seen it before? Could it be that it's the Yuanyang Formation, the Big Dipper Formation, and the Flower Moon that you mentioned?
Ling Feng formed something like that?"
Lorraine shook his head and said: "Of course not, they simply don't know how to form a formation."
Leo was immediately speechless.
Seeing the actions on the other side, the crusade immediately took action, put down the camp that had not yet been established, picked up weapons and formed an array outside.
In just ten minutes, the cavalry, infantry, and mages were all in place, and 30,000 people lined up in order to face the enemy.
The expeditionary force waited for half an hour, but the Almohad people on the opposite side still looked in a mess. People kept coming out of the camp, but some people actually turned around and went back to the camp.
The scouts shuttled back and forth to report news about the other two Almohad camps. However, there was not much movement in those two camps. Only a few groups of people ran out to gather with the Almohad people here.
At this time, there was another sound of bugles, and the Almohads outside the camp shouted, and then turned around and returned to the camp.
The crusade army looked at each other and wondered: What the hell are they doing? Did they take the wrong medicine?
Leo said "cut" in the direction of the Almohad camp, then looked around, and when Catherine wasn't paying attention, he secretly stretched out his hand and gestured to them with his middle finger.
The soldiers immediately returned and set up camp again. Only this time, they left two more cavalry regiments and one heavy infantry to monitor the other side. The enemy on the opposite side of the province played that trick again.
In the middle of the night, all the soldiers of the expeditionary army had just fallen asleep when they were disturbed by the enemy's movements again.
In order to prepare for the enemy's night attack, everyone in the expeditionary army was fully clothed and ready to fight. Suddenly, they heard the noise coming from the opposite side and ran to their positions to prepare for the battle.
But they only saw a few fires in the Almohad camp opposite. The outpost scouts boldly ran forward for a long distance, even putting their noses on the opponent's camp door, but they didn't notice that the opponent was coming.
Come out of the camp.
On the contrary, when I came back, I ran into a few scattered Almohads.
They were wearing civilian clothes and had no weapons. When they saw the knights of the Crusade Army, they mistook them for the Almohad Army. The scouts of the Crusade Army were not polite and arrested a few of them.
The generals of the crusade army soon interrogated these people in the headquarters. Seeing the ferocious looks of the crusade soldiers and the bright swords in their hands, these guys were very happy. Even when they were five years old, they followed their cousin and stole
Things that happened to other people's dogs were also involved.
Several of them were civilians in the city of Abdwad, or servants of the nobles, bodyguards and other figures. They were all recruited by the emperor and his nobles. At night, I heard everyone shouting for crusade.
The army attacked at night, and many places were on fire. They ran out without knowing the direction. Unexpectedly, they ran in the opposite direction and ended up on the side of the punitive army.
When asked who the general of the Almohads was, they didn't know. They only knew that they were following the squad leader. Then when it got dark, they ran out in a daze.
After the officers received the intelligence, they all gathered together and kept discussing, trying to figure out what was going on.
It seems that the other party has sent a mountain spirit tree monster or an archmage. Or maybe they are practicing strange spells to curse us...etc., there are all kinds of speculations. But what is going on?
But everyone has never been able to figure it out.
Lorraine thought for a final moment, and then asked, "Do we have anyone here sending troops to sneak attack them?"
Everyone looked at each other, and then all shook their heads.
Lorraine couldn't help but sigh and said: "Then it looks like they blew up the camp by themselves~!"
The generals looked at each other in disbelief. When everyone thought about the situation at that time, it really looked like a camp bombing. It also sounded like a camp bombing. So is it really a camp bombing?
General Wabador stood up expressionlessly and said: "Let the soldiers go back to camp and rest. I will go back and have two more drinks while it is still early."
Then walked straight back to the camp.
A general looked at General Wabador's back and said to his colleagues next to him: "Believe it or not, after this battle, this old guy will be named the God of War."
Everyone else burst out laughing.
"What the hell kind of stupid fight is this~!"
The noise in the Almohad camp lasted almost all night, and when it dawned, their camp became even more lively.
The Almohads really planned to go to war this time. People kept pouring out of the camp at dawn. Driven by several groups of knights, they continued to gather in front of the camp. But in Lorraine, they looked like the Almohads.
It will take a while for the Germans to do it.
The scouts reported that the Almohads in other camps had also begun to gather, but judging from their chaotic situation, it might have been the afternoon from the time they were assembled to the time the entire army arrived here to fight the crusade.
The expeditionary army ignored them here. Everyone got up and washed as usual, had breakfast, arranged their equipment and weapons, and then formed an array outside the camp.
The warships on the river also raised their sails, and the sailors shouted slogans loudly, rowed their oars vigorously, and slowly formed a combat array on the wide river.
Lorraine also rode up to the front of the Maple Leaf Danlin cadet army and shouted loudly: "Brothers, after we finish this battle today, we can go to Abdelwad for a nice stroll. There is gold everywhere there.
gem……"
I don't know who it was next to me, but I shouted in a narrow voice, "There are women~!"
It immediately caused everyone to laugh.
Lorraine looked at the man, and then continued: "Of course, if you are not afraid of the military police making trouble, then there are women. But..."
He said this for a moment, then pointed at the enemy's phalanx on the opposite side, well, if that's called a phalanx. Lorraine pointed at the enemy's phalanx and shouted sternly: "But we want to get those things
, we must kill these bastards in front of us~! Do you understand?"
The soldiers immediately stared with red eyes and roared angrily: "Kill them~! Kill those bastards, and then go to Abdwad to steal things, money, and women~!"
After hearing their roar, other troops nearby also had red eyes and shouted: "Kill them~! Grab money, grab things, grab women~! Grab money, grab things, grab women, kill them!"
them……"
The roar was like a furious wave, resounding throughout the sky~!
Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers who were stimulated by the murderous intent stared with blood-red eyes, with a fighting spirit soaring to the sky, while waving their weapons and shouting loudly, while glaring at the enemy troops on the opposite side.
The 30,000-strong army is like 30,000 vicious wolves and tigers. Just waiting for an order, they will sweep over like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, wiping out the opponent!
Although they were far apart and invisible to the naked eye, the Almohad army opposite them immediately felt the chilling air full of destruction and death, sweeping over them like a strong wind, which was almost suffocating.
Everyone's heart sank. They were as full of fear as a junior high school student who saw a gangster on the street.
Many people have discovered that war is not as beautiful and poetic as described in literary and artistic works.
Or maybe they just learned that although war is as moving as a literary and artistic work, they are just a bunch of supporting characters who can only show up once and die. And they are far from the luck of Zhou Xingxing and Song Bingyi.
There was a sudden commotion among the Almohad phalanx.
The officers and supervisors hurriedly rushed over, using their sabers and spears in disgrace. In other words, they directly used cruel and bloody methods on these soldiers with a hard heart, instead of using whips.
and riding boots to deal with them.
Suddenly there was a scream of ghosts and wolves howling in the square formation. Hearing the creepy and shrill sound, the soldiers and ruffians suddenly felt uneasy in their hearts.
They found that compared to the fear of the Maple Leaf Danlin crusade on the opposite side, the threat from the sharp swords and spears behind them seemed more realistic and more direct, and then they calmed down.
If you look down from the sky at this time, you will find completely different performances of the two armies.
Maple Leaf Danlin Fang's legions have bright uniforms and bright swords. Their fighting spirit is high. The battle lines are as straight as chopping with knives and axes, allowing the soldiers to cover each other and exert their maximum combat power.
The cavalry legion is divided into two wings, one to cover the flanks, and the other, once maneuvered, can rush out quickly, exerting the most proud and ferocious destructive power of the cavalry.
The archers, magicians and priests at the back are also arranged in clear echelons, and when they move, they are like a huge war mill armed to the teeth, which will inevitably grind its enemies into powder.
On the other hand, in the Almohad Army, except for the Royal Guards, all the troops were in scattered clothes, scattered weapons, scattered flags, and scattered troops...
Even their bugles are unusually scattered. Some have trombones, some have horns, some have conches, and some even can't find their bugles and use big drums and gongs instead.
In short, what you want is scattered. What you can't expect is also scattered.
