Section Thirteen Weaknesses
In any case, Billis did not expect that the army he had placed on the border would be acquired by Kang Tuoyi's soldiers without bloodshed. The last foreign aid vassal who was loyal to him was also killed by the leader of Calvin. During the melee, the cavalry that he came to ask for help was also killed. However, Kang Tuoyi did not take this army to Rostock County. Instead, he packed up the spoils and armor in the woods and returned to Billis' territory. He wanted to occupy the magpie's nest and seize the opportunity of Billis's expedition to subdue the nobles loyal to Billis. Those arrogant leaders and nobles were people who only recognized their strength, and it would be difficult to convince without an army in their hands.
Just as Kang Tuoyi led the army of leader Calvin away from the border, Billis, who was anxiously waiting in the Rostock Valley, did not know that his army on the border no longer existed, and he was concentrating on dealing with Arod's attack.
"Swoosh, swoosh." Arrows shuttled in front of the two armies like locusts. The javelin and arrows intertwined, breaking through the air and shooting people's bodies, as well as screams and wailings one after another.
The Slavic javelin soldiers under Billis shot the javelins at the coalition forces of Arod and Marty who were trying to attack. Arod's crossbowmen were not to be outdone. They followed the soldiers holding the shield and took a few steps to shoot the crossbow arrow upwards. They stopped and pulled the crossbow strings with their feet on the front of the crossbow and pressed the crossbow arrow, and continued to shoot upwards. Thirty or forty crossbowmen were walking and stopping, but they were very happy with Billis's javelin soldiers.
"Boom~~~~." In order to assist in the attack, Aroud ordered his catapults to line up and smashed in a row towards the direction of Billis' camp. At the beginning, the soldiers of Billis were frightened to avoid the rocks flying over, which made the soldiers on the attacking side force forward. But soon the soldiers of Billis found that the accurate heads of these catapults were not high. Although the stones were roaring past, it was very scary, but the complex terrain and rocks in the valley provided the soldiers with too much shelter, which reduced the lethality of the catapults a lot, so they were no longer afraid. Sometimes they also summarized the ability to avoid the eyes of the stones in the sky.
"Shield formation." Billis looked at the coalition forces approaching up with a spear and sword. He shouted to his soldiers, and the soldiers of Billis immediately arranged into dense shield formations and pointed their spears at the enemies at the foot of the mountain.
"Charge." The attacking coalition soldiers were also screaming with spears in their mouths, holding the sword in their hands, rushing towards Billis's army, and the people on both sides collided like two tides gathered. The Germanic swordsmen of Arod holding the swords were sharply cut the tip of the spears that stretched out from the shield wall. The soldiers of Billis in the shield wall were not to be outdone and poked them with their spears. The sound of fighting and weapons clinking sounds echoed in the valley. The clouds and mists in the valley seemed to be shocked by the murderous scene, and the drizzle fell from the clouds and mists.
"The attack didn't seem to be very smooth." Sir Ban stood in the camp with Arod. The raindrops fell on his chain mail, woven with iron rings, and the armor was woven brightly and shining. Because of the terrain, the attack they launched was not smooth. Billis was condescending and on the defensive, which took all the geographical advantage. Soon the soldiers of the coalition retreated in panting, and cheers of victory from Billis came from the valley.
"It is inevitable that the first attack is not going well." Aruod looked at the retreating soldiers and found that he actually felt that he could not make it out in front of the local area. If he continued to consume it, it would probably increase the factor of failure.
"It's better to let the knights try to attack once." Sir Ban suggested. Ordinary soldiers have poor physical strength and morale, and they cannot break through the defense line set by Billis. Perhaps only the elite knights can tear through their defense line.
"No, I haven't figured out Billis's intentions yet. The knights must save their physical strength." Arod shook his head. He has always been cautious in using troops and used the most clever method to save troops. Although he learned that there was a major change in Billis' territory, he also had to prevent Billis from leaving behind a move.
Unconsciously, several attacks organized were repelled, and the sky gradually darkened. Both sides had to stop their troops and return to the camp. The bonfires lit on both sides were like stars in the sky. The soldiers sat around the bonfires eating food, chatting with each other to relieve the pain of the day war. The generals gathered in the monarch's tent to think about ways to deal with the enemy. His generals and courtiers gathered in Arod's tent.
"Sir, I would rather lead the knights to assault tomorrow. The infantry will follow the cavalry and let the abominable pagans taste the power." Sir Ban clenched his fists, but the wound on his arm made him grin involuntarily. The knight's charge was indeed extremely powerful, but he completely forgot that the enemy was on the hillside. When the horses rushed up, there would be no acceleration of the charge. The infantry would also be exhausted when climbing the hillside, while the soldiers of Billis were waiting for it, which was also the reason why several attacks were blocked during the day.
"I think it is mainly based on the spear phalanx, slowly approaching the enemy, cavalry and other light infantry flank assistance." John Berg deserves to be a mercenary, and his ideas were quite practical. Arod nodded involuntary after hearing this.
"Actually, both of them have good ideas. Although the knights cannot charge against the enemy due to the terrain obstacles, they can get off the horse and fight on foot to save physical strength. The continuous approach of the phalanx infantry can put pressure on their psychology. The only thing to be careful is Ward Ward." Aruod was more afraid of these elite warriors wearing heavy armor, whose physical strength and combat skills were far ahead of ordinary soldiers. If they had not interfered with each other at critical moments, they would not have defeated the soldiers as quickly as possible.
"Indeed, those Ward Ward warriors holding battle axes have now become nightmare for the soldiers." Sir Ban and John Berg couldn't help but frown. They were not sure to get rid of the Ward warriors. Sir Ban shook his right wrist with his left hand.
"Well, you guys go down first, I'll find a way." Arod felt that the key to discussing at this time was to get rid of the last ace in Billis's hands. He needed to quietly consider how to get rid of the dangerous Ward Ward warriors. So he asked everyone to retreat first.
"What kind of way can consume the strength of Ward Ward's warriors? There must have been such war examples in ancient times." After the court officials left, Arod was walking in the tent. The only thing he could surpass the nobles of this era was only a thousand years of experience and war examples. However, perhaps it was too tired. His mind was like a cloud of mucus. At the moment when he was extremely anxious, someone suddenly spoke outside the tent.
"Who is it?" Aruod asked in dismay.
"It's Ms. Marty." The personal servant opened a corner of the curtain of the tent. It was indeed Ms. Marty, the ruler of Willer County. Arod felt very surprised why she was looking for herself at this time. But she still walked out of the tent.
"I'm sorry, Lord Arod, the daytime attack was not going well and I was worried." Marty was wearing a small scale armor and was covered with a long red dress. She had eye-catching red hair, which made her white skin look a bit brighter.
"Well, I just discussed with the court officials, and I just wanted to hear your opinions. Why don't we talk while walking." Aruod tidied up his clothes and armor, and the plate armor on his arms was removed, and he was wearing only a chain mail. He signaled Marty to walk out of the camp, and they followed him from a distance behind them.
"Billis is a very warlike man. He seemed to underestimate us in the last battle on the small plain. But now he will do his best, so we must be more careful, Count." Marty said to Aroud as he walked. They passed the bonfire where the soldiers were sitting around. The soldiers fought all day. At this time, the family was well-off wrapped in a shabby wool blanket and were drowsy. The family was not well-off and lay on the ground with his shoulders in his arms and fell asleep.
"We will do our best, by the way, Ms. Marty Billis is your father's brother. You must know him very well, so do he have any weaknesses?" Aroud asked.
"This~~." When Arod asked about Billis, Marty stopped and her expression became a little complicated. She hesitated for a moment and seemed to make up her mind. She turned her body and said to Billis's camp. "Billis, Kangtuoyi and my father are the three sons of the Chief Melklenburg. They all have their own advantages and specialties. My father likes to do business with merchants and always has a curiosity about novel things. Kangtuoyi is brave and the Count should be very clear. He is also quite good at the Emirates.
Love and have the title of hero. To be fair, Billis was originally a fair and orderly nobleman. He had the only elders' judgment council in the entire emirate in Wolgast. Where can people find fair judgments and judgments, but he was also a very suspicious nobleman. When I was a child, I followed my father and mother to visit his court. At that time, my father and Billis had a good relationship. At the banquet, Billis threw the servant out of the tower because he suspected that a servant wanted to poison him.
"Oh, but why did he feel at ease to hand over his territory to his wife, Mrs. Angelia. As a cunning and suspicious ruler, he should not trust anyone." Aroud asked curiously.
"That's because he feels owed his wife." Marty replied to Arod. It seems that there are stories and inside stories here, but Arod didn't plan to continue asking. The sky gradually fell into darkness, and the cold wind blew on everyone in the middle of the night.
"Suspicious people will be very cautious. This is not a weakness, is it simply an advantage? Could it be that he is Cao Cao and he will kill people in his dreams?" The information Aruod heard from Marty made him even more difficult. It seemed that the night attack plan could not be used. Suddenly, he seemed to have captured something, which made him stand on the spot and look at Billis' camp.
"What did you think of, Lord Arod?" Marty asked curiously as he looked at Arod's appearance.
"Haha, I know what to do. Thank you Ms. Marty, you have made me think of a way to defeat the enemy." Arod said to Marty with a laugh, and Ms. Marty looked at Arod who was ecstatic and confused, and she just stared blankly at Arod who was striding away from her.
"Sir, why are you here?" As the jazz on duty was lying in his tent, Aroud untied his tent and woke the knight up, causing the knight to rub his sleepy eyes and said dissatisfied.
"Get up quickly and let everyone else come to see me in my tent. I thought of a good way to defeat the enemy." Arod said to Sir Ban with an excited look on his face. Without waiting for the sir to answer, he left the tent and went to his tent to wait for his courtiers.
When the court officials yawned and asked each other about walking into the tent, Aruod had been waiting for them for a long time. When he saw his capable subordinates gathered, he announced loudly to everyone.
