Section 90 Natural Fortress
The German Mercenary Group established its garrison several miles away from the castle of Count Lauziz. At most, more than one hundred people could be stationed on the hills. Therefore, Arod placed the commanders, knights and some long-range crossbowmen here. Most of the spearmen and other soldiers stationed under the hills. However, they tied sharp wood to resist the horses and placed a circle on the periphery to resist the enemy's attack. The general army had special servitude to do these things. However, every soldier of the German Mercenary Group received basic engineering training. According to the military exercises compiled by Arod, whenever the army was stationed, even if it was stationed, it had to dig trenches and establish a horse-resisting barrier. On the one hand, it could prevent the enemy's night attack, and on the other hand, it could also exercise the soldiers' physical strength and find some things for them to do.
"Pull the box truck there." Aruod rode his horse and pointed to a slightly higher place on the hill, and ordered several soldiers to push a box truck down. The top of the box truck could raise heavy wooden boards like a wall, and six crossbowmen could stand on the top. They just need to kneel down on one knee and shoot down from above with a wide view.
"Arude, are you going to turn this place into a fortress?" Yifu walked to Arude's side. He looked at Arude's defenses laid on the hills. Although he was not concerned about the box truck designed by Arude at the beginning, now he gradually discovered that this thing has many functions. It can be loaded when marching, it can be used as a temporary room when stopping, and as a hidden object for fragile crossbowmen when fighting. Arude brought a total of fifteen such multi-functional car.
"That's right. Using terrain is also a strategy for combat." Aroud looked at the newlywed guy who was energetic after his wedding. Ifu was wearing a full set of armor combined with plate armor and chain armor that Aroud gave him during his wedding. The bright armor reflected light and walked with a sound of frame. The cool look attracted the envy of many knights, and they asked where this armor was purchased. When they heard that it was a specialty of Arroud's territory, the knights were very surprised, because they remembered that Mecklenburg County was a barren land and a place of paganism. Unexpectedly, Mecklenburg County's technology developed so rapidly in Arroud's short reign.
"I thought you were going to fight against the Bohemians on the ground. I was going to do a big fight." Ifu proudly inserted his waist and straightened his body. He was showing off his armor almost all the time. However, the advertising efficiency was very good. A knight had already placed an order to buy a set of the same armor. Arod seemed to have seen that the plate armor produced in Mecklenburg would become a fashion among knights, but what Ifu wore was not really plate armor, or even a half-armor. It was just a product of the transition from chain mail to plate armor. However, in the era when there was no need to go to the far and hot Middle East to fight, this would undoubtedly become the most respected armor by nobles and knights. It is possible to sell a good armor for tens of thousands of gold.
"I wouldn't take this risk if it wasn't necessary." Aruod was reborn once, so he cherished himself and the lives of the people around him, especially Sun Tzu's Art of War said at the beginning. War is a major event in the country, making mistakes and unnecessary adventures are taboos for military strategists. Since the Bohemians want to defeat themselves so much, Aruod will give them a chance.
"Ha, you are always so cautious. That's why you stay in Duke Mason's court, facing those piles of parchment and a bunch of flatterers all day long. If I were tormented, I would have been suffocated to death." Yifu's character is generous and brave, so he hates staying in a dull place in the palace. If it weren't for the family mission, he would rather walk with his sword and become a knight.
"This is all God's will." Arod shrugged his shoulders and smiled at the corner of his mouth. Being able to fight side by side with his family once again made him feel much more relaxed.
"By the way, I want to ask you something." At this time, Yifu suddenly became shy. He opened his mouth as if he was a little embarrassed, but he asked as if he had made up his mind.
"Please tell me." Aruod felt a little strange. It was the first time he saw Yifu's expression. He was always a knight who had something to say. This expression like a little woman was really not suitable for Yifu with a big and round waist.
"Where is Julian now?" If said a little embarrassedly, but when he said it, Arod couldn't help laughing. It seemed that this was the effect of the pillow wind, and it must be the idea of Julian's half-sister Josephine.
"It was Mrs. Josephine who asked." Arod joked with a smile. Unexpectedly, such a big guy as Ifu, would obey his wife Josephine so much.
"She was very worried about Julian. Although she was just an illegitimate child, Josephine still believed that she had the responsibility to repay the sin on behalf of her father. Of course, Julian was your vassal, and I could not interfere in his life and death." Yifu understood the rules among the nobles. Even if Arude was his younger brother, since Julian was Arude, then Arude had the right to completely control his life, and others had no right to interfere, because this was Arude's sacred noble rights.
"Well, I can't tell you where Julian is going now, but he is performing a secret mission for me. If the mission is completed smoothly, it will offset his disobeying my orders." Arod promised Iv. Just when the Blood Drops were mobilized from the Baltic coast to the Mason Duke, Arod was planning to send a piece to the Bohemians in his heart. This man needs to be brave, brave and good at socializing, and be flexible in mind to deal with various complex situations within the enemy. Because such a candidate is not easy to choose, Harvey provided Arod with a list of senior members of the Blood Drops. He was either a little older or not flexible enough. At this time, Julian found Arod, hoping to take on this task and attack the Duke of Bohemia. Looking at Julian with dark skin and haggard face, Arod almost couldn't recognize the former Javelin Cavalry Captain.
"If you want to prove yourself, then do it." Arod finally let go and ordered the Blood Drip Brothers to disguise Julian's identity, and then handed him a drawing of siege weapons. Julian cleverly divided the drawing into two, which was also the drawing that later gained the trust of the Bohemians.
"Sir Earl, look at the sound of horse hooves coming from the distance. It must be the Bohemians." At this moment, a wait-and-see soldier issued an alarm from the side cart. The sound of alert horns sounded, pulling Arod's thoughts back from memory to reality.
"Oh, are you finally here?" Yifu raised his shoulders, twisted his head, and a crackling sound was made between the bones, and the armor also started to ring. His personal servant quickly led the horse over and helped Yifu, who was carrying heavy armor, ride on.
"Boom~~~." From the hills, you can see that like black dots scattered on the ground, the Bohemian cavalry ran straight towards here. The spear in the hands of the Bohemian knights was hanging a triangular flag at the tip of the spear. The erected spear flag fluttered in the wind, and the sound of war horses neighing throughout the sky.
"Prepare for war, prepare for war." The sergeant commander and officer of the German Mercenary Corps shouted, their orders were transmitted to every soldier through the drum beats of the little drummers. Quick discipline was the key to the victory of the German Mercenary Corps.
"Wow, Arud, your army is so fast." Yifu rode on the horse and stared at the bottom in a daze. The civilians and peasants who were always in a mess in the impression of the knights. Without the officer's whip and boots, they even couldn't stand in the team. They actually put on their helmets in an orderly manner, picked up their weapons and stood perfectly on their posts.
"If you are willing to train your army without doing anything every day, you can do it." Arod knew that If sometimes helped Baron Wendell train the sergeant of Lida Fort, but If's training method is one-on-one single fight, not army training.
"I'm not as rich as you." Yifu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't know whether Aruod was a nobleman or a businessman.
In the distance, Count Zeruoyimo looked at the opponent in front of him carefully, and saw them stationed on a hill with a cross flagpole at the top of the hill, hanging a square black lion flag flying in the wind, and some barons and knights were also surrounded by flags of almost the same pattern. The lion emblem of the almost identical pattern illustrates his family relationship. Under the hill is a formation composed of infantry and horse-resisting horses. At first glance, he thought he was attacking a fortress.
"These Germans always have such virtues." Earl Zeruoyimo showed a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth. As expected, no Germanic nobles dared to fight against the Bohemian warriors upright on the plains. They always either hug in their hard castle shells or hide in the mountains like this. Thinking of this, Earl Zeruoyimo spat a mouthful of phlegm at the ground.
"Sir, our cavalry may not be able to attack on the enemy on the mountain." said a vassal baron next to Earl Zeruoyimo.
