Chapter 371 I only go one way

The professional brigade is the elite combat force that Princess Baigang mentioned. Among them, the proportion of apostles is very high.

Last year, Roman had a total of 10,000 auxiliary soldiers and 7,000 professional brigades.

In the battle of Tianma Plain, the professional brigade suffered heavy losses.

Because the combat functions undertaken by the professional brigade are much higher than those of the auxiliary soldiers, and the disability rate is also higher.

As long as they are not used to death, they will be used to death.

Therefore, many of them really died.

Later, Roman selected some auxiliary soldiers with outstanding performance to fill the vacancies left by the professional brigade after the reduction of personnel.

Now there are about 6,000 auxiliary soldiers and 7,000 professions.

Of course, they are auxiliary soldiers, but the combat effectiveness of some auxiliary soldiers is not lower than that of the soldiers of the professional brigade.

Auxiliary soldiers are also professional soldiers, but they joined the army later.

Roman's attitude is very clear, but the soldiers who joined the army earlier have the obligation to take greater risks.

...

Fengrao City has no strategic location to defend.

Roman can only forcibly build five highland defense towers.

They are Cold Wind Town, Lester, Shane Territory, Blackbird Forest, and Apple Town.

In order to fill the troops, Roman sent 2,500 troops to garrison the fortress.

Cold Wind Town is the most remote, located in the north, not connected to any road, and has no strategic value. The soldiers stationed there can only be regarded as a surprise force.

Lester and Shane Territory have good geographical locations, just sandwiching the Black Iron Road on the upper road, about three or four kilometers apart.

The soldiers in the Blackbird Forest and the wild area are very close.

Only Apple Town is sandwiched between the lower road and the middle road, which is very dangerous, so there are not only 500 professional soldiers stationed in Apple Town, but also 1,000 militia crossbowmen.

Now there are only 11,000 professional soldiers stationed in the City of Plenty.

5,000 elite troops are almost equal to all professional soldiers.

Roman agreed with Tashina's strategic plan.

Strictly speaking, the upper road and the middle road are the frontal pressure.

But he and Tashina have the same opinion.

First of all, because we have to deal with the upper road and the middle road with all our strength, we have to break the lower road first to prevent the lower road from stealing the home.

Secondly, if you defend too long, you will lose, so it is better to turn defense into offense.

Finally, Roman has the war wisdom from his previous life - no matter how many ways you come, I will only go one way - to turn the defensive battle into a mobile battle!

Even a sword master cannot face the siege of four people at the same time, but a real sword master can turn 1V4 into four 1V1.

It is better to do it sooner rather than later.

After a brief military decision, the city of abundance, which was already in a state of war, immediately sent out troops.

Let's mess up the enemy's strategic deployment first.

On Tashina's side, there are Black Iron, White Knight, First Oak Marshal Enya and Oak Elite Soldiers.

On Roman's side, there are Deputy Head and Sniper Corps Dick, Vanguard Corps Nathan, Heavy Corps Aaron, Guard Corps Kao, Special Corps Green, Spellcasting Group, etc.

At Tashina's suggestion, all the heavy soldiers threw away their heavy shields, replaced them with light shields, and changed to light armor.

Aaron was a little confused.

He said: "Princess, without shields, our advantage will be lost."

Tahina said meaningfully: "Sir Aaron, listen to me, it's better not to delay this battle for too long, because they can 'see'."

...

At noon.

The lower road. Bro River.

Carter and Provence.

They claim to have an army of 200,000, but they themselves are not very clear about the exact number of people. They can only roughly estimate more than 50,000 people - one-third of them are responsible for logistics and baggage, and the real conscripted army is only more than 30,000.

Provence is the king of lavender. He is tall and handsome. His black hair falls straight to his shoulders and is always combed neatly, as if exuding a light and elegant fragrance from the inside of his body, with a clear aristocratic temperament.

The image of the head of the Carter family is at the other extreme. He has a black bear with four limbs on the ground as his mount, and he himself has luxuriant hair and round furry ears, like an orc, more like a bear than a black bear.

The Lord of Provence had no good feelings towards the head of the Carter family, and the same was true for his mount. It was a vicious beast that ate people, and human blood coagulated on the coarse and hard hair on its bear face, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"My lords, the army of the blasphemer and the White Steel Princess have come, and they are not here with good intentions." The person who spoke was the bishop of the Holy See.

Someone asked: "How did the bishop know?"

The bishop said: "The gods told me."

The King of Lavender smiled like a spring breeze and said: "Praise the gods."

The head of the Beast family disliked the gods just as Provence disliked him, but the situation was stronger than the person. He obeyed on the surface and said dully: "Praise the gods."

The beast had a keen intuition and knew that these priests must have received some information from another world. That was the source of power for most prophets. They could pretend to be gods and ghosts after receiving some revelations, just like the witches' tricks. It was hard to say whether it had anything to do with the gods.

"How long will it take them to arrive?" asked the King of Lavender.

"At most half a day." The priest replied.

"Then let's fight." said the head of the Beast Family.

Half a day was enough for them to change from marching to war.

A minor noble suddenly said, "My lords, are we too aggressive? Now we are closer to our enemies than to our teammates. Lord Macor said that we should move forward together and support each other."

"What do you think?" Provence smiled.

"Refuse to fight, defend with all our strength, we will form a formation on the spot, even Princess White Steel will have to return in defeat." The man advised.

He looked at the bishop, hoping that the adults from the Holy See would support his strategy, but the bishop had just become the military bishop not long ago. In the past, he was obsessed with preaching and didn't know much about military and politics. He could only see one thing.

We have a big advantage! How can the flying dragon lose?

"We are strong, why are we afraid of Princess Baigang? Pass my order, advance ten miles, find an open place, and everyone will fight!" The head of the beast family roared. His voice was terrifying, like a beast roar.

"Since Her Royal Highness is going to send troops, why not play with her." The Lord of Provence said.

"What are you going to do?"

"You guys fight head-on, and I will lead a group of knights to flank. I want to see if our princess is as tenacious as the legend says."

...

In the afternoon.

The attacking valley army.

A crow hovered in the sky, flew from a distance, and landed on the shoulder of Princess Baigang.

It quacked, "Princess, they changed their formation!"

"Sure enough, they noticed it, they got the revelation, and our raid failed at the beginning." Tashina frowned slightly, "And, in this case, the Black Iron Avenue and the Lion Territory will soon know it."

"Then should we fight or not?" Dick asked.

Captain Jet didn't come, but Dick, as the deputy captain, was also the supreme commander of the 5,000 elite soldiers.

He was the only one who was qualified to discuss specific tactics with Tashina at the scene. But he was soft-hearted and his will was not firm. He was a person who went with the flow. Moreover, as a traditional knight, he respected Tashina, the royal princess.

As long as he didn't make a desperate and fatal decision, Dick usually wouldn't oppose something clearly.

Iotashina said, "Fight! Why not? You fight on the front battlefield, and I will lead the special forces to attack their flanks!"
