Chapter 377 Believe in the sword in your hand!

This battle was fought very smoothly

Roman arranged the battle arrangements lightly, and the rules of victory were determined.

Everything just fell into place.

It's really smooth!

It's as pleasing to the eye as the art of war.

Tashina had never seen anything like this.

She knew how the Conqueror's wars of conquest were fought, and there were some old white knights who had lived through that era.

Confrontation between two armies, light cavalry reconnaissance, heavy cavalry charge, infantry resistance line... These are very regular tactics that have never changed since thousands of years ago - because they are most in line with the mobilization capabilities of the medieval era.

A real decisive battle often involves tens of thousands of people. Who dares to split up his own regiment before the war begins?

But Roman dares!

He issued various orders in an orderly manner and directed multi-front operations at the same time. Each brigade fought bravely to kill the enemy and completed combat tasks with extremely high efficiency.

First use a small number of elites to contain the enemy's main force, then use our main force to defeat the enemy's weak points, create a large number of broken troops, and then use the broken troops to attack the main formation.

The final result was that not long after the war started, the black iron army led by Macol was defeated.

The combination of a new war concept and excellent military literacy equals a dimensionality reduction strike at the military level.

This is what gave Roman the confidence to declare war on the entire land.

You bunch of rubbish have been eliminated!

The trash can is where you belong!

In a sense, Roman was not afraid of the large number of them at all.

The essence of the tactics behind rolling bead curtains is that the more people there are, the better the attack will be.

The only pity is that Roman can only turn this war into a defeat, but cannot turn it into a war of annihilation.

Although the defeated soldiers trampled on each other, killing and wounding more than a thousand people, and many died on the battlefield, most of the defeated soldiers still escaped.

After all, in the era of hot weapons, human life is just a number, and you can kill as many as you like on the battlefield.

But in the era of cold weapons, it was still difficult to catch all these tens of thousands of pigs.

Roman didn't have time to capture enemy soldiers or clean up the battlefield.

After the war was won, he led a small number of elite troops back in a hurry.

The whole process is like coming here to chop melons and vegetables. After a round of hacking, he turned around and went about other things.

When Roman led the army to defeat the middle army, another battle broke out on the upper road of Origin City.

…

Time goes back to before the expedition.

Roman summoned Captain Ed and think tank Yorun who were staying in Fengcheng City.

"Do you know Captain Weimar of the 7th Heavy Armored Battalion?"

"My king, he was once my comrade-in-arms." Ed said.

That was a more outstanding warrior than him. The army expanded and both of them were promoted at the same time. He was assigned to the new recruits as the captain, while the latter led the training of the 7th Heavy Armored Group.

"I asked him to station in Coldwind Town to relieve the siege of Slater Fort and Shane Territory Fort. You go and join them, and together we prevent the enemies of the Black Iron Avenue from approaching the City of Fertility."

Roman made gestures to inform Ed about the specific details of the mission.

"I will take all the troops to fight the enemy army led by the lion. Before I come back, you must keep every piece of land in Plenty City safe and sound. I know there will be many sacrifices, but, my Ed , I hope you can overcome these problems."

"Yes, I will never live up to the mission you gave me!" Ed did not hesitate and raised his right fist as if he had sworn an oath. When he saw Roman's face nodding with relief, he felt relieved and a touch of joy emerged in his heart.

…

The military camp was empty, and all the brothers from the rest of the brigade followed Roman to another battlefield.

The Thirteenth Brigade is the last brigade in Fengrao City, and their departure also means that Fengrao City has fallen into a state of complete emptiness. Only police officers and militiamen serve as backup armed forces patrolling everywhere to guard against rogue bandits.

But their departure was precisely to protect Fengsheng City from invasion by foreign enemies.

Ed summoned his brothers, and the twenty-five team captains completed the counting task. No one was absent, and they stood neatly in the school grounds, like a forest.

Ed explained the situation concisely and concisely. "Our mission is to stop the enemy, guard our land, and wait for the return of our Highness."

yesterday. The Five Thousand Professional Brigade and Princess White Steel fought together and defeated the main force of Beast and Lavender in the bottom lane, returning with a great victory.

today. His Highness Roman personally led the army to fight in the middle, with one against five. No one doubted that this battle would be defeated.

But on the same day, the situation on the road was not optimistic.

Because the enemy was marching at full speed on the Black Iron Avenue, approaching Fengrao City.

The enemies along the way come from the swamps and islands. The mercenaries and islanders are not easy people. They are all warlike peoples with fierce styles.

It is said that the Black Iron King Ioannis promised them a plunder order, and the mercenaries and islanders can plunder money and food at will in the Black Iron Land to make up for military needs.

Therefore, they came with great force and high morale. They numbered more than 30,000 people, and the rest were responsible for the logistics and heavy labor, totaling 70,000 people.

In comparison, Fengrao City's response was not optimistic.

The combined strength of the three fortress defenders in Cold Wind Town, Slater, and Shane Territory is only over a thousand. Even including the Thirteenth Brigade, the total number is less than two thousand.

Moreover, the Thirteenth Brigade is not a professional brigade.

They are an ordinary brigade, grassroots soldiers, and reserve members of a professional brigade. They have to learn spears, bows and arrows, swords and shields, fighting... They have to learn everything, and they are not skilled in anything. They only have basic combat abilities.

But that's not why they're holding back.

Because their families have all moved to the City of Plenty. They have also received the housewarming allowance from His Highness Roman, and they cannot flee in the face of danger.

Evil is right in front of them, but their families are behind them.

They cannot retreat, otherwise everyone will suffer.

The mercenaries in the Mud Swamp are notorious, and the stubborn islanders are equally brutal.

Rather than trusting their kindness, it is better to trust the sword in your hand.

Ed led the team to set off immediately, heading north along the Black Iron Road. The farther the enemy is intercepted, the safer the City of Plenty will be.

…

This wilderness is often desolate, with occasional people.

But in the past peaceful environment, this land actually developed quite well, with horsemen, traveling merchants, craftsmen and others coming and going from time to time.

But in the past two years, when the reputation of the blasphemer began to spread among the people, no outsider dared to set foot on this land.

Then, because of the war, this wilderness suddenly declined a lot.

The anti-rebel army came and was defeated by Roman.

The holy war army came and was also defeated by Roman.

Then, Roman came too, and he exposed his ambition to expand. He annexed five large noble territories in one go and plundered a large number of people.

Even so, there are still remnants of villages and manors scattered in this land.

They are just scattered.

The residents there are terrified to be neighbors with the blasphemers and the city of abundance, fearing that they will suddenly hear the sound of soldiers knocking on the door when they are asleep one night.

Everyone was disturbed by the war, and that fear tortured them for a long time, but as the days passed, those fears also diminished day by day.

As soon as Ed and the 13th Brigade left the scope of the city of abundance, they saw thick black smoke rising from the ground, like a dark cloud covering the distant sky.
