Chapter 597: Weapons of War (1)

"Get up for me, boys. Don't be lazy, get ready for me, I'm going to have a big time in the meeting. Mistress Lance wants to see our cousin, and if I find out who the coward is, I'll stab him in the ass with this thing! Shiloh yelled in the camp and waved the well-made sword in his hand for emphasis.

As the general gave the order, the junior officers quickly mobilized their men and asked them to assemble in armor as quickly as possible. So as the sun hung high in the sky, the army drove out of camp and pressed against the unicorn legion's defenses. On this day, there was a fierce battle between the two armies. Under Shiloh's wild and bold command style, the Blue Wolf infantry split into several fronts, alternating to attack the unicorn legion's defenses. In the meantime, he did not forget to intersperse the blood wolf knight to harass and assist, which can be raided and chiseled.

Under such a fierce offensive, the defense line of the Unicorn Legion was repeatedly broken. However, this army was cultivated by Daniel in the end, and although it is not as good as before, the soldiers' Su zhì is still there, and the military background cannot be taken lightly. Under the command of the new regimental commander, the breached defensive line kept repeating the action of closing and contracting. Maximize the density of soldiers on the line to resist enemy attacks.

Seeing this situation, Shiloh once rushed to kill. However, after making a gap in the defensive line, the unicorn soldiers sacrificed their lives to attack, and he had no choice but to retreat. In the end, the unicorn's defense line barely held on, but it suffered heavy casualties. Back at the camp, Shiloh was scolded by Lance, and he didn't refute it, just kept silent. He has his own considerations, and it is true that it is not impossible to defeat the unicorn, but in this case, the army he brought will inevitably suffer more than the estimated battle losses.

The military level of the Unicorn Legion and the resilience of the soldiers made him respect this army. At the same time, I also know that if you let go of the attack, the final victory is a victory, but it can only be a miserable victory. No general would have chosen such a tactic unless it was necessary. Lance could take the casualties of his soldiers lightly, but Shiloh couldn't, he had always been a man who cherished his wings. Even because of this, he had a bad reputation under Rycke, and was often reprimanded for being too conservative.

That night, the unicorn army boldly attacked the camp. Shiloh wakes up from his sleep and quickly organizes a counterattack. But after the other party's blow, it immediately flew away, and when Shiloh sent out his pursuers, the sound of cannons suddenly sounded in the night. The artillery bombardment forced the pursuers back, and before Shiloh could catch his breath, another unicorn squad attacked from other directions. Under the constant harassment of the other party, none of the soldiers in Shiloh had a good night's sleep. With the sound of horses' hooves, gunshots, and cannons, Shiloh finally saw the whiteness of the east, and the general's eyes were a little blackened after a busy night.

It was still a battle on this day, but today the Unicorn Legion adopted a strategy of retreating while fighting, so that the battle line continued to lengthen. In the end, Shiloh, who felt too deep, gave the order to withdraw the troops, and was naturally blamed by Lance again. But Lance didn't know, but fortunately Shiloh withdrew his troops, otherwise if he was led deeper by the unicorn army, he would step into the trap of the other party. According to the Unicorn's new leader's plan, he had planned to lure Shiloh's army away from the camp and burn the supplies with an ambush to force them to retreat.

It's a pity that Shiloh is cautious enough, but Lance doesn't know how to appreciate it.

After two days of stalemate, on the morning of the third day, the sentinels sent out by Shiloh soon discovered that a strange army had joined the unicorn army. The banner of that army was very similar to theirs, with a snow-white wolf head depicted on a black background. The Sentinel quickly reported the news, and upon hearing the news, Shiloh knew it was Allen's army.

"Look, look!" In the main tent, Lance roared, "General Shiloh, if you were willing to put in a little more effort on the first day, we would have been sitting in the unicorn castle drinking by now. But now, let the other side's reinforcements arrive smoothly. Now that the number of troops on the opposite side has surpassed us, I would like to ask, how are you going to fight this battle? ”

In the face of Lance's roar, Shiloh did not change his face and said calmly: "Lord Lance, the two armies are facing each other, unless there is a huge disparity, the number is not the main factor that determines the outcome of a war. It's good that the other party's reinforcements have arrived, have you forgotten it, Earl Rykerd had said before leaving. Our main goal this time is not really to conquer the Unicorn Territory, on the other hand, finding out the strength of that Sir is the more important goal. And now, here's the opportunity. ”

"Are you an idiot? There is no reason to let the opportunity not grasp in front of you, even if you want to find out the bottom of the other party, you can also find out enough after the unicorn castle. ”

"But at that time, the other party didn't think there was no need for support, and chose to scatter troops." Shiloh paused and added, "Moreover, even if we attack with all our strength on the first day, even if we defeat the Unicorn Territory, our side will suffer heavy losses." At this time, if enemy reinforcements arrive, then we will be dealt a fatal blow. ”

"Lord Lance, please believe that everything I have done is for you and Count Rykede."

"It's better to be like this, then let me appreciate General Shiloh's watch today." Lance sneered and walked away.

Shiloh bowed deeply and didn't straighten up until Lance was out of the tent for a long time. A hint of gloom appeared on the general's face, he sighed lowly, and called the herald: "Let people prepare the Yanlong rifle, today we are going to move the real thing." ”

This time, Luckard specially transferred a new batch of Yanlong rifles out of 100 and distributed them to Shiloh for him to carry with the army. The Flame Dragon Rifle is a relatively new type of fire in the territory of the Balgaon Empire. The gun, which is known for its range, accuracy and power, is the same as other models of fire. The gun was left far behind. If it weren't for the unusually fierce firepower of Allen's army, Rykerd would not have been willing to take out this batch of Yanlong rifles and use them.

The guns are out of the warehouse and handed over to the fire. At the same time as the gunman was in his hands, Shiloh also came to the outside of the camp and looked at the camp with a monocular. It can be seen that on the battlefield side, the enemy's camp flag has been replaced, replaced with a white wolf battle flag on a black background. Shiloh's heart moved, and he looked in a different direction, only to see that the unicorn's army was evacuating. This surprised Shiloh, and it was clear that the commander of the opposing side wanted to fight with the strength of his own army, and did not bother to borrow the power of the unicorn army.

This is arrogant, even stupid. However, after studying Allen's examples, Shiloh learned from another side that the baron's tactical style sometimes won with surprise tactics, but he did not make such low-level mistakes. He remembered that the day before yesterday Glar had mentioned that the baron was not currently in the army, which meant that the commander of the enemy army was someone else. If so, it is possible that the tactical style will become different.

"Perhaps, it's an opportunity." Shiloh said softly.
