The Origin of Arcane

Chapter 44 Attack and Defense



Invite us to go out of the city tomorrow and fight to the death. Speaking of the gauntlet, Xiao En had a strange expression on his face.

He understood every word above, but he couldn't connect them together. He didn't understand what kind of mentality old Bolton was in when he wrote this gauntlet.

Unless his head was kicked by a donkey, he would give up the high-walled compound and go out to fight him to the death.

In view of the differences in the brain circuits of the two worlds, let's take it out and see the reaction of the local aborigine McKee the Skull Crusher.

Idiot! Skull Crusher McGee spat heavily towards the outside of the city, proving that it wasn't Sean's head that was kicked by the donkey, but Old Bolton's.

When we are fools! He shut the door when he was inside, and now it's our turn, and he wants us to go out for a decisive battle. He is so beautiful, we will wait here, and let this son of a bitch climb his own city wall .”

However, what McGee the Skull Crusher said later directly exposed the essence of Mud Legs. It was purely for venting revenge, not from a tactical point of view at all.

It seems that there are no fools in this world. Xiao En sighed with a smile, and put away the so-called gauntlet.

The above content doesn't matter at all, because this is just a cover, and the other party's cover is to investigate him openly.

...

Bastille makeshift camp.

seen?

I see, the other party is younger than I imagined, that is, thirteen or fourteen years old, but he is very old-fashioned. He just accepted the letter of war, and there is no obvious expression of likes and dislikes. Except for the city and the outside, it is covered with white lime. It is full, and the defense facilities have not noticed much change. As for the opponent's army, there is no chance to see it under the bid, and the people in the city have no chance to touch it. The opponent's precautions are well done.

The one who reported to Old Bolton was the soldier who had submitted the letter of war to Sean earlier.

As a cautious old fox, Bolton never believed in one-sided news. After losing the skirmish, he could only use this cliché.

Although the trial was unsuccessful, the information obtained was relatively limited, and the other party had obviously been guarding against him for a long time.

Apart from proving that the other party is a cautious person in disguise, there is not much to gain.

After the old Bolton waved the soldier down, he turned his attention to Clayton the scavenger, Does Mr. Clayton have a good plan?

I don't have a good solution other than a hard attack. I have already torn face with them before. If I didn't run fast, I would have been annexed by people. Now that I bring people back, I am just throwing myself into a trap.

Clayton had a bitter expression on his face. He was also full of resentment now. He had kindly reported the letter, but was detained by Old Bolton for no reason, and he was dragged back to Bastille all the way.

This is completely inconsistent with his original plan to secretly cooperate with the other party. When this happens, not only will the two sides win and lose, but his reputation among the Andes will be tainted by the wind.

It is unknown how many people will be willing to follow him at that time. After all, his previous cooperation with Bastille was in the dark. No matter how dirty it is in private, he refuses to admit it publicly.

I'm the one who messed up. Compared to the high-spirited a few days ago, the old Bolton looked much more sluggish now.

He has aged ten years in just a few days. Ever since he learned of the fall of the Bastille, he has become possessed by a decrepit spirit. He originally wanted to join the great knight Agel to form a situation of two great knights, crushing each other with high-end force .

It turned out that the opponent was infected with a severe disease, and even Ajel, who was a great knight, was not spared.

What's even more tragic is that this incident stimulated his most dependent helper, Bull Eriksson, and aroused the nightmare in his heart. He is still in a trance until now. Let alone commanding the battle, it is even difficult to maintain a few percent of his combat effectiveness now. is an unknown.

The tactics of high-end force crushing have been formed, but they are crushing themselves.

Now old Bolton doesn't even have a confidant to discuss opinions, and he does everything by himself, a little bit exhausted, and this is the absurd scene of asking Clayton the scavenger.

At this moment, he regretted for a moment. He regretted driving all his sons to the capital. If he kept one or two by his side, he would not be in such a situation where no one could be used, even the youngest son with the least ability , There is also a person who can speak intimately.

This may be the sorrow of a dictator. When you try to hold power tightly in your own hands and don't want to distribute it to anyone, even your own son, you are destined to be alone for life.

After only being depressed for a few minutes, the elder Bolton regained his spirits. Eriksson the bull's abnormality had already had a certain impact on the morale of the soldiers, and he must not fall down again.

Otherwise, the Bastille will collapse without a fight. The Bastille is his root, his life, his glory, and the foundation of his family inheritance. No one will be allowed to take it away, never allowed.

When the weeds outside the city were burned, Old Bolton couldn't wait to push the front line up, and then repeatedly sent people to shout, demonstrate, insult, and even took off his pants to make various indecent gestures towards the city.

This opened Sean's eyes. It turns out that the cold weapon offensive and defensive battle is like this. It's not just arrows and stones flying all over the sky as soon as it comes up.

In the beginning, McGee couldn't stand the other party's provocation, so he jumped and scolded the other party across the wall. He couldn't get enough of the scolding, so he asked the whole half of the school guards to yell loudly and start a group of scolding.

This situation only lasted for less than half an hour and then stopped. Whoever it was was watching a monkey show by thousands of people would feel uncomfortable.

What's even more irritating is that everyone who watched the show would grab a handful of fried pine nuts and smash them happily, and would make a cool comment from time to time.

Under the leadership of the leader McKee, they beat up those spectators, and then snatched all the iron pan fried pine nuts in their hands, and squatted on the top of the city to watch the monkey show outside.

Don't tell me your mother, this feeling is really good, but thinking about being surrounded by people like this for more than half an hour just now, I feel angry.

Then formed a group again, beat up those thieves and thieves again, snatched all the iron pots and pine nuts in their hands, moved them to the root of the city, and fried them for themselves.

If you like to eat, just say so, don't you need to use such violent means? The group of muscular men under your command didn't attack lightly or severely, and several of them were dislocated. Xiao En said with a wry smile. This is a typical opportunity. revenge.

During this period of time, the reorganization of the Skull Crusher Corps was still based on the selected grassroots non-commissioned officers, but each grassroots officer was accompanied by a junior soldier as an adjutant to assist in the management of the reorganization.

For these young people, the soldiers of the Skull Crusher Legion were quite convinced, not only because of their intelligence, but also because of their fearlessness.

But when the reorganization really started, the soldiers of the Skull Crusher Legion had fully experienced the many tricks of these young people.

Sean's positioning for the Skull Crusher Corps is of course a small team, but it doesn't mean that he will give up on coordinated operations. If there is an opportunity, he will naturally seize it.

Sean really doesn't have much experience in training the army. In his previous life, he failed to serve in the army due to some accidents. His knowledge of the army is limited to various information materials and two-week experience military training.

However, the majestic military posture during the military parade is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is necessary to apply one or two. The young army who has followed him since childhood has been deeply poisoned by him. Generally speaking, it is still effective. After all, the young army's own coordination ability is there. with.

Now that I have the opportunity, it is natural to abuse others. A line of majestic men who are not afraid of death are turned left and right, with standard military posture and tears in their own internal affairs. In their eyes, the young army is short of a pair of horns and a pair of wings up.

But in the army, they are all officers. If their orders are not obeyed, the new officer next to him who is eager to try will use his fist to tell them what discipline is.

Now that they have managed to find an opportunity, they naturally have to beat up the Young Army to vent their anger. There is no way, this is the only place where they can beat the Young Army so far-the rest, whether it is in terms of scheming, tricks, or Just kidding, they were all thrown out of the eight streets by the youth army.

People are born cheap. If they live too comfortably, they will become delicate. The more you beat them, the more skinny they become. Your people are too smart now. It's good for them to smoke once in a while.

Those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. After being with Sean for a long time, McKee the Skull Crusher has also become full of horses and chariots, and he will never admit it. My own IQ is not enough, my fists are itchy, and I always want to greet them in the face.

With such a rascal in the conversation, there is no way to continue the conversation.

The soldiers of the Skull Crusher Legion were still cautious about the severity of their strikes, and most of the young soldiers suffered only superficial injuries.

It is not without benefits to do so, not only is it a channel for the soldiers of the Skull Crusher Legion to vent, it is also an incentive for the Boys to make up for their shortcomings as soon as possible.

In this gag atmosphere, the old Bolton's provocative tactics failed without attack.

Whether it is a gauntlet or this kind of provocative tactic, it is based on the premise that the opponent makes mistakes actively. The success rate is pitifully low. Even if it succeeds, there is still a lot of chance.

When all kinds of tactics can't be effective, the siege battle will follow the war process that Xiao En understands - siege with ants.

This is the most inferior tactic of all siege tactics. Since there are other options, a wise general will not choose this tactic, because this tactic is filled out with life.

If it was changed to other places, the attacking side would inevitably drive away the surrounding farmers and slaves, serving as cannon fodder for the first wave of siege, and consuming all kinds of military reserves of the defending side, especially arrows and stones.

Now the Bastille obviously does not have such conditions. The people who can be driven around have either been harmed by them, or they are already on the other side of the city wall. They can only dispatch elite troops as soon as they get started.

The tools were prepared as comprehensively as possible, such as ladders, battering rams, assault vehicles... using local materials, and a lot of them were manufactured in just a few days.

The war became intense for the first time.

Just like Sean and the others speculated, Old Bolton couldn't afford it. Not only was the military supply insufficient, but his morale was also hard to maintain. He had to attack in one fell swoop when the military supplies were the most abundant and the morale was strongest, otherwise the period of defeat would not be far away. .
