Roger sighed in grief. The enemy's "geographical advantage" is too obvious.

It seems that we can only use blood to erase the gap between the two sides.

Roger turned around and walked towards the tent, but suddenly he stopped.

He turned around and looked at the white salty land again.

He thought, since this land is as white as snow, does it also have some characteristics of snow?

Roger quickly walked towards the salt ground.

Then he jumped and leaped on the white salty ground, stomping hard.

The salt blocks that were shattered by him were crushed into small pieces and then into powder.

Roger leaned down and swept away the powder, and there were still salt blocks underneath.

Roger drew out the Norman sword he carried with him. This spare sword was also carefully crafted by Sicilian craftsmen and was extremely sharp.

He held the sword in his hand and inserted it down hard, but he didn't insert it much.

After countless centuries of water soaking and drying, the salt formed in the plate has become like a thick shell.

It's like a dried salt lake.

Roger rubbed the fine, powdery salt with his feet, and he felt like stepping on the fine sand on smooth rocks.

The scenes of horse-drawing sleds and sand-sliding that he saw during his previous life traveled.

Roger suddenly had a whim, could he slip salt on this piece of salt ground?

He decided to experiment.

So he said to Henk who followed, "Find a large shield or a wooden board, and ask a servant to sit on it, and you drag the shield or wooden board with a rope, and run to me on this salt ground."

Henk received the order.

Soon, one of the simplest single horse-drawn "sled" appeared.

At this time, the senior officers arrived and they all gathered with Roger.

Everyone watched Henk ride a horse and drag the attendant to run on the salt ground.

But the attendant was a little clumsy and was always thrown off the big shield.

He didn't know how to use the party instead, but just sat according to Roger's order to "sit on top". As a result, the shield moved and he fell down again.

Shana looked interesting and said, "I'll do it, I'll do it."

She stepped forward and pushed the attendant away, sat on the big shield, and said to Henk, "Run, run, pull up."

Shana's balance ability was much stronger than that of the attendant. Henk dragged her to run fast on the salt ground, really like a sled.

Roger asked the attendant to chase him again, and he said, "Run with the fastest speed and catch up with them."

The attendant ran away with all his strength.

But how could he run with his two legs than four legs? He ran like a dog and was still being thrown farther and farther by Henke and the others.

Roger was very satisfied. He now had the way to quickly pass the enemy's arrow rain zone and send infantry to the front line.

Although casualties are inevitable, they can undoubtedly reduce a lot.

He thought that if the first group of soldiers were fast enough, they could even rush to the other shore before the enemy could run to the shore to form a formation.

Then they can seriously interfere with the enemy's archery and cover the advance of subsequent troops.

Roger greeted the senior officer back to the tent for a meeting.

When he sat down, Shana jumped and walked into the tent with Henke.

She shouted, "Why don't you let it play anymore? It's so fun, I want to play for a while.

"Did you call us here to discuss how to play?"

Roger ignored Shana's whine, and asked Muttier to explain the current situation, and then he made his judgment.

Everyone recognized his judgment.

Finally, Roger concluded: "It is better to fight early than to fight late, and we can't afford to lose this battle."

The atmosphere in the tent became a little depressing for a moment.

Roger announced: "So I decided to fight tonight!"

Then he began to deploy the mission: "In short, this battle is to cross the river and then fight, and the key is to be fast.

“Dark is our helper, and it will prevent the enemy from aiming accurately.

"But darkness will also hinder our command, and the noise on the battlefield will definitely not be conveyed.

"So this time, you must issue the order to the team leader in advance so that every team of soldiers will know how we are going to fight."

Roger drew his sword and drew a line on the ground to represent the river, and carved two marks representing the ferry.

He said. "I plan to quickly send troops to the river bank using the method I just did.

"After the archers arrived, they immediately formed a loose formation and shot against the enemy, targeting all the enemy soldiers who did not fight with our army.

"The swordsmen with armor took the lead. They were divided into two parts, crossing the river from the bridge and the shallows respectively. They had to complete the task of destroying the horse, and then continued to advance, pounce on the enemy's formation, and fight against the enemy.

"The spearmen walked in the shallows, followed the swordsmen, replenishing the losses on the front line at any time, and working hard to expand the beachhead position.

"Jaberds walk on the bridge, and the enemy set up formations against the river bank. Javelins throw them from the bridge to the enemy's head, and they can also gain a height advantage.

"The Javeliner threw the last javelin and turned into a short spearman and continued to advance and fought with the enemy.

"After all troops and enemies fight, they should try their best to advance, break around, and expand the landing surface."

After assigning the mission, Roger stressed loudly:

"This battle is not allowed to retreat. Whether it is on the bridge or on the river beach, it is not allowed to retreat once it steps on.

"Those who retreat will be killed!

"Everyone is brave enough to move forward, and even squeeze into the enemy's formation."

After Roger said that, he looked around and asked, "Please help me find out, are there any other problems?"

Odin reminded: "Captain, the enemy is not completely in the darkness.

"When I patrolled these two days, I found that when it was dark, they would light huge bonfires along the river bank, and the fire could shine on this side of the river."

Roger thought for a while and said, "Very good, this information is very important."

He turned around and asked Muttier: "Did the black gunpowder prepared in Yikang City bring? Have you ever been exposed to the trend?"

Muttier replied: "Bringed, well preserved.

"As the commander, keep it in a dry earthen jar, plug it tightly with wood plugs and seal it with beeswax. In this weather, it will never get damp."

Roger said: "Very good, Muttier, you're sending someone to unseal the can and use a flammable strip to tighten it.

"Spray a little black gunpowder on the cloth strip to ensure that it will burn immediately when it encounters fire.

"People who are doing things should be careful. Black gunpowder must stay away from the fire source and don't blow yourself up.

“Also, I tightly bandaged the jar with thick strips of cloth to prevent it from breaking if I fell.

"Tie a short rope outside to make it easier for the soldiers to throw it out like a hammer."

Then Roger turned to Odin and said, "Pick a group of soldiers with outstanding arm strength.

"At that time, let them bring these canned black powder, approach the river bank, and then throw them over to me like a hammer ball, with the target of the other party's fire."

Roger thought that at this time he could not create a stable fuse, so he could not make a killer like a grenade.

But the other party's fire can detonate the black gunpowder clay pot wrapped in thick strips of cloth.

Roger reminded everyone: "After the canned black powder explodes, it will make a huge sound, reminding soldiers not to be afraid.

"The air waves it erupts may extinguish the fire, or it may blow up the firewood in the fire and splash everywhere.

"The enemy's horse may be frightened, and the enemy's archery will be disturbed.

"Tell the soldiers that they must take advantage of this opportunity to rush forward."

Roger said as he thought to himself in annoyance that the power of the black gunpowder was still a little less.

The enemies are all in open areas, and it is estimated that at most several enemies close to the fire will be killed.

Moreover, the corpses of these men will block the shock wave of the black gunpowder bomb and protect the men and horses outside.

So it is impossible to kill and injure a large number of enemy personnel with black gunpowder.

But he also thought that as long as he could interfere with the opponent's team and create opportunities for his own troops, it would be enough.

At this time, Danny reminded: "The enemy is all archers and runs fast.

"They probably left the river bank after our infantry rushed over and used kite tactics to deal with us."

Odin retorted from the side: "It is very dangerous to run a horse on such a dark night.

"There are farmlands on the opposite side, and there are soft land and ridges everywhere. It is not easy for the enemy to use kite tactics."
