Even Wilson and Essien, who have been responsible for the planning and development of Mero Town, could not have imagined that Mero Town has such great potential.
The factories and workshops originally planned by Aslan produced a large number of weapons and armor for Mero Town in just a few days.
At the beginning, Wilson could not accept Aslan's massive hoarding of iron ore, refining iron ingots and other materials. As a result, during the general mobilization, as soon as the warehouse was opened, the resources hoarded in the early stage were immediately used.
Especially the five-meter-long steel bar, which can be used as a spear by sawing it off in the middle and attaching a spear head. The only shortcoming is the key point, but it can quickly arm two infantry phalanxes of 500 people.
The spear infantry phalanx only trains two combat skills and maintains a battle formation. Whether marching or fighting, the formation must be kept dense.
The second skill is lunging, which involves raising a spear and thrusting straight. This simple action requires a spearman to do hundreds of times a day. With a spear weighing dozens of kilograms, he only trains thrusting two or three hundred times a day. It is not
Aslan didn't want to increase it, and it had already reached its limit. Any more would damage the soldier's body.
After seven days, these soldiers were basically able to maintain their formation, and the spears thrust into battle.
Arthur said bluntly after seeing the spear infantry formation.
"If the knight does not have enough impact and crashes into the spear infantry phalanx, he will definitely die."
On the other side, Gawain led the Merlot army to use tactical mobile warfare, constantly consuming the coalition soldiers crossing the river.
Divide one hundred crossbowmen into three echelons. After the first row shoots, they squat down to load arrows. The second row shoots quickly. When the third row completes shooting, the first row can shoot again.
In the past seven days, more than 500 soldiers were shot and killed by the Merlot army, and the lords' coalition forces were able to land between 200 and 300 soldiers. Facing the heavily armored guards with a single charge, the entire army was basically wiped out, without even a chance to surrender.
Therefore, in the past seven days, the lords' coalition launched several attacks, but all failed without success. Instead, they lost thousands of people and made several lords stomp their feet in distress.
"The reinforcements will arrive today. When the reinforcements sent from the territory are reunited, plus the troops of the four lords of Viscount Zorn, we will land in three groups and see what the Merlot army can do to stop it." Viscount Hillman said fiercely.
The loss this time was so great. Once Lord Mero was defeated, he would dig up the entire town of Mero and give it to Lord Mero without even a single copper.
Gawain's lips were chapped and his pupils were sunken. He seemed to have lost weight, but his eyes were firmer than ever.
This week's battle has allowed Gawain to successfully transform, and his cultivation has also faintly touched the bottleneck of the Great Knight.
Gawain, who had been looking at the coalition camp, frowned slightly and sighed helplessly.
"Here he is after all."
Goode and Leanning next to them were not much better than Gawain. A week of high-intensity fighting had left them physically and mentally exhausted.
"Retreat! The only thing we can do next is to wait for reinforcements from the lord."
Gawain's words only brought back a moment of silence.
The Merlot army that had been entrenched on the other side of the river retreated, greeted by cheers from the coalition forces.
In the past few days, they had been tortured to death. Their troops were several times stronger than the enemy's, but they were suppressed by hundreds of enemy soldiers.
Now the reinforcements from the territory and the armies of other participating lords have arrived. The two armies have joined together, with a total strength of fifteen thousand, known as the thirty thousand army.
The allied forces of the lords gathered together in a mighty manner, with battle flags standing everywhere, and everything was dark as far as the eye could see.
On a low hill on the battlefield, dozens of tents have been set up under the hill, and the hill is already overcrowded.
The news of the war between Lord Mero and the ten Lords Billy has long been known to everyone.
Especially when they learned that the coalition forces had dispatched 30,000 troops, it caused a sensation among the nobles in the Belgian region. There had not been such a large-scale war in the Belgian region for many years.
"Do you think Lord Mero can win?" someone asked curiously.
"It's a bit suspense! After all, it is an army of thirty thousand. Even if the city defense army of Billy City were to fight against it, it would still be enough to drink a pot." Some young men who thought they were young men began to express their military opinions.
A golden figure on the side frowned slightly and said in a shocking tone: "Judging from the battle flags and tents, the size of the lords' coalition army is about 15,000, and its military appearance is scattered. More than 80% of the soldiers are mainly militiamen. If it is true
Facing the city defense army is just a head-on confrontation, and the lords' coalition cannot hold out for twenty minutes."
Hearing what the blonde girl said, someone was dissatisfied and wanted to refute, but when he saw that delicate face, he was stunned for a moment, smiled coquettishly and backed away.
That girl Artoria, only sixteen years old, already had the strength of a knight commander and was the commander of a thousand-man team of the city defense army.
They are professional military personnel. They are half-assed people who can only pretend to compete. It is better not to go up and show their shame.
"Miss!"
Arturia looked over with a faint look, and the knight couldn't help but feel panicked, and quickly changed his words: "Lord Qianqidu!"
Arturia nodded with satisfaction.
"I think it would be a waste of time for us to come here specifically to watch this battle."
Yadong didn't say anything else, and Arturia could guess what he meant. He looked down on the militia troops of the lord coalition. In his eyes, this kind of war between lords was similar to a group fight between two village chiefs.
"We arrived late and missed the Merlot Army." Artoria said regretfully.
Hearing the Merlot Army, Yadong couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.
More than 700 people blocked more than 5,000 people for a week, unable to cross the Meili River even half a step.
"The commander of the Merlot Army is indeed a talented person, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong lord." Yadong sighed.
"No, you are wrong. I am even more curious about Lord Mero. What kind of lord can cultivate such an army. My father often said that a raging army can lead to a raging army," Arturia said.
Yadong was still dissatisfied, but did not open his mouth to refute.
He wanted to know what the combat effectiveness of the lord's army had to do with the lord.
While the nobles were discussing the key to winning or losing this battle, some people had even placed bets.
In a plum tree forest on the other side of the Merlot area, there are also dozens of people gathered here. However, compared with the pampered nobles on the hills of the Billy area, the dozens of people standing here all exude
With a strong breath.
Many people have scars on their faces and bodies, making them look extremely hideous.
"I just saw barbarian warriors, and there were quite a few of them. There should be one or two hundred of them!"
A young and strong man suddenly spoke.
His ears were pointed and pointed, but he was a little shorter than the traditional elves. His body was tall and powerful, which was completely different from the slender and slender elves.
