According to the attack frequency before the Yongye Army took the lead, when a new wave of soldiers comes in, their new round of attacks will arrive. They will conduct a new round of cleaning up the remaining soldiers, and then attack the soldiers who are preparing to go ashore.
Get back before the soldiers go into weakness.
Then another wave of effective forces came up to launch a new round of sniping.
But this time, the remaining soldiers from the previous wave had already built fortifications on the shoal, and the other party had no intention of launching any attack.
Only the rain of arrows was still falling sparsely.
"No, they are about to withdraw!" Akmeser finally lost his coldness and his expression changed slightly, "Attack, take the initiative, and be sure to entangle them."
The Kingsley family flag waved and gave the order to the soldiers on the shoal to attack proactively.
This confused the low-level officers on the front line for a while.
"Hell, are they giving blind orders? In this case, shouldn't we stick to it? How come they gave the order to take the initiative?"
"These bastards, can't they understand the situation? From the beginning to the end, they have been suppressing us and fighting. Now that the other party has not attacked forward, God has blessed us. They even ordered us to take the initiative to attack. Our numbers are not enough.
The other party stuffed it between his teeth."
"Isn't it because the order was wrong?"
"Yes, it is indeed an order to attack on all fronts, and it is to fight to the death."
"Fight to the death? Do they regard us brothers as human beings? We have already fought hard like this, and we still want to fight to the death? Are we brothers going to risk our lives here?"
The Kingsley family's command flag was waved several times in succession, and then the Kingsley family soldiers came out from behind the bunker sparsely and began to assemble.
The reason for their resistance was because they were frightened from top to bottom by the fierce offensive led by the Yongye Army.
If they don't attack us, it's a blessing from the true God.
Not to mention taking tens of thousands of people to attack the camp defended by the opponent's three major legions. Isn't this killing an egg with a stone?
But military orders cannot be violated, so they can only use this delaying tactic.
When they gathered together and launched a counterattack, it was already more than half an hour later. Akmesser on the dragon battleship was in a hurry and stamped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.
By this time, even the low-ranking officers of the Kingsley family noticed something was wrong.
Not only did the Yong Ye army leader delay in launching an attack, but also because the rain of arrows that had not stopped from beginning to end became increasingly sparse and stopped completely a quarter of an hour ago.
The entire battlefield was eerily quiet, with only the billowing smoke still rising.
After the Kingsley family burned down the reed swamp where the Yong Ye Army leader first hid.
The leader of the Yongye Army used another ingenuity to lift the incompletely burned log rafts in their direction.
The first is to clear obstacles, and the second is to use them to artificially create a fog of war so that the Kingsley family cannot observe their situation.
This is why the Kingsley family can't figure out which legion the Eternal Night Army will use to attack in the next wave, nor what tricks they are hiding behind them.
It's not that Akmesser didn't want to send people to clean up these obstructive things, but the problem was that they couldn't even stand on their feet, let alone send people to clean them up.
The previous method of setting fire to the reed marsh was not easy to use. After all, even dry logs were troublesome to burn, let alone that they were not dry and had been soaked in water for such a long time.
Has the other party already retreated?
Those low-ranking officers of the Kingsley family who sensed something was wrong came up with such speculations.
But the opponent still has the advantage, why would they retreat at this time?
Did Marshal Akmeser give the order to launch a full-scale attack at this time? Could it be that he had already guessed something? Or that he had prepared some back-up move and had already launched it?
The more I think about the last possibility, the more likely it becomes.
Akmesser's conduct style is rigorous, and it is impossible for him to be unprepared for being sniped when he lands.
Even if I was unprepared at the beginning and was sniped for such a long time, I would not fight to the end without thinking.
Perhaps a partial army had already been sent ashore not far away, and they could go around behind the enemy and attack from both front and rear.
The more I think about it, the more likely it is.
Because of their hesitation, they missed the best opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
"For the sake of the family, for the sake of glory, go for it!"
A low-level officer shouted loudly, raised his sword high, and led his team towards the enemy camp shrouded in fog.
"For the sake of the family, for the sake of glory, go for it!"
The other junior officers who reacted were not willing to be outdone and rushed to the front.
The area covered by black smoke is not large, and it only takes three seconds to rush through it while holding your breath.
In fact, many people already regretted it when they launched the charge.
After all, this is just my own guess. What if the enemy has created a confusing formation to lure them into taking the bait, and when they rush over, what if they are waiting for an airtight sword and shield formation?
Judging from the strategies and tactics revealed before the Yongye Army took the lead, this situation was not only possible, but also highly likely.
But the situation at hand no longer allowed them to hesitate. Even if they didn't want to rush forward, the people behind them would push them forward.
"call!"
These junior officers of the Kingsley family, who were imagining various possibilities in their minds, breathed a sigh of relief. The situation was not the worst one.
They faced an empty camp, and the last of the opponent's troops had already evacuated for who knows how long.
"kill!"
Another burst of shouts of killing came.
Groups of soldiers came out from the reeds on the side of the camp, which really shocked these Kingsley soldiers.
"Don't attack, we are one of our own and friendly forces!"
The low-ranking officers of the Kingsley family hurriedly restrained their soldiers.
Although these soldiers who had just emerged looked like clay monkeys, the flags they carried and the armor they wore were exactly the same as them. They all belonged to the Kingsley family's Eastern Army.
Their previous guesses were correct.
Akmesser indeed launched a double-line landing, sent a partial army, detoured back to the lower reaches, looked for a suitable place to land, and then attacked from the side to entangle them.
At that time, not only will the landing be successful or not, Akmeser also wants to take the opportunity to bite a piece of meat from the leader of the Yongye Army.
But I didn't expect that Yong Ye's military leader would be so vigilant and so decisive.
Akmeser has not yet received news that the partial troops are in position, so they have already withdrawn first.
Therefore, even if the entire Kingsley family's eastern expedition army had completely landed on the east coast, Akmesser was still not happy. After all, the heavy punch he had carefully prepared was completely hit in the air.
In the game with the leader of the Eternal Night Army, Akmesel felt like he was one step behind at every turn.
Their landing point was exposed and they were targeted by the opponent's sniper attack, which was not unexpected.
After all, the Donau River is suitable for large-scale army landing sites, and there are only a few, and there are even fewer options near Brother Port.
As long as the opponent keeps an eye on the movement direction of their army, it can be easily guessed.
It’s not like Akmesser has not considered dispersing landings across the board.
However, the danger of doing so is not much smaller. When the time comes, the crocodile tribesmen will be able to defeat them one by one without the Yongye Army leading the troops.
If we compare the number of people alone, the Kingsley family is still inferior to the local crocodiles.
It's easy to guess where the army will land, but it's not so easy for those who are partial to the army.
After all, the scale was small, and they landed randomly. Before receiving the message from the mountain eagle, Akmeiser didn't know where and when they landed.
How did the leader of the Yongye Army accurately estimate the arrival time of the Eastern Expeditionary Army?
Does the Yongye Army Leader really have the ability to conduct aerial reconnaissance?
Only in this way can we explain the reason why they are leading every step of the way.
All the Kingsley Family Expeditionary Force came ashore and plowed a ten-kilometer radius before Akmesser moved down from the dragon carcass battleship.
Without stopping, Akmeser took his personal guards and went straight to the station in front of the Yongye Army, hoping to learn more about his opponent from here.
This first confrontation had allowed him to fully understand the differences between the Yongye Army Leader and the Crocodile Tribe people.
Although the Crocodile Tribe's army is huge, it will only be that much when it comes to fighting.
In the previous bloody battle at the mouth of the Kirigakure Lake, their elites had suffered heavy losses, and their spines had been completely broken.
It is difficult to organize another bloody battle like before.
The confrontation just now also illustrates this point. From beginning to end, it was the Yongye army leader who charged in the front, while the Crocodile tribesmen only provided long-range support from behind.
Although the number of the Yongye Army's leading troops is not large, their elites are formidable, regardless of their equipment or training level.
There is no need for more such armies, if only there are two more.
There is simply no way to fight this battle.
Even if the Kingsley family and the Commons family unite, there is no possibility of swallowing up the Swamp of Despair.
At best, they can rule across the river with the Yong Ye army leader, each occupying one side. This is still relying on the Commons family fleet.
However, this possibility is almost zero.
It is not just a matter of how long the Yongye Army Leader has been established, but also a matter of support.
Even with the wealth of the Kingsley family, supporting 50,000 heavy armored infantry is already the limit of what they can do.
This is the result of their accumulation over countless years.
Only lords who have actually supported heavy armored infantry will know that this thing is completely made of money.
Not to mention the heavy armor they are wearing, it is something that even ten low-income families cannot afford. Many knights of modest means want to buy a new heavy armor for themselves, and they have to sell iron for sale.
On the verge of bankruptcy, more are passed down from generation to generation.
Let’s just talk about the heavy armored infantry itself.
Those who can wear heavy armor must be strong people, which also means they can eat. Especially when training with heavy armor, one person consumes three to five times the daily food of ordinary people. Don't be too simple.
Once they become professional, not only do they have to be paid a salary, they are basically out of work and have no way to create material value for the territory.
With many first-level barons and a territory of more than ten thousand people, it is already quite impressive to be able to support a small group of heavily armored soldiers.
How many people can the Eternal Night Army Leader have now?
No matter how aggressive they are, they will never be able to arm a hundred thousand soldiers.
The leader of the Yongye Army has always shown that he is working step by step. Although their leader is young, he is horribly experienced in all aspects and should not make such a low-level mistake.
However, Akmesser still tried his best to be as careful as possible.
Akmeser's reconnaissance of the temporary camp of the Yong Ye Army leader yielded very little results. Their commander was also an extremely cautious person. He took away all the things that could be taken away, and piled up the things that could not be taken away.
Burned to the ground.
It's really hard to find useful information from a pile of burned remains.
The only gain is that Akmesel found a way for them to move quickly.
There is a small lake just five kilometers away, which can directly cut into the water network on the east bank of the Despair Swamp. After they retreated here, they took a boat directly, and Akmesser and the others couldn't pursue them even if they wanted to.
Without the cover of the Commons family battleship, the Kingsley family wading alone was simply seeking death.
According to the original plan, the Commons family fleet took the water route, and the Kingsley family pushed up along the banks of the Donau River, advancing both by land and water, until it reached the port of Brothers.
First, the Kingsley family destroyed all the giant trebuchets along the coast of Brother Port, and then the Commons family launched a full-scale attack, blocking the waterways and completely blocking the routes in and out of the Eternal Night Army, leaving the Crocodile tribe isolated and helpless. The Kingsley family then launched a full-scale attack
Attack and kill them all.
Although the process was a bit complicated and the casualties were a bit heavy, they had already completed the first step, right?
After the Eastern Expeditionary Army landed, they did not set off immediately, but waited for a large amount of supplies to be delivered.
The soldiers and horses will move forward before food and grass are moved.
The Kingsley family is now deep in the enemy's heartland. If they continue to stretch their supply lines like before, it will only take a matter of minutes for them to be robbed.
Letting him move with the army is the most correct choice.
This wait lasted another three days.
The landing site chosen by the Kingsley family is not far from Brother Port, with a straight-line distance of no more than 20 kilometers.
But when you start walking, that's not the case anymore.
Along the way, the Yong Ye Army Leader was full of surprises for them.
They used the trick that belonged to the hunters again, laying traps all along the way.
Most of these traps are not fatal, but they can injure people.
Once a heavily armored soldier injures his leg or foot, the war will basically end, and he will become an outright burden, slowing down their already slow progress.
If you pass by a place with water, you should be even more careful.
Maybe a few or even a dozen warships would appear and rain down arrows on them.
Night attacks came one after another.
There are truths and lies.
When they were careless, soldiers from the Yongye Army actually rushed out and killed them.
When they tensed their nerves, most of them were bluffing, and there were a few Yongye soldiers or Crocodile tribesmen beating gongs and drums to scare them.
It's hard to guard against the false and true, and it can take more than a dozen sessions a night, making them exhausted.
The entire army dragged on for two days over a short distance of twenty kilometers.
It's only twenty kilometers, which is really not far.
No matter how much harassment the Yongye military leaders tried, they still could not stop the Kingsley family from encircling Brother Port.
Seeing the target they were about to attack, even Akmesser, who had experienced many battles, couldn't help but take a breath of air. He couldn't help but ask, did the opponent really only build this city for two years?
No wonder Akmesser has such doubts. Even if only a quarter of the Brother Port is completed, it is still majestic and frightening. Many city castles that have been built for decades or even hundreds of years are not as large as it is now.
As mentioned before, the location of Brother Port is at the intersection of a tributary of the Donau River.
The built part belongs to the lower half of the intersection.
The leader of the Yongye Army and the Crocodile Tribe cut off the entire tip of the intersection and enclosed it within Brother Port, forming an irregular triangle.
Whether it is the river bank near the Donau River in the west or the river bank near the Bazhu River in the north, they have filled it with earth and dug it deeply, turning it into a harbor for berthing ships.
Visual inspection shows that the length of these two ports is no less than five kilometers.
This is only one-third of the planned Brother Port. If it is fully built, how grand will it be?
How many ships can be berthed at one time?
However, from the perspective of geographical location, the Yongye Army Leader definitely has a strategic vision. It is not only a military chokepoint, but also an economic chokepoint.
Through the Bazhu River, they can enter the complex water network of the Despair Swamp, and all kinds of boats can travel unimpeded, and can even reach the coastal areas directly.
Needless to say, the Donau River can directly reach the South China Sea, and through it, it can control and penetrate the relatively narrow west bank of the Swamp of Despair, allowing the troops to reach the area they want to go as quickly as possible.
