Chapter 273
They let out a violent gasp and kept looking back.
They sweated so hard because of fear and fatigue.
There is death chasing them.
Soon it was the sound of mechanical scoops.
A scout running wildly fell to the ground immediately.
"Damn it, we shouldn't be here." A scout whispered.
As elite scouts, they are responsible for coming to investigate the environment of Xinyue Port.
To assist in subsequent login operations.
But not long after they arrived, they met the god of death.
A female thief wearing a mask and dark purple leather armor.
There were several teams when they came, and now that's all.
The companions fell one by one.
Elsa pulled out a crossbow arrow from a fallen corpse.
Installed on a small hand crossbow.
Pull up the bowstring, aim, and pull the trigger.
Then another scout fell down.
Elsa is better at daggers, but it is not necessary to deal with these people.
"If you say something, you might get the opportunity to reform labor." Elsa's nice voice reached the ears of the desperate scout.
This is the voice of death.
Hearing that there was a chance to surrender, several scouts knelt down and begged for mercy.
None of them dared to continue running away.
Elsa slowly walked out of the shadow.
"Tell me."
Elsa knew very well that these scouts would not know much.
but.
It is already a message to send a scout to Xianyue Port.
This means that the Kingdom of Pollen does have ideas about the Port of Thresh Moon.
Elsa plans to install more crossbows on the coastline next.
As Rand ordered the development of longbows, a small breakthrough in the technology of the crossbows made, and the power of the bed crossbows has become greater.
Originally, in order to deal with Naga, there were many crossbows on the coastline of Xinyue Port, and now it is just increasing the number.
As long as it can suppress the landing troops.
Chapter 363 Familiar digging tactics
There are two castles at the border between Rand's Earl's Corps and the Kingdom of Poron.
The two castles are located at the junction of the Count of the Moon Phase and the Kingdom of Polun, showing a trend of watching and helping each other.
On the other side, there is a line of defense that has been completed or not fully completed.
The Battle of Zhufeng really defeated many nobles of the Poron Kingdom.
They built a long line of defense on the border with the Earl of Moon Phase.
Rand built a line of defense when he blocked the Snow Fox Earl.
This line of defense has not been removed yet.
Later, the Snow Fox Earl was defeated by Rand in the defense line war and began to build a defense line.
That line of defense did hinder Rand from robbing the Snow Fox Earl's Corps to a certain extent.
Then there is the line of defense built by the nobles of the Kingdom of Poron on the border.
Not all of them have been completed, but they can already form an effective defense.
Of course, the premise is that Rand will really attack this line of defense.
But Rand obviously had no plans.
Rand moved a chair and sat on the head of a castle on the border.
Use the crow's perspective to look down from the sky.
The vanguard of the Kingdom of Poron had crossed the defense line established by the nobles of the Kingdom of Poron.
It seems like I want to launch a surprise attack strategy, but it's too slow.
"Hahaha." Rand laughed.
He feels fair now.
In this era, the opponent's movement speed has actually been very fast, and it is common for poor strategic results for various reasons.
For example, when we gathered, we found that the troops provided by our nobles were all trash soldiers and other types.
That's what Rand is like.
Rand's domestic support for his many troops, but most of them were useless recruits.
There are about 350 knights left.
But when he pulled it over, Rand found that some of them were temporarily caught to make up the numbers. The horses were slow horses rather than war horses, and their weapons and armor were all inferior iron tools, which was no different from paper.
After removing the garbage.
Rand found that there were only about 200 knights that could be used.
These people were basically provided by Grand Duke Thorn and the King.
The Grand Duke of Thorns provided the majority of them, and the King provided the minority of them.
The nobles in the Frost Moon Kingdom basically made up for Rand.
In fact, this is understandable. The orc problem in the northern border is far from being completely solved.
The knights and soldiers sent by the nobles from the country to the north have not yet retreated.
Now the situation in the Frost Moon Kingdom is still tense again.
The nobles actually didn't have much surplus food.
Of course, this doesn't prevent Rand from remembering them.
As for the Kingdom of Poron.
Rand estimated that the nobles in the Kingdom of Poron were procrastination.
It seems that they want to implement the blitzkrieg tactic, but the organizational strength of the Poron Kingdom is obviously not enough to implement the blitzkrieg tactic.
This is not considered a croaker, but the overall level of both sides is not too clever.
Rand sat comfortably on the top of the city and enjoyed the black tea made by Elsa.
The troops he could command this time were divided into two groups.
Here, Rand and Fenris guarded the territory in two castles, fighting against the invading army of the Kingdom of Poron.
The other group is in Xinyue Port. The military affairs of Xinyue Port are unified by Tan Er, and Ellie and Olena are also in Xinyue Port, responsible for affairs other than military affairs.
"Add some sugar, add some sugar." Rand glared after taking a sip.
After Elsa inspected in Xinyue Port, she came back to report, but unfortunately she was not very good at making tea.
Elsa added some candy to Lander awkwardly.
Rand pinched Elsa's elastic fingers and looked at the map.
Then he looked back at the city and said helplessly: "Let everyone relax a little, don't be so nervous."
Originally, Rand was a little angry when he saw that the nobles in China really provided him with a slander.
But now after seeing that the situation on the other side was not much better, Rand felt relieved.
From this point of view, the organizational strength of Bai Zhiguo is very strong, maybe the prestige of Bai Zhiguo is indeed great.
But Rand's soldiers were very nervous and hated about the invading army of the Kingdom of Poron.
Rand brought them an unimaginable life.
The enemy on the opposite side obviously wanted to take it away.
For Rand, this was just a normal border friction war. He knew that the king of the Poron Kingdom wanted to kill him, but Rand was not particularly so-called.
He had previously opened up so many lands in the Kingdom of Poron, but it is normal for the Kingdom of Poron to fight back.
But for Rand's soldiers, and for many villagers in the villages that Rand had preached.
They will only know, and only understand, that someone wants to take away their life that is slowly becoming better.
So they share the same hatred of the enemy.
Outside the castle, nearly a thousand knights appeared in the wild.
Seeing the flags flying on the city and the soldiers waiting for battle, the knights' commander's face was gloomy.
"It's really too slow."
They had already gathered, but because they were worried about the assassination of strong men on the other side, many domestic military nobles were unwilling to serve as commanders, and they shirked responsibility for each other and delayed for a long time.
Going to the battlefield is the obligation of the nobles, and dying in the battlefield is also a glory, but being assassinated in shame is not included.
And that is, the nobles in the south have a more comfortable life than the nobles in the north.
Not all nobles are "brave".
Many aristocratic families have been passed down from generation to generation and have become more focused on diplomacy and internal affairs.
Brave is slowly moving away.
The situation in the Kingdom of Poron has been calculated, and even the southern countries have to abandon more courage.
After all, the warm climate can support the land to plant three-ripe crops, and the yield of rice will be much higher than that of wheat.
They want to be much richer.
The king of the Kingdom of Poron considered this problem quite timely and sent strong men to the Order to protect the safety of the noble commanders, the Order finally dispatched.
Unfortunately, Rand's army is also very fast. Can you only say that he is worthy of being the Earl of Rand?
The commander of the Knights ordered the bypass of the castle.
The knights of the Knights can dismount and attack the city in the field, but that is when the military strength is strong enough or the situation is too urgent.
Letting the knights siege the city now is a waste of life.
Rand was still sitting in the seat at the top of the city, not in a hurry.
Rand is good at defensive tactics.
Soon, the Knights who were planning to bypass the city were blocked by tripping horse ropes and pits.
The best way to block cavalry is to dig the road and set up a trippy rope.
Rejecting horses is also very effective, but refusing horses is not concealed.
Rand was still looking at the map.
Rand does a lot of homework every time he fights.
This time is no exception.
The map is full of Rand's marks.
"Get out of the city, don't chase too far." Rand ordered, "The longbower starts shooting."
