Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Chapter 8: combat readiness

"Quick, quick, run."

In Mofang Village, twenty miles away from Ironwood City, the sheriff called out a group of young and strong villagers.

"The whole team, stand at attention."

"Report"

"one two Three…"

"Report to the sheriff, there should be 56 members of the Mill Village Guard, but 56 people actually arrived, please issue an order."

In the mill village under the rule of Tiemucheng, a group of peasants and soldiers are gathering in the square.

They each have an iron-wood spear, and some people carry hunting bows on their backs, but they wear a variety of clothes. Some people wear cotton-padded jackets and a rattan armor made of sword grass, and some people wear leather armor and leather helmets. , and even a few people even put some iron pieces on the leather armor.

Although the equipment is various, the formation is decent, and although they are a little nervous, their morale is still high. They are a little more eager than most of the numb peasants in the territory.

"turn right"

"Stay in formation and run to Ironwood City."

Soon the villagers left the village and set out for Ironwood City, leaving only the old and weak women and children who were seeing off as soon as they reached the backs that were gradually receding.

And this scene happened in dozens of villages under Hunter's rule at the same time.

Compared with the procrastination of the Weir collar, the mobilization of the Hunter collar is much faster and more efficient.

Under the instruction of Li Cha, with Ironwood City as the center, it spread to dozens of surrounding villages. During the non-farm busy season, it organizes civilians to conduct basic combat training every month, and has a complete combat mobilization system.

Now the war machine that Richard has built over the years is about to show its fangs for the first time.

A few days later, all the peasants and soldiers in Tiemu Ling and the militia in Tiemu City had assembled. It was obvious that the equipment of the militiamen in Tiemu City was better than that of the peasants and soldiers in the village.

Most of the militiamen in Ironwood City wore leather armor, and even a few wore old and damaged iron armor, but except for an iron wood gun that was issued by the territory, other equipment was brought with them, and the Hunter family did not. will ask.

In order to save their lives, everyone tried their best to prepare some armor for themselves, but even the rare items such as iron armor appeared, which also showed that some people did get rich first under Li Cha's governance.

At this moment in Ironwood Castle, the main members of the Hunter family and the centurions of the Ironwood City Guard are in the council hall for an important post-war battle deployment.

It was rare for Richard to sit on the main seat and give orders, while Viscount Sauter sat in the second seat and waited for Richard's arrangement.

"Second and third uncles took cavalry to cover the flank to prevent Will's cavalry from attacking our flank."

"Yes"

"Father and I lead the guard together."

Of course, the knights should be used together and crushed in an invincible manner, rather than being scattered and being broken down individually.

"it is good"

Richard used the soldiers produced by the system as personal guards alone. This group of absolutely loyal and fearless soldiers are definitely the best guards.

"Kecha, you lead the newly recruited city guards and some militiamen to guard the Ironwood City and maintain order."

The city guards in Tiemucheng originally had 300 people, all of them veterans who had been trained for a long time. This time, the newly recruited 200 people, Li Cha, planned to let them guard in Tiemucheng to prevent accidents. After all, Tiemucheng couldn't leave no one at all.

Rushingly adding new recruits without long-term training into the team may also reduce the overall combat capability and have the opposite effect.

"I want to fight together."

Kecha is the son of Richard's second uncle. He is a few years older than Richard and is a new prospective knight.

Kecha is very convinced of this cousin, Richard. He has never questioned Richard's decision in the past. This time he was really in a hurry. uncomfortable.

"Cousin, women and children are in the city, and it is just as important to protect them."

"Yes"

Speaking of which, Kocha couldn't say anything else.

After continuing to arrange a few things, Richard let the others go away, but left Kecha alone.

"Is my cousin dissatisfied with my arrangement?"

"No"

This is the truth. At most, Kecha complained. If he really had any dissatisfaction with Richard, it would not be enough.

Li Cha nodded, not bothering about this topic.

"There are so many people, I can trust my cousin more." There were not many people in the Hunter family, and even fewer were able to fight. .

"If the war is unfavorable, Cousin Kecha will protect the women and children in the fort, and retreat to the Ironwood Forest as a free citizen according to the plan. Butler Iger has stored enough supplies there."

Before thinking about winning, think about losing first.

Although Richard has full confidence in this war, his cautious personality also allows him to prepare a response plan in the event of a worst-case scenario.

Li Cha is a person who is used to planning everything. All things should be under his control. No matter what kind of accident occurs, he must deal with it calmly, and he cannot be in a hurry.

"Yes"

Although Kecha also wanted to go to the front line to fight, Li Cha made it very clear, and he also understood the importance of his mission.

After everyone dispersed, Richard walked to the attic high in the Ironwood Castle alone.

Looking out, the entire Ironwood City is in sight.

Neat houses, spacious streets, horse-drawn carriages, and troops assembled on the school grounds.

There are also endless ironwood forests and fields in the distance.

Ignoring the high wind blowing his hair, looking at everything in front of him, Li Cha was filled with surging pride.

The situation in the mainland will be stirred up with the first ripples from now on.

In the boulder castle, the candles in Viscount Will's room illuminated the whole room brightly.

The intelligence gathered by the Ironwood City army had already been reported by spies.

Hunter Leader's movements were so fast that it made him feel uneasy. The peasants and quasi-knights of the Will family had gathered so far only 4,000 people.

Viscount Will went on his horse to fight against the people. He was not an aristocrat without common sense. He naturally understood what an efficient mobilization and preparation speed meant.

An ominous premonition has been lingering in my heart. However, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent. Unless you are willing to become a vassal of the Hunter family, this battle cannot be avoided after all.

"call"

After blowing out the candles in the room heavily, Viscount Will lay on the bed, forcing himself to fall asleep as soon as possible to maintain the best condition.

Under the night, both territories were restless in this darkness.
