On October 8, 1127, in the mainland calendar, Begowo’s colonial Pacantu Wasteland was sunny.

In order to repel the barbarian coalition forces, Lieutenant General Trond Olsen personally commanded the army to line up in the wasteland. Because there was not enough time to dig fortifications, the soldiers could only stand on the wasteland in three lines and put their guns. With his mouth facing forward, he used his body to form a fortified city wall.

Considering the firing angle of the artillery in the army, Trond deliberately found a place where the terrain was slightly elevated. The three lines of defense formed by the line infantry were backed by the high terrain array. The 80 artillery pieces of the two brigades were divided into Three parts, one part is deployed in a high place behind the line of defense (because the place is too small to be deployed, so the troops can only be divided), the other two parts are respectively deployed on the flanks of the line infantry line of defense, bombarding the enemy from the flanks, equipped with carbine The cavalry will **** around them to protect the safety of the artillery group.

On the eve of the war, Trond, heavily armed, stood on the central artillery position, watching the entire army front from behind. Because the naval guns could not support here, Sigurd did not arrive. Instead, he stayed in the temporary port to mobilize fleet sailors, ready to lead the sailors to support the ground battlefield. This is not impossible. Armed sailors are also equipped with flints. They fired their guns, and their melee skills were more adept than ordinary line infantry, but because the number of soldiers was small and they needed to take care of the warships, they didn't come with them.

At first, Tronde wanted to make an appointment with the enemy to fight on the coastline, but he did not have a suitable reason to change it, and he believed that the enemy would not be stupid enough to agree to his request. People were deeply impressed. As long as those Ansmara were not fools, they would certainly persuade the coalition forces to veto his request.

"Sir, the flanking artillery has been deployed." A voice sounded from behind him.

Listening to this familiar voice, Tronde did not turn his head to check. He nodded slightly and said, "I see, Ilke."

"Sir, my brothers are all eager to try, eager to fight against the natives on the continent of Zane, let them know the strength of our army."

"It's good to have confidence." Tronde smiled slightly. He turned around and waved for Ilke to walk next to him. He looked at the Kuyawi boy in military uniform, although his face was still wearing Immature, but already a qualified fighter, his brave performance proved his worth when he fought the Kuyavian Empire before.

Although Ilke didn’t notice it, Trond had faintly regarded him as his younger brother. If it weren’t for Butters’ greed, then his younger brother in the second brigade would surely be able to live to the present and follow him on an expedition to praise. En Continent, establish immortal achievements.

Thinking of this, his heart pierced.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Ilke walked up to him and asked aloud.

"No, it's nothing." He shook his head, and his calloused hands climbed onto Ilke's head, and ravaged his golden curly hair without a helmet. Ilke was embarrassed by his movements, but I dare not say anything.

At this moment, it seemed that he felt something general. Tronde retracted his hand that was doing the strange thing, and turned his head to look at the horizon where the heat wave could be vaguely seen. On the yellow sandy land, thick sand dust rises high with the movement of the black line, and envelopes the black line.

Trond's face changed slightly. Not only him, but the faces of the soldiers who saw this scene in the army also changed. They all knew what it meant-the indigenous coalition forces are here!

"The enemy is coming, ready to fight!"

The officers shouted loudly. Before their words fell, the soldiers in the queue moved one after another, keeping the queue tidy, while checking the firing status of the guns in their hands. Tronde watched all this, and Ilke beside him swallowed and asked, "Sir, where should I go?"

"Stay with me." Trond replied without hesitation. He raised the monocular telescope in front of his eyes and cast his eyes through the lens of the telescope to the enemy army nearly a thousand meters away. In addition to the crudely equipped infantry, the enemy can clearly see the rhino with a horn and the war elephant with a long nose!

"Damn it!"

After seeing rhinos and war elephants, Trond subconsciously scolded them. He put down his binoculars, and his eyes were full of fear of unknown creatures. He had only seen records of rhinos and war elephants in books that introduced the customs of the Zane continent. Although there are few descriptions of these two creatures widely used by natives in wars in the book, he can still see their threats at a glance.

"What's the matter, sir?" Seeing Trond's sudden swearing, Ilke, who had no binoculars beside him, asked quickly. Trond was not in the mood to explain to him. He looked at the adjutant behind him and ordered: " Kondela, tell the soldiers on the front line that once they see the beasts released by the enemy, they will set fire to me and shoot them, and they cannot be allowed to rush into the army!"

"Yes, sir." Although the adjutant did not understand the reason why Trond gave such an order, he saw that Trond looked serious and did not dare to delay, so he promised to turn around and leave.

After the adjutant left, Tronde looked at Ilke who was at a loss and frowned ~lightnovelpub.net~ and said: "Ilk, return to the team, what are you doing here?"

"Huh? Yes!"

...

At the same time, in the tribal coalition on the opposite side, the chiefs of the eleven tribes and Governor Ajit of Begovo rode their horses, looking at the expedition army of the Holy Roman Empire, which has already been lined up in the distance, and discussed at the same time. Follow the next tactics. The chiefs all decided to use rhino herds and war elephants as their forwards to tear apart the enemy's army, and then use massive infantry to follow the impact and tear the opening to expand the results. This is also their usual tactical style. The latter suffered a great loss in this war.

Ajit is well aware of the power of this tactic, so he does not intend to make other opinions. The strength of the Holy Roman Expeditionary Force is currently only manifested in the navy, and the combat effectiveness of the army is only heard from the hearsay, plus they are on the mainland. The record above allows to prove it. But even so, he still does not think that the expeditionary force can block the impact of the rhino herd and the elephants-even the solid heavy infantry phalanx can not stop it, relying on the soldiers without armor (the armor of the line infantry is covered by the outside The military uniform is shrouded, and it is not visible on the outside) It can be said to be wishful thinking to block the charge.

Ajit had no opinion, and the chiefs made a final decision.
