After Flynn and his army rested in the castle for two days, the spy who had been monitoring reported that the mob began to move towards the castle.

Evidently, the mob, whose demands were not met, attempted to capture the castle and repeat the glorious deeds of its kind that had driven out the previous Earl of Las West.

The battle is about to break out. Flynn believes that these mobs with low combat effectiveness are very suitable as experimental subjects for the new army to enter the battlefield for the first time. Therefore, the main force of the battle will be borne by the new army, and the mercenaries will be temporarily liberated.

After both sides entered the predetermined battlefield, the wilderness was crowded with black troops.Compared with the disorganized mobs, the uniformly dressed new army looked particularly pleasing to the eye, and even the spears they were equipped with shone with the same light in the sun.

Just judging from the simple appearance comparison, Flynn has high hopes for this new army that has invested a lot of money and energy, and it depends on whether they can perform to the expected level in the next battle.

Flynn led his men on the hillside to observe the movements on the battlefield. In order to prevent Svolki's tragedy from happening again, all the retinues and cavalry were used to protect his personal safety, while the mercenaries were deployed at the rear of the new army as a The supervisory army prevents people from fleeing out of fear. If things go wrong, they have to take over the retreating new army and continue to fight against the mob.

Despite multiple insurances, Flynn was still very nervous. If the new army performed poorly, his early investment would become a joke.

Staring at the army in the distance, Flynn issued an order to Baron Hayden, "Tell the soldiers that after the war begins, they are only allowed to advance and not retreat. All deserters will be directly executed."

Baron Hayden understood Flynn's concerns and comforted him, "Please rest assured that all soldiers will use their utmost courage to fight the enemy bravely and will not let down your high expectations."

"I hope so," Flynn murmured.

At this time, the formation of the mob began to change, and farmers holding wooden sticks and dung forks or hoes began to charge towards the new army.

The battle was about to begin, and Flynn's eyes became determined. Success or failure depended on the performance of the new army soldiers.

According to the previous arrangement, more than 1000 new troops were divided into two vertical and four horizontal arrays. The soldiers in the front row will meet the enemy's first wave of impact. Under the order of the messenger, the soldiers raised their shields and spears. , forming a shield wall full of spikes to deal with the mob that is about to pounce.

The columns on both wings should keep a certain distance to avoid being involved in the impact range. After the enemy officially engages in battle, they will outflank the enemy to form a final encirclement.

Flynn's plan is to wipe out the mob here in one fell swoop and commemorate the new army's first battle with a comprehensive and glorious victory.

The key to achieving this goal is whether the soldiers on the front can withstand the enemy's impact, intercept them, and stabilize their own front.

The mob without any command had no idea of ​​the mystery of the new army's formation. They didn't care about tactics. Everyone instinctively followed the footsteps of the people around them and ran forward desperately, trying to use their shouts and momentum to defeat the enemies in front of them. scare away.

After approaching the new army for a certain distance, the enemy's face was clearly visible. Facing the approaching enemy, the formation of the soldiers in the front row began to fluctuate slightly. Some timid guys began to try to shrink back and pull away from the approaching enemy as much as possible. Keep distance.

"Stabilize the formation"

"Don't move around, keep your shield up"

The Sorel mercenary who was temporarily appointed as the captain yelled at the soldiers not to waver.

Finally, after a brief charge, the fastest rioters who were about to come into contact with the soldiers' defense line found that the opponent's formation was still not loose, and their bodies were about to hit the spears sticking out of the gaps in the shield wall. They panicked and tried to stop. However, his footsteps were pushed by his companions who were following behind him, and he was bumped into uncontrollably.

As the screams rang out, the two sides officially entered the battle. Under the shouts of the captains, the soldiers hiding behind the shields instinctively followed their usual training to save their lives and thrust their spears outwards with every blow. They can easily kill a human life.

The crude weapons of the mob were unable to cause enough damage to the soldiers hiding behind the shields. The initial attack did not even break through the first line of defense of the new army, and they fell into a brutal fight.

The stabbings of the soldiers' spears caused the mob to suffer heavy casualties. The mob, which was too crowded and unable to distance itself, could only fight with their unprotected bodies and inferior weapons, trying to push away the constant thrusts. Spears for hand-to-hand combat.But even if they were lucky enough to escape the thrust of one of the spears, it would be difficult for them to have enough space to avoid the second, third, and fourth spears thrust from other directions. Therefore, people continued to be easily killed inside the shield wall. outside.

If the enemy has well-equipped cavalry or archers who can suppress it from a distance, the thin first line of defense of the new army will not be able to last for so long. However, the mob is not a regular army after all. Without other means of restraint, they can only sacrifice their lives. The soldiers' lag time was getting closer and closer.

After the mob relied on their numerical advantage to close the final distance, the spears could no longer effectively kill the enemies at close range. The soldiers hurriedly dropped their spears and drew their swords, slashing at the mobs at close range. Both sides quickly A melee.

After the two flanking columns began to outflank the enemy's rear, the mob quickly began to waver, and some clever guys began to escape towards the gaps in the encirclement that had not yet been closed.

The morale of the mob, which had never been able to break through the first line of defense of the soldiers, began to decline rapidly. After all, even if they broke through the first line of defense, there would still be second, third, and fourth fronts waiting for them to fight.For the mob, which had already suffered heavy casualties, it was simply an impossible task.

When the two wings of infantry finally surrounded the mob's beloved concubine, the battle turned into a one-sided massacre, and the mob, which had lost its fighting spirit, completely collapsed.

Finally, after observing that the overall situation was decided, Flynn finally sent the cavalry around him into battle for the final blow, using his speed advantage to chase down the fleeing mob across the mountains and plains.

Victory came too easily. With the disparity in strength between the two sides, a simple tactic allowed the new army to achieve huge results.

According to post-war statistics, the New Army basically wiped out nearly 100 enemies with less than [-] casualties. Except for the unlucky ones who were killed by the soldiers, most of the mob became prisoners and managed to escape from the battlefield. less than one-tenth.With a battle loss ratio of close to one to thirty, it can be said to be a well-deserved brilliant victory.

The mob group that was once so powerful that it forced Viscount Westray to shut himself up was completely wiped out.

Flynn could finally feel relieved. Although the victory of the new army was a bit too weak because the opponent was too weak, victory was a victory after all. The dark clouds that had been hanging over him since Svolki's defeat also dissipated. Went to part of it.

The key reason why it is part of the problem is that the homeless people in the north have not been solved yet, but with the new army to rely on, Flynn feels that his waist can be straightened a lot.Medieval White Elf Story
