"Perhaps we can defend Westerweiler. We have enough manpower to defend." Baron Hayden suggested. Defending the city sounds much easier.

Flynn shook his head. He did not want to passively pin his hopes on defensive counterattacks. He explained to the Baron, "We are not the masters of this city. It is difficult to defend for a long time."

There is no way, even if there is basically no such thing as national consciousness or national identity in this era, it is not feasible to expect the lizard people in the city to obey the orders of the white elves and fight to the death with their own lords and tribesmen. Reality.

"But the Duke of Chernia has a lot of troops, and they have enough warriors. It is difficult for our army to withstand their charge in the wild." Baron Hayden pointed out that the advantage of defensive warfare is that it can offset the enemy's strength. Advantage.

"If we stay inside the city, the enemy's cavalry will be useless and we will avoid the biggest threat."

Whether it is a cavalry composed of warriors or ordinary retinues, Flynn's numbers are far less than that of Rolandas, who is a majestic duke lord. Even if the Chernia region is relatively barren, it is far less than that of Old Tibes or Old Tibes. For someone as wealthy and powerful as Umber, it would be more than enough to pull out [-] cavalrymen.

When the new army faces mobs or homeless people, they can rely on training and organization to fight against them.But if you want to fight against the large number of cavalry, it is seriously insufficient. Even Flynn has to admit that Baron Hayden's consideration is very reasonable.

There are many examples of pure infantry units fighting against enemies with cavalry in the wild and winning. However, behind these glorious victories are countless negative teaching materials about the same operation but being overwhelmed by a wave of cavalry and defeated.

Before traveling through time, Flynn was brainwashed by many novels. He believed that the infantry could stab the charging cavalry as long as they formed a spear formation. He couldn't take care of himself and could easily explode these cans.However, after traveling through time and having real contact with the soldiers of this era, they realized how ridiculous this idea was.

Not to mention that the cavalry troops rarely foolishly attack the infantry's spears head-on. If they slap their foreheads and just think about it, they can stop the humanoid tanks rushing towards them at full speed by holding a wooden pole against their bodies and staying there. It's simply whimsical. The guy who can come up with such an idea must have never tried the consequences of standing on the road and colliding with a car traveling at full speed.

Although few commanders would use cavalry to play kite tactics in the several battles Flynn participated in, it does not mean that the warriors would foolishly rush over and then stay there waiting to be stabbed over by spears. They would always do it. Movement, it is difficult for the infantry to do anything with these solid iron cans protected by a full set of armor.

Relying on human lives is basically a helpless way for infantry to deal with cavalry. The premise is that the number of infantry is large enough and can withstand this kind of attack that injures the enemy eighty and loses one thousand. This is obviously impossible for Flynn. of.

Artus also agreed with Baron Hayden's analysis. On the surface, both of them were on the same side as Flynn and agreed to fight Rolandas, but this did not mean that he was naive and believed that the Bain family had any chance of winning. Even if Flynn does win several battles, it cannot erase the reality gap between the two sides.

"The Duke of Chernia will always leave some of his troops to continue attacking our territory, so the enemies we need to face will not be all." Flynn was not sure about the defensive battle and analyzed, "The gap in the number of our troops is not large. It must be that big.”

Flynn's current strength of troops is not much different from before he set off. His opponents are not very strong and he has not fought any tough battles. He didn't lose many men even when he captured Westerwelle, so he still has more than 600 men after all battles are completed. Excluding the wounded, there were more than 2000 or two hundred.

According to the information gathered during this period, Rolandas's military strength is estimated to be around 1 to [-]. According to conservative estimates, he brought [-] people back to deal with him, so the gap between the two sides is also one to five.Considering that Rolandas, like other nobles of this era, likes to use cheap and unreliable militia to support the situation, Flynn feels that the gap in numbers between the two sides is not as big as imagined, which is also the confidence for him to want to fight Rolandas outside.

In a city defense battle, although the opponent's cavalry loses the threat, the opponent's numerical advantage can be fully utilized, and it is not entirely to one's advantage.

"But they will definitely bring a sufficient number of warriors. Even if there are only two or three hundred people, it will be difficult for us to deal with them in the wild." Hayden reminded.

"That's right, so we can't give their cavalry room to play." Flynn's first thought was to take advantage of the enemy's coming from afar and launch a surprise attack. Anyway, he had already had his first bite of crab in the Southern Kingdom. , there is no reason not to continue doing this.

This proposal was fiercely opposed by the two barons in unison. At least there was an excuse to conquer the rebels when dealing with them. They did not abide by the rules of engagement and were reluctantly accepted. Now they are facing the dignified Chernia. Duke, if you try this trick again, even if you can get the banner of the Bain family, you will be in trouble.

Well, realizing that there was absolutely no way his two most trusted men would accept his proposal, Flynn had to give up the idea.

Baron Hayden continues to promote his defensive counterattack tactics. In his opinion, this is the only way to have a better chance of winning.Isn't Rolandas' idea to attack Las West due to lack of food? They definitely don't have enough food to support their long-term siege, and the key to the success or failure of the city defense lies in logistical support.

As for Flynn's concern that the lizardmen in the city might be a hidden danger, it was easy for Baron Hayden to solve it. He simply killed all the restless guys in advance. Was he afraid that someone would hold back when defending the city?

"Slaughtering the city will allow us to raise enough food and grass, and it will also improve the morale of the troops. The soldiers have received enough rewards, and they will be able to defend Westerwelle." The more Baron Hayden talked about it, the more he felt that his solution had many benefits. "And the enemy will definitely be afraid after they know that we slaughtered the city, which will help us fight them better."

Listening to Baron Hayden's righteous advice to engage in a massacre, Flynn was really confused. Baron Artus didn't even express any objections and apparently agreed with Hayden's proposal. This made him completely confused. I don't understand what's going on in these guys' heads.

Well, it's hard to explain to a group of guys who don't care about the lives of civilians. Flynn can only find another reason to decline Hayden's suggestion.

"The massacre will frighten the civilians, but it will also anger the Duke of Chernia. He will attack us even more desperately. And if we kill all the residents in the city, we will lack support even more." Flynn did not blame. How anti-human or inhumane Hayden's suggestion was. This approach was already the norm. Who would have the nerve to call himself a battlefield veteran without slaughtering several cities, so Flynn naturally couldn't teach Hayden a lesson with a white lotus face. "I will find another way to deal with the threat of their cavalry, but I still think the chance of fighting in the wild is better." Medieval White Elf Story
