"Steady, steady, don't release arrows casually, let in more."
"Don't panic, there's a big car blocking the way! Those little things can't jump over."
"Even if you jump over, don't run around. There is an uncle here. I will definitely hit such a little thing with a sword. If you don't run away, you, uncle, I have killed more goblins in my life than cattle and sheep. This kind of bullying is afraid of the strong. A little villain, as long as you are more fierce than him, even if there are three of them together, they will turn around and run away when they see you."
Although she only had half of the night to prepare, Zalanda's arrangements were more detailed than Gavin's plan.
Except for the twelve regular cavalry and twenty heavily armed militiamen who stayed with her, the remaining thirty-two medium-armor militiamen were scattered by her, scattered among the civilian crossbowmen.
There are three benefits to doing this.
First, as the temporary captain, promptly convey the orders from above.
The second is to appease the morale of the military and use his rich experience in combat to dilute the nervousness of civilians during their first battle.
Third, it plays a beneficial protective role. Even if there is a fish that slips through the net and rushes into the civilian crossbow team, it will be quickly dealt with by them.
Although Zalanda has never read the book of war, his methods of doing things are consistent with the book of war.
"Free arrows!"
The crossbowmen behind Nott's city wall all stood up and fired nearly two hundred arrows and crossbows in one round. Twenty or thirty of the goblins charging outside the city fell instantly.
The Faerun people are different from the leisurely people on earth. They live in an environment where there are far more monsters than humans. Everyone will receive militia training to a certain extent, even women and children.
Shooting a bow and arrow is a daily routine for them, and it is nothing more than a matter of accuracy.
"Lance thrust!"
"Put away the spear!"
From behind the semi-arc car wall, orderly orders were heard. Countless spears were thrust out from behind the car wall, and then retracted in an orderly manner.
As soon as the thorn was closed, more than a dozen inattentive goblins were harvested.
The goblins who were still crowding behind them didn't react at all. Countless spears came out again and reaped another round.
Most goblins did not see the shadow of their enemies before they died.
"Human beings are treacherous, this is a trap, retreat... retreat..."
A burst of chirping goblin language came from the green-skinned dwarfs who rushed into the city cave.
Even people who don't understand goblin language can probably guess what they are talking about.
Another famous characteristic of goblins is that they are timid. When they do not have the upper hand in numbers, they turn around and run away. They do not have any psychological burden.
honor! responsibility!
There is no such concept in their minds.
Saving one's life always ranks first in their life philosophy.
But the problem is that the goblins who rushed in knew what was going on. The goblins outside the city, limited by their sight and distance, could not hear what was being said inside at all. They screamed one by one and rushed in along the city cave. .
Neither Zalanda's regular cavalry nor the twenty heavily armed militiamen were dispatched.
These goblins themselves crowded into a jam in the gate of Fort Nott.
The goblins inside can't rush out, and the goblins outside can't rush in for a while.
Seeing this situation, Zalanda would not easily dispatch heavily armed militiamen to clean up the incoming goblins. He would only order the spears behind the vehicle wall to stab at regular intervals, only to kill those goblins who dared to get too close. Ignore the others for now.
The arrows and crossbows on the top of the city kept spraying on the heads of the goblins outside. When the big goblins outside the city reacted, at least three to four hundred goblin corpses were left outside Nott City.
The charging goblin team was obviously much looser.
At this time, even the stupid goblin realized that something was not quite right.
Those who keep rushing forward are extremely stupid.
Hesitating on the spot is foolish and incomplete.
It is smarter to sneak back and sneak away.
"All troops attack!" Zalanda waved his hand heavily and rushed out at the lead.
The spear in Zalanda's hand seemed to come to life, dancing flexibly. In the blink of an eye, the three goblins standing in front of her were thrown away, and they were not far away from the vital parts of her chest. They were killed on the spot before they landed.
"Kill!" The first person to respond to Zalanda was not the twelve regular cavalry behind her, but Gavin, who had just begged a war horse from Zalanda not long ago. He was still wearing a patchwork suit and holding a It is also a spear, and its proficiency in wielding it is only better than Zalanda's.
In less than three rounds, both sides flew away all the goblins blocking the way and met in the middle of the small square in Northenburg.
"Follow me!" Zalanda just warned without any nonsense, then turned and headed towards the city cave.
Even if Zalanda didn't tell her, Gavin would do it, one horse behind her, guarding her like a knight.
At this time, the twelve regular cavalry from Nott Castle also came out in a cone formation.
These twelve regular cavalrymen are serious professional soldiers from Northenburg. They have followed Zalanda for many years, and they all have professional ranks. The worst ones are second-level warriors.
Zalanda and these twelve regular cavalry can also be regarded as a big spear.
Zalanda was the spearhead that thrust out, and the twelve cavalrymen were the barrels of the spears that shook back and forth, wildly expanding the killing area. Wherever they passed, the goblins were wiped out.
Because of the addition of Gavin, the number of gun heads became two, but his extraordinary spear skills and riding skills did not become a spoiler, but became an excellent escort, helping Zalanda reduce the resistance of the charge, allowing it to If you rush faster and more easily, the gun barrel behind you will naturally follow faster and more easily.
Then twenty heavily armed militiamen followed up at a steady pace. They were scavengers through and through. Even if they were goblins lying on the ground pretending to be dead, they would not let them go. As long as they saw them alive, they would chop them down first. Let’s talk about it with one sword.
Then, under the leadership of thirty-two Chinese militiamen, more than a hundred civilians with spears lined up in neat formations and slowly followed.
Compared with killing, they are more about momentum, and they are also the backup method prepared by Zalanda. Wait a moment, half of them will stay in the city and guard on both sides of the city gate, and half will go out of the city to respond.
Once the attack fails, Zalanda can lead his team to retreat to Fort Nott again.
The bloody battle that was originally waiting for Zalanda at the city gate became much easier because of Gavin's participation.
They picked off seven or eight goblins in a row, which frightened the little goblins who continued to rush forward. The goblins driven out by them naturally broke through the encirclement together and ran back crazily. Yelling, spreading fear to his companions.
Zalanda and Gavin ignored the goblins who were already in a state of panic. They only picked on the stupid goblins who still rushed forward to kill them.
Within a few rounds, a strange sight appeared.
Zalanda and Gavin rode upstream in pairs. The goblins they passed by all changed their direction and ran towards their companions. Some even waved at the companions who blocked their way forward. Armed with weapons, it was as if the two of them were leading a group of goblins to attack other goblins.
This is the second step of the counterattack strategy - driving the sheep.
