Chapter 5 Vanguard

"The army has collected people, and you have obtained a gold coin for registration." At several recruiting sites in Cramento City, the people in charge of recruiting were shouting hard.

In front of him, there was a long line of men, most of them were young and strong men. Some of them were local residents, hoping to find opportunities in this country where war had just begun. Some refugees were driven by the war, hoping to join the army and earn some income for their families and support their families. Some soldiers, who were themselves soldiers, were disbanded in the war and were left here, and were re-entered because of the lord's recruitment order.

Cramento is a coastal city, located in the easternmost part of the Barria Empire. This is why the fire of the civil war has not yet burned here. Those who migrated with their families always hope to avoid the invasion of the war. They had to choose to relocate again and again. It seems that only in this way can they continue to gain a short and peaceful life.

But further forward, the sea is the sea. Only a few rich people can afford to rent a boat and temporarily go into exile on the ocean. Even so, they have to avoid the pirates from time to time. And other ordinary people can only stay in this last harbor, waiting for the arrival of war that destroys everything.

Legend has it that there are hell creatures in Martin's army, and the only hobby of those creatures is to eat humans.

This rumor is constantly circling all the residents of Cramento City. At the same time, Prince Martin has released the news that he will never accept the surrender from Cramento City. His army is here to destroy everything. As for the reason, Ron and others know. For this reason, Martin's army has blocked all the land passages around Cramento City, and has also ventilated with several pirates, allowing them to take the opportunity to rob the sea outside Cramento.

Obviously, Martin wanted to use his extremely strong strength to destroy the second prince Sith's important support - Ron.

But those ordinary residents had no good methods. They only knew that disaster was coming. It seemed that when they were desperate, the lord of Cramento City gave them a glimmer of hope. This lord, who was also well-known in Baria, stabilized the panic with his unique appearance and began the reconstruction of the army.

However, Cramento has never been a military city. It is near the sea and facing a wide plain. It is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and is very unsuitable for defensive battles. But now it has to face such a situation. In order to defend Cramento City, the Lord of the Lord finally issued an emergency recruitment order.

If the team of 1,000 elves shooters had already made everyone excited, dozens of neat and huge warships on the sea outside Cramento a few days later made them feel much more at ease. In the legend of citizens, the Lord of the Lord got the assistant from the sea from somewhere, and the navy of Cramento City was built overnight.

To this end, Ron also held a military parade in a daytime manner. Dozens of sea ships lined up from the coast in turn and practiced offshore at sea. Countless magic bullets converged on the sea surface, shining in the hearts of every visiting Cramento people.

It was the stimulation of these factors that those who saw some hope finally made the always deserted recruiting place popular. After a few days, the number of Cramento's army quickly expanded to five thousand and continued to increase at a rate of hundreds per day.

Cramento's own stock equipment could no longer meet the needs of these soldiers. Fortunately, the standard equipment obtained from Brown's pirate warehouse began to be distributed to each recruit. The military equipment of the empire that had disappeared for many years appeared on the magic continent again.

Ron actually had no experience in war. His real experience came from Anderson and Brown. They both came from regular troops, one was good at ground combat and the other was proficient in maritime operations. Therefore, Ron was appointed by Ron as the head of the two major military forces, responsible for their respective training. Ron led his other subordinates to set up a wartime command center, responsible for commanding the elf shooter and Baier's subordinates, and this was the core combat force of Cramento City.

This is similar to the practice of several mercenary teams when they cooperated together. Ron has also participated in some large-scale figures in Baiyue City. As the captain, he naturally participated in this kind of organizational activities. Now he is just moving here to use it.

But before those training could be carried out, the battle had already begun.

-------------------------

On the tenth day of Ron's return, a team of about 500 cavalry appeared on the outskirts of Cramento. They came roaring with Prince Martin's flag. The secret whistle set up by Ron discovered the cavalry and urgently informed the lord's mansion.

Despite a brief panic, Ron's side quickly set up a simple combat plan. They decided to set up an ambush on the way the cavalry came and use the range of the elf shooter to snipe.

In most wars, those exquisite strategies are often not the main factors that determine the outcome. On the contrary, strictly following combat plans, morale and courage, and grasping opportunities for war are important aspects. Those who focus on wisdom and strategy and pay attention to unexpected planning to attack are either top war strategists or the lowest-level madman.

Therefore, for the newly established young army of Ron, the simple and effective method is the best method.

Simple does not mean roughness. For this reason, Ron also designed countless small details, mobilized recruits and residents to create some chaos and panic in the distance, using these details to try to induce the arrival of those cavalrymen.

They kept some clothes on the roadside and continued onto the coast. At the same time, all the large sea boats were offshore, leaving only some small fishing boats wandering around the port. If the cavalry stood at the high point of the suburbs, they could see this scene at a glance, thinking that the residents of Cramento had gone to sea to hide.

On the broad main roads in the suburbs, some trunks and branches were thrown randomly in the center, creating some illusion of temporary damage to the road surface.

On the walls of Cramento, neat but somewhat damaged flags were erected, which looked more like giving me a mighty reputation.

The Elf Shooter and Ron were ambushing the high point of the suburbs of the city and the surrounding jungle. As long as these cavalry rushed to the gate, they would be attacked by the huge rocks in the city and the bows and arrows in the jungle outside the city.

In fact, even if these thousand elves shooters attack at will, they can solve these cavalry. However, in order to allow the new recruits and new troops to undergo the tempering of war, Ron still designed a relatively safe plan to allow the soldiers to participate in the clamping mission of the cavalry in Cramento City. Of course, most of their work is to carry huge rocks and use the magic catapults to defend the city to shoot.

In Ron's plan, direct face-to-face rush has been minimized to reduce losses. It should be noted that the impact of cavalry is extremely powerful for these infantry soldiers, especially those recruits who have not been tempered by war and do not know how to fight against cavalry.

Even though some of them are regular soldiers, they only occupy a small part. Ron and Anderson have tried their best to arrange these experienced soldiers as captain positions, but that is too small and has not been trained to effectively guide them.

However, Ron's first war was destined not to come so smoothly.

Surprisingly, after the cavalry arrived at the outskirts of the city, they stopped coming forward. Instead, they got off the horse and set up camp, looking at the huge walls of Cramento from afar, and refused to step forward again, leaving Ron's preparations useless.

"Did you find us?" Ron and others looked at each other and guessed in secret.

The cavalry team of hundreds of people not far away strictly did not take a step. They arranged a simple camp and quickly launched patrols. Some people even sat on horseback, monitoring all the movements around, ready to launch an attack at any time.

Anderson's face changed and he said to Ron: "We seem to be in big trouble, they are waiting for the army behind."

"There are still troops?" Ron was surprised. If the other party had some cavalry, the number of more than one thousand, it would be useless if the ambush was useless.

"Obviously, it's just a vanguard," Anderson said. "It just doesn't seem to have the desire to attack for no reason. It's obviously because they're waiting for orders, or other main forces behind."

"Main force?" Ron frowned. After a while, he suddenly whispered a few words, and then a man shrouded in a cloak agreed and disappeared.

Just as Ron and his friends were waiting anxiously, the other party's second cavalry team came again, but this time it was twice as large as a thousand people. The waving flags had already been erected on the plain before Cramento City, and the neat sound of horse hooves came from time to time, echoing in the hearts of all Cramento people.

A cavalry of 1,500 men!

They slowly lined up on the plain, and this momentum alone had already made the hands of the soldiers on Ron's side tremble slightly. If they launched a dive together at this time, this interception and ambush would not have played much role. Although the elf shooter was powerful, his killing was limited after all. Faced with these heavy-armed and extremely strong defense cavalry, it would be difficult to form obvious effects when there were a large number of them.

However, the cavalry gathered not over, and the ever-large team finally drove over. At the core of the team, a black carriage mixed in the middle was extremely dazzling.
