1306: C1306 Surround the Perimeter

C1306 Surround the Perimeter

Big Beardy had a belly full of fire, but he could only break his teeth and swallow it down.

Who asked him to be a general?

If there was no war, he would be destined to stay in place and watch helplessly as those fellows who did not even have the strength to truss a chicken, whose stomach was full of crooked intestines, made a meteoric rise.

Now, this opportunity had finally come. He had to fight a super beautiful war. After making meritorious contributions and being conferred a noble title, he would find those fellows who usually used their nostrils to look at him, and he would definitely give them a fierce slap in the face.

"Brothers, let's move faster. Our chance to make a meteoric rise has arrived. We are not going to war, but to rob money. As long as we win the war, we will be able to enjoy endless wealth and glory!"

The bearded man waved the heavy sword in his hand and shouted angrily.

The brave soldiers of the Wild Wolf Guards were all glowing red. In fact, they didn't need the bearded man to tell them that this opportunity wasn't easy to come by.

When the time came, they could kill more enemies on the battlefield and make more contributions. As long as they made enough contributions, it was not impossible for a soldier to reach the sky in one night.

However, no matter how anxious they were, the nature of the Heavy Armored Infantry meant that they would have to spend a lot of time.

First was the distribution of equipment.

Because the equipment of the Heavy Armor Infantry was rather special, when there were no battles, they would be placed in designated locations for safekeeping and maintenance.

Only when there was a war would the equipment be distributed.

The entire Wild Wolf Guard had more than ten thousand people. This was not a provincial matter.

In addition to receiving the equipment, they also had to prepare rations, medicine, and other supplies. Because they did not have the mobility of war cavalry, their movements were very slow, and they had to prepare these things.

The process of distributing the supplies took more than three hours, and this was already the fastest speed.

But this was only the beginning, and the next step was to equip the equipment.

The biggest feature of heavy infantry was its literal meaning: Heavy!

The standard equipment of a normal heavy infantry included a thick steel helmet. A thin chainmail vest, and an outer armor supported by a steel plate that was laughing like an egg. There was also a pair of steel boots that were long enough to reach the knee and a centimeter long iron thorn at the bottom of their feet.

In total, there were at least 80 kilograms of heavy armored infantry. With the addition of other resources and weapons and shields, each heavy armored infantry soldier weighed at least 120 kilograms!

Moreover, these equipment were especially troublesome to wear. It was not as simple as wearing clothes.

When designing this batch of equipment, the designer carefully thought of a detail. Under very special circumstances, when they needed to rush, they would be able to react very quickly.

Therefore, these equipment were divided into several parts, such as the helmet.

The helmet was a very important protective part, and the weight of the materials used was also very high. The average weight of each helmet was at least 25 kilograms.

In order to maintain the stability of the helmet on the battlefield, there was a rivet at the back of the helmet. After putting on the helmet, the helmet would be tightened by human hands. This way, the helmet would not fall off easily.

However, the disadvantage was that if one needed to take it off, it would take a lot of time.

Therefore, the designer very creatively divided the helmet into two parts, one in the front and the other in the back.

The fixed method was also changed from the initial rivets to a small button. When one wanted to take it off, the button that was fixed on one side would be unlocked in an instant.

However, the disadvantage was that because of the design of the button, when wearing the helmet, two people had to assist each other.

The two of them each took half of it from two different directions and closed it in the middle. Then, they used a small iron rod and used the lever principle to pull the button.

However, considering that the heavy infantry were not used for assault, this small flaw could be ignored.

This was only to wear a helmet, and the rest of the equipment was even more troublesome, especially the armor on their bodies. There were two layers in total, and they were divided into the inner chainmail and the outer fish-scale armor. It was even more troublesome to wear them.1

Moreover, there were more than 10,000 Wild Wolf Guards, and when they wore equipment, they had to split into three groups, which would take a lot of time.

In fact, for heavy armored infantry, the time spent on preparing for battle was not important. Because heavy armored infantry did not need to move quickly, nor did they need to carry out sneak attacks. Therefore, wearing troublesome clothes did not seem to matter.

However, the designer might have overlooked an important fact.

That was, the battlefield would always be ever-changing!

In their opinion, this insignificant detail was very likely to become their death warrant!

The 10,000 plus Wild Wolf Guards were all thinking about their beautiful future with glowing faces.

However, they did not know that at this moment, a force twice their number was quietly approaching their tent under the cover of the night.

This force of over 20,000 people was all light armored. Each of them had a leaf in their mouth as they silently shuttled through the night.

This operation had to be hidden. Once it was exposed, not only would their plan fail, but they would also have to die here.

Therefore, before they set off, Black Hawk gave an order. Everyone had a leaf in their mouth. Before they launched the attack, no matter who it was, the leaf in their mouth would fall out and they would be killed on the spot!

This was a clever plan to prevent the soldiers from speaking or making other sounds while they were advancing.

This method also had a miraculous effect. Throughout the entire process of advancing, no one made a sound among the more than twenty thousand people.

Very quickly, they quietly snuck into the location they had predicted.

This place was less than a kilometer away from the camp of the Wild Wolves Guards. They could clearly see the brightly lit battalion commander and the busy Wild Wolf Guards.

Black Hawk observed for a while with a telescope and silently made a gesture to the tribe leaders.

The tribe leaders hurriedly led their subordinates and began to slowly spread to the sides, forming a huge encirclement around the tent.

After the people of the various tribes set off according to their plan, Black Hawk lay in the grass and observed the situation of the Wild Wolves. His palms and back were covered in cold sweat.

Although this tactic was flawless, Black Hawk understood very well that there was a huge gap between them and the enemy in terms of strength.

Therefore, it was still unknown who would be the winner of this battle.

The most important thing was whether this tactic could be executed flawlessly.

A long period of rapid marching in silence, quietly sneaking into the designated location, this was only the first step. The danger had just begun, and the following steps could only be considered shocking.

As long as there was a single mistake, this plan would lose completely!

The most difficult part of this plan was to surround the target once they got close to the designated location!
