Britannian Empire, North Frontier, Avalon Fortress, Headquarters of the Knights of Michael.
The headquarters is brilliant, and 18 knights from the Knights of Michael's Knights except Su Cheng gathered together to discuss strategies against the enemy.
"Everyone, according to the report of the scouts, the vanguard troops of the Holy Hillan Empire are about 50,000 people, and are heading towards our Avalon Fortress. Now it is only 20 miles away from our Avalon Fortress, and it is already close."
After hearing Willy's words, the knights present chattered.
20 miles - As Willy just said, this distance is already very close.
After talking for a long time, Gary stood up first and said:
"His deputy regiment commander, the subordinate believes that in the face of the attack of the Sheeran army, we only need to defend the Avalon Fortress. We have an army of 120,000 yuan, which is a bronze wall and iron wall. It is not very difficult to block the Sheeran army."
"We just kept guarding until the supply of the Sheeran army could not keep up."
"As long as the supply can't keep up, the Xilan army will naturally withdraw."
Gary's words won the approval of many people present.
Many people agree with Gary's steady playing style.
The Holy Hillan Empire claimed to have sent 800,000 troops this time, but as long as someone who knows a little about the current situation of the Holy Hillan Empire, he knows that this number must be flooded.
Although the Holy Hillan Empire still has the title of "superpower", its national strength is no longer as strong as before.
According to reports from scouts and spies, the Sheeran Army had only about 300,000 combat troops this time, and the rest were logistics troops responsible for transporting the baggage.
However, even if the combat troops of the Sheeran Army only have 300,000 troops, it is still an amazing scale of troops.
The "Summer Wind" offensive launched by the Britannian Empire against the Rolling Empire two years ago was only 150,000 combat troops.
Faced with such a large army of such a large scale, many knights in the Knights were timid and involuntarily chose the most stable way of playing - being a turtle, defending the Avalon Fortress until the supply of the Holy Hillan Empire could not keep up.
However, Samuel spoke as soon as Gary finished speaking.
Samuel stood up and said seriously:
"I don't all agree with Gary's tactics."
Samuel did not speak unnecessary nonsense, and briefly explained his attitude towards Gary's claims.
As soon as Samuel finished speaking, almost everyone present cast strange eyes at Samuel.
It was not because Samuel's view was so amazing, but just simply shocked that Samuel actually spoke.
Samuel has always been a celebrity in the Knights of Michael.
He always tries to be lazy and does not work if he can, but the most amazing thing is that every time he is assigned a task, he can complete it on time and in quantity no matter what task it is.
In the past, when such meetings were held, Samuel would not speak without speaking, and would always huddle in the corner in a daze.
But this time, he stood up and spoke with a serious look on his face.
Therefore, many people present couldn't help but cast shocked eyes at Samuel.
After hearing Samuel's words, Gary asked Samuel with a calm expression:
"Samuel, do you think there is anything wrong with my claim? You are also a knight with great military achievements. You should also know that an iron rule in the war is to maximize your advantages and avoid your disadvantages."
"Compared with the Sheeran army with 300,000 combat troops, the biggest advantage of our Michael Knights is that we have the Avalon Fortress."
"If we do not fully utilize our greatest advantage, do you still have to go out to the Fortress to fight the Sheeran army in the wilderness?"
As soon as Gary finished speaking, Samuel immediately replied:
"I agree with Gary, you defended the Avalon Fortress until the Sheeran army's supply could not keep up."
"But I don't agree with your claim to be on the fortress from the beginning."
"As you said just now, an iron rule of war is to maximize your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."
"But have you forgotten that our Knights of Michael have a great advantage besides the Avalon Fortress."
"Our Knights of Michael have [the First Cavalry Team of the Empire]."
"In terms of the combat effectiveness of the cavalry team, our Michael Knights have always been above the other two knights."
"Even when our Michael Knights were weakest, the combat effectiveness of our Michael Knights was still the strongest in the entire empire."
The northern border has two best horse farms in the entire empire, and most of the war horses produced by these two horse farms are supplied to the Knights of Michael.
In addition, the source of the troops of the Knights of Michael has always been in the vast north, including the northern border.
Whether it was due to genes or acquired environments, the northerners of the Britannian Empire were always good at riding horses. Compared with people from other places, northerners could always learn how to ride horses quickly.
The best war horses and the best riders have created the reputation of the [First Cavalry Team of the Empire] of the Knights of Michael.
At the beginning of last year, Su Cheng went to Kelor's hometown and invited the blacksmith who knew how to build horseshoes.
After taking the blacksmith to Baidi City, the blacksmith also taught him all his horseshoe-making skills to the blacksmiths in the north.
After more than a year, the blacksmiths in the north have already mastered the technology of horseshoe manufacturing and have created a large number of horseshoe.
At this time, horseshoes had been popularized, and horses of the cavalry of the Michael Knights had been installed.
The popularity of horseshoes greatly reduced the loss rate of war horses, making the Michael Knights' regiment more abundant war horse reserves. At the same time, the installation of horseshoes also strengthened the speed of war horses and the combat effectiveness of cavalry to a certain extent.
Horseshoes are like a tiger for the Michael Knights Cavalry, which has already become the "No. 1 Cavalry Team of the Empire", to a higher level of combat effectiveness.
After listening to Samuel's words, Willy raised his eyebrows lightly.
Because he understood what Samuel wanted to say.
Sure enough, Samuel's next words confirmed his thoughts:
"Our Knights of Michael now has 18,000 cavalrymen."
"It would be a waste not to exert the power of our cavalry team."
"So I advocate - take the initiative to attack before Xilan's army has arrived at the fortress!"
"Pick out the best group of cavalry and go out to attack the Sheeran army!"
"Now the Sheeran army's forward is only 20 miles away from us, which is a great time for us to launch an attack!"
"Driven to attack the enemy army will definitely greatly weaken the morale of the Sheeran army and boost our army's morale."
"If the morale of the Sheeran army can be weakened, it will definitely be beneficial to the long battle to defend the city."
Samuel's proposal can be said to be very bold.
The weak defender of the city was going to launch an attack.
Therefore, as soon as Samuel finished speaking, all the knights present immediately started to chatter and discuss the feasibility of Samuel's claim.
But there are only a few people who are extremely brave like Samuel.
In the end, only Raymond and Deng Jiaer agreed with Samuel's bold style of play.
Others, including Gary, Dele, and Alisa, do not agree with Samuel's unstable style of playing.
Willie was also frowning, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head.
Willie is also a steady person and does not appreciate Samuel's claim.
