Avalon Fortress offensive and defensive battle day 2.
As soon as the sun rose on the second day, the Sheeran army launched a fierce attack on the Avalon Fortress as yesterday.
And the Knights of Michael also held the city walls tightly, and did not give in to any inch of land.
Today's battle was also in a deadlock like yesterday.
The two armies kept tug-of-war on the outer wall of the Avalon Fortress.
But in terms of overall battle situation, the Knights of Michael took the upper hand.
After all, the Knights of Michael only need to defend the city wall and prevent the city wall from being taken away by the Sheeran army.
At noon, a distinguished guest came to the Avalon Fortress.
...
...
Avalon Fortress, Command Room.
"Mr. Humphrey, I didn't expect you to arrive at the fortress so soon." Su Chengchong smiled helplessly at the old man standing in front of him.
The old man standing in front of Su Cheng was the governor of the North - Humphrey.
Last night, Su Cheng asked Willy to contact the North General Administration and asked Humphrey to come to Avalon Fortress, and had something important to discuss with Humphrey.
Su Cheng's reason is that Humphrey may take 2 days to arrive at the Avalon Fortress, but unexpectedly, Humphrey arrived at noon on the second day.
After Humphrey arrived at the Avalon Fortress, Su Cheng immediately welcomed Humphrey to the command room of the Knights headquarters.
At the same time, the command room was ordered to be blocked, and no one, including Willy, was allowed to approach the command room until the end of his conversation with Humphrey.
After hearing what Su Cheng said just now, Humphrey smiled softly:
"Repelling the invading army of the Holy Hillan Empire is the top priority for our country."
"When I learned that you have something important to discuss with me about this battle, how can I not take it seriously?"
"After receiving the news that you wanted me to have a secret negotiation, I rushed over without stopping."
"Then—let's stop here."
After saying that, Humphrey's expression slowly became serious.
"Your Excellency, I wonder what you want to discuss with me? Is it a plan on how to keep the Avalon Fortress?"
After listening to Humphrey's words, a serious look gradually appeared on Su Cheng's face.
"No, it's not the strategy of how to keep the Avalon Fortress."
Speaking of this, Su Cheng's left mouth slightly raised, showing a mysterious smile.
"It's a strategy to surround and annihilate these 300,000 Xilan troops."
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Humphrey's hand that was just touching his short beard immediately stopped.
His eyes widened and he stared at Su Cheng blankly.
"The strategy of encircling and annihilation...300,000 Xilan troops?"
"That's right." Su Cheng nodded seriously.
"..." Humphrey was silent for a long time.
After a long silence, Humphrey finally spoke out:
"...Sir, I know nothing about military tactics."
"But I also know some basic common sense of military use."
"If you want to surround and annihilate the enemy, you must at least have several times the enemy's strength to do so."
"The Sheeran army has a total of 300,000 combat troops, while the Michael Knights who were facing the enemy had only 120,000."
"The total number of troops is less than half of the Sheeran army. How can we surround and annihilate these 300,000 troops?"
"Does the regiment commander want to ask the Central Committee for reinforcements, requesting the transfer of the Gabriel Knights on the Rhine Front or the Rachel Knights on the Southern Front to go north to help?"
As soon as Humphrey finished speaking, Su Cheng immediately replied:
"I do plan to ask for reinforcements from the Central Committee, but the reinforcements I want to ask are not the Knights of Rachel or the Knights of Gabriel."
After saying that, Su Cheng quickly walked towards the large map hanging on the wall of the command room.
"Mr. Humphrey, please see."
Humphrey followed closely behind and stood shoulder to shoulder with Su Cheng in front of this big map.
"I don't need the help of other Knights. I can completely surround and annihilate these 300,000 Sheeran troops with the 120,000 people I currently have."
"Normally, it is indeed completely impossible to surround and annihilate 300,000 people."
"But the terrain of the Eighar Corridor - makes this impossible possible!"
Su Cheng pulled out the knight's sword at his waist and used the knight's sword in his hand to replace the baton.
Su Cheng raised the knight's sword in his hand and pointed the tip straight to the map:
"Mr. Humphrey, you should be very clear."
"Our Britannia Empire and the Holy Sheeran Empire divide the borders through the Eighar Mountains that go east and west."
"The Eighar Mountains are the highest and largest mountain range on the continent. Normal people cannot cross the Eighar Mountains at all."
"If you want to cross the Eighar Mountains, you can only walk through the only gap in this mountain range, which is the Eighar Corridor where we are now."
"Our Britannia Empire and the Holy Sheeran Empire each control the north and south sections of the Eghar Corridor."
“We built the Avalon Fortress in the southern section of the Eighar Corridor.”
"And the Holy Sheeran Empire built the Muhavic Fortress in the northern section of the Eghar Corridor."
"The two fortresses, Avalon Fortress and Muhavic Fortress, are equivalent to the two north and south entrances of the Eighar Corridor."
After saying that, Su Cheng pointed to the Muhavic Fortress in the north with his sword tip, and then pointed to the Avalon Fortress in the south.
"Just block these two openings, you can block the Eighar Corridor!"
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Humphrey's eyebrows raised.
Although he doesn't understand military affairs, Humphrey is not a stupid person either.
After listening to Su Cheng’s words just now, Humphrey had already understood what Su Cheng’s plan was.
"Your Excellency, what do you mean..." Humphrey hesitated, "You are planning to take down the Muhaviz Fortress, block the two north and south openings of the Eghar Corridor, block the Eghar Corridor, and cut off the supply of the 300,000 Sheilan Army?"
"That's right."
Seeing Humphrey understand so quickly, Su Cheng nodded with satisfaction and continued:
"Just like a straw, blocking the upper and lower holes, the water in the straw will not flow out."
"As long as you fully utilize the unique terrain characteristics of the Eighar Corridor, you can completely surround 300,000 people with 120,000 people!"
"As long as you can take down the Muhavic Fortress, you can block the entire Eghar Corridor together with Avalon Fortress, one south and one north."
"The 300,000 Xilan army with no supply will be severely damaged in a few days."
"That's when it's time for us to wipe them out."
"...Mr. Commander, your plan sounds wonderful." At this moment, Humphrey suddenly hesitated, "But how can we take the Fortress of Muhaviz?"
"If you can't take the Muhavic Fortress, your idea just now is just a fantasy."
“The Muhavic Fortress is at the northern end of the Eighar Corridor.”
"What should we do to take down the Muhavic Fortress at the northern end of the Eighar Corridor?"
"It is indeed impossible to do it by my Knights of Michael alone. So--I need the central government to allocate reinforcements to me."
"I need the Central Committee to transfer the Imperial Navy to help me!"
