chapter 561, chapter 562
Xie Feng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he saw Lyman describing the loss of three precious Gotei Guards' lives in such an understatement. But think about it, the lives of the three Gotei Guards were exchanged for Charlotte's nearly half a month. There is no big move. Regardless of morality and interests, this seems to be very worthwhile and can even be said to be a big profit. If it were me, even with Lyman's wisdom, I would definitely not make such a cold and direct sacrifice. The lives of these three Gotei Guards. It can be said that Lyman's cold-blooded ruthlessness and his wisdom are a perfect match, but at the same time, it is also a terrifying existence.
Lyman said: "Marshal, if you want to check the situation or even provide rescue, I have only two suggestions."
Although what Lyman said was "suggestion", Xie Feng could tell that his tone should mean "request". Lyman was proud of his talent and believed that any action that did not follow his wishes would fail, at least. Unable to obtain the expected benefits. For a war fanatic like Lyman, there is nothing more annoying than a war not being able to develop according to one's own wishes - unless the other party's strategy is better than one's own.
Xie Feng knew that this battle should not be careless, and he should still listen to Lyman before he made a better decision, so he said: "You say it."
Lehmann said: "First, the attack of the large forces from Zhivadin to the south must continue; second, you can only bring a small number of troops there. In fact, these two suggestions are ultimately the same starting point - the operations of the large forces continue If so, naturally you can’t take away too many troops.”
Xie Feng asked: "Why?"
Lehmann said: "Our plan is to capture Dehreim and cut off Swadia's supply and information lines in Kugit. Now that Jelborg Fort and Ruda Fort have appeared, we can capture the two castles. The strength of the troops proves that there are definitely not many defenders in Dehreim, which is more conducive to the development of our original plan, and can even be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Moreover, the attack of a large force is not afraid of any strategy, so it is said that the large force is not afraid of any strategy. The risk taken by the troops is very small. Therefore, the original plan cannot be changed. Secondly, according to this scout, Ruda Fort is in danger. If you want to rush to Ruda Fort to check the situation, you must use your troops quickly. If you bring more troops, it will obviously affect the speed of the journey. Therefore, the best way is to bring a cavalry team of less than 150 people."
Xie Feng frowned and said: "A cavalry team of two hundred people? Although cavalry is very advantageous in field battles, don't forget that our enemy is Swadia. They have the best cavalry team on the continent. And I want to rush to the rescue. It's a siege battle. Let's not talk about how effective the number of 150 people can be, but the cavalry may not be able to play a rescue role, right? If it is Kujit's cavalry, they can also rely on bows and arrows to ensure long-range output. However, the Kugit Khanate had just lost half of its territory to Swadia. There were too many soldiers killed and injured, and the domestic security situation had not yet been resolved. Suddenly, it might be a bit difficult to assemble a combat team of 150 people. "
Lyman said: "I hope the 150 people you brought are Salander's cavalry."
"Saland?" Xie Feng asked in confusion: "How will that help in the rescue?"
"It's not a rescue!" Lyman said: "The gains and losses of these two castles have no value in the entire war. The reason why you care about those two castles is just because your factory is nearby. Then, as long as you ensure that you If our factory will not be affected, what if the two castles themselves are surrendered?"
Xie Feng said a little displeased: "The Kingdom of Nord is our ally. The oath of alliance just made at the swearing-in meeting is still echoing in everyone's ears. If we don't show any expression for the loss of the ally's territory, then how can we make it happen in the future?"
Are the allies convinced?"
Lyman sighed: "What is the purpose of the alliance?"
Xie Feng was stunned and said: "What?"
Lehmann said: "Let me ask, what is the purpose of your alliance? Is it to fight Swadia, or to ensure that no one suffers losses in their territory? The purpose of the alliance is to attack, not to defend. Since it is an active attack, then
It is inevitable that one or two pieces of land will be captured by the enemy during the attack. If a so-called ally asks you anxiously to help him fight back after one or two pieces of his territory are occupied by the enemy, if you don't agree
If he still has a disagreement, such an ally will be more annoying than an enemy."
I have to say that Lyman’s analysis of the interests and situations was very good. Indeed, the larger the scale of a war, the less concerned about the gains and losses of a piece of land. It must be analyzed in conjunction with the overall situation. After thinking for a while, Xie Feng said
: "You are right. But... even if I rush over, what will happen?" A cavalry team of 150 people cannot play a big role at all.
"It depends on the situation." Lyman said: "If you think the situation is optimistic, just order the cavalry to flush the enemy's position. Otherwise, retreat to the Ladogir River and occupy the only bridge or simply destroy it, so that
They can't cross the river smoothly. If they are the main force, they will try to cross the river. At that time, if you call in a group of archers as reinforcements, you can secure the river bank. If they are just a separate force, then they will definitely not be able to cross the river.
If you dare to cross the river, then you will trade with them there. Anyway, we will not lose anything - at least your factory in Wayeseji will not suffer any loss either."
After thinking for a while, Xie Feng said: "Then, if the large army continues to move, who will lead it?" Xie Feng is the backbone of the Alliance Army and the honorary marshal of all countries. Only Xie Feng has the power to dispatch and command the Alliance Army.
If someone else leads a large force, I'm afraid some people will be dissatisfied and all kinds of unnecessary conflicts will arise.
Lehmann was stunned when he heard this, and seemed a little shocked. Obviously, he had not thought about this issue. Lehmann was unpredictable in the art of marching and even conspiracies, but he seemed to know nothing about political relations and the way to run the army. He only considered using
What means can better achieve the goal, but there has always been a lack of consideration of the political conditions required for such means. Therefore, although he knew that it was very feasible for the large forces to act according to the original plan, he temporarily ignored the large forces.
It must be led by Xie Feng himself.
After thinking for a while, Lyman said: "If you can trust me, I will lead the detachment to Rudaburg to inspect the situation, and you will lead the large force to act according to the original plan."
Although the swearing-in ceremony was interrupted by two Nord scouts, order was quickly restored and ended in an orderly manner.
According to the plan, the kings of each country will leave a certain number of soldiers under Xie Feng's unified command, and then return to their respective countries to take charge.
After the kings of the six countries said goodbye to each other, they each set off back to their countries.
"Your Majesty Hamki!"
Sultan Hamki, who had just mounted his horse, turned around when he heard someone calling him.
"Oh, it's Xie Feng." Hamji smiled and said, "I'm about to go back to Salander, what can I do?"
Xie Feng walked into Hamji and asked: "How many soldiers did you leave behind?"
Hamji said: "About 500 people. Sorry Xie Feng, this is the most I can get, after all..."
Xie Feng interrupted: "How many cavalry are there in total? Of course I mean the fourth-level Salander riders and the fifth-level Mamluks."
Hamki said: "After all, our Salander is famous for its cavalry. Naturally, the number of cavalry will not be too small - the total number of Salander riders and Mamluks is about 10."
Xie Feng turned around and asked Lyman next to him: "Is it enough?"
Lyman nodded and said, "More than I expected."
Hamki asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Xie Feng said: "Time is urgent, and I can't explain it to you in detail right now. To put it simply, I need all the cavalry you left behind, commanded by him (pointing to Lyman), to divide the troops and go to Ruda Fort to check the situation. You see
Can you make some arrangements?"
Seeing Hamji's hesitation, Xie Feng knew that Hamji was dissatisfied with the redistribution of military power, so he said: "Let's do this. How about you choose one person to lead this cavalry team, and then the specific actions will be discussed by the two of them?"
Hamki's face improved slightly, but he still had a headache and said: "But I came to attend the swearing-in meeting this time and did not ask any lord to follow... Oh, by the way, Chief Mondhari didn't send his cavalry
Did the captain come with me? What is your name?"
A soldier next to Hamki said: "It's Conan, Your Majesty,"
Hamji said: "Well, let him lead the troops."
When Xie Feng heard this, he felt happy. He had met Conan several times before. When Shiba Zumo was occupied by the "Desert Eagle", he and Dante even rescued him and his men.
If he was the one responsible for leading the troops, then it would be easy to talk about. But... Xie Feng looked at Lyman beside him, and thought that the reason why Conan was besieged in Shiba Zumo was because of this guy...
Whether the two of them would start fighting on the spot when they meet is another matter.
The soldier's problem was solved. Lyman said to Xie Feng: "In addition to these 10 Salander's cavalry, I will also bring two more people."
Xie Feng asked: "Who?"
Lyman said: "The first one is Randy, the captain of the Virginia Royal Cavalry, or Alya, the deputy captain. Both of them have experience in leading the Royal Cavalry." What Lyman means is
I don't believe in the ability of such a strange cavalry captain under Lord Salander. If a cavalry charge is needed at that time, it is obvious that Randy or Arlia, who are the captains of the Virginia Royal Cavalry, are more reliable.
Xie Feng thought for a while and said: "Randy wants to stay and lead the Royal Cavalry. I'll let Alya go with you - who is the other one?"
Lyman said: "Trix. He has unparalleled naval ability. He once said, 'One person is in the water, but a hundred people can't cross the river.' After half a month of observation, I think he does have this ability. If you bring him
If you join him, it will be much easier to retreat to the Ladogir River..."
"Are you talking about me?" Suddenly, a sentence floated over.
Xie Feng and Lyman turned around and saw Kanites and Trix walking over, arm in arm.
Xie Feng immediately said: "Trix, you came just in time, there is a task for you - follow Lyman to Ruda Fort, maybe the water battle you have been looking forward to is about to come."
Before Trix could answer, Kanites next to him shouted: "Hey, Trix is going on a business trip? I'm going too!"
Xie Feng stared at Kanites and asked, "When did you two have such a good relationship?"
Kanites smiled and said: "Trix calls himself the God of War in the Water, and I call myself the God of War in the Arena. One day we discussed who of us would win if there was half the water in a competition.
As we chatted, we found that it was quite a match, so...ah, don't get me wrong, we are just ordinary good friends, and we definitely don't have the kind of skin-to-skin intimacy you think!"
Xie Feng was ashamed and thought: I haven't thought about anything, okay? Why did you tell the truth first?
Xie Feng turned to Lehmann and said, "How about taking a ride with Kanites?"
Lyman smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the large army needs more power guarantee, I would also like to bring all your companions with me."
…
The 10 Salander cavalrymen, except for Kurao, headed straight towards Rudaburg.
On the way, Conan, as the leader of the army, asked Lehmann: "Mr. Lehmann, according to the known information, both Jellbog Fort and Ruda Fort are threatened by the Swadia army. We are heading to Jellbog Fort."
Fort, or Rudaburg?”
Lyman said calmly: "What do you think?"
Conan thought for a while and said: "The scout who just came to ask for help came from Rudaburg, which means that Rudaburg is in danger. And no one has come to Jelborg Fort to ask for help - Jelborg Fort is located at the break of the mountain range.
Among them, it can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is estimated that there will be no problem for a while. Moreover, if I were the commander of Swadia, I would definitely focus on Ruda Fort, which is easier to defeat. Therefore,
We have to rush to Rudaburg to find out the situation first, right?"
Lyman shook his head and said, "You work hard, but your talent is not enough."
Conan was stunned and asked: "What do you mean?"
Lyman said: "You work very hard to become an excellent commander, hoping to gain insight into opportunities, accurately analyze the situation, and make judgments. However, you still lack a wise vision for the actual situation... Huh? There seems to be something in front of you.
A team.”
