Seeing Xie Feng and the other two happily telling each other about their fate, Lyman said coldly: "Now is not the time to be happy and relax."

Xie Feng was stunned when he heard this and asked: "Why did Mr. Leman say this?"

Lyman said: "Have you ever worried about Charlotte's actions since you occupied Dehreim?"

Xie Feng immediately said: "Before you came, I have been worried about this matter! What do you think sir?"

Lyman sighed: "Since you ask me this, it means you haven't done enough in intelligence..."

"Intelligence?" Xie Feng asked: "What information?"

Lehman said: "Dehrem is the territory of Marshal Aiyat of the Kingdom of Swadia. The reason why you can occupy Dehrem so easily is because Aiyat has allocated most of his troops to deal with it.

On the front lines of Jelborg Fort and Ruda Fort. Now that you occupy Dehreim, it is equivalent to cutting off the supply line of Swadia's troops in Kugit. At this time, for Swadia

, Dehreim must not be lost, you should know this."

Xie Feng nodded and said: "Of course I know this, but I don't know why at this important juncture, Aiyat would withdraw the troops stationed in Dehreim."

Lyman said: "Dehrem is easy to attack but difficult to defend. If your army comes to press forward, even if Dehrem fights to the last soldier, it may not be able to defend it. However, it is precisely because of Dehrem that

It's easy to attack and difficult to defend, so they simply let you occupy it first, and then counterattack and occupy it back."

Xie Feng wondered: "Isn't this very troublesome and contradictory?"

Lehmann said: "There is no contradiction at all. If they choose to stick to Dehreim at the beginning, then after paying a huge price for protection, even if they can hold it, you will retreat at the worst possible time. After regrouping, you may make a comeback or find another plan.

This is extremely uneconomical for Swadia. However, if you can capture Dehreim first, Aiyat, who was originally stationed in Dehrem, can send additional troops to capture Dehrem.

Erborg Fort and Ruda Fort, and other Swadian soldiers can also get a period of rest and recuperation; on the other hand, Dehreem's geographical location is very special, it is on a high ground, with cliffs everywhere

, there are only a few entrances and exits. If Svadia waits for you to capture Dehrim and station the entire army before sending troops to fight back, then we will be unable to retreat due to an ambush on all sides. It can be said that this is also

A gamble by Charlotte. If the bet wins, the main force of the Six Nations Allied Forces will be annihilated. If the bet fails, Dehreim will be completely occupied by us."

Xie Feng said: "Isn't Charlotte scheming? How could she make such a gamble rashly?"

Lehmann said: "In the face of absolute strength, any strategy will not have a big effect. The Six Nations Alliance's pressure on Swadia is beyond your imagination. On the one hand, Swadia must strengthen its defense line to

On the other hand, you have to deal with the harassment and occupation of the Six Nations. On the other hand, you have to deal with the main force of the Six Nations Alliance led by you. Not to mention Charlotte, even I can't think of any good way to deal with it. So, I can only rely on

gamble!"

Xie Feng nodded to show that he understood what Lyman said, and then asked: "So, what is the information you just mentioned?"

Lyman said: "The intelligence is that Swadia has begun to take back Dehreem. If the intelligence I got is correct, Swadia will attack in three ways this time: led by Aiyat.

The soldiers of the original Dehrim led by him marched from the northwest; the coalition composed of the remaining lords of Swadia marched from the southwest; and the Swadian soldiers originally stationed in Kugit marched from the southeast."

Xie Feng couldn't help shouting: "How come you know so much?"

Lyman said calmly: "Large-scale military operations cannot be hidden from others. As long as you are willing to put in some effort, you can still find out. Moreover, we now have an intelligence provider." As he said this, Lyman looked at Julian who was standing aside.

.

Julian was originally the lord of Swadia and participated in Swadia's military operations against the Six Nations Alliance. He must have heard about some of these plans.

Lehmann continued: "Now you just need to decide whether to fight or retreat. The three armies will arrive in Dehreim within two days. So, whether you want to fight or retreat, you have to make a decision now and start executing it tomorrow -

We cannot wait for the enemy to approach the city before attacking or evacuating."

After thinking for a while, Xie Feng asked: "How many people are there in the enemy army?"

Lehmann said carefully: "Aiyat's army coming from the northwest is about 300 people. They are expected to pass through the Tosdel Woods. If they want to deal with it, they can attack them with fire in the woods; the original troops coming from the southeast

There are about 300 Swadian soldiers stationed in Kugit, maybe a little less. They will cross a canyon to Dehreim. We can ambush the crossbowmen above the canyon and then ambush them with boulders; and from

The force composed of Swadia lords coming from the southwest is the main force. It is initially estimated that there are no less than a thousand people. Since the terrain along the way they came is flat, we cannot rely on any geographical advantage and have to fight the Swadia head-on.

Wadia shocked the mainland's cavalry team and engaged in a head-on battle. Moreover, the two suggestions I mentioned before about using the location to deal with the enemy may not be effective for Charlotte. It is just my preliminary opinion. In addition, I would like to add one sentence

——Charlotte’s whereabouts are unknown, and I don’t know if she will show up to lead that army. Or she may not show up at all and have other plans.”

Regardless of the size of the three enemy armies, there is no doubt that the team led by Charlotte herself is the most terrifying. However, there is no information about Charlotte. I don’t know which army she will lead, or which team she will lead.

Whether she can lead the troops will cause some difficulties for Xie Feng in allocating combat power.

Lyman asked: "How? Fight or retreat?"

Xie Feng said: "Of course it is war! The longer the war lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be. Therefore, I hope to end the war as soon as possible. If I choose to retreat at this time, I don't know how many years and months it will take to end the war. Why don't we do it right now?

, defeat the three armies, and then fight all the way to disintegrate all Charlotte’s combat power!”

Lyman asked again: "So, how do you plan to deal with these three enemy armies?"

After thinking for a while, Xie Feng asked: "Mr. Lehmann, what do you think?"

Lyman said: "Among the three forces, regardless of Charlotte's personal factors, the most threatening one is the main Swadia force from the southwest. In terms of number, they have thousands of people who are enough to garrison with us.

Dehreim's soldiers are about the same. And in terms of quality, they definitely have a lot of cavalry. Swadia's cavalry has always been powerful in the continent, so they have to be dealt with carefully. And on the endless plains, there is no way to deal with the cavalry.

.So, our main focus still has to be on the main Swadian force in the southwest."

Xie Feng also nodded after hearing this.

Lehmann continued: "However, although we are called the Six-Nation Alliance, the military strength we can actually use is not too much. There are about 1,100 soldiers of the Six-Nation Alliance currently stationed in Dehreim, right? So we have to use it to deal with

The main force in Swadia must have at least 800 people."

"800 people?" Xie Feng clicked his tongue and said, "Do you need so many people?"

Lyman said: "If it is just to win this war, with the wind unloader and the 'Fire Dragon Series' war weapons we have prepared, I estimate that 600 people are enough. However, our purpose is not just for this.

A victory in the Dehreim Guardian War is for the victory of the entire strategy against Swadia. For this reason, we have to ensure that after this Guardian War is over, we will still have more combat power left. This

800 people are our main combat force. After annihilating the enemy's main force, we will rush to other places for rescue and defeat the enemy's units one by one. In this way, at least we can ensure that these 800 people will be protected after the battle is over.

The main force suffered little damage. As for the 00 people sent to delay the enemy in the other two routes, I think they can be discarded."

"Abandon it?" Xie Feng frowned and said, "You just gave up three hundred lives?"

Lyman said indifferently: "I am just for the victory of the entire strategy against Swadia."

Xie Feng took a deep breath and asked: "So, what are you going to do with the remaining three hundred people?"

Lehman said: "The enemy troops on the remaining two routes have good terrain to rely on. Arrange 50 people in the canyon and 50 people in the woods, which is enough to support our main force to come to rescue. Of course, these 00 people

One must be a soldier who is not afraid of death and is loyal enough, otherwise if one escapes from the battlefield, Dehreim will still be captured."

Xie Feng asked: "When the main force rushes to the rescue, how many of the three hundred people will be left?"

Lyman said: "If the plan goes well, it will be about 0 to 50."

Xie Feng said: "What do you mean by your words, do you want me to sacrifice nearly 100 loyal soldiers?"

Lyman said: "Yes."

Lyman thought Xie Feng would protest and had already thought of the words in his mind.

Unexpectedly, Xie Feng actually said: "Okay, I will arrange it."

Lyman was shocked. He didn't expect that Xie Feng actually agreed to sacrifice 00 loyal soldiers.

When Xie Feng made this decision, his heart really hurt, but he knew in his heart that as long as he defeated Charlotte, he could go back to his own world. Everything in this world was just an illusory world of data.

He must start from now - no, from the first time he knows the truth, he must understand the world.

Suddenly, Tan Zuo, who was waiting on the side, asked Lehmann: "Mr. Lehmann, are you saying that the troops led by Aiyat in the northwest will pass through a forest?"

Lyman said: "As expected, it should be."

Tan Zuo said: "So..." Then he said to Xie Feng: "I think I can help share the pressure over there. Only a hundred people on the other side of the woods are enough to fight against Aiyat's troops."

Xie Feng asked in confusion: "Tan Zuo, what are your plans?"

Tan Zuo said: "I can't say what a plan is. I just asked a friend to help."

"Who?" Xie Feng asked. In Xie Feng's impression, Tan Zuo probably didn't have many friends - oh, except for a guy who cheated money by divination. But could that guy play such a big role?

But Tan Zuo pretended to be mysterious and said: "You will know when the time comes."

Xie Feng still trusted Tan Zuo enough. Since Tan Zuo dared to make such a suggestion, it proved that he also had enough confidence, so he did not ask any more questions at the moment and announced: "Okay! We will send out troops to fight early tomorrow morning.

The woods to the northwest of the enemy were led by Tan Zuo with a hundred soldiers to guard, and the canyon to the southeast was led by Lyman..."

"Wait!" Lyman suddenly interrupted: "I will stay with you. The soldiers in the canyon will be led by Charlie."

Xie Feng asked in confusion: "Is this okay?" As he said that, Xie Feng looked at Charlie.

Although Charlie's ability can be recognized by himself, Charlie, as the deputy leader of an adventure group, had no relationship with the Six Nations Allied Forces before. If he were to lead the troops rashly, it would inevitably make the soldiers dissatisfied.

Lyman said: "Just do as I say. In addition, Charlie and Tan Zuo's team must arrange at least five scouts on fast horses to report the situation at any time."

Xie Feng had no choice. Since Lyman asked so, he couldn't say anything - after all, Lyman was Xie Feng's biggest support in defeating Swadia as quickly as possible. So Xie Feng said: "Then, the canyon in the southeast is

Let Charles lead two hundred crossbowmen to defend it. I will lead the rest of the soldiers and other people to the southwest to confront the enemy's main force head-on!"

…

That night, thick clouds covered the bright moon in the sky, and everything was hazy.

Lyman was wearing a thick felt cloak to keep out the cold. He stood on the platform at the top of Dehrim's castle and looked into the distance.

"Mr. Lyman, are you still asleep?" Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Lyman.

Under the hazy moonlight, the man could be vaguely recognized as Charlie.

Lyman did not look back and said calmly: "Isn't it the same for you?"

Charlie sighed and said, "I came out to enjoy the night breeze to relax my mind because I still couldn't let go of my brother's death and felt sad."

Lyman also sighed and said, "How can I never feel worried?"

Charlie asked: "What is Mr. Lyman worried about? Isn't everything in Mr.'s plan?"

Lyman said: "Although everything is in my plan, it is very likely that everything about us is also in other people's plans. In short, I feel that tomorrow's battle will not go as smoothly as I planned." (To be continued.)
