Chapter 71 The situation rises, the expedition army!
Facing the joint efforts of the Senate and the royal family, the entire expeditionary force will face an imperial encirclement and suppression.
Zhao Yun learned the latest news from the intelligence personnel he contacted.
If you want to get rid of the current predicament and break out of the encirclement, you must first kill the Central Army, which is very dangerous to the expeditionary force. As for the knights? Zhao Yun doesn't take them seriously yet. They are all composed of knights and nobles, so what?
?It’s nothing more than a show! This newly formed “delicate” unit is not even qualified to carry shoes for the Second Army!
The Central Army is a bit trickier, mainly because they are all light cavalry. The Second Army can actually be classified as light cavalry, but the strong tiger and leopard cavalry prefer to rush into the enemy formation and kill happily instead of
Hang from a distance and kill the enemy with a bow and arrow.
Therefore, when classifying the army, Pang Tong classified the Second Army as heavy cavalry, because the impact of the Second Army was no less than that of Yanyun's cavalry!
The light cavalry and the heavy cavalry directly confront each other, and you don’t have to think about it to know who will win and who will lose. Therefore, Zhao Yun is not afraid of the Central Army, but if they bite the tail, the 150,000 infantry used for mobile decisive battles will not be so easy to deal with.
Yes.
Therefore, finding a way to find an opportunity to eliminate these 10,000 light cavalry has become Zhao Yun's current top priority.
Taking out the map, Zhao Yun was looking for a suitable location.
According to the news sent by intelligence personnel, after two days of delay, judging from the speed of the light cavalry troops, the Central Army has entered the southern plain area. Therefore, the time left for the expeditionary force is not very abundant. All Zhao Yun has to do is to quickly search for
Opportunity to eliminate them and then move to the second stage of strategy!
"Well, you have to hurry up and let this place be the place where your myth ends!" Zhao Yun looked at an area on the map and said in a deep voice.
On the map, the place Zhao Yun selected was a densely populated place east of Alton and the main transportation distribution center east of the Alton Empire, Ayre City.
The inevitability of fate is caused by countless accidents.
Linda in Ayr City was preparing. After leaving the Senate, Linda hurried back to Ayr City.
Most of the forces she controlled radiated outward from Aiur City, so after learning about the movements of the expeditionary force, Linda hurriedly returned here.
However, she didn't have much time. The middle-aged man knocked on the door and walked in after Linda signaled.
"Miss, the Central Army has set off!"
The middle-aged man's words shocked Linda, who was sorting out information.
She raised her head and looked at the middle-aged man, "When?"
"Just two days ago, after the imperial capital's expedition celebrations, they headed directly to the south." The middle-aged man handed Linda the information in his hand.
Linda checked the information and confirmed the news again.
"No! Aier City is no longer safe!" Linda suddenly said loudly.
The middle-aged man looked at Linda in confusion, wondering why the lady suddenly said this.
"If my guess is correct, the Dragon City army should also know about the Central Army's actions. What do you think they will do?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and then said: "If I were the commander of the Dragon City Army, I would definitely find a way to eat the strength of the Central Army first."
Linda nodded in agreement and continued: "Yes, we all know that once the Central Army bites the tail of Dragon City, they will lose their most important strategic advantage, and in the end they are likely to be overwhelmed by the incoming army. Even if
They have powerful forces, but there is a huge disparity in numbers, and they are ultimately defeated."
After a pause, "If you want to capture the Central Army, which is also a cavalry force, the Dragon City Expeditionary Army has only a few options!"
As she spoke, Linda took out the map, pointed at it and continued: "Look, let's assume that the Dragon City Expeditionary Force is in this area at the moment, then he must choose a location suitable to force the Central Army to join the rescue! Then it seems that only
Ayre City fits the bill!”
The middle-aged man suddenly realized, "What a move to surround and support!"
Yes, what Linda discovered was exactly Zhao Yun's plan. This is not a difficult strategy to understand, it is a very simple move to surround the target and bring reinforcements!
The Senate and the Alton Empire will not tolerate a second Lys City tragedy! So after they learned that Ayre City was besieged, they must come to the rescue!
And the only one who can arrive quickly as a rescue force is the Central Army. This is a conspiracy! You have to follow the arrangements of the expeditionary force!
Time, the most critical thing is time! Before completing the encirclement, the Senate must ensure that Ayre City is not broken, and other armies rush to help, leaving only the Central Army!
The middle-aged man said with admiration: "The commander of the expeditionary force is so calculating!"
Linda nodded in agreement, but they were now in Ayre City, and most of their forces were here. Now that it was about to become a battleground between the two sides, Linda was very nervous.
"Miss, let's leave here for now. If the organization is gone, we can reorganize it, but miss, you can't be in danger!" the middle-aged man said seriously to Linda.
Linda also knew that it was not appropriate to stay here at this time, so she had to agree to leave this dangerous place first.
However, it seems that God always likes to play tricks on mortals. Just when they were about to leave, the alarm bell in Ayr City also rang.
The middle-aged man sighed, looked at the closed city gate, and gave up the attempt to negotiate. The panicked city defense army had completely alerted the city gate. If anyone wanted to negotiate at this time, they would definitely be arrested.
Kill the nervous city defenders! They don’t want to become the second Eden City!
Back home, Linda looked very calm. It was completely different from the middle-aged man's anxious expression.
"Forget it, since it's late, just wait peacefully." Linda said calmly when she saw the anxious middle-aged man.
"Miss! It is difficult for Ayr City to block the attack of the expeditionary force. Even if their target is the Central Army, there is no guarantee that Ayr City will not be breached! Besides..."
"Besides, I'm a member of the Senate, right?" Linda interrupted.
"Yes! Judging from the iron-blooded methods of the expeditionary force, all members of the Senate will be killed before they reach any place! So, Miss, please hide in the secret room for now!" The middle-aged man tried to make Linda understand the current dangerous situation.
Linda smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if Aier City is destroyed, I will naturally have a way to protect myself."
The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but Linda told him to calm down. The top priority was to shrink the forces in the city immediately. If the city was breached, there must be no conflict with the expeditionary force.
The middle-aged man sighed and went out to arrange Linda's instructions.
At this time, outside Aier City, two thousand tiger and leopard cavalry arrived first, led by Ma Chao, watching this important eastern town from a distance.
They were urgently summoned by Zhao Yun after nightfall yesterday and rushed to Ayr City overnight. Even the sturdy Tiger and Leopard Cavalry felt a little exhausted. Fortunately, their mission was just to show up and let the central army know about the crisis in Ayr City.
That’s it.
As Zhao Yun thought, the information about the crisis in Ayr City was quickly transmitted, using the snow eagle domesticated within the Senate as a tool, and it only took one day to reach the hands of the Central Army!
The general of the Central Army, Ace Kahn, saw the intention of the expeditionary force, but he could not see the city of Ayr destroyed like this, so he had no choice but to rush towards the direction of the city for reinforcements.
However, for the sake of safety, Ace issued an order to the knights not far away, asking them to go together and turn around on the road. And another order was sent to the slow encirclement and suppression infantry regiment, asking them to also go together.
Move to Ayre City!
"I hope we can come in a hurry!" After issuing the order, Ace led the central army to move towards the east with all its strength.
The expeditionary force's actions amazed many people who were paying attention to the situation in Alton.
After the Central Army set off, Alter called Halford in the Byron Palace, "What do you think?"
After Halford learned that Alton's Central Army had left the imperial capital, he looked at the map and did not directly answer the emperor's question. His Majesty Alt did not pay attention either, just waiting for Halford to think.
Soon after, Halford pointed to the direction of Ayre City on the map and said, "The Central Army is an army that the empire has always regarded as a serious problem. I think the commanders of Dragon City must also be aware of their advantages, so they must
Find a way to eliminate or severely damage the Central Army to prevent them from being bitten by the Central Army, which is also famous for its speed, during a series of subsequent maneuvers. Therefore, they don’t have many options. There is only one move to force the Central Army to fight them!"
Art's eyes lit up, "Then what plan will they use?"
Halford pointed at the location indicated by his finger, "Ayre City, this is the location chosen by the expeditionary force!"
"Oh? Here?" Art put his head on the map and looked at the city name.
"Yes, Your Majesty. This is a very critical location! Because there are no troops around it!"
Art suddenly realized it and slapped the table, "What a plan! What a plan!"
Halford nodded, "Yes, if my prediction is correct, the Dragon City Expeditionary Force may have arrived at Aier City by now!"
Alt looked at Halford with relief. "Haha, our generals are not bad either! Halford, do you think they have a chance?"
"It's hard to say, but I think the Central Army will definitely lose."
Art became more energetic: "How do you say this?"
"I have studied the Dragon City Expeditionary Force. Judging from the information I received, they were a heavily armed force at the beginning of this war!" Halford specifically highlighted the word "heavy armored."
"After that, I don't know from what source we obtained tens of thousands of infantry, but according to my analysis, they are definitely not the army within Dragon City!"
Art frowned, and he was also very surprised about the sudden appearance of the infantry. At this time, Halford thought that it was not Dragon City's army, but a traitor to the Alton Empire.
"Your Majesty, I have a bold guess!" Halford said when he saw Alt frowning and thinking hard.
"you say."
"Your Majesty, if I am leading the expeditionary force and the troops are insufficient, there is only one option." Halford paused, "Replenish on the spot!"
Alt stood up suddenly, took two steps back and forth in the room, and then said: "You mean right here!"
"Yes!" Halford nodded heavily.
Alt took a deep breath and said, "I would like to meet the commander of the expeditionary force. It would be disrespectful to refuse to serve the Byron Empire!"
Halford frowned, but didn't say anything. Regarding this on-the-spot supplement, he knew that the process would definitely not be that simple. If it were him, he might not be able to use this method ruthlessly. This shows how serious the commander of the expeditionary force is.
