The map is Eugene's map, and the annotations on it contain extremely detailed information obtained by the Red Leaf Knights, the Twelfth Legion, the Fano Army, and the bandits on the front lines when they went deep into the enemy's rear.
Judging from the map, Fei Lie's army attacking Lulian started from the coastal port city and formed two arrows that penetrated into the hinterland of Lulian.
The two arrows, after crossing the line between Wanshan County and Qingshui County, have merged together. The right-wing group surrounded Wanshan County and attacked the Luotuoao where Archduke Adolf was located day and night. The left-wing group protruded northward, with a straight front.
Refers to Meding City, which is currently fighting on a front line with the Solan Army led by Fano on a line 30 kilometers south of Meding City.
The shape of the entire Phillie Army looks like a huge onion, wrapped together layer by layer. Or, in other words, like a huge whirlwind sweeping through the hinterland of Lulian.
According to intelligence, the total strength of Fei Lie's army in Lulian has reached 100,000. Among them, the two front-line attack groups are about 70,000. The remaining troops are still moving northward. There are coastal cities as bases, and some
There was an endless stream of fleets transporting troops, and Phileas had actually established a foothold in Lulian.
Although after forming this coalition, Lulian's strength was as high as 70,000. If you add the more than 10,000 people in Archduke Adolf's hands, it is almost the same as the number of Feili. However, in terms of combat effectiveness, Solan's army
But it's only half, or even one-third of the opponent's.
This is still calculated based on the current situation.
And once the Phillies break through the mountainous area of Medding City, their world-famous cavalry will be like tigers released from their cages. Their combat effectiveness will more than double!
Roy had never studied war command and had no similar experience. Therefore, as far as the military was concerned, he was just a layman who had taken a week-long lesson from a retired centurion commander.
The plan to rescue Archduke Adolf had already been discussed at the Green Tower Manor. It was the joint masterpiece of Kalenich the Dragon Gate Iron Gate and Percy the Blood Fox. Roy didn't think he could come up with anything better than this.
plan comes.
However, looking at the map at this moment, Roy felt that something was a little weird. This slightly awkward feeling kept spinning in his mind, but he couldn't catch it.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Roy shook his head and said: "I can't get in the way of military command matters. General Eugene and all the officers are experts. I won't talk nonsense. Mr. Percy,
Please tell everyone about our plan and seek the opinions of General Eugene and the lords."
Roy's modesty made the nobles, including Earl Cajuns, breathe a sigh of relief.
What they fear most is that this guy is young and gets his ambitions, and gives blind orders without knowing the heights of the world. However, Lulian now has a large part of the right to speak, and it is in his hands. If nothing else, just the four people under his command.
The Great Bright Knight, more than twenty glorious knights, if he insists on something, no one can really object.
Percy nodded and explained the plan to everyone.
"Mr. Eugene, everyone, you can take a look here, here and here..." Percy picked up a quill pen and dipped it in ink. He drew three tripartite circles at the locations of Wanshan County and Qingshui County.
. Said, "This is the current focus of the Fei Lie people's troop deployment. Xuelin Town, Muyang Slope and Night Canyon."
The nobles gathered around Percy and listened with rapt attention.
"These three places are important places for transportation between the north and the south. Setting up military camps in these three places is the right choice for every commander. As long as we control these places, we can not only protect the logistics supply channels from the southern coast
, Moreover, it can also communicate the connection between the two Fei Lie legions. However..."
Percy changed the subject, drew a cross on the circle of the night canyon with the tip of his quill pen, and said: "From the information we received from General Fano on the front line, we can find that the strength of Fei Lie's army in this area is relatively weak. As the situation continues,
Some time ago, the Solan Army launched several attacks, all of which achieved considerable results, and our frontline has already approached the enemy's center camp in the Night Canyon."
Eugene and everyone looked at each other with solemn expressions. They all knew that Fano's purpose was to penetrate the night canyon and rescue Archduke Adolf. But from what Percy said, it seemed...
"This is Philly's tactic." Sure enough, Percy said decisively, "They deliberately moved away from this area to induce us to focus our attack on this area, and then force us to fight them decisively here!
"
This judgment caused everyone to be in an uproar and talk about it.
"Why do you say that?" Eugene asked, "Is there any benefit for Philly to choose to fight here?"
"First of all, let's take a look at the terrain here. In the two counties of Wanshan and Qingshui where mountains, river valleys and hills are the main terrain, the trumpet-shaped area in front of the Night Canyon is a rare flat land. Moreover, the terrain is higher in the south and lower in the north.
It is most conducive to cavalry charges. From this point of view, it is not surprising at all that Philippe chose this place as the main battlefield..."
Percy and Kalenich had discussed these things countless times. When they heard Eugene's question, they answered without hesitation, "Secondly, let's take a look at Philly's logistics supply route and troop strength.
Deployment location. Look, here, here..."
Percy said as he placed deduction chess pieces on the cowhide map for use in battle deductions.
His explanation was like a scalpel, accurately dissecting the seemingly chaotic battlefield situation. Where and how many troops were stationed at Philippe, whether they were cavalry or infantry, what their combat effectiveness was, and who the commander was. Once the decisive battle
It will be explained one by one when the troops will break out, by which route they will be put into the battlefield, and what impact they will have on the battle.
After half a prayer, as the oak chess pieces in Percy's hand continued to move and exchange on the map, the expressions of the nobles present became extremely ugly.
Everyone discovered that Fei Liao had a huge advantage in terms of terrain, troop strength, logistics supplies, marching routes, and the speed of entering the battlefield.
Now they seem to be unhurried, but in fact they have used Archduke Adolf to open a huge pocket. Once the decisive battle is formed in the Night Canyon, the surrounding Fei Lie troops can quickly enter the battle. The nearest unit only needs one
You can go into battle when you pray, and the farthest troops can arrive within two days.
It is not surprising that a major battle involving more than 100,000 troops from both sides would last three to five days or even one or two weeks. Fei Lie's army had enough time to calmly mobilize their troops and take advantage of their strength and the strength of the Night Canyon.
The terrain was suitable for their cavalry to exert their impact and annihilate Solan's main force.
Of course, real battles are not war games. If Solan's army fights to the death, they may not lose. But the chance of that is too small. The greater possibility is that the entire army will be wiped out.
"General Eugene," a lord said worriedly, "I think Mr. Percy's judgments are very reasonable. We must notify General Fano immediately!"
Before Eugene could answer, Percy shook his head and said, "No!"
"Why?" the lord asked in surprise.
Percy said: "I believe that General Fano should be aware of this even without us reminding him. But the safety of Archduke Adolf depends on this. This battle has to be fought. Besides, with the Red Leaf Knights and the Tenth
The Second Army has established a firm foothold. If it can maintain pressure on the enemy on both the left and right wings at the same time, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose in this decisive battle..."
"But..." All the nobles looked worried. "Isn't this too risky?"
"Yes, I know it's the enemy's trap but I still step into it..."
During the discussion, Percy said calmly: "Actually, have you ever thought that Philly wants to force us to fight, and this is actually an opportunity for us to rescue the Grand Duke?"
The room suddenly became quiet.
"Oh? Mr. Percy, what is your plan..." Eugene asked.
"Our plan is not complicated," Percy said, pointing to a place on the map between Xuelin Town and Muyangpo: "This place is called Qingshui Stream. It is a small river where Qingshui County and Wanshan County meet.
The river valley is between two mountains and is surrounded by dense forests. If you go down the river valley, you will reach Baron Cohen's castle. I think everyone should be familiar with this place."
Everyone nodded. Some of them had been guests at Baron Cohen's house and knew the place well.
After the invasion of Fei Lie's army, Wanshan County fell. Baron Cohen's castle held out for about a week and was finally captured by the enemy. This was the last castle among the noble lords of Wanshan County to be captured. Now, Baron Cohen
The fort is already an advanced military camp of the enemy. It has a large amount of food and grass supplies.
"Baron Cohen's Castle is built on a mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack," Percy said. "At the same time, because it connects the north and the south, it has always been an important base for Phillie. There are more than 3,000 people stationed here alone.
of military strength.”
Having said this, Percy paused for a moment, waiting for everyone to digest the information, and then pressed the location of Baron Cohen's castle with his fist, and said word by word: "I just said that Phillie is trying to attract us in the night.
Canyon and a decisive battle with them. Once the decisive battle breaks out, the troops they deployed around will enter the battlefield one after another..."
Percy used his hands to push away a few chess pieces west of Baron Cohen's castle, near the Night Canyon, and continued: "If we wait for them to allocate all their troops and attention to the Night Canyon, and suddenly a sudden attack
A surprise force was formed to seize Baron Cohen's castle... If you were Commander Philip, what would you do?"
"The location here is too important. For Philip, it is like a stab in the vest. It not only cuts off the connection between the two frontline armies, but also threatens their logistics supply line and retreat route," Eugene said without hesitation.
Authentic, "If I were the commander of Fei Lie's army, I would take it back at all costs!"
"So, the battle in the Night Canyon is imminent, and all the troops around him have been mobilized. Which troops will you use?" Percy stared at Eugene and asked. On his thin face full of wrinkles, a pair of eyes shone with a cunning light.
"Yes..." Eugene's eyes scanned the map, pointing to a Feili military camp fifteen kilometers away, "Here. This is Baihe Town in Qingshui County, where two thousand Fei Lie troops are stationed.
Once Baron Cohen's castle is threatened, a messenger falcon or a beacon will immediately notify them. Maybe reinforcements will have arrived before we capture the castle..."
"Well, this is the Polish Mountain Cavalry Regiment of Philip's Right Wing Army..." Percy nodded and said, "If the Polish Mountain Cavalry Regiment rushes to the aid of Castle Korn, then let's see how the Right Wing Army encircles Archduke Adolf..."
As Percy pushed aside the chess piece representing the Polish Mountain Cavalry Regiment, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up!
The town of White River where the Polish Mountain Cavalry Regiment is stationed is the second line of Archduke Adolf's encirclement. It controls two areas at the same time and is responsible for supporting and flanking protection when the front line is tight. Once the Polish Mountain Cavalry Regiment is mobilized to Baron Cohen
Although the castle and the Felie people's encirclement are still tight, the strength of the encirclement in this direction is much weaker. Southwest of the Polish mountain town, there is only one cavalry of less than two thousand! And other surrounding troops. Recently.
are all five kilometers away.
In the mountainous area, this also means that as long as he does not hesitate to fight and breaks through with all his strength, Archduke Adolf can definitely get a gap that lasts for half an hour and break through the encirclement along the river valley!
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared before my eyes.
"Okay!" Eugene and Count Cazes cheered at the same time!
"Mr. Percy." Count Cousins' eyes shone and he asked excitedly, "How many people are needed to complete this plan?"
"No matter how many people there are, there is no telling," Eugene said loudly. "You can choose the elites in the army. No matter who it is, as long as you like it, including us people, give it to whomever you want!"
"I also want to show my attitude," Mrs. Joyce said with a graceful chuckle. "The knights under our command will definitely obey the orders. In addition, we will provide the armor, weapons, and horses. They are absolutely the best.
."
"Yes, that's right! So do we!"
"As long as we can rescue the Grand Duke and teach Philip a lesson, we will give him whatever he wants!"
"General Percy, our fifth knight brigade, please sign up first!"
"We're not bad either!"
The lords and generals were in high spirits and talking a lot.
Percy and Roy looked at each other and smiled. With the support of the coalition forces, the bandit army's plan became much easier. The previous idea of secretly pulling a team from the ragtag army was naturally not even mentioned.
Percy pondered for a moment.
Before that, he and Kalenich had planned the number of people to attack Baron Cohen's castle to be 1,500.
However, that is only considering selecting people from the ragtag army.
But now, since the elites of the coalition can be selected at will, the size of this team does not need to be so large. As long as sufficient combat effectiveness can be guaranteed, the smaller the number, the more conducive to organization and management, and the more conducive to concealment during the march.
"Eight hundred people!" Percy quickly estimated a figure and said: "If we want to capture Baron Cohen's castle in one fell swoop and hold it for a period of time to attract the enemy's troops, we will need at least 800 elite troops."
"No problem!" Eugene said with the final word!
The meeting ended at night.
Before the people in the meeting dispersed, the entire military camp was already in a state of excitement because of the issuance of the selection order.
After experiencing a previous storm, the soldiers in the army who were loyal to Archduke Adolf became more united.
The knight's oath and the voice of "Long Live Saint Solan" are still echoing in the sky above the city of Munich. Every time everyone talks about it, their blood is surging and their hearts are excited.
Even those private knights, not everyone is willing to abandon the knight's code and follow the lord to cause chaos. After all, this is their land, and those standing behind them are their relatives after all. Compared with internal disputes, the ferocious Fei
The strong enemy is the enemy. After the failure of their lord's rebellion, many private soldiers put down their burdens.
The atmosphere of collusion among the troops in the city was completely wiped out.
Although no one expects this coalition to fight any tough battles in the short term, the enthusiasm for registration as soon as the selection order was issued completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
Especially those high-spirited students from the three major training camps, the angry Munich Guard officers and soldiers, and the rabble-rousing desperadoes who entered the camp just to earn military merits, the registration points were almost overcrowded.
Although due to the need for confidentiality, the higher-ups did not reveal the whereabouts of this special force. But everyone smelled something unusual from the selection criteria for selecting the best from the best - there were Great Light Knights and more than twenty Glory Knights stationed there.
Even the long knights of the Munich City Guard need to participate in the selection. How high is the level of this unit? Do you still need to ask?
A man lives in troubled times and wants to make contributions and leave a name in history. If he misses this opportunity, he will have no place to cry. Moreover, in a life-and-death battle on the battlefield, surrounded by beautiful people, naturally the stronger the better. The strong only recognize the strong, and no one wants to
Fight with those companions who run all over the mountains and fields with trembling legs when they see blood.
Sign up!
No matter what, I want to join this team!
The magic moon hangs high in the sky, and the headquarters conference room of the Chinese army camp is already empty. The flickering candlelight reflects the map full of marks and the messy deduction chess pieces, flickering in and out. Eugene, Ka
Earl Zins, Avery and Mrs. Joyce stood on the balcony of the small building, staring at the brightly lit military camp and the bustle of people.
The night wind blows, and this scene seems like a world away.
Looking at the soldiers gathered at the registration point, looking at the knights who surrounded the officers and rushed to ask what happened, it was hard to believe that just this morning, this city and this coalition army experienced a war.
Thrilling storm.
"It's unbelievable," Count Cazes sighed as he watched Percy and Roy riding away downstairs. "Who would have thought that the man behind this great change would be such a young man?
Man. Compared with him, we are really too old."
"Mr. Kazins, you don't include me in your words." Mrs. Joyce chuckled, "I'm still young."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled.
After laughing for a while, Eugene said with emotion: "I was chatting with Mr. Percy just now, and he gave me a very frank explanation. There are actually four great knights of light and twenty-one knights of glory among Roy's followers.
, one hundred and four just knights and fifty brave knights... damn, they are richer than me, the commander of the coalition forces!"
Eugene's sudden swear words made everyone present burst into laughter again.
While laughing, everyone also felt a little incredible. These high-level knights are all arrogant and arrogant, and it is not easy to recover. With Roy's status, even if it is ten times higher, he can get a just knight.
Allegiance is already very good, not to mention such an almost luxurious lineup.
Moreover, the most disgusting thing is that this kid is so arrogant. Who knows that underneath that vague and harmless smile, there is such a delicate heart hidden.
Compared with this little fox, everyone present felt that their lives had been in vain these years.
"We all know what happened last night," Earl Cazes suddenly remembered something and asked, "But what do you think happened to Joseph? Could it be that he is also a member of this boy Roy?"
"No way?" Everyone looked at each other.
To be honest, in the scene between Wenger and the Eastern Expeditionary Army, anyone could tell that there was a tacit collusion between the Holy See and Schilling. But no one expected that Joseph would actually pull off such a trick.
Although judging from the trajectory of his fortune, it was by standing at the front desk with a fiercely loyal appearance and singing against those members of the Holy See who had taken refuge in the Langlys family that he won the favor of Archbishop Wallace and rose to the top. But this time, everyone
It can be seen that this is definitely not what Archbishop Wallace meant.
Joseph dared to take the risk of offending Wallace and made his own decision. If there was no other reason, no one would believe him.
Hearing Count Cazes' words at this moment, everyone showed a suspicious expression on their faces. Although they couldn't believe that a popular figure in the Vatican like Joseph would have anything to do with Roy, a thorn in the side of the Vatican, when it came to dealing with Schilling
, these two people who have nothing to do with each other are too in sync, right?
"Wait..." Suddenly, Avery remembered something and said solemnly, "Do you still remember the last time Bishop Saki of the West District pretended to be a bandit and attacked the Sapphire Hotel?"
With this reminder, everyone's expressions changed.
In silence, Eugene said in surprise, "You mean..."
"Suddenly, he appeared out of nowhere. In just a few weeks, he wiped out all the bandit groups around Munich. They came and went like wind and invaded like fire, causing panic in the entire underground world. Then, they attacked the fifth army.
The transportation team killed Bishop Saki of the Western District and committed a shocking crime. This bandit army..." Avery said with a bitter smile, "Except for Roy's guys, I really can't think of anyone else."
On the balcony, it suddenly became very quiet.
It was so quiet that everyone could hear their own heartbeat beating faster and faster.
Everyone discovered that while the whole world was speculating on who was behind Munich, they had discovered a bigger secret.
After a long time, Count Cazes swallowed hard, turned to look at the direction Roy left, and murmured: "This boy is so bold and lawless!"
