1301 Imperial Sword (4)

"Lord Governor!"

Statunko's name swept through the sky like lightning, and in an instant, the Salander officer had fallen to his knees, and several other Salander cavalrymen knelt on the ground one after another, their heads bowed to the ground, and they didn't dare to gasp,

For the Salander people, the southern governor of the Falcon Empire, Statunko, is almost the master of Saland, and no one thought that the young man with a cold face in front of him would lead the army across the sea and run thousands of miles to end the imperial ministers of the former Salander Dynasty, because of his benevolent and appropriate style, even the conquered Salander people, the evaluation of the southern governor of this empire is "wise and brave"

The Salander officer replied in a trembling voice, "My lord, we are from the second team of the sixth regiment of the Northern Alliance, and I am Xavier, the knight of Mamunuk, under the command of Lord Jerome, and these people are my retinue!" "You are from the Northern Alliance?"

Statunko snorted heavily, his gaze as sharp as a knife. Sweeping the hesitant faces of these Salander cavalrymen, and then looking at their wolf bèi, who was wet all over their bodies, suddenly, his eyebrows tightly twisted together, "Say, what's going on?"

Statunko's two sword eyebrows were raised, and his voice was terrifyingly low: "How can you become such a wolf, where is the position of the coalition army now? If there is a lie, I will immediately order you to be buried alive as deserters!"

"We're not deserters! We're sent to El Alamein by Grand Duke Nilai for help!" Officer Salander didn't bother to explain the situation when he was panicking, but raised his head and shouted loudly, "Help!"

As soon as this word came out, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly shook,

No one spoke, but several Southern Army Flag Commanders behind Statunko all glanced at Cleveland, the commander of the Fifth Banner, who was sitting on the left,

This guy's prediction turned out to be true! The Normans really chose the location of the battle, just before the Northern Coalition was about to reach its goal. From the current point of view, the form of the coalition army must be very bad, otherwise these Salander cavalry would not have fallen into such a state" Is this a godsend?"

Cleveland's face compared to the surprised looks of several other generals. Instead, a flash of excitement flashed, as if thinking about something, he suddenly walked up from behind Statunko and asked loudly, "How is the situation of the coalition forces, won or defeated?"

Officer Salander's face was like dirt, and he remembered the fierceness of yesterday's battle, and lowered his head. He replied with a sad expression

"In the early hours of yesterday morning, the main forces of the coalition army encountered the main forces of Normandy in Arkachon, because it was inevitable that the upper echelons of the coalition army hastily decided to fight a decisive battle with the Normans in Arkavi, because of the unfavorable terrain and insufficient preparation, in just two hours, the left flank of the coalition army of 7,000 men was first broken under the onslaught of the Normanish cavalry. Then the 4,000 Chinese troops held the ground to cover the withdrawal of the only intact right flank" "The fierce battle until noon, under the attack of the Normans on both sides, the Chinese army of the old Duke of Russia and Germany also collapsed. Only the right flank of the Grand Duke of Nilai ......" The voice of the Salander officer suddenly stopped, "What's wrong with the right flank?" Statunko couldn't wait to ask in a hurry, this is the focus of his concern, if Princess Nilai dies in the chaos, he is afraid that the furious majesty will order the entire Normandy to be cleaned.

The scene of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood made this important minister of the empire also feel numb in his scalp, "Although there is a desperate resistance of the Chinese army and a delay, the right flank is retreating. Or was bitten to the death by the Normandy 3,000 light cavalry" Officer Salander's face turned pale, gritted his teeth, and his eyes showed a painful look "Our army retreated while fighting, the enemy was very cunning, but he did not follow and did not engage, in desperation, in order to avoid entering the plains and becoming the target of the enemy's slaughter, the Grand Duke of Nilai could only order 2,000 remnants of the army to hold at Fort Dikiri, 20 miles away,

When we were sent out, the 3,000 light cavalry of Normandy had already arrived at the outpost of Fort Dikiri, and when we came out, there were 24 men, but now only 5 of us remained, and the others were killed, and we don't know what was going on now!" "Fort Dikiri?"

Hearing that Princess Nilai had not been defeated by the Normans, Statunko's face was slightly better, and he quickly came to the map placed in the middle, spread out the map heavily, and soon found the Fort Dikiri in the mouth of the Salander officer,

Judging from the markings on the map, this is not a fortress-style big castle, but it is surrounded by rivers on three sides, and has a certain defensive advantage for the light cavalry with strong assault, but if you wait until the main Normandy force dominated by infantry arrives, it is absolutely impossible to hold on to such a small fortress!" "My lord, we must act immediately!" Cleveland walked up from behind with a cloudy face, glanced at the map, and said next to Statunko, "This is a good opportunity to annihilate the main Normandy force in one fell swoop!" "What do you mean?"

Statunko glanced at him coldly, and the cold murderous aura coming out of his body made the temperature in the military tent drop by a few degrees, Statunko is not a fool, how could he not know the meaning of Cleveland's words,

Using Nilai as a lure to attract the main force of Normandy, and then the army flanks attack, it will inevitably be able to defeat the Normans in one fell swoop, but the consequence of this strategic deployment is that the bait must be able to hold out to the end, and even have the preparation to be eaten.

According to the character of the Falcon Majesty, even if he wins this battle, he will be dismantled!" "Don't misunderstand, adults"

Cleveland was seen sweating all over his body, his hair stood on end, and he hurriedly explained, "My plan is this, since the Normans do not know the existence of our army, they must be moving towards Fort Dikiri with all their strength at this moment, the Normans have just won the victory, and they will definitely not pay attention to the connection between the various troops, then we can completely bypass the enemy advance of Fort Dikiri with lightly armed troops, cut off the main force of the Normandy army halfway, and take him by surprise!" "Then what if the Normans arrive before us?" The coldness on Statunko's face dissipated a little, and he was silent for a while,

This is indeed a better way, as long as the main Normandy force cannot arrive, with only 3,000 light cavalry, it is impossible to forcibly break through the small fortress guarded by 2,000 people, and the combat power of the Nilai personal guard, in terms of equipment and training, is not weaker than the regular army of the falconry "If the Normans arrive before us, then our army can just storm its back and attack ...... on both sides!" Cleveland said with confidence and a hideous face (to be continued.) )
