Section 27 Crewe Leads Offensive and Defensive Battles (3)

Early in the morning of September 13th,

As soon as Pedi stepped out of his private room, Eden handed Pedi an urgent letter and reminded him in a low voice, "It's from the Duchess from Crewe, you should probably check it out as soon as possible." ”

Pedi was stunned, and took back the gesture of throwing the letter on the desk, and lowered his eyelids to seriously examine the sealed letter, which was only half the size of a palm, and the giant bear badge on the seal and the row of small letters in the corner of the envelope proved Eden's words.

This is indeed a letter from the Duchess of Saviara, and most of the reminder from Hu is because this letter was sent from a special channel.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps reached Pedy's ears, and he looked up in the direction from which the sound came from, and it was Sir Glick, the Chief of Staff, and others who were approaching Pedi, and it was evident that it was time for the morning meeting.

But all he could do was the letter in his hand, so he waved his hand at the chief of staff in the distance, motioning for them to wait a little longer, while he himself sat down in a chair next to his separate desk...

The content of the letter is not much, and in less than a minute, Pedi reads the entire letter, the content is somewhat unexpected by Pedi, but it is reasonable,

The Duchess of Saviara demanded that Pedi must ensure the safety of Collar Corvind, otherwise she would directly interfere with the combat orders of the Naval Fleet and the Eleventh Legion.

In her letters, the Duchess addressed Quinna as 'my grandson' and 'your nephew', and she demanded that Pedi must send a legion to support the fortress of Cowinder as soon as possible, or help the fortress of Cowinde repel the siege of the goblins.

After reading the letter, Pedi threw it into the nearby stove, and then said to his servant, "Get me some cold water, I need to wash my face." ”

In less than five minutes, a basin of cool well water appeared at Pedi's desk.

"Wow"

"Wow"

The bone-invading coolness spread around Pei Di's cheeks, dispelling the sleepiness after waking up, and also dispelling the fatigue caused by the whole day yesterday, and at the same time, the blocked thoughts were suddenly cleared up at this moment.

...

In the war room of the Supreme Command Post, the regular meeting of each morning officially began.

"Your Excellency, the main army of orcs is retreating towards Lake Garmic. Sir Glick pointed to Lake Garmic on the map and said, "It seems that this should be the place they chose for the decisive battle." ”

"A beautiful location, and the orcs also know how to appreciate the view. Baron Danmen commented expressionlessly.

Pedy's gaze did not fall on the place where Sir Glick was pointing, and after looking at the map for a long time, he asked, "Is there any news from the Eleventh Legion?"

"Yes, the news just came back this morning. Baron Danmen's tone was affirmative, and as he said that, he whispered a few words with his assistant, and then explained in detail: "Because the main force of the goblin army did not come back because of the approach of the Eleventh Legion, the Marquis of Daisiri decided to launch a strong attack on the Efunk Heights in advance. ”

"If that's the case, the attack on our side must also be advanced. Sir Glick raised his eyebrows, "The Ninth and Tenth Legions have only been trained for less than a day after they have been reorganized..."

"The Eleventh Regiment went into battle with almost no training. Pedi couldn't help but interrupt.

Sir Glick retorted: "My lord, the Eleventh Legion is facing only a small local battle, while our Ninth and Tenth Legions will face a great battle, besides, the reorganization of the army led by Herien has not yet been completed, and the army of Earl Jackiff has not been completed, and there are rebels next to Lake Garmich..."

"Do you have any details on the main army of orcs?" Peddy ignored Sir Glick's words as he turned his gaze to his Chief of Military Intelligence.

"Of course. Baron Danmen picked up a few red markers, and while looking for the exact location on the map, he said: "According to the tip, the Orc Expeditionary Force has three banner regiments, totaling more than 45,000 people, of which the fifteenth banner regiment is rounding up the seventh mixed regiment of our department in the east of Bien City, and the tenth and eleventh banner regiments are responsible for attacking Harensburg. ”

"The orcs are now retreating, and I want the latest information. Pedi had a serious displeasure in his tone.

Baron Danmen didn't dare to sell his information anymore after hearing this, "The Orc Tenth Banner Regiment is stationed on the southern plain of Lake Jamich, this is a rare elite unit of the Orc tribe, and the northern Great Chief Shikan almost relied on this army when he unified the northern clans,

In addition, the 11th Banner Regiment is stationed on a slope in the southwest of Lake Garmic, and it is worth noting that almost half of this Banner Regiment is composed of orc wolf cavalry, which means that if we engage the orc 10th Banner Regiment head-on, the orc wolf cavalry stationed in the southwest can reach the battlefield within half an hour. ”

When he said this, Baron Danmen paused for half a beat, and after taking a long breath, he said: "One more point, a legion of the rebels led by Bien is stationed on the flank of the Tenth Banner Regiment of the Orcs, with more than 20,000 people. ”

"That is, there are nearly fifty thousand enemy troops in front of us?" Pei Di couldn't help but furrow.

"From the intelligence analysis alone, it is like this. Baron Danmen's tone was affirmative, and then he changed his tone and said, "However, the combat effectiveness of the rebel legion needs to be considered... If we can crush the orc army head-on, I'm sure I'll be able to turn some of the rebel officers against it. ”

"These people deserve to go to hell, and they don't have the slightest chance of atonement. ”

"But if we succeed in our rebellion, the scales of victory will be more in our favor. ”

"Even if I believe in the devil's promises, I won't believe them, be careful of being used by them in turn!"

There was disagreement among the people of the staff committee on Baron Danmen's proposal, but Pei Di didn't pay much attention to this matter, he looked at Baron Danmen and said casually: "You can handle this matter yourself." ”

As Pedi's words landed, all the arguments disappeared without a trace.

Baron Danmen smiled confidently.

At this time, the Chief of Staff, Sir Glick, said, "My lord, the more orc troops the better, and when their supply lines are broken, our victory will come sooner." ”

Pedi couldn't help but look at his chief of staff and said, "Are you suggesting that I should wait until there is definite news from the Navy fleet before making a decision?"

"It's the best option, my lord. Sir Grek nodded, "Besides, isn't that a plan you've made a long time ago?"

"My plan is to complete the transition between attack and defense against the orcs by the 15th... The people of Crewe need good news, and the Empire needs news of our victory. Pedi had been staring at Lake Garmich on the map from the beginning, and his mind was racing at the same time, "Besides, in order to cooperate with the Eleventh Army's campaign in the Efunk Heights, we must start fighting as soon as possible to cut off the supply lines of the main goblin forces in the Covinde area. ”

"My lord, although most of the soldiers in our hands are veterans who have been re-drafted, they have not experienced the battle formation for a long time after all, and if they are rashly thrown into battle, most of our war supplies will be consumed in advance. Sir Glick couldn't help but remind.

Pedi grinned: "Baron Aemond, the treasurer, told me that if I can end this war before winter and force the goblins to the negotiating table, then, no matter how much I invest, I will earn it back in the next year!"

"So, it's all worth it. As he spoke, Pedi picked up the markings of the Ninth and Tenth Legions on the map, "Let these two legions advance until they reach the Three Forks River in front of the Orc Tenth Banner Regiment... When will Earl's troops be in place?"

"It will take three days at the earliest to complete the assembly in Hallensburg. Baron Danmen replied quickly.

Pointing to a southern tributary of the Sancha River, Pedi said, "Five days, tell Earl that his troops must reach the southern part of the Sancha River within five days, and establish a barracks for two legions there. ”

"Also..."Pedi shook the mark of the Earl of Bane in Fort Herien, "tell Count Bane to move his troops to the left flank of Earl's troops, and when the Ninth and Tenth Legions attack the Orc Tenth Banner Regiment, the army of Fort Herien must quickly advance in the direction of the Bean Banner in order to attract the main force of the Orc Eleventh Banner Regiment... Also, send him our newly formed regiment of heavy cavalry. ”

Pedi was deploying his army in a commanding tone, so Sir Glick made no further objections.

"Rustle"

Everyone in the Staff Staff, including Chief of Staff Sir Glick, was taking notes, and Pedy frowned at the new deployment positions of the Ninth and Tenth Legions on the map after saying this...

When everyone stopped writing, Peidi said to the left and right: "Let the Ninth and Tenth Army Corps come up with the corresponding battle plan as soon as possible and submit it." ”

Sir Grek said with a straight face, "My lord, it seems that you have made up your mind!"

"I never joke about that. Pedi looked at his chief of staff.

"I'm not trying to contradict your orders right now. Duke Gorrik said and began to deduce on the map, "You just mentioned that you want Count Bane's headquarters to move in the direction of Byane, then, based on your current arrangement, I have reason to believe that your original intention in this decision is to attract the attention of the orc Eleventh Banner... But I think we might as well move Earl Bane's headquarters in the direction of Byan's territory. ”

Pei Di looked at the chief of staff's deduction and subconsciously said, "Do you want Count Bane to respond to the Seventh Mixed Legion and encircle and annihilate the Orc Fifteenth Banner Regiment in the eastern part of the Bean Domain?"

"Why not?" continued Sir Gorrik's reasoning, "as you can see, even if Earl Bane's troops were not successful in securing the Seventh Mixed Legion, the orc army at Lake Garmage would be disrupted by his rapid advance. ”

"It's going to be a scuffle, our two legions have just been formed, and this kind of battle situation may not be a good situation for us...", a young staff officer couldn't help but say a different opinion.

But Sir Glick did not look at the staff officer, and he continued his deduction, and Pedi only nodded, not commenting on him.

In Sir Glick's deduction, the Orc Tenth Banner Regiment is now facing a siege by the Ninth and Eleventh Legions, while the rebel Legion is engaged in a tug-of-war with Earl Jack's forces, and Earl Bane and the Orc Eleventh Mixed Flag Regiment are engaged in a tug-of-war in the northwest of the Garmici Prairie.

Seeing this, Pedi didn't need to look any further, he motioned for Glick to stop his deduction, and commanded, "Sort out what I just said, and form an order to pass it on... As for the arrangement of the Earl of Banne's department, do as you say, sir, and you yourself go to the Earl of Bane to convey the order. ”

...

At ten o'clock in the morning on September 13,

For the first time since the war with the Orcs, the Imperial Army, which had been cowering in Harrensburg, stepped out of the castle and advanced towards the Garmic Prairie.

The townspeople rushed to tell each other, excited expressions on their faces, believing that they had defeated the orcs, and they took to the streets to see off the warriors.

Soon, all the forces in the land of Crewe received the news.

After receiving the news, the Eleventh Legion, which was fighting under the Efunk Heights, immediately increased the intensity of the attack, and under the personal supervision of the Marquis of Daisyri, the noble knights personally led the troops to charge.

At the same time, the main goblin force outside Fort Cowinder canceled plans to storm Fort Cowinder after learning of this news.

On the morning of September 15, Crewe led the 9th and 10th legions to arrive at the designated position and rushed to repair the camp, but the Orc Expeditionary Force battalion only sent a small number of wolf cavalry to harass the vicinity of the camp.

Today is the deadline for Pedi to switch between offense and defense in the Kru Territory's war plan, although the whole battle situation does not really make sense to complete the transition between attack and defense, but under the official propaganda of Kru Territory, the people were told on this day that the orcs had been beaten back and they were retreating to Byan City.
