The two sides are evenly matched, and if they want to win, they must make dangerous moves.

Ray Dawang thinks he is a martial arts wizard, but he is not deeply involved in military affairs, and he used to take 180 people to copy knives and cut demons, but when it comes to tens of thousands of battles, he can't help but feel a little numb.

Fortunately, Renard explained before the army set off, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask Ashley and Tracy's opinion.

Ashley is a top student of the Military Department of the Academy of Constantinople, and her father is a strong general in the army.

Tracy, on the other hand, was a military genius who had not studied the art of war, but was able to lead troops with ease, which is why he was able to quickly rise from ordinary soldier to colonel.

The two were soon called into the study, followed by Edmund's two officers, and Coverdale.

The five of them sat down in exchange and then began to discuss the current situation.

Ray Dawang recounted the situation in detail, and then showed the news from the Intelligence Department and his own graffiti-like map to the four of them: "The situation is probably like this, you will see how to fight next." ”

Ash Li, who was the first to speak, scanned the map, calculated the strength and military ratio of the enemy and us, and said: "It is the best choice to stand still now, and attacking is not good for us. ”

Holding the note from the Ministry of Intelligence in her hand, she continued: "The other side now has 30,000 regular troops and 60,000 civilians, and the quality of the soldiers may not be as good as ours, but in terms of quantity, they are more than six times more than ours. ”

"In the case of unequal strength between the enemy and us, it is the best choice to adopt a defensive strategy, if we have to collide head-on, we have a small probability of winning, but it is definitely a miserable victory, and there is ......"

Ashley talked about military theories for a long time, and the final summary was: static braking.

Trollope and Coverdale just listened quietly and did not speak, because before leaving, Duke Edmund told them to bring only ears and not mouths, and what people said was what they wanted.

As retainers, the two naturally obeyed.

Besides, even if they want to express their opinions, they don't have much chance, all they learn are battlefield killing techniques passed down from their parents, where do they know what tactics they have.

Tracy's gaze locked on the map, his eyes flickering, and he was silent for a long time, before he suddenly interrupted, "We seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding. ”

When everyone heard this, they turned their eyes to him, their eyes full of inquiry.

Ray Dawang knew that although this kid had never studied or gone to school, he was a natural general with a good command of soldiers, so he said: "If you have any suggestions, just say it, there are no outsiders in the study." ”

Tracy looked up at the four of them: "We have always struggled with whether to attack or defend, and our thinking is limited to how to destroy the other party's military power, but this is not the only way to win a war. ”

A smile appeared on his face: "As far as the current situation is concerned, the main force of the enemy is the private army of the major lords, there is a good saying, shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, capture the thief and capture the king first, after all, the coalition army is a coalition army, and the people's hearts are not aligned." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Trollope and Coverdale and asked, "Your Excellency, if Fort Duncan is attacked by enemy troops, will you continue to follow here, or will you come to the rescue?"

The two looked at each other, and Trollope said with a serious expression: "Naturally, it is a wave of the army to rescue, now that the Duke of Duncan is resuming production, all the sergeants have been arranged to protect the people, and Fort Duncan only needs more than a thousand defenders." ”

After saying that, he noticed Tracy's playful gaze, and then came to his senses: "You mean to bypass the enemy's main force and take the territory in its rear?"

Tress snapped his fingers: "That's right, now that the coalition forces seem to be mighty, they are actually scattered, relying on interests to maintain relations, if the interests of some of them are damaged, what do you think will happen?"

"Split!" Ashley said these two words without hesitation, with a look of chagrin on her face: "Why didn't I think of it." ”

Tress didn't answer, and said to himself: "We have a total of more than 4,000 cavalry, which is the elite of the elite, with these 4,000 people, even if we attack the current Iron Hammer City, it is more than enough, and the other members of the coalition army do not have much strength left." ”

"The advantage of cavalry lies in good mobility, even if the enemy detects and wants to block it, I am afraid that it is helpless, and when the news of the attack reaches their ears, our cavalry regiment will have already fled dozens of miles. ”

Ray Dawang looked approving: "I think the plan is feasible, what about you?"

He was asking, but in fact, he had already made a decision in his heart.

The other three nodded in unison: "We also think it is feasible, you can give the order." ”

So the order was quickly conveyed, and the Earl Meredith, who were stationed outside the city, led the 1st Cavalry Regiment and the Duke Duncan, and led two cavalry brigades, which were immediately packed and prepared to be deployed.

Hearing that he was going to raid the enemy's lair, Cliffor was extremely excited: "I'll be the vanguard, and you will be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield." ”

Hearing this, Tracy hurriedly said: "Major General Ray Dawang has told us that we will only attack and not defend, and after the city is broken, we must not harass the residents of the city, and we can only take away the property of the lord's mansion. ”

Cleaver nodded incessantly, but apparently didn't listen to anything.

In the middle of the night, the knights wrapped their horses' hooves and took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the enemy's rear.

Once the plan was finalized, Renard received a handwritten letter from Ray Dawang detailing the feasibility of the plan.

Since Lei Ye has released his power, he naturally fights as much as they like, and gives an approval: whatever.

Although the reply was simple, it made Ray Dawang feel absolute trust, and there was a little inexplicable feeling in his heart.

The next morning, after sleeping for less than three hours, he got up from his bed and said the first thing he said when he went out: "Is there any news from the cavalry regiment?"

Jimmy rubbed his sleepy eyes, and hurriedly got up and stood up after seeing the person who came: "Report to the general, the news came two hours ago that the cavalry corps broke through the Viscount of Reims, and it is estimated that it is now on its way to the Earldom of Edgar." ”

Ray Dawang frowned slightly, and scolded: "Why don't you wake me up in time if there is news." ”

Jimmy opened his mouth, but didn't say anything to argue with it.

Ray Dawang sighed, patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Remember, there is news that must inform me in time, this war is related to the future of the county of Meredith and the future of you and me, and you and I must not be careless. ”

Jimmy straightened his back and replied loudly, "Yes, sir!"

Ray Dawang waved Jimmy away, and without even having enough to eat breakfast, he strode to the map and found the location of the Viscount of Reims, twenty kilometers away from Baron Child's domain.

The cavalry corps set out at ten o'clock in the evening, and it took only two hours before and after the defeat of the Viscount of Reims, excluding the time to rush at night.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Ray Dawang slammed the table hard: "Good job." ”
