609Battle of Kyoto (4)
The cabin was brightly lit, and more than a dozen pine oil torches were swaying in the sea breeze, and the scattered light shone on the faces of all General Dylans, flickering and shaking, just like the solemn mood of everyone in the cabin now,
The newly received information made all the generals who rushed to see each other for a while, and the enemy, who was more than three times his size, was now hidden in the starry light on the opposite side, and it made people's hairs stand on end when they thought about it.
A few generals shrank their heads meaningfully, and glanced out, in the dark night, the camp of the Salanders on the opposite side was also brightly lit, like a giant beast lurking in the shadows to devour people, waiting for the moment when it showed its hideous fangs,
A wartime sketch is placed on the long table in the middle, this is a temporary sketch of the deployment of troops according to the strength of each garrison, from the map, Dylans's troops in this battle, including the navy, are about 14,000 people, including 7,000 marine infantry,
The three hills were numbered of 4,000 men, most of them defensive Dylans heavy infantry, and were the main points of contention for the battle, and their strong defenses caused heavy casualties to the Salanders who attacked during the day.
The other 3,000 infantry were distributed within a short distance of 400 meters from the three hills, and according to the ruined terrain of the city of Baiku, the Dylans infantry built two stone walls about 2 meters high with scattered rubble, extending from the docking point of the fleet to the back of the three support points, like two thick supports, enclosing all the gaps in the entire defense line.
"That's the way it is now!" Dylan Kelly asked in a low voice as she waved her hand to the general and briefly introduced the new situation
"To be honest, fighting is not my specialty, I would rather hear from the professional, you are all brave generals of my Dyrens family, at the moment of deciding the life and death of the family, if you have any ideas, please speak up"
Dylan Kelly's voice paused, and she continued, "Guys, if you were the commander in chief of the enemy, would you take this kind of approach to hiding your forces?
After a moment of silence, a middle-aged general with long red hair stood out of the queue, stared at the map, and replied with great certainty: "If I have more than three times the number of troops available, I will definitely adopt the strategy of pressing the whole army, and in the shortest possible time, launch an offensive from several directions at the same time, and weaken the enemy's resistance by maximizing the number of troops, so that the enemy has no room to block at all, and there is no other way to retreat except to be completely driven into the sea!"
"Unless...... General Dyrance looked at Dylan Kelly with hesitant eyes, with an expression of wanting to say something,
"Unless it's not to drive us out to sea?" Dylan Kelly frowned, and took his words, with her sophistication and sagacity, of course, she knew what the general had not said,
Dylan Kelly thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at the sketch on the table, and asked in a raised voice, "You mean that the greatest possibility of them doing this is not to drive us into the sea, but to annihilate us in this city!"
"Yes, the mistress is right!" the middle-aged general known as Gnav nodded solemnly,
He looked at the eyes of his colleagues around him, and found that most of the generals' eyes were full of doubts, so he explained, "If you don't show your strength, it can only show that the purpose of hiding your forces is to be able to launch a sudden fatal blow to us at a critical moment, otherwise you don't need to spend so much effort."
"Now the entire East China Sea is our navy, if they can't stick to us on land, they will lose their efforts, once we retreat to the sea, it is our territory, we can calmly arrange, they will have nothing but dry staring"
The middle-aged general's voice stopped, and he straightened up and said
Although I have no way of knowing who made this plan, I must say from the bottom of my heart, "Admire! This plan is the most ingenious tactic I have ever seen, and if we hadn't realized it sooner, I'm afraid that tomorrow would be our death!"
"Hiss"
The words of this General Griff made most of the Dyrens generals gasp, and their faces turned a little pale, if the enemy's plan was really like this, it would be terrible!
40,000 people is not 40,000 mice, densely packed but can be several miles long and wide, the enemy is ready to invest such a huge force in just a few hundred meters, launch an unreserved overall attack, its fierce and terrifying Cheng dΓΉ can be imagined,
No matter how brave the Dylans infantry fights, it will be absolutely impossible to delay for half an hour, that is the elite cultivated by the Dylans family for many years, and it is also the hope of the Dyrens family, this time in order to show the sincerity of the Dyrens family to the Grand Duke, in addition to the 5,000 people who served in the Southern Legion, even the family wealth was brought out,
"Okay, it's easy to know the enemy's intentions" Dylan Kelly looked up at the night sky outside, and his eyes swept over the generals in front of him, "Time is our greatest advantage, the Salanders don't know that their intentions have been discovered by us, if we don't have a way to deal with it before dawn, then we can only choose to retreat, even if we will be charged with offending the Grand Duke,"
"I'm also his mother-in-law, so I won't be too embarrassed for me!" Dylan Kelly's voice trembled slightly, with a resentful expression, no matter what, Dylan Kelly is still a woman after all,
The chatter in the cabin quickly calmed down, and fell into a deathly silence,
Everyone knows that if this battle is lost, even if the Dyrens family will not be punished by the Grand Duke, I am afraid that it will take at least ten years to reuse it from scratch.
In this turbulent era, at a time when the Kingdom of Vekia is rapidly moving towards glory, if the Dyrlens family is silent for ten years, it will definitely be a disaster for the Dyrlens family, which has an urgent need for outward development.
If you look at the development momentum of the Maomo family in the west, you will know what a painful loss it will be if you miss the once-in-a-millennium opportunity to take this hitchhiker.
"Could it be that we really have no choice?" Dylan Kelly's face turned slightly pale, this is a dead end! 10,000 against 40,000, no matter how you look at it, it is an impossible battle to win, if you don't want to die, you can only retreat in advance!
"Actually, it's not like we're completely out of the question!"
Then. An older Dyrens General stood out from the front of the generals' line, his countenance was typical of Dyrens, full of heaven, bulging temples, with his head bowed, like a bull charging forward,
Seeing him come out, the General Gnav just now hurriedly lowered his head and chest, took a step back, and put on a very respectful demeanor, even Dylan Kelly also looked respectful,
"We can do what we want, they can put a pocket for us, and we can put a pocket for them!" the gray-haired veteran stared like electricity,
He is the most experienced and prestigious veteran of the Dylans family, Dylans Kelly's own uncle, Dylans Poragut, the Dylans wild elephant who once shocked the south of Vekia, the first general of the Dylans family, if it were not for the suppression within the family and the rapid rise of the Samar power in the south, this energetic Dyrens wild elephant might be able to become the person who unified the southern coast.
The years have not worn away the wildness on his body, he no longer needs to go to the battlefield, he has a dense white hair, cut into a very spiritual flat top, his eyes are slightly protruding, his eyes are calmly staring at the sketch, after hesitating for a while, his fingers fell heavily on the southwest corner of this temporary sketch, and his mouth said affirmatively
"As long as you are not blind, you can see that the best way to break through our line of defense is not to directly occupy the mountains on the front, but to cut off the connection of our fleet from the side to the mountains,
This is our weakest point of defense, because of the flat terrain, the cavalry can quickly cross this tidal flat, this is a wide field, and our fleet is docked in this position, it seems to be able to support the mountain defense line very well, but it also exposes our greatest weakness!"
"The biggest weakness? Uncle Boragut, how do you say this" Dylan Kelly was stunned when she heard it, a famous general is a famous general, and every sentence is cut in the most important place,
Dylan Kelly's face changed slightly, and the weakness in Bolagette's mouth made her heart twitch a little,
Yes, weakness!, from just now she felt that there was an unexplainable point, that is, if the plan succeeded, the Salanders could completely annihilate the army, but there was nothing they could do about the naval warships that could be separated at any time,
But the commander of Salander seems to be sure that he can do this, otherwise he would not have formulated this insidious tactic, where is the disconnect, Dylan Kelly has not yet figured it out, but he also knows that the other party's dense thinking will never leave such a big hole, this is like an invisible dagger, no one knows where it will be stabbed into his chest,
"Is it wrong to use the fleet to support the infantry?" asked Dylan Kelly, gasping for some nervousness, her bloodshot eyes staring at Dylan Poragut, and a puzzled look on her face
"Under normal circumstances, this is the right thing to do, but if the enemy has several times the strength of his own, it is the most wrong thing to do!" said Boragut, bending his body and drawing a slash along the map with his fingers full of cyan knuckles, in a cold tone
"Our fleet is 400 meters long from the front line, but this line of contact is supported only by a rudimentary stone wall and less than 4,000 troops, which is completely disproportionate to the strength of the opposing side."
"If the Salander army takes advantage of the fierce battle of our army, and then divides the hidden forces into two routes, one way storms the hill to entangle our defenders on the hillside, and the other road uses a large number of cavalry as blades, and suddenly launches an all-out assault on the flank defense line of our fleet from a certain defensive point" Poragut's voice paused, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "I don't know when the time comes, between the fleet and the army, I don't know how to choose between the master and mother?"
"This"
Dylan Kelly's face turned pale, not knowing how to answer the question
Yes, this is the real killer move that he has not been able to detect, it is what the other party is doing everything possible to cover up with thousands of appointments, it can be described as extremely ruthless, as Polaget said, if the other side uses superior forces and forces Dylans's army and fleet into a desperate battle at the same time,
Should you order the fleet to withdraw immediately from the harbor to preserve the family's fleet, and abandon the 7,000 troops on land to the butcher's knives of the Salanders?, or should you order a desperate battle, stay behind to meet the retreating army, and finally fall into a desperate situation where you cannot retreat?"
"It's a hard choice!"
Dylan Kelly's heart is completely tangled, and she doesn't know how to choose with her decisiveness, this is a dead end that can't be solved!" "No matter which one you choose, it is doomed to the fall of the Dylans family,
"This is our fatal point!" Boragut's words, like a lingering whirlpool, echoed in her mind from time to time, and Boragut's gaze swept over everyone's faces,
He felt very happy about the current atmosphere, he hadn't felt this way for many years, Boragut licked his lips that were a little thirsty, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously turned up slightly at the shocked look on everyone's faces,
He likes to fight, this is the talent that is integrated into the bloodline, the former first general of the Dyrlens family, although he is no longer young, but the wildness hidden in his heart will never fade with age, this time he insists on joining the army, is not just to show his edge again at a critical moment, let all the generals on the road take a look, Vikia not only has a falcon, but also an old and stronger wild elephant......
It's a dry afternoon twilight, and the walls are made of beautiful white marble. There are many stalactites and rocks on the wall, and the whole house seems to be covered with a layer of green air, which is particularly peaceful.
A man stood against the wall with his hands behind his back, his eyes looking around, and finally his eyes fell on a man in the prime of life standing at the wargame table.
"So......" the man standing against the wall spoke, his voice loud and fat man's, "that guy named Victonse has won, and he shouldn't have won, shouldn't he?"
"Yes!!, but although Molech is not effective in attacking, it should not be to the point of total annihilation!" the man next to him, known as the Marquis of Bodek, hurriedly replied in a low voice
"Will the whole situation change?"
"Maybe we will turn the tide in the future and avenge this arrow. But at present, on the whole, the overall situation of the Vicchian army is obvious, although there is still Duke Linkson in the northwest, but the Brent in the north has suffered a defeat, and there is no more action, in fact, this is not a good thing, Second Highness, what do you think?"
"Hmph, that Brent was originally a waste, if he hadn't climbed on the thigh of his eldest brother, he would have been beheaded by his father's order, and the situation in the north has eroded like this, his responsibility is the greatest!" The man standing against the wall snorted, his whole body left the wall, and he stood up straight.
He is the second prince of the Salander Kingdom, Formo, the least favorite prince of His Majesty the Sultan, if the fourth highness born to that ugly woman is not counted, it belongs to this second highness,,
His appearance is really strange. Although he is about thirty years old, he has no hair on the top, and his skin is light black, which is definitely different from ordinary people among the Salander people, with eyebrows, eyes, mouth, and nose, all of which are not big, and he is really not a beautiful man.
However, this appearance also makes a deep impression. That is, the burly body, the tiger's back and the bear's waist, make people feel energetic and energetic, but in the eyes of the romantic and handsome Salander people, such a look can only be described as vicious,
"What do you think? Marquis Bodek. Formo's fierce eyes looked at the adjutant whom he regarded as his confidant, and said sarcastically, "Actually, this victory of Vicseton can only be said to take advantage of Moleh's unknown information, and he may not have such good luck next time." In the future, we should strengthen the collection and analysis of intelligence, which is the key to success. β
Formos slowly walked to the wargaming table, he was wearing a black turtleneck and a lilac suit, this well-mannered outfit did not match his natural fierce face
The Marquis of Bodek was extremely well-behaved, spread out a map on the table, and said respectfully, "This is the map of the strength of the two armies at that time, please look down from the front." β
The map is made of a precious smooth animal skin. The red represents the Kyoto Army, and the green represents the Northern Army. There are two green arrows, one on the north side and the other on the front of the red arrows
"The Morech corps had 23,000 men, and Viktonse's Northern Army had 7,000 men, so Moreh had an absolute advantage. β
"The military position is also dominated by Moleh, who has crossed the Mustang Mountains, where he is most likely to be blocked, but this guy ......," said Formos, with his thick hand on his forehead, "this guy has laid out a route that was used decades ago to quell a rebellion in the North, and it is really something that does not want to grow." β
"However, the use of soldiers is a repetition of experience, and Molech is also an experienced fellow! This time it is an absolute advantage, and it is inevitable that there will be some ......," said the Marquis of Bodeke
"Hmph! Of course, the paper is perfect, but in actual combat, it is not the same thing! That fool of Molech, have you forgotten that in the western mountains, there is an old fox named Ode?
"Alright, let's talk about that remarkable battle!" Formmore waved his hand to Marquis Bodek,
Marquis Bodek hurriedly placed some markers representing the strength and class of troops on the map from the cabinet under the troop, and explained to Formo the final stage of the "Battle of Morenburg".
On the map, the green arrows representing the Kyoto Army are constantly divided into truncated icons, and finally the red arrows are broken in front of them. Then, the Green Arrows, which had been scattered into two armies to the left and right, were outflanked by the Red Arrows from the rear and right rear, and attacked the rear of the Red Arrows as one......"
"Shhh
When the mark representing the heavy cavalry is placed at the end with a green icon that has become chaotic,
Formo's face was full of hideousness, and he still couldn't help but moan, he really didn't expect that Viktonse's Northern Army would press such a deadly move at this moment.
In the face of all-round superiority, this Victon Plug can also calmly analyze the battle situation and grasp the tactics of the fighter is staggering.
"It's like watching a magic trick that is funny. Formo's eyes flickered as he looked at the adjutant Marquis Bodek with interest, and a curtain wipe completely erased the green icons on the map, and finally there was only an overwhelming amount of red
"Bang Bang"
There was a rush of footsteps in the distance, and a servant in a black robe hurried up and whispered in the ear of the Second Highness Fumo, whose face was startled at first, and then a hearty smile came out
"Your Highness, what's the good news?" asked Adjutant Boulder curiously
"Haha, my brother was actually defeated!" Second Highness Fumo laughed breathlessly, "60,000 people beat 20,000 people, he ...... He was actually overshadowed by nearly half of his troops, and then watched others, patted his ass and left!"
