Wang Zhiran opened his mouth and said: "In all fairness, the Black Warrior is a rather difficult opponent, not only is his strength strong, but also his wisdom is not low. ”

Winder then asked, "How so?"

Of course, this question also aroused the interest of Mary and Katsura, especially Mary, after the previous battle, she had already determined that the Black Samurai was her great enemy, and immediately pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

"In the previous battle, in fact, the Black Knight did not lose, he obviously had the strength to continue fighting, but he retreated. That's because he was worried about being surrounded by the army led by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"Do you remember what I said in the hotel," Prince Wende nodded and said, "I came here this time to lead troops to the front line to support the fortress of Verdun." My army of 100,000 is stationed in the north of the city. If the Black Samurai continues to stay here, he will definitely be surrounded by the army I lead, and at that time, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to fly. ”

Although the Black Samurai is powerful, they are only powerful individuals. Judging from the overall strength, the black warriors and the demon elite soldiers led by them are actually not very numerous. With such a huge disparity in numbers, it is indeed impossible for a strong individual black warrior to retreat in his entirety.

Everyone understands that the sheer quantity overwhelms the individual quality, but this leads to another problem.

"Since the Black Knight knew that he was attacking the city and might be surrounded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's army, why did he do this?" asked Mary this time.

Wang Zhiran smiled slightly and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this Canon City is a transit point for sending supplies to the Verdun Fortress. ”

Prince Wende was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "How do you know? Wait, I understand, Mr. Wang, you are so smart." ”

As he spoke, the silver-white ring on Prince Wende's middle finger flashed, and a map appeared in his hand. Obviously, this ring is the space storage ring that often appears in the wizarding world. The crown prince did not have a sword at his waist, which also means that the light sword he used in the previous battle was also placed in this storage ring.

I saw Wende put the map on his desk, pointed to the map and said, "This is the city of Canon where we are, and the fortress of Verdun to the west." As Mr. Wang said, the city of Ganon was a transit point, and the country's supplies would be transported here to the fortress of Verdun. Because the city of Ganon is the closest city to the fortress of Verdun. ”

"And the Black Knight's attack on the city of Ganon is not to occupy or destroy the city, after all, he has too few troops at his disposal. His aim was only to sow chaos and panic, and thus disrupt the supply of Canon to the fortress of Verdun. Help the front-line demon troops from the side and capture the fortress of Verdun!"

"It is an eternal truth that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved," Wang Zhiran said: "I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not only lead the troops this time, but also destroy the demon elite soldiers led by the black knight and completely open up the grain route." ”

Winder nodded and said, "That's right, the demon elite soldiers led by the Black Warrior have already defeated two reinforcements heading to the fortress before. Although the reserves of the fortress of Verdun are very sufficient and there is no danger for the time being, if there is no supply for a long time, the reserves will be depleted sooner or later, and at that time it will be troublesome. That's why this time I asked my father for his life and personally led an army of 100,000 to support the fortress. Not only to defeat the elite soldiers of the demons, but also to deliver supplies to the fortress in time. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, did you take the initiative to ask the Emperor for his life, why did you do this, can't you send other generals?" Mary's eyes flickered a little as she spoke.

Wen De smiled slightly and said: "When the national crisis is at hand, how can the royal family hide in the rear and enjoy peace? My father is too old to participate in the war, so as the crown prince, I should stand up for the country." ”

This impassioned speech was obviously heartfelt rather than contrived, and even everyone present looked at it differently, and as for Mary, she couldn't help but say, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are so brave. ”

Wende shook his head and smiled, "I'm not brave, I'm afraid of death." I remember that when I mentioned this idea to my father in the court, I was actually scared in my heart. After all, on the battlefield, the enemy doesn't care about who you are, but only gives you an equal death. ”

"But you still insisted on coming with the troops," Wang Zhiran said, "My teacher told me that true bravery is not to be fearless, but to move forward with fear." ”

"It's full of philosophical words," Winder said. Mr. Wang, I hope to have the opportunity to meet your teacher in the future. ”

Wang Zhiran said: "Maybe there will be a chance. ”

"Speaking of teachers, the teacher who taught me the art of war, Field Marshal Glevyn, is the commander of the fortress of Verdun," Prince Wende said, "This is probably another reason why I will take the initiative to ask for help." And my troops, with provisions, will set off tomorrow for the fortress of Verdun. ”

Speaking of this, Prince Wende looked at Wang Zhiran and asked, "Then Mr. Wang, I want to hear your opinions and suggestions." What should I do?"

You would actually ask me this kind of question, it's interesting, I can't see it, you, the prince, really don't have any arrogance, and you know how to ask without shame.

Just as Wang Zhiran thought, through the three things that made him judge his identity by his temperament in the hotel alone, as well as taking himself to no one to heal before, coupled with the previous judgment of the black warrior, Prince Wende obviously felt Wang Zhiran's wisdom. Perhaps, in the eyes of this prince, Wang Zhiran has been regarded as a figure at the level of military advisors.

And Wang Zhiran's wisdom is naturally worthy of the word military advisor, I saw him look at the map, think for a while, and then said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we don't need to make special preparations, as long as we are as usual, we can fight steadily and steadily." ”

Prince Wende frowned, and asked, "How do you say this?"

Wang Zhiran said eloquently: "According to the map, the terrain between the fortress of Verdun and the city of Ganon is flat, and there is nothing to use. This also means that the Black Warriors' troops cannot fight ambushes. The only option they have is a frontal attack. ”

"But if you attack head-on, then the strength of the demon clan's troops is far inferior to His Royal Highness the Prince, and it is impossible to fight for attrition. In this way, the opponent can choose only one method of warfare, and that is the decapitation tactic! By directly killing the enemy commander by the strong, the troops will be confused, and then the opponent will be defeated. ”

"Our previous two support armies were defeated by the Black Knights' single advance and beheading the commander," Speaking of this, Prince Wende suddenly understood, looked at Mary, and said, "But this time, we have brave men!"

"Yes, only the brave can stop the Black Knight!"

Wang Zhiran also looked at Mary and said, "As long as Mary can entangle the Black Warrior, then those troops under him are not worried. ”

Prince Wende also said excitedly: "As long as there are no black warriors, only those demon troops, they will definitely not be the opponents of our army, so we can pull out this nail stuck in the back of the fortress in one fell swoop!"

However, Prince Wende didn't get excited for long, his face immediately became gloomy, and he asked, "But Mr. Wang, what if the demon army, seeing that my army is strong, avoid it and not fight?"

"Isn't it good that they don't fight. Wang Zhiran explained: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have an army of 100,000 people under your command, how much supplies can be delivered by so many people? ”

When Wang Zhiran said this, Prince Wende suddenly opened his mouth and said on the spot: "That's right, the fundamental purpose of my troops is to support the fortress. Even if that demon elite army is not wiped out, as long as my troops reach the fortress, then the work of the demon elite soldiers in the rear to intercept the grain route in the past few months will be in vain. ”

Wang Zhiran then smiled and said, "Yes, so the prince went to the fortress this time and brought as many supplies as possible." ”

"Understood," Prince Wende's gaze swept over Wang Zhiran and Gui, and finally stopped at Mary, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I could find a talent like you just by going around Ganon City, and I'm really glad to meet you." Of course, if you are willing to follow me, I will definitely give you a name, say, what kind of official do you want to be?"

Wang Zhiran looked at the eyebrows between Wende and Mary, and said on the spot: "Me and Gui, as long as you are willing to let us be staff officers, as for Mary, I think she must be willing to be your personal guard, am I right?"

"What, close to the body!" Wang Zhiran's words directly made Mary's cheeks crimson.

And Prince Wende smiled: "Okay, I agreed." ”

At the same time, on the plain between the fortress of Verdun and the city of Canon, the Black Samurai also led his demon elite soldiers to set up camp.

Since they are elite soldiers who take small roads to the rear, far away from the base camp, it is more difficult to replenish and can only be obtained by plundering.

This also led to the fact that the armor on the Black Knight, which had been kicked out by Mary, could not be replaced or repaired, and could only continue to be worn on his body, which was particularly eye-catching. Naturally, his subordinates were not bored, but just stayed quietly and buried themselves in the pot to cook.

After a long time, the Black Knight called one of his men and asked in a deep voice, "How many days do we have enough supplies?"

The subordinate replied, "Tell Your Highness, the supplies we have around us are enough for four days." ”

The Black Knight sighed and said, "It's a pity that this siege failed to cause chaos to those humans, so their troops will definitely set off for Verdun Fortress tomorrow with a large number of supplies." ”

The subordinate looked at the footprints on the Black Warrior's chest, and stopped talking.

The Black Warrior noticed the man's actions and said, "If you have anything to say, say it." ”

"Yes, Your Highness," said his subordinate to the Black Knight, "I beg Your Highness, don't attack tomorrow to intercept that force." ”

The Black Warrior looked at the subordinate, and his heart was furious, and then he said, "Are you worried about the Brave?"

The subordinates nodded desperately.

The Black Warrior said meaningfully: "For the sake of that great cause, we must also attack and defeat those humans! What's more, if that army succeeds in reaching the fortress, then our efforts in the past few months will be in vain!"
