Chapter Ninety-Three: Forward Horn Fort
Fort Horn is located in the mountains north of the Godsend, this is not the meaning of the inside, but the meaning of the middle, a magnificent building like a hill, stuck in the middle of the mountain, opened up a link between the Heaven-given Land and the outside world, the Horn Fort is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack, the overall construction method allows the fortress and the sheltered mountain range to be integrated, the external side is like a smooth giant wall, the narrow gate almost isolates the entry and exit of any large-scale flow of people.
Behind the towering walls were the tower-like towers, topped by countless layers of guards, and in many places even giant trebuchets, all of which made it possible for the defenders to rely on the towers for their next step of resistance, or to wait for reinforcements, even if the outer walls were lost.
Inside the round tower, in addition to the huge warehouse that can store a large amount of materials, there are even many internal living quarters and service areas, complete medical institutions, blacksmith shops, and can support the needs of the entire war, ensuring the logistics of front-line combatants in the first time.
But such a fortress was actually attacked by Mordor in a short period of time after the defeat of the main force of the Terrans, and it can also be said that it was precisely because of the failure of the Horn Fort that led to the final surrender of the Terrans.
"And Fort Horn, one of the few specially marked buildings on the entire map, is the target of our campaign!"
Zheng! A dagger slammed into the Horn Fort on the map, so powerful that it was firmly nailed to the small wooden table.
On one side of the avenue, the officers of Limburg sat together, and after a long march, the Hornfort was in sight, and the officers finally confirmed the battle plan.
Today's weather is exceptionally sunny, with dry, fresh air permeating the surroundings, and the breeze bringing refreshing air mixed with the smell of the grassland, which makes everyone extra energetic, perhaps because of the smooth progress of this road, recovering a large number of so-called enemy-occupied areas, and the morale of the team is particularly high.
On the avenue is the advancing Limburg Legion, with excellent armor, handsome cloaks, and a neat and uniform team.
The small number of refugees who followed the group was even more excited, and from time to time small groups would break up, and those who had found their homes, although Mordor's arrival must have destroyed their homes, but it was believed that if they were willing to work, they could still rebuild their homes.
Looking at the elated refugee procession, Frank frowned slightly:
"My lord, the supplies we carry are not particularly abundant, but we still have to help these refugees, and if the next battle is slightly unfavorable, then our material reserves may be a little tight."
Frank's reminder made Lelouch nod, indeed, in addition to the fact that these refugees could go home, the thing that made them particularly happy was the material aid from the Limburg Legion, although the supplies were just dry food that some soldiers did not eat, but in the eyes of the almost destitute refugees in the north, it was indeed a rare and excellent thing.
After all, cured meat is not something you can eat if you want to.
For Frank's worries, Lelouch didn't think so, indeed, if the battle situation is unfavorable, then he may need these dry food for the next battle, but Lelouch thinks differently, because if the battle situation is really not smooth, and he falls into a continuous siege war, then even if he forcibly captures it, it will be meaningless, so if he can't take it in one go, then he has to find a way to get out of here.
"Okay, relative to the loss of these supplies, let's pay attention to the next battle!"
"Oh, what else is there to discuss, if you want me to say, go directly to the shoulder, and if you see Mordor's miscellaneous, you will be directly hacked to death."
Nevsky shouted in a slightly impatient voice, but the crowd just laughed and didn't say much, and Libert looked at the Horn Fort under the dagger:
"According to the original plan, we will attack at night, and there should not be too many defenders in Fort Horn at this time, and the 'Special Operations Team' specially formed according to the requirements of the adults has also been qualified, and we are sure enough to seize the south gate of Horn at night."
This so-called special forces team is actually the concept of special forces in later generations, and it is a light unit specially trained after Lelouch determined the plan for the battle of Baicheng, mainly composed of perennial hunters, and with all kinds of specially customized weapons, after nearly a year of training, it can be regarded as rough and effective, but Lelouch does not have too much sense of identity with the word 'qualified' in Libert's mouth.
In fact, the special forces conceived by Lelouch should actually be composed of ranger-type personnel, but in Limburg, there were really few qualified rangers, and in the end, the old hunters were adopted.
However, even in Lelouch's opinion, with special training and customized equipment, this team is enough to meet the current combat needs.
After Liebert had finished speaking, Frank continued:
"And after the Einsatzgruppen opens the gates, I will lead the reserve team to enter the gates immediately and launch a whispered attack on the enemy!"
Yes, this time in the operation, Lelouch will completely abide by the word surprise attack, try his best to cover up his attack intentions, and then give the defenders of Fort Horn the greatest damage in his sleep, in fact, Lelouch's battle plan still has a big flaw, that is, the march along the way.
During the march, Lelouch led a large number of refugees, the scale was quite large, as long as the defenders of Fort Clarion had a little sense of precaution, and sent even a wolf cavalry, they could find themselves, but no, Lelouch did not encounter Mordor along the way, and the Ayron army near the White City was also completely surrounded by the allied forces of the West and East, completely cutting off the possibility of advancing to Fort Clarion, although De Cres did not give Lelouch almost any substantive assistance, but in some aspects, it also gave just the right amount of cooperation.
Lelouch sometimes had to admit that DeCress was really talented, if it could put down the family concept and concentrate on contributing to the Terrans, maybe the Terrans would not be in decline, and although DeCres's proposal seemed to be a weak and incompetent traitor, it was really the best choice for the Terrans, because the Terrans might win one or two battles, but they would never win a war, unless, there was a miracle!
Lelouch didn't know if he was a miracle, but Lelouch knew that he had no choice, from beginning to end, Baicheng might still have the possibility of negotiation, but Lelouch didn't, all this was already doomed from the moment the goblin army attacked!
"My lord, there's Horn Fort ahead!"
