Chapter 124: What to do
General André's blow was unleashed with lightning speed, and by the time the two commanders, Prince and Hamilton, came to their senses, Laudrup's head had rolled out of the distance, rolling a blood-colored slender line on the ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
With a thud, Laudrup's headless body fell heavily to the ground. He thought he was a hunter, but he didn't expect to become a prey in the blink of an eye.
"General, what's going on?" Prince and Hamilton on the side froze, the two unsuspecting commanders did not know that they had already walked through the ghost gate, and they almost did not see the sun tomorrow.
General André let out a sigh of relief, took out the letter of appointment from Louis from his bosom, and threw it at the two commanders who were still in a state of ignorance: "This is what Laudrup brought to me, see for yourself."
"I see, I didn't expect that this guy Laudrup, who usually behaves loyally, has secretly joined Louie's traitorous party!" After reading this letter of appointment, the two commanders finally came to their senses, and Hamilton, who was even more irritable, simply went up and kicked Laudrup's headless corpse fiercely, and spat a few mouthfuls at the corpse, before he looked up at General André and asked, "General, what should we do now?"
What to do?
For the current General Andrei and the Black Rose Legion, this is indeed a very serious problem, and it can even be said that it is a matter of life and death. André clearly knew that after rejecting the traitor Louis, the lives of the 25,000 soldiers of the Black Rose Legion were really only in his own thoughts.
General André did not pay attention to the already dead Laudrup on the ground, but walked up to the huge map hanging in the tent, looked at the map and fell into deep thought.
In fact, there are quite a few choices that the Black Rose Legion can make now.
The first and easiest option to think of, of course, was to immediately kill the horse pistol, and the whole army turned west along the march route of the past few days to the city of Paris, invaded the royal palace to capture the rebel Louis, and completely crushed the rebellion.
But this plan is also extremely risky, although General Andre does not know how many troops the traitor Louis has at the moment, but with General Andrei's many years of experience in garrisoning Paris City, as long as Louis masters one of the two reserve legions stationed next to Paris City, then the Black Rose Legion, which is dominated by heavy infantry and lacks siege equipment and long-range firepower, even if the combat effectiveness is strong, it is almost impossible to capture a heroic city like Paris City.
Therefore, the only key to whether to turn west and attack Paris City is whether Duke Louis has mastered the two reserve legions stationed outside Paris.
In the eyes of General André, the answer is almost certain, and General André, who has dealt with the Duke of Louis for decades, knows very well how cunning and wise the former Minister of War of the Kingdom of France is, and it is impossible for the Duke of Louis to risk this rebellion without all preparations.
Since Duke Louis sent Laudrup as a lobbyist at the first time, then with Duke Louis's cautious character, he must also be prepared for Laudrup's failure.
If he and the Black Rose Legion were unable to break through Paris City in just a few days, then the defeat of the Black Rose Legion was a sure thing, and General André had no doubt about it.
Now returning west to the city of Paris is no different from seeking death. So General Andrei immediately rejected this option.
The second option was to continue eastward to the west bank of the Inle River according to the predetermined plan, and first push back the Jimny army led by Rommel, and then consider the next thing.
But this choice, in the opinion of General Andrei, is also highly uncertain. First of all, the news of the success of Louis's rebellion will surely spread like wings and quickly spread throughout the kingdom of Frans and even the entire continent. Once that time comes, the morale of the tens of thousands of troops on the western defense line of the Inle River of the Kingdom of Frans who know the news will definitely plummet, and their combat effectiveness and fighting spirit will definitely be greatly affected.
By that time, the Black Rose Legion of only 25,000 people would have to face, but it would be more than 100,000 Jimnies several times their size! General Andrei didn't think he would have any chance of winning in that situation.
Secondly, even if the Black Rose Army really arrived on the west bank of the Inle River in time, due to Louis's rebellion, even if he firmly controlled the nearly 100,000 French troops of the entire West Bank defense line, without the logistical support from France, General André would still not be able to resist the continuous offensive of the Jimnys, not to mention that there is very likely that there are still commanders of Louis' rebel party lurking among the troops of the West Bank defense line to fan the flames.
Even if General Andrei was very unwilling, he knew very well in his heart that when Louis's rebellion succeeded, the western defense line of the Inle River was destined to be broken by Rommel's Jimny army.
Since both the possibility of going west and east has been cut off, there are only two directions left, north and south.
The third option is to go all the way south, trying to get close to the Galactic Legion, another ace of France, who is resting in the south of the kingdom, and at the same time, it seems like a good choice to be able to bypass the battlefield far away and wait for the Jimny and the traitor Louis to fight to the death.
However, General André did not know whether the Galaxy Legion in the south was still loyal to the Bonaparte family like himself, and secondly, on the way south of the Black Rose Legion, there were at least three territories of the Louis family and its affiliated families, so this southward road was also full of dangers and could not take their fate into their own hands.
When you have ruled out all the options, the remaining option is, of course, the only option.
"If André refuses my offer, then his only option is to go north, first to reach Piccardy City and join the Legion of the Morning Star, and then, depending on the situation, either attack my city of Paris directly to the southwest, or retreat northwest to the Grand Duchy of Normandy, and possibly even seek help from the Angles and Spanis." Louis I, who sat on the Iron Throne, said slowly, and the new King of France's face was now full of wisdom, as if the whole world was under his control. A cruel sneer quickly crept up Louis I's cheek: "Hmph, but I only hope that André's conservative style will keep him from making such a stupid choice, otherwise he and his 25,000 Black Rose Legionnaires will have no choice but to die when I make peace with the Jimnys!" '
"Well said! It's awesome, it's cool! As soon as Louis I's words fell, a voice sharper than a woman suddenly sounded in the council of the royal palace of Paris.
This male duck's voice is matched with the pretentious tone, needless to say, I know that of course it is the bewitching fox ibuprofen of the holy domain power----house who likes to dress up as a man and a woman.
Louis I's eyes moved to the ibuprofen who had just entered the temple, and there was another middle-aged man with a cold and arrogant face who walked in with the ibuprofen, judging from the momentum exuded by this middle-aged man, his strength should be on par with ibuprofen.
These are the two Sanctuary powerhouses that Louis I recruited.
"Both. Louis I did not talk nonsense, but went straight to the point: "I want you to go after Bella Bonaparte, who has escaped from the city of Paris, for me." Without waiting for them to speak, Louis I immediately continued: "Whoever can bring the head of Bella Bonaparte to the king, he will give him twice the reward promised beforehand." '
As soon as these words came out, ibuprofen and another Sacred Domain powerhouse immediately glanced at each other, and then immediately turned into two rainbow rays of light and shot out of the council hall.
You must know that the benefits originally promised by Louis I were enough to make the hearts of these two veteran Sanctuary powerhouses move, and now after this doubling, it is even more tempting, directly letting these two Sanctuary powerhouses scramble to hunt down and kill the former princess of the kingdom who is fleeing for her life, lest the other party will take the lead to rob her of her own merits.
After these two rainbow lights completely disappeared from his sight, Louis I breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered a poem from a distant eastern country that he had seen in a book.
Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.
