In the splendid and majestic palace, His Majesty the King, dressed in civilian clothes, sat behind his desk, carefully examining the official documents in his hand. I saw that he picked up the one that was on the table from time to time and wrote annotations on the official document.

On the low table on one side, the moist dessert carefully prepared by the imperial chef had been completely cooled, but His Majesty had not eaten even a small bite.

After a long time, His Majesty finally finished reading the official document. He put down the paper in his hand and slowly stood up as he kneaded his brow.

I'm so tired!

His Majesty paced slowly, with a long sigh on his face, and his face was full of tiredness that could not be concealed.

Ever since the war with the Riga Empire, he has been overwhelmed by the flood of requests, requests and official documents.

If it's just a heavy workload, it's nothing, His Majesty the King is not old, and he still has this bit of energy. But the things that made people worry were one after another, one after another, like huge stones, higher and higher, weighing down his heart.

Ever since the head of the waste prince was cut off and the demonstratively hung outside the eastern gates, the clouds of war have hung over the heads of the glorious empire.

Just as the whole country was working together and busy making all kinds of preparations to deal with the upcoming war, Grand Duke Kochis stabbed the empire in the back at this critical juncture.

If a province rebels, the impact will naturally be extremely bad. However, with the military strength of Taranto Province, the army of Aberdeen was more than enough. Who would have thought that at this critical moment, the attitude of the Grand Duke of Edwards suddenly became **.

Finally, Anthony's kid had some means to solve the trouble. After a few days of delay, the counterinsurgency army finally proceeded smoothly as planned.

The empire can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, but the soldiers of the Riga Empire over there have finally arrived as expected.

General Dino, the famous general of Riga, led a large army to attack, and the momentum was overwhelming. A tentative attack caused heavy losses to the defenders of Huaishui Pass. Fortunately, Grand Duke Mattesias was experienced and commanded, and then quickly stabilized the situation.

The top brass of the empire had just pressed the heart liver back to his chest, and before he could catch his breath, bad news came from the Aberdeen counterinsurgency force: the enemy surrounded Wei to save Zhao with one move, forcing the army to withdraw and return for reinforcements, and the counterinsurgency plan was aborted!

This was not the worst news, and His Majesty remembered the latest developments that the guards had just come in to report, and his temples jumped uncontrollably.

Taranto's side actually set up a checkpoint to intercept the return of Aberdeen's army. In the first engagement, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Looking at the situation, it is not entirely impossible for the rebels to crucify the Aberdeen army in Taranto province without moving.

At this point, the situation of the glorious empire began to gradually erode, and the situation became more and more critical.

In just a few months, the development of the situation within the empire can be described as twists and turns, ups and downs, and the highlights are like singing a big drama on stage.

The only difference is that His Majesty the Returning King is not sitting on the dragon chair, sipping tea, beating beats, and being a relaxed and leisurely spectator. Instead, he was deeply caught in this big drama and couldn't extricate himself.

Regret it?

His Majesty couldn't help but ask himself in the bottom of his heart.

If I had known that we were in this difficult situation, would I have adopted such a radical and risky plan of that young man?

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now.

His Majesty shook his head vigorously, pushing the meaningless hypothesis out of his mind.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty......" A hurried shout came from outside the main hall.

As the sound of faint but dense footsteps approached, a figure broke into the main hall.

Without turning his head to look, His Majesty knew who was coming, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle together.

At this time, it was a tense period of war between the two countries, and the palace was naturally guarded, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, guarding against the possible assassin masters sent by the Riga Empire. The reason why he was able to shout all the way to enter the main hall without being intercepted or killed by the guards was of course because His Majesty had already explained it.

"In the palace, what kind of system is it that shouts and screams!"

His Majesty reprimanded, turned and looked at the man with displeasure.

"There's bad news again, let's hear about it."

The person who came was a confidant of His Majesty's King, and he grew up playing with him since he was a child. I don't have much ability, but I am absolutely reliable, and this time I was assigned the task of communicating the message.

It's just that this henchman has not been very popular lately.

Mainly because during this period of time, most of the news he reported made His Majesty upset and had a headache. When I see him at this time, it's no wonder that I can have a good face.

The man was reprimanded, as if frightened. Hurriedly gathered his mind, straightened his clothes, and cautiously walked up to His Majesty the King, and reported in a low voice.

"What?!"

His Majesty, who had been impatient, had just heard the beginning, and his head was raised sharply, and his voice was suddenly turned to the highest, and his round eyes were fixed on the man.

"Holy Empire? The Holy See of Light?! ”

……

In Taranto, that unknown place.

Eight days had passed since the first battle between the armies of Aberdeen and Taranto.

During this period, Aberdeen launched two more attacks, but the end result was to no avail. The defensive line hastily built by the Taranto rebels according to the terrain was like a war fortress made of steel, and no matter how hard the army struck, it still stood still.

Of course, this result also has to do with the tactics adopted by General John.

Fighting like the first big war, the top brass of the army really felt unbearable and cried out in pain. The offensive behind is naturally much more cautious.

If the battle can be decided, this price is worth it. But after a head-to-head conversation, it became clear to General John that the rebels on the other side were not a belly army to be slaughtered. Facing an opponent with enough weight, and trying to solve the problem with a wave of waves, I am afraid that in the end, I will lose so much that I can't even keep my pants.

Of course, in the end, although I failed to break the level, it was not without gain.

"Boss, have you noticed that the arrangement of Position 3 is a bit strange."

Tang Feng pointed to the middle of the opposite defense line a little to the left, and whispered to Anthony beside him.

"The ground is a little higher up, and the defenders can attack us from a high position. The road ahead was covered with small sharp and hard stones, and it was inconvenient to charge or line up. In addition, it is located in the middle of the defensive line, and it is recessed a little back, so that the arrows and magic strikes of the defenders at both ends can be covered. ”

After a slight pause, Tang Feng continued.

"Logically speaking, Position 3 is the best and most difficult point to break through in the entire defensive line. In fact, we also consciously chose to avoid this section of the troop arrangement, placing the most elite troops elsewhere, and never thought of using this as a breakthrough point. However, look at how the garrison is arranged. ”

Tang Feng's fingers moved slightly to the left and right of the third position.

"On the left are the 1st, 4th, and 18th Battalions of Taranto, and on the right are the 5th, 6th, and 9th Battalions, all of which are the most elite units under Kochis. In the rear of the Sixth Brigade, a squadron of magicians was released. In the previous few battles, I hadn't seen even a small fireball fired from other defenses, even when they were in danger of being breached. ”

"It stands to reason that this position, which is the easiest to defend and difficult to attack, does not need to be so carefully arranged. As a famous player on the mainland, Frankie is unlikely to make such a low-level mistake. Therefore, I have a bold speculation......"

Tang Feng retracted his gaze and looked at the young man he admired the most.

"There must be some kind of hidden danger in the third position, and it is not as impregnable as it seems! Heavy troops are stationed around the position so that they can assist in defense in time when the position is attacked. If we attack this point with all our might, we may be able to break through this entire line of defense. ”

Finally put out the guesses and countermeasures in his heart, Tang Feng was like a candidate who had just handed in the answer sheet, and couldn't wait to know the examiner's evaluation of his answers.

In his mind, Anthony is the "examiner".

Although the leader is young, his military talent seems to be innate, Tang Feng only admires this incomparably, and has long regarded him as a benchmark for his progress.

Anthony looked at the tight defense line on the opposite side and couldn't help but nod secretly.

is worthy of being a famous general in the mainland, and it really deserves his name.

"You said it yourself, Frankie is a world-famous general, and his ability to lead the army and command is not fake. With such an obvious arrangement and loopholes, he will easily put it out for you to see? ”

"The so-called reality is fiction, fiction is reality, maybe he just wants us to think like this, it is also very possible. Besides, Taranto's strength is not as good as ours, this is a fact, and no one can change it. In the previous big war, we suffered great losses, but the other side was definitely not comfortable. Maybe Frankie didn't have any good cards in his hand, and the clever woman couldn't afford to cook without rice, so she had to arrange it like this. ”

Tang Feng thought about it for a while, but still insisted on his own point of view.

Anthony nodded, but did not refute: "What you said is not unreasonable. But you have to think clearly, if you make a mistake, you will be slamming your head against the enemy's toughest shield, and the consequences can be serious. ”

Tang Feng straightened his waist, and the whole person was like a rod, firm and sharp.

"Fighting a war is about pinning your head to your belt, and there is nothing you can do without taking risks. I understand the balance in between, don't worry, boss. ”

Anthony nodded again and said no more.

There were some words that he kept in his heart and did not say.

Aberdeen's commander is, after all, General John. How this battle is fought and how the troops are deployed are all up to him. The two of them pondered and discussed here, whether it was reasonable or not, whether it was a blind guess, General John did not adopt it, everything was just empty talk.

Tang Feng should also understand this. As he himself said, he can grasp the proportions.

Even so, there is no need for Anthony to bother with words.
