Chapter 111: Deduction of Wargames
Knight Colin and Viscount Cooper didn't drink much, but they just drank vigorously and confided their true thoughts.
After a few simple dry drinks, the two of them used magic and vindictive energy to force the wine out of their bodies, and went their separate ways.
Viscount Kuber must continue to lead his subjects and vassals on a safe path into Fort Lemlos, and Knight Colin must continue to patrol with the "Leviathan", and no suspicious person can be allowed to approach.
The fire in the town of Fam has been burning since last night and has not abated at all.
The sky was gradually overcast, the wind was fierce, the clouds gathered in the sky, and the clouds were getting lower and lower, and the first heavy rain of spring came with the wind as the two armies clashed.
"Boom!"
With a sound of spring thunder, raindrops fell from the sky little by little, on the fires in Famtown, on the flintlock pistols of the warriors, on the chimneys of the factories of Remloth Castle, and on the gallows and corpses that could be found everywhere along the roads of Crescent City.
The rain began to rain heavily, and bean-sized droplets crashed on the ground, extinguishing the long-standing fire in Famtown, turning the road into muddy ground, and representing the first punishment of the will of the gods against the tyrannical rebels.
"Divisional commander, it's raining so hard outside, our mines won't damp up, right?"
Simon was playing a war game invented by His Highness at the Temporary Operations Command Office, when Ford pushed the door open and shouted.
"Don't worry about our mines, nothing will be a big problem. Pour a cup of hot water for Deputy Division Commander Ford!"
Simon calmly picked up a chess piece marked with heavy rain, placed it on the weather grid, and then instructed his young apprentice knight to serve tea and pour water.
"Ah, yes! Look at my brain! I almost forgot that our mines have moisture-proof enchantments. Ford patted his head and remembered, then sat down on the chair next to Simon, and watched Simon deduce the trend of the war, and suddenly became interested.
"What's the meaning of deducing alone? I've also seen how His Highness taught, let's deduce together!"
"Stay on the side, is the cannon covered with a waterproof cloth?" Simon said lightly, glancing at him.
"It's up to you to say, I'll do things, you don't worry! There's no time to be unreliable when you're doing business!" Ford confidently patted his chest and assured Simon.
"Okay then! It's raining outside anyway, so let's play it with me. Simon put the wargames back in their original positions, and took control of the Remloth Fort side himself, leaving the rebel side under Ford's control.
"Cut, stingy, I use the rebels, I use the rebels, what's the big deal. The corners of Ford's mouth twitched, and he took control of the rebels.
The weather changes to heavy rain, the road adjusts to mud to reduce the movement of the chess pieces, and the confrontation between the two begins.
In the first round, because of the heavy rain, Simon chose to stand still and handed over the initiative to Ford.
Ford forced a squad of Assassins to move in the rain, approached the "Leviathan" troops from the hillside, and was killed by the "Leviathan" soldiers with bayonets.
In the second round, Ford took the lead in attacking, with heavy cavalry at the lead, speeding up the march and breaking through the Leviathan's defenses and stopping outside the minefield.
Simon faintly withdrew the "Leviathan" troops deployed at the South Gate Pass, awakening the dormant state of the three cannons in the barracks.
In the third round, the battle became fierce, and Ford used the archmage that might exist in the rebel army, summoned forbidden spell magic, and prepared to detonate the minefield.
Simon took the risk of moving the cannon forward one block and reloading it.
According to the rules, three shells directly crushed the frontal army of the enemy army and killed the archmage.
"Damn!"
Ford scolded and said to himself, I'm a villain now, the rebels can do anything!
So, in the fourth round, the rebels under Ford's control drove civilians to the front line as cannon fodder, and launched an assault on Simon's defenses, directly knocking out the first layer of mines.
"Damn, Ford, you're shameless! How can you do such a thing?
Simon immediately scolded.
"I'm a rebel commander now, and according to that person's behavior, this kind of thing is very likely to happen. ”
Ford picked up the water that Igor had poured for him, took a sip to moisten his lips, and said proudly.
"Humph!"
Simon snorted coldly and didn't say anything, after all, the meaning of wargaming was invented to simulate war, and anything can happen in war.
As the confrontation between the two became more and more intense, the rain outside became heavier and heavier, and the rumbling spring thunder continued one after another, and the raindrops also penetrated the wooden roof and dripped into the house.
In the fifth round, Ford's rebels completely took the initiative, constantly stacking civilian cards on top of each other, leveling the entire minefield, and then continuing to attack in the direction of barbed wire.
Simon was helpless, and the flintlock troops began to fire a neat salvo, and the civilians fell one after another, spending a lot of ammunition and clearing out several civilian cards on the field.
In the sixth and seventh rounds, the superior combat power of Ford's side led the soldiers into the battlefield and launched an assault on the flintlock unit.
Those high-ranking warriors rushed into the crowd and drove the Peerless, mowing the grass to slaughter the warriors of Remlos Castle.
Simon mobilized the artillery units in the rear to deliver precise strikes on the rear of the enemy army, cut off the enemy's logistics, retreated the defensive line, and destroyed the three cannons at the front of the defensive line.
Under the saturation blow of cannon fire, coupled with the dense arrangement of the enemy's army, the shells did not need to be calibrated by the airship, and directly eliminated about half of the rebel cards, and the rebels judged that their morale collapsed and finally failed!
Looking at the results of this game of wargames, Simon breathed a long sigh of relief, even if everything came with the worst intentions, his side had a chance of winning.
"Tut-tut, your command ability is still very strong! Ford took a sip of water and couldn't help but praise.
"Now that the rehearsal is over, you should go and get ready! Maybe when the enemy will come to the door, everything will be according to the worst plan. Simon waved his hand and took two sips of water himself.
"Alright then, I'll go inspect the team, you keep busy!" Ford put on his coat and said something to Simon, before heading out the door.
I don't know when the heavy rain outside stopped, the air was unusually fresh, but the road became muddy.
Ford frowned, what he hated the most was a rainy day, because this time it soiled his shoes, which was especially difficult to brush.
Just as he was about to leave, a soldier dressed in a different suit suddenly ran in the distance.
Ford didn't know who came, but he knew this dress, this kind of yellow-green clothes were called "camouflage uniforms" by His Royal Highness the Prince, with a certain concealment effect, and are currently only issued to the "Leviathan" special forces, so the identity of the coming is self-evident.
"See Deputy Division Commander Ford!'Leviathan' member Saad Greg reports to you, and on behalf of Captain Auriel Collin, he asks for further instructions from the command office!"
As soon as the visitor saw him, he gave a military salute and reported.
"What's the report?" asked Ford with a military salute in return.
"Report to the chief! Nanmen Pass urgently report! A large number of enemy activities have been discovered, and the number of preliminary inspections is about 100,000! The captain also said that he will act according to the plan!"
"What, come with me!" Ford glared in surprise and ran into the house with him.
