Chapter 592: Surprise Attack (1)
In fact, Hathaway has long been analyzing the composition of the military strength of the Molaika Empire, compared to Otiga, the knights of the Molaika Empire are much stronger, but they are far inferior to the Rock Corps and the Blue Sea Corps that they now control in terms of infantry strength...... The main infantry of these two legions are barbarians and orcs, and their strength is second to none in the Titan world as a whole.
Hathaway has also compared the difference between her own military power and the military power of the Moreca Empire, and how to use her advantage to stifle the other party and achieve victory has always been her and Barthes. The subject of Willy's research, however, is that the confrontation between military forces is not won by tactics alone...... While you are thinking about suppressing the opponent's advantages and giving full play to your strengths, the other party is also thinking about the same topic, and then thinking about how to take cracking or countermeasures, there are many excellent military generals in the Molaika Empire, otherwise they would not have been able to hold on to the long confrontation with the Odiga Empire until now.
Many of the pre-designed strategies are waste paper when they are actually practiced.
Hathaway can only say that she is as thoughtful as possible, and as for the real decision on the outcome of the war, it still depends on strength and temporary changes...... As the saying goes, 'soldiers, sophistry'.
While Hathaway was contemplating how much military force she could mobilize to deal with what could be called a battle that could determine the fate of Odiga and herself, Barth. Willie hurriedly answered the call and went to Hathaway's study.
On Hathaway's desk, there was a huge sand table, and Hathaway's eyes were constantly roaming the line of Pierceburg.
Pierceburg is a place that is close to its own control. Fortunately, Caesar withdrew from the unsuspenseful war for hegemony very cleanly, so that the hostility and opposition to himself in this region were relatively not too strong, which also accelerated the integration and speed of the Knights of Piercebourg.
But what now?
Is it passively waiting for the Molaika Empire to take full control of the Maple Dew region before making a move?
Or do you want to be the first to strike?
The former is a little sluggish, but it is conducive to the preparation of his own forces, while the latter can seize the opportunity, but it is very likely to be attacked by the Molaika Empire, which has already gathered momentum.
"Barth, what should we do now?" Hathaway suddenly looked up at her military commander.
"It depends on how the adults are prepared to fight this battle. If you just want to expel the Molaika Empire from the Otiga range, of course, it's best to strike first. In this way, as long as we can stabilize the early stage, wait for our follow-up forces to catch up. With the current strength of the Molaika Empire. It is not enough to compete with our current strength, unless they continue to build up their forces or take all the plunge. ”
Barthes. Willie in a reception of Cecia. Hughes's briefing, he realized that war was inevitable, after issuing a war mobilization order to the logistics department and combat units as quickly as possible. He had just come to Hathaway.
"If there's going to be a big fight through and through. Completely break the backbone of the Molaika Empire. Let them in. Maple dew is not something they can eat in one bite, and if we can join forces with the Odin Kingdom to send troops together, I think we can teach the Moleka Empire a very memorable lesson. ”
"It's not up to us. And it depends on the Molaika Empire. Hathaway frowned, Barthe. Willie's words seem to be very debatable.
"That's right, so you don't need to think about it so much, since the scale of the war depends on the other side, then we don't need to think about anything, we will fight when we come, and fight until they are served. What stage of preparation now, what level of investment we have, the existing investment force of the Molaika Empire is also large, according to the report of the intelligence department, they are not ready for a full-scale war, I suspect that they are mentally prepared to fight a full-scale war, especially for Fenglu, even if their emperor has such intentions, but to convince the nobles and people in the country, it will also take time. It is likely that the occupation of Fenglu was used to create a fait accompli in order to test our reaction. ”
Barthes. Willie's words immediately made Hathaway decide:
"Command Bowen. Courtney led the lead force into the territory of Maple Dew first, the Knights of Fort Pierce and the Knights of Homer followed, the Blue Sea Legion and the Knights of the Rose were ready, and they must arrive at the designated place to assemble within three days, and within a week I will see our forces compete with the Molaika Empire on the same starting line. ”
"My lord, I suggest that we can use the channel of the Buchar River to preemptively transport some of the orc infantry into Mandalay, because it is already the territory promised to you by His Highness Dietrich, and I believe that the Molaika Empire will have illusions about avoiding direct conflict with us until we have clearly declared war on them, and this is our opportunity to gain a foothold in Mandalay, which is quite beneficial for us to fully recover Fenglu and open another front in the future."
Barthes. Willie's suggestion made Hathaway's eyes light up, it was a good idea, the Molaika Empire entered the Maple Dew name, and they didn't put forward the slogan of crusading against themselves, obviously they didn't want to directly break out a large-scale conflict with themselves now, they also needed some buffer time, and this time was quite beneficial to themselves.
"Well, very good, just do it according to your ideas, let Courtney go, seize Mandalay, be sure to hold Mandalay for me, as long as you occupy Mandalay, the Molaika Empire will have to face a two-front battle in the future, Barth, let the follow-up troops speed up their mobilization preparations, and they must all be put into the battlefield within three days."
Hathaway made her decision immediately.
Bowen on the return from the Cordillera Sur. Courtney received the urgent order almost in a daze, and almost without any opportunity to inquire or listen, he led six thousand half-orc soldiers by boat from Lirovence to the designated place in the middle of the night, and then landed on the shore and marched to the fortress of Gettysburg for two consecutive days, followed by an ancient plug and set off.
The two-day march without rest made the orc soldiers, who prided themselves on their toughness, tired enough, and although they regularly trained for rapid marching, this was the first time they had encountered a march of this intensity. Moreover, the tough military orders made them have no room for bargaining at all, and of course these orc warriors have never been in the habit of bargaining.
Fortunately, as soon as they boarded the ship from the Gettysburg fortress, the orc soldiers were left with a rest, and thirty large cargo ships of various specifications were temporarily requisitioned, some of which had not even been cleaned of cinders and slag, and the orc soldiers were in a hurry to get on board, and soon there was a snoring sound comparable to thunder in these cabins.
Bowen. Courtney was also tired, after all, such a high-intensity rapid march was physically exhausting, but as a commander, of course, he had to pay more than the soldiers, for example, now he had to force his sleepiness to think about the purpose of this run.
Hathaway and Barthes. The military order issued by Willy was simple. Take control and hold Mandalay. Make sure you don't lose at least a week, and within a week, eight thousand reinforcements will follow, and the enemy is an army from the Moreka Empire. The number, number, and generals leading the team are unknown.
Bowen. Courtney immediately sensed the difficulty of the mission. The enemy situation is unknown. This requires him to send scouts to collect intelligence as soon as he lands on Mandalay land, and Mandalay is too far away from the area controlled by Lord Hathaway, and there is no need to think about reinforcements in three or five days. Bowen. Courtney knew that the main Cordillera army was concentrated in Mandy, Gaza and Piercesburg, and that his 6,000 men had just finished training.
Bowen. Courtney took a breath of cool air, wait, the eight thousand reinforcements that Lord Hathaway said must not be another group of recruits who have just finished training?
Bowen. The more Kourtney thought about it, the more likely it was, that it really got a hot potato, these 6,000 soldiers have not yet been baptized by war, although Bowen. Courtney is also very confident in the quality of the orc soldiers, but this is a bloody war, and he also gave himself a death order to defend Mandalay, obviously the enemy is very strong, and he may encounter the most cruel and passive situation, and what will these soldiers with no war experience bring? That's a big deal!
But it's not Bowen anymore. Courtney can decide, Hathaway obviously wants to take Mandalay, this land of great significance to the whole of Otiga.
It is said that this piece of land was promised to Hathaway by His Royal Highness Dietrich, and then the two sides followed suit, and this matter ended without a problem, and now they let themselves in like burning eyebrows, has the situation changed again?
Thirty ro-ro cargo ships of different sizes sailed silently on the Buchar River, and the soldiers also took this opportunity to seize the time to rest.
Disembark from the mouth of Lake Buchar Bowen. Courtney had to travel dozens of miles to avoid the monsters' habitats...... At this time, although venturing through the Warcraft habitat can save time, it is too risky to encounter, Bowen. Courtney didn't dare to take risks, and Hathaway repeatedly told him before leaving, which made him feel a lot of pressure.
Bowen. Courtney lay quietly in the dense forest on the outskirts of the Hassan Valley, in terrible condition...... The enemy came faster than expected, as evidenced by the multiple pillars of smoke that appeared in the only town in the Hassan Valley, how could there be such a column of smoke in the field for no reason in the town, and it was obvious that the enemy army was camping in the wilderness.
The orc soldiers were unusually quiet, which made Bowen. Courtney was very proud that this was no longer the orc soldiers when they first became an army, after a long period of training and the usual strict discipline restrictions, the orc soldiers have adapted to the military rules that are completely different from their living habits, and the first thing to do in order to secure this salary is to obey the rules and disciplines, and this half-orc has done this.
The scout still didn't return and that made Bovin. Courtney was in a hurry, just asking them to figure out where the enemy was. There is also a certain degree of maleness, and now time is the guarantee of victory, no matter how many enemies there are, as long as they can hit the other party by surprise, Bowen. Courtney believed that his sons could beat them up in one fell swoop.
A few birdsongs came from a distance, and the half-elf archers, who were already on high alert, breathed a sigh of relief, and the figures of several scouts immediately appeared next to the trees at the edge of the cliff. Courtney was also envious, these Terran elites' flexible bodies were indeed more suitable for scouting than the stout and tall orcs, just as the half-elves were suitable for the work of archers.
"How?"
"Mr. Courtney has basically figured out the situation, these guys have just arrived, probably two hours before us, and most of them have just started camping and resting."
"What's the smoke column all about?"
"It's they are cooking a fire and preparing hot water, and they look quite tired."
"How many are there?"
"There are only about 2,000 people in the valley, but it seems that there are already 3,000 in Mandalay."
Bowen. Courtney's heart sank, Mandalay had already entered the Moleka Imperial Army, so how could he complete his mission?
It is not difficult to solve this group of Molaika Imperial soldiers in the Hassan Valley, the problem is how to take down the 3,000 Molaika Imperial soldiers in Mandalay?
Say too much, say a lot less, once the other party is prepared and falls into a protracted war, the other party's follow-up forces will keep up, and the 6,000 people in his hands will only have the life to play.
"What about the composition of the two thousand in the valley?"
Bowen. Courtney settled down, he was also an old man who had experienced many wars, how could he fight a war with such restlessness? Bowen. Courtney despises himself in his heart, and when he hears about the unfavorable situation, he is frightened, and what else is there to talk about fighting tough battles and fighting evil battles?
"Well, we found hundreds of war horses, which should belong to the cavalry of the Molaika Empire, and the main force should still be infantry." It should be said that the work of the scouts is done quite meticulously.
Bowen. Courtney was silent in thought, but the half-elf crossbowman leader beside him interjected: "Lord Courtney, is it possible to use these cavalry to make a fuss?" ”
I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
