The trumpet of war never waits until everything is ready.

On the second day of the formation of the Border Garrison Corps, while the officers and soldiers of the squadrons of the various flag squadrons were still getting acquainted with each other, a fast horse from the northeast fell on the carriageway on the outskirts of the Bramont City Defense Zone.

The task force that came back from the sentry spotted the friendly herald with a spearhead in the leg and was bleeding dry, and carried the soon-to-be-fallen corpse back.

This is a herald who escaped from the war zone of Fort Gennet, and the fact that a herald can look like this can only mean one thing - Fort Gennet has fallen or is about to fall.

When the heralds woke up, the situation was indeed the case, and Fort Gennet was about to fall.

Bramont City was nervous, the guards of the castle and the private soldiers of the nearby lords retreated into Bramont City, and the village fort manor that was alerted around the city was also closed, and everyone was in danger.

Unlike the Bramon local army, which had shrunk into a bunch of closed doors, the Jonah Frontier Garrison Corps, which had just completed its formation and run-in training, had already begun to enter combat mode, and the first regiment inside the city (the Wells Legion) and the second regiment outside the city (the Prisoners' Legion), as well as the various units attached to the garrison corps, began to pack up their tents and prepare for the march.

When the entire border garrison corps was busy with thousands of people, the Chinese army commanded the camp tent and had not yet moved, because the final march route was still being agreed in the camp tent.

The officers disputed whether to relieve Fort Gené from the fall or to reinforce the remaining forts of Wallonia.

Those who supported the former saw clearly the defensive relationship between Fort Gennet and Fort Wallonia, believing that once Fort Gennet fell, Fort Wallonia would become an isolated city, and that the enemy was likely to make a detour through Fort Gennet to the rear of Fort Wallonia;

According to the predent's last account, Fort Gennet had been besieged by nearly 800 Swabians, and the number was still increasing, with few defenders left in the city, and the small number of reinforcements that had arrived earlier had been eaten by the Schwabians. If they were to rescue Fort Gennet, whether they could defend the city or not, I was afraid that the army of less than 1,000 men of the border garrison corps would also have to take it, so they insisted that as long as the Swabians who attacked Fort Wallonia were driven away and the defense line near Fort Wallonia was stabilized, and a vicious dog was by their side, the Swabians would not dare to invade the territory.

The mouth can say whatever it takes, but it is the head that ultimately makes the decision.

Art's brain hurts, so far he has no experience in this kind of large-scale combat, it is not difficult for a thousand people to defend two castles with plenty of time and preparation, but now he needs to defend not one or two castle fortresses, but a whole precarious border.

Two of the four towns on the frontier had been lost, and although there were still local troops behind the frontier, the gates of a castle had been breached, and the firewood fence of every house could be kicked open by a robber with a single kick.

And the reason why Schwabian has not sent a large army to invade the border from the gap between the two border cities that have fallen is only because there are still two castles in the north that have not been breached.

Art's eyes kept scanning back and forth over the topography map, and his right hand kept rubbing against the cross-patterned beads of the sword's hilt at his waist.

"Reinforcements of Wallonia!" Art finally made a decision, which was not necessarily the most correct, but at least it would keep his officers from losing their way.

"Otto and Angus, you two will immediately discuss the final battle plan for the reinforcement of Wallonburg, and after the discussion, let someone call me in the lord's hall. I will go at once to consult with Viscount Jonn about armament and baggage, and it will not be so easy to deliver supplies near Wallonia. ”

After determining the general direction, the remaining battle plan can naturally be done by the two commanders and a group of officers with rich combat experience, and Art only needs to make slight modifications to the battle plan drawn up by them to implement it, and the battle plan must be adjusted at any time according to the current situation of the battlefield, and it is not completely certain now.

To lead an army of 1,000 men into battle, the most important and difficult thing now is no longer how to fight, but how to maintain the continuation of the battle.

To put it in layman's terms, it is how to ensure the army's baggage line, how to ensure that food and material resources are continuously delivered to the camps of the fighting army, how to let the wounded soldiers withdraw to the rear for treatment and recuperation, and how to ensure that the front-line army will not be left empty behind when fighting.

In this era when the passive side is centered on defending the city, the term "logistics support" is definitely an illusory thing. Otto may be able to do some military chores for Art, but some things are limited by thinking and identity, and ordinary people really can't do it.

For example, as Odo, it is absolutely impossible to persuade Viscount Jonn to give up the natural protection of the castle, and send troops to carry food and baggage for the border garrison corps in the middle of a fierce battle, at the risk of being beaten and robbed.

Art took the court military adviser and the military priest to Viscount Jorn, who was hiding in the lord's hall to discuss the defense of the city, and spent the whole afternoon mediating and arguing with Viscount Jörn and his commanders, just to mobilize the whole county of Bramont to support a battle to defend the east and Brahmon City.

To be sure, Brammon had done his best, and the otherwise wealthy frontier had been drained of the eastern and western battlefields, and their limited army and food supplies had to be stockpiled in preparation for the Swabians' incoming swords after the destruction of Walloon Castle. Desktop:

In the end, Art promised to urgently recruit a group of more than 100 peasants from his barony in Tignets County in the south to support the defense of Bramont City within half a month, and then use the food and supplies allocated by the palace to the border garrison corps as collateral to persuade the lords of Brammon County to squeeze out a thousand people's emergency food and grass baggage for a month from between their teeth, of course, Brammon will also send troops to provide baggage transportation and soldier replenishment for the fighting army.

Utter immediately asked the military adviser Sir Banting to send a letter to the court of Jonah informing him that the follow-up supplies should be brought directly into Brammon, and at the same time ordered the guards to send two heralds with his handwritten letter to return to Tinets County to mobilize the army to the north

By the time they came out of the hall of the lord, it was getting dark, and the two infantry regiments of the Border Garrison Corps and the heavy infantry corps, the bow corps, and the slow marching contingent of the Task Force, the Judge Advocate Corps, the Deadpool Squad, and the Baggage Corps had left Bramont City and camped at a fork in the road twelve miles east of Bramont City, and they would continue to approach Walloon Fort eastward early tomorrow morning.

The cavalry team was also sent by the Chinese army command camp to the front of the brigade to sentry and shield the battlefield.

Only the Barons' Guard and the officers and subordinates of the Central Command Camp were left in the camp in Bramont, all of whom marched on horseback and were ready to chase the brigade.

Yate dragged his tired body back to the military tent that was still discussing the battle plan, took the minced meat porridge handed over by the guard, drank a big sip, and moistened his throat with a wine glass, and asked directly to the two adjutants standing on the terrain map with a smoking voice: "How is it?" Has the rescue plan been completed? ”

Otto nodded at Angus, who led Art to the topography map, "My lord, we have prepared two rescue plans. ”

"First, go directly to Walloon Castle and fight against the 1,200 Swabian troops (including miscellaneous servants and craftsmen) who attacked Wallonia. Second, the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Border Garrison Corps, as well as the crossbow team and the Deadpool team, feigned an attack on the Swabians under Walloon Castle in order to attract enemy forces, and then the 1st Infantry Corps, Heavy Infantry Corps, and Cavalry Corps made a detour to the enemy's flank to attack"
