"I said... These are supposed to be confidential, right?"

A small side hall of the Heavenly Dome Palace, which has just ushered in the "zero win rate seventy-eight fiasco" in his life, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was depressed and embarrassed, collapsed on the soft sofa, casually threw away the Wang Qi in his hand, and looked at the guy in front of him with annoyance.

Fluffy and slightly curly brown hair, knife-and-axe cheeks, and a pair of strange golden pupils...... Together, they formed the middle-aged man who Brandon hated the most in the Heavenly Dome Palace and wanted to hit his Heavenly Spirit Gai with one punch.

The leader of the Night's Watch, His Majesty Eckhart II's most loyal lackey... Rutte Infinit.

"That's right, it's all top secret of the Empire... From the battlefields of the Duchy of Boi. Rutte smiled slightly, looked at His Royal Highness the Prince without any humility, and patted the file in his arms:

"According to the principle, only His Majesty the Supreme Emperor himself and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are qualified to pass over these secrets, and the others... No offense is intended, and even members of the royal family and the Minister of the Seals have no right to cross it. ”

"I knew ......"

Brandon blinked, flattened his lips and said, "Then why show me?"

"This is impossible, as I just said below, only His Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Prince have this qualification. Rute Infinit smiled slightly: "So... You can only listen to me read it to you. ”

"......" resisted the urge to roll his eyes a second time, Brandon took a deep breath, his expression was very indescribable: "Why?"

"Because Your Majesty thinks that hearing some 'news' about the Great Green Sea battlefield will help you regain your motivation and not give up so quickly. Root humbly stood up and bowed to him:

"And Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, Fitrona de Salion, said that she very much hopes that you will recover as soon as possible, so that she can hear the good news of your 'zero win rate and 100 defeats' as soon as possible. ”

“...... Thank you, sister-in-law Fetronay, for me. ”

Brandon, who flattened the corners of his mouth and looked helpless, collapsed on the sofa: "One last question - how do I know that you are telling the truth and not deliberately tricking me?"

"You can't. The smile on Root's face became more and more humble: "So you can only listen silently, and use your brilliant brain to tell which sentence is the truth and which is the lie." ”

"Then you can start talking. Brandon nodded approvingly, rested his legs on the chess table, put on his blindfold and yawned: "By the way, with your extraordinary observational judgment, I listened or not." ”

The corner of the middle-aged man's eyes flashed a hint of sharpness, but then he covered it up well:

"This is information about the Lord of Byrne, the Duke of Loren Turin—who, after joining up with Salica Jonah, Grand Duke of Varna and Lord of the Great Boi, at the Thousand Hordes, he marched south, leading a detachment of troops deep into the Great Boi, which had been overrun by the centaurs;

It is reported that he now has a total of 20,000 elite troops in his hands, which is equivalent to two full Imperial legions plus auxiliary corps, not counting the 5,000 cavalry he received from Salika Jonah, which is immense;

And his first target was to target the barren hill territory to the south of the Great Bowie Territory... It is the site of an important bazaar in the Great Green Sea, visited by dwarves and Byrne caravans, and is now overrun by an army of centaurs;

And his opponent is the elite of the centaur Bailang Banner entrenched here, also about 20,000 troops. ”

Rute Infinit paused slightly: "So... The battle began. ”

His Royal Highness the Prince pulled the blindfold off his face, revealing a corner.

"First of all, contact warfare... Loren Turin did not immediately attack the centaurs of the mounds, as everyone had expected, but instead chose to retreat, using hussars and rangers as shields to guard his camp as they retreated.

Whenever the centaurs tried or attacked his army, they would be harassed by the Boi hussars and the Byrne rangers, and if they got too close, they would charge the inner spear group, and if they were too far away, the hussars would meet the enemy with a rain of arrows;

And that's not all... According to reports, the projectile weapons of the Byrne army were extremely accurate, and could hit the target at a distance of 500 paces, so that the centaurs of the White Wave Banner did not dare to detour around the edge, otherwise countless stone cannons would rain down and suffer heavy casualties;

After several failed attempts to lure the enemy, the centaurs began to try to engage him in a decisive battle, but Loren Turin always detected their intentions first, and did not give them a chance at all, but continued to mix heavy cavalry and light cavalry to sweep the enemy's front line;"

The middle-aged man said expressionlessly: "And once the enemy's forward is too deep, it will be attacked from both sides by the phalanx infantry, and it will definitely be the end of the entire army." ”

"Guerrilla tactics?" Brandon grinned, revealing his snow-white back molars, "Let me guess... Well, it's not quite his style, and someone else should be commanding his army. ”

"The Imperial Legion, as it is commonly referred to as the 'Scimitar Offensive', consists of abundant logistics, cavalry maneuvers, and rapid contraction of the front, with the aim of constantly bleeding and demoralizing the enemy. Root said in a deep voice:

"But with the Byrnes' phalanx infantry and heavy cavalry, combined with their 'chopping block tactics', there is also a chance to annihilate the enemy on a large scale. ”

"According to rumors, the true cavalry commander of the Byrne Legion was actually Salika Jonah, Lord of the Great Boi, and the infantry was commanded by Earl Guy Angot... The last legacy of the Black Duke's era, he has won two troll wars. ”

"A great sword in one hand, a scimitar in the other... Two-handed swordsmanship?" Brandon laughed incredulously, and his mood suddenly improved a lot: "He's really good at creating miracles." ”

"With the mobile battle, the Byrne army successfully pinned down the main elite of the White Wave Banner centaurs entrenched near the barren hills, and at the same time could only leave a small number of troops to hold the camp. Rout continued:

At the same time, Loren Turin, who had left the vast majority of his forces, also began to lead the Byrne knights from the flank, starting to move towards the barren hill camp, and at the same time using projectile weapons as cover, successfully splitting the enemy in two, and the two parts of the centaur tribe could not complete the convergence. ”

The camp was threatened, the forces were split in two, and the centaur army became the more passive side, and in fact it was, and for the next few days, the centaurs of the White Wave Banner did not attack again. ”

"From this... Offensive and defensive reversal. ”

Rut Infinit's eyes like sun flares shimmer with a faint luster: "But in reality, Loren Torino's advantage is still not obvious... Because of the division of troops, there were only a thousand Byrne knights left in the guards around him;

Once his tactical arrangement is seen through, if the other party encircles and suppresses him at any cost, the victory or defeat will only be in an instant, not to mention... And that's not all. ”

"Even if the forces are equal, there is a big green sea there. Brandon sank into the soft couch: "The empty prairie... It is the world of cavalry, and centaurs are born to be cavalry. ”

"Exactly. Rute bowed slightly, which can be regarded as an endorsement of His Royal Highness the Prince's rather general statement:

"The battle has shifted from the outlying battlefields to the battle for the camp, and whether Loren Turin can defeat the defenders of the camp as quickly as possible will be the difference between victory and defeat.

If he succeeds and the camp falls, the morale of the centaurs will inevitably plummet, and it will be no more difficult to sweep them down from both sides than to hunt;

But if he can't, and at the same time is held back by the defenders, in order to rescue his duke, the Byrne's army will have to disrupt plans and steps, and make a surprise attack with all means;

At that time, the various parts of the army will be disjointed, and there will be a crack between the scimitar and the broadsword, and the centaurs will never let go of such a good opportunity, and the whole army will be torn apart in an instant with heavy casualties with an arrow piercing the heart. ”

With his head bowed, Ruth Infinit reserved the file in his hand: "In the history of the Empire, there have been examples of commanders killed in battle, or sudden dispersion of military formations, leading to the final rout... Common. ”

Putting down the file, Root, who looked indifferent, said no more.

"Gone?" His Royal Highness obviously hadn't heard enough.

"It's gone. ”

"That's all?"

"That's all. ”

After confronting the middle-aged man for a long time without any results, Brandon had to raise his hand and surrender:

"One last question - when exactly did my 'former' wizard advisor launch the general attack?"

"The information has not been sent, so I can only speculate in the next place, probably ......" Root glanced at the sun outside the window, and gradually reached the center:

"A quarter of an hour later. ”
