Chapter 337: Strategy Against Wales
"I think everyone knows the trickiness and urgency of conquering Wales, King Grufiz of the Kingdom of Gwynness. Seyuli was an ambitious fellow, and he took advantage of the opportunity of my Norman kingdom to de-Hebas and took the opportunity to go south to Devid, intending to seize the kingdom of Dehebas and unify Wales.
As we all know, Grufiz. Severi and his kingdom are hostile to the Normans, and if he succeeds, we will face the threat of a united Welsh kingdom, which I will never tolerate.
Therefore, the conquest of the Kingdom of Wales this time is imperative, and in any case we will have to take Grufitz. Seyuli and his forces were eradicated. "William and the other Osborne butlers finished introducing Grufiz. The situation in Sewli and Wales is summarized in the end:
"Ladies and gentlemen, who can volunteer to take on this crusade against Grufiz. The commander of the war with the Kingdom of Wales? β
With the experience of the last time, the noble generals present no longer rushed to speak in a noisy manner, but scratched their ears and cheeks to consider the plan for the conquest of the Welsh Kingdom, knowing that even if they answered first, they would not be able to serve as the commander of the conquest of Wales if they could not satisfy William.
Seeing that no one had taken the initiative to speak for a long time, William named Rodrigo, Count of Domenia, and said: "In this conquest of Ireland and Wales, all the troops and supplies will depart from the cities and ports of the Duchy of Brittany.
As a local lord and a major general of the Norman kingdom, Count Rodrigo, what do you think? β
William expects a lot from Rodrigo, and similarly, the other side responds to the expectations of William with his own merits.
"Back to Your Majesty, the top priority at this time is to stop Grufiz. Seyuli occupies the county of Deved and destroys the kingdom of Dekhbas.
To this end, we should first order the North Sea Fleet to attack the enemy's coastal towns and supply lines, and delay the enemy's attack on Dekhbas, so as to provide time for us to mobilize our troops. Count Rodrigo began to tell his story, and he spoke so eloquently that William nodded his head in appreciation.
"Secondly, the elite of my Norman kingdom should be assembled in order, and cross the sea by boat, and only the enemy's lair, Gwyneth, should be inserted in his back, and his back will be disturbed, so that his first place cannot be cared for......"
Before Count Rodrigo could finish speaking, the nobles on the field, who were jealous of the Spaniard, stood up one after another to interrupt Count Rodrigo's speech, saying:
"Your Majesty, Count Rodrigo is in charge of guarding Brittany against attacks from the Duchy of Aquitaine, and the burden on his body is not too small to be moved.
The task of conquering Wales will be left to our own Normans. β
When talking about the Normans, the Norman nobles who provoked trouble clearly accused William of favoring the Spaniard and not paying enough attention to the Normans.
"Enough! What a system to interrupt Count Rodrigo's speech for no reason? William's tiger eyes swept over, and the nobles present were all trembling, all of them were shocked by his loud roar.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but we lost our temper." The nobles who made trouble felt that they were at fault, so they bowed down to William and apologized.
"Well, I don't care about any of this, but you have to remember that you must abide by the rules of status, Rodrigo, as an earl, has a higher rank than you, and should be respected." William warned them to get out of the way.
"Count Rodrigo, don't worry about this, please continue!" William smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Thisβ" Count Rodrigo was stared at with jealous eyes, feeling uncomfortable, but after seeing William's smile and comfort, he relaxed, and said:
"Raiders still couldn't defeat Grufiz in the end. In the end, a decisive battle is needed to decide the winner.
But before the decisive battle, we should make use of all the favorable conditions at hand to create an opportunity for the decisive battle. β
"Looks like you're confident, Count Rodrigo"
"Your Majesty, you have made an alliance with His Majesty King Edward II of England, and you may invite the Kingdom of England to join in the war against Wales.
England's armies could enter Wales from Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, and they could attack Bowshire and Deweed, and in any case they could attract Grufitz. Se Yuli's attention is to create a fighter plane for our side to win the war.
I heard that the Duke of Mercia of England coveted the land of Wales, and I thought that the Duke would attack Wales with all his might, and then there would be a good show. β
Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang...
"Yes, yes, Count Rodrigo, this alone is enough to cover more than 10,000 troops." William clapped his hands and applauded, "Is there anything else to add?" Rod. β
"In the Welsh region, our Norman kingdom occupies the county of Glamorgan, and although it has only been occupied for a short time, the port facilities in it are quite perfect, and our army can gather forces in the county of Glamorgan, and then fight to the death with the other side.
When the time comes, the Earl of Glamorgan will be needed. Welf's help, I hope he will also become the commander of the conquest of Wales. Rodrigo nodded, tossing out his request.
"Morris. Welf is an important piece of chess that I use to balance Italy, and I can't afford to lose it on the battlefield. William thought so, looked at Rodrigo and said, "The county of Glamorgan is very important as a base for advancement and material storage, and as its lord, the count of Glamorgan also has a difficult responsibility.
Hence Morris. Welf cannot join you in commanding the army in a decisive battle against the enemy, but he should be in the castles of Glamorgan, and he should be responsible for guarding the food and ordnance of our army, and providing a way for my army to retreat and provide security. β
"It's still you who are thoughtful, but I didn't think it through, Your Majesty." Count Rodrigo shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, can you send some more noble generals to be the commanders of this conquest of the Kingdom of Wales, I am afraid that my ability is not enough to handle this difficult task." β
The Earl of Rodrigo was very modest, and he also wanted to live in harmony with the Normans, so he did not hesitate to give up the opportunity to participate in the Welsh conquest to the Normans under William's command, so as to gag the big mouths of the others.
"I'm glad you got the idea." William smiled and said, "Here I have a few candidates for you to choose from. Sir Martelley, Harding. Morality. Gail, Drago. Morality. Brewell, William. Morality. Valen and a few others, they will serve as your deputies and subordinates, I hope you can take them well. β
"It turned out to be a few young and promising nobles, and I will teach them carefully." Rodrigo agreed.
