The Yaki Army will attack Dbans today.

This information was quickly sent to Jamo's desk in the city of Affordans. Jamo, who got the news, immediately reported the situation to Li Tianhao, and immediately convened a meeting of the top brass of the Dirs army.

Similar to Libera's reaction, most of the attendees' first reaction was shock. They also do not understand what practical benefits this attempt of the Yagi Army will have, but on the contrary, it will raise a series of problems. Only Wei Song sat beside Li Tianhao with a smile on his face and said nothing.

Li Tianhao noticed this and asked, "Does Mr. have any plans?" ”

Wei Song saw Li Tianhao asking, and said, "If this news from Lord Yamo is true, it is really a great good thing for our army. ”

"Why did you say that, sir?"

"For the time being, if the Yaki Army really goes to attack Dbans, and Dbans is not controlled by our army, it is only an undefended autonomous city, then the side that takes the lead in attacking it will inevitably become the party that starts an unjust war, and it will lose a lot morally. If our army uses this propaganda to propagate it, the people of Durbans will inevitably become more inclined to identify with us. ”

Li Tianhao nodded and said: "This is inevitable, but Durbans is not suitable for defense at all, even if our side sends troops to recapture it, it may not have any great benefits as Mr. said." ”

Wei Song shook his head: "No. In fact, this is only a matter of the initial level, and the most important thing is that if the Yaki Army wants to take Durbans, the best option is to launch a surprise attack, so as to avoid a head-on conflict with our army, so that it can be involved in a war with unknown outcome and defeat. What you can't understand is this, Durbans is easy to attack and difficult to defend, even if it is captured by the Yaki army, our army can recapture it relatively easily. This back and forth did not do the Yaki Army itself any good, so everyone was confused about Yaki's true purpose. ”

"Exactly." All of you echoed in unison.

"I feel the same way about this. Let's make a bold assumption, if the Yaki Army does not have any further strategic objectives at all, is that possible? ”

"No goal?" Xenas shouted before the others.

Wei Song smiled: "Yes, this sounds a bit unbelievable, but if you exclude all kinds of reasonable explanations. This most irrational explanation becomes the most plausible explanation. While we can't be 100% sure that this is the case, it's not that different from our plan. Everyone, please think about it, at present, the Yaji Army is evenly matched in all aspects relative to our army, and even has the upper hand, so it can be said that they are in a state of more defense and less attack. The defensive line they had established at Abdus was quite solid, and if our troops were to break through this line by force, the casualties would be quite heavy. But now they have to use a considerable number of troops to raid Durbans, then"

"Abdus's defenses will be empty!" Li Tianhao reacted.

Wei Song bowed slightly at him, and continued, "They will come secretly." We can also sneak in, compared to the Yaki Army, which has always been used to swaggering, our army can be said to be familiar with this kind of little trick. ”

When Mueller heard this, he couldn't help but say, "I really don't know whether to be happy or angry when Mr. said this." ”

Wei Song smiled and said, "Although there is nothing to be done, this is a fact. Therefore, there are only two keys to the success of our raid plan, the first is to break through the Abdus line quickly, and the second is to prevent the Yaki Army from coming back. And the key to this second point is to sabotage the Yaqui Army's intention to capture Durbans. ”

This time no one interjected. Instead, he quietly listened to what Wei Song was going to say next. Because Durbans is an undefended place, and it is also an undefended autonomous city that is not subject to Palci. Even if you want to send a garrison, the other party will not accept it, and will suspect that you are interested in taking over the city.

Wei Song paused for a moment before he said, "According to the intelligence, in order to make up for the lack of troops, Yaki has reached an agreement with the Frank State and obtained a mercenary group from the Frank Country, numbering about 10,000. Among them were Cretan archers and hoplite regiments. If the estimates are correct, the Yaquies will use this elite force as a force to hold Durbans. However, they would not allow these two forces to participate in the capture of Durbans, as archers were effective for sieges, but not much in raids, and hoplites were slower to move. It would also be unwise to use it for a surprise attack, so it is almost certain that these two units will be behind the Yakee Army's sortie. The weakest time for these two forces was when they were in the field, so our cavalry had the best aim, and the matter was left to Lord Müller, and the location of his troops was determined by Lord Jamo in time.

The next question is how to prevent Durbans from falling into the hands of the Yaki Army. As long as Durbans does not fall into the hands of the enemy by quickly breaking the will to resist under the surprise attack, as the Yaki Army imagined, it will be difficult for the Yaji Army to achieve the goals of the first stage, even if he has the goals of the next stage. However, as we know, Durbans was a difficult place to hold, it had no garrison, no tall and thick walls, and it would be very difficult to defend against the attack of the Yaqui army. But as it happens, I've been reading Yaqui's history books lately, and I've learned a secret from Durbans. In ancient times, Durbans was not Yaki's territory, but rather the capital of one of Yaki's rivals. This ancient kingdom was called Accramu, and the god they worshipped was the god Accra enshrined in the temple of Accra, and as a result, Yaki paid a heavy price despite his subjugation of Accramu. It is well known that the temple of Accra was built entirely of stone, and the same was true of the city of Durbans at that time, so it took Yaki a full fifteen years to capture Durbans alone, with hundreds of thousands of casualties. As a result, King Missis I of Yaki decided to completely demolish the walls and buildings of the city of Durbans, which is now only the size of the royal city of Accra, and most of the stone buildings have not been preserved, and everything that remains is in ruins. ”

After listening to Wei Song's words, everyone couldn't help but sigh for a while, a city as big as Durbans turned out to be just the royal city of the original city, and it was unimaginable how magnificent the original Durbans was.

"Unfortunately, although the Yaki people demolished Durbans, they had no way to take the ruins with them, and the mud brought by the Naura River had long since erased all traces over time. Almost all of the banks of the Namra River are fertile land, but the area around Durbans is relatively barren because of the thin soil layer around it and the rocks underneath. ”

Li Tianhao heard the clue and said, "Sir, you mean to use these stones to build the city walls of Durbans?" ”

"No, it's too late, and the people of Durban won't say yes." Wei Song smiled and said, "Let's go to reclaim the wasteland." ”

After speaking, Wei Song blinked his eyes and showed a sly smile. (To be continued.) )
