Listening to Nokicalf's words, everyone had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, everyone focused on finding a large number of cavalry, and kept thinking about where the other party was hiding, but if there was no so-called large number of cavalry at all, then of course they would not be found. [Full text reading. In his early years, Ren Fei had accompanied Wu Jue to conquer the Chai clan, and he himself had a lot of research on cavalry, and he thought that what Noki Kraft said could be completely realized, only a hundred cavalry, and in one hour, it could also create traces of more than 5,000 people. Xiao Zhiyun was also thinking about Noki Cave's words, anyway, Noki Cave's idea is very possible. Ren Feng rubbed his forehead, his eyes never left the map, "General Nokicalf's words are very reasonable, but it seems to be a bit of a problem, if the Germans don't have the idea of stationing the Reye River at all, then why do they want to make traces in the Reyes River, what's the point of doing this, just to tell us that they have come?" ”

Noki Kav smiled bitterly and shook his head, he couldn't figure this out, "General Ren is right, but I think since the other party is doing this, it must have a plan, and the Germans will not do meaningless things." It's just that we haven't been able to see through it yet, and of course, it can't be ruled out that the Germanic cavalry has been hiding near the River Reye, but this possibility is very small, unless these Germans will be invisible. ”

Stealth? That's a joke, no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to hide so many people and war horses tightly, you must know that in order to find the traces of the Germans, Psk City not only sent hundreds of scouts, but also the personnel of the Dark Hall Intelligence Service under Tang Miao, plus the help of the surrounding Slavic people, even a group of crows flew from the sky, and they couldn't hide. Xiao Zhiyun doesn't think that the Germanic people will have any stealth techniques, what are these Germanic people going to do? No matter how clever the marching formation is, there are traces to follow, Xiao Zhiyun once heard Zhao Yougong talk about a theory, if you can't guess the other party's methods, then use the stupidest method to eliminate many targets little by little. In this area, there are not too many targets worthy of the Germanic people's hands, Mesuda City, Vilnius City, Psk City, Yang Zaixing and a large number of soldiers and horses are stationed near Mesuda City, so this place is directly excluded, Vilnius City is far away, not suitable for raids, and it is unlikely, and the only thing left is Pske City. But if it was the city of Pske, why did the Germans create an illusion on the River Reye, wasn't it superfluous? No, there must have been something overlooked, and suddenly Xiao Zhiyun's face became very ugly, she stared at Ren Pheno, and asked a little anxiously, "Where is Yelusha's department stationed, and when was the latest military report delivered?" ”

Ren Phenol was stunned, but still replied seriously, "Back to the princess, the news that just came yesterday evening is that General Yelu's headquarters is stationed in the Tanpo grassland in the southeast, about eighty miles away from Psk City. According to the previous plan, General Yelu would leave the Tanpo steppe in the next two days and camp near the Ryazan River, forty miles away, to form an angle with our troops. ”

Ren Phenol didn't feel anything when he said it, but after he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, he opened his mouth half-open, and whispered in disbelief, "Princess, are you worried that the Germans will sneak up on General Yelu's army?" It's impossible."

Xiao Zhiyun smiled coldly, clenched her fists, and gently slammed the tabletop, "Hmph, what's impossible?" Even we didn't expect that Jerusha's side would be defenseless. It is true that there are nearly 5,000 elites in Jerusha's department, but the strength of the Germanic cavalry should not be underestimated. Once the Germans attacked the Ryazan River at night and suddenly rushed up from the south while Jerusha's headquarters was not firmly established, do you think Jerusha could withstand it? There is danger on Jerusha's side, and we must rush to Jerusha's aid, so that the Germans can easily take the city of Pske. ”

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, nothing is impossible, Xiao Zhiyun is worried, but after all, she doesn't know the situation around Pske City, so she can only put her hope on Nokikaff, "General Nokikaff, you are quite familiar with the vicinity of Pske City, I wonder if there is any way to reach the Ryazan River directly south of the Rye River?" ”

The hall was full of veterans in the army, and everyone understood what the consequences of the Germanic surprise attack on the Ryazan River would be, so for a while, everyone looked grim, as if they were facing a great enemy. Noki Kraft couldn't help but be shocked by Xiao Zhiyun's judgment, and also admired the courage of the Germanic people. Nokicalf didn't look at the map, he thought carefully, the map was too simple, and many places near the city of Psk were not marked, so he could only find it from memory. No one bothered Noki Kraft, for fear of interrupting his thoughts, I don't know how long it took, maybe a quarter of an hour, maybe an hour, but for Xiao Zhiyun and others, it seemed to have been waiting for millions of years. Nokicalf frowned, and pointed his finger heavily at the southeast corner of the Rye River, "Look here, the Rye River is a diversion of the Suzdal River, forming a fork in the road here, which the locals call the Crossroads. To the north from the crossing, there was a red pine forest, and when the rainy season began, the soil was soft and muddy, and the cavalry could not pass through it at all. But now in autumn, the water level at the crossroads has dropped, and the soil of the Korean pine forest is slowly becoming hard, and if the Germans were to raid the Ryazan, it must have passed through the red pine forest. ”

Listening to Noki Cave's words, the commander Chen Qisheng showed an expression of disbelief, and said with a big mouth, "This is unlikely, princess, the last general once went to the red pine forest, and when he stepped on it, he almost didn't sink into it, it was like a swamp, even if the soil was hard, it would not be possible to allow a large number of cavalry to pass through." That's not right, isn't there a hidden path in the red pine forest? ”

"There should be, in the early years I heard that someone was able to cross the red pine forest and bring much-needed goods to Vilnius City to sell," Noki Kraft nodded with certainty, he had doubted this rumor before, but now, he was almost 100% sure. There must be an unknown path in the red pine forest, along which it is possible to pass through the muddy forest smoothly. Xiao Zhiyun did not hesitate for a moment, and instructed her own soldiers, "Send someone to check on the red pine forest immediately, search everything within a five-mile radius of the crossroads, and don't let go of any clues." If you find anything, report it immediately. ”

The scouts have been sent out, and due to the lack of manpower, they have specially drawn some cavalry from the Beicheng camp to search in the red pine forest. Although the matter was generally clear, no one left, and everyone stayed in the City Lord's Mansion, patiently waiting for the scout to deliver news. In the evening, the scouts who searched the River Reyes sent a message, and after searching for a long time, they still found nothing, and the Germanic people seemed to have evaporated from the world. Only half an hour later, the cavalry who went to the red pine forest hurried back, "Report to the princess, there are signs of a large number of soldiers and horses stationed at the crossroads, there is a large amount of horse manure in the estuary depression, and a large number of horseshoe prints have also been found on the periphery of the red pine forest. ”

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally caught the Germanic cavalry. Ren Phenol and the others looked at each other, it was really incredible, the Germans really passed through the red pine forest, no wonder they couldn't find any trace of each other in the past two days, they actually hid in the red pine forest. For a long time, everyone regarded the red pine forest as the grave of the cavalry, and never thought that it could be passed by cavalry, so they missed it when searching. It is already an unchangeable fact that the Germans passed through the red pine forest, and once this cavalry raids the Ryazan River, the consequences will be unimaginable, "Princess, what to do now?" Judging by the itinerary, the Germans were much faster than us. ”

Xiao Zhiyun did not hesitate at all, when she saw the other party's specific strategy, she had nothing to worry about. In Xiao Zhiyun's opinion, no matter how powerful the opponent is, once it is placed in the open, it will be much easier to deal with, "Yelusha has two thousand iron floating slaughter, nearly two thousand light horsemen, and more than a thousand foot soldiers. With Jerusha's ability, not to mention blocking the sneak attack of the Germans, he will definitely be able to survive until we go to the rescue. Ren Phenol and Noki Kav obey the order, and the two of you quickly order all the cavalry, and immediately gallop to the Ryazan River, and be sure to reach the Ryazan River before tomorrow's ugly hour. ”

Well? Everyone was stunned at the same time, Nokicav still thought that he had heard it wrong, all the cavalry was sent out, which was equivalent to giving up the ability to attack, and relying only on those thousands of foot soldiers to defend the city of Psk? The more Noki Kav thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but as a Slav, even if he had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask directly, but Ren Pheno didn't have so many taboos, and asked with a frown, "Princess, transfer all the cavalry away, what should we do with Psk City?" ”

"Did Concubine Ben say that she was going to defend Psk City? Okay, don't ask so much, time is pressing, it is the right thing to send troops quickly, since this concubine has arranged it this way, she naturally has the concubine's plan" Xiao Zhiyun waved her hand, and she didn't plan to explain too much. Seeing Xiao Zhiyun's attitude, Ren Phenol and the others didn't ask much, the order was issued, and the entire Psk City became busy, and the soldiers in the Beicheng military camp just had a hasty meal, so they gathered together and followed Ren Phenol and the others out of Psk City. The cavalry left on the front foot, Xiao Zhiyun ordered Chen Qisheng to lead the infantry to set off behind, and the people of Psk City were also coerced out of the city, and in just two hours, this Psk City became an empty city. Uprooted from their homeland and abandoning their homeland, no one would be willing, but in the face of the steel knife and spear, the Slavic people could only swallow their anger, after all, as long as people live, there is hope.

In the north of Psk City, a huge cavalry was slowly advancing, Ren Feng was sitting on the horse, his brows were tightly locked, he had been thinking about Xiao Zhiyun's words, what was the princess going to do? Noki Kraft next to him was very calm, he was concentrating on marching, and he didn't think about it so much at all, Ren Phenol leaned closer and said in a low voice, "General Noki Kraft, have you figured it out?" ”

"Sort of, in fact, the princess has already told us the answer, the princess has never thought of defending Psk City, that is to say, Psk City can be abandoned" Look at the dim sky in the distance, the stars are dotted on both sides of the Milky Way, empty and far away, just like Xiao Zhiyun's heart, unfathomable, "At first, I didn't understand something, but after thinking about it carefully, I understood what the princess meant." From the very beginning, the so-called heavy garrison of Psk was a cover, and the Kyiv side had long been prepared to abandon Psk. Has General Ren ever wondered why the Germanic people are obviously inferior to us, why do they dare to brazenly attack the Istrian heights? Because the Istrian Heights are too big, they have a large number of cavalry, advance and retreat freely, fight whenever they want, and leave whenever they want, although we have sufficient troops, but the army restructuring has not yet ended, and it is simply impossible to take care of the entire Istrian Highlands in a short period of time. In that case, we might as well abandon some places, in the north, we should abandon the area around Yelinburg, and in the Istrian heights, we can also abandon the city of Psk. The Germans have no scruples, so they attack everywhere unscrupulously, but once they take Psk City, it is equivalent to carrying a heavy treasure, and the Germans will work hard to protect this treasure. It was only a city to abandon it, but it was able to drag the Germans firmly near Psk, and they could no longer attack with impunity and advance and retreat as before. ”

Speaking of these, Noki Kav is full of admiration for those big people sitting in the city of Kyiv, this kind of strategic deployment, has gone beyond simple military tactics, and must have inhuman foresight, at least he Noki Kav is still too far behind. War is not a gain or loss of a city or a place, and sometimes giving up is also a kind of gain. Flexibility and ease of advance and retreat are the strengths and advantages of the Germanic people, but a Pske city can erase the strengths of the Germanic people. The city of Psk was so important that once it was obtained, the Germans would use it as a bridgehead for an attack on the Istrian heights, and they would inevitably send heavy troops to defend it.

"It seems to make a lot of sense, but after the Germans take the city of Psk, they can directly attack the city of Kyiv to the east, and they can also threaten the city of Vilnius, is this too costly?" Ren Phenol shook his head, his face full of sorrow.

Nokicalf smiled slightly, and said in a flat tone, "On the surface, it seems like this, but everything is mutual, the Germans can use Psk City to threaten Vilnius and Kiev City, and we will also form a clamp on Psk City." The Germans could have attacked the city of Kiev directly, but General Ren forgot a little. If you really want to talk about it, we are the strong side, but we can't use the power in our hands for a short time. However, in the vicinity of Kiev, as long as the Germans dared to go to Kiev to spread wilderness, the 5th and 6th military camps northwest of Vladimir could immediately cross the Suzdal River, and no less than 50,000 troops would be quickly assembled near Kiev. The Germans have three heads and six arms, and they can't beat the heavily guarded city of Kiev, in which we don't need a city wall at all, and the elite army of no less than 50,000 is the strongest city wall. What's more, reality does not allow the Germans to stay in Kiev for a long time, as long as the garrison of Vilnius City and the cavalry of General Yelu are inserted to the south, the Germanic rear route can be cut off at any time. So, the Germans can fight the city of Kyiv, but whether they can fight and whether they can take it down are completely different things. It seems that he can attack Kyiv City at any time, but every time he goes, not only can he not defeat Kyiv City, but he will also lose his troops and face the danger of being cut off from the back road, so what is the meaning of attacking Kyiv City, just to let himself lose his troops and lose his generals? When it comes to strategic deployment, the regent and others are much stronger than us. ”
