When he received Dikar II's orders, Adlem forgot how long he had lost his mind, and it was his son Arufa who pushed him back to his senses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The order reads: Adlem was ordered to lead an army to attack Palchi by May, and the goal of this attack was to recover all the strongholds captured by Palchi along the lines of Belchet, Kutila, and Agba, and to recapture the two cities of Sher and Willy.

As the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army of Arubania, Adlem simply didn't know how to react to such a bastard's orders.

Dikar II's order may be partly past in the literal sense of the word, for Palci had entrenched there as his first line of defense after seizing some of the strongholds on the Arubanian border. With the strength there, it is indeed possible for Arubania to regain it if it were to launch a surprise attack. However, the problem was that Dicar II demanded that the three fronts of Berchet, Kutila, and Agoba be attacked at the same time to regain the lost territory. With Adelem's current strength, if he were to attack three fronts at the same time, it would make the attacks in all three places not strong enough to take these strongholds in one fell swoop, which would give Palchi time to reinforce. Taking a step back, even if these three fronts were successfully won, when Palchi launched a counteroffensive, the strength of the Arubanian army was divided into three parts, and it was easy for the Palchi army to break through, not to mention that Dikar II actually demanded that he recapture the two coastal cities of Sher and Willi. You must know that even if these two cities are recaptured, it will be difficult to hold on, because their coastal defense facilities have been completely destroyed, and the Palchi army, which has the advantage of the sea, is easy to make a comeback, and the transportation of materials in these two cities is very inconvenient, and in the end it is likely to be gained and lost, and the manpower and material resources are in vain.

Adrim knew that the original intention of Dikal II to give such an order was because such a plan was only suitable for a high-speed mobile corps like cavalry, so that the merit would definitely go to the two generals Shurya and Abrahe, and more importantly, Dikal's concubine Sula was already pregnant, and the birth date of the little prince should be in May and June, Dikal probably hoped to celebrate the birth of his son with a victory.

Unfortunately, the outcome of the war is not predictable, and if the outcome of the war is used as a bargaining chip for celebration, then it is conceivable that the king's way of thinking has been seriously deviated.

After showing the king's orders to the two generals, Shurya and Abrahe, the two veterans of the battlefield could not stop shaking their heads and sighing - no general with a normal mind would agree to such a scheming army. But Adrim reluctantly saw that the two generals had on their faces that although they were dissatisfied with the king's orders, they would still carry them out.

Aware of the two veteran generals' absolute loyalty and obedience to the royal family, Adham gave up the possibility of convincing them to adopt other strategies, and instead worked with them on the strategy that was most likely to lead to victory under the orders they were in. In the end, the three unanimously decided that since it was impossible to capture the strongholds in three directions at the same time, they would change it to three simultaneous marches and seize one of them with all their might, and the other two roads were just feints, and the opinions of the three of them on this main attack direction were all set in the direction of Belcher. First of all, the strongholds around Bercher were the least captured by Palche, and they were the easiest to capture under a quick raid, and secondly, the Beerser line was close to the Sea of Dichel, and the army could receive naval support at any time, and the supplies were sufficient, so that they could be replenished in time after recapturing the strongholds, ready for the next wave of attacks.

The task of the main attack was naturally entrusted to Shurya and Abrahe, who were to lead the cavalry as the main force, while Adrim led 30,000 soldiers to feint along Kutila and Agoba. After the successful attack of Shuryabe, they will continue to advance into Palch territory and directly threaten the fortress of Meolan, so that Palch will inevitably send a large number of troops to reinforce the fortress of Mayolan. At this time, Shurya and Abrahe led their cavalry to the south, smashing Kutila, taking advantage of Palchi's inability to defend themselves, and then looking for an opportunity to attack along the line of Agoba. If the Palci army is not fooled, then at least the first step has been completed, and there is an explanation for Dikar II, after all, the consumption of troops with the enemy army is not the final result that Arubania wants. As for the cities of Sher and Willy, the three generals did not include them in their plans at all.

Although such a plan was not perfect, Adlem believed that it was already the ultimate under limited conditions, so he immediately began to strategically deploy and quietly began to mobilize troops. For these two old generals, Adlerham only said one sentence: "I have fought with the enemy chief Li Tianhao in Xia, this person's martial arts are very strong, and his subordinates are also quite strong, if the two of them meet on the battlefield, please be careful, in addition, Palch has a thing called a crossbow machine, its range greatly exceeds the bow and arrow, and the power is also very amazing, you must be careful to beware." ”

Looking at the expressions of the two generals on his instructions, Adlem's heart tightened: this was clearly a purely polite agreement. Of course, Adrim knew that these two generals were military generals who had been galloping on the battlefield for many years, and their martial arts were indeed powerful, but these two were past their heyday like himself, and if they despised the Palchi generals, they would probably suffer a big loss. For this reason, he specially ordered his son Arufa to lead the infantry to follow the two veteran generals, and the only order he gave his son was to rescue the two veteran generals with all his might once they were in danger.

The two veterans were obviously not very satisfied with Adelim's arrangement, and in their eyes, Arufa was sent by Adrim to oversee the army. Adlem had no choice but to put Arufa under the direct command of the two veterans, and there must be no objection to the arrangement of the two veterans, which can be regarded as removing the suspicions of the two.

When things were gradually arranged, Dicar II did another thing that almost caused Adlerm to vomit blood and die - he sent a special escort to the front with a large amount of food, grass and weapons.

Dikar II's intentions were of course good, he understood that a large amount of food and grass must be consumed in battle, but such a move would have been discovered by Palci's meticulous work, from which even a fool could tell that it was a sign that the Arubanian army was about to attack. Then all the preparations for the covert operation that I have tossed for so many days will be in vain.

Adlem was quick and decided to attack immediately. He knew that Palci's details must have revealed the news to Li Tianhao, and Li Tianhao, who got the news, would definitely judge that Arubania would take action, but he didn't know that he was actually ready, and now was the best time to attack Palchi, and it was also the only time left.
