Vultures stared at the map in front of him, lost in thought as he watched the location of the small flag marked by friend and foe.

As Viscount Libera was instructed to patrol the pirates in the eastern seas, and during this period the Tyres thieves invaded, King Kadir appointed Vultures as the commander and led an army of 120,000 to meet them.

Li Tianhao led 100,000 troops and marched north along both sides of the Nanra River, and the speed of his attack was breathtaking. Although Vulture had originally set a strategy to lure the enemy deeper, deliberately lengthening Li Tianhao's battle line, so that Li Tianhao's troops could not be separated in Yaji's territory and waited for changes in his territory, but with the current advance speed of Li Tianhao's troops, it was too fast. Since Li Tianhao's army crossed the Rolandsis defense line, it was like a bamboo, and the defense line on the Yaqui border was torn apart like rags, and then the towns along the way fell in the wind, and Li Tianhao's army had approached the important town of Aifutans almost without blood.

Originally, the Vulture planned to use the border defense line to support it for about fifteen days, and then use the strong walls of Alfortans to make the enemy troops stop for three months, so that the second line of defense in Aswanda could delay the enemy army for about two months. For half a year, Vulture was convinced that something would change within it.

But now the other party's actions were too fast, which affected the morale of the army, and Vulture had to reconsider whether Aftans could hold out for three months. If this is not possible, the Vultures will have to readjust their deployment, activate a backup plan, and set up a third line of defense at Durbans. Although it was the intention of the Vulture to lure the enemy deeper, Durbans was not very strong in defense. The preparations that need to be made are very heavy, and the vultures will face pressure from the rear - the loss of large swathes of the country is bound to cause strong resentment from all walks of life. King Kadir appointed Vultures as commander of his entire army, and it was also a great risk to resist the invasion of Parci. In order to repay His Majesty's kindness, Vultures must win the war. At present, the army in the hands of Eagle Si is certainly on par with Li Tianhao. If you add the troops stationed in various places, it is better than the enemy army, but most of these troops are newly trained new troops, and passing the harsh training of the vultures does not mean that they can be used as freely as the battle-hardened priest army, and the vultures have a clear understanding of this.

Vulture looked at the map for a long time, and finally raised his head and said, "Order the whole army to march to Durbans!" ”

"To Durbans? You're not kidding, are you? Bius couldn't help but ask.

Bius has gained the trust of Vultures since his last counterattack on Epsmitton, and has served as his lieutenant ever since. The veteran's abilities are highly praised even by Viscount Libera, so his opinion of Vulture cannot be discarded. In fact, more than half of what Pius said was for the other generals in the tent. After all, Durbans' defense capability is not high, and as a headquarters, it is still dangerous in case of a sneak attack by enemy forces.

Vulture crooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Don't get me wrong, Lord Bius, this commander is not going to use Durbans as a command, but to sit in Durbans and establish a solid third line of defense!" ”

Bius's eyes widened: "My lord, you mean that the first two lines of defense will be"

"Not bad. The momentum of the enemy is very strong, and we have to prepare for the worst. Once Aswanda is lost, the enemy must be stopped in Durbans! ”

"I beg your pardon. Durbans has never been a major military town, and it may not be easy to hold off enemy attacks with its defensive capabilities. "Vius voiced the concerns of the generals.

Vulture nodded, "That's true, that's why we need to rush to Durbans as soon as possible to strengthen the defenses there." Of course. It was impossible to build Durbans into a fortress with this time, so the commander decided to garrison the city to hold back the enemy's footsteps, and he personally led a team of men and horses deep behind the enemy. Destroy their food routes and slow down enemy attacks. ”

"Under the arrangement can not be accepted. If you must do so, Lord Vulture is to take charge of Durbans. Go behind enemy lines to act! Bius busied.

Vultures smiled and waved his hand, "You're bothered, it's just that clinging to it doesn't suit my personality, and if you leave such a dangerous thing as going behind enemy lines to your subordinates and stay in the safe rear, then my commander is too worthless." Of course, you have to keep the fun and dangerous things to yourself. ”

Bius shook his head and sighed: Vulture is a warrior with a penchant for war, which is admirable, but as a commander, he is too adventurous. Perhaps Vulture is more suitable as a vanguard of the charge, and it is still more suitable for Libera to sit and command the whole army, although in terms of martial arts, it is obviously Libera who is more suitable to rush to the front, and the two are just the opposite in terms of the personality of the available soldiers. If these two can work together, there may be a bunch of golden partners in the Yakini Army. However, this idea will be put into practice, at least after the current battle.

The veteran still didn't give up, and said again: "My lord, aren't you afraid of being said to be an opportunity to make meritorious contributions to your subordinates?" ”

Vultures sneered and laughed, "Yes, yes, Lord Bius is right. Ben Shuai does have this suspicion, but you should also consider that you are only a priest army general, and you are young, and your reputation and achievements cannot be compared with you, so you must give you a chance to earn fame in the next point, right? ”

When Vultures said this, all the generals in the tent laughed.

Vultures stopped laughing, and said to Steus, "But there is also an important matter for you, my lord. I am not in Durbans, and it is up to you to judge when the enemy army will fall into a crisis, and although I will prevent the enemy from retreating in time, it is up to you to command the army to outflank and pursue the enemy in time to accomplish the strategic objectives of our army. ”

Bius nodded and said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will live up to my trust." I've been preparing for so long, and the eyeliner is dense everywhere, and the embarrassment of the enemy army can't hide it from us! ”

Vultures nodded meaningfully: "Yes, Ben Shuai thinks so too." Once this battle is successful, Yaki will be able to regain the upper hand. ”

At that moment, Vultures commanded the army to march quickly towards Durbans. Two days later, the army had marched to Abdus, an important town north of Durbans, which the Vultures used as a staging post for grain and forage in the rear, and then continued south.

But before he could advance to Durbans, Vulture received a piece of news that shocked everyone - Li Tianhao was leading a large army towards Aswanda! (To be continued......)
