From north to south, the Luo River flows from narrow to wide, from turbulent to gentle, and flows to the lower reaches of Tulga, and the Luo River is no longer an insurmountable natural hazard. The water depth is only two or three meters, and it is easy to build a pontoon bridge.

George VI's army moved quickly, but it still hit a nail in the coffin in front of the Luo River. Since he had never met an opponent who had shamelessly torn down the bridge to stop the march like Allen, George VI only now began to gather materials and prepare for the construction of a pontoon bridge.

Alan put down the binoculars in his hand and said to Guy beside him: "In the future, we will build a special working force, and we must have the ability to build bridges in the mountains and rivers." Otherwise, like them, I don't know how many fighters will be delayed. ”

Guy on the side nodded in agreement and said, "What the Duke said makes sense." Then he changed his mind and said, "Do you want the archers to harass them and prevent them from crossing the river?"

Alan thought quietly for a moment, and finally rejected the tempting suggestion.

"Nope. Let them please. It is the so-called half-crossing attack. Guy, you go upstream and prepare the fuel and boats for the fire, and when they cross half the army, go down the river and burn his pontoon!"

"Obey the Duke!"

Alan nodded, turning his head to look at the ground worriedly.

The muddy tidal flats in the imagination are not as soft as imagined under the sun for several days. If you can't rely on the terrain to limit the opponent's cavalry, although Allen's soldiers are strong in combat, they still can't fight against an army of 50,000.

According to Ambush's own situation, George VI's army of 50,000 also had at least 5,000 heavily armed knights. As long as there are two thousand heavily armored knights, Alan can put a lot of pressure on him, let alone five thousand knights.

Alan sighed, and could only bless the heavy rain in the past two days. Otherwise, Eren is bound to have a bloody battle.

"Guderian. Are your cavalry ready?" Alan looked at Guderian beside him, although the entire battlefield was vast, there were not many hidden locations. And Guderian's ranger cavalry is not suitable for fighting with heavy knights, so the only option is to engage in a sneak attack.

Guderian said with a serious face: "Lord Duke, if you want to attack the opponent's flank from the side, I'm afraid that concealment is a problem, although the battlefield is wide, it can't be concealed, and it is easy to be targeted by the other party."

Alan thought about it for a while, the opponent's military strength was several times greater than his own, and he had enough troops to deal with his own attack, and unless he could be taken by surprise, it was unlikely to succeed.

"In that case, you ......," said Alan, who suddenly stopped. In fact, it is not a question at all where the battlefield is. With the high discipline of his own army, is it possible to try to lure the enemy into the depths at once?

Thinking of this, Alan quickly took a map of Tulca from Guderian's hand.

Yes, although it is a tidal flat along the Luo River, there is a small town about three or two kilometers further to Tulga. Even better, there is a wonderful wooded area on the south side of the town.

Is it feasible if I rely on small towns for positional warfare?

The defensive ability of the Essis phalanx infantry is first-class, as long as they block the various intersections of the town, relying on the blocking of the town's buildings, they can reduce the enemy's heavy cavalry charge to the greatest extent. As long as the opponent's heavy cavalry is abolished, the infantry duel will be absolutely victorious.

The more Alan thought about it, the more feasible he felt, so he immediately gave orders to his generals.

"Alexander, you and the Assis phalanx immediately withdraw the horse trap that was originally arranged, and then retreat to the town to the west, where you will redeploy."

"Lord Duke, but in this case, it may be too late, and there is no way to fully prepare for it." Alexander said worriedly, although he didn't know what Allen's plan was, but Allen's orders he had to obey.

Alan said calmly: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can arm the town and hold the gaps."

"Yes! Lord Duke. ”

"Guderian, come and see." Alan took the map in front of everyone, pointed to the woods on the south side of the town and said to Guderian, "You take your ranger cavalry to ambush in this wood, and when my signal arrives, you will lead people to attack the opponent's flank."

"Leon, you and Hannibal are preparing to be on the north side of the town with heavy cavalry. If the opposing heavy cavalry charges you, take them around to the east side of the town, and I will send troops to support you. Alan looked intently at the map, thinking about the tactical arrangements for each step.

"Augustus, you and Leonardo follow me, and I'll give you another order when the time comes."

"As for Robin Hood, you go and harass them to cross the river later, and when Guy and the men burn the pontoon, you retreat back into town. Remember, occupy the commanding heights of the town, such as the clock tower, the church, etc. ”

"Yes! Lord Duke!" Everyone understood Alan's intentions. It turns out that this is not the main battlefield yet, but just a first-hand encounter, and the real big war is yet to come.

Everyone was quick to act, and Alan was not idle, he led the guards straight to the edge of the Luo River. It was just over a hundred meters from George VI's army on the opposite side.

"Lord Duke, please don't move forward, it's almost within the range of the opponent's bow and arrow." The guard next to him reminded.

Alan stopped when he heard this, George VI's army, like the army of the barbarians, was nothing special.

"Anyway, where is the other party's elite Roland Knight?" Alan muttered to himself as he surveyed George VI's army.

"Since it's the killer weapon of the Rollin Kingdom, how can it be so easy for you to see."

Alan looked at LeBlan, who suddenly appeared beside him, speechlessly, and said helplessly: "Didn't I tell you not to appear so suddenly?"

LeBlanc didn't care about Allen's complaint and said, "We're just a partnership, I can listen to it if I want to, and I don't want to hear what you can do with me?"

"Don't talk about that, I'm here to tell you something." LeBlanc is in color.

Alan looked at LeBlanc's suddenly serious expression and couldn't help but say seriously, "What?"

"Your opponent isn't just George VI this time. There's also a guy named John to be aware of, he's not easy to deal with. LeBlanc reminded Alan Dao. From LeBlanc's tone, Alan heard the meaning of the words.

"You mean that guy named John is also ......"

"That's right, he's a magician, too." LeBlanc nodded and continued, "And he's a very mysterious faction of our magicians, the astrologer."

Alan touched his chin thoughtfully and said, "Astrologer? Isn't it the kind of guy who touches the tarot cards to predict the good and bad marriage?"

LeBlanc rolled her eyes, as if she didn't give a damn about what Alan had said.

"That's just the lowest level of astrological knowledge to fool people. A true astrologer can see through the past and the future, from the life and death of a person to the development trend of the entire El Continent. Astrologers are in control. LeBlanc spoke in a quiet tone, as if the name astrologer needed to be mentioned.

"So god?!" Alan asked, dumbfounded. If the astrologer is so good, how can he fight this battle, this is the rhythm of defeat before fighting.

Aha! LeBlanc laughed at Allen's surprised expression. "You believe this, I lied to you. Look at your eyes, they're about to pop out. In fact, the so-called astrologers are nothing more than a bunch of crazy people who talk about gods, compared to the madmen of the church. ”

Alan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at LeBlanc coldly and said, "Based on what you just said, I can convict you of disturbing the army's heart!"

LeBlanc waved his hand and said, "You should leave these words to your men, I'm leaving." Anyway, just disappear.

Although LeBlanc was so out of tune, she came over to remind herself that it was enough to see that John was a threat.

"Let's go back." Alan quietly surveyed George VI's army across for a moment before returning to his camp with the guards.
