Chapter 347: Plans and Requirements

"Crusade plan?"

"Well, the kingdom plans to attack from the Dragon's Breath Pass in three ways, and the five dragon knights of the Zhenguo Kingdom, including me, will be dispatched at the same time, and the iron cavalry of the Ross family in the Western Realm will also join the battle."

"Three-way troops?"

In fact, if you can, most of the generals are not willing to divide the troops, but after the number of troops, the terrain of the supply water along the way will become a factor that restricts the movement of the army, and the troops have to be divided into several routes.

The key to the success or failure of the division of troops lies in the liaison and cooperation between the various armies; if the quality of the troops is excellent and the coordination is close, the enemy's various operations will become an opportunity to encircle and annihilate the enemy's troops.

Richard was only puzzled by the specific role he needed to play in the kingdom's crusade plan, he definitely wanted the river valley, the land was fertile and densely populated, for the kingdom with the entire Central Great Plains and the southern provinces, this may be just a jelly bean, but for Richard, this is definitely a big mouthful of fat, originally he didn't take it just to take into account the attitude of the kingdom, for fear of stepping on Wren's bottom line, but since Wren took it out to negotiate conditions, then he had no reason to refuse.

It's just that the Eastern Crusade can help humans fight orcs, which is what he should do as a human being, but if Wren wants to use a river valley to frame him Richard as cannon fodder, it won't work.

"The main goal of this operation is to break through the large camp set up by the orcs in front of the Dragon's Breath Pass, and destroy the materials that the orcs have hoarded for attacking the Dragon's Breath Pass.

"So what do I need to do?"

"You lead the Northern Route Army, starting from the north gate of Longxi Pass, all the way to the east, after breaking through the defense line of the Orcs in the northern Heard Mountains, you can act on your own, whether it is to outflank the main force of the Orcs in the middle in the south, or to continue to destroy in depth, it is your freedom."

Richard also probably understood what was going on, in fact, most of the wars of this level were for stability, fighting a dignified and upright, it was impossible to say that the orcs were defenseless at all, this could only be regarded as a desperate action of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.

Remain motionless and wait for the dragon to die slowly after it leaves, or fight and ride the dragon still around, and do your best to buy more time to prepare.

Yes, it's just a preparation time, even if the kingdom wins this big victory, it can only play a role in slowing down the pace of the orc's attack, human beings no longer have the power that can completely destroy the orcs five hundred years ago, without the deterrence of the golden dragon, the orcs will sooner or later ease their breath and continue to attack the human race.

And in this Eastern Crusade Campaign, the protagonist is still the middle route army, although it is a division of troops, but there is still a focus, the five dragon knights and elite forces should be concentrated in the middle route, and the northern route army led by Richard needs to play more of a diversion role.

The Northern Route Army has no combat goals, and there is no need to have, as long as the breakthrough in the northern mountains is completed, Richard can have the ability to stir up the war situation, if the situation is suitable, Richard chooses to go south and join forces with the Middle Route Army, if the situation does not allow, then Richard leads the Northern Route Army to continue to go deeper, and it can also contain a large number of orcs' living forces, delay the speed of orc support, and think that the purpose of the Southern Route Army should be similar to Richard.

This matter turned around in Richard's mind, to be honest, it was a bit dangerous, no matter how Richard chose to lead his army to break through the orc north road, it was a situation of going deep behind enemy lines. It's no wonder that Wren is willing to directly carve out the river valley for Richard to send troops, this potato is a bit hot.

"How many people do I need to dispatch?"

If from the perspective of extreme self-interest, Richard can actually choose to refuse, even if he refuses, the kingdom can't do anything about him, wait for a year and a half, after the orcs begin to attack the Dragon Breath Pass, when the kingdom's power is all contained, he will send troops to take the river valley, there is no risk at all, but this operation is simply a traitor, and Richard will not be so bottomless.

"The army of the Northland does not need to be mobilized, continue to guard against the snow field, you and the four dragons, as well as those knights who appeared on the battlefield, the Dragon Breath Pass will transfer 100,000 elites to your men, they will be the main force of the Northern Route Army."

To be honest, although the army in the north can fight, but after putting it on the large meat grinder in Longxi Pass, the 100,000 army of the Hunter family is really not enough, and now there are more than three million regular troops in Longxi Pass plus the surrounding regular army, all of which are elite with qualified combat effectiveness, and fortunately, Longxi Pass is backed by the huge grain-producing area of the Central Great Plains, otherwise the three million army, plus the same large number of auxiliary soldiers, can drag down the supply line.

In the eyes of Thor and Wren, the 100,000 or so troops of the Hunter family are not as important as the 300,000 iron cavalry in the west. What they value more is the few dragons in Richard's hands and the inexplicable strong people around him.

Thor is asking for the four dragons and the champion knights, these high-end powers that are already being discovered by the Black Prison.

"Will there be fewer 100,000 people in the Northern Route Army?"

Richard was already thinking about it in his heart at this time, it was not impossible for him to command the Northern Route Army to go out, there was teleportation, he would not appear in the embarrassment of being surrounded by orcs behind enemy lines, and in the case that he could not do anything, he would not have any mental pressure to escape with teleportation after trying his best.

But after all, there is a large army all the way, and 100,000 people seem to be a little less.

"The terrain of the north road is not suitable for the movement of the army, it is mountainous, even these 100,000 people, there are a bit of a lot, and the garrison of the orcs over there will not be too much, 100,000 people with the dragon in your hand is enough to complete the breakthrough."

After Saul explained to Richard, Richard understood the basic situation, and now the two fell silent, and Saul stared at Richard again, waiting for him to make a decision.

After a long time, Richard raised his head and replied:

"The Hunter family, willing to contribute to the kingdom."

Thor nodded with satisfaction, Richard is a strange soldier in the plan, although the Northern Route Army is small, but it is also a key in the plan, without the Northern Route Army copying, Thor himself knows that it is difficult to break through the middle line of the orcs by relying on the Middle Route Army alone.

Now that Richard has led the Northern Route Army with his men with strong individual strength and four dragons, the success rate of the plan has greatly increased.

"Then I'll go first, and I'll read the order from you as the guardian of the valley to the city of Bolai."

"Thank you, Lord Thor, and please stop by for a moment, I've already had someone prepare a dinner."

"No, the matter is urgent, I can't leave the royal capital for too long."

"Then I have one more request, and I hope that Lord Thor will fulfill it."

"What request?"

"I hope to have a good time with Lord Thor's companion, Aso."

"You want to challenge Asso?"

Saul didn't understand Richard's purpose for a while, how this person was inexplicably involved with his golden dragon.

"I'm in a hurry."

It didn't make sense to think about it, and Saul simply declined Richard's request, but Richard was not interested, and continued:

"I will bring more than two hundred knights with me to participate in the battle of the Northern Route Army."

Saul: "My time is suddenly less tight. ”
