Mobilizing troops is not a matter of one sentence, especially when we are in a state of imminent war and surrounded by enemies with ill intentions, and it is all the more necessary to consider carefully when mobilizing troops stationed in a region. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Reducing the garrison is equivalent to a decline in the defensive strength of the region, losing the ability to attack strategically, and even becoming difficult to defend, and for the enemy, it is equal to a suitable time to attack, which is equal to a godsend, and it is not impossible for an enemy with a short temper to directly choose to go to war and attack.

As for the current situation on Dayinpan Island, the garrison of the city wall of Cape Town, the garrison of the fortress in the middle of the lake in the Swamp, and the garrison of the silver mine all need to be left behind.

And it is worth noting that on the north bank of the Yuqiao River, many self-cultivated farms that have become agricultural bases also need to leave some troops for garrison, and it is indeed not a good strategy to rashly withdraw some troops.

Levi couldn't do this, but he knew how greedy the nobles of Grey Mist City or the pirates of Crash Bay were for their Cape Town, and wanted to show their weak side in front of them, or the final result was to take advantage of the emptiness of their defenses and directly attack together.

It is impossible for them to have no contact, even if it is impossible to form a coalition army, after all, the merchants of the North Trumming Sea can trade at the *** mouth of Crash Bay, and there is no dark transaction behind it, so it is not credible to think about it.

If the garrison is hastily reduced and the enemy really chooses to attack, it will be a troublesome matter.

The main force that is attacking the Castle of the Dead, it is impossible to evacuate rashly, it can only enter the stalemate stage, even if a small number of troops are withdrawn and choose a defensive posture, it is impossible to form a force advantage to rescue Cape Town and various key points, which is almost at a loss and quite a difficult situation.

Therefore, Levi also planned to mobilize as few troops as possible in the garrison area, but chose to use the golden finger and use his ability to come to this world to quickly gather troops!

The game system needs energy points, as long as there is this kind of thing, then easily, a main force will be formed, although it is not possible to understand the world as well as the previous troops, but there is no problem with conventional combat, it is a standard combat unit.

The night passed like this, and Cape Town seemed to have regained its calm, and in the distant sea, the sinking pirate ship also disappeared due to the blowing of the sea breeze.

The rolling waves crashed against the beach, and there were still a few fragments of corpses and fragments of wooden planks, washed up by the waves, which were quite conspicuously displayed on the beach, and also showed the fierce fighting of yesterday, a violent clash between Cape Town and Crash Bay.

But no one cared, or the many bloodthirsty sharks still wandering in the sea, still reminiscing about yesterday's hearty food, but after all, the wind and waves were calm, and they could only boredly use their tail fins to make a little waves.

"Yesterday's results of our army's battle against the enemy, roughly estimated to be more than 500 people."

Hall, as the Minister of the Navy, who was in charge of the war yesterday, had also counted the current results of the battle and reported to Levi: "Three enemy warships were sunk and at least six enemy warships were seriously damaged. ”

In the conference hall, Levi also frowned slightly, listening to Hall's introduction, but his face was also a little lighter, because the conclusion he got was that his troops had very few casualties.

After all, it is a modern navy, all gunboats equipped with artillery, and they will not engage the enemy stupidly at close range, not to mention the Galen galleon, an armed merchant ship of the king class, with a larger caliber and more artillery, just like a giant beast spitting flames and death.

"That's good."

Nodding, Levi turned his head to look at Wilmot next to him with satisfaction, and asked his Minister of War, "How is the situation over there?" ”

"The casualties of our army are mainly concentrated on the north bank of the Yuqiao River, and hand-to-hand combat with that group of pirates took place."

Wilmot continued: "We lost 34 Barbary pirates, 16 were seriously wounded, 48 were lightly wounded, and the number of enemies killed was counted at 462, leaving no prisoners. ”

The frantic attack of the Barbary pirates collapsed the morale of the pirates in Crash Bay in the shortest possible time, but because it was a melee class, it was inevitable that they would be hurt in close combat, but at the cost of only a hundred casualties, they killed nearly five hundred pirates, which was enough to prove their strength.

After all, this is a victorious battle, and Levi also nodded secretly, expressing satisfaction with this, if even this is not acceptable, then it is too harsh.

"What's the law and order situation in Cape Town?"

Turning his head to look at the other minister in the conference room, Li Wei also nodded and asked, "During this time, have those friends of ours made any unusual moves?" ”

"Everything is calm." Gasquel replied, very solemnly: "Except for a lot of mercenaries and patrols that have contacted us, the other merchants and some guys are very quiet, but according to the reports of the Spanish citizens we have placed among them, they are all planning to leave. ”

"Leave? Heh, they're definitely leaving. ”

On the side, Green also nodded, snorted with a cold face, and said lightly: "They don't want to be buried with us." ”

But Levi's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "But, what do those mercenaries mean?" ”

"They want to join our Cape Town army at three times the cost of a regular mercenary, and promise not to drop their weapons and flee when the Crash Bay pirates arrive." Gaskell shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's it, their exact words. ”

However, as his voice fell, there was a mocking chuckle in the room, all of whom were seasoned cabinet ministers, and of course knew what was true and what was false.

The current Cape Town is not in a desperate situation, and will listen to anything, a group of mercenaries who can even sell their lives to others for money, they will not really work hard at a critical time, unless it is a tailwind war, once it involves headwinds and predicaments, it is the best result to run away first.

More often than not, these mercenaries, who can sell everything for money, will take the initiative to contact the enemy and ask how much the bid is, as long as the psychological expectations are met, direct surrender or mutiny are very likely.

"Let the mercenaries keep drinking their ale."

Wilmot snorted coldly, as the Minister of War, what he needed was a strictly disciplined army, even if a mercenary joined his troops, he was unwilling to accept it, because it was tantamount to mixing in rat!

A group of people didn't mean to make contact with these mercenaries, but Levi looked at the Chancellor of the Exchequer next to him and asked, "How many businessmen have not left in the southern district of Haijiao Town now?" ”

"There are less than a dozen people, all on the sidelines."

Thor's face was solemn, and he replied with a frown: "If we continue like this, our trade will be completely finished, because there are no merchant ships coming to the dock, which means that our trade partners have been lost, and sooner or later we will fall into a dead circle of trade collapse." ”

Green also nodded, "Unless the pirate threat in Crash Bay is reduced, those merchants of Grey Mist City will definitely not take the risk of coming to our Cape Town to trade." ”

But as Green spoke, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and he was a little stunned, and then looked at Levi and said, "Wait, Your Majesty, we seem to have forgotten one thing, why are we just thinking about going along the coast and Grey Mist City to trade, we don't need to do this at all!" ”

"Huh?" Li Wei and the other cabinet ministers were also slightly stunned, and then reacted, and one by one they all widened their eyes, looked at each other, and also showed a helpless wry smile.

Green's words almost made them suddenly realize, because the route from Cape Town to Grey Mist City was not just the eastern coast of Big Silver Plate Island, and now they also controlled another route, although they had almost never used it, but it could never be said that this route was useless!

The Fishbridge River to the Everglades and then to the Ketuf River, a great route connecting Grey Mist and Samar City!

This route has been controlled by Levi, although it is in the area of military blockade, but as long as Levi reactivates this route, then a steady stream of supplies will still appear in the market of Cape Town, and it will not enter a depressed winter like now.

"Tentatively reach out to Grey Mist City and ask about the Fishbridge River route." Squinting his eyes slightly, Levi also said to Green next to him: "And Samar City, it's best to step up trade." ”

In the original Gray Mist City's defeated treaty, there were two cities that opened their trade, although Levi only opened trade with Gray Mist City, Samar City's trade has always been closed because of the Swamp's Mid-Lake Island fortress, which is in a closed state, in order to prevent the many nobles of Gray Mist City from figuring out the reality of the Swamp.

But at present, the conquest of the undead plane is imminent, and the trade route of the Yuqiao River must also be put on the agenda as soon as possible, only after having trade, Cape Town can resume good trade and avoid falling into a useless dead loop.

"Everything is ready, tomorrow we march to the undead plane."

Looking at the cabinet ministers in the conference room, Levi also exhaled a long breath and said to them in a deep voice: "Don't let anything happen during the battle, even if you suffer losses, you must be patient." ”

"Understood!" The ministers of the conference room replied in unison.

As long as he captures the undead castle on the undead plane and obtains a large amount of energy value, Levi's strength will not be limited to the current embarrassment, and even if he is the enemy of the whole world, it is estimated that he will be able to break through the sky, this is his self-confidence!
