Act Fifty-Six. Under the interlude of the battlefield

Griffiths. Balmun sat upright on a chair covered in deerskin, which was originally Horace. Ekrio's position, but at this moment, is occupied by this silver-haired young man. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In front of him was a long table, on which was spread out a map of the Asterzede, which had been sent by the nobles of the enemy detailing the defensive layout of the entire Zedi Aster, in the event of a siege of Fort Lossric. In Lexington's hands, then even the legendary Ranger General Willa Hill. Strass was on the field, but he couldn't keep the Lothric Collar either.

However, there was only one copy of this map, and although the Eastern Front Legion had cartographers, it would take a lot of time to copy this elaborate map, and Griffith had kept the entire legion on a rapid march since the Misty Forest had rested, and the cartographers had not had time to make copies.

However, at this moment, it seems that there is no need to reproduce this map, because within a day, Keynzburg will fall, and Fort Lothric will not survive, and the defense line of this land will be the dust of history in less than a week, and disappear under the iron heel of Wendland.

"We still have too few artillery, otherwise this castle will be in ruins tonight."

Mura. Viscount Eric said, sitting at the long table, glass in his hand with a rich red wine, more mellow and richer than the somewhat sour local wines of Wendland, which had become more subtle in the upper class of Wendland, which had become popular since the beginning of the war.

"The 7th Panzer Division prides itself on its mobility, and the artillery can be carried to slow down the pace of the troops, but it will wipe out our greatest speed advantage, which is why Lord Akrio abandoned the artillery in the first place."

Griffith said lukewarmly, he didn't have time to drink, but looked at the map, in front of him, this small castle in the east of the Zedi, but gathered nearly 5,000 soldiers, including the Third Army of Astel and the garrison of the Kainz Command, in comparison, Wendland's numerical advantage was actually a little weak.

However, Griffiths is fortunate that the other party was deceived by traitors and was besieged by the Wendland army unsuspectingly, and it is not known what happened inside, it can only be regarded as a rabble.

"Judging from the current situation, the nails we arranged in Keynzburg should not be able to do anything more, Lord Balmunck, I wonder what your plan is?"

Galio. Viscount Crassus was still haunted by Griffith's superiority, and he asked deliberately in an attempt to embarrass the young Viscount.

"We have enough ammunition reserves, and there is no problem in breaking through the opponent's magic barrier, but the remaining ammunition should not be enough to support the fire cleaning of the entire castle, and it is too impractical to rely on supplies from the rear, so we will organize infantry to attack the city after the magic barrier collapses."

Griffith said lightly, but his heart was not as indifferent as he appeared.

Wendland's national reserves were not very large, and although there was a period of preparation before starting this war, logistics were still a big problem, and they originally expected to capture most of Aster's territory by the end of the Hidden Moon (January) at the beginning of the year, and then rely on local resources to continue the war, but it was not as originally expected.

Although the initial battle was won and the Central Army even captured the fortress of Trestan, which was known as the "Fortress of Immortality", in reality they only captured an empty city, and the remnants of the Fourth Astor Army escaped and could still pose a threat to Wendland.

Later, the Eastern Front Army was defeated by Aster's Northern Rangers in the Battle of the Misty Forest, and the lack of combat power was serious, which stretched the entire battle line, and the Western Front Army had to stop and wait for the Eastern Front Army to arrive and launch an attack on Zedi together.

Of course, Griffith didn't know that if there was no change in history, Wendland would completely annihilate the Fourth Legion of Asterle in the Trestan Fortress and capture Princess Elivels alive, and the Eastern Front Legion would not suffer such a big loss in the Misty Forest.

Of course, he didn't know that this originally predetermined fate had already been changed by the arrival of Shiloh, and even if the future battle situation was as historical, Wendland's pace would be slower by half a month, and more variables would be born.

In fact, no one could have imagined how far a butterfly's tiny wings could turn the whole history, not even Shiloh knew at this time.

"We have battering rams and ladders, but they are rarely used, and if we rely on foot soldiers, it will have to pay a considerable price."

Viscount Crassus thought to himself, not so much sorry for the lives of those foot soldiers, but only a chill at Griffith's callous speech.

"The foot soldiers were originally used to fill the ravines in the path of the knights, and if they can successfully open the gates of Keynzburg, then it doesn't matter if they sacrifice more than ten times as many infantry."

Griffith said lightly, he was not worried that the other soldiers would hear that there were only the guards of his White Lion Knights near this big tent, besides, now the morale of the soldiers was very high, one or two wanted to sacrifice their lives for the country, even if they knew that if they went to attack the city and die for the rest of their lives, the soldiers would not have much objection, but would only rush forward and fight for the so-called "honor".

If Astor is in the embryonic stage of national consciousness, then Wendland has already completed this process, and even intensified, nationalism has become the greatest weapon of politicians, used to incite the people to throw themselves into the frenzied tide of war, which not even the lower aristocracy has figured out, and only people like Griffiths, who have direct contact with Speaker Orfin, can understand this.

Lords like Viscount Crassus and Viscount Eric, although vaguely aware, still have some scruples about not controlling people's minds as wantonly as Griffith, so the tactics they designed lacked some elements.

"Keep the shelling, let the soldiers rest and recuperate, and by dawn the magic fortress of Keyinzburg should be shattered, and by that time we will first carry out three rounds of artillery bombardment to empty the garrison on the enemy's walls, and then the infantry will attack."

Griffith said, his tone full of indifference.

"Tomorrow at midnight I must see the flag of Wendland flying over the head of the castle of Keyinzburg." (To be continued.) )
