Chapter XV: The Beginning of the War

The Kingdom of Great Britain's preparations for war were very fast, of course, this speed was relative to this era, and due to the restrictions of road traffic and information transmission, the speed of army and food build-up naturally could not be compared with modern times.

However, Great Britain has been harassed by the Saxons for so many years, and it has long had its own means of dealing with it, and everyone is familiar with it, but this time the preparations are even more huge.

As for the movement of the Saxons, how to say this, in fact, the Saxons have always been in the north of the island of Great Britain, since the Romans withdrew their troops from Great Britain, the Saxons began to slowly invade Great Britain, as for the aforementioned Saxon landing refers to the landing of the Saxon army in Great Britain.

And the movement of the Saxon army, this is true, in Europe at that time, the idea of war was realistic, low to no. In China, when almost every military strategist held a copy of "The Art of War" and "The Art of War", the war in Europe was still in the frontal period.

Although it is true that there is no shortage of examples in the history of warfare in Europe, those who did not rely on military strategy to win, but on morale, equipment and training. Of course, in the era of cold weapon warfare, this is indeed very important, but when China pays attention to these, there is another sentence in China's war, in the strategic account, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away.

So in Charles's eyes, his plan is actually all loopholes, and if he goes to China of the same era, he will definitely be played to death by the other side, and he doesn't know how to die. It's a pity that this is Europe, Europe in the early Middle Ages, and this strategy is a clever plan for the Saxons who are full of muscles.

Especially when Charles was discussing his actions in King Uther's palace, the admiring eyes from the nobles below made Charles really collapse in his heart, and he felt that bringing a second-rate military strategist from China would be able to beat everyone here. What kind of bitter plan, encircling Wei to save Zhao, striking the east and west, casually throwing a hand, the person on the opposite side will definitely be killed without resistance.

Should it be said that China has played the war out of flowers, the most peculiar thing is that when China is fighting with foreign races, it rarely plays these tricks, and it is directly pulling troops to the front, I don't know if it is because of looking down on the IQ of the other side, of course, it is when it has a big advantage, and the disadvantage is definitely dead if it is still played like this.

But when it comes to the civil war, you can go and see, those strategists and generals are basically playing tricks. A fire attack here, a water attack there, what ambushes on all sides, what hides from the sky and the sea, all kinds of tricks and tricks are thrown out without money, it is completely a chess opponent, slipping away. Sure enough, at this time, you need an opponent with a sufficient level, so that you can fight hard enough, otherwise your plan is completely acting for the blind to see, and the other side will not understand at all, so you can only lose all your pants by you in ignorance.

Talking so much, just to tell you that the European war in the era in which Charles is now is really low in his eyes, if the difficulty here is simple, the war in the Central Plains can be called hellish difficulty.

The simplest example is that when Charles asked King Uther about the movements of the Saxons on the other side, King Uther did not have to ask anyone, but casually said where the other party's army was and what it was doing. Charles asked at the time, is this news reliable, did he send spies to investigate, King Uther said very strangely, can the other side still fly, where to find someone to ask.

Okay, Charles understood at that time that when the Europeans of this era were at war, they didn't know how to hide their whereabouts at all. Unlike China, when the war is fought, there are basically a bunch of spies circling outside, and the spies have already done a good job before the big army has started.

Therefore, Charles reluctantly told King Uther that our army must send spies to probe the march of the Saxons on the opposite side at any time, and that the ambush troops must completely cover their tracks.

King Uther was still full of incomprehension at the time, and he could understand the traces of the ambush troops, but he really didn't understand why he sent spies to spy on the Saxons on the other side. But Charles didn't bother to explain, if this situation is placed in China, you are guaranteed that you don't even know when you will be surrounded by enemies.

However, he is also the king of a kingdom, and King Uther is not the kind of scum who eats and waits for death, but when he thinks of Charles's intensification, King Uther understands the role of those spies and the importance of covering up the news of his march.

As a king who was not wise but was not mediocre, King Uther called in his guards without saying a word, and issued a series of orders to the knights below, and demanded that those below must carry them out. After this incident, King Uther became more serious about Charles, and it was clear that he thought that Charles would be extremely helpful to Great Britain.

With the supplies and troops in place, the upper nobles of the Kingdom of Great Britain also began to prepare for the expedition, and the soldiers below also realized that this time they were about to face a big war, because they had never seen the kingdom gather so many troops.

When nearly 6,000 soldiers and 1,000 cavalry were gathered in the barracks outside the city, including the residents of the city, they knew that this time the king was going to make a big move, and it was no longer a painless obstruction like in previous years.

The inhabitants of the city were pleasantly surprised by this situation, and whenever King Yuser went out of the city to inspect the military camp outside the city, the inhabitants of the city would shout long live to the king of Great Britain.

Charles, who was standing beside him at that time, sighed with great emotion, perhaps King Uther was indeed not a wise and martial king, he did not have the bravery of those founding emperors, nor the wisdom of those kings who created an empire, but he was a king who always put the kingdom and its people first.

So even under the oppression of the Saxons, the lives of those civilians became more and more difficult, even if the lives of the people on the border were threatened by the settlement of some Saxons in northern Britain. They still respect the king who has done his best for the kingdom, and they may have complained and cursed in their hearts, but when they heard that the king was exhausted from dealing with the affairs of the kingdom, they would also pray for him in their hearts.

So even though King Uther's body has been getting weaker and weaker in recent years, those nobles who have different hearts still dare not move, because they don't know if the people of their territory will stab themselves in the back when they have just raised the anti-flag, they don't have the courage to gamble, because this kind of gamble winner takes all, and King Uther is still alive, and Merlin is also there, they all know that even if the situation seems to be changing in the direction they expect now, they still have to be people with their tails between their legs at the moment.

Finally, when all the armies that the nobles had promised had been assembled outside the royal city, and all the supplies had been prepared, King Uther stood up for himself, put on the armor that had not been used for many years, took out his long sword, which was still sharp, and stood in front of the army.

I'm ready to speed up the process of this copy, the first time I wrote a book, I didn't grasp the rhythm well enough, and the rhythm of this copy was a bit slow in the early stage.
