Botrecott himself was not a man skilled in military affairs, and his ability was more reflected in the control of the battle situation than in personally leading the army to the battlefield; He was able to be entrusted with a heavy task by Charles VII, which can be regarded as a kind of helplessness in the lack of talent in Spain.

Rather than commanding an army, Botrecott himself preferred to stand far away from the battlefield and give advice; Unfortunately, under the premise that the Kingdom of Spain did not have talents worthy of the task, Botrecott had to choose to stand at the forefront of the battlefield.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Botrecott is still a relatively enlightened man, and his promotion of capable generals is fairly fair; Of course, the fairness here is only relative to the system of sanguinity officials within the Kingdom of Spain.

Under the command of Botricott, the highest-ranking civilian general to be promoted should be the infantry general of the Botrikot Legion, Edota; He was also an ordinary civilian, but he sat in the position of a general who commanded 4,000 Spanish fanatical soldiers, which is also commendable.

Although his position is not fair compared to General Oghuz, whose merits are far inferior to him, but whose status is higher than him; However, thinking about the children of civilians who could not reach the position of general no matter how hard they tried, his heart was still full of gratitude to Botricott.

In other words, the general Oghuz in the Botricott regiment was the general under Botrikot, who was responsible for commanding 6,000 shield soldiers and 2,000 bull soldiers; His background can be regarded as a real high-blood nobleman.

Oghuz's father was one of the highest-ranking nobles in the Kingdom of Spain, and his mother was a member of the side branch of the royal family; Coupled with the fact that he still has some abilities himself, it is naturally impossible for Botracott not to reuse him.

Edota and Oguz were the two most important generals under Botricott; Of the fifteen thousand elite troops of Botricott, 8,000 were commanded by Oghuz and 4,000 by Edotta, and he himself only led 3,000 long shield cavalry.

In fact, the performances of these two generals never disappointed Bautracott; Whether it is the calm and powerful Oghuz or the fierce and brave Edota are the right-hand men of the army led by Botricott, and they are also the people whom Botricott relies on as his confidants.

Since the 35,000-strong army of three legions led by Botrakot was stationed in the southern border area, in order to prevent the Augustus army in the province of Betica from discovering the arrival of his army, Botrecott deliberately took the method of reducing the size of the military camp.

Originally, the Kingdom of Spain stationed about 10,000 troops in the border area with the Augustus family, and the size of the military camp was also built according to the standard of 15,000 troops; On the other hand, the Augustan family was stationed in a standard regular legion.

After the Kingdom of Spain decided to wage war against the House of Augustus, detailed information about the garrison of the House of Augustus in the province of Betica was continuously collected and passed on to the hands of the Spanish Kingdom intelligence officers.

Based on this information, Botricott learned that the Augustus family had only two legions of 20,000 troops before the province of Betica, and their legions were numbered the Third Augustan Legion and the Fifth Augustan Legion.

Later, long after the Battle of Zama, the Augustus family reinforced a fully equipped Fourth Augustan Legion; In this way, the Augustus army in Betica Province had three legions and 30,000 elite troops.

Botracott knew that the fighting power of the regular legions of the Augustus family was still very strong; How the garrison left by the Hannibal family in the province of Betica was defeated by the army of the Augustan family, Botricott also knows in detail.

The House of Augustus, with such a strong military force, was hardly something that the forty-five thousand troops of the Kingdom of Spain could deal with; However, Botrecott also learned that the three legions of the House of Augustus were fighting on their own.

Although the House of Augustus stationed three powerful legions in the province of Betica, they did not have a unified commander for the three legions; Once the war broke out, it would be enough to become the weakness of the army of the Kingdom of Spain to break through the armies of the House of Augustus one by one!

In addition to this extremely gratifying information, Beautricott also made a detailed understanding of the deployment of the three legions of the Augustus family; The three legions of the House of Augustus were not grouped together, but were stationed in three separate places.

Among them, the 3rd Army, which was the most high-numbered, was stationed in the southern border area of the Botricott Army; The Fifth Legion, the last of the numbers, was stationed in the border area between the province of Betica and the province of Iberia in the Kingdom of Spain.

As for the newly recruited Fourth Legion, they remained in the port area of Betica and did not officially enter the province of Betica; Such a situation was undoubtedly extremely advantageous for the Kingdom of Spain.

In Botricott's view, as long as his own army could seize the opportunity, it would attack the province of Betica from the south and west at the same time; Exaca's army succeeded in pinning down the Augustus' Fifth Army on the Western Front.

Then, his army of 35,000 attacked the unsuspecting Third Legion of House Augustus as a tiger descended from the mountain; Do everything you can to annihilate the Third Legion of House Augustus in one fell swoop!

After that, the main army of his side was divided into two, one continuing to march towards the hinterland of the province of Betica, and the other quickly rushing to the aid of Axaka's army; From the rear of the 5th Legion of the House of Augustus, an attack was launched on it.

In this way, the Fifth Legion of the Augustan family, which was under attack from both sides, would definitely not escape the fate of annihilation; After completing the war of annihilation of these two legions, the last remaining fourth legion of the Augustus family is still a trapped beast.

This is the strategic layout of Bautricott, in order to achieve this strategic goal, but also to paralyze the third legion of the Augustus family opposite; Botrakot only placed Tekomin's First Army and Gazka's Second Army in the barracks, and his own army of 15,000 was hidden by Botrecott in the dense forest behind the barracks.

Even the 20,000 troops stationed in the barracks were strictly ordered by Botrekot not to expose their actual strength; In order to achieve this, Bautracott did not even allow the soldiers of the two legions to go out of the tents at will, and it was necessary to create the illusion that there were only 10,000 men in the barracks.

Needless to say, Bautracot achieved his intended purpose; The Third Legion of the Augustus family opposite the Spanish barracks, from the commander of the legion to the patrolling cavalry, did not find the 20,000 troops in the Spanish barracks.

After four days of anxious sitting in the barracks himself, Charles VII's order to go to war finally came! In order to coordinate the timing of the attack of the main army and the feint army, Botrecott set the time for the attack on the whole front three days later.

In addition to sending a swift herald to Exsaka, Botrecott began to plan the attack of his main army; The strength of the Augustan army was the large number of hoplites and the powerful equipment of the army.

The advantage of the army of the Kingdom of Spain lies in the size of the cavalry force and the advantage of the total strength; In order to make better use of his own advantages and avoid the advantages of the Augustus army, Botrecott set the time for the attack in the early morning.

Because in the early hours of the morning, before dawn, the Augustus army's armament could not be put into battle at all; In addition, this is a battle of the Spanish army's sneak attack against the Augustus family's army, so it is natural to choose the most suitable time for the sneak attack.

For anyone, the wee hours of the morning are the sleepiest hours of the day; The army of the House of Augustus, except for a very small number of patrol guards, the rest of the main army will also fall asleep at this time.

At that time, it was the time when the Augustan family's military camp was the weakest, and the Augustus family's army was the lowest in combat, and it was also the most suitable time for the Spanish army to sneak attack; Botricott chose this moment to attack!

Three days passed quickly; Before the fourth day arrived, Botracott ordered all the soldiers of his three legions to rest during the day on the third day, so as to keep their spirits high in the rest of the battle.

The soldiers of the Augustan family still did not notice anything unusual in the Spanish military camp; In other words, the attention of the entire Augustan family was not focused on the weak kingdom of Spain, they only regarded each other as a weak neighbor.

Late at night on the fourth day, when the time was still three hours before sunrise, Beautricott's fifteen-thousand-strong army had all come out of the dense forest; And the 20,000 troops in the barracks have already lined up in a neat battle formation, waiting for Botricott's order.

Immediately after uniting the armies of the three legions, Botrecott began to give orders for his own battles; General Edota of the Beautricott Regiment was ordered to lead four thousand Spanish fanatics as the vanguard of the army and spearhead the attack on the Augustan camp.

Tecomin's First Army was to attack from the left flank of the Augustus camp as soon as Edota attacked; Gezka's Second Legion immediately attacked from the right flank of the Augustus Legion.

Before the attack began, the 3,000 shield cavalry under the command of Botracott would be tasked with opening the way to annihilate the patrol guards sent by the House of Augustus; After completing this task, the cavalry will bypass the Augustus camp and go to the rear of the camp to ambush them, and once the Augustus army chooses to retreat from the rear, the task of these cavalry is to stop the retreat of the Augustus army.

In the end, the remaining 8,000 elite infantry led by Oghuz will be the reserve force in the hands of Botricott; As soon as your own army breaks through the Augustus camp, Bautracott will immediately send reinforcements to expand the victory! (To be continued.) )
