Chapter 895: Approaching
"Just call me Essien, both Kardashian and Iskar have a high opinion of you. β
Essien has always been mute on weekdays, but today he said a lot, he politely greeted Roddy, he glanced back at Earl Moore, stretched out his wings without any expression, and went straight to the sky...
Crystal Dragon?
Moore immediately realized that there was something extraordinary behind this, didn't the royal family work with all the dragons, and why did the crystal dragon appear in Roddy's tent at this time?
"Count Moore, we have finally met. β
After seeing him, Luo Di also had some inexplicable emotions in his heart, after all, the other party is also a very powerful military strategist in his memory, and the most important thing is that he is not a dead noble, when he has absolute strength, this kind of person can be used with confidence - Luo Di does not feel that he has any "grand strategy", he has experience and vision beyond the times, and Earl Moore is a typical military genius, this kind of natural strategist can quickly integrate and create remarkable results.
Sodrore can only be described as an "excellent" general at the moment, he is still young and needs to be sharpened by war to grow. Moore, on the other hand, is a proven commander, and Roddy will not stop at the small place of the Cullen Kingdom in the future, and there are ready-made talents, of course he will strive for them.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister. β
Moore saluted in a proper manner, and Roddy accepted the other party's allegiance and statement, and then did not take a big deal, and directly invited the other party into the camp.
As soon as he entered the tent, the simple furnishings around him made Moore feel a little emotional, the barracks is not divided into living rooms and bedrooms, the marching bed placed here should be Roddy's "bedroom", and the sand table and stack of manuscripts next to it indicate that military meetings should also be held here on weekdays.
From this alone, he realized that Roddy and Charles II, who loved luxury, were completely two worlds.
"I would like to invite you, Count Moore, to be a member of my staff, this war should be over soon, but in the future, Evta's footsteps will certainly not stop here, and I hope that the next road of conquest can be smoother with your help. β
Roddy didn't hide his selfishness either, and expressed his thoughts bluntly. Moore was a little stunned by thisβhe wondered how he could help Roddy conquer the Cullen royal family, but the phrase "the war is about to end" was over?
Thinking about conquering more territory now? Isn't that a bit of a stretch?
This effect was naturally deliberately created by Roddy, and without explaining too much, he directly picked up a stack of sorted materials from the table next to him and handed it over: "Count Moore is good at military warfare, and he also has a lot of research on weapons and equipment, these things are what I am about to apply in the next decisive battle, you can take a look at it, and then give advice." β
Earl Moore tensed slightly, he understood that this question was actually a test of his own ability. Respectfully taking the stack of papers, Moore read it carefully - but after reading the "hedron artillery", "reconnaissance plane", "transport plane", "truck" and "road" and other information, he finally understood why Roddy had the confidence he had now...
Originally, he was thinking about how to use his talents and rely on his own strategic outlook to "teach the young prime minister" a lesson, but now he can only sigh in a low voice: "Your Excellency, with all due respect, in this case... Unless the dragons are determined to fight, I can't think of any chance of defeat. β
Moore said this in a bit of a lonely way, because he had studied warfare all his life, and now found that he had been left far behind... The sudden feeling of emptiness hit him really hard.
This is actually Roddy's real "dismount" - exposing a few used hole cards to deter Moore and make him understand that he is not "indispensable", so that he can use this young old nobleman more confidently in the future.
Although Luo Di has not studied the emperor's mental arts, his years of conquest and vision after being in a high position are no longer comparable to the original otaku. Compared to Ivota's current huge and bloated administrative body, Elson's team is actually the core layer that he really intends to operate.
"The dragons are likely to go to war, but we're not unprepared. All we have to do now is to wait patiently for the time to go to war. β
As he spoke, he pulled out the image of the enemy that Falcon had taken an hour earlier, "Within two days, three days at the latest." β
Moore looked at the picture taken from a high altitude, where the long army and the wooden chariot pulled in the middle were clearly visible, and even the commander and the personal guard in the center of the team were clear - at any time, "information asymmetry" would bring a huge advantage, and he now knew very well that Roddy's clarity about this war was actually no different from observing the sand table...
At this moment, he was extremely glad that he had chosen to surrender. If he was to command the royal army, Moore would have had a few countermeasures in his mind before, but now that he took it out and looked at it, he found that his little trick would not be able to go through a round in the face of this absolute crushing advantage...
But... Will the dragons really sit idly by?
May 24th.
Two kilometers outside the city of Enrique.
The road in Evta had actually been repaired here long ago, and the troops who arrived later had set up a regular camp under the arrangement of the engineering company, and unlike the previous battle, this time, they also planned a large area of trenches on this battlefield.
There is such a thing as a "trench" as never before in the current era, and in the past the army would occasionally dig "reverse trenches", with a ditch in front and a trench in the back, in order to prevent the enemy's cavalry from directly leveling the camp. But the Ivota soldiers apparently didn't get anything like that, for they didn't have any fear of being charged by the cavalry.
The area where the barracks are located is on higher ground, and there will be a gentle downward slope from here to Enrique City, and when you reach the place five hundred meters in front of Enrique City, it will become a gentle uphill slope, and there is a moat in this city, which is definitely "easy to defend and difficult to attack" - but it has been three days since the military camp was built, and only the scout team of the Dragoon Regiment occasionally went back to the front of the city to hang around, and the rest of the time no one paid attention to the trembling defenders on the city wall.
Because until this time, the large army from the imperial city was still on the way, and there were more than a thousand soldiers in the city, and the Viscount Tales, who defended the city, stayed on the city wall for five days in fear, but the enemy seemed to be completely lazy to attack the city, so he set up camp there unhurriedly, which made him really a little puzzled...
After all, under normal circumstances, taking advantage of the small number of defenders and low morale, the city should be captured in one go, so why should the other party leave time for himself to wait for reinforcements?
Of course, he didn't know that Sodrore had already chosen the battlefield.
Stepping out of the command post, Sodrol rode his horse around the camp as usual. At this moment, the soldiers were still digging trenches in the division of labor, and in the combat area in front of the barracks, the parked double-barreled hedron gun carriages spread out in two rows horizontally, but at this time they were covered by fishing nets hung with camouflage cloth strips, and from a distance they looked like rows of messy mounds.
And in front of the gun carriage were hundreds of trebuchets transported from the rear by trucks. This kind of thing is completely "antique" in Evta's war machine, but this time Evta can be said to have put all the resources on the front line, not to mention trebuchets, and the spare armor and weapons alone are piled up in the camp. The food and water supply for the soldiers is almost as abundant as when they were trained in Parl, and the daily consumption of meat, bread, and eggs is calculated by trucks, and even if the soldiers do not have a combat mission, digging trenches all day is enough to consume physical strength, so Sodrol is not at all bad in terms of food, and the daily lunch is full of meat, and the group of soldiers who eat red are completely opposite to those yellow-skinned prisoners of war.
Walking along the artillery carriage position, the atmosphere before the war made the soldiers very serious, but they had already experienced the actual combat and had a little more calmness that they had never had before the battle. Satisfied, Sodrore looked north, where trucks were bringing supplies and more soldiers to the camp, and Falcon reconnaissance planes were slowly streaking across the sky.
"Commander!
A soldier rushed over with a red envelope, and Sodrore was a little surprised that there would be an urgent message at this time, so he immediately tore open it and read the letter. After that, he went straight back to the central camp, gathered his staff, and put the information on the table: "The speed of the royal and noble army movements suddenly accelerated, and the reconnaissance report and the intelligence bureau gave evidence and analysis to prove that a large number of mages were involved in the dispatch and logistics of transportation. β
"Commander, could Charles II be so enlightened? He had never done anything like this before. β
"If you are sick and rush to the hospital, at this time he will definitely put all the strength at hand into the war. β
The staff first analyzed two sentences, and then realized the intention behind this information: "Commander... This should be a sign that the fight is about to begin, right?"
Sodrol frowned slightly: "Their marching speed and coordination speed have suddenly increased by three or four times, to say that Charles II can easily command so many mages, and let them serve the war obediently, I don't believe it..."
"Commander, you meanβdragons involved?"
"That can only be the case, but it's not bad news - because the dragons are really going to intervene, and it probably stops there. They are responsible for coming up with ideas and commands, but they don't go to war in person, which is not a problem for us, after all, no matter how well the enemy is dispatched and how sophisticated the tactics are... The consequences are actually the same. β
A staff member next to him carefully measured the distance and speed of the enemy's movement with the scale he carried with him, and after some calculations, he said in a low voice: "Commander, according to their current speed, the main forces will arrive in Enrique City one after another tomorrow." β
"After preparing for so long, it's time for a result. β
