Chapter 7: The King's Plan
Human beings always have an inferiority, that is, no matter how tragic things happen, as long as they do not happen to them, they always treat them with a play-watching mentality - even if the person who has the tragedy is their own brother
It is with this attitude that the current King of Pole, Duris I, views the upheavals in his homeland and the fratricidal relations between his brothers
An official came before Duris Heath, and a detailed report on the incident that had taken place in the province of Lavillar in the Fayele Empire had come out, and His Majesty was invited to look at it, and as he handed it a thick stack of letters to the king
Duris I looked at Wen Jiàn seriously, and from time to time he circled the side of Wen Jiàn with a quill pen
The official in charge of intelligence stood quietly beside him, he knew that the king in front of him, whom he respected very much, was quite concerned about the upheaval that had occurred in the northern neighboring country, that country was not only the hometown of the king, but also the hometown of the officials themselves, although Duris used a large number of Pole natives in his government, but some key departments in his cabinet were still controlled by his direct cronies brought from the Fayele Empire, for example, he attached great importance to the intelligence agency, and after Pole became the master, Duriss moved his huge private intelligence network completely, so as the head of the intelligence department of the Fayele people, he also urgently wanted to know what happened to the king in front of him in FayeleThe best outcome of the incident, of course, would be for the king to lead them back to Fayale, so that he would not only have a chance to make a name for himself, but also return to his homeland
However, after more than an hour of careful reading of all the texts, Duris I only said a few words: wait and see
What does it mean to wait and see what happens, isn't this a great opportunity, now that the Kingdom of Pole has achieved a rich country and a strong army under your hard work, while Fa Yale has become dilapidated and withered under the rule of your brother, and is currently on the verge of civil war, the people of the whole of France and Yale are calling for a promising Ming Jun, if you don't fight back now, wait until when you first take Pole to prepare for the rear, and then kill back to Fa Yale, seize power, and establish a prosperous and powerful United Nations - isn't this the goal when you took the initiative to attack the Pole Kingdom
Fox can't figure it out, come here and say, Duris led the officials to a huge military exercise sand table in front of the imperial study, I know that you old fellows who have followed me for many years miss your hometown, I am not the same, but there is always a big difference between reality and ideals, and you have to accept that cruelty
Seeing the disappointment on his face, Duris felt compelled to explain it to his subordinates - this was what set him apart from other kings, and it was this way of dealing with his subordinates as equals that made them unconditionally support him, whether they were generals or kings
Are you interested in a sand table deduction, as the commander-in-chief of the Pole Kingdom, you deploy the war against Fa Yaru, and I, as the commander of Fa Yale, Du Lis, hand over the command whip to the officials
Fawkes took the command whip and studied the sand table carefully, and then he resolutely pointed the command whip towards a place on the border between Pole and Fayle
The minister will first launch a feint from here, contain the main force of His Majesty, and then the main force of the minister will attack from this side, concentrate on attacking these cities, and Fox's command whip points to several gravel piles on the sand table that symbolize the city, and then he planted the small red flag symbolizing the Pole army on it, although he is now engaged in the work of the hidden front, but in the early years, Fox was just and led troops to fight, and he was not a layman at all for commanding operations
But even if you are allowed to capture these cities, it should be easy for Du Liss to take another command whip and draw it on the sand table, first block these passes with a small number of miscellaneous troops, trap your main army in the city, and then my main force will go south from this side to the south of the Pole Kingdom, and the whole country is full of plains, and it should be easy to drive straight in
Fawkes was taken aback, and sure enough, it was Prince Duris who everyone would rather abandon his hometown and follow, he was a natural military genius, and his excellent command strategy was unmatched, Fawkes stared at the sand table seriously and thought for a long time, and then he raised his command whip again: The minister concentrated the main forces deployed in those cities, unified to the southeast, and broke through to the back of the main force of His Majesty, and attacked the main force of His Majesty with the internal and external forces of the domestic army, and counterattacked the main force of Pole, saying that he pulled out the red flag in the city, and then pulled out a small blue flag in the southeast, and planted the red flag behind the larger blue flag that penetrated deep into the territory of Pole, and at the same time ordered the two major army corps deployed on the western border to attack the western hinterland of Fayele, and at the same time ordered the two major army corps deployed on the western border to attack the western hinterland of Fayele, and at the same time ordered the two major army corps deployed on the western border to attack the western hinterland of Fayele...... Well, the current Emperor Fayele has the weakest ruling power, and here is also the place where the central imperial power is ruled by the deepest people, there are frequent popular riots, and the family forces of Viscount Gwiva, who rules the border with Bole, have been severely weakened in the war with the necromancer, so the minister's attack from the west will encounter little resistance, and with the efforts of the minister's intelligence system, he will even be helped by the local civilians, and then he will pick up two red flags and plant them in the western territory of Fayele
Hehe, Fox, you think very thoughtfully, facing the danger that the courtiers have caused to themselves for the second time, this confident king smiled, yes, the family private soldiers of the local lords in the western part of Fayale are vulnerable, but have you ever thought about the troops directly under the central government sent directly from the imperial capital
It is impossible for Fox to argue that the emperor is so far away from the east and the west, and when the troops directly under the central government reach the southwest front, the daylilies will be cold
At present, the Pole Kingdom is deployed on the western border, we brought from the north two heavy infantry-based corps, heavy infantry in addition to the fear of bows and arrows, what are you afraid of, you will not forget it, Du Lis, directly from the capital of Fayeru, Byrne City, pulled a long straight line to the west, I dispatched 6 squadrons of the central troops directly under the imperial capital, the griffin air cavalry flew directly to the southwest front, that is, half a day, even if it takes at most 1 day to rest halfway, it can completely attack you before your troops gain a foothold
However, even if the air force has restraint on heavy infantry, it is impossible to completely eat our two legions with 6 squadrons of griffin air cavalry, not to mention that it will take time for the ground logistics troops to keep up, and Fox pointed out the disadvantages of sending griffin troops to reinforce them
I divide all the griffons into three parts, take turns harassing your two legions, and it is completely possible to get the ground logistics troops to follow before the empty cavalry station runs out of supplies it carries, and Durris has stated his strategy, as long as you harass your supply lines day and night, and drag your two legions for a while, the mission of these griffin airriders will be completed, and then Duris noticed that Fawkes is setting his sights on the Hansa capital of Pole, and before Fawkes can speak, he said, don't think about moving your griffons directly from Hansand City to fight with me, although in the past twelve years, Pole has built two new griffon cliffs, so that the air cavalry force has been nearly twice as large as it was in the days of the Madans, but this is the end of this powerIt's not enough, what does it matter if the griffons you sent out to support me are gone, and Hansand City has lost the protection of the griffins, and the sky is completely exposed to the Empire's air force, just like it was twelve years ago
Such a subtle response made Fawkes stunned, and he could only continue to stare at the sand table to find a new way to break through, but no matter what kind of deployment and offensive Fawkes made, King Durris had a way to see the move, seeing that the number of red flags on the sand table was getting fewer and fewer, and the blue flags were increasing
Every step of the deployment of the two commanders symbolizes the brutal battle of hundreds or thousands of people on the real battlefield, and the sand table deduction of just two and a half hours has caused tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides to die on the battlefield, not counting the losses of civilians in the two countries
The ending of the sand table deduction made Fawkes break out in a cold sweat, and he thought that the Poyler army, which was enough to counterattack the empire, was killed without leaving a piece of armor, and the king standing opposite him only used 40% of the empire's army;
Similarly, Du Lisi's face is not good-looking, whether it is the relocation of the troops he worked so hard to establish and cultivate, or the empire under his command has suffered heavy losses in the opponent's offensive, he is not happy in his heart, although this is only a false war, but once the war really starts, the scenes that appear on the sand table will be all repeated in reality, and it will be ten times more cruel than on the battlefield
For Duris, there is no winner in this war, on one side is the motherland that gave birth to him and raised him, and on the other side is the kingdom that he has devoted his life to, and the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands are full of meat, how should he let Duris give up
Your Majesty, what should we do, Fawkes broke the silence, his mood just now was as heavy as Duris, and now that he had lost his direction, he could only ask for help from the royal capital who was standing on the windowsill and contemplating
We need to wait for Duris to not turn around
Waiting for what henchman ministers raised their own questions
We're going to wait for the recent succession of attacks on the Knights Templar in the name of Emperor Charlotte I in the western part of the Empire
Yes, but anyone who thinks a little knows that the emperor is framed and blamed, and the Central Church will not fail to see this, unless they are all fools
Ha, that's exactly what I'm waiting for, Duris I, with a sly grin, waiting for the priests to pretend to be fools.
