Marching and fighting.

The three common points of victory are nothing more than the right time, the right place, and the right people.

Although there is indeed a saying that the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people, everything is not absolute, although the prince occupies the location this time, but Vega intends to use the time to counteract the location.

It's late autumn after the harvest season.

The vegetation is dry, the temperature drops, and it is also the time when the fog will rise, October 15th is the first foggy weather of the year, and according to the prediction ability of the Spiritual Mage, the fog is not small.

The fog with extremely low visibility on the river meant that the war airships above the sky were useless.

Because even a spirit mage can't accurately lock on to the target ship on the river through such a thick fog.

What's more, the spirit mage is not a cabbage, and the wind mage who is responsible for locking the target on the general war airship is a wind mage with lower accuracy than the spirit mage, which is the standard configuration of a war airship in war.

Of course, there are no absolutes.

If the war airship equipped with the Spirit Mage descends to a height of less than 70 meters and conducts a low-altitude reconnaissance mission, it will still be easy to know the coordinates of Vega, but it is only a reconnaissance.

If a large army of war airships descend to a height of less than 70 meters to fight.

Then Vega can completely order the mage troops to launch a counterattack and shoot down the war airship from the sky, and in the end, it is not certain who will die in this war on the river, and the West Bank is reluctant to send the air force in such a place.

The problem of the Air Force was solved.

All that remains is the enemy's two navies.

Although the enemy's air force could not participate in the battle, its reconnaissance capability was still there, and if it detected the position of the fleet, it was very likely that the route would be provided to the navy on the west bank, so that the navy could block the river on Vega.

Vega's ships were large merchant ships.

There are no attack devices that increase the power of magic, there is no ability to defend against enemy magical attacks, even the speed cannot be compared to that of regular military ships, and because of its size, it is completely a moving target, even if the enemy is blind with his eyes closed, his entire army can be buried.

If this really starts a naval battle, I am afraid it will be a one-sided situation.

So what should I do?

Here we have to mention the strange order that more than a month ago, Vega ordered the Chancellor of the Exchequer to build three times the number of ships with a base of 200,000 troops.

Vega was intent on using this empty ship to confuse the enemy.

What will happen when the enemy's air force, risking its life, lowers to 70 meters and fearfully detects that two convoys are crossing the river from the upper and middle reaches respectively? Of course, this information is reported to the navy as soon as possible.

There are exactly two in the Navy.

When it was learned that there were two fleets crossing the river from the upper and middle reaches, of course, they were divided to stop the two fleets, and Vega could take advantage of the two navies to smash the empty ships and cross the Donbu River with the real army unscathed.

At this time, even if the Air Force detected Vega's traces again, it could only sigh.

Because the enemy navy running in the middle and upper reaches had no time to turn the bow of the ship and come to stop the real fleet of Vega.

This is the whole plan that Vega had come up with a month ago.

What's more, the use of 'heavenly time' in this world is quite shallow, as can be seen from the fact that they conduct wars throughout the year regardless of the season, and they do not have a clear understanding of these solar terms at all.

According to Vega's understanding.

There is also no precedent in this world for the time being when the fog is used to cover the crossing of the riverbank.

For the first person to eat a crab, there is always the greatest benefit, and the absence of such a precedent means that the chances of the enemy being fooled will increase, and it is entirely possible that Vega will lead him by the nose.

And it's not a one-time strategy.

Even if the whole plan is put on the surface, the enemy can only pick two out of three, and he still has a 33.33......% chance of crossing the Donbu River, unlike other generals who cross the river by brute force, and the chance of success is less than 1%.

It's a pity that this plan is not destined to be seen by Tanil.

If he had seen this plan in advance and landed on the West Bank, I am afraid that the West Bank would have been scorched long ago.

So now all Vega has to do is wait.

Wait until October 15th.

It's October 5th, which means there's still ten days left for the plan to begin.

Vega stood on the harbor and looked into the distance, silently feeling the peace before the war, and at the same time full of confusion about this westward expedition. Although this plan seems to him to be quite perfect, even the most perfect plan has loopholes, and he has experienced several times what it means to be inferior to heaven.

At this time, a cold wind hit, which made Vega can't help but tighten his neckline.

The seasons of the Holy Dynasty are very different from previous lives.

Although it was already autumn at this time in the previous life, the temperature during the day during the National Day was still quite high, and the Holy Dynasty was already faintly showing signs of winter at this moment, and I was afraid that it would be more than twice as cold by the 15th.

"The art of war is cloudy, attacking it unprepared, and taking it by surprise. ”

Vega watched the sunset slowly swallowed up by the river, and muttered to himself: "But this time the enemy is in full array, and I have not the slightest preparation, is it right or wrong to rashly cross the river to the west?"

The West Bank had a large force of 500,000 troops that could be mobilized at will, including a standard air regiment, and the scattered troops defending the city were not counted and had not been affected by the fighting.

And he only had 200,000 recruits, of which only 15,000 were in the Imperial Army.

The West Bank is full of talent.

All the high-ranking generals and high-ranking officials on the East Bank were transferred to the West Bank, and Vega was the only one he could rely on.

The West Bank is at ease and at home.

Vega is not just playing away from home, they are also coming from afar.

It is no exaggeration to say that this enemy is even more terrifying than Tanir's 400,000 kingdom army, and this war is not an order of magnitude at all, and the overall strength of Vega is probably more than ten times weaker.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent leads to victory in a hundred battles.

But this time, it is precisely because of knowing oneself and knowing the other that Vega cannot see the future.

And it's not okay if he doesn't fight this war, unless he is willing to miss this once-in-a-millennium opportunity, give up everything in his hands, and return to the empire as the No. 4 person in the dark, and be constrained by the platform of the empire for life.

"Poultry and eagles?"

Vega turned around and left in the afterglow of the setting sun: "Even if the poultry can get comfort, but after all, it will be sent to the fence, and I don't need that kind of false comfortable life." ”

Vega returned to headquarters, and it was already dark.

But as soon as he returned to the command, his new adjutant came up to him: "Report to the general, the imperial envoy has asked you for a meeting." ”

"Imperial emissary?"

Vega didn't have a reason to jump, vaguely guessing some of the intentions of the envoy sent by the empire for the second time.
