Chapter 168: The Battle of Doret VI

By the time Fed and Lord Möngke returned to the headquarters, the Derek had long since disappeared, but Ludwig and Stanley were sitting upright in their seats, and they did not show a panicked expression.

"Captain Fed and Munke are here, sit down. ”

Fei De didn't know why the generals in front of him were so calm, and now they could worry about internal troubles and poison the soldiers! And when Fei De left the city wall just now, the invading troops of the East Oguna Empire were approaching, and it was estimated that they had already planned with the inner part of the city, and when the soldiers guarding the city were poisoned, they would immediately launch a new round of attacks.

A smile appeared on Ludwig's face, although there was no anxious expression on Feide's face, but Ludwig seemed to see through Feide's heart, and he said slowly: "Commander Feide and the generals must be worried, right? But the current situation is still under our control. ”

Under control?How can so many soldiers be under control when they are poisoned?Fei couldn't help but feel a trace of anger, and the smug expression of the winter country man in front of him was really disgusting.

The Chief of the General Staff also chimed in: "Although there was a little accident, and those poisonous foods did affect our plans to a certain extent, we have found out the inner part of the city, and the reason why the smoke is billowing from the city is also part of our plan. ”

The other generals and Phyll didn't know what to say, and it was incomprehensible that Stanley knew that someone wanted to set fire to the enemy outside the city and didn't stop it.

Ludwig then explained: "I and the Chief of the General Staff knew a long time ago that General Derek was an enemy and a traitor to our army."

The other generals all showed surprised expressions, and Möngke immediately exchanged words with the other generals to confirm the truth of what Ludwig said.

"Derek's plan is to take up a defensive position in the city, and then set fire to the city's grain depot to send a signal to the invasion of the East Oguna Empire outside the city," Ludwig said with his eyes closed, "but we have already captured him, and now Derek is in the prison of the inner city, and hundreds of his comrades have been beheaded." As for the burning building, it was just a haystack that we sent people to pile up, and the real grain store was still unharmed. ”

The Chief of the General Staff also nodded and said: "That's right, after we learn of the traitor's plan, we plan to plan and lure the invading army to attack the city, so that the core part of our strategy can be completed." ”

"What's the core?" Fielder couldn't help but ask. In the previous military council, Stanley always gave people a sense of reservation, and the strategic priority mentioned earlier was nothing more than not to let the enemy delay time, and then fight to the death in the city.

Ludwig smiled and said: "Commander Fidel doesn't have to worry, the core part of the plan is still the same as at the beginning, using our main forces and the enemy's main forces to fight directly as soon as possible." Of course, this is directly based on the fact that we are standing on the walls and the enemy is under the walls. ”

"But many of our soldiers have been poisoned now!The invading army of the East Oguna Empire will surely be demoralized, and I am afraid that drawing the enemy in will turn into shooting yourself in the foot!" one of the generals could not help but shout loudly, he was already restless, and he was already standing up and speaking when he said this.

"That's right, food poisoning is indeed an unexpected thing," Stanley waved his hand to sit down in the lead, "Those poisoned soldiers will cause us to lose some of our combat effectiveness, but we have immediately asked all the reserve troops to replace the soldiers on the city wall, and the poisoning was discovered in a relatively timely manner, so it is estimated that the soldiers who have lost their combat ability due to the damage of the toxin do not exceed 50,000." ”

Fifty thousand is already a huge number, and all the generals are aware of the current crisis, but Ludwig and Stanley are still able to stand still. Meng Ke was too anxious to speak, although he heard that Stanley had been prepared and immediately replenished the reserves, but now no one could stop the invasion army from attacking.

"Let me tell you, the most important part of this plan is to let the enemy not stop for a moment, directly let them attack us, and fight us in one day!" Ludwig finally opened his eyes, his blue and white eyes revealed ambition, even looking at Ludwig Fidel couldn't help but avoid his gaze, this was the first time that Fidel felt uncomfortable with a person's gaze.

"And this is only the first step in the plan, because the Eastern Oguna Empire will definitely not know that there will be a devastating blow in their army immediately!"

The other generals were talking in a low voice, and one of them asked loudly, "Lord Ludwig, could it be that the enemy also has our internal response?"

Ludwig did not say any more, as if he did not intend to tell the crowd what could inflict a devastating blow on the enemy's army of 200,000 men. When Fidel heard the word "devastating," he only thought of a tornado or a flood, and only the sudden appearance of that kind of thing could cause a devastating blow to humanity.

"Alright, the time is almost up, those invading forces of the East Oguna Empire should be almost within our attack range, generals, please return to your defensive area. Stanley, Chief of the General Staff, ended the meeting and let everyone go back. While most of the generals didn't know what it was that made Stanley and Ludwig think they were winning, Fidel knew that if the map of the distribution of forces presented at the Defense Council was brought from within the enemy, then the commander-in-chief, Saresa, must have someone from the Theoguna Empire on his side. Now it seems that if the troops of General Bonzina in Yiwang City can turn against the battlefield again, lead the surrendered troops to the battlefield, and attack the back of the invading army from behind, it will be a force to change the battlefield.

By the time Fide and Möngke returned to the walls, the defensive trebuchets in the sub-city were already in operation, attacking the enemy's approaching siege towers. Feder noticed that the giant siege towers had shifted their course, preferring to take long detours rather than the tunnels that had been dug out of the pits. There are seven siege towers heading towards the south and east of the city, and it is estimated that the rest of the towers will choose to attack the west side of Doret City. Moreover, the hoplites had increased their march, and they obeyed the command of the trumpet of attack, and approached the city walls with the long staircase of the city.

"Captain Fed, what now?" Marcus and the other three regiment commanders surrounded him, and the mercenaries who had not received food supplies after the regular army had been poisoned seemed more combative.

"Everything is still under control, we just need to hold our posts, the other areas have been replaced by a new batch of soldiers, don't worry. Fidel reassured the agitated-looking crowd with words, knowing that the morale of the defenders had now plummeted, and it was only to be seen if the "devastating" blow that Ludwig had called would come as expected.

At this time, in the camp of the invasion army of the East Oguna Empire, a woman wearing a veil was sitting in the barracks, talking to Saresa face to face.

"Captain Reese, has Deputy Captain Myra already arranged everything?"

"That's right, our mercenary guild is targeting the life weapon in the hands of Saint Golia, and yours is targeting Doret City, and our goals are the same and our interests are the same. ”

"That's great, Regent Xiumo must still think they have a chance to win now, right?"

"That's for sure. Reese, the leader of the widow's mercenary group, smiled faintly behind the veil, her eyes glazed over.
