Time passed quickly, ten days had passed in the blink of an eye, and Colonel Bird, the vanguard of the Black Lin army, had entered Thorn Ridge with three thousand soldiers, and now he was leading his army towards Rock Town.

However, his speed was not very fast, firstly to avoid overworking the soldiers, but to wait for the large army behind.

And the so-called army behind them is less than a day's journey, and the cavalry can feel it in more than an hour.

Is the commander of the Heilin army a fool to separate the army and let others fight the time difference. Therefore, after learning about the situation of the Heilin army, Bai Ling and Yang Yuan had no intention of attacking the vanguard of the Heilin army. Because the opponent's reinforcements can arrive in an hour, even if they can eat the opponent's 3,000 people, then they are exhausted by then how to fight the incoming enemy.

And these days, Bai Ling Yang Yuan's movements are frequent, as long as he is not blind, he can find out, not to mention the Black Lin army with countless spies.

Major General Liberis, the barracks of the Black Lin Army, is also the supreme commander of the Black Lin Army this time. He looked at the rudimentary map on the table and said, "You also understand the current situation, the other side has divided the forces, there are more than 5,000 infantry in the city, and more than 1,500 cavalry outside the city. How to fight now, you all say what you think. ”

As a high-ranking general of the Principality of Heilin and a future marshal, Buriske is a very smart man. Because in any Western country, there is no problem in becoming a colonel-level officer by virtue of ability, but it is difficult to become a general-level officer.

Why? Because if you want to become a general-level officer, you can't do it if the state says it, you have to say it to the church. That's right, if you want to become a general, you must first be recognized by your country, and then the church can agree to succeed.

Of course, this statement may be a bit exaggerated. Historically, however, there have been no more than 10 people who have become generals without being recognized by the Church. What is this concept, the history of the church for a thousand years averages less than two in a hundred years. Of course, the empire does not accept this set, and all the rules are for weak kingdoms and principalities.

This example tells us that if you want to be a general, you can't do it without a brain. In the current situation, the coalition forces seem to be powerful, but they are a combination of multiple interests. He has to take into account the attitude of each side and decide as appropriate, otherwise the alliance will have big problems.

Lieutenant Colonel Bull said, "It is said that the enemy has stationed a cavalry outside the city, and I think I should lead someone to destroy them." Our cavalry is not good at attacking the city, so it will not be of much use in attacking the rock town, and at the same time, it is also to prevent the infantry from being harassed by these rats in the back when attacking the city. ”

None of them had any opinions, and Bull analyzed the situation so thoroughly that no one could find fault with it.

Burris ordered: "Don't underestimate the enemy, it is said that there are violet cavalry of the Dawn Empire inside, and they are not waste." ”

"Understood, I'll take notice. Bull replied in the affirmative, but only he knew if he heard it or not.

Anse El said, "Because of something, my cavalry team left first. But our 100 magicians are still there, so if you need our help, just ask. After receiving Alan's letter, Ansel sent the cavalry back, apparently knowing what he had done. However, he and his magicians stayed, as the Principality of Black Lin and the Dawn Empire needed the support of the Church in the war. And because the Principality of Heilin was founded for too short a time, there are very few magicians cultivated. Now he needs the help of a magician from the Church, and he can't just leave.

Burris and the others didn't say anything, just leave, and this point of people doesn't affect the overall situation.

However, this guy actually proposed: "Can we skip Rock Town, bypass it, and then go directly to arrest Ying Zihan, so that we can make his men surrender." ”

After hearing this, everyone tried to hold back their laughter, and they still had to give the bishop face, otherwise they would be embarrassed if they were injured on the battlefield and needed treatment. Marquis Sharp explained, "According to the intelligence, Iwajin is still seventeen days away from Ying Zihan's Chaoge. It would have taken more time if the army had gone. During this time, if the Qin army in Yanzhen cut off our food and grass, we would be defeated directly..."

Anse El immediately stopped talking after hearing this, which was really embarrassing. However, everyone did not make fun of him, after all, it is also true that he will not lead troops to fight at all.

In the end, Burris came out and concluded: "Rock Town is just a small town, the walls are not high, and although we can't send many soldiers every time we attack, they don't have many people who can defend on the walls. So this time, let's fight a wave of attrition first and see if the other side is capable of making plans. With these 100 magicians, our casualties will be much smaller. At the same time, he still hasn't said a word, if the opponent can't even stop the first wave of attacks, there is no need to calculate.

Then Burris said, "That fellow Auston has sent three thousand men to support Yingzihan, and now they are stationed on the border of Thorn Ridge, forty miles away from Liyan Town. For now, let's leave them alone, but we need an army to keep an eye on them, lest they make any small moves. Marquis Sharp, you have no problem with this task. Burris asked, looking at the middle-aged Sharp.

"Of course no problem, even if they come to attack, I will lead someone to hold them back. Sharp assured everyone

"Well, you must hold them back, and I will send someone to support you when the time comes. But I don't think these guys are going to be out of action, they want to see us lose and then come out and pick up the bargain......

Okay, now send someone to inform Bird and tell him to send someone to invite them to fight after they settle down, and see if the other party dares to go out of the city to fight them. Now everyone went back to clean up, and the army set off for Rock Town in an hour. When Beris gave the order, everyone withdrew from the tent and began to prepare to leave.

At this moment, Bird's army was heading towards Rock Town, and he also knew that the enemy had a cavalry outside the city. So he changed the two-man marching column to an eight-man line, which cut the length of the line several times shorter. Avoid being attacked by splitting your team into several sections and then defeating them. At the same time, Bird sent all the scouts in the army to find out the movements of the Qin cavalry, hoping to avoid being attacked by the other side.

It is said that Yang Jian really took advantage of the opportunity of the Heilin vanguard to sneak attack a wave to hit their morale first. However, because their defense is very tight, they give up this plan, if they go like this, they will not take advantage of any big advantage, but will be targeted here.

He seemed a little worried, this leader was not a fuel-efficient lamp, if the officers behind him were all such people, I am afraid that this battle would be really difficult to fight. Thinking of this, he immediately arranged for someone to report to Bai Ling and Yang Yuan in Yanzhen, telling them to be careful of each other.

"Report~, the enemy's spies have left. "A scout is reporting to Bird.

"Well, you go down," Bird then commanded to increase the speed of the march. Bird was startled when he first received a report from the scout that there were a large number of spies scouting the military situation around, and he thought that the other party was coming to attack him, so he reduced the speed of the army's advance, and now that the other party is gone, he naturally has to increase his speed. This afternoon, I have to rush to camp outside Rock Town, and tomorrow I have to call for battle according to the instructions above, and the time is still very tight.

(I was so tired from a day of car riding yesterday that I fell asleep at night while coding words.) Awkward, there's still a chapter in the evening, maybe a little late. )
