After two days of preparation, Norman led his army by water, from Lake Apollos, directly into the Nakbei River, and went ashore at the port closest to the war zone.

Each large warship carried 500 people, including cargo ships carrying logistics and war horses, a total of 32 ships. Sailing along the way, it shows the incomparably strong waterway carrying capacity of Willante as one of the three kingdoms.

......

After some rest, and avoiding the scorching afternoon sun, the army set out again, and at dusk, the army again rushed fifty kilometers.

Seeing that it was getting late and approaching the war zone, Norman ordered the army to camp in place and bury the pot for cooking.

Between them, a fast horse carried a road of smoke and dust, like an arrow from the string, and quickly came to the Chinese army.

"Report!"

"General, traces of engagement have been found eighteen kilometers ahead, suspected to have been left behind by the fierce battle between the rebels and the restoration army of the Principality of Meihe. ”

"Don't care about him, it's getting late at this time, it's not appropriate to risk sending troops, our army should be a dignified and upright army to defeat the evil. Teach rebellion. Norman looked motionless and continued to calmly issue military orders one after another.

Sayles was quite appreciative on the side, and said in his heart: Although this person is from a noble family, he still has real talent and hard work. Although the army was intact for many days, the whole army was quite tired, and the most important thing was to take advantage of the rare gap before the war to restore combat strength. Although there are only 10,000 reinforcements, they are all elite, 10,000 wolves, facing the hundreds of thousands of rebels led by the Dawning Church is like facing hundreds of thousands of fat sheep. Moreover, next to hundreds of thousands of fat sheep, there is another group of fat sheep with an equally large number of them.

That night, while Sayles was preparing to sleep in his clothes, Norman summoned him to say that there was an emergency.

Sayles had no choice but to drag his tired body to Norman's tent.

"Zitai, why are you here!" Sayles asked in surprise as he looked at Zitai standing in the tent.

"This person claims to be the deputy head of your regiment, but he has no tokens, so he has to ask the head of the regiment to come and identify one or two. Norman said.

Qi Tai spread his hands, "Our employer is in big trouble, the Restoration Army is advancing lightly, surrounded by rebels, ten days ago, most of the noble private army led by the Jacob family defected, Pete had no choice but to lead the remaining army to break through to the west, fortunately, the main army of the rebels happened to be arranged in the southeast, and the west was just some small noble private army loyal to the Dawning Church, and after a bloody battle, they were able to escape. ”

Hearing this, Norman raised his eyebrows, "How much is left of the Restoration Army?" ”

"There are 70,000 people who still have combat strength. However, along the way, there are mostly some aristocratic territories and cities that are loyal to the Grand Duke of Meihe, and I believe that the replenishment of troops is not a problem. ”

Norton rubbed his temples and said in a more relaxed tone, "Where is the Restoration Army now, and how am I going to meet it?" ”

"I'm here to discuss with the general about the battle strategy. Believing that your country would send reinforcements, Prince Pete sent me four days ago to look for traces of the army and to discuss the battle plan with the general. ”

Norton's expression was relieved just now, and he wrinkled together, "Discussion? The two sides are hundreds of miles apart, how to discuss, the fighter plane is fleeting......"

"Prince Pete explained that this battle plan is only a general direction, and I believe that the army excluded by the Kingdom of Willant must be the elite of the elite, and the generals who lead the troops must also be very human, so I am instructed to hand over this strategy to the general, and if the general thinks it is feasible, the two sides will send troops to achieve the strategic goal. If the general raises an objection, I will convey the general's opinion, and the side of the Restoration Army will implement it unconditionally. ”

Norton frowned and took the letterhead.

"The Restoration Army could not hold out to attract the attention of the rebels, and a small group of elite troops ambushed the rear and disrupted the rebel supply lines. Reinforcements advanced steadily from west to east, completely clearing out the defenders in the rear of the rebels, scattering elite scouts and cavalry, and blocking the news of reinforcements entering the battle. The Restoration Army waited for an opportunity to counterattack, and a month later, they met in Meihe City. ”

There are not many strategies written on the letterhead, and it is easy to grasp the various operational objectives and meanings in them.

But......

"Perseverance is also a way, and if the whole army is united, I believe it will not be difficult to do. Are you sure he's not joking when he is fighting back? In his heyday, he was still beaten by the Dawning Church, but now his strength has been greatly reduced, and he even says that he is waiting for an opportunity to fight back?"

"Since he is so arrogant in the Principality of Meihe, what does it matter if I cooperate once! What's the big deal, why is it difficult for my warriors of Willant to directly push the entire territory of the Principality of Meihe!"

"Qi Tai, you and Captain Sails go to the Meihe Principality together, and tell Pete that kid in person, I, Norman, see how he 'waits for the opportunity to counterattack', if he can't do it, the property of their Meihe Principality this time will be doubled!"

......

At the end of the discussion, it was late at night, and Sayles and Zittai had just entered the tent, and Sayles couldn't wait to ask, "What the hell is going on, how did you fall into an ambush and suffer such a big loss, didn't Diablo give you news? Besides, Pete's kid doesn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

Qi Tai smiled bitterly, and then explained the "cutting sores" plan that Pete had improvised to make.

"So that's the case, it's reasonable to say this, I can't think of it, these plays. The heart of the person who governs is really dirty. This hand borrowed a knife to kill people and played really slippery. ”

Subsequently, the exhausted two fell to sleep, preparing to quickly return to the side of the Restoration Army after dawn the next day.

......

Three days later, the two appear in front of Pete, and Sayles tells the story of what happened along the way.

"Yo, this Prince Charles is really generous, and he actually sent an entire team of people from the Holy Knights, so that the certainty of defeating the Church of Dawn is even greater. Pete said happily.

In recent times, good things have come one after another.

The disobedient part of the aristocracy has been removed by the hand of the Dawning Church...... With the cooperation of Diablo, the main army of the Church of Dawn happened to appear in the direction of the defector nobles, and after a bloody storm, the patriarch of the Jacob family, the title warrior Robbie Jacob, was beheaded by Murphy, and the rest of the people surrendered.

The rest of the army will be used by itself and firmly in his hands, and this will be an important weight for himself to gain a foothold on the mainland in the future. At the same time, the combat strength of the integrated Restoration Army soared, and in the face of the overwhelming Dawn Church, it was repelled many times without danger, stopping the decline that had been defeated before, and gradually stabilizing its position.

Willant reinforcements arrived on time, even earlier than he expected, and both the quantity and quality of the army greatly exceeded his expectations, and a great sense of happiness came like a tide. For Pete, the money he promised was still in the hands of the Dawning Church, and he was suspected of being generous.
