Duke gave up all his thoughts, and when he heard the lord's explanation, Karl replied with admiration on his face: "Lord Lord, you really think much farther than us, we still think too simply!"

Hearing Carl's compliment, Duke just smiled and replied: "Carl, don't talk to me, in fact, you just can't see the overall situation at the first time, if you also know these news and think in advance, maybe you can come up with a better way." ”

In fact, Duke was right, he knew a lot of the news first-hand, so he was able to start making plans much earlier. Of course, there is also the height at which he is located, and the things he thinks can surpass the generals under him.

After listening to Duke's plan, the relatively mature Alan thought that there was indeed no better way, so he also nodded and replied: "Lord Lord, just follow the plan you made, the Storm Army will not let you down!"

"Of course I believe in the Storm Army!"

Duke said with great certainty, after all, the Storm Army was brought out by himself, and he had absolute confidence in the strength and loyalty of the Storm Army.

"By the way, one more thing you have to keep in mind is that when the time comes, our main direction of attack will be the barbarians, and we must gather more of their horses. Since we can't afford to buy their war horses, we can only use another means to rob them. ”

When Duke said this, he was completely different from the previous image of Wei Guangzheng, and the expression of a profiteer appeared on his face.

"My lord, isn't this a bit out of chivalry?"

After Carl heard Duke's words, he hesitated to say this, even if he had this idea in his heart, it would be too shameless to say it, after all, he was a trading partner before. And the average knight in this world still attaches great importance to the so-called chivalry, and it is a little unacceptable to such simple and rude words.

"It's a little bit, but the barbarians are not a human empire, so it's not a big problem. ”

Duke casually made an excuse for himself, and then stopped the discussion on chivalry, leaving Alan and Carl to prepare the battle plan for the occasion.

The Storm Army was all ready, and three days later, Princess Gina came to the Storm Army camp again, this time with a detailed march plan and a route map.

Looking at the attack plan formulated by Marquis Patton, Duke only sneered on his face, because the marching route of the Storm Army was completely caught between the barbarians and the Hans Empire. Once the route of his march is revealed by the Marquis of Barton, then the entire rear road of the Storm Army will be completely cut off.

And the middle lane is the Imperial Army, their rescue must not be thought of, even if the Lion Army on the left offensive route wants to rescue, it is helpless in the face of such a distance.

"Alright, the Storm Army has accepted the attack plan, and has Marquis Patton decided on the specific time of the attack?"

Duke casually put the offensive plan aside, he had already thought of a way to deal with it anyway, so none of these things mattered.

"Both the Imperial Army and the Lion Army are preparing logistical supplies, and you must know that once there is a logistical problem in the vast grassland, then the entire army will be in a dangerous situation. The Imperial Army has been preparing for a long time, and it should be about ten days, but there seems to be a little problem with Duke Otto's Lion Army, plus you still have to supply your Storm Army, and the attack plan should be in a month. ”

"Because around July is the best season for the grassland climate, the burden on logistics and transportation will be greatly reduced, for example, now that the ice and snow are melting in spring, the grassland is muddy, and the attack will be much more difficult. ”

A month later, Duke didn't expect the efficiency of the Imperial Army and the Lion Army to be so grinding, but thinking about it, these two armies had to go out to fight at least 50,000 people, which was almost ten times that of the Storm Army, and naturally the logistical pressure was ten times greater.

Soldiers and horses go first before moving grain and grass, this is an old saying of the ancients, many wars in the era of cold weapons are actually fought in logistics, and it depends on who can't hold it first, so a month is actually not a very exaggerated time.

Another point is that Duke can use this month to make a final war horse trade with the barbarians, and the number of war horses traded will reach 3,000 by then. In addition to the 1,000 breeding horses, there are also 2,000 war horses that can be used directly in battle.

There are more than two hundred horses left before the storm cavalry, and there are still hundreds of breeding horses in the storm horse farm, if it really doesn't work, after the breeding of the Warcraft horn war horse, the number of stallions can also be reduced a little more, and with the current storm sentry cavalry of more than 100 people, there should be no problem in forming a standard cavalry regiment of 1,500 people.

With this quantitative base, it can also ensure that the storm army can also have its own storm cavalry on the premise of taking advantage of the fire to rob the barbarian war horses without success, so as to avoid worries.

So Duke nodded indifferently and replied: "A month later, a month later, there will be no problem on the Storm Army's side, ready to fight at any time." By the way, what's going on with the logistics on the Lion Army's side?"

Duke was just curious, but Princess Gina's answer immediately made him interested.

"I heard that there seems to be a problem with the arsenal, the Lion Army's spare weapons are not enough, and they need to be replenished urgently, and the Imperial side is also trying to find a way to allocate them. It's good that you Storm Army don't need the equipment of the Lion Army, otherwise the attack time will be delayed. ”

As soon as he heard this, Duke remembered Fei Duo's previous warning, that is, the Shark Tribe had once again received a large number of weapons and equipment support. Duke knew that these equipment were all made by his second brother Tok, but he didn't expect that Teucer would actually empty the Lion Army's arsenal, which was a bit too rampant.

"Although the Storm Army does not need weapons and equipment, but other military supplies are needed, it seems that there is a little problem within the Lion Army, in order to ensure the supply of the Storm Army, I may need to personally ask Duke Otto for logistics. ”

A sneer appeared on Duke's face at this time, originally he didn't want to have anything to do with the Lion Army, but now that there was tension in Storm Castle, he could take advantage of this opportunity to put pressure on the Lion Army. Duke didn't believe that Duke Otto would tolerate or even approve of this kind of behavior! Even if Otto didn't feel for his son, he wouldn't do such a desperate thing, so it was very likely that the equipment of the Shark Tribe was smuggled out without Duke Otto's knowledge!

"What do you want to do?"

Princess Gina asked puzzled, and Duke seemed to be very concerned about this matter.

"Don't do anything, just help Duke Otto dig up the moths. ”
