Section XXXIX

Gray smiled slightly, "How many soldiers do you have left?" He chose to avoid the topic, so as not to embarrass the two knights. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"About four thousand! but all wounded! and tired!" said the knight at once.

Gray said secretly in his heart: It seems that the opposite side is very conservative!

Suddenly, Jeke's body shook, and if it weren't for the fast reaction of the Pula rider next to him, he would definitely have fallen to the ground.

Since Gray is the captain of the guard, then the position of the commander of the Yeke is completely relieved, although he is shocked how Gray became the captain of the guard, but now these are not important to him, the important thing is that he can finally rest!

The Knight of Jacques felt a sense of relief, but after he relaxed, his head became drowsy, and fatigue immediately hit.

On the other side of the river, on the far side of the river, a man walked out of the watchtower in the camp, he was wearing solid armor, he looked like a middle-aged man, his body was tall and large, and his face was very domineering.

This man was Parun Donner, lord of Harrance's domain, and he stared coldly at Gray who was surrounded in the middle. Pura had been keeping an eye on the movement on the other side of the river, and when she saw Viscount Donna coming out, she immediately pointed at him and said to Gray, "That man is Viscount Donna!"

Gray immediately looked in the direction Pra was pointing, and the two looked at each other before retracting their gaze, and Gray immediately told Jerk to go down and rest, the knight was clearly on the verge of shock, and Pra helped arrange the defense line on the east bank.

Everything is well prepared.

The Viscount Donna on the opposite side saw that there was no chance to return to his handsome account.

"The second wave of reinforcements from the east bank has arrived, tell me, what to do now?" Viscount Donna rubbed his temples, his head rising in panic at the moment.

A nobleman immediately said: "You should take advantage of their unstable foothold, attack them, take them by surprise, and then take the opportunity to take the camp on the opposite side!"

The nobleman's suggestion was correct, with the current strength of the Viscount of Donna, he would definitely be able to capture the camp on the opposite side by storming the opposite bank, but the losses would be serious.

"No, these thousands of cavalry should only be the vanguard troops, the large army of this old fellow Lockton must be behind us, if we can't attack for a long time, it will be very dangerous!" another nobleman immediately retorted.

"Then what do you say?" asked the nobleman who spoke first, with a slightly red face.

Sir Karl, the captain of the guard of Viscount Donna, said at this time: "Since the desire of the quick attack cannot be realized, then we will fight them here, and then they will be more anxious than us, we just need to wait slowly for them to make a mistake......!"

"Sir Karl, I want to warn you, the goblins in our realm have not been solved yet! there is no time to wait!" a nobleman interrupted Sir Karl, apparently concerned about this issue, thinking that his territory was near the Red Rain Forest.

Viscount Donna interjected: "Don't worry about the goblins in the territory, someone will solve it!"

The nobleman was stunned for a moment, gave a serious look at Viscount Donna, and saw that he did not seem to be perfunctory, so he stopped talking.

Sir Karl glanced at Viscount Donna in surprise, and when he saw Viscount Donna staring at him, he continued: "The Earl of Lockton must recover his lost territory, and he will definitely be more anxious than us! As long as we can hold fast and wait for the enemy to make a mistake, as long as they make a mistake, our chance will come!"

"Moreover, even if we lose this decisive battle, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to return to our own territory, the wealth plundered here is almost enough for the cost of this war, but the Earl of Lockton can't, they can't afford to lose, as long as they lose our army, they can drive straight in!"

Viscount Donna nodded while thinking, and said after a while: "Then we will fight this old fellow Lockton here!" After that, he stood up with a 'swoop', and the next group immediately bowed slightly.

There had been no more fighting between the camps on either side since Gray had arrived with two large groups of cavalry, and each had sent patrols to and fro the shore, and the sentries watched the movement around them with wide eyes from the watchtowers.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon of the 12th, a large force under the command of the Earl of Lockton arrived, and Gray finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Viscount Donna would make a desperate attack, although this possibility was very small.

Gray was the busiest in the evenings, and he had to organize his existing forces in order to meet the decisive battle with the greatest fighting force.

There were only two squadrons left in the original First Squadron of Light Cavalry, and most of them were killed by the Goblin Warlock when Gray arranged them to charge in front in the Red Rain Forest!

The remaining two squadrons of light cavalry were all assigned to the two newly formed cavalry brigades, and those with outstanding combat achievements could be appropriately promoted to boost morale.

The losses of the archer brigade were very small, it can be said that there were basically no losses, mainly because of the defensive operation, as soon as the enemy rushed to kill, they naturally had to hide behind the infantry.

There are still about 2,800 men left in the First Infantry Regiment, and these are all veterans, all of whom have been promoted in the battle merit register, but the Second Infantry Regiment lacks a large number of low-level officers.

After Gray had done all these statistics, it was late at night, he walked out of his tent, looked at the boss's tent, and it was also brightly lit, and walked over.

His camp was very close to the camp of the Earl of Lockton, and after successfully entering the camp, Gray hurriedly reported the content of the reorganization, although the Earl of Lockton said that he would give power to Gray, but Gray still had to report, after all, the reorganization of the troops was not a trivial matter.

"Okay! Earl Lockton waved his hand: "Let's get down to business, the Viscount Donna on the other side obviously wants to fight us here for a long time, and they are now building towers along the riverbank!"

"Tomorrow we will attack tentatively, although we have an advantage in troops, but it is not very obvious!" Gray said quickly.

Count Lockton nodded: "The current battle situation is very unfavorable for us, we originally wanted to use the natural defense line of the Erni River to block the pace of Viscount Donna, but now it has become our own obstacle!"

"Lord Earl, your family has ruled the northwest region of the Herion Territory for hundreds of years, and if we secretly send some people to lobby secretly, we may be able to have unexpected results!" Gray said.

Earl Lockton's eyes lit up when he heard this, "This method can be tried, wait for you to arrange it immediately, if someone can help us, give a little benefit appropriately!"

Gray nodded, "If we really want to fight a protracted war, it is not necessarily that we will suffer, Viscount Donna's army has a longer front than ours, although we will get a lot of supplies from plundering in our northwest territory in the early stage, but as long as it takes a long time, their rear supply will definitely be more difficult than ours!"

"If our people can successfully lobby in the rear of Viscount Donna, then we can organize people to regularly harass Viscount Donna's rear supply lines! In this way, Viscount Donna will be more anxious than us, even if Viscount Donna is not in a hurry, those nobles who are inferior to them will also be in a hurry!"

Earl Lockton nodded as he listened, and after Gray finished speaking, he laughed: "Yes, it's already good that you can think of this step, but Viscount Donna must also know that there is a problem with his rear supply line, and he definitely puts no less thought into this regard than you!"

Gray smiled slightly: "Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing to think too much!"
