The commander who led the three coalition forces this time was Baron Duru, who was a baron lord of the Aegisa Domain, saying that it was the three coalition forces, but in fact, only the Seku Collar and the Tis Leader sent troops. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The El Gisa needed to contain Count Lockton, so he did not send troops to help, only aided some supplies and equipment.

Therefore, Baron Duru, who was led by Agiza, is the best commander of this coalition, and the lords on both sides do not have to worry about this baron favoring the other side when using troops.

This Baron Durroux was a man of bold nature and extremely intelligent, and he was experienced in commanding. He was very strict with his subordinates, and if anyone did not accomplish the goals he had set, he would not hesitate to remove them from their posts or even execute them according to military law.

On his first day as commander of the coalition forces, he sent two knights back.

Therefore, to fight under his command, it is better not to desert, otherwise the punishment for waiting will be very serious.

Baron Durou, after detecting Count Borg's arrangement, did not blindly order an attack, because he knew that no matter which line he attacked, as long as his attack was frustrated, the opponent would immediately launch a pincer attack, directly from the rear of his attacking force, and encircle himself in reverse.

As for attacking three fronts at the same time, his forces were simply insufficient.

After a long day of careful consideration, Baron Duroux came up with a battle plan.

On the night of 6 October, under the cover of darkness, Baron Duroux ordered his troops to advance lightly and lightly towards the fortress farthest from them, that is, on the high slope.

This fortress was the most well-defended of the Count of Borg, and it was also the most well arranged, with four thousand soldiers, but most of these soldiers were new recruits.

The reason why Count Borg arranged this arrangement was also to train recruits while defending against the attack of the Seku Territory.

The earl did not expect the enemy to attack at this time, and his intelligence showed that the other side did not have sufficient supplies for the troops to attack, so he did not pay attention to the troops assembled by the other side, he thought that the other party just wanted to arrange a defensive line on the border line.

This decision of Baron Duroux was indeed very bold, because in order for his troops to reach the location he had planned, they had to pass through the middle ground between the two fortress garrisons on the left and right flanks.

If his advancing troops were discovered by Count Borg's troops, he would be in danger of being attacked on his back. However, who would have thought that Baron Duroux would directly order the troops to cross such a dangerous zone.

At two o'clock in the morning of the 7th, the coalition forces under the command of Baron Duroux had crossed the most dangerous area without danger and had reached a grove near the fortress of the Highlands.

Officers at all levels of the coalition forces have received orders from the Supreme Commander-in-Chief that they cannot take any action until they receive the order, not even going to the toilet, and those who violate the order can be dealt with directly by the squadron leaders.

Now, the vanguard units at the forefront of the coalition forces have been able to visually see the highland fortresses.

Count Borg was in the fortress now, and he had no idea of the impending catastrophe.

At half past two in the morning, Duroux gave the order, and the officers of all ranks of the coalition forces received the order of the supreme commander-in-chief, and the troops began to attack.

With the screeching sound of a few arrows piercing the void, the attack and defense of the fortress officially began, and this small fortress with complete defense facilities did not resist the attack of the coalition forces.

Byan led the army unprepared, and their fortress gates did not even hold out for twenty minutes before they fell.

Count Borg had already woken up, and the scout's successive reports had let him know that he was in a very bad situation, the opponent's attack was very fierce, and his side's defense could be broken at any time.

This Earl is not a mediocre person, he instantly understood the other party's intention, the other party wanted to directly break through his battle line, and then cut off the connection between the left and right fortresses, so that his troops could not meet each other.

Obviously, the other party's goal has been achieved, and he now has only two choices, the first option is to fight to the end, and at the same time notify the soldiers of the left and right flanks of the fortress, and flank the enemy troops in front and rear.

However, from the reports from various places, the Count of Borg learned that his group of recruits, apparently not ready for battle, had a well-built defensive line, which had been built in a moment's time, collapsed in the midst of the enemy's attack.

The second option, of course, is to retreat.

As a cautious commander, Count Borg was prepared for the back when he built this fortress, so he was not in a hurry now.

Obviously, it is impractical to fight to the end, and the soldiers of the fortress at this moment have no morale and cannot organize a decent counterattack.

Count Borg immediately ordered the troops to withdraw from the fortress lightly armed from the route prepared in advance from the rear of the fortress, leaving only five squadrons of soldiers to break the rear, and at the same time, he sent several messengers to inform the defenders of the fortress on the left and right to abandon their garrisons and withdraw as quickly as possible.

At this point, the battle has been decided.

This short battle of attack and defense of the fortress lasted less than two hours, and Baron Durou, with his characteristic and bold command, in just two hours, broke through the 8,000 troops of Count Borg on the border line of the Seku territory.

Although the number of casualties in this battle was less than 1,000, the results achieved were obvious.

There are many options that await Baron Duroux now, first, he can continue to order the troops to advance and let the front force force the main force of Count Borg.

Second, he should have decisively ordered an attack to destroy the living forces of the two enemy forces before the enemy troops were stationed on the left and right flanks and had no time to react.

Third, maintain the advantage of the status quo, establish a line of defense, and completely cut off the ties between the left and right forces.

Obviously, the second option is the best choice, the defenders of these two fortresses are the most elite soldiers of Count Borg, and now, as long as Baron Duru concentrates superior forces, he can completely annihilate these enemy troops at a very small cost, so that Baron Duru will have a huge advantage in the subsequent battle.

Baron Duroux was about to give the order, but the herald suddenly came to report that the soldiers of the garrisons on both flanks had withdrawn, one heading in the direction of East Corvinde, and the other burrowing into a nearby jungle.

Faced with this information, Baron Duru was not surprised, he immediately changed the order and let the troops move forward, with his current strength, as long as there is no problem with logistics and supplies, it will be okay to double the battle line.

At the same time, he sent out a large number of scouts to find out the location of the enemy unit that had turned into the jungle.

By daybreak, the 10,000 troops led by Baron Duroux had advanced the front fifty miles.

At nine o'clock in the morning, he ordered his troops to halt their advance and build a defensive line of several kilometers on the spot.

Baron Duroux spread out the map, and he looked at a small town in front of the map, the town of the Three Forks, which was particularly aptly named, and this town was an important transportation hub market town.

If you want your troops to advance, you must first capture the town, as it is the only nearby location that can be used as a logistics staging point.

However, Baron Durroux understood that the enemy commander must have understood the same truth. According to the spies, the town is crisscrossed by roads and streets, and houses and buildings are in a mess.

If so, the enemy army only needs a small number of troops to contain most of his forces.
