Chapter 437: Attack Plan
To the west of the Plains of Harvest, in a hilly area of the province of Andor in the Parris Empire, the Knights of Light camped on the banks of the Main River after a day's trek. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It's only a few hundred meters from the Main River, and it's very easy for the soldiers to get water and douch. Although there is a little bit of a concern about safety, this is the hinterland of the Paris Empire after all, and there should be no thieves who dare to touch the mold of the Knights of Light.
Since most of the trainee knights were on the battlefield for the first time, and all kinds of small problems constantly appeared during the march, the speed of the Knights of Light could not be fast at all, even if the Paris military urged them repeatedly, but Commander Ian ignored them.
The gorgeous sunset is magnificent in the reflection of the fiery red sunset. Commander Ian sat on his horse, looking up at the setting sun on the horizon, but his heart couldn't calm down at all. On this continent that has entered the era of peace, the Knights of Light, who have just finished the orc invasion war, are now in an embarrassing situation where they have no battle to fight, and if this situation continues, I am afraid that the huge Knights of Light will face the situation of being eliminated.
Counting all kinds of auxiliaries and attendants, the camp of the Knights of Light, which has more than 6,000 people, occupies an area of several miles in a radius, and the huge barracks are particularly noisy in the hustle and bustle of the recruits, and wisps of cooking smoke rise into the sky without any scruples, if they are in a state of war, such an act is tantamount to guiding the enemy in their direction.
"Sergeant Major, from now on, in strict accordance with the rules and regulations of wartime, it is necessary to make these recruits realize that we are not on an outing! The Knights of Light are not Boy Scouts!" Commander Ian looked at the state of the barracks with an ugly face.
"Yes! but ...... Your Excellency, Commander, although these young men are good young men, they have no experience at all, and I am afraid that it will take time to learn and adapt!" the sergeant major replied with a bitter face.
Captain Ian naturally knows, but in the strict military discipline of the Knights of Light, there is absolutely no room for any casual behavior, which is unacceptable to Commander Ian no matter what, these recruits must adapt as quickly as possible, otherwise they can only die on the battlefield in vain.
The barracks were not as free as they usually trained in the Church of Light, but Olivia, who was assigned a patrol to patrol the perimeter of the camp, was at least able to move around without being confined to the tent.
Although he believed that there would be no danger in Paris, Commander Ian, who was strict by nature, still sent a number of patrols to keep an eye on the surrounding environment.
In the Knights of Light, where there are few female knights, the beautiful and heroic Olivia has become the object of everyone's flattery. Even in the patrol, the patrol leader, who is a formal knight, is constantly looking for opportunities to talk to Olivia, making a group of patrol recruits behind him secretly pout and despise.
The patrol leader, who was only interested in currying favor with Olivia, and the unsuspecting recruits did not notice it, and in a bush they walked, a black shadow disappeared in a flash.
Thousands of meters away from the Knights of Light, on the other side of the Main River, Leo and his knights were stationed behind a hill, and because they were deep in the enemy's hinterland, they did not dare to raise the smoke to reveal their position, so they could only nibble on raw and cold dry food and pour a sip of cold water.
Just as Leo swallowed a mouthful of rough dry food and poured a mouthful of cold water to wash down the dry food that had scratched his throat, Momochi Yukishige appeared as if out of thin air and walked out from behind him.
"Lord Kai, the ninjas have found the Knights of Light's station, and they are on the other side of the Main River, three kilometers southwest of it, and the camp is well-guarded but a little lax, and it seems that most of the soldiers are novices. ”
Leo nodded, ordered Sidney and Gongsun Yuan and others to be called over, and drew a simple sketch on the ground with a tree branch under the explanation of Baidi Xingzhong, and then asked, "What do you think? Now that we have discovered the enemy's whereabouts, how should we fight this battle?"
"Night attack! Now that the enemy is in the dark, it is the best time to sneak attack!" Dicarus, the knight captain of the Rose Knights, was the first to speak, and the sneak attack was what the Rose Knights were best at.
However, after listening to the advice of his knight chief, Sidney's eyebrows frowned: "The intelligence of the ninja army shows that the enemy has sent a large number of patrols, even if we are running fast, I am afraid it will be difficult to avoid being discovered." ”
"Shall we strike at the east and west, with a small number of people deliberately letting the patrol find out, and after attracting their attention, the large force will surprise from the other direction. Gongsun Yuan also immediately put forward his own opinions.
"Well, that's a solution!" Leo nodded, continuing to figure out his sketch. His eyes lit up when he saw the two thick lines representing the Main River and the patrol represented by the dense pebbles on the perimeter of the barracks.
"Is there a patrol in the Knights of Light camp in the direction of the Main River?" asked Leo as he looked up sharply and looked at Hundred Grounds.
"Well, there are a few patrols, but there are not many of them, and they are not very vigilant. The answer given by Hyakuchi Yushige almost made Leo jump with excitement, and a bold plan quickly took shape in his mind.
"Sidney, how wide is the Main River, and how deep is the water?"
"Well, the Main River is just a small river, the river is only more than ten meters wide, and the water level is not too deep, probably the deepest part is not to the chest!" Sidney tilted his head and recalled.
"Good!" Leo clapped his hands and shouted hello.
"Are you thinking about ......?" Sidney looked at Leo with wide eyes, apparently guessing his thoughts.
"Well, that's a good idea, it looks like His Excellency the Grand Duke's army is overkill!" Dicarus, after all, was also a rose knight with a formal military education, and immediately reacted.
"Then tonight's battle plan is divided into three steps, first by Hyakchi Yukishige to lead the Iga ninja army to kill those patrols, and then all the knights swim across the river at night, since the river is only up to the chest, the war horses should be able to wade through. After crossing the river, the Rose Knight is responsible for raiding and creating chaos, and Hakuba Yoshiko is responsible for roaming around the perimeter and sniping all the enemies that have gathered in formation, keeping them as chaotic as possible so that we can fish in troubled waters. ”
Leo's eyes flashed with excitement and confidence, and his proper arrangement made everyone feel that tonight's battle was very good, and also made Sidney's eyes look at him with more admiration and admiration.
