In a small tent in the Kyrgyz military camp, Meng Fan sat on a blanket, and on Meng Fan's lap there was a map of the Kyrgynian Kingdom, Meng Fan looked at the map on his leg with a serious face, and his fingers gently swiped on the map.
Outside the small tent, Parker sat on a small bench and wiped his boots. A tall, dark-haired man walked over, "Lord Commander." Parker hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Parker, Claude is in there. Bogula, the commander of the seventh battalion of the Purple Sun City Territory Army, opened his mouth and asked, "Yes, Lord Commander, Claude is inside. Parker set up the tent for Bogula.
Bogura stooped into the tent. "Claude. The tent was very small, and Bogula stood beside Meng Fan with a half-bowed waist, "Big brother." Meng Fan raised his head and found that his brother Bogula was wearing neat armor.
"Is Lord Dulaika going to attack the Bretans' camp today?" Meng Fan said, putting aside the map on his lap, "yes, in half an hour, a full-scale attack will be launched on the Bretans' position." Bogura touched the war knife in his waist and said with a smile.
"Big brother, do you think our army will be able to break through the position of the Bretans?" Meng Fan asked, "It's difficult, the Bretans don't intend to fight us at all, they have dug many trenches and placed fences on the positions, our cavalry cannot charge, if we rely on the infantry to advance, the Bretan archers will cause great damage to our army." Bogura said, shaking his head.
"Isn't today's attack pointless?" Meng Fan said, "There is no point in Lord Dulaika doing the same, after all, His Majesty is still trapped in the Red Flame Fortress." Bogula also looked helpless.
"Claude, you stay in the barracks today, don't follow us to the front. Bogura whispered to his brother, "Big brother, I may have to leave the barracks today. Meng Fan picked up the map of the Gilgia Kingdom on the side and said.
"Where are you going to leave the barracks?" Bogula looked at Meng Fan in surprise, "Verne." Meng Fan pointed to a location on the map. "Verne?" Bogula stared down at where Meng Fan was fingered.
"That's right, Verne, big brother, I want to go to this river. Meng Fan smiled and rolled up the map and put it in a cloth bag, "Claude, if you want to go there, do you need me to arrange a few people to follow you?" Bogura began.
"No, big brother, it's enough to have Parker with me, the Verne is in the rear of our barracks, and it is impossible for the Bretans to come there. Meng Fan shook his head and said.
"Claude, take care to protect yourself. Bogula pressed his brother's shoulder and said, "I know, big brother, you are going to attack the position of the Bretan people today, that is the dangerous place, big brother, you should pay attention to protect yourself..."
Half an hour later, Meng Fan and Parker rode out of the barracks and rushed towards the Verne River in the north, "Parker, do you know the Verne River?" Meng Fan, who was on a horse, asked Parker.
"Of course I know, there are only a few rivers in the Gilgia Kingdom, Fanxin Lake is the largest lake in the Gilgia Kingdom, and it is also the largest lake on the Qinglan Continent, and the water of the Verne River is injected into the Fanxin Lake. Parker replied.
"Claude, why do you suddenly want to go to Verne? Parker looked at Meng Fan, "Hehe, I looked at the map carefully, the Verne River flows through the north side of the Red Flame Plain..." Meng Fan whispered, "Parker, let's go to the Verne River first." Meng Fan patted the horse that sat down, speeding up the progress, and Parker hurriedly followed.
After more than an hour of travel, Meng Fan and Parker came to the Verne River, jumped off their horses, Meng Fan stood on the side of the nearly two hundred meters wide river, the river was turbulent.
"Parker, the river is rushing. Looking at the rushing river, Meng Fan said with joy in his eyes, "It's the rainy season now, and it must be raining heavily in the upper reaches of the Verne River." Parker led the horse to the side.
"Claude, you didn't come to this river just to see the water. Parker began, "Of course not. Meng Fan clasped his hands and stared at the river in front of him, "Parker, this Verne River may be able to help us defeat the Bretans." Meng Fan turned his head and said.
"Defeat the Bretans?" Parker's eyes widened in surprise, "Claude, opening a breach in the Verne River won't flood the Red Flame Plains." Parker guessed that Meng Fan might be trying to use the river to flood the Brettan army on the Red Flame Plain, although the Red Flame Plain is not a wide plain, but it can't be flooded by just opening a gap in the Verne River.
"That's right, just opening a gap can't drown the Brettan army on the Red Flame Plains, we must build a dam and rely on the impact of the dam to wash away all the Brettan troops on the Red Flame Plain. Meng Fan said.
"Build a dam? Claude, it's not a matter of a day or two. Parker looked at the dark-haired man in front of him with a puzzled face.
"No, we can take advantage of the natural terrain here. Meng Fan turned to look at a col on the east side of the Verne, which was a col surrounded by mountains, and the Verne River flowed above the col, and on the side of the col was the Red Flame Plain.
"Parker, let's go take a look at that col. Meng Fan pointed to the mountain col to the east, "Okay." Parker followed Meng Fan on his horse and hurried towards the col east of the Verne.
It took several hours for Meng Fan to completely understand the topography of this col on the east side of the Verne River, and standing on a mountain, Meng Fan looked at the col at his feet, which was like a natural reservoir, with a happy expression on his face.
"Parker, you see, the side of the col facing the Red Flame Plain is a rocky mountain that is not very strong, we just need to channel the water of the Verne River into this col, and when the water fills this col, the current will wash away the stone mountain facing the Red Flame Plain..."
"Pedal, pedal, pedal. There was a sound of horses' hooves coming this way, "Someone's coming." Parker looked up into the woods, and soon a group of guards in armor and banners rode up from the woods.
In the middle of the group was a yellow-haired man in a blue brocade robe. "Oh, there's a col here, Cody, tell everyone to stop, and let's rest on this hill for a while. The yellow-haired man in a blue brocade robe spoke.
A burly silver-armored knight at the front of the line raised his hand, the escort cavalry stopped, the yellow-haired man jumped off his horse, and the burly silver-armored knight also jumped off his horse and followed behind the yellow-haired man.
The yellow-haired man walked up to Meng Fan and Parker, Meng Fan and Parker were both dressed in ordinary robes because they were leaving the barracks, and the yellow-haired man thought that these two people were nearby villagers.
"Hello. While taking off the white gloves on his hands, the yellow-haired man greeted Meng Fan and Parker with a smile.
