Chapter 26: Chitz
"Hello, honorable nobleman. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Parker and Meng Fan hurriedly saluted the yellow-haired man in front of them, "Cody, you see, this mountain col is really open underneath. The yellow-haired man standing at the top of the mountain looked at the col below and said with a smile.
"Yes, my lord, there is a small village and farmland in the col. The silver-armored knight behind the yellow-haired man pointed to a place and said, "Oh, is it?" The yellow-haired man in the blue brocade robe looked in the direction the silver-armored knight pointed.
"My lord, are you from the Miro family?" Meng Fan, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke, and the yellow-haired man turned around in a little surprise, glanced at Meng Fan, and then turned his head to look at the flags held by the guards behind him. "Did you recognize those flags when you saw them?" the yellow-haired man pointed to the flags that were held in the hands of the cavalry guards.
"Yes, my lord, the Miro family of Liyang City uses the Gilgia Snow Bear as their family crest, my lord, these guards who came with you should be holding the Snow Bear Banner in their hands. Meng Fan recognized the flags embroidered with the Miro family crest.
The family crest is the coat of arms that represents a family, and most of the nobles above the count level in the Kingdom of Gilgia have their own domains, and these nobles who own the territory can request the king to make a family crest, and they can know which nobleman in the kingdom is just by seeing the family crest.
The city of Dawn, located in the south-central part of the Kingdom of Gilgias, is now ruled by the Miro family, whose crest is a pure white Gilgidian snow bear.
At first, the yellow-haired man thought that Meng Fan and Parker were villagers in this nearby village, and most of the farmers who had been farming for generations were neither literate nor knew the family crest used by the nobles, but Meng Fan knew his family's family crest.
"That's right, I'm from the Miro family, are you two villagers around here?" the yellow-haired man asked, "No, we are soldiers of the Purple Sun City Territory Army. Meng Fan replied.
"Soldiers of the Purple Sun City Territory Army?" the yellow-haired man's eyes showed a look of suspicion, "You came to the Red Flame Plains with Lord Dorne Nolan?" "Yes, Lord Dorne brought us to the Red Flame Plains to fight the Bretans. Meng Fan nodded.
"Why are you hanging around here today when Lord Duke ordered an all-out assault on the Bretans' positions?" asked the silver-armored knight standing behind the yellow-haired man.
"Lord Knight, there is no point in attacking the positions of the Bretans, even the two of us will not change the tide of the battle. Meng Fan replied, "Oh, you don't think there's any point in attacking the positions of the Bretans?" the yellow-haired man's eyebrows raised.
"The Bretans dug deep trenches in front of the camp and set up dense wooden fences, and the enemy commander placed thousands of archers on the positions, and it was useless for us to attack the positions of the Bretans head-on, and we could not break through the enemy's positions at all. Meng Fan looked at the yellow-haired man in front of him, "The Duke is just to fulfill his loyalty to His Majesty the King, I think the Duke himself probably knows that such an attack is not of much use." ”
The yellow-haired man didn't expect an ordinary soldier to think of so many things, "What's your name?" the yellow-haired man opened his mouth to ask Meng Fan's name, "Claude." Meng Fan replied, "Claude, I am Cicela Miró, the son of Philip Miró, the lord of Liyang City, and I am now the commander of the Liyang City Territory Army. The yellow-haired man in front of Meng Fan revealed his identity.
"Sisera-sama, why are you the commander of the Territorial Army?" "Why am I here, you mean?" "Claude, like you, think that it is useless to attack the positions of the Bretans from the front, I handed over all the troops to the Duke, and I secretly ran here to relax..."
"My lord, we did not flee because we were afraid of war, we left the front line to find a way to defeat the Bretans. Meng Fan said, hearing Meng Fan's words, Cicela and the silver-armored knight behind him both showed a look of surprise, Cicela thought that Meng Fan and Parker were two deserters, but he didn't expect that he was wrong again.
"You're here to find a way to defeat the Bretans?" asked Cicera in disbelief, "Yes, my lord, and I've found a way to defeat the Bretans. Meng Fan's words made Cicela's eyes widen.
"It is Sisera Miró who stands before you, and you are responsible for your words. The silver-armored knight standing behind Cicela said loudly.
"I know that I will never talk nonsense in front of Lord Sisera. Meng Fan looked at the silver-armored knight and said, "Can you, tell me how to defeat the Bretans?, Young Soldier?" said Cicela, looking at the black-haired man in front of him.
"Absolutely, sir. Meng Fan turned around and pointed to the west, "My lord, there is a river five miles away on the west side of this mountain col, the Verne River. ”
"Well, Verne I know. Cicela nodded, "My lord, we can dig an artificial river channel and bring the water of the Verne River into this col..." Meng Fan pointed to the col below.
"Bring the river into this col?" Sisera stared at the col in front of him, "My lord, this col is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and in the direction of the Red Flame Plain to the east is a rocky mountain that is not very solid, and once the river fills this col, the water will break the stone mountain and flood towards the Red Flame Plain. Meng Fan told the yellow-haired man in front of him what he was thinking.
Sisera quickly understood Meng Fan's strategy, and used the col as a natural reservoir, and the rocky mountain facing the Red Flame Plain was a dam, and when the water broke the dam, it would flood the entire Red Flame Plain.
It was a brilliant plan, and Cicela needed to see how feasible it was, as it would require the excavation of a five-mile-long man-made channel to divert water from the Verne River into the col, and there was not much time left for his side. "Cody, let's get on our horses and we'll go to Verne. Cicela turned to the silver-armored knight.
"Claude, if this method is feasible, I will report this plan you have come up with to Lord Duke. Cicela looked at Meng Fan in front of him, "If we can really defeat the Bretans, Claude, then you are the greatest hero in this war." ”
