Chapter 129: Strategy

Cangyun City, the royal capital of Kyrgynia, and 200,000 Kyrgidian troops entered Cangyun City, the royal capital, after retreating from Liyang City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

According to the information from the spies, Christian, the commander of the Bretan army who had just taken Liyang City, continued to move forward, and the 400,000 Bretan army was about to arrive in Cangyun City. Once the royal capital Cangyun City was conquered by the Bretan army, it would mean the destruction of the Gilgian Kingdom.

In the Duke of Cangyun City's palace, Duke Duraica, the uncle of King Landry Pars, sits in the study, with a black pipe in his mouth. Since Meng Fan, the lord of Blackstone City, is now the commander of the Gilgidian army, Duke Dulaika does not have to deal with the upcoming Bretans, and the responsibility of defending the royal capital is all on Meng Fan.

"Lord Duke," Carmenor, the general of the royal army, walked into the study and saluted the red-haired man sitting at the desk, "Sit down." Dulaika, with her pipe, stretched out her hand to gesture.

Carmeno sat down at the table, "Carmenor, what are the arrangements for that kid Claude after entering Cloud City?" Dulaika asked as she took a puff of her pipe.

"Lord Duke, Marshal Claude ordered the soldiers to strengthen the city defenses of the royal capital, and there is no other arrangement. Carmeno replied.

"Just fortified the city defenses?" Dulaika held her pipe, "Does this guy think Claude can win this war by reinforcing the city defenses?" Dulaika had an annoyed look on his face.

"Of course, passive defense will not win the war, Lord Duke, I think Marshal Claude must have made other plans. Carmeno said.

"Other plans?" Duraika stared at Carmeno, who was once the defense officer of the Thundering Fortress, and Carmeno, a general of the royal army, was a close confidant of Duke Duraika, and Carmeno had absolute loyalty to Duke Duraika.

"Lord Duke, do you remember that two months ago, Claude transferred 50,000 troops from Lanyue City. "Well, Claude sent someone to ask me for troops, and I sent Nice over with fifty thousand troops...... "Duraika nodded.

"Later, when Claude came to Lanyue City, he only brought 20,000 troops from Blackstone City, 50,000 troops from General Nice, and 30,000 troops under General Oram who was originally with Claude, and none of these 80,000 royal troops came with Claude......," Carmeno continued.

"Lord Duke, I think these 80,000 royal troops should have been deployed by Claude somewhere between the Red Flame Fortress and Lanyue City......"

"What is he doing hiding Nice, Oram's army there?" Dulaika asked with a frown, "Lord Duke, I have thought carefully about Claude's actions in the past two months, Claude has abandoned Lanyue City and Liyang City one after another, and retreated into the royal capital Cangyun City with his army, judging from the performance of Claude Kuru, the lord of Blackstone City, this person is by no means a cowardly and stupid person, and his every step should be carefully considered.

Lord Duke, we have held on to Lanyue City for a month, and we have defended Liyang City for another month, and now our army has withdrawn into the royal capital Cangyun City, and this is exactly November......" Carmeno analyzed the actions of Claude Kuru, the commander of the Gilgidian army, for Duke Duraika.

"The Qinglan Continent will begin to enter winter in November, once winter comes, the Gilgian Kingdom will become the coldest country in the Qinglan Continent, the Bretan army is attacking the Gilgia Kingdom in the summer, I think the Bretan army should not have brought enough clothes and quilts to protect against the cold, the Bretan Kingdom will transport the winter clothes, grain and grass supplies to the front line in the near future, and we only need to cut off the supply line of the Brettan army...... Then the Bretan army will collapse without a fight. Carmeno said.

Carmeno is a general of the Gilgidian royal army, and Camenor, who once served as the defense officer of the Thundering Fortress, knows a lot of military tactical knowledge, and Carmeno has seen the combat ideas of Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilgidian army.

Slowly picking up the pipe, Dulaika took a few hard puffs, "Claude, this guy...... I really have some skills. "Dulaika has always been angry about Meng Fan, the commander of the Gilgi Runner-up Army who replaced him, abandoning Lanyue City and Liyang City, and now after listening to Carmeno's analysis, Dulaika has to admire Meng Fan's strategic vision.

"Lord Duke, Claude Kuru's ability to fight and scheming is a big hidden danger to you. Carmeno spoke.

Dulaika, who was sitting in a chair, puffed out a puff of white smoke from her mouth and looked up at Carmeno, "You don't have to worry about this, Claude...... He didn't have long to jump. Dulaika said with a smile as she poured the ash from her pipe into a tin can.

"Lord Duke, have you already figured out how to deal with Claude?" asked Camenor in a low voice.

"You don't need me to deal with him, Claude, the lord of Blackstone City, is indeed a smart man, but he is too arrogant and conceited, not long after becoming the lord of Blackstone City, he annexed the surrounding Coldwater City and Giant Wood City, and then dealt with the dwarves of the Fallen Pine Hills, not long ago, he hired the army of the dwarves to go out to conquer the Kingdom of France without reporting to His Majesty the King, like this kind of unruly and reckless person, how could the king let him live for a long time. Dulaika said as she pulled a tobacco leaf from the cloth bag on the table.

"Well, Lord Duke, you are right, Claude has too much desire for power, and His Majesty cannot find a suitable person to appoint him as commander of the army. Carmeno nodded.

He re-lit the pipe in his hand, took two hard puffs, and spewed a puff of white mist into the air, "No matter who wins or loses this war, when the war is over, it will be the day of Claude Kuru's death." Dulaika said with a sneer.

——————————————————

On the wall of Cangyun City, Meng Fan, the commander of the Kyrgynian army, stood with several generals of the royal army, including the commander of the royal guard, Asta, the most trusted by the king in the Kyrgyz army, and General Kurum, who had the strength of the earth holy warrior...... Among the generals standing in front of Meng Fan, only the commander of the Black Rock City Territory Army, Gruya, was considered a close confidant of Meng Fan, and the other generals were just obedient to the identity of the army commander that Meng Fan now had.

Therefore, Meng Fan was also very polite in his attitude towards these royal generals. "Marshal Claude, the 400,000 Bretin army will arrive in Cangyun City in two days. Asta spoke, the Grand Commander of the Royal Praetorian Guard.

"Well, it's good that they're here, and I'm worried about what if they don't. Meng Fan said with a smile, the optimistic attitude of the commander of the Gilji Runner-up Army made these generals puzzled.

"Marshal Claude, the Bretan army is 400,000 strong, and we only have 200,000 troops in Cangyun City...... a royal general said worriedly.

"Rest assured, generals, I have already thought of a plan to deal with the Bretans, who will not only fail to capture the royal capital, but will also annihilate them all in the territory of the Kingdom of Gilgias. Meng Fan said confidently.

A crystal snowflake slowly fell from the air, his right hand was shrouded in long sleeves, Meng Fan stretched out his left hand to catch the white snowflake, "It's already snowing." Meng Fan looked up at the sky.

"Lord Claude, November is officially winter on the Qinglan Continent, the Gilgia Kingdom is the northernmost human kingdom, in the next four months, most of Gilgia will continue to snow, and the temperature will be lower the further it goes, and in December and January of the following year, the temperature near Cangyun City will be as low as minus thirty degrees. Tiberius, who was standing behind Meng Fan, spoke.

"Haha, that's great news, Tiberius. Meng Fan looked back at his most powerful subordinate and said with a smile.

The royal generals who were standing around saw that there was not a trace of tension about the approaching war, and Marshal Claude was a little confused.
