Chapter 135: The Great War is Imminent

Ten days later, in the Beacon Plain, two hundred miles east of Liyang City, 400,000 Bretan troops had arrived at the Beacon Plain after retreating from outside Cangyun City, the capital of the king of Gilgia. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As Meng Fan expected, the Brettan army did not attack Liyang City, which was recovered by the Gilgidian army, but withdrew straight to the direction of Lanyue City in the east, the cold winter of the Gilgian Kingdom is about to come, if the Brettan army cannot get the supply of materials immediately, then the 400,000 Bretan soldiers are likely to freeze to death in the ice and snow.

Sitting in a carriage pulled by four white horses, Christian, the commander of the Bretian army, leaned back in a soft velvet chair with a wine glass, and the attendant Harendt held the bottle in both hands and poured red wine for His Royal Highness Christian.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the ability of the Winged Tiger Lieton is nothing more than that, and all the grain and grass materials escorted by Lieton were burned by the Kyrgias. Harrent said as he looked at Prince Christian, who was sitting next to him.

"Winged Flying Tiger? Hmph, it's just a false name that has been touted by others, just like that guy from Vonse. Christian took a sip of red wine and said with disdain on his face. "If he hadn't lost the grain, grass, and supplies this time, then our army might have taken Cangyun City. When I get back to Lanyue City...... Then hold him accountable for losing supplies. Christian snorted.

"Your Highness......" General Orlando rode to Prince Christian's car, the window of the carriage opened, "General Orlando, what's wrong?" Christian, the commander of the Brettan Army who was sitting in the carriage, looked at Orlando outside.

"Your Highness, the spies have come to report that there is a Gilgidian army thirty miles ahead......" General Orlando began, "Gilgidian army!" Christian's face changed, "How many of them are there?" asked Christian, leaning over the window.

"According to the estimates of the spies, there are at least more than 100,000 horses. Orlando replied, "More than 100,000 horses...... There shouldn't be so many troops in the Kingdom of Gilgia except for Cangyun City, isn't it...... The royal army in Cangyun City has come out?" said Christian in thought.

"Your Highness, this Kyrgyz army should be the royal army in Cangyun City, and the spies saw that this army uniformly uses the banner of the Kyrgynian royal family. Orlando said as he looked at His Royal Highness the Prince in the carriage.

"How are these Gilgidian armies moving?" Christian continued, "Your Highness, the Gilgias are arrayed on the Beacon Plains...... They seem to want to stop our army. Orlando said.

"Intercept our army?" Christian was stunned for a moment, "these Kyrgias have successfully attacked our army's supplies, and their tails have been cocked to the sky, since they want to intercept us, well, I'll let them give it a try." Christian threw up his head and drank the wine from his glass.

"General Orlando, tell the army to march forward, and we will crush this Gilgidian army on the Beacon Plains. Christian ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness. "Orlando galloped away," His Royal Highness the Prince. In the carriage, Haront, the chamberlain, looked at Prince Christian in front of him with a wine bottle.

"These Kyrgyians are really too self-defeating, more than 100,000 people are going to confront my 400,000 army head-on, I must completely destroy this Kyrgynian army, this army is the only remaining strength of the Kyrgyz royal family, as long as they are annihilated, the Kyrgyz Kingdom will not have enough troops to resist our army. Christian's eyes flashed with excitement.

Harent, the attendant officer on the side, also showed a joyful gaze, and put his arm around his attendant officer with one hand, and Christian passionately kissed the handsome Harlant in his arms.

In the Beacon Plain, the 120,000 Kyrgynian troops were neatly arrayed, and at the rear of the army, Meng Fan, the commander of the Kyrgyz Army, rode on a black war horse and watched the army in front of him.

"Field Marshal Claude. "The Grand Commander of the Royal Praetorian Guard, Asta, came to Meng Fan's side. "According to your orders, Marshal Claude, our 120,000 men and horses have been lined up in ......the Beacon Plain," Asta reported to Meng Fan.

"Well, very well, General Asta, it is up to you to command the army at the front against the attacks of the Bretans, and without my orders, even to the last man will not be allowed to retreat. Meng Fan said.

"Marshal Claude, our army has only 120,000 horses, and the Brettans have 400,000 troops...... I'm afraid that our army's defense line won't last long. Asta said with some embarrassment.

It is difficult to make the soldiers fight to the death on the battlefield, once the enemy's attack is fierce and the formation of their own side is disrupted, the soldiers will definitely scatter and flee, survival is not only animals but also human nature.

"General Asta, it's up to you to do what you can do, and you have to try not to let the Brettan army break through our defenses. Meng Fan looked at the commander of the royal Praetorian Guard in front of him and said.

"Marshal Claude, please rest assured, I will definitely defend the line to the death......" Asta saluted Meng Fan, regardless of whether the soldiers would escape or not, as a commander, Asta could not retreat, even if Asta escaped, according to the laws of the Kingdom of Gilgias, the army commander who escaped on the battlefield would be executed afterwards.

"Lord Claude, General Asta's task is very difficult, 120,000 troops have to face the attack of 400,000 Bretan troops. When Asta left, Tiberius, who was following Meng Fan's side, spoke.

"I don't need him to hold it up for too long. Meng Fan turned around, "Tiberius, is General Coolum ready?" Meng Fan asked, "My lord, General Coolum has entered the woods to the north as you ordered. Tiberius gestured to a grove of trees on the north side of the Beacon Plains.

"Well, inform General Coolum so that he can see my signal and start moving. Meng Fan looked at the woods to the north and nodded.

Kulum is a fierce general in the Gilgidian royal army, and General Kulrum, who is trusted by King Landry Pars, has the strength of an earth holy warrior, and Meng Fan has given Kulum a very important task in the upcoming battle.
