On the east side of Fanxin Lake, the Red Flame Plain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
400,000 Brettan troops were stationed on the plain on the north side of the Red Flame Fortress, and the commander of the Bretan Army, Feng Sis, led the army to cut off the road from the Red Flame Fortress to the hinterland of the Kyrgynian Kingdom, and the 200,000 Gilgidian royal troops in the Red Flame Fortress had not been supplied for half a month, and according to the consumption rate in the fortress, the remaining grain and grass could probably support about half a month.
On the north side of the Red Flame Plain, a large Gilgidian army was gathering, and after learning that King Landry Pars was besieged in the Red Flame Fortress, the Gilgidian Prime Minister Halsen, who was located in the royal capital Cangyun City, ordered the 100,000 royal troops stationed in Cangyun City to rush to the Red Flame Plain immediately.
At the same time, Halsen issued an order to the lords of Gilgia to rescue the king, and soon, 200,000 Gilgidian troops were gathered on the Red Flame Plain, which consisted of 100,000 royal troops and 100,000 territorial troops sent by the lords.
The commander of the 200,000 reinforcements is the Duke of Dulaika, half a month ago, after the Thundering Fortress was broken by the Bretan army, the Duke of Dulaika, who was responsible for guarding the Thundering Fortress, was not killed by the Bretans, and under the desperate protection of the royal generals such as the fortress defense officer Carmeno and Nice, the Duke of Dulaika and thousands of soldiers escaped from the fortress.
The Thundering Fortress was lost, and the Duke of Dulaika was originally responsible for the dereliction of duty, but why could the Duke of Dulaika, who escaped from the fortress, still serve as the commander of the 200,000 Gilgidian army?
This is because the Gilgidian king Landry is besieged in the Red Flame Fortress, and the 200,000 reinforcements on the north side of the Red Flame Plain need a prestigious person to serve as the commander, and now in the Gilgian Kingdom, no one can be more suitable than the Duke of Dulaika, Dulaika is the younger brother of the previous king, and the uncle of the current Gilgidian King Landri Pars, although Dulaika has lost the Thundering Fortress, but in the Gilgian Kingdom, there is still no one who can compare with Dulaika.
In the big tent of 200,000 Gilgidian reinforcements on the north side of the Red Flame Plain, Duke Dulaika sat in the big tent, and it had only been half a month since he escaped from the Thundering Fortress, but Dulaika looked like he was twenty years old, and his original red hair was now beginning to turn white, with deep tiredness on Dulaika's face.
There were two rows under the tent, and on the left sat several generals of the royal army, General Carmeno, who had escaped from the Thundering Fortress with Duke Dulaika, and General Nice.
On the right side of the big tent sat four representatives of the territorial army, and Dorne Nolan, the nephew of the Marquis of Lewin, the lord of Ziyang City, was one of these four representatives of the territorial army.
"Lord Duke, yesterday our army launched a tentative attack on the Bretan army camp outside the Red Flame Fortress, but the enemy has been holding the camp and not coming out to fight our army. A royal army general stood up and reported to the commander, Duke Duraica.
"Of course they will not fight with us, now these 400,000 Brettan troops are located on the Red Flame Plain, our 200,000 troops are on their north side, and their south side is the Red Flame Fortress, in the Red Flame Fortress there is His Majesty the King and 200,000 troops, once they are at war with us, then His Majesty the King who is located in the fortress can lead the army to rush out of the fortress. General Carmenor, the former defense officer of the Thundering Fortress, spoke.
"These Bretans dug trenches outside the camp, put up wooden fences, built arrow towers, and planted magic stones, but they didn't want to fight us, and the enemy commander, Voncis Varuan, was bent on besieging His Majesty the King in the Red Flame Fortress. ”
The generals of the royal army in the Great Tent and several representatives of the territorial army agreed with Carmenor's opinion, in fact, everyone saw the intention of the commander of the Bretan Army, Voncis Varouan, the Bretans cut off the road from the Red Flame Fortress to the hinterland of the Gilgidian Kingdom, and Vonsis wanted to drive the Gilgidian king and the 20th army in the Red Flame Fortress to a dead end.
There is no need for Voncis to fight with the Gilgidian reinforcements led by Duke Dulaika, and Voncis does not dare to rashly fight with the reinforcements led by Dulaika, there are 200,000 Kyrgidian royal troops in the Red Flame Fortress, once Vonsis and the reinforcements under Dulaika fight, then the 200,000 Kyrgidian royal troops in the Red Flame Fortress can come out of the fortress, and the two sides will be sandwiched by the Bretan army on the Red Flame Plain.
"Lord Duke, I think we should gather our army and storm the Bretans' camp to see if we can capture the Bretans' positions. Dorne Nolan, the representative of the Purple Sun City Territory Army, stood up and said.
"Lord Dorne has a point..." "Lord Duke, I agree with Lord Dorne that we will storm the positions of the Bretans and force them to fight us. The generals of the royal army in the big tent nodded one after another.
Almost all of the generals and representatives of the territorial army in the Great Tent believed that only by launching a general attack on the positions of the Bretans and forcing the Bretans to fight with them could they rescue His Majesty the King in the Red Flame Fortress, but there was a representative of the territorial army in the Great Tent who had been silently bowing his head and fiddling with his hands.
The representative of the Gilgidian Territory Army is named Cicela Miró, who is only thirty years old and is the son of Richard Miró, the lord of Dawn City, and Richard Miró has his son Cicela with 20,000 territorial troops to rescue the besieged King.
As the representative of the territory army of Liyang City, Cicela only listened to the discussion of everyone silently and did not express a word, and in Cicela's heart he already knew in his heart that even if he launched a fierce attack on the position of the Bretans, it would not be of any use.
The commander of the Bretin army, Voncis Varuan, was known as the "undefeated god of war", and as long as Vonsis wanted to hold his position, it would be absolutely impossible for his own 200,000 troops to break through the enemy's position and force the enemy to fight him.
Sisera had personally visited the positions of the Bretans, which were dug deep trenches every few meters, and between the trenches there were wooden fences behind which thousands of Bretans archers remained.
The Gilgidian army had launched a tentative attack on the positions of the Bretans, but they did not penetrate deep into the enemy's positions before they were shot back by the archers of the Bretans.
The commander of the Bretan army, Voncis Varuan, was a formidable opponent, and Cicela knew this, and Cicela believed that the rest of the Great Tent knew about it, but in order to save the besieged king in the Red Flame Fortress, the Duke of Duraica would still order an attack on the Bretan army, if it was not possible.
Sure enough, as Cicela expected, the Duke of Duleka, who was sitting in the big tent, stood up, "Carmeno, early tomorrow morning, you will lead the army to launch a full-scale attack on the positions of the Bretan army, and see if you can break through the positions of the Bretan people. Duke Dulaika spoke. "Yes, Lord Duke. Camenor stood up and saluted.
