Chapter 383: Stratagem

It had only been two days since the strange queen had been sent off, and snowflakes were falling in the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt this time, the weather was already very cold, and Baron Camorra, who was sitting in the royal city of Windbrie, was extremely effective in the armament logistics he was responsible for, and a large number of baggage materials were transported to the front line.

The only thing that bothered Lorist was that a large number of defense works had to be completely halted due to the cold weather, especially in the event of snow. However, judging from the reconnaissance on the front line, it seems that the situation of the Fisabrun family forces on Bobiriqi Mountain is more difficult than that of this side, although they still insist on standing guard on the cliff to monitor the movements of the large camp on the Lorist side, but the number of people is reduced by half, and even the sneak attacks and harassment activities that come to them have completely stopped.

Just as Lorist summoned Bodfinger and Malek and other knights to ponder how to sneak attack and capture Pobiriqi Mountain in the big tent, Schward entered the big tent and shouted excitedly: "Your Highness, Brother El and Brother Reddy are back......

"Oh?" Lorist looked up, a smile on his face, he was very happy, he didn't need to worry about the two of them anymore, he had wanted to set out in a few days to find their whereabouts, where Tagger and Daddy Mobingham had rushed to the front camp with the golden eagle, and it was estimated that it would take five or six days to arrive. Unexpectedly, these two guys came back by themselves: "Where did they run, why did it take so long?"

They were both covered in dirty fur and their faces were blue and red, which had been blown by the cold wind after riding on their horses for a long time, and they seemed to be frozen enough.

"Your Highness, I, we're back......" said as he rubbed his hands.

"I wonder how worried we are about where you two have gone?Is it so difficult to catch two alive?Isn't the edge of Bobiriqi's mountain tightly sealed off by the enemy?Isn't it quick to get two patrols back there?" Lorist asked in a series of questions feigned anger.

"No, Your Highness, we didn't catch those patrols, it's so easy to startle snakes. We ran into the mountains. El said.

"What did you say, how did you get in the mountains...... "Lorlist, Bodfinger, Malek and the others were shocked. Mofiel: Have they found a shortcut into the mountains without alerting the guards?

"No, Your Highness, we just made a big circle and entered the Pudoliqi Mountains from the side of the Eastern Wilderness Province. El replied.

Led by El, Reddy added on the side, and the two quickly explained their journey into Mount Bobirichi. Ever since Lorist ordered them to catch two live guards to understand the situation on the mountain, the two of them always felt that catching two low-level patrolmen could not know the situation on the mountain very clearly, so they simply went around to the Eastern Wilderness Province, and happened to meet two knights of the Fisabrun family with forty or fifty soldiers escorting two wagons full of wounded medicine to Pobiriqi Mountain. On behalf of ten guards, he and Reddy attacked the escort team at night, and after obtaining a confession, they killed all of them and buried their bodies, and then entered the Puertorian Mountains under the guise of a team escorting the wounded medicine.

"You guys are so bold, don't you want to think about what the consequences will be if you are recognized? Don't laugh, Reddy, it's you, El Xiu's family heirloom is a dark attribute vindictive, plus people are not outstanding (El protests, my wife says I'm the best, what do you mean by not being outstanding...... So it's easy for others to ignore him, and it's normal not to know him. You won the first place in swordsmanship at the knightly tournament held by Grand Duke Fisabrun, and there are many people who know you, if Grand Duke Fisabrun left a few guards around him on the mountain, you will not be able to pass the test so easily. Lorist criticized.

"No, Your Highness, we asked the two knights who were escorting the wounded medicine. They say that only one of the 3rd Frontier Rangers remained on the mountain. Grand Duke Fisabrun abolished the Fifth Frontier Ranger Regiment and merged its personnel with the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment to complete the establishment of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment. The 3rd Frontier Ranger Regiment followed the Grand Duke of Fisabrun on the expedition to the former Duchy of Melain for the first two years, and has been stationed in the Southern Province ever since. And the Fifth Frontier Ranger Regiment was newly formed in the Eastern Wilderness Province, so I believe that there should be no one who knows me, and besides, I have added two more beards to myself, and it will be difficult for others to recognize me. ”

Reddy took out a fake mustache from his pocket and stuck it on his face as he distinguished, and suddenly he looked much older, and it was not easy for people who were not familiar with him to recognize him.

El said beside him: "Your Highness, those two knights have also been stationed in the Tiger Castle in the Eastern Wilderness Province, they were originally from the Duchy of Meleain, but they were relocated to the Eastern Wilderness Province, and because of their good performance, they were newly promoted to the knights of the Fisabrun family. They also did not know the people of the 3rd Frontier Ranger Regiment. This time, it was the Grand Duke of Fisabrun who returned to the castle and ordered the two of them at random, and asked them to send the medicine to the Pobiriqi Mountain first, which was simply tailored to our plan, and this made us decide to enter the Pobiriqi Mountain under the guise of them. ”

"Your Highness, you see, this is a map of the mountains we made. Reddy pulled out a piece of vellum paper from his bosom, and Schward took it and spread it out on Lorist's table.

The area of Bobiriqi Mountain is very large, and it looks like a broken eggshell from above, but these eggshells are cliffs in reality, but inside the mountain are vast mountains and forests, lakes and streams, which can be used as a viscount.

"Your Highness, except for the middle of the three forks leading to the Pobiriqi Mountain, the other two have been blocked by the forces of the Fisabrun family, and if we attack along these two forks, it will be a path of no return, and the further we go, the closer we will be to destruction. And the enemy also arranged a lot of traps and traps on this fork in the middle of the road, just like the second half of the mountain road, next to the deep valley, once we find that we are attacking here, as long as the enemy pushes on the mountain, the countless boulders piled up on this cliff will roll down, and no one can run at that time, this mechanism is very vicious.

Now there are only 46,000 men of the 3rd Frontier Ranger Regiment stationed on the Pobiriqi Mountain, and the Grand Duke of Fisabrun has returned to the Tiger Castle in the Eastern Wilderness Province with his guards and barbarian cavalry, and the commander of the 3rd Frontier Ranger Regiment is the family knight of the Golden Three Stars, Gallini Bailopt. I heard that he was the Archduke of Fisabrun when he was a playmate, and he was deeply trusted by the Grand Duke and had a calm and resolute personality, so the Grand Duke trusted him to entrust him with the defense of Pobiriqi Mountain......"

Lorist interrupted El's statement: "Archduke Fisabulun did not return to the castle of the tiger, but gathered hundreds of thousands of barbarian cavalry to ambush the hunting army in the province of Makinohara, severely damaged the hunting army, and then attacked the city of Pietro. However, the 23rd Battalion of the Guards, which guarded the city of Pietro, held them back and held out until reinforcements arrived. Ten days ago, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun saw that there was no hope of capturing the city of Pietro, and had withdrawn his army. This is what happens after you go on a mission. ”

"Hunting, the Huntsman Legion has been battered?" El asked, surprised.

"Yes, both Joe and Yuri were seriously wounded, and Pete was killed in battle. El, Reddy, after this matter is settled, I am going to let you and Reddy take over the affairs of the Hunter Legion and reorganize and train the Huntsman. But we won't be able to go back to our family territory until we've conquered Pobiriqi, and we're not going to be able to go back to our family's territory until we're done. Go on. ”

El nodded, signaled that he had a plan in mind, and pointed to the map and continued: "The garrison of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment in the Puertorichi Mountain is divided into four places, and a corps is arranged on the left and right sides, and they are responsible for patrolling and guarding the two blocked forks, and it takes about fifteen minutes to reach the cliff from the station on the mountainside to the cliff at the earliest, and sentry posts are arranged on each hill, and the guard is changed eight times a day, basically once every three hours, plus patrols. The defense was tight. It is difficult to climb the mountain from both sides. Because it was cold, they were preparing to build a guard post on top of the cliff as we left, so that the sentinels would be protected from the wind and cold.

In the middle is the large battalion of the 3rd Frontier Ranger Regiment, in which two corps are stationed. Since the fork in the road in the middle is open, the vigilance on this side is the strictest. If we look down the hill from the camp, we will feel that they have fewer guards, but in fact they have already built a sheltered cave on the cliff, and most of the guard team is in the cave. If there is a policeman, it will take less than ten minutes to reach the various defensive positions. So I think it's very difficult to attack the mountain from the front. ”

"The logistics battalion of the 3rd Frontier Ranger Regiment is located here. El pointed to the back half of Mount Bobirichi: "This is it, it takes half a day to get to the big camp in front." It was not only a warehouse for receiving supplies, but also a center for the defense of the latter part of the province facing the eastern wilderness of the Portolichi Mountains. Like the previous three forks, the Fisabrun clan forces also blocked the two forks on both sides, leaving only the middle one as a transportation channel for supplies. However, I found that the 3rd Frontier Rangers were very lax in their vigilance for the second half of the road, and only sent a patrol to patrol the cliffs of the passage for half a day, and did not stand guard on them at all. Perhaps they thought that it was their family territory, so they naturally didn't need to be guarded. ”

"I'm suggesting that we can make a big circle and make a surprise attack from the Eastern Wilderness Province, and I think there's a good chance of success. Reddy continued El's words, and then remembered one more thing: "By the way, Your Highness, the head of the fat logistics battalion when we left complained to us that the weather was getting colder and colder, and that there was still a great shortage of supplies for the winter. I hope that when we go back, we will urge the Grand Duke to deliver all the winter supplies as soon as possible. The only thing that is sufficient at the moment is food and firewood. If you don't bring in a lot of furs to make winter clothes, I'm afraid that it will snow, and all the soldiers will have to hide in the barracks to keep warm, and they won't even want to go out on patrol or anything. ”

Lorist nodded: "You two have done a good job, and if you two capture Pobiriqi Mountain, you two will be the first to take it." You've all heard El's report, what do you think now?"

Bodfinger smiled: "Your Highness, El and Reddy have indeed made great contributions. As they say, we can go around in a big circle, and if we don't get discovered by the Fisabrun spies, we can attack the back half of Bobiriqi. The inside of the Pobiriqi mountain is so big, and the logistics camp is so far away from the front camp, half a day's away, then even if it is discovered by the enemy, we can forcibly capture the logistics camp before the reinforcements of the enemy's front battalion arrive. As long as the logistics battalion falls into our hands, the 3rd Frontier Ranger Regiment will be an ant in a bowl and will never be able to run away anymore. ”

Malek thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, this offensive plan of Bodefinger is very suitable, but I think it will be better to implement it after a while. ”

"Why?" asked Lorlist.

"Because if we attack now, we will walk too slowly in a circle, and if we ride too much, it will be easy for the spies of the Fisabrun family to detect it. I think we can wait patiently for a while, and when the next few heavy snowfalls and the grasslands are covered with snow, we can use skis and sleds to march, I believe that the spies will not want to come out in that weather, and the 3rd Frontier Rangers will be more lax and careless. Malek explained.

Lorist laughed, "You're right, this strategy is right. But that's still a little bit worse, and we have to implement the suspicious tactics first. ”

"Suspicious?" Bodfinger asked curiously, "What's that?"

"Uh......" Lorist was almost choked by Bodfinger's rhetorical question, and glared at him angrily: "You think, now our camp is facing Bobiriqi Mountain, and you can see at a glance what is going on the mountain." We can't stay in the camp until the snow falls, and then swagger on our skis and go around in circles in Eastern Wilderness Province. Even though the enemy on the mountain doesn't know where we're going, they will be vigilant, and maybe they will be on the back hill. Since the commander of the 3rd Frontier Rangers, that Gallini Belott, is a well-established man, our actions must not arouse his suspicion.

Therefore, from tomorrow onwards, the battalion will transfer the heavy armor regiment of the Kenmath family to garrison it, while the Rock Legion will pack up and retreat backwards, so as to look like returning to the rear of Wodong, so that the enemy on the mountain will not be suspicious. Then you go around in a circle to reach the camp on the side of Tiger Ross, and when the snow is heavy, you will plunge directly into the back of Pobiriqi, capture Pobiriqi, and annihilate the 3rd Frontier Ranger Regiment!"

"But, Your Highness," El stood up, "there is a legion on the hill of Bobiriqi, and the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment is also a strong force. We only brought in a corps of the Kenmax family, wouldn't it be too big, maybe the third frontier ranger regiment on the mountain saw that there were few people defending under the mountain, and would suddenly come down the mountain to make a sneak attack or something, then we would lose a lot. ”

"No, I'll ask Count Philim to send two Pegasus legions to the camp as well. And now it's cold, and it's going to snow soon. The commander of the legion, Gallini Bailopt, would also consider whether the retreat of the Rock Legion would be a ploy set up by us to lure them down the mountain, and he should know that the snow will affect the speed of the light cavalry on a snowy day, and it will be difficult for them to retreat once they come to attack and be entangled by us. So I don't think he will easily send troops down the mountain. ”

Lorist stood up: "That's it, Schward, you take a team of guards to Tiger Ross, let Suremos bring his heavy armor regiment over, and by the way, tell Rose to let them expand the camp, and in a few days we will evacuate one regiment by one to him, so that he can be ready to receive him." ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Schward said. (To be continued.) )
