Chapter 739: Divide the troops and go north

Since stepping into the chaotic land ruled by the Church of Light, the army under the command of Lin Ye has been overwhelming, and has captured the two cities of Ghost and Shura one after another. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, this is determined by a combination of many factors, such as the disrepair of the city walls, and the strength of the city's defenses, such as the speed of the march.

They arrived so quickly, before the news spread, that the defenders of the two cities were not prepared at all, and they were defeated.

Just when the Holy City thought that they would march towards the Holy City in one fell swoop and prepare to deploy defensive forces, the Far Eastern Army did not move.

In fact, after leaving Shura City, the Far Eastern Army split into two and began to move north, with Lin Ye and Lancelot each leading an army on a rapid march.

In just two days, they had arrived not far outside of Huangquan City, and chose to temporarily camp in a hidden valley to rest.

After a high-intensity and rapid march, it can be said that people are sleepy and tired, coupled with the continuous heavy rain, the sky is filled with low thunder, and the evening breeze is bleak.

The soldiers set up tents temporarily, lit a fire and boiled hot soup, which contained some wild vegetables and mushrooms collected from nearby, as well as dried meat that they carried with them, which was considered the standard food for long-distance marches, and only one piece was needed to replenish their strength, but it was a little difficult to chew it.

But when you go out to fight, how can you enjoy the food in the city, some soldiers lead the war horses to the river, and many of the war horses have symptoms of water and soil adaptation.

However, fortunately, there are veterinarians who have prepared the relevant drugs in advance, and they can still adjust after a short rest, which is a challenge for both people and horses.

Lin Ye coughed twice and looked at the vast rain curtain, the main force of the Far Eastern Army was handed over to Lancelot under the command, and he led the new army of the border army and the knights.

Cassius and Langton fought with him as his lieutenants, and their combat effectiveness was much inferior to the Far Eastern Army led by Lancelot, Roland, and Doragon.

According to the information we have obtained, there are six Legions of Light stationed in Huangquan City, which is much stronger than the two cities of Ghost City and Shura City they fought before, and this is a test for us. ”

Lin Ye squinted and tried to see the city standing in the rain through the rain curtain, but one was because of the topography, and the other was that it was too far away.

He couldn't really see it, so he could only take his gaze back, and use stones on the ground to try to set up a small deduction sand table to simulate the current situation.

"It can only be said that the timing of our coming is not the right time, if it is in normal times, there are not so many defenders stationed in Huangquan City, but now the Valley of Atonement in the north is said to have broken out a rebellion, and the Holy City urgently sent people to suppress it, so there will be such a number of enemies in Huangquan City. ”

Langton was a taciturn man in his thirties, he was tall and had a strong physique, and he was Landau's adopted son from an early age.

It can be said that he grew up with Ranmarok and Lancelot, and was younger than Ranmarok, but older than Lancelot.

He has been following Ranmarok to guard the court, and he is Ranmarok's right-hand man, when the royal capital fell and the Royal Knights laid down their arms.

Ranmarok orders his men not to resist, and he duels Lancelot to victory, and of course the end result is known to the entire Empire.

Ranmarok was defeated by Lancelot's holy lance, and the holy lance in Lancelot's hand still has some connection with the Church of Light.

What is less known is that this holy lance Lannusky was the one that Langmarok ordered Langton to give to his brother, and he also told Langton before the duel that he would definitely lose the duel, and let Langton lead the army to accomplish what he failed to do, and Langton did it.

"No, on the contrary, we came at the right time, because the Legion of Light has stationed troops in the two cities of Huangquan and Demon, and the more troops are stationed, the more complicated the situation in the north becomes, and this is just the opportunity we can take advantage of, as I said before, you can't win the church by fighting alone. ”

Lin Ye successively placed the stones in the position representing the north, and the two piles of stones represented the number of troops stationed in the Legion of Light.

"But even so, we lack siege weapons, and after dividing our troops, there are only more than 5,000 people, and the opponent has cities to rely on, but the number is two or three times ours, if they can't hold out, it will bring us a lot of trouble, so what should we do next?"

Ka Xiu looked at the simple sand table that Lin Ye had simulated, and stared at the circle representing Yellow Springs City, even though they had conquered two cities in succession.

But he knew that it was a complete surprise to his opponent, and that the garrison was far inferior to theirs, and that they still had weaknesses.

That is, there is no way to fight a siege war, and if the opponent holds the city and they can't take it for a long time, the situation will become very dangerous.

"To defeat the enemy, we have to hide our weaknesses and make full use of our advantages, siege is not our strength, we should avoid this, so we just need to wait for them to come out of the city, as long as we come to the open plains, it is easy to defeat them. ”

Lin Ye picked up the stone on the ground that represented the army under his command, and his hand began to move towards the north side, but it had not yet landed, and he was undecided.

"Wait for them to get out of the city, but knowing that the Plains War is no match for us, how could they rush out of the city? Is there any way to attract them? For example, send a small army as bait? But then they will not go out of the nest, I still don't understand a little. ”

Langton was a little puzzled, he didn't know what the young commander had in mind, and in his experience, he couldn't think of a way to win.

"Don't wait for them to leave the city, just wait on their way, and don't forget the purpose of their reinforcements in Yellow Springs, they are to suppress the rebellion in the north...... No, deep down, those people never belonged to the Church of Light, did they?"

"So it may not be accurate to use rebellion, it should be a riot, or a rebellion, since it is a suppression, they will definitely go out of the city, so we prepare in this place in advance, and we will wait for work, to defeat them, it depends on your efforts, but I am very much looking forward to it. ”

Lin Ye finally landed the stone not far north of Huangquan City, where there were several outlines he had sketched with branches.

It represents an open plain, and at the back of the plain is the vast Valley of Atonement.

"My lord, do you mean that our purpose is not to attack the city, but to intercept them? I understand, then let's set off as soon as possible, we must arrive here to ambush before they move, since you have formulated a strategy, then leave the rest to us!"

Cassius was stunned, he looked at the map, clearly noted the topography of this land in his mind, and immediately thought of several ambush locations.

Under the heavy rain, this simple sand table quickly fell apart.

The horses snorted, and after a short rest, the soldiers turned over on their horses again and continued north!
