At night, in the battle hall of the Knight Academy.

For the first time, the leaders of the current forces in the city gathered to discuss the next battle strategy.

Donner first gave a formal introduction to Enriquez, and then explained the various preparations he was making.

Although he was the youngest and weakest of all the people present, he was also the most outstanding person since the beginning of the war.

With an army of 300 men, he annihilated 4,000 elite enemy troops, sabotaged the Thorns' plan to make a detour through the Tyder Mountains, and inflicted heavy losses on the Thorns' logistics in enemy-occupied areas. On two occasions, he almost turned the tide of the battle with the power of one person.

After retreating to Dorne City, he single-handedly enlisted such an amazing help as the Black Temple Mercenary Regiment to create a ballista that could locally decide the outcome of the battle.

Even Kane and the others were able to recover so quickly, relying on the potions he selflessly provided.

Therefore, when he finished introducing the preparations in the city, he raised his head and found that no one continued his words, but all of them were waiting for him to continue.

Obviously, everyone has subconsciously regarded him as the leader of the defense team.

Downer knew that this was not the time to consider humility, and he did have some general ideas about the war that would follow.

Abbot Deves said that there were about 40,000 men in the Thorns' march south, and that there would be about 20,000 troops to reach the city of Dorne, excluding those who were stranded in the provinces along the way. ”

Donner glanced at Devis, who nodded in confirmation and waited for him to continue.

"Our current strength includes five hundred elite knights of the Black Temple Mercenary Regiment, a thousand youth troops, and nearly a hundred knight magicians. Downer continued.

The more than sixty people who followed Dean Deves back to Dorne City, plus the dozens of wounded who were slowly recovering, totaled about a hundred, and these people were all elites of the original legion except for Captain Kaz and several of his knights.

"It seems to me that against 20,000 enemy troops, we have all the advantages except for the disadvantage of being small in numbers. ”

"First of all, our combat power is hidden, the strength of the Knights of the Black Temple, the power of the ballista, Captain Kane and Captain Kaz, the recovery of your injuries, these are all information that the enemy does not have. ”

"Secondly, we are more familiar with the terrain than the enemy army. ”

"Last but not least, Dorne was the last city they swept south, and they met little resistance along the way, so it is conceivable that the enemy must now be trying to take us in one fell swoop, and this mentality of underestimating the enemy and taking presumptuousness is exactly what we can exploit. ”

After analyzing the situation, Donner turned to Enriquez and asked, "Commander Enriquez, with your men, if you fight head-on, how many enemies can you deal with?"

After a little consideration, Enriquez replied, "If it were an army like yesterday's, a pair of ten would not be a big problem. ”

Commander Katz finally spoke: "Group operations, if you can create an overwhelming victory locally, can easily cause chaos and rout. ”

"Commander Kaz, even if the Black Temple Mercenary Regiment can kill 5,000 enemy troops, and the remaining 15,000 people escape, with our manpower, even if all of them are sent, they will not be able to catch up. Downer said.

"Are you trying to ......," Kaz asked, stunned.

"Yes, if we just repel the enemy. Downer replied, "Sooner or later, they will come back, and we will always be trapped in the city of Dorne." So we must annihilate them all before we can go north to support Cohenas. ”

"Sixteen hundred, 20,000 annihilated?, how many ballistas do you have?" Kaz asked, feeling that the young man in front of him was carried away by the successive victories.

"By tomorrow, there will be only fifty ballistas at most, and it will take two minutes for a trained soldier to shoot a round of three thousand bolts each. The range of the ballista is two kilometers, and two minutes is enough for the enemy's cavalry to run two kilometers - that is, even if the arrows are wound up in advance, the cavalry of the enemy army on the opposite side will shoot more than six thousand arrows in two rounds, and it is impossible to completely annihilate the enemy with crossbow arrows. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Devis.

"Abbot Deves, how long can you hold the city of Dorne without the Youth Legion and the Knights of the Black Temple?"

"Don't you mean by that?" said Captain Katz, furious, "Don't be arrogant!"

Dean Kane and the others also changed their faces slightly.

Dean Deves waved his hand and said, "Kaz, Donner didn't mean that, you listen to him." ”

Donner shook his head slightly, thinking about how these guys had become so psychologically fragile, but he didn't refute it, and continued to say calmly:

"Lord Dean, my idea is to release the Knights of the Black Temple in advance and drag the ballista to the city wall to hide. It's up to you and Captain Kane to defend the city, lure the enemy to attack, and when they are concentrated under the city, shoot with a ballista. I see that the enemy's fighting spirit is strong, and less than half of the casualties will not retreat, so that the ballista can shoot a few more rounds, and it can consciously destroy the enemy cavalry first. When they were scattered, they were outflanked and intercepted by the Knights of the Black Temple. ”

Donner glanced at Kaz and continued, "That's why I asked how long I could hold out without the Youth Army and the Knights of the Black Temple. ”

Captain Kaz's face turned red and he said, "Donner, I'm sorry for misunderstanding you...... The general of the defeated army, a little stimulation will ......"

"I think this plan works! We will fight for our lives, and it will be okay to stay for half a day. Dean Kane interrupted Kaz's lamentation and said loudly.

"It doesn't take half a day, I guess it can be enough for half an hour. Donner smiled and said, "Besides, it's better not to die anymore and fight back to Coennas, but only those of us are left." ”

"Haha, you're right! Dean Kane finally laughed out loud and said heartily. Donner hadn't seen him smile like this since he parted ways.

"There's still some preparation to be done. In order to ensure that the Thorns Army is the main attacker, we need to destroy a wall a little bit by ourselves, Dean Devis, can you leave this to you? Make a little mess, just break a small hole or two, don't destroy too much. ”

"Don't worry, I understand!" replied Dean Devis.

"Commander Enriquez, you can pull the team out of the city now, and if you encounter enemy troops, be careful to avoid them and don't let them find out. During the siege, you take care to keep your distance, and if they retreat, I hope that no one will escape. ”

"No problem!" Enriquez replied cheerfully, "To whom is the patrol tasked with?"

"Let's come!" replied Commander Kaz.

"Then let's split up, I'll have to go and modify the ballista. ”

......

A busy night.

At noon the next day, General Klee finally led an army of 30,000 thorns to the city of Dorne.
