Chapter 68: The Pre-War Conference
Success always comes for those who are prepared, the Lord's Mansion in the center of Fort Tira. The assembled Nord nobles were there looking at the people on the throne, waiting for instructions.
As a military novice, Mia Haraus really did not disappoint everyone, and the proposal he put forward was as bad as ever, and this was already the second meeting.
"How about directly assembling forces to attack Parabun and occupying Parabun?" Mia Haraus, who was sitting on the throne, was dressed in a military uniform and waved Fang Xuan there.
Aside from the support of the leader of the army she leads, no lord supported her proposal. Instead, he said it irresponsibly.
"Not good!"
"So what advice do you have?"
"Queen, we should make peace with Nord first, and then attack Svadia III with all our might." An elderly nobleman got up and suggested. It's just that everyone knows that this resolution will be difficult to pass, because the prescient condition for negotiating peace with Nord is to hand over the Tirabao owned by Zhang Yuan.
"Bo Rusa, this is a bit difficult, let's not talk about Sir Zhang Yuan's exploits, handing over Tirabao is equivalent to not recognizing Sir Zhang Yuan, even for the position of Tirabao, we can't hand it over." A big man with a Chinese face stood up and asked, the elderly nobleman who had just spoken.
"Of course I know that's the case, so do you have any good ideas? Salino. The nobleman known as Borusa once again asked the nobles of the country.
"Hey, I don't have any good ideas, so Kuzan, do you have any good ideas?" Salino, a nobleman with a national face, had no choice but to ask a nobleman who started it.
"Then it goes without saying, just hit Nord and his girl." Kuzan is so straightforward. Immediately, many nobles were caught in the controversy between Svadia III, who fought first in Paraven, or Nord first.
In the midst of the controversy, the guards at the door shouted "Sir Zhang Yuan arrives!" ”
Zhang Yuan, who went to promote trebuchets and bed crossbows to the soldiers of the various lords' armies, was warmly welcomed as soon as he entered the door.
"Oh, dear Sir Zhang Yuan, thank you for guiding my army."
"Praise you, Zhang Yuan greeted me directly if he had something on the battlefield." Listening to the tone, you know it's Kuzan.
"Zhang Yuan......
“……”
By the time Zhang Yuan had finished coping, it had been half an hour later, and Mia Harlaus asked the question again, this time whether to hit Paraven or Nord first.
"Do you still need to study this? Playing Parabun gives Nord an opportunity, and playing Nord gives Paraven the time to prepare, I mean to hit Paraven first, and Ding Ruierdian. As for the Nord side, we don't take the initiative to attack, and it is enough to leave a team to deal with Nord from time to time.
With this arrangement, we can defend on a mobile basis.
Mobile defense is the exchange of space for time, so that the enemy is damaged, so as to protect the strength of your own army. Fight back with a point after being attacked. ”
"No, what if several Nord forces attack?"
"Then our defenders will hold the city and wait for rescue, and at the same time, we must form an alliance with Vekia, and the two families will divide the Nord." Zhang Yuan was really not shocked, and his words directly shocked everyone.
"What? An alliance with Wikia? These abominable savages. ”
"We first formed an alliance with Vekia and implemented the tactic of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, so that Vekia would take the lead in attacking Nord and let them both consume their military strength. After they were almost done, we came out strong. As for the fact that we only need one of our detached divisions to get out of Fort Tila and enter Nord, we can create signs of fighting, so that Vekia won't be in trouble with us.
Another point is that the occupation of Nodby by Vekia will definitely be opposed by the Nord people, and there may be constant fighting, which can better consume Vikia's strength.
But we are easily accepted by the people when we defeat Vecchia, after all, Nord soil is originally our Raldian. ”
"Not bad"
"This plan works"
……
"All of Calradia is ours." After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, more nobles were discussing there. Finally, Bo Rusa interjected
"This is possible, but who else but Sir Zhang Yuan can do it?"
"That's right, what about this?"
With Borusa's proposal and Kuzan's conformity, many nobles looked at Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan, who felt that he had sold himself, had no choice but to agree there
"I'll do this task."
"No way!" Queen Mia directly rejected Zhang Yuan's proposal.
"Zhang Yuan, although the equipment you designed and manufactured and the tactics of your army are popular in the army, only you can give full play to their full strength. What will we do if you stay on Nord? ”
Although Miya's position is not bad, but this brings a lot of embarrassment to Zhang Yuan, now the nobles are not very enthusiastic about themselves, and they are commanding the whole army, isn't this unpleasant for themselves. Although he saw that all the nobles greeted him cordially when he first came, Zhang Yuan knew that these nobles looked down on him from the bottom of their bones, and they were just acting on the spot, so how could there be any friendship between the nobles? Some are just deceitful and betrayal.
Just like now, these nobles here were originally loyal to Svadia III, but Mia Haraus proposed better conditions and they turned to Mia, isn't this a betrayal, betrayal of Svadia III, who has sheltered them for a long time. However, this has nothing to do with Zhang Yuan, Miya has already arranged a way to deal with them, that is, after unifying Rui Erdian, give other noble territories to ordinary people to gain their support, and then use the power of the people to forcibly disperse their army, and even land and power.
"I'd better stay and defend against Nord."
In the end, Zhang Yuan still took over the most important part of his plan, so that Mia could safely lead the other lords to Paraven and Swadia III to fight it out.
However, when all the nobles were about to leave the conference room, Zhang Yuan asked each nobleman to leave him with ten veterans. The reason is that the defenders of Tiraburg suffered heavy losses in the last war with Nord, and the quality of the recruits is too poor, so let them help and keep some veterans with good combat power to train the recruits.
Because there were not many people, it was ten, and all the lords helped under Mia's lead. In this way, Zhang Yuan easily obtained 150 veterans, all of whom had been on the battlefield and killed the enemy. Coupled with the defenders of Tirabao and the newly recruited recruits, Zhang Yuan easily broke through three hundred, reaching three hundred and thirty people.
After Mia led the noble coalition to leave, Zhang Yuan arranged military assignments, Manstein led 130 men to garrison Tiraburg, and the remaining 200 soldiers followed Zhang Yuan to the border to hide, although they were ready to engage the Nord army.
There are 100 cavalry among the 200 people who followed Zhang Yuan's concealment, which Zhang Yuan did not expect, those nobles are really generous, and it may be for the sake of face, seeing that someone arranges cavalry, more nobles will leave cavalry to help.
In addition to the cavalry, the remaining 100 men were divided into three parts, three catapults escorted by 30 people, 30 sword and shield men carrying ladders to charge the carts, etc., and the remaining 40 crossbowmen. Of course, the rush is for hitting the city gate, and it is natural that Zhang Yuan designed it and made it in Tilabao.
