Chapter IV

The generals who participated in the meeting secretly cried out in their hearts for luck when they heard the news that Ferdinand's 30,000 cavalry were ambushed on the northern front. If Li Yuxuan hadn't ordered the expeditionary force to stop its advance, then there would be no army in the world that could save the fate of the kingdom at this moment. Thinking of the consequences of this horror, everyone was also a little afraid. At this point, everyone was convinced by Li Yuxuan's command ability, and he established his prestige with his true performance.

"The other side has more troops than us, and it is a cavalry that is conducive to fighting on the plains, so we can only hold on to where we are and be patient with them!" Cambrai was the first to express his opinion.

"But what if we don't attack, what about the main forces of the kingdom besieging the Solang Valley?" Corinth objected.

Teucer turned his gaze to Li Yuxuan without saying a word, obviously pinning his hopes on him.

"We can't stay in Evot anymore and our target is still Hyde City. Li Yuxuan said.

"Teacher, do you mean that we take the southern route, which is far away?"

"No, not the southern route, but the north and the south. Li Yuxuan's words were difficult for everyone to understand.

"North and South?" Teucer scratched his hair, obviously not knowing what Li Yuxuan's idea was.

"Our forces are already weaker than the other side, and it is not enough to concentrate our forces, and we have to disperse our forces to advance in the north and south, isn't it self-defeating?" Cambrai couldn't figure out how Li Yuxuan, who seemed to be unusually shrewd just now, could come up with such a stupid plan.

"What is the purpose of our expedition?" Li Yuxuan suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Of course, to support the main forces of the kingdom besieging the Solang Valley, and to defeat the Newman army that invaded our country. Collins took it for granted.

"Then what are the first conditions for us to rescue the main force of the kingdom in the Solang Valley?"

"It is to capture the city of Hyde and open the passage to the western part of the kingdom. Teucer replied.

"Therefore, the two-way march I am talking about is not to divide our army into two, but to be real and virtual, and the ultimate goal is Hyde City. Li Yuxuan began to get to the point.

"One real and one false?" Teucer seemed to begin to understand what Li Yuxuan meant.

"Cambrai, you lead 10,000 regular troops and 8,000 reserves to leave the city of Ayvot this night, and return to the capital city of Seris as quickly as possible, and make all preparations to defend the city. Corinth, you are leading a regular army of 2,000 from the northern front to advance slowly, and you must slow down a little in order to disguise yourself as our main force. ”

Everyone in the camp looked at Li Yuxuan in disbelief, and they couldn't figure out what kind of mystery was hidden behind this large number of ground monster orders.

"Don't ask why, just do what I command. Cambrai, you have to remember that your army must travel at night and sleep day and night, and everything is secrecy first!" Li Yuxuan specially told Cambrai.

When both men had left the tent to arrange the operation, Li Yuxuan turned back to Teucer and told him the most important part of the plan.

"The two thousand infantry on the northern front is to attract Ferdinand's attention, and you and I will lead five thousand cavalry from the southern front to Hyde City as quickly as possible. ”

"5,000 cavalry?teacher, the city is defended by 10,000 regular infantry in Newingman, we attack the city with 5,000 cavalry, and most of them have not participated in offensive and defensive battles, how can we take Hyde City?"

"Of course, 5,000 cavalry is not enough for siege, but I think it is about the same for a decisive battle. We're not going to attack the city, but to fight the enemy, and you'll understand!"

"Then why did the teacher order the main force of our army to withdraw to the capital city of Seris?"

"Teucer, do you think our two thousand infantry will be able to hide from Ferdinand?"

Tokmo was silent, he already had the answer to this in his heart, but he was afraid that saying it would make Li Yuxuan unable to step down.

"You can't hide it. If Ferdinand had been deceived by us so easily, then he would not have been 'reichized', and Yankel would never have given him the key to victory in this war. ”

Li Yuxuan's affirmative tone puzzled Tork, since he couldn't let Ferdinand get into the scheme, why bother?

"The reason why I made two thousand Corinthian infantry disguise themselves as the main force is to tell him that he believes that our main force is on the southern front!"

"Won't he lead his 30,000 cavalry to raid the southern front?"

"Since I will send a fake main force to advance slowly on the northern front, it means that we already know the specific disposition of his army. Since his cavalry has moved from the shadows to the light, how can he rashly attack us? Aren't you afraid that we have set a trap for him to drill into it? The safest and wisest way he can take is to wait for the main force of our army to repeatedly attack the city of Hyde, and then he can return to the rear of our army by a super-short route from the northern front and form a situation of flanking our army. ”

"Aren't we still in extreme danger?"

"But the premise of forming a flanking situation is that we can't quickly take Hyde City, once our army captures Hyde City as quickly as possible, then Ferdinand will not be able to form a flanking posture against us. At that point, he will take the capital of Fabre directly from Serris, in order to cut off our supplies, and strategically form a two-sided attack on Hyde from the east and west. That's why I let Cambrai lead the main force back to Serres. ”

"By the time Ferdinand found that the main force of our army had withdrawn to Seris, his logistical supply would have been in a difficult situation, and our five thousand cavalry had already followed, and we would give him a two-sided attack to completely crush the 30,000 New Ingman cavalry. Teucer's face lit up.

Unexpectedly, Traucer comprehended his strategic intent so quickly, and Li Yuxuan was slightly surprised.

The reason why Li Yuxuan was willing to help the Fabre Kingdom deal with the invasion of the Newman Empire this time was that the biggest purpose was to control the expansion of the Newingman Empire and strike at the military strength of the "maritime power" in the western part of the mainland. He didn't want a strong opponent in the west of the continent to affect his plans.

And now look at this "apprentice" of his own, Tork Orlando. At only seventeen years old, he already has quite superb martial arts skills, and he also has a considerable talent in military strategy, so it seems that he should pay more attention not to another evil shark after he defeats a divine dragon. Although this evil shark is still far from really growing, it still makes Li Yuxuan feel a little worried, which is why Li Yuxuan let the New Inman Imperial Army go when the war was close to victory.

At this moment, Teucer didn't understand Li Yuxuan's thoughts at all, and he was still excited that he could comprehend the teacher's strategic intentions, but he didn't know that the teacher in his eyes had listed himself as a potential opponent.

The historical facts that happened later confirmed what Li Yuxuan thought in his heart, the first country to stop the pace of Yuxuantian Empire's westward expedition was not the "maritime power" Newman Empire, nor the Prussian Empire, but the Kingdom of Fabre led by Tork Orlando.
