Chapter 240: Advancement

In Horton's tent, the dim candlelight has been lit until now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I just got the news that Yusef's tribe has been in close contact with the guards of Black Iron Town in the strange woods, and I don't know what is strange in the strange woods, there are less than 2,000 people in Yusuf's tribe who can come out alive, and all of them seem to have lost their souls, even throwing away their horses and weapons.

Yusuf's crushing defeat was expected by him, but he didn't expect it to be defeated so quickly.

But defeat is defeat, these people are meant to die.

The only thing he felt sorry for was that such a good dog had died, and he had only tried out the three lines of defense in Black Iron Town. He had thought that Yusuf would be able to hold out until dawn and then go deeper into the temptation.

Horton took out the map, drew a third line in the strange woods with a solemn face, and pondered over it.

Don't think about it now, Horton judged that it was a one-off line of defense.

The line of defense is a sparse explosion in front of the strange woods, which appears to be a weapon for long-range control, and there is a certain error in accuracy.

While there may be some sacrifices here, as long as you act fast enough, you can break through with very few sacrifices.

As for the third, it should be the shameless sneak attack tactics of the guards of Black Iron Town. In the low strange woods, the cavalry could not exert half of their strength, but the guards of Black Iron Town had the kind of alert to the smaller blackbirds, and they were quick to act.

Coupled with their familiarity with the terrain, they have a great advantage.

Therefore, in order to break through the defense line of Renault, it is necessary to first carve out a large road in the woods for cavalry to gallop. Then let a large number of cavalry break through, and any conspiracy and trickery will only be wiped out in front of the army.

After analyzing this, Horton immediately made a decision.

"Horn, let everyone go at once, and rush to a kilometer outside the strange woods before dawn. Horton commanded in a deep voice, with a confident victory on his face, "Invite Colin and Carson, and call 1,000 cavalry, and we will set off immediately, and before Renault can react, open a large road for the cavalry." ”

Horn took the order, and although he was also a commander, he had always listened to his brother.

He trusted Horton's judgment, and even more in his cavalry, as long as there was a smooth road, there were probably not many people in the world who could stop them.

......

On the hill behind Black Iron Town, in the small combat headquarters, Renault was scalding a spicy hot pot with a group of people. After waiting for news all night, everyone was very tired, and Anna had fallen asleep peacefully on the soft bed next door.

Mia's eyes were red, and she tried to restrain the spiciness, if she usually screamed.

After winning the first battle, Renault was still in a good mood.

He scalded himself a piece of fresh hairy belly, so that his teeth felt the crisp and tender feeling, but he was thinking about the next step.

"Are you so unhappy about winning?"

Seeing the solemn atmosphere at the table, Mia asked casually, trying to ease the tension.

Renault smiled and put down his chopsticks, then walked over to the huge sand table and pulled out the flags representing the Yusuf tribe.

"It's just miscellaneous soldiers, and the Horton brothers used it to test me. ”

"If you know he's tempting you, why go to all the trouble of destroying them?"

Lei Fu couldn't help but smile bitterly, this was exactly what he had to do.

I know that the other party is a miscellaneous soldier, cannon fodder, and is used to step on mines, but if you let them go deeper, I am afraid that it will be more troublesome.

That's where the Holden brothers excel.

In the face of such an opponent, shells and sneak attacks alone will not stop them from advancing.

And the other party has not come forward until now, so he must be thinking of countermeasures.

Mia also came to the sand table, and she showed a stronger interest in sand table deduction than eating hot pot.

She pointed to the dense red banners between the mountains and said: "If I were Horton, I would definitely rush into the strange forest during the day, so that your escort army could only harass, but in the face of 50,000 elite cavalry, I am afraid the results of the battle will not be too ideal." ”

Then she pulled up all the blue flags representing Black Iron Town and planted them 5 kilometers away from Black Iron Town.

"The only way now is to retreat the convoy here, and then wait for Horton's cavalry to come into range, and carpet bombard it with howitzers and heavy mortars, so that Horton's army will be in disarray. Then he sent out the escort army to raid, relying on the mobility of the walking bird, and killed him by surprise. ”

In just one day, Mia learned Renault's set of terms, and analyzed his battlefield to the first place.

She has a clearer grasp of the situation in front of her than others.

It's just that Horton will really rush in regardless of what she said?

Renaud shook his head, dismissing Mia's opinion.

If Horton is so reckless, then he doesn't have to worry so much, and he can easily win by letting Grizzly Lauren take command.

He moved all the red flags in front of the strange woods, which was the edge of range of the heavy mortars carried by the Guards.

"I'm sure by the time the sun came out, Horton's army had moved to this position. ”

Then he took out a black flag from the box next to him and planted it in the strange woods.

"And if I'm not mistaken, the two fourth-order awakened people dispatched by the Black Sheep family this time must have a way to destroy the strange forest. ”

He couldn't help but think of the Demon Spirit Mire, if it was a fourth-order quagmire, it would not be difficult to carve out a broad avenue in the Strange Forest.

"Doesn't the Black Iron Army have mortars?" Mia said with some disbelief, "What kind of awakened person dares to break in and blow that piece out with cannonballs." ”

"Do you think my shells are unlimited?"

Renault shook his head.

During this time, the work was carried out overnight, and the small mortar shells were only 3,000 in stock, a third of which had been used during the day, and the remaining 2,000 were to be used against Horton's cavalry.

And Horton certainly had a way to deal with a mortar attack.

"Then what do you say, watching their awakened people swaggering over with their cavalry, or are you going to meet them yourself?"

With the protection of tens of thousands of cavalry, even if Renault personally goes out, I am afraid that he will not be able to touch the corners of the opponent's clothes.

It would be nice to know the demons of the two awakened ones on the other side.

When he was worried, Yuxi's figure suddenly appeared next to the sand table.

For this little girl who comes and goes whenever she wants, Mia is no longer surprised.

She held an uneaten grilled fish in her hand and said to Renault, "Mud, devour." ”

It turned out that she was on her way to spy on the enemy, Mia thought, but even if she could go deep into Horton's interior, how would she know about the other party's demon?

"They're destroying strange trees. ”

Have you really arrived at the Strange Woods?

Mia looked at the flag that Renault had just planted, and Renault's judgment was so accurate that it was inexplicably terrifying.

Looking at the already slightly white sky outside the window, Renault couldn't bear to wake up Anna, who was resting.

He had to see for himself how Horton was destroying the woods before he could respond accordingly. (To be continued.) )
