At dusk, an army of more than 2,300 soldiers led by a coalition of nobles quietly broke away from the British legions, because the nobles were dissatisfied with King Arthur and fearful of the unprecedented size of the enemy's forces. Pen & Fun & Cabinet www.biquge.info decided to retreat before Great Britain officially started war with the enemy.

The withdrawal of the Noble Alliance made Great Britain's already weak forces even thinner, and the large army of 8,000 men was reduced to only three corps in one go.

The mixed army of King Pullen led by Char is undoubtedly the main force of the three major corps, followed by the two infantry regiments led by King Arthur himself. However, the two code names are "The First Lion Regiment of the Royal Capital" and "The Second Nova Regiment of the Royal Capital", and only a small number of soldiers are veterans, and the remaining more than 60% are new recruits.

King Arthur's Lion Corps and Nova Corps are all recruits like Char's mixed corps, accounting for a large proportion, but the difference is that Char's troops have received a variety of modern military training, whether it is white-knuckle combat or hand-to-hand combat ability, it can be described as an elite class, plus sufficient meat and nutritional conditioning to make the soldiers' physique more robust and powerful.

On the other hand, King Arthur's Lion Legion and Nova Legion are extremely shabby.

The "GWB", an armed logistics department created by the city of Puron at a great cost of money and manpower, was created specifically for the war effort. At present, there are more than 200 members, more than 600 apprentices and more than 2,000 assembly line production workers under this department alone. It is a veritable "S-class department" of King Pullen.

The reason why GWB occupies so many resources is that more than 90% of the construction of the city of Pulen is inseparable from its participation. And as a war department, all the armament of the Pulen Corps is also from the GWB.

Such a robust logistical system was not possible in King Arthur's royal capital, and because of this, only some of her soldiers were adequately armed, including armor, swords, and shields. However, more than a third of the soldiers in the 4,000-strong corps are armed at their own expense, and most of these soldiers are from civilian backgrounds, so you can imagine how rudimentary their equipment is.

If the Puron King City is not needed by the long-range infantry, even equipping the entire army with all the plate armor is not a difficult thing for the current Puron King City. This is where the absolute gap between the two is Char's Puron King City and all the countries in this world, and the perfection of the logistics system is the biggest advantage of the Pulon King City!

The breakaway of the Noble Alliance has made our troops even weaker, after all, it is impossible not to be nervous against an enemy three times their size.

To this end, Char and Artoria jointly convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

In April of the 2nd year of Puren, the first meeting of the Yuan Shou was held, which marked a crucial step in the integration between the royal city and the royal capital, which represented the further integration and cooperation between the royal city and Great Britain, laying the foundation for the formal union of the kingdom into one country in the future.

The Council of the Round Shou would later serve as the representative of the highest council of the Kingdom of Great Britain, and was a temporary council that would drive the aristocracy out of the kingdom and make Great Britain transition to "centralization". But although it was a temporary model, it was undoubtedly the central council of the supreme power in Great Britain at this time.

At this meeting, Char applied to King Arthur for command of the army, and he intended to control his own mixed army and King Arthur's 1st and 2nd armies as an army group. This is more conducive to his overall control.

Char's proposal was fully supported by the Guardian Knights, but the Knights of the Round Table, on the contrary, strongly opposed it.

In addition to the veteran Knights of the Round Table such as Bedwell and Kai, these old men who participated in the battle against the Phrysians had no doubt about Char's command ability, and in fact they even took command of the army with their supporter Char, because they firmly believed that Char's ability could maximize their success rate of victory.

However, the new young Round Table players could not agree with this at all, compared to the support of the veteran Round Table Knights.

"I'm against it! The Pulon can't take command of the whole army! The king is the only leader!"

"With the opposition, the Pulon people already have enough troops, and they can't be allowed to continue to take more army commands!"

"I'm against it too!"

Most of the new Knights of the Round Table saw Char as the most threatening potential for King Arthur. However, it is no wonder that they do not know the complicated relationship between Char and Artoria, and they do not know that Artoria once used all her blood to reshape Char's body in order to save Char, and used the "distant ideal land - Avalon" to shake the curse of King Forest.

Char is strong, and the legions of the royal city of Pullon are stronger. This was the common knowledge of everyone present, especially after they saw the discipline and action of this army, and their evaluation of the Puren King City was raised to the highest level in one go. But on the other hand, they are also more deeply afraid of this royal city of Pulun, which has the power beyond the nobility and functions completely like an independent state.

Artoria saw the fierce light and impatience in Char's eyes when many of the Knights of the Round Table objected. Artoria, who has a deep understanding of the other party's character, naturally knows that Char's proposal to take military command here is actually giving himself a step, because both he and himself know very well that only he can do it if he wants to minimize casualties under this huge gap of three times the number of troops, and at the same time win the victory.

So before Char thought about how to "kill" the new Knights of the Round Table, Artoria couldn't help but stop the Knights of the Round Table from continuing to go berserk, and agreed to Char's application with the absolute power of King Arthur.

And it was this order that relieved everyone except the Knights of the Round Table, including Bedwell and Knight Kay.

They could all see that Char really wanted to kill this new batch of round tables for a moment, and then arrange another batch......

..........................................

In the center of the tent was a large sand table with small artificially created trees and meadows, like a real terrain. This is one of the military crafts of the Pulon Castle, a graphical combat platform dedicated to simulated battlefield operations.

Char held a long commander in one hand and explained his strategic plan to Artoria and the other knights sitting around the sand table.

"Look at this little bulging mountain bag. Char pointed to a certain part of the sand table, and then said, "This is a continuously protruding high-lying terrain, with the highest level reaching four meters, and behind it is a sloping terrain. Now let's call this point A, and then set up two ambush points under point A. ”

Char pointed the baton some place in front of point A, which is a flat area below the mountain pack.

On the sand table, this flat area has been placed with realistic chess pieces, such as archers, sword and shield players, and cavalry. There are also several pieces that resemble cannons.

"We set point B fifty meters ahead of point A. This is the main area to face the Tides head-on, and it is also the place where we will fight unrelentingly. I'm going to place the long men of my mixed legion here, and I'll leave the flank cover to King Arthur your 1st and 2nd legions, but it won't take too many men, just 400 to 600 men in each direction. ”

After saying that, Char looked at Artoria.

Artoria frowned slightly when she heard this, and said with some concern: "Will this number be a little too small, after all, the enemy is an army of 20,000 people." If only your 1,000 hoplites are deployed on the frontal front, plus 1,200 soldiers on both flanks, that's only a legion. If the enemy charges at once, are you sure you can fight an enemy ten times your size?"

Char crossed his hands around his chest and had an extremely confident expression on his face. "That's nature. But the enemy is not an idiot, and a 20,000-strong boar assault would not be done even by military idiots. Especially for the Tydes, what they have to fight is not an encounter, but an invasion of other countries. ”

"Although the Tides are comfortable all year round, it doesn't mean that they have really forgotten the basic rules of the battlefield. Rushing all your forces before testing the enemy's hole cards is not called fighting, it is called planlessness. If it's an ordinary opponent, it's okay to be defeated, but for a scheming enemy...... That would be a disaster of their own. ”

Artoria nodded, "What are you going to do then?"

The arrogant man snorted and put on a look of course. Every time he shows this expression, it means that he has made a big decision, and he firmly believes that this decision will bring them absolute victory.

This expression was familiar to the Guardian Knights, as well as Artoria and Bedwell.

So they began to look forward to Char's decision more in the future.

Char pointed to the end of the sand table, a hostile force composed of a group of countless soldiers and pawns under black pressure.

"The enemy's army of 20,000 is overwhelmingly numerous, but for an unorganized and untrained refugee army, it is simply a bloated dead fat man. We don't need to take a step back, just take on the enemy's entire army in this place!"

"The enemy is the Principality of Tedes, but to be honest, I didn't take this country seriously from the beginning. This war is just a piece of cake before the real big war begins. The mixed legions of the city of Pullen took on the task of frontal combat, and the flanks were given to part of King Arthur's army for cover. ”

"And then ......"

Char pointed to point A and said, "The special engineering unit of the Puren Army will set up a long-range attack force at point A, and the thirty-six death giant crossbows are divided into the first, second, and third attack companies. Twelve small projectile guns were set up for the 4th and 5th companies, and two heavy Spitfire cannons were placed for the 6th company. ”

At the same time, the logistics units of the Pullen army were ordered to go into battle as well. Although they are all a group of untrained civilians, they are only used to wave the flag and shout. Together with the hundreds of battle flags, I planted the entire A-point to form a sea of flags! Then I was given three or four men standing next to each flag, forming an endless sea of people, blurring the enemy's concept of the number of our troops from the formation. ”

"Secondly, deploy the war drum troops, and it is time for those twelve giant drums to come in handy. Deploy them at point A like the Battle Flag troops, and when the enemy enters the confrontation phase, the War Drum Units begin to beat their drums, amplifying the sound through large iron horns and transmitting it throughout the battlefield. Under the sound of our army's battle horn, the sound of war drums does not have the nature of a command, only the rhythm needs to be beaten to deter the enemy. ”

Char said: "We are outnumbered, so we have to use some small means to turn the "momentum" of the battlefield in our favor. In addition, the rangers of the Plunn Army were stationed four hundred meters away from the battlefield and hidden, and they would act as a strange card to deal with the enemy's possible sudden mass charge, and six hundred heavily armed cavalry were enough to deter. ”

Artoria raised her hand and asked curiously, "Char, why don't you say that your six hundred cavalry are also sent to Point B for an armed demonstration?

Char shook her head.

"Your problem is childish Artoria. The purpose of my strategy is not to prevent the enemy from continuing to advance, but to create a vague and incomprehensible sense of crisis to our troops. Only in this sense of crisis did the enemy not dare to casually launch a charge with the whole army, but would only send an army of followers who were not very important to them to probe it. That's what I'm aiming for. ”

Artoria tilted her head strangely.

"Well, it's like eating a snake that's too long. Swallowing it in one gulp will only choke you to death, but if you cut it off piece by piece and cook it, it will be different. The Tydes are the long, fat snakes, and we in Great Britain are the snake eaters. So we can't be too strong, otherwise the pole will inevitably back, which may cause a full-scale counterattack by the Tides, but we can't show that the enemy is too weak, otherwise the enemy will attack with all his strength, and we will definitely not be able to stop it at that time. ”

I see, everyone present suddenly thought of it.

Char continued to deploy and ordered: "In addition, I will order my Knights of the Praetorian Guards of King Puron, King Arthur's elite Knights of the Guard, plus my twelve Guardian Knights and the Knights of the Round Table to form a two-hundred-and-seventy army of heavy cavalry, and launch a fake charge when the enemy army arrives, so that the enemy can feel the power of the Heavy Knights and force them to stop!"

"In addition, the British forces seem to have a small number of archers, so let them enter point B with my Pullen archery regiment, and arrange them ten meters behind the Pullen Guard. The whole army must be covered with a net of stealth and not be allowed to reveal the fact that we have archers before the enemy charges. Of course, ranged troops will also be hung with stealth nets. ”

Stealth net, a type of equipment commonly used by snipers in later generations. The process is so simple that even if you are sitting at home and playing on the computer, you can make it at any time. This kind of equipment was already equipped with the whole army as early as the decision of the Pulon royal city to create a comprehensive and strategically positioned long-range unit, especially the archery unit, which was almost a set of personnel.

Artoria nodded silently in agreement with Char's plan, and the man was still as always in a layered way of arranging his own fighting. Although he doesn't want to admit defeat, he is still not as skilled as Char in terms of tactical deployment. Perhaps, this is the so-called information gap in Char's mouth.

But on the other hand, this is another great learning opportunity. It would be great if one day I could be like Char and always be able to come up with such a clear order and easy to understand the tactics that can best play to my strengths, no matter what the situation.

"Then let's do it according to Char's plan, but there is a small problem before. The point is that we still don't know where the Tides are going and when they'll be in this area, and any preparation is pointless if we can't be sure. ”

As a Knight of the Round Table, Bedwell has been involved in countless battles. Therefore, he clearly understands that there are too many accidental factors on the battlefield. Char's plan is certainly as good as ever...... I don't know what he wants to do, but looking at his confident expression, I guess it will surprise them like the last Phrysian war.

But as a dutiful knight, Bedwell still stood up and reminded Char of the great deal of uncertainty that exists on the battlefield.

"Don't worry about this, our Rose Legion in the King City of Pullen has basically determined the enemy's march route after reconnaissance overnight. The A Heights are the place where the enemy's armies must pass, for their target is the royal capital behind us. Based on the correctness of this information, Pullen will make a tactical arrangement here. ”

The Knights of the Songs, with their blond hair, slowly glanced over Bedwell. The cold and arrogant character can be noticed by everyone in an instant. However, what is even more surprising is that she can appear here as the twelve guardian knights, in addition to her beautiful face that even Bedwell's heart trembles, a strength strong enough to overwhelm the others is her highest capital.

Also eye-catching is the silver-haired knight on Char's other side.

There was no sound, no action, and she was in a state of extreme silence almost all the time, except for the sound she made at the beginning of her anger. It's like an iceberg that completely freezes itself, wearing a covered helmet on his head that completely obscures his face, and he neither speaks nor communicates with anyone.

However, this was not Yania's intention. However, before leaving, Char handed her the covered helmet that completely covered her beauty, and warned her not to talk to King Arthur, not to look at her, and not to have anything to do with her. If you can, it's best not to see each other a few times until Char completes his ambition to unify the British Isles.

This strange request made Jania very curious, but she obediently obeyed the king's orders, and put this somewhat fierce and delicate helmet on her head.

"The Pullen's intelligence network...... Bediwell whispered.

"That's right, it's hundreds of times more trustworthy than your third-class intelligence. A spy who can't even do basic mapping and judgment, it's a shame that you can believe what he says. ”

The Knights of the Songs mocked Great Britain's intelligence and provoked some of the Knights of the Round Table. But because what people say is the truth, in fact, it is indeed their own spies who are too embarrassed, so no one stands up and says anything.

Char glanced left and right and saw that everyone was silent. So he judged that no one objected to his plan, which meant that the greatest goal of the meeting had been accomplished.

Glancing at Artoria, who sat on the throne, she had a look of trust in herself. She slowly raised her arm and made a "please" gesture at Char, looking at him with a smile on her face.

Rare ...... That draco. D. Char actually blushed. Although he quickly put on a serious face to hide the fact that he had zero resistance to that smile.

"King Arthur, I'm done with what I'm about to say, is there anything else you want to ask?"

Char ignored the other party's "teasing" eyes, and said loudly in a thick voice.

The basics have been decided, but in the end, it is still up to King Arthur to make the final decision. After all, Char still belongs to Artoria and her knights, as a shield, as a sword, as a pillar of the sky.

"No, I trust all of Plunqing's judgments. Based on this trust, I hereby declare. ”

Artoria stopped teasing Char appropriately, and although she enjoyed making the arrogant fool feel helpless, it was almost time to get down to business.

After all, Char has already done so many things for himself, and he has to earn a little more energy. Artoria thought with her eyes closed and a smile on her face.

In the next second, Artoria opened her eyes suddenly, and a powerful momentum unique to the king erupted all over her body!

"-- Now, our war against the Duchy of Teddes in Great Britain has officially begun! Although the number of enemies is several times that of our army, I, as Artoria Pendragon, King of Great Britain, am willing to fight to the death with you here until the end! For the sake of Great Britain! For the glory of the Rose! For the peace of this country! We are marching towards the Shura Field at this moment!!"

Crash!

The Guardian Knights seated on the right stood en masse.

Crash!

The knights of the round table, seated on the left, stand en masse.

"-For Great Britain!!"

"--For the glory of Rose!!"
