Chapter 246: Harrican Line
Following the last ambush calculation of Kane, in just half a month, Ivo achieved greater results and completely repelled Kane who invaded the western border. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If Kane's negligence could be explained last time, this time it was an indefensible defeat.
20,000 Barians were pursued and killed by Ivo's 3,000 cavalry for three days and three nights, and fled in a hurry.
Kane's decades of aura of honor were strongly shattered by Ivo, and the legendary Duke fell from the altar.
All the Lassesses developed an almost fanatical cult of Ivo.
Before you know it, the small town of Liema has developed to the point where it can influence the war.
It's all thanks to Ivo.
Looking back, Ivo's trajectory seems to be vivid, and the Lasses watched him step by step to get to where he is today, from his rise to prominence starting with the killing of Calilban, to his fame when he won the Academy League crown, to the invincibility of challenging the Royal Academy, to the suspicion of his succession as Lord of Lymatown, and soon proved his ability by defeating the Northern Orcs, and later took the initiative to reveal his former heretical identity, but it was not disgusting.
Now, he has defeated the legendary Duke of Barria, who has poisoned the land of Lasses for a year.
Almost single-handedly reversed the course of the war.
It rose at the end of the small and stirred up the storm of war.
Ivo's name is deeply engraved in the hearts of every Lasses refugee.
It's the rise of a new legend!
"The Hero of Lasses", this title is spreading more and more widely in the word of mouth of the Lasses.
Not only the fleeing homeless, but also the soldiers of Lasses saw Ivo as the one who could really make the difference in the war.
Ivo's command skills impressed everyone around him.
The line of defense he built was also treated by a special name, and the line of defense was given the surname of Ivo, called the Harrican Line.
This is the affirmation of Ivo by the Lassesians, who in the eyes of the Lassesses, Ivo is the soul of the Harrican Line.
The Orcs of the North, Duke Kane, whoever it is, failed to capture the Harrican Line.
The Harrican Line has almost become a symbol of hope for the Kingdom, and as long as the Line does not fall, the Kingdom can turn around.
In high morale, Ivo was appointed by the king as the supreme staff officer to follow the Pegasus and the Bayonet Legion in the counterattack against Stormwind Valley.
Severn III, showing absolute trust in Ivo, gave him the power to veto tactics, and originally wanted Ivo to be the supreme commander, but Ivo refused.
Ivo doesn't want to be a commander, there are many things to worry about, which will affect his judgment to a certain extent, and focusing on analyzing enemy tactics is what he is good at.
The eyes of the entire Hokuriku are gathered here.
If Lasses can win this head-to-head battle, the war will really change.
......
Two legions, close to 30,000 troops, besieged Stormwind Valley.
Kane built a large number of fortifications and was ready to fight.
The two legions were stationed outside Stormdale, and the terrain was level, and Ivo had watchtowers built to observe each other's situation.
At the top of the watchtower, Ivo held on to the railing with both hands, squinting at Stormwind Valley.
The terrain of Stormwind Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the mountain walls on both sides are high, close to ninety degrees, like smooth walls, and they are so steep that ordinary soldiers cannot climb them at all.
There are only two valley entrances at the end of Storm Valley, and at this time a three-story pass has been built, sealing the narrow entrance, and it seems that it has made up its mind to defend it, and it can't find any loopholes.
Looking at the dense honeycomb arrow holes in the pass, Ivo knew that anyone who attacked would pay an unbearable price.
"It's tricky. "Ivo touched his nose and switched from defender to attacker, which made him a little uncomfortable, as if going from a tinkerer to a maker, it was more difficult.
Nafi stood behind him, and seeing Ivo frowning and thinking, with a distressed expression, she stepped forward gently, squeezed Ivo's palm, and comforted, "Take a break, you've been watching for eight hours." ”
Ivo looked at her with a soft look in his eyes, "You've been with me for so long. ”
"Everyone says you're a hero to Lasses, and I'm honored to be by your side. Nafi smiled, her eyes reminiscing, when she rode up to Neburdan with Ivo a year ago to support Burning Horse Town, she never imagined that Ivo would get to where he is today, it was like a dream.
Over the years, Ivo has shown too many aspects she doesn't understand, his ability to command, his heretic identity...... For Nafi, Ivo is like a fascinating book, constantly turning new pages, and it seems that there is always something new to refresh Nafi's perception of him.
I don't know when it started, but Nafei couldn't stop it, and she wanted to keep reading the book.
Ivo sighed softly, "An era that needs heroes is not a good era. This war has been going on long enough, and it's time to make a break. ”
Nafei said, "What are your plans?"
"This should be the last war I'll ever be in," Ivo muttered as he looked at Stormdale and said, "As long as the situation changes, everything will develop irreversibly like fate, I just need to rest in the territory and wait for Lasses to complete the counterattack step by step." ”
"As long as this time is successful, I won't have to fight again. Ivo rubbed his eyebrows.
A herald shouted from under the tower, "Lord Ivo, the two legionnaires have invited you to the meeting. ”
"Let's go. Ivo rubbed his face, changed his expression to a calm expression, and walked ahead.
Nafi covered her mouth and smiled, following Ivo.
No matter what became of Ivo, in her heart, the deepest impression was still the original teenager.
......
The middle-level officers and above were all assembled in the commander's tent.
Lucian pointed to the military map and said, "The terrain of Stormwind Valley is very unfavorable to us, I suggest that we first feint and test the pass, and use alchemy cannons and catapults to carry out long-range strikes on the pass." ”
Andrew and the mid-level officers nodded, this is a conventional tactic, there is nothing to object to.
Then everyone's eyes converged on Ivo.
"Lord Ivo, do you have any good advice?" asked Lucian.
Ivo glanced around, and saw that everyone was listening attentively, and respected his opinion very much, so he said slowly: "I have no opinion, I suggest that the siege should be the mainstay, I conclude that the Kane troops will not have too much food and grass, the longer it drags on, the more uncomfortable the enemy will be, the only thing to pay attention to is the Barian garrison in the High Stone Plain, they may come to support." ”
Andrew said worriedly: "The commander of the Barria army in the High Stone Plain is Evel Barria, this woman's fighting style is very crazy, she has sixty or seventy thousand people in her hands, if all of them come to support, we will be very dangerous. ”
"The troops under the command of Evel are the main legions, and the composition is very complicated, in addition to the national legions, there are also the lord's private army that Baria responded to the call, among the sixty or seventy thousand people, there are only about forty thousand combat troops, and the rest are baggage logistics, and they occupy the high stone plain, and they have to divide the soldiers to guard various strategic locations, and the most support soldiers who can be dispatched are only 20,000 at most. ”
"Besides, we have reinforcements too. Ivo's tone was mysterious.
Lucian and Andrew looked at each other and wondered: "Our reinforcements?Evergreen Ivy was disabled, I don't know where to go to rest, Purple Feather Flower has been fighting with the orcs for a whole year, recovering a lot of lost territory, and we don't have any skills, where do we still have reinforcements?"
"You'll know then," Ivo said lightly, "Reinforcements are the key to our capture of Stormwind Valley." ”
Everyone nodded.
Although Ivo did not explain, they had no reason to believe Ivo.
This is the great prestige that Ivo has accumulated after a year of war.
