Chapter 327: Prince Karl's Confidence
Svein didn't think that Prince Karl would attack before the arrival of the Western Army, which was normally the case, but Svein missed one point, and that was Prince Karl's arrogance as a peerless genius.
But all geniuses, especially young geniuses, will have their own arrogance. Prince Karl is known as the son of God, recognized as the first person of the younger generation in the mainland, and his arrogance is incomparable to that of ordinary geniuses.
In Prince Karl's opinion, the total garrison of Huaxia on the northern border was only 150,000, but he himself had 200,000 troops! plus the original 30,000 garrisons in Norrie City, it was 230,000!
He has an absolute advantage in troops, but he still has to shrink up and wait for the arrival of friendly troops in the west, which is intolerable to Prince Karl's arrogance. What he wants to do is to completely defeat Huaxia Ling before the Western Route army arrives! This is worthy of his name as a genius!
What's more, does Huaxia Ling have any famous commanders? The only one who can handle it is probably Kevin Senlan of the Senlan family. However, Kevin Senlan is only a defeated commander of his men, and according to the information from the intelligence department, Kevin led the guardian legion of Huaxia Leader to garrison the western border, not the northern border. The commanders of the northern border are just a few nobodies of the Huaxia Territory.
In this case, Prince Karl did not allow himself to stand still and wait for friendly forces. In Prince Karl's opinion, in the face of the rabble of the Huaxia Lord, not to mention that he has an advantage in troops, even if he is inferior in troops, he can win in battle. It's like when he first commanded the army and defeated the Heavenly Kingdom with the weak.
This is the self-confidence of Prince Karl, the self-confidence that has been cultivated over the years of winning a hundred battles!
Prince Karl rested in the city. He continued to march towards Huaxia with an army of 230,000. At this time, the 150,000 troops of the Valoran Army had already rushed to the border to prepare for the battle.
In the Chinese leading camp. Alan and the others immediately got the news that Prince Karl continued to wave his army south.
"Svein, you seem to have miscalculated this time. Zhao Xin joked with a smile. There was not the slightest hint of pre-war tension.
Svein smiled when he heard this: "It is true that I miscalculated, Prince Karl, as a peerless genius, really has the arrogance of a genius." But his willingness to take the initiative is definitely good news for us. It's good that young people are a little arrogant, but sometimes they have to pay the price for their arrogance. ”
After speaking, Svein asked Allen for instructions: "Lord Lord, are we going to defend the city, or are we intercepting it in the wild?"
"Are you sure you can win the battle if you intercept them in the field?" asked Allen.
Svein said confidently: "On the strength of the troops. We are only 80,000 short of each other, but we have slightly more high-level troops than the other side, so we are not a disadvantage. In terms of commander-in-chief, neither I, Galen, nor Zhao Xin will lose to that Prince Karl. ”
The meaning of Svein's words is obvious, that is, even if the two armies are directly confronted in the field, they will not be afraid of each other.
"Then let's fight in the wild. Alan said.
In the previous war, Huaxia Ling had always been at a disadvantage and could only defend in the city, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. But in doing so, the flames of war will inevitably spread to the inhabitants of the towns and villages on the border. This is something that Allen does not want to see. So this time, he decided to directly Chen Bing at the border and intercept the other party.
"Svein, Galen. Zhao Xin, you choose a place to fight. This location must be chosen within the sphere of influence of the territory, within the territory of the territory. Our soldiers can get a bonus to the strength of the dragon soul. ”
"Understood, my lord. "Svein trio.
The three of them sat around the map and studied it for a while. Finally a location was chosen. Because there was no natural danger near the border, the three of them chose a plain. It's about fifty miles from the border.
The battle on the plains is a test of the commander's on-the-spot command ability, and in this regard, the three Svein are confident that they are not inferior to others.
Three days later, Prince Karl led an army of 230,000 men across the border and into the territory of China.
"According to the news of the scouts, the 150,000 troops of Huaxia have set up camp fifty miles away, ready to have a decisive battle with us in the wilderness. Prince Karl chuckled, "I thought that Huaxia would choose to defend the city, but I didn't expect them to be a little bold." ”
"What should we do, do we just call it?" asked Angus, the third prince of the Burning Sun Kingdom.
Prince Karl shook his head: "The 150,000 army is in position, even if we have the advantage of troops, it is impossible to defeat it in one fell swoop, and the casualties of the strong attack are too heavy, it is completely unnecessary." !”
"We are camped opposite the Huaxia leading battalion, and I will slowly eat away at them through skirmishes and completely break their confidence and morale!"
Prince Karl said confidently.
Angus nodded, and said with some concern: "I heard that the Huaxia Leader still has some powerful generals, such as Svein, Galen, etc. in the intelligence, are you sure to defeat them in the battle?"
Prince Karl smiled confidently: "The battle before the battle is a test of a commander's on-the-spot command ability, the use of battle array changes, the mastery of the combination of arms, and the comprehensive command ability of the entire army! ”
"Since the first time I led the troops, I have experienced dozens of pre-battle duels, and I have not tasted a single defeat! And the generals of the Huaxia Command you are talking about are in a remote corner, what combat experience can they have?" Prince Karl said proudly.
It's a pity that he was wrong this time, in the Valoran continent, Noxus and Demacia fought endlessly, Svein, Galen, and Zhao Xin, which one is not experienced in a hundred battles! It can be said that each of the three of them has experienced more wars than all the wars that have taken place on the continent since Prince Karl was born.
Compared with experience, the three of Svein are all battle-hardened old fritters, and they think that the battle-hardened Prince Karl is the fledgling.
The reason why Prince Karl is so proud, and even a little arrogant, is because he has gone too smoothly along the way. It has been nearly ten years since he first led his troops, and Prince Karl has not tasted a single defeat in his military career for nearly ten years! Anyone who has achieved this feat, even if he is humble in character, will become contemptuous and arrogant in terms of war.
Prince Karl led his troops to a place about ten miles away from the Huaxia Leader's barracks and stopped, and while sending scouts to guard against the Huaxia Leader's surprise attack, he began to direct the soldiers to set up camp.
This distance was deliberately chosen by Prince Karl. Generally, the sentinels in the army are people with excellent eyesight, and at a distance of ten miles in the plain, the sentinels on both sides can see each other's camp from a distance from the watchtower. The large-scale movement of troops in the opposing battalion could never escape the eyes of the sentinels.
In the Huaxia leading battalion, every move of the coalition army was transmitted back to the barracks by the scouts as soon as possible, and some scouts on both sides even encountered each other, and there were battles and casualties among each other. The coalition forces stopped marching and began to camp, and the news was immediately transmitted by the scouts.
In fact, there was no need for scouts to report, because the soldiers standing on the watchtower had already seen the 230,000 troops on the horizon in the distance, covering the land in the distance like a huge black curtain.
After receiving the news that the coalition forces were encamped ten miles away, one of the commanders suggested, "Shall we take advantage of their encampment and attack them?"
Alan shook his head: "Prince Karl has been in battle for a long time, and it is impossible to be defenseless when he is camped, and there is little chance that the surprise attack will be effective. In this case, send 30,000 vanguard troops to find out their bottom first. ”
"Zhao Xin?"
"The subordinates are here!" Zhao Xin stepped forward and said.
"You take 30,000 soldiers and go to meet them as a vanguard. ”
Zhao Xin grinned: "Okay, Lord Lord, don't worry, I will definitely kill them on their backs, let them know that Xinye is powerful!"
After speaking, Zhao Xin walked out of the camp tent and gathered 30,000 troops and killed them to the north. (To be continued......)
