Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Plan to Close the Door and Fight the Dog

The battle for the town of Solad is still raging, and in the eastern part of the empire, the invading forces of the Roverdo Empire have begun to stop their advance. After they attacked the city of Dokaron, the second largest city in the Ponsin Empire, they were met with mortal resistance from all the soldiers and civilians of Dokaron, and the battle was fiercer than the battle of Solad.

At the same time, the southern part of the empire began a great transfer of millions of refugees. The Heint Empire extended a helping hand, opened the checkpoints, and unconditionally accommodated the countless flow of people.

This war has attracted widespread attention on the mainland. Many countries have issued statements condemning the barbaric acts, brutal acts and despicable purposes of the three countries of Tandaks, Loferdo, and Zhuang Khan. However, although they despise the behavior of these three countries, the transportation between the most prosperous central region of the mainland and the southern part of the mainland is extremely inconvenient, and there is a Moan primeval forest that spans the east and west of the continent and is 5,000 miles deep. Although the vast majority of the central part of the continent of Saariado were countries that worshipped the god Pato, they were sympathetic to the Ponsin Empire, who worshipped their daughter Aphrentina. However, due to this difficult barrier, even if the mainstream countries on the mainland want to intervene in this war, they are not enough.

The territory of the Saariado continent is extremely vast, and the war that took place in the southern region was actually just a small local war. Although it attracted attention, people didn't pay much attention to it. To put it bluntly, Aphrentina is only an illegitimate daughter of the gods, and her status is not recognized by the world of gods. Even the gods themselves did not dare to openly support their daughters. This is also the main reason why there are so many unscrupulous gods and demons who dare to covet Aphrentina's godhead unscrupulously.

The battle in the town of Sorad was fought from morning to night. The soldiers of the two armies suffered numerous casualties, and the [***] team of King Zhuang Khan could not enter the town. And the defenders of the Ponsin Empire could not prevent the trench from being filled, and both sides had their own gains, and there was another draw.

The next day's battle ended when it got dark. The soldiers of the two armies, who were extremely tired, temporarily separated for a rest and recuperation. The town of Sorad was full of wounded people waiting to be treated, moaning and wailing. According to a rough estimate by the garrison headquarters, the combat attrition of its own soldiers in the first battle actually exceeded 20,000! This figure is almost half of the total number of the Fourth Army. And tomorrow, the trench that has just been filled will no longer be able to stop the onslaught of the enemy cavalry. Tomorrow's war will only be more tragic than today!

At this time, the Yanjing support army had all been replenished to the Fourth Army. The thirty-second squad where Keya was located was incorporated into the 177th Squadron of the [***] team, and Keya was also appointed as the leader of the swordsman team. Since Koya is the only great swordsman in the whole army, the divine power on the battlefield during the day is also seen by everyone. So he was the captain, and no one had an opinion.

At this moment, while eating dry bread, Keya persuaded Judy, who was still angry: "Are you still angry? Didn't I explain it to you several times? At that time, if I didn't leave you to kill the enemy with all my might, then none of our team members would want to leave alive." It's not that I don't keep my promises, it's that I really can't help it!"

Judy snorted, turned her head again, and said, "Don't explain, anyway, I already know that I am an insignificant person in your heart!"

Ke Ya had no choice but to smile bitterly and shake his head, only to feel that the psychology of women was really incomprehensible. The situation on the battlefield is inherently ever-changing, and people need to make different responses according to different situations at any time. It's one thing to promise, but reality doesn't allow it, so what's the solution?

At this time, Britney Spears walked over with a smile and hugged Judy, and said softly, "Okay, Keya did that to protect you." If he hadn't driven away all the enemy forces by himself, where would we have been able to withdraw safely? Don't be angry? Now that we are in the midst of a war, we don't know if we will be alive or not. Why should you have trouble with our captain over such a trivial matter?"

Judy had no choice but to curl her mouth and say, "How dare I get along with him?

Brieneg smiled and said, "Okay, but don't skip dinner when you're angry! Come on, come on, eat a piece of dry bread, there will be a battle tomorrow, how can you kill the enemy if you don't eat enough?"

Judy was actually hungry for a long time, just now Keya persuaded her that she was angry and didn't eat, but at this moment, Britney persuaded her, she took it, and while biting hatefully, she said vaguely: "Eat it! Anyway, it's better to die in battle than to die of starvation!"

Keya smiled, he felt that what he was doing was the right thing to do, and he didn't want to ask Judy's forgiveness. As long as she doesn't get angry and doesn't eat, that's enough. Britney turned around and winked at Keya, what do you mean, or should I do it?

At this moment, a herald suddenly rushed over and said loudly, "Keya, the captain of the swordsman squad." Françoise! The army commander has an order for you to immediately attend an operational meeting at the army command post. Go now, don't miss it!"

Ke Ya couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the order, thinking to himself that he was just a squad leader, why did he let me participate in the meeting of the military department?

But since Koya is already a soldier, it is his duty to obey orders. He replied loudly, "Yes! I'll be right there!"

The herald immediately turned back and left, and Adam stood up, ate the bread left in his hand in two bites, and said to Britney, "Britney, I'm going to a meeting." You are in charge here for the time being, everyone hurry up and rest when you are full, so that you have the strength to meet the battle of tomorrow!"

"Yes......! Oh no, Captain!"

Keya didn't say much, turned around and hurried towards the military headquarters. At this time, in the army command post, the combat meeting was already halfway open. As soon as Keya arrived, he immediately saluted and shouted: "Report, the leader of the swordsman squad Keya has been ordered to report to duty!"

Higgins, who was sitting on the throne, smiled, hurriedly beckoned, and said, "Come in! You are the Holy Swordsman of the Holy Sect, you don't have to salute us, find a place to sit, and we will continue to have a meeting!"

Keya snapped in, crouched down in a corner.

On the table in front of Higgins was a simple plan of the town of Solad, which had just been drawn by hand. Higgins turned his eyes to all the officers present and said, "As I said just now, it is almost impossible for the infantry to block the onslaught of the cavalry from the front. The trench dug in front of the town had already been filled in by the enemy, and the enemy would be the first to use a massive cavalry attack. All the cavalry of our army combined is less than two thousand. It is simply impossible to engage in a meeting with a large number of enemy cavalry! Then, we have only one way left. That is, not to block the enemy cavalry head-on, but to let the enemy in, close the door and beat the dogs!"

At this time, a brigade commander said: "Commander, let the enemy's cavalry into the town? After the cavalry charge, a large number of infantry must have followed. In the unlikely event that the enemy cavalry enters the town and rushes our defenses into disarray, how can we effectively organize our troops to fight the enemy infantry?"

Higgins nodded and said, "I've also considered this question." In our current situation, if we want to defend the line, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed. In that case, then we don't keep our surname. As soon as the enemy cavalry entered the town, our main force immediately attacked and fought a decisive battle with the enemy's main infantry on the plain in front of the town! However, the purpose of our decisive battle was to completely annihilate the enemy's main cavalry force in a short period of time. Let the Zhuang Khan Kingdom lose this kind of most attacking force on the plains, then our defense battle will be very easy to fight in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the four was shocked! Someone immediately said: "Commander, with the reinforcements of our army, our army is now able to fight less than 60,000 troops. Besides, it is necessary to leave a force in the town to fight a battle of annihilation, so how can such a small force fight a decisive battle with the enemy's main force of hundreds of thousands of infantry on the plain?"

Higgins said with a smile: "When we came here, we planned to fight all the troops and prevent the Three Kingdoms Alliance from meeting before our main force returned to Yanjing smoothly." The Zhuang Khan King [***] team claims to be 200,000, but it has fought all the way, and with the killings and wounds of our army in the first two days, I don't think there will be more than 150,000 people with combat capability now. If these 150,000 people want to eat our army in one bite, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Although the town of Sorad is a plain land, there is a river on the left and a depression on the right, and there is only a narrow passage in the middle. Our troops lined up in a phalanx to meet the enemy, just enough to block all the ground of this passage. so that the enemy army cannot have a chance to encircle our army. Well, it's just an encounter. We can attack and retreat, and there is no possibility of being surrounded and annihilated. As long as our plan to annihilate the enemy cavalry is successful, then our main force can immediately retreat to form a defensive line. Ladies and gentlemen, my plan of battle may seem a bit too risky, but it is the only way we can do it right now. If you have any comments or additions, please let me know!"

Everyone was silent for a while, and then someone said: "Commander, what if we can't annihilate the enemy cavalry? As long as they come out of the town, then the main force of our infantry will immediately be attacked by the enemy, and the formation will be in chaos." As soon as the formation is in disarray, our troops will inevitably lose their morale and their fighting spirit will fade. In this way, a rout or even annihilation is possible. The general has ordered us to hold out here for at least four days, and if we can't accomplish this task, how can we live up to his ardent expectations?"

Commander Higgins pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for four days." Now we have to win in a narrow way! The enemy's cavalry, I estimate that it is about 10,000 horsemen. Even if they were all dispatched, they would have no impact power when they entered the town. We left 10,000 archers behind and scattered them across the town to shoot non-stop. At the front and rear of the town, each sent a thousand cavalry to block it. In street fighting, cavalry can only be a live target for bows and arrows! As long as they are lucky, it is not impossible to completely annihilate them. And ......," he said, he suddenly looked at Keya and said, "We still have a strong army, although the number is small, but all of them are extraordinary. After the enemy cavalry scattered us, they were able to use their strengths to strike the enemy in street battles. Captain Koya, those swordsmen under your command, are you sure that you will be able to kill some enemy cavalry fleeing in all directions?"

Hearing this, Koya also understood Higgins's plan. When he stood up and shouted, "Yes!"

"Good!" Commander Higgins nodded, then looked back at the group, "I know, my plan is risky. One is not good, and it is possible that the whole army will be wiped out because of it. And even if we succeed, the price we pay will be huge. But ladies and gentlemen, isn't it just that our main brother troops can return to Yanjing safely and retain a little hope and strength for the empire? But if we don't, we'll have to die and be born!"

There was a deathly silence, and after a while, the deputy commander-in-chief, General Lipsgow, was the first to say: "I agree with this battle plan of the army commander! As long as we can completely annihilate the main force of the enemy's cavalry, no matter how heavy our losses are, it is worth a try!"

Then, several more officers expressed their approval, and said one after another: "Yes, only by destroying the enemy cavalry can our blocking battle last for a long time." Pay a little price for it, that's also at your disposal!"

"Yes, not to mention that we still have 50,000 infantry main forces, and it will not be easy for the enemy to make us pay a huge price!"

At this point in the meeting, we can't think of a better way than this plan to shut down the door and fight the dog. So they unanimously agreed to Captain Higgins's seemingly extremely risky battle plan.

Higgins immediately pushed the map on the table to everyone and said, "Okay, in that case, let's arrange the specific deployment of troops for the first war." Captain Koya, come and listen to it!"

Keya snapped and immediately walked to the table. Commander Higgins seemed to have a plan in mind, pointed to the floor plan of the town of Solard, and began to make the specific arrangements......

Late at night, Koya returned to the camp after a combat meeting. After a tired day, he fell to the ground, closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep. At this moment, someone suddenly came quietly and gently covered him with a piece of clothing.

Keya opened his eyes, but saw that it was Britney, so he said softly, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Britney smiled softly and said, "If the master doesn't sleep, how dare I sleep first?"

Keya had no choice but to sigh and said, "Then you go to sleep, we have to fight tomorrow!"

Britney hummed, and immediately lay down beside Keya, using her hands as a pillow, smiling and looking at Keya. Keya frowned, and said, "Hey, this is a military camp, not at home, what are you lying next to me?"

Britney smiled: "Master, I am your slave wherever I go." Isn't it natural for a slave to sleep next to his master?"

Keya had no choice but to say helplessly: "Britney, I find that you are becoming less and less obedient to me now. You say your soul is in my possession, is it true?"

Britney blinked and said seriously, "Master, you said you wanted to give me freedom." I'm listening to you, too!"

Keya rolled his eyes and had to smile bitterly. Britney chuckled softly, leaned over and kissed Koya deeply on the lips. As soon as the little tongue was spit out, it entered his mouth, teasing, wrapping, and sucking......

"Hey, here...... No...... ......"
