Chapter 46 Take the initiative

readx;? Hearing Freya say this, although she also knew that she had some truth in what she said, Victoria's face was still a little unbearable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

She couldn't help but complain, "Are you here to make fun of us, or do you have what it takes to defeat those crazy Visigoths?"

"I don't know, but seeing how bad you are, I don't think I'm going to be worse than you, no matter how bad I do. Freya immediately shot back.

"-You-"

Hearing Freya say this, Victoria was rightfully even more angry. But before she wanted to continue arguing with Freya, what Freya said next barely extinguished her anger.

"Perhaps, I can try to take the initiative once......"

"Oh? What are you going to do?"

Although in my heart I was dissatisfied with Freya's rudeness, arrogance to herself, and a bastard like a tyrant. However, hearing her say this, Victoria couldn't help but ask.

"The number of enemies is ten legions...... If all ten legions are gathered together, then there is nothing even I can do.

Luckily, they didn't.

It may be that the military strength of the Britons was too poor. It's a waste to bring armies together. ”

In the end, Freya couldn't help but be sarcastic.

Victoria continued to endure and then asked, "And what next?"

And then the Visigoths distributed their armies - they divided them into four routes. Freya then pointed to the map and said.

From the south, five legions from the territory of the Empire, which they had occupied, were now attacking from south to north, annexing the territory of Frisia. They weren't very fast, though there were quite a few Loteranians and Frisians who were leading the way or something. But their progress is still not fast.

But it's not because of their incompetence, it's because of their strength. Because they are not only responsible for the functions of the army, but also for the restoration of local administration and the so-called "revolution".

According to the information I have received, every time these armies arrive in a region, they will wipe out the local churches, nobles, and monopoly guilds in the shortest possible time.

Then, in the shortest possible time, the people in the territory were mobilized, and the local land was evenly distributed among the landless peasants. This quickly cemented their rule in the region. It will be very difficult for us to regain these lands...... Oh, of course, for now this is your problem, Frisia is not in the scope of our covenant, is it?

Well, that's aside, it's probably a very unpleasant thing from a political point of view. However, from a military point of view, this matter is very operational.

At the very least, it is guaranteed that they will not rush to Rotterdam in a short time, and that they will remain stable in our next military operation. ”

Freya said.

"In other words, at present, we only have five legions to deal with, and about 100,000 enemies. Two of them were in the east of Rotterdam, and they were not in a hurry to attack Rotterdam, because they were waiting for their friendly forces to move.

In total, the enemy of three corps was making a detour to the east of Rotterdam. They want to surround us here. ”

"In fact, this is not the case. After a slight pause at this point, Victoria spoke, "Actually, it's not five legions, it's four. There was also a corps that did not participate in the assault on Rotterdam, but advanced towards another important city in Frisia, Amsterdam. ”

"There's no army stationed in that city, is there?" asked Freya.

"Although...... But unfortunately, yes, there was no army stationed in that city. Victoria said with a little reluctance: "Our army is not numerous. So you can only garrison one important city.

The only way to divide our forces is to divide and surround the enemy, and then destroy us. ”

"Okay, okay, I'm not arguing with you about this kind of thing. Freya's tone was lighthearted. In fact, after Victoria said this, she couldn't help but want to ask, "Then why did those Visigoths dare to divide their troops?" Of course, the more important reason is that she also knows part of it.

All in all, it's still about getting down to business.

"Luckily, both Rotterdam and Amsterdam are cities on the coast. Freya said, "There is no way that the enemy will actually surround such a city. We can get enough supplies from the sea. ”

"That's true. ”

If there's one sentence that Victoria agrees with the most, it's probably that.

In fact, the biggest reason why the current defenders of Rotterdam can continue to hold on, without collapsing or surrendering or rebelling, is that Rotterdam is a coastal city.

Coastal cities, as long as they control the sea supremacy, then the enemy has absolutely no way to completely blockade it.

As for the question of sea supremacy...... At least for the time being, when the Russian Gothic Empire has hidden steam ironclads, Briton is well-deserved, recognized as the world's number one naval power.

Although the Bretons were defeated again and again in the war of the 6 lands, and defeated and defeated. But this does not affect the strength of their navy.

In fact, it was precisely because of this that the troops of the 6th Army thought that even if they lost in the end, they could easily run away by boat, so they would continue to persevere.

But then again, it's for that reason that most of these guys don't work very hard.

With this in mind, Freya and Victoria had another round of discussion and discussion. Then the target was set on the enemy's Sixth Legion.

"This legion is not considered the main force of the enemy, it was created by the Visigothic rebels when they expanded their army. The army was almost new from top to bottom, and the combat effectiveness was at the bottom of this round of Visigothic invasion of Frisia. Victoria said.

Moreover, the other party seems to be too confident. Freya continued, "Their legions actually acted alone...... Was it to be able to encircle Rotterdam from all directions more quickly? However, in any case, the corps was now in isolation to the southeast of Rotterdam. That is to say......"

"It can strike, and if it goes well, it can even crush this legion, or even wipe it out. Victoria said.

Thinking of this, she was quite excited, and she couldn't help but smile.

From the beginning of Briton's war with the Visigothic Republic to the present, the tide of war has been almost one-sided in favor of the Visigoths. Especially now, in this situation, they are really, really in need of a win to be inspired.

Even if this victory was not won by the Bretons themselves, it is even said that the commander who led this "friendly army" was Freya, who had never had a good relationship with Victoria.

The most important thing is to make these soldiers have expectations in their hearts. Only with hope can these guys recover and regain their combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.

"So, what are you going to do?"

After telling Freya everything she should have known, Victoria couldn't help but ask. However, before Freya could speak, she was a little impatient, and even said with a little pretentiousness: "If it were me, I would detour the two legions from the left and right flanks, cut off the other party's connection with the friendly forces on his left and right, and then attack head-on and only crush." ”

"I'm not going to do that. Looking at Victoria's eager look of "come and praise me", Freya sighed in her heart - even if she wanted to use this tactic, after Victoria said so, she would never use it again. What's more, the tactic Victoria said was completely bullshit in Freya's opinion.

"Although I have experienced so many wars, I still can't do it without talent. Freya thought to herself: "Or, is it because you have seen the horror of the Visigoths and eaten a little more defeat, so you are frightened?"

If that's the case, then this kid's heart is really fragile enough, hum. ”

Seeing Freya's appearance of not smiling, Victoria could barely hold back, wanting to complain loudly, and then simply walked away.

Unfortunately, she couldn't do that. Because now the person who asks for help is not Freya, but her.

Now it is natural to expect the victory of the army of the Russian Gothic Empire.

Although deep down, Victoria could hardly help but hope that Freya would suffer a defeat, or even be defeated and hung up. But reason told her that it was not right.

"So, what exactly are you going to do?"

Holding back the malice in her heart, Victoria then asked with a calm face.

"Three legions? Freya smiled happily and replied, "I only need one legion, only one legion." ”

"Just one legion...... What?"

Hearing Freya say this, Victoria felt ridiculous at first, and the second time felt that Freya was completely pretending to be coercive, and it was impossible to do this.

She originally wanted to persuade Freya to be cautious, but seeing Freya's confident appearance, she couldn't speak.

"When you're defeated and dead, I'll laugh at you. Victoria thought to herself. Then he also looked like he was not smiling, and said something to Freya: I wish you victory, and I will succeed and so on.

This meeting between the two sides ended unhappily.
