Up to this point, the basic opinion of everyone was that it was best to hold Lion's Tooth City, otherwise it would be better to establish a defensive line on the Guana River. Even after the Guana River was breached, it retreated to the Imperial border defenses, where there was also a complete line of defense......

But few people would have thought that what kind of war was this? It was a life-and-death battle between the demon race and the human alliance! So how many people looked at this war from the height of human beings?

It's really a matter of global strategic vision. Obviously, compared to the entire Yuansheng Continent, the Red Lion Principality was only a small area. If the Red Lion Principality could be used to exchange space for time and make humanity more prepared, it would be totally worth it. Luckily, Red Lion Grand Duke Van Bock is one such person with a strategic vision for the big picture.

Of course, this does not mean that other generals on the mainland do not have such an overall strategic vision. But even if you can see it, you don't dare to say it either. After all, it is to completely abandon the Red Lion Principality, which is likely to cause a fierce backlash from the Red Lion Principality. Because of such a political factor, we can only wait for Van Bock's self-proposal.

And these days, Van Bock isn't idle, in the town he was trapped in. He was constantly learning about the situation through Lion's Tooth City, and he was very covert in his troop movements. And the other day, Van Bock took the initiative to contact the Imperial Military Department and proposed a plan for a counteroffensive. And the most important reason is to find out the true strength of the demons.

So far, the human alliance still knows nothing about the strength of the demons. How many troops are there, how many top powerhouses are there? If you don't understand that, you can't make a plan for the next step. So Van Bock wanted to launch a counterattack and completely expose the strength of the demons. In a word, in fact, this counteroffensive is a super-large-scale fire reconnaissance.

Since it is a fire reconnaissance, it must be fought hard and fiercely. It is not possible to have fewer troops, so Count Daniel's Imperial Northwest Army and Dip's troops are all included.

Of course, fire reconnaissance is not to send people to death. If the war goes well, it can turn into a real counteroffensive. It even helps the defense of Lion's Tooth City. The danger is great, and so is the reward. So Van Bock decided to take the plunge.

The campaign was personally commanded by Van Bock. Count Daniel, like Dip, is reduced to a character who directly obeys orders.

Planning isn't complicated. The Northwest Army of the Empire will be divided into two parts. A part of it will move in quickly and occupy a place called "Selei Fortress". Located more than a hundred miles east of Lion's Tooth City, the Serley Fortress is an external barrier to Lion's Tooth City, and is still in the hands of the Red Lion Duchy. And this time in the counteroffensive, the Serlei Fortress will become an important offensive fulcrum and retreat guarantee.

The other part will work with the nearly 90,000 cavalry of the Red Lion Knights, with the Celestial Fortress as the center, to attack in two arcs and carry out a powerful in-depth counterattack. As for the "depth" of this counterattack, and how to grasp the situation, it will be up to the generals themselves to judge. But there is one thing that must be guaranteed - to force out all the strength of the demon race as much as possible.

There's nothing to say, just do what you order! Dipu and Count Daniel simply distributed the troops, in addition to Dipu's original troops, the 15,000 Beamon troops were also distributed to Dip. In this way, Dipu had 20,000 cavalry of the Red Lion Principality, 20,000 of William's division, 10,000 of the Knights of the Holy Spring, 20,000 of the Beamon troops, and 3,000 of the Guards Regiment and Ma Kai and other fragmentary voluntary joiners. The total strength reached nearly 75,000 troops. And this unit is carrying out counteroffensive missions, with strong combat effectiveness, and basically all cavalry.

Count Daniel led the remaining 240,000 infantry to reinforce the Lion's Tooth City and the Fortress of Serre. And along the way, they were responsible for attracting the attention of the demons and providing cover for the two counterattacking troops.

After the assignment, Dipu returned to his troops. As soon as I entered the barracks, I found that my officers had excited looks on their faces. Ma Kai said casually: "Haha! Your Excellency, I thought you were lying to us, but I didn't expect there to be a counterattack." I'm sorry for you. Hahaha!"

"Hehe!" said Dip laughed dryly. I didn't expect to hit it crookedly, and I was really told that I had a "big plan".

"Right, dear?" said Feigul, looking at Dipu with a smirk, inadvertently telling the truth.

Finding that Du Lilan was fighting again and wanted to fight back, Dipu hurriedly pulled her away: "Don't pay attention to the little fox, she ......"

"Okay!" Du Lilan looked Dipu up and down with very, very suspicious eyes, "You don't even want to say anything about the fox spirit, and you still call her a 'little fox'?"

"Hey, Grandma!" said Dip, crying and laughing. It's all this time, why is the suspicion still so serious?" "You cross the river quickly, and we will set off soon." Stay here and I'll go back as soon as possible. ”

"That'...... Be careful. ”

"I know, I know!" said Di Pu with a smile at Du Lilan......

......

Seven days later.

Dipp's side has turned into a grocery market, and they are all shouting in a mess:

"There are enemy troops on the left and right, retreat quickly!"

"Fools know about retreat, do you need to say it? But where to retreat? Our back road is broken, we are surrounded. ”

"Rush forcibly, at least Lion's Tooth City is still there, and they will always answer. ”

"The paralyzing one is the plan made by the group of idiots in the Red Lion Principality, and they are still sent to the door?"

"Soul Fade, do you Tamar want to duel, what does it have to do with our principality, it's all the rubbish of your empire. ”

"What else are you humans going to do but quarrel? It's been eight lifetimes, and we, the Beamon Warriors, are with a bunch of waste. ”

"Who are you talking about?"

“......”

"All right!" said Dip, who finally couldn't help but yell. As soon as he saw the communications soldiers hurrying towards him, he hurriedly asked, "Have you made contact with Lion's Tooth City?"

The communications soldier hurriedly said, "Report to your lordship: Lion's Tooth City will let us decide for ourselves. Also, the military department also came with an order: let's bring back as many troops as possible. It's best to help defend Lion's Tooth City, and if not, strengthen the defense line of the Guana River. ”

After a moment's consideration, Dipu immediately ordered the officers who were watching him: "Toward the Guana River, go at full speed." ”

As soon as he heard this order, Willy hurriedly stepped forward to remind: "Go in the direction of the south, a large number of demons have been found. ”

Dipu was so angry that he slammed his fists into the trees on the side: "Caotama, which direction is there no large number of demons now? )
