Hearing Victoria say this, William was stunned for a moment, and then quickly figured out what Victoria meant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The guy seems to be a little scared.

Well, no, it seems that two words can be removed. Yes, this guy is just scared. After the defeat of her naval forces, the guy began to feel weak. After all, the Bretons started out in the navy. If you don't have a strong enough navy, you can't guarantee your sense of security. And rightfully so.

William seemed to understand what Victoria meant. She wanted to retreat north. It is better to transport another batch of troops from the north to increase the combat effectiveness of your own side. Not to mention, she still has more than 30,000 troops in the north of the city. If these forces were concentrated, then at least in terms of forces, the coalition would not lose to the Visigoth-Asturian alliance.

That way, she can have a little peace of mind.

That's it.

Seeing that William didn't answer for a while, Victoria breathed a sigh of relief. She seemed to think she could convince William, so she continued, "In this way, we can shorten our supply lines and lengthen the enemy's supply lines." In addition to this, I also thought that the number of our army units is somewhat insufficient at the moment, and I decided to transport another 20,000 troops from the northern battlefield. In addition to this, I have decided to recruit another 20,000 mercenaries in the Old World. And the new expeditionary fleet will also be assembled in the shortest possible time. At that point, we can—"

I refuse. William interrupted Victoria before she could continue.

"What...... What refusal?" Victoria didn't understand for a moment what William was talking about.

"I mean, we can't go north. Although it is indeed militarily advantageous. William said calmly: "I will not allow myself to abandon an inch of land in the Neo-Gothic colony." Getting my enemies into Georgia is already my limit. I will never allow them to cross the Savannah River. ”

"But, in that case, we will have to use 30,000 troops against the enemy's 50,000 troops. Victoria said anxiously.

"It's not 30,000 people. William corrected: "Thirty-four thousand." I also have a militia unit of four thousand people. ”

"-- Mixed formations of immigrant and indigenous formations are of no use at all. Victoria said a little anxiously: "Even if your white army is really good at fighting, one to two, one to two is always enough." Then we only have 40,000 troops. Our fighting power is still no match for our enemies. In that case, we should-"

Eri secretly looked at Victoria with a very pitiful gaze, which made Victoria a little shy and embarrassed. But then, these shyness and shamelessness turned into anger: "What kind of eyes are you, am I wrong?"

"Of course. William said without hesitation: "Of course you are wrong. My army will not fail. Or rather, 'I' won't fail. No matter how many armies I have on my hands and how many enemies I have. I will not be defeated. ”

William said these words with great confidence. But in Victoria's eyes, William was crazy.

"You must be crazy. Such a simple comparison of numbers, even children can do it, they have more troops than us, so we will lose. It couldn't be simpler, or do you not even know it?" Victoria had some contempt in addition to anxiety, and some uneasiness in addition to contempt: "If you hold your own opinion, I'm—"

"--What are you going to do with your army, and run away like a lost dog?" said William, and stood up. Looking at his appearance, Victoria was a little nervous: "What do you want?"

William looked at her carefully, looked at her carefully. Milky white skin, long bright blonde hair, snow-white princess dress woven from the most expensive silk, and a face that captivates the country and the city.

"You know what?" asked William suddenly.

“...... What the. Know what?"

"Do you know what a general is?" asked William, "Do you know what a famous general is?" and finally William asked, "Do you know what a hero is, what courage is, and what a mind is?"

“...... What do you say is useless, we're discussing-"

"- Look, you don't know. William looked at her with pity: "After all, Victoria, you're just a woman. ”

After William had said this, Victoria stopped, and instead of speaking, she stared at William as if she were going to make a hole in William. And in this process, William looked at her without hesitation or fear, and looked at her calmly.

After this, Victoria lowered her head.

"Let's leave. William sighed, then said, "Think about why you hired me, hired my army to fight this war. Why am I standing here, and why am I being given command of this battle? Victoria, if you really want to leave with your army, then please, I won't stop you. Because then I can reap more honors, more joy of victory, and more benefits.

Defeat an army of 50,000 with an army of 34,000, and an army of 50,000 with an army of 14,000. But two completely different concepts. ”

"......" Victoria still didn't speak. After a few more moments, she rose to her feet in a rage, and when she looked up, William found that her eyes were already red.

"My army will continue to give you command, and if you lose, I won't spare you!"

After saying this, Victoria left in a rage.

William was the only one left in the room.

"Ah, although I planned to follow her in everything at the beginning, but I didn't expect that in the end, I still angered her. William sighed and sat back in his chair.

"But thankfully...... Otherwise, if this guy really leaves with 20,000 troops. This battle is really not easy to fight. ”

William thought to himself. Then I counted everything again.

"That's right, this war is at least seventy percent likely to be won. There was absolutely no problem with my plan. No matter who the enemy is, I will win. ”

......

Meanwhile, in Florida, William's opponents, the Visigoth-Asturian coalition, were ready to strike.

"After another week's march, we can reach Savannah, where our enemies are stationed, and their total strength is smaller than ours, only about thirty thousand. However, the number of artillery pieces was sufficient. In addition, that Highness is also a good opponent. ”

In the temporary expropriation of the manor house. The Visigoths and Asturian generals discussed the battle as they enjoyed cocoa and dessert.

Because of the victory in the naval battle before this, the morale of the coalition forces was relatively high. The generals and officers of the coalition army also seemed more relaxed.

"Yes, the crown prince of Russia, the heir to the Hereford family, is indeed a rare genius. Sitting in the center, the army general, the commander of the Visigothic army of the expeditionary force and the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Count Warren, smiled and said: "In the same way, defeating such an opponent will bring great glory to us, to the kingdom and the royal army. ”

After he said this, the officers and generals around him all laughed in agreement.

"My plan is to press the whole army. After this, Count Warren continued: "Surround Savannah with our superiority in numbers. If the other side wants to fight us, we can't ask for it. If they hold Savannah, then we'll besiege it. In any case, as long as we can defeat the 30,000 Britons and the Ostrogothic army. The victory in this war in the New World is in hand.

By that time, we'll all be heroes. ”

Although Count Warren's voice was calm. But what he said was very beautiful. Under his influence, the atmosphere of the scene became more lively.

......It was at this time that a discordant voice appeared: "To be honest, I have a slightly different opinion...... Can you tell me about that?"

After this, the laughter came to an abrupt end, and the officers looked over in amazement to see the short young man with blonde hair.

"It's that kid. That Corsican. Several officers who knew the guy whispered, "This guy always thinks he's smarter than the average person." In fact, he is a megalomaniac. Looks like he's ready to confront Count Warren. ”

"Say, young man. Although not too happy, the Earl of Warren still hoped that he would be given a chance to speak, in order to show his magnanimity: "Perhaps, you can have something new to make people shine." ”

Although he said words of encouragement, Count Warren's tone was still very flat, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Yes, thank you, Count. The young short man breathed a sigh of relief: "I mean, a head-on duel is too dangerous. Perhaps, we can change our tactical ......"

After that, the chatter between the officers and the generals became louder. Count Warren's complexion also became a little ugly. Still, he decided to keep listening: "Go on, young man. ”

"Yes, I think we can split up. We can contain their main forces while dividing a small force into the Neo-Gothic colony to plunder and destroy. We can use this tactic to demoralize the enemy, get supplies, and force the locals to work for us......"
