216. Tactical Meeting

One night at magic, Rand and Dugan discuss tactics on the map.

"I recently met the White Owl Robenqi White Lord, a high-ranking knight, deputy head of the White Owl Order, his father was the archons of the Northern Earls, the eldest son of His Majesty Dusen. His Majesty the King has many wives, and the age gap between his children is not small. For example, Luo Benqi is about the same age as Li Qi, and the two have grown up together since childhood, and there is no gap in generation.

Luo Benqi, the deputy head of the regiment, is not comparable to the kid from your maned wolf family, there are at least 3 intermediate knights and 20 junior knights in his knights."

Dugan's meaning is obvious, according to the pure combat effectiveness, the strength of the knights of the white owl is equal to that of the galloping knights of the Lante, and the combat effectiveness of the knights above the junior level, the Lante only has two more intermediate knights than the white owl.

"He also went to school in the Blue Dragon School, he is a well-known swordsman in the school, and he even learned a little magic from the magician of the family, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't be trapped by the other party's entire position."

"Will his knights be staffed with magicians?"

"No, generally speaking, unless you are a magician above the intermediate level, you will not go to the battlefield, but the cost of a magician above the intermediate level is very high," Dugan explained, "Unless it is a knight order of Longtai Mountain, there will be no mages or priests in a small knight order. ”

"Then there's a problem, their knights add up to no less than 60 people, and the opponent only has 70 demon supporters, how can they be surrounded by people if they withdraw without fighting?" Rand wondered.

"My lord, you are not familiar with woodland warfare, the cavalry is not easy to deploy in the woods, it is easy to be divided into several small pieces, although the half-orcs of the herbivore clan are not strong in combat, but it is difficult to catch up with them on horseback in the woodland" Dugan pointed to the map while analyzing, "Although the two teams are quite numerous, they are all according to the plan made by the opponent with only 30 people, and it is normal to divide the troops to pursue, once the troops are divided and calculated by the half-orcs"

"Haven't they experienced a life-and-death battle?"

"Then look at how it compares, compared to the movement on the flagpole on the head of the enemy chief last year, you can't fight a few battles of life and death in a year." Duggan covered his mouth and laughed.

"Don't mention that paragraph" When Lan Teke was about to leave the Blue Dragon School, he realized that his previous 'feat' had spread all over the royal capital, and he was identified by the Chronicles of the Dragon Kingdom as the most brutal barbarian in the past 10 years. "They are afraid of death and don't say anything, and they think I'm cruel, I don't cut the head of the goose alive, can other barbarians be so obedient?"

Du Gen also held back for a long time before he put the "evil god sacrifice" on his lips into his stomach, "But you are right, the white lord is a person who can't accept failure, and when he tested swordsmanship in school before, if he wasn't sure that he could defeat his opponent, he wouldn't fight easily." ”

In your words, Rand probably knows what the problem of the white owl and the maned wolf is: underestimating the enemy, adventuring, being divided by the opponent, in addition, the terrain is unfavorable, and he does not have enough will to fight. Perhaps for the two sons, they originally thought it was just an armed march to make a name for themselves.

"Before they went to war, they didn't think about what they would do if their opponents were too strong. What should I do if I lose contact with my team? Rand was puzzled by the tactical literacy of the two future counts.

"The Frostwolf Forest is different from the Galloping Horse Plain, when people mention the Galloping Horse Plain, they always think that the barbarians here are fierce, but when it comes to the Frostwolf Forest, they all think that the orcs there are vulnerable" Dugan shook his head, "I got the news in the royal capital, not only our count, but also on the Kirislav side, the battle situation is even worse, at least 5 knights have died." It was the imperial capital's notice of death and final action. ”

"When the time comes, you will lead the barbarian cavalry, cruise here, don't enter the forest easily" Now that he has a new understanding of the battle situation and the battlefield, Rand has probably thought of the corresponding tactics, he pointed to the two besieged locations, "I will break in from here with Tania"

"Is that okay?" Dugan was a little stunned, "We don't have many people, and we shouldn't divide our troops." ”

。。。

In the early morning of April 25th, Rand's nine troop carriers finally arrived outside Mane Wolf City, and the barbarians were very uncomfortable with the boat, and many cavalrymen were seasick, so all the more than 200 men and horses got off the ship to make a fire and cook all morning.

The Count fulfilled his promise and asked the steward to bring food and monster meat to the river bank to work the army, but he didn't expect that the army of 150 knights and cavalry that Rand said was not counting the number of 10 demon supporters and 40 demon supporters, so the food was still a lot worse.

Towards noon, the 10 boats provided by the earl's family also arrived, and the cavalry boarded again and set out east.

In order to allow the reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible, the earl also made a full budget, and then dispatched a wind goblin, and the fleet marched, with the water goblin in the head boat and the wind goblin in the last ship, which happened to be smooth sailing, and the waterway of less than 100 kilometers arrived in the afternoon.

The Frostwolf Forest is a coniferous forest, but the ground is overgrown with weeds, making it difficult to peek inside the forest from outside the forest. To prevent accidents, at a distance of 3 km from the edge of the forest, Rand ordered to disembark from the shore.

After a few months of training, the Galloping Knights are most familiar with camping and camping, and now with Tenya, they are even more handy.

The whole camp is like a boxy city, with a 6-meter-high and 2-meter-high earthen wall, a 5-meter-wide and 2-meter-deep trench outside the wall, and 12 10-meter-high watchtowers around the earthen wall. The establishment of such a luxurious camp in such a short period of time stunned the representatives of Dugan and the Maned Wolf family.

"My lord, if Mentor Tenya has this ability, why do we still have a tent? Why not just build a castle? Looking at the earth elemental storm around Tenya as the wall continued to form, Dugan asked Rand quietly.

"The castles in your fiefdoms are all built like this, in fact, you can also build castles directly, but I just don't want to be cheap, Earl" Rand waved his hand.

"You mean, the castles in our fiefdoms are ready-made?" Dugan's heart blossomed with joy when he heard this.

"I can't give you a piece of white land, can I? The castle is ready-made, and the people find it themselves" What Rand didn't know was that when his ancestors arrived in the baronies of Roth and Galloping Horse, they built it entirely on the white ground.

"Don't worry, my family is prosperous, and it won't be a problem to get together 100," said Dugan Lanlong happily went to arrange the sentry.

Dugan was also fighting with Rand's knights for the first time, and he found that both the cavalry and the knights ate the same food, all of which were mutton soup, meat sausages, and roasted naan, but the several jars of pickled melons carried by the logistics were not tasted anywhere else.

"Knight Dugan, have you seen the Viscount and Mentor Tenya?" A knight came over to inquire, and his question alarmed Pete Maned Wolf, who was also in the camp.

"What? Adults gone? ”
