To conquer Blackwater!

Cross's words once again stunned everyone, even Wendy.

"Cross, you're not kidding!?" was Gawain the first to express his attitude, he felt that Cross was messing around, with the current combat strength of Copper Mountain Town, how could it be possible to capture Blackwater Town.

As for the others, they were waiting for Cross's reply.

"I'm not kidding, Gawain, Lancelot, and Nia, tell me roughly how many enemy forces there are in Blackwater. ”

"At least a hundred!"

"Are you sure? We're fighting for real. ”

"Not so much, the number of enemy soldiers should be between 50 and 60. Nia replied earnestly.

This amount was within Cross's expectations, and according to Cressia's intelligence, the goal of the Seatta Kingdom's military operation this time was very clear, that is, to completely eliminate Reinhardt's troops. So, they only want a quick victory, and they will send all their elite to attack Reinhardt, and Blackwater is just a staging post for them.

Moreover, Cross was sure that if Blackwater didn't have so much food this time, they wouldn't be stationed there at all, and they would turn Blackwater into a dead city just like they did last time.

In response to Nia's answer, Cross nodded with satisfaction, "Nia, I believe in your information. ”

But even so, it is still quite difficult for Tongshan Town to take Heishui Town.

Those Seatta soldiers are fully armed and experienced in battle, and it is good that other people in Copper Mountain Town can play a little role except for Cross and Nia, not to mention, Cross can no longer rely on the power of the bloodline, otherwise, he will be devoured sooner or later.

Then, this time the battle must not be fought hard, but can only be skillful.

While everyone was waiting for Cross's battle plan, Nia raised doubts.

"But, Lord Cross, the food isn't necessarily still in Blackwater, and Seajarda's army may have already transported it. ”

"Yes, Nia is right, the food has probably been transported. Gawain echoed.

"No way! They can't take that much food by land. Lancelot objected.

"Why can't it?" asked Gawain.

"Gawain, let Lancelot finish. ”

"Yes......"

"Lord Cross, I observed when I was in Blackwater, there are no carriages or horses in Blackwater, only boats.

Moreover, most of Seatta's army is infantry, and their military rations have been filled with grain trucks, and they can only rely on manpower to transport the grain left behind in Blackwater Town, and it is obviously impossible to transport so much grain away in a short period of time. ”

Lancelot's words gave everyone some confidence.

"Good. Cross also affirmed Lancelot's intelligence, which was similar to his speculation.

And Lancelot's words also made everyone's attention focus on how to conquer Blackwater.

That's right, more intel is needed to conquer Blackwater.

"Looks like you've got my mind, Blackwater, and you have to take it.

I have a rough plan for the battle, but before I can do that, I need more information from the three of you. ”

"Yes!" Nia and Lancelot were already in shape, and Gawain was a beat slower.

"Tell the time first, starting from Tongshan Town and going down the Heishui River, how long will it take to reach Heishui Town at the earliest?"

"One day and one night!" replied Nia, confidently.

"At this speed, you need to row a boat with manpower. Gawain added.

"And it can't be interrupted. "Finally, Lancelot's addition.

The conversation between several people made Wendy and the others enter the state, and they inadvertently became nervous and excited, because they had determined that the capture of Blackwater Town was inevitable.

The speed of the waterway was somewhat faster than Cross expected, but fast was a good thing, and the main point of his battle this time was to take it by surprise.

After getting the general information, Cross began to tell the battle plan.

"I summarize the battle plan for this capture of Blackwater Town in five words, 'Blackwater One Night City'.

The key to this victory is to build a small stronghold in the north of Blackwater, on the north bank of the delta, overnight.

As long as the construction of the fortress is completed, Blackwater can be self-defeating. ”

Hearing such a battle plan, everyone was stunned again.

Everyone knows that Blackwater Town is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and this is easy to defend and difficult to attack because of Blackwater Town's special geographical location.

Blackwater is located in the delta in the middle of the Blackwater River, to the south is the dangerous Dusk Mountains, and it is impossible for the enemy to attack from this direction.

To the south-east is the Black Ridge Gorge, a narrow strip of land between the Black Ridge and the Dusk Mountains. This canyon was often covered in fog, and the march was extremely difficult. And Seajarda's army chose to march from the Black Ridge Gorge in order to quickly defeat Reinhardt's main force.

Black Ridge is a mountain range parallel to the Dusk Mountains, which runs from the north of Buluobao in the southeast to the east of Blackwater in the southwest. The northern part of the Black Ridge is the lower reaches of the Heishui River.

Therefore, the south-east of Blackwater Town is the Heiling Gorge, and the east is the lower reaches of the Heishui River, which are not easy places to enter.

As for its north and northwest sides, there are Heishui River as a natural danger barrier, and it is not easy to attack.

Because of Blackwater's geographical location, troops attacking from any direction will inevitably stop at the riverbank before they can continue to attack Blackwater, and once the troops stop stationing, they will be attacked by arrows in Blackwater.

In this way, it is only possible to reach Blackwater Town by relying on a large number of death squads to reach the front, so it is barely possible to capture Blackwater Town, at least twice as many troops as Blackwater Town.

But Cross discovered Blackwater's biggest weakness.

As long as there is a stronghold on the north bank of Blackwater that is taller than Blackwater, Blackwater cannot damage intruders by shooting arrows, and the soldiers in this stronghold can shoot arrows at Blackwater, and the constant arrows will make Blackwater's soldiers quickly lose their resistance, so that Blackwater will not be able to attack itself.

In fact, Close is not the first person to have such an idea, in the military academy, Blackwater Town has also been used as a battlefield simulation, in the simulation, some people have proposed such ideas, but they have been rejected because they cannot be realized.

Because it takes a lot of time to build a Stronghold, as long as the guards in Blackwater find out that the North Shore is building a Stronghold, then Blackwater can immediately launch a counterattack to stop the construction of the Stronghold, so this idea is meaningless.
