vs 57 Backstab (4)

On the evening of November 15,

At the front command post in the Cove Woodlands, an expanded military meeting is being held.

Pedi stood beneath the wall of the huge military map, holding two military newspapers in his hands, and the eyes of him and the dozen or so officers around him and the lower party were focused on them.

One of them is an expedited military report from Dwak City, a written letter teleported by magic!

The contents of the letter made Pedi hard to believe for a while...

The city of Twak has fallen!

This was a bit of a surprise to Pedi, because whether it was his staff office, the advisory group, or even the officials of Twak City, they all swore to Pedi... The city of Twak will not fall.

"Is Don Wright here?" asked Pedi, looking at the officers in the command post.

There was a surge of figures in the camp of the officers below, and soon Tang Wright came out of the crowd and bowed down and said, "My lord, I will listen to your dispatch at any time. ”

Pei Di's gaze swept over the face of Baron Danmen, the chief of military intelligence, and then looked at Don Wright fixedly and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

"Before the siege, Viscount Yarbowen was stabbed to death in his battle chamber. Don Wright's words immediately sparked a burst of discussion, and he had to raise his voice to report: "I have received information that Nishizawa-Dewen's men have rebelled against Viscount Yarbowen's close ministers a few days ago. ”

"Another fool who was killed by his own henchmen. Some noble generals couldn't help but mutter.

Baron Danmen suddenly took two steps forward at this time, walked up to Don Wright, stared at Don Wright's eyes with a pair of eagle eyes and asked, "When did you get the news?"

The discussion came to an abrupt end.

"Huh"

In an instant, everyone's eyes in the command post fell on Don Wright.

"I only got the news ten minutes before this meeting. Tang Wright calmly looked at Baron Danmen and replied, "If you don't believe it, you can go and check it, I believe that with your ability, you will find out." ”

Baron Danmen chuckled and took two steps back, and after a distance from Tang Leitra, he said, "I'll do my right, and you'd better not let me hold on to the handle." ”

"Let's get back to business. Pedi didn't mind the competition of his subordinates, but he minded the competition regardless of the occasion, he glanced coldly at Baron Danmen as a warning, and then looked at the chief of staff, Sir Glick, with another military newspaper and said: "The latest news detected by the scouts, there are at least two armies of the size of the regiment or above on the official road leading from Twak City to the Corvey Woodland, and their purpose is obviously to reinforce the orcs on the opposite side. ”

"Three legions, to be exact. Before Sir Glick spoke, Don Wright added, "I have just received information that the Twelfth and Sixteenth Banners of the Orcs, as well as the Third Legion of the Rebels, are rapidly reinforcing in the direction of the Corway Glades. ”

"How long will it take to arrive?" asked a young knight in the officer queue.

"Three days at the latest!" said Don Wright, looking behind him at the officer who was trying to find out what to question, "but their vanguard will arrive tomorrow evening." ”

"Your Excellency!" the young knight walked out of the queue, and he bowed slightly to Pedi, "If that's the case, we may be able to plan a surprise attack before enemy reinforcements arrive..."

"Bullshit's suggestion, do you want us to give up our advantageous geographical location and exchange it for orc attack and defense?" The officer next to him immediately jumped out to object, "There are at least two flag regiments on the opposite side, which means that we have the same number of troops as them, which means that this raid battle is likely to be dragged into a war of attrition, of course, if it is a positional war of attrition, it may be beneficial to us, but the problem is..."

"The orcs aren't as powerful as you think, with us..."

"I didn't say that orcs were powerful, I was just recounting one fact..."

"Shut up!" said Sir Bowenlet, who had been silent beside Pedy, interrupting the argument with a loud shout, then he looked at the young knight and asked, "What's your name?"

"Danri, Danri-Foran. The young knight replied, bowing down.

The Earl of Bane immediately whispered to Pedy, "A historic family south of Fort Herien, with a history dating back to the nomadic period of the Empire. ”

Sir Bowenlight's eyes lit up when he heard Earl Bane's explanation, and he said to Pedi, "We should let Knight Danri finish his advice, and we should give the young man more opportunities." ”

Naturally, the Earl of Bane would not object, and it was not easy for Pedi to refuse, so he looked at the knight and said, "Speak your opinion, and no one will interrupt you now." ”

"Yes, sir. Knight Danri bowed again, under the gaze of everyone, he did not have the calmness he had at the beginning, he looked a little nervous, but he tried to adjust his emotions, and after a short silence for a few seconds, he said: "From our reconnaissance report, it can be seen that the orc camp has almost no defenses, that is, the orcs will not think that we will take the initiative to attack their camp, this is an opportunity, if the time of the attack is placed at night, our chances of success will be greatly improved!"

Hearing this, Pei Di nodded involuntarily, and Pei Di's nod made the Danri knight more confident in his plan, only to hear him continue: "Besides, we have more than two legions in our hands, the Eleventh Legion is moving quickly towards the Corvey Glade, and its vanguard corps will be able to reach the designated place by tonight at the latest, I believe that as long as the Marquis of Daisiri is willing, it will not be a problem for the entire Eleventh Legion to reach the flank of the Corvey Glade tonight." ”

The young knight took a deep breath and continued: "This morning, the recruits in the rear have just replenished our battle losses in the past few days, in other words, we have three legions in our hands, and on the other hand, the orc legions, they have lost some of their troops in the battle of Twak City, and they were almost disabled by us in the battle of the previous few days, based on these, I have every reason to believe that the orc army opposite us will not exceed 20,000 at most!"

That's why I say this is an opportunity, and I suggest a surprise attack on the orc camp ahead of us before the orc reinforcements arrive!"

Knight Danri was silent for a few seconds before bowing again to show that he had finished speaking.

"Nice suggestion, maybe to consider. Sir Bowenwright immediately expressed his support.

"Really good advice. Without waiting for Pedy to answer, Chief of Staff Sir Glick hurriedly took over the topic, "But war is no joke, and this war is crucial. He first glanced at the Knight of Danri, and then said to Pedi, "If the orc reinforcements march in a hurry, they can reach the Cowei Glades in one day..."

"If this raid battle is successful, the battle can be resolved in half a day at most. Sir Bowenright immediately interrupted Sir Glick, "Knight Danri is right, this is our chance, a real chance, and there are not many such opportunities on the battlefield. ”

"What if it doesn't work, it's no child's play!" retorted Sir Gorrik at once, "now we should take advantage of these days to strengthen the defensive line of our position, we have hundreds of thousands of free labourers working for us, and in the coming days we can even build a row of improvised walls in the main defensive area." ”

Sir Glick's words made Pedi a little moved, in fact, in Pedy's heart, he was not in favor of taking the initiative, although he admitted that Knight Danri and Sir Bowenwright were right, this was indeed an opportunity, but Pedi did not want this opportunity, he wanted a stable situation.

Sir Gorrick has a point. Although Pedy's voice was very small, everyone subconsciously closed their mouths as soon as he spoke, and Pedy's gaze swept over Sir Glick and Sir Bowenlet, and finally fell on the Earl of Bane and asked, "Earl, whose plan do you think is more feasible?"

Earl Bane was stunned by Pedy's question, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and out of the corner of his eye, he looked at his retainer, Knight Danri, and said: "I think we should be cautious now, Sir Glick is right, we have hundreds of thousands of free laborers, we should make the most of our advantages." ”
