William's strategic layout is to let Sean, Rena and Cecilia lead the first cavalry regiment as the vanguard to occupy yedby fort in the shortest time. After that, William will lead the three troops of thunder lion, Cecilia guards and dark wings to join here, and then use this as a transfer station to divide two troops and go directly to yero city all the way, On the other hand, a front-line combat base will be established at the border between yedby and tinchein. As for yedby, it will become a logistics base to form a logistics supply route connecting panda, and the reserve with steel wings will maintain the safety of this route.

As for the steel wing regiment, the main purpose is to contain the troops led by tingqi; Another force responsible for occupying the city of Jero will also arrive at the reserve forces with steel wings. After the handover, it will immediately go to the front-line bases located in yadby and tinchiin.

All these strategic principles must be completed within four days.

However, what Sean and others did not expect was that Rob's territorial development policy was completely tantamount to accelerating Sean and others' aggression in disguise, and the whole battle plan was almost two days ahead of William's expected time.

On the morning of the third day of the war, two camps had been quickly established at the junction of tinchein and yadby, and they were more than 30 miles away from each other. This is a tactical adjustment made by William after that. Its main purpose is to lengthen the defense line led by tingqi. After all, the total force of Sean's attack this time is less than 20000. It naturally needs some tricks to face the 60000 army led by tingqi.

If you count the iron wing troops led by Dayi, these are three arrows for tinguin.

After all, the defender is no better than the attacker. As long as the territory borders each other, the attacker can choose the attack position and target at will. However, the defender can't do this, because the more vast a territory is and the more cities and towns there are, the more areas need to be defended. If the enemy has many attack targets and does not repeat, the defense line that the defender needs to open will become longer.

Under the limitation of military strength, once the defense is elongated, it means that the thickness of the defense line will become thinner.

Just like now, tingqi has 30000 private soldiers, but Domingo must assign 10000 people to guard the cities and towns of the territory to prevent Sean from sending small troops to infiltrate and destroy the rear, so in fact, he can only use 20000 private soldiers. But the 20000 private soldiers need to defend in three directions. On average, there are only more than 6000 people in each direction. In contrast, they have almost no advantage over Sean's three arrows in this regard.

However, in addition to the 30000 private soldiers, Domingo also has a second cavalry regiment with a size of 30000.

However, everyone knows that this force is not Domingo's private, but belongs to the kingdom of dabion. Therefore, Domingo can mobilize this cavalry force to assist in defense, but he can't fully devote this force to the defense of the whole territory. Therefore, in fact, the biggest role of these 30000 people is to rush for help, attack and harass - but with William's current strategic layout, Domingo's second cavalry regiment has only one rush for help.

At this moment, located in Hastings manor, the angry Domingo has smashed all the things that can be smashed in the study.

In the face of such a furious Domingo, the other members of the Hastings family in the study dared not speak, and their eyes fell on a map in the study.

This map was drawn temporarily. Due to the rush of work, many rough edges can be seen. Moreover, many of the drawings on the map are not particularly fine. Maybe only some outlines can be seen, but it is much better than other places in terms of strategic areas. Obviously, even if it is made in a hurry, the surveyor also knows the real function of this map, so he doesn't dare to be distracted on the real big problem.

Now, many red and blue flags have been inserted on this map, the most of which is blue, but there are only five red flags, which are located in three places, one in the left and right places, and only three in the middle. If Sean or William were here, we can see that the place where the five flags are inserted is exactly the three camps arranged by William, so the meaning of the five flags is self-evident.

On the left is the steel wing, on the right is the lion of thunder, and in the middle is naturally Cecilia guards, the first cavalry regiment and dark wings.

”How dare they!” Domingo's anger was not without reason.

Disputes between the nobles of two different countries, or even wars, are usually disputes between the two Lords. Unless other allies join, a larger war may break out. However, in any case, there will be a most basic guarantee, that is, no occupation of other territories, even the territory of enemy allies, and even if the territory is lost, it can usually be recovered through compensation afterwards.

This guarantee is protected by the oldest aristocratic law, and no aristocrat is allowed to violate it.

Even if Sean now owns Dayi and chilav, these two territories are actually the kingdom of dabion. Sean still gives part of the territory's tax to the kingdom of dabion every year. He is only the temporary representative of these two territories. As long as the kingdom of dabion is willing to offer compensation, the two territories will eventually be returned to the kingdom of dabion. Of course, it must be three years later, and now Sean has only occupied the two territories for one year.

All these are the hidden rules of nobility, and any nobility must abide by them.

But now, Sean directly occupied yedby castle, put Baron yedby in custody, and took the city of yero, which has completely violated the unspoken rules of the nobility.

”This is aggression!” Domingo roared, ”he's not even a noble...”

”He is already an aristocrat.” It was Thain who interrupted Domingo's roar.

Only the son valued by Domingo dared to interrupt Domingo at this time, and no one else dared to touch Domingo at this time.

”What do you mean?” Domingo turned his head and looked at his son.
