Chapter 1020 (2/2)
But this time connord's decision was almost the same as Loren's guess.
In fact, it's no big deal - the enemy came from the sea. Except for eboden, the remaining grey water bay and wuyueting, a barren land and a remote forest, are very difficult to supply.
The longer the delay, the more obvious the logistical disadvantage of the Azores; At the same time, because of their excessive strength, this disadvantage will only be exposed faster.
In several battlefields of the Empire, the fortress of duanjieshan is backed by East Saxony, the eboden blockade line is supported by the river channel of the gem River and the imperial capital materials, and even Shenlin fort has mobilized the manpower and material resources of the whole lottel.
Under such circumstances, it is the Azores who are most eager to make a quick decision and decide the outcome with a big decisive battle; As a qualified commander in chief, Conrad certainly won't satisfy the enemy.
On a battlefield that does not meet the enemy's expected combat time and is not suitable for the enemy to play, we launch an attack that fully meets our own expectations on the occasion that is most suitable for our own advantages - the so-called ”you hit you, I hit me”, which is probably the reason.
Drag them down, drag them down, until they have to attack madly and their morale collapses, and then concentrate their superior forces to annihilate them one by one.
This is probably the most idealized result of Connaught's strategic deployment.
However, there has never been any ”ideal” result in the world, and the war situation will also be affected by the internal contradictions of all parties; At this time, it depends on who can't sit still first, violates his own predetermined plan and makes frequent mistakes.
Moreover, connord must also think from the perspective of the heavenly palace: Brandon gained people's hearts in the battle of eboden, and Loren gained reputation. As the emperor of the Empire, he must win a big victory as soon as possible, at least by fighting head-on with the enemy to win back his reputation, so as to stabilize the trust of the Empire.
But if we want to fight outside the duanjieshan fortress, the only battlefield that can provide tens of thousands of troops for a decisive battle is the blood skeleton valley; This means that he should mobilize massive resources, prepare for huge casualties and fight a long-awaited decisive battle in the ice and snow.
Victory, of course, is good; But if it fails, it means that the fortress of duanjieshan has no more troops to stick to, and the enemies of the north will be able to drive straight into the hinterland of the Empire.
If at the same time, there are any changes in the battlefield between eboden and shenlinbao; The Empire will not be able to provide more military support, and may even be surrounded by the enemy's three-way army and waterway!
So Loren can understand how difficult connord is now.
”In that case, I think a force of about 5000 to 10000 would be a more reasonable number.”
After hearing the black haired wizard's reply, the Earl of the fort of wrath, Eckert, said in a deep voice: ”in order to avoid the same accident as the war of eboden, I think we should also be prepared to gather enough troops at the border between Bain and East Saxony as reinforcements when necessary.”
”Of course.” Lorraine nodded slightly and agreed with count Eckert's proposal - he might not have been able to hold on for a month without the reinforcements promised by the later Dukes (except Arles):
”The main infantry regiment is waiting for orders in red blood castle, and cavalry and light infantry gather at the border - qiaowang peak sends a thousand elite Hussars as messengers to be responsible for the communication between duanjie mountain and Bain.”
”Yes!”
The young voice of little bosival echoed in the round table hall.
”Then we'll arrange the strategic deployment.” the black haired wizard sighed with relief and looked around in front of the round table: ”this battle is very critical, so please be prepared. If necessary, Byrne may have to go all out, so...”
Just then, an inexplicable vibration suddenly came; Almost all the Earls around the round table raised their heads at the same time.
”Is this... An earthquake?”
Little bosiwar looked around inexplicably, with a bit of child panic in his clear eyes: ”I met once when looking up at the peak. It is said that the strongest earthquake even the castle...”
”There has never been an earthquake in the history of red blood castle, which should not be.”
Alert Charlotte immediately got up to stabilize the mood of the people, but she couldn't help but subconsciously looked at the dark haired wizard, but found that there was not any tension on the other party's face, even the opposite;
Is he... Still laughing?
The corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, and Loren's eyes lit up - yes, this degree of emptiness is the same as he felt last time. It must be him
”Boom --!!”
A loud noise shook the whole round table hall, and dust fell from the dome.
Thick smoke almost sealed the front door of the round table hall
Almost at the same time, the countesses changed their faces.
”It's the direction of the Duke's bedroom, guard --!” the count of fury castle, who was facing great enemies, first reacted and shouted at the door:
”Blockade the red blood Castle palace. You can't let anyone go...”
”Eckert!”
Loren, who got up slowly, stopped the count of fury castle and shook his head: ”there's no need to do this.”
”You said 'that man'... He has come.”
The vibration stopped and everyone around the round table looked out of the door.
A thin figure with messy hair was coming out of the smoke while coughing, muttering endlessly.
In my arms, I still hold something like a long gun.
”Cough, cough, cough... Sorry... Cough, cough... I... cough, I didn't expect... I didn't expect this thing to be so useless. I thought it was...”
As soon as he looked up, he was stunned and looked at a group of people who were also looking at themselves:
”I'm sorry, i... am I late? Is there any punishment for those who are late? I prefer the latter one to tell a joke. Recently, I have learned a lot to coax Lina to be happy; for example, when two friends met a bear in the forest, the first began to pray, the second began to tie his shoelaces, so the first asked the second...”
”No, you came just in time.” looking at the inexplicable Isaac on his face, the black haired wizard raised his mouth: ”we are ready to start.”
”Go? Where?”
Isaac's eyes lit up immediately, and the question just now was immediately thrown behind his mind.
”Go to a place you are particularly familiar with.” Lauren's face also showed a nostalgic smile:
”Duanjie mountain.”
