Chapter 1144 (1/2)
On the twentieth day of the armistice, it was sunny and windless.
After the first imperial horn and Eagle howling in the morning, the saxophone Empire and the Azores Elven warriors began to assemble their troops without any communication, contact and negotiation, and gathered in an open area by the gem river outside the city.
So far, taking ”the war of the heavenly palace” as the starting point and lasting for more than a year, the ”elf invasion” starts with eboden and ends with eboden, which is about to come to an end in this famous port city of the Empire.
The narrow battlefield limits the total forces that both sides can invest in the battlefield. Even if the whole battlefield is paved, the forest is leveled and the hills are occupied, both sides can only invest about 100000 troops respectively, and the rest can only be used as reserve forces.
But both the Azores and the saxophone Empire have bet everything!
During the long preparation period, Brandon and his advisers and Archduke worked out various battle plans almost all night, one by one, applying every little force to the limit and turning each battle plan into an extension of greater tactical arrangement.
When the last batch of supplies arrived at the camp with the last assembled Saxophone reserve army, Brandon, who chattered all day and all night, left his advisers and dukes for the first time and went back to the camp to have a good sleep.
Because he knows that these are all his capital and confidence - the financial, human and material resources accumulated over 13 generations from the first Supreme emperor to his brother Connor I will be piled on the gambling table to fight the enemy.
If we lose the war, the sakran Empire and the de saleon family will no longer exist, all the meanings represented by our surname will no longer exist, will be erased from history by the enemy, and will be forever regarded as a disgrace and forgotten by all future generations.
This is the ”100th board” left by his father, his majesty Eckhart II, the twelfth generation supreme emperor of the Empire.
He must have guessed that nothing could be hidden from him.
Everything was expected by the great Eckhardt II.
Die without hesitation and hand over the final decision to his unpopular ”disgraced Prince” - in the past, if someone told Brandon that you were the secret weapon in the eyes of Eckhardt II that was enough to determine the fate of the Empire, he probably wouldn't even have the interest to smile.
Because Brandon himself doesn't believe it, because his beloved brother connord is the first heir in order. Even if there is such a hero, it must be him.
But now... The absurd joke has become a reality, and everything seems to have been calculated by the father emperor long ago - the death of the elder brother has made the Empire completely united. Relying on the plan he had completed long before his death, he has gathered all his forces and has the capital to start an all-round war with the Azores.
Ridiculous? That's ridiculous.
But this is indeed a reality, and it is so bloody in front of me.
Brandon de sallion, who had slept for two days and nights, walked into the conference room on the third day, picked up the plan made at the last moment when he was awake from the table, and patted it on the map to show that it was it!
The whole plan focuses on the core battlefield. Everything is based on the rapid completion of the decisive battle, so as to block the enemy's attack at the beginning with all elite forces, and quickly end the battle after confirming that the enemy's ”super alchemy bomb” has been destroyed.
If a complete victory is achieved, the two wings will launch a comprehensive siege of eboden, led by the light infantry of Elman and the Hussars of Boyi, and advance rapidly with sufficient reserve forces, regardless of casualties and costs, in order to push down all the resistance of the enemy at the fastest speed and turn eboden into ruins;
If the war situation is unfavorable, under the cover of rear line projection weapons, light cavalry and square array, the 100000 elite in front operation should retreat to the position built by trenches, earth bases, arrow towers and various defense facilities, meet with the reserve army, rebuild the military line, open the width of the battlefield, surround and destroy the enemies who break through the defense line.
At the same time, the Azores are also frantically deploying their troops - if the front line can't deploy too much, they should deploy several more layers. Trenches and walls surround eboden layer by layer; Looking down from the dome, it is like a huge target plate, and the center of the target is the eagle king's court.
At this stage, both sides are ready to fight until the last soldier, and neither side intends to withdraw from the battlefield when the other side dies, vowing to carry the war to the end.
There is no room for maneuver, no room for negotiation, and there is no possibility of compromise - from the moment akhat II was killed, the two conveniences have been destined to be an immortal relationship.
As for kindness, compassion, demeanor... It has long been a luxury for each other, which can only be enjoyed by winners.
The dice have been rolled... Win or destroy!
All the bounties were scattered, the last feast was enjoyed, and the last drop of wine in the cup was drunk. The soldiers in full armed and waving battle flags set foot on the battlefield with morale like a rainbow in the shouts of the officers and the blessings of the priests.
The first thing erected on the battlefield is always the iron crown flag held by the three dragons.
A total of 15000 elite veterans from the royal guards of duanjieshan fortress and Tianqiong palace, the most elite of the saxophone Empire, are arranged in the central position at the core of the battlefield, directly in front of the hills and highlands where the Chinese army is located.
The terrain here is a little more complex. There are intermittent steep slopes everywhere. If the ordinary shield wall or long gun array is arrayed here, it will only be torn and broken by the terrain; Only the veterans of the ”black city wall” know how to move flexibly in this terrain and can't be easily broken.
In the open area directly in front of the Chinese Army battlefield and facing the enemy in front, Brandon placed the shooting army ”borrowed” from Loren Turin and a group of elite boa Hussars at the front of the square.
Their task is to slow down the enemy's march speed as much as possible before the formal war, drag the enemy, so that the Legion can have positive contact with the enemy as late as possible, or cause more casualties to the enemy before the Legion charges, depending on the situation.
Brandon, who has been in Boyi for several years and witnessed the strength of the shooting army outside the capital, has absolute confidence in these two armies.
The direct commander of the regiment was Brandon de saleon, and the deputy commander of duanjie mountain, dreisis, was really responsible for commanding them.
Their task is to hold on to the position after the enemy meets the array, kill the enemy's fighting spirit as much as possible, and block the enemy with layer after layer of shield wall... Just like every battle of the saxophone for thousands of years.
On the right side of the saxophone legion, the terrain is the most changeable, and there are even large tracts of forest land that have not been completely eradicated, in ambush of the combined Arles elmand lottel Legion.
The legions of the three principalities are all the elite divisions who are best at scuffle in the Empire - to some extent, their victory or defeat will also determine the victory or defeat of the Empire; Once the right-wing line is defeated, the saklan Legion exposed on the flank will only end up with the total defeat of the whole army.
The entire right flank is fronted by Troll hunters from Arles; According to Brandon, these soldiers equipped with heavy crossbows and tomahawks are the best sharp soldiers. Naturally, they should have corresponding honors and be the first to fight the enemy.
