Vol 5 Chapter 26: 0 The Encirclement of the Account City (Part 2)

While Chakal was still tirelessly trying to capture the Qiancheng City, Loren was also completing the final deployment.
In the crowded camp, the knight lords with different looks but attentively stared at the map table, and the silence made the atmosphere a bit depressed.
No matter how scornful the Centaurs were before, they really had to fight head-on with them on the battlefield, and even face twice or even three times the enemy forces, they couldn't help but get nervous.
'S expressionless Loren's eyes were calm, and he looked indifferently at the location of Qiancheng City on the map, trying to pretend to have a calm look ... even if he was now so nervous that his palms were sweating.
After the battle of the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain and the previous raid with the Centaur Chiyan Banner, Loren finally mastered some of the basic rules of this game called "Real War".
The most basic one is the width of the array. The two-army array, the wider the array, the better the first hand, and the faster the soldiers can be put into battle; the narrower the array, the more confronted. The risk of being surrounded by two or even three sides.
It is very unfortunate that during the battle to rescue Thousand Accounts City, my side is the narrower side of the array. Not to mention the congenital body shape of the Centaur as a cavalry, more than twice the number of itself is destined to be unable to reverse this One disadvantage.
Secondly, a huge army with more than 10,000 people ca n’t move as fast and easily as a team of elves and dancers;
As the commander of the army, what Loren can do is to arrange a rough plan before the war to let them know the tasks they should roughly complete, who to fight, and the rest to the commander below to complete;
Once entering the established battlefield, they can only line up their positions and fight against the enemy according to the pre-war plan; only the generals of each department, and even the command level and judgment of the situation of the centurions of each team are the only details left;
If you change on the battlefield and give orders that are contradictory to the pre-war period, and even let the soldiers complete the "micro-operations" or large-scale maneuvers that they simply cannot imagine, they have to rely on radar maps and God's perspective to understand, then welcome this The army will be destroyed!
As a true commander of his first battle, Loren was considered lucky; his army was regarded as the elite division of the entire empire. The counts and knights under his command had experienced war, or at least understood war Of qualified commanders;
With the assistance of Eckert and Earl Angut and others, he can make up for it in time even if he makes mistakes.
But unfortunately at the same time, because his enemies are counted as powerful in the world, not barbaric tribes in deep mountains and wild forests, but an amazing number of centaur tribes who can compete with the empire;
In the face of the enemies that had been entangled with the two principalities of Byrne and Poy for hundreds of years, even the "Black Duke" Roland only defeated the expulsion and failed to completely eliminate it, how brilliant victory Loren could win will determine. How strong his duke status can be.
Not only did he have to win, but he had to be beautiful enough. In this war, "Rescue Poi" was not the key. How to become the leader of this war and gain enough reputation was what he had to face. problem.
"... Regarding the rescue of Thousand Account City, with the phalanx infantry as the core, gradually advance the plan waiting for the confluence of reinforcements ..."
Lorren raised his head and glanced calmly around the map table: "Do you have anything to add?"
"Even if our enemies are really as you expected, we are still a disadvantage in terms of numbers." Earl Eckert frowned, calmly analyzing:
"To ensure the safety of the Phalanx infantry, our cavalry must cover their loss of maneuverability, and they are likely to fight twice or even three times the enemy; the Centaur will not be foolish enough to strike the phalanx of the lance, both wings. The outcome is the key. "
The dark-haired wizard nodded slightly.
"If you can successfully withstand the enemy's first offensive, then the two sides will enter the confrontation stage and wait for us. It will be the endless night raids and wheel battles of the enemy." Aitek raised his head and looked at everyone seriously:
"I don't want to show any distrust to Boyi's brethren, but that's the case ... If the reinforcements can't arrive within five days, Byrne will have more than half of his casualties; after seven days, we have to consider a desperate fight!"
"Grandpa Eckert, you think too much!"
Salika, with a sword on her hips, wiped her nose hard and grinned out three slender fingers: "In three days! Within three days, Jonah's 50,000 huts will go to the Thousand Accounts City, and hit the Centaur with your wings. Barbarian! "
"But I have to say yes first, this is not for you and your prince, this is for my Ain cute ~"
Said, as the sharp-eyed Sallyka turned her head suddenly, letting the little wizard standing beside Loren tremble, turned her head in horror, and was caught by the wolf-like girl:
"Don't worry, for you, I just cut my uncles and will bring you 50,000 iron rides to save you within three days!"
The voice fell, and Ain, who was blushing, looked like a frightened rabbit, huddled quickly behind the dark-haired wizard, and she shivered without even daring to show her head, causing Salika to give another hearty laugh. .
Feeling the cloak behind him by the little wizard, Loren, who looked stiff, slowly looked back, and showed a very formal smile to Salika:
"No matter why, as long as the mission can be completed as scheduled, everyone in Qiancheng City will be grateful to you!"
"Thank you? Huh ..." Salika didn't look too angry, and was still very dissatisfied with her loss to the Duke of Byrne: "I think it's grateful to you ... The savior of the Thousand-City City, the Boys will always be Good friend, generous and kind Lord Duke Loren? "
The irreproachable Loren just glanced at her and did not answer the question.
Is not this nonsensical?
"Well, that ... although it is a little offending, I hope you can put the rescue of Grand Duke Varna first."
The pale-faced Earl of Saitbulah was vomiting, and hesitantly said: "There is still enough food and thousands of troops in the Thousand Accounts City. It is very stable, and the Grand Duke Varna is the one who is really at stake."
"The kind of old thing that beaten the battle and died to face, for the sake of his grandson to drag the entire Poi into the water, let him die early!"
The caricature of Salika coldly said: "Why is he more important than Thousand Account City? It's not enough to lose so many lives ..."
"We will rescue Archduke Varna, but not now ... Earl Sethbraha."
Suddenly interrupted Selika, and the calm voice of Loren ignored her directly: "Thousand-account city is the core and the key to Poi. We can't afford the risk of Poi's fall ... Grand Duke Laslovana, you can also hold on!"
For a moment of silence, Sette Braha slowly lowered his head and sighed helplessly: "I understand that within three days, I will gather as little Boe's army as possible to rush back."
Salika turned her head around her shoulders ~ EbookFREE.me ~ looked disdainful.
As the two lords of Poe expressed their views, Loren also began to give orders to the knight lords one by one, ordering their responsibilities.
According to the plan, the ten thousand square infantry will be divided into six parts, gradually approaching the enemies in the siege in the form of a chain fortress; the cavalry command is unified, is a mobile force interspersed between various camps.
To explain in a more intuitive way, the infantry are the nails, and the cavalry is to avoid the full engagement with the enemy while advancing towards the Thousand Account City, compressing the enemy's range of activity and the depth of the battlefield, so that the Centaur loses its advantages in mobility and agility .
But this tactic actually has a very fatal problem ...
"On the prairie lacking rocks and wood, our camp can only be built for simplicity."
Earl Eckert said in a deep voice: "Only the camp defense line consisting of a cart, fences and pits is like paper in front of the Centaurs."
There was a silence in front of the map table. Obviously more than one person thought of this problem.
When everyone was silent, Master Ashamai, who remained silent, suddenly stood up:
"Regarding the difficulties of building camps, I have a method that can be used as an emergency ..." ...
