In the conference room of the military tent, Zarbol, Raul, Bernstein and others had just arrived, and the twin brothers Apollo and Rehog also came to the military tent.
After a brief introduction, Raul spread out a combat map, with red and blue markings on the situation of both sides. Raul said: "The current red mark marks the location and direction of action of our army. From now on
In terms of situation, there are 50,000 Yinhuang troops in the royal capital city and about 10,000 Guards troops. The reconnaissance of the southern army from the south found that there are about 60,000 to 70,000 troops, and they are still increasing, but previous intelligence
It shows that the number of troops coming from the south this time is about 80,000 to 100,000, and it is estimated to be based on 100,000 troops. However, during the battle between Bernstein and the Yinhuang Army today, a small group of thousands of armed personnel appeared.
The Yinhuang Army intercepted our army, causing slight losses to General Bernstein's troops, but not too much."
Bernstein unbuttoned his cloak at the collar and said: "Prince, I have sent scouts to investigate this group of people, and there is no news back yet."
Raul said: "That is to say, the known garrison of the royal capital may be around 160,000, but if you include this group of unidentified militants, the enemy's army will be more than 160,000."
Zarberg said: "Well, we need to find out the identity of these unknown troops as soon as possible and determine the number of combatants they may have."
Panota said: "On this point, our spies staying in the royal capital will also help to find out."
"Tell us about our current situation." Apollo suddenly said.
Raul raised his head and glanced at Apollo, then pointed to the map and said: "Currently, the total number of troops here and Bernstein's is 63,000, of which there are 7,000 independent magic troops and four independent air troops.
There are a total of 16,000 cavalry regiments, among which three air cavalry regiments are General Bernstein's Red Eagle Army, and there are also about 20,000 General Demans' city defense troops. Not counting the troops being transferred, the total is 80,000
More troops."
"Eighty thousand versus 160,000." Rehog said: "This is completely opposite to your original plan, Zalberg."
Zarberg said: "The original plan was to let Yinhuang, the city defense army plus Raul and Bernstein's troops defend the royal city, and then use the follow-up troops to encircle and annihilate Monica's three southern armies. Now what happened
With the change, our combat plan has also changed. Generals, what do you think?"
Bernstein said: "The current situation is that those in the Southern Army give priority to holding on to the Royal Capital City, and we have an advantage in military equipment, so I feel that we will never give them too much breathing space."
"But the problem is that if the Yinhuang Army participates in the defense, the Royal Capital City will inevitably be impregnable. Although I also agree with General Bernstein's idea of attacking first, we must attack without force. Otherwise, we will suffer heavy losses due to the Royal Capital City's defense.
.”
"What are the opinions of other generals?" Zalberg looked at the others.
"I also agree with the two generals." One general said.
Another general said: "Can we adopt a strategy of siege but not attack? The royal capital is located in the center of the fertile wilderness, so in fact it is just an isolated city. From a geographical point of view, there are no natural dangers around the royal capital, which is more convenient.
We have to fight with a large army, and the royal capital's defenders are only at a disadvantage in terms of number of soldiers, so it is impossible to send more troops. We enticed the battle by sieging the city and cut off the supply connection with the outside world. After all, the capital is not a fortress on the front line of the battlefield.
Even if there are some grain supplies, there are tens of millions in the city to feed, and there will definitely be civil strife within ten days, and then the capital will be self-defeating."
Raoul said: "The idea is good, but can the Royal Capital City be surrounded? How many of us are needed to completely surround such a large Royal Capital City? Even if we don't say whether our army is enough, if it is surrounded, how many people will it take?
All our armies will inevitably be dispersed. When the time comes, the defenders of the royal capital will only need to concentrate their superior forces to find our weak points for assault, and they will not need to send large troops, and we will be exhausted."
Bernstein nodded: "Yes, this is a factor that must be considered. To besiege the royal capital requires too many people, and our soldiers are obviously not enough."
The city defense army Disman, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "I think this tactic may be feasible. The Royal Capital City is big, but as long as we guard the main roads leading to the Royal Capital, the defenders of the Royal Capital City will take advantage of us.
There is no way. My city defense army is very familiar with every plant, tree, and road in the royal capital. As long as we establish good reconnaissance and early warning measures and take early action after the enemy troops leave the city, we can completely defeat them.
Lock them in this 'cage' like headless flies."
Zalberg laughed: "If you can really implement this plan and achieve this step, Disman, I will definitely give you a big credit."
Disman smiled slightly and stopped talking.
Panota said: "But in this case, there is another factor that must be considered. There are many floating people from other places in the royal capital, many of whom are very capable mercenaries and adventurers. If these people are mobilized by Halls and the others,
Get up, this will be a great threat to us."
Apollo said calmly: "Don't worry about this. These people are not easy to mobilize. This war has nothing to do with them. Even if we fight to the death with the Royal Capital Army, we will not hurt them. They will not do anything for them."
He paid his precious life for this war. What's more, King Radat's current whereabouts are unknown. Although he doesn't know what the situation is, without the appeal of the imperial monarch, Halls and a few southern governors alone cannot mobilize these people.
.”
Zarberg said: "Not to mention those mercenary warriors from outside, even the nobles and royal city members in the royal capital, they can't mobilize."
Rehog chuckled and said, "With a royal family like you here, do those clowns dare to come out and cause trouble? They are also afraid that you will purge them after you capture the capital city."
Suddenly, the sound of military horns was heard outside the military tent, and everyone in the tent raised their heads: "It's an enemy attack!"
"Go back to camp quickly." The generals left immediately.
Raul said to Zarberg: "Prince, you don't have to worry. After their spies were driven away, I have already expected that they will attack at night tonight, and the soldiers and soldiers are already prepared to take precautions."
Zarberg put his hands behind his back and said: "I'm not worried. If you can't even protect me, then there will be no need to continue the subsequent war."
Outside the military tent, Hohenheim personally led the troops. The old headquarters of the Yinhuang Army, Demol and Jeter, also went out with the army. In addition, General Mutoso personally led the Lightning Knights, and his subordinates were the fierce general Maicon; Governor Mei
A total of 80,000 troops from Luo, the vanguard beast general Langya and the stone general Biso suddenly attacked Zarberg's army camp at night, preparing to wipe out the enemy army that had not yet been assembled in one fell swoop.
"Kill!!" The ear-splitting cry of killing suddenly broke through the silent night. The 10,000 Silver Huang Army led by Jeter was the first to fight against the new troops in the southwest. These new troops were temporarily mobilized by Zalberg during the day.
Those who have come here have not yet finished gathering, and there are only over 20,000 people.
Jeter turned into ice and rushed to the front. A huge snow-condensed face of his own could be seen floating in the snow flow.
Snow burial·Angry avalanche!
The magic of elemental magicians has huge power, and the sudden collapse of hundreds of tons of snow is the prelude to the snow festival. A large number of enemy troops were flooded, and many monsters on the ground were swallowed up by the snow burial in the blink of an eye.
Yinhuang's elite came one after another through the snow.
Among the newly arrived troops, a general looked at the avalanche in front of him: "The Snow Demon should be Jeter, one of the four generals of the Yinhuang Army."
The four generals of the Yinhuang Army are knights, warriors, mages, and magicians. These new troops came well prepared, and naturally they also know the details of several generals of the Yinhuang Army.
An officer ran over and said: "General Iron Armor is in trouble. Large groups of enemy troops appeared on the left and right flanks at the same time. We are surrounded."
Iron Armor wore a purple-black heavy armor, holding a light golden threaded golden sword in his hand, and a standard shell skull helmet leaving only a T-shaped gap for his eyes, nose and mouth. He punched
The threaded golden sword like a stick ordered: "Pass my order, all soldiers must gather and fight while retreating, move closer to Raul's army, and at the same time request reinforcements from them."
"yes."
At the same time that the Jeter Army and the Iron Armor Army were fighting head-on, Mero's subordinates, Beast General Langya and Stone General Biso, each led an army of 5,000 to outflank the enemy from the left and right, cutting off the enemy's retreat. On the other side,
Seeing that the new army was surrounded, Raul immediately led his troops to rescue, but was intercepted halfway by 20,000 Silver Huang troops led by Hohenheim himself.
"General Raul, you and I have met several times and we are considered acquaintances. Give up resistance and surrender. A military coup is impossible to succeed. It will only destroy the unity and peace of the empire." Hohenheim rode on the air cavalry.
The monster shouted, and the sound was transmitted far through magic.
Raul quickly rushed to the front of the army: "We started to persuade you to surrender before the war started. Hohenheim, you are too confident in the strength of your Yinhuang Army!"
Raul's army far exceeds the normal establishment of the general army, with a total of 40,000 people. In addition, there are more than 10,000 and nearly 20,000 city defense troops. An army of more than 60,000 is enough to make people fear.
At this time Zalberg also arrived. He looked at the flaming army hundreds of meters away and shouted: "Hohenheim! Do you still choose to be my enemy? I will let you go once."
, there won’t be a second chance!” Beside Zalberg, apart from Kui Bui who was still recovering from his injuries, the lightly injured leader of the Black Feather Battalion, Dark Follower Kimmons, was already standing beside him.
The elites of the Black Feather Battalion such as Wai Souying, Shadow, and Faded One are all with him. His personal bodyguards, the Bloodthirsty Demon, Danzel and others are also with him, as well as the twin brothers, Apollo and Rehog, of course.
I won't leave him alone in such a dangerous situation.
