Chapter 293 Invasion across the board (for the head 3/5)
Grand Duke Buck sighed secretly in his heart. Talents are rare, and talents with both wisdom and courage are even rarer.
After careful calculation, I have quite a few champion knights, but there are really not many who can stand alone.
Having said that, people with simple minds and single-minded temperaments seem to be more likely to become champion knights.
Because this kind of people also have another characteristic, that is, they are more persistent and perseverant. It is easier to stick to one thing if they believe in it.
On the contrary, those smart people are attracted by too many things, their attention is easily distracted, and they are full of distractions, so they unknowingly use their brains and embark on the path of saving effort.
On the road of champion knight, people prefer to take it one step at a time. When using labor-saving methods, it also means that they are on the wrong path and need to spend more time and energy to correct it.
But once a smart person succeeds, his achievements will definitely be higher than those who are single-minded, because this person must have great perseverance, and the ability to burst out with a smart mind is far beyond what ordinary champion knights can match. It is the most typical
The representative is Dikron.
It was not that Archduke Buck had never had an idea of Diclon, but the philosophies of the two sides were very different, let alone whether the other side was willing to surrender.
Even if it was Ken, Archduke Buck wouldn't dare to use it.
For Archduke Buck, it is best for such a person to die, but the other party is more difficult than imagined.
Originally, Di Kelong ran to the Eternal Night Army Leader and the trouble had been solved. Unexpectedly, the Eternal Night Army Leader was his biggest potential opponent in the battle for the Swamp of Despair.
It’s okay if I didn’t know about it before, now I know about the existence of Yongye Army Leader.
Archduke Buck naturally attached great importance to it, and tried to weaken the strength of the Yongye Army Leader as much as possible and distract their attention before fully invading the Swamp of Despair.
The first thing that Duke Buck thought of was political skills, and it happened that the leader of the Yongye Army had a weak spot in front of him. Of course, he would give it a punch first.
The leader of the Yongye Army called his move to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but Grand Duke Buck called it throwing stones to ask for direction.
After all, the perspectives and information between the two parties are not equal.
The news brought by Sir Crest was superficial after all. Although it made Archduke Buck aware of the threat from the Eternal Night Army, how big is the opponent's power now? How many soldiers can he fight? Are he prepared to march into the Swamp of Despair?
To what extent?
That's completely unknown.
If the other party continues to hide in the Andes Mountains, Archduke Buck will not be able to find out its situation even if it takes another ten or eight years.
It is not that Grand Duke Buck has not tried to capture the merchants of the Yongye Army Leader, hoping to open a gap in them and understand the situation of the Yongye Army Leader.
But I never found the opportunity.
Due to the limited status of Baron Yongye, the ships of Yongye Army are greatly restricted on the Jacob River. The furthest they can go is under the control of Countess Angie Beina, the leader of Manyu Army.
The section can be freely entered and exited, and it is only a short distance of 200 kilometers to the end of the fiefdom of the Princess Regent.
The most important thing is that I don’t know whether it’s because the situation under the leadership of Man Yu is too chaotic or because of the usual behavior of the Yong Ye Army. These merchant ships come and go in groups, guarded by the warships led by the Yong Ye Army.
.
After arriving at the end of the land, they were also loaded and unloaded by the locals. The people led by the Yongye Army were fed and accommodated on the merchant ship. After finishing their work, they immediately turned around and returned to the voyage without making too many stops.
The time card is accurate to the minute. The people on the entire merchant ship are more like soldiers who follow orders and prohibitions than merchants.
In desperation, Archduke Buck could only send an elite team led by the Champion Knight to take the risk.
As a result, the front legs kidnapped the person, and the back legs were discovered.
The situation at that time was like poking a hornet's nest, not one, but three.
Not only the battleships and merchant ships led by the Yongye Army in the Jacob River were all dispatched, but the forces of the Regent Princess Sophia Liya and the Countess Angie Beina were also mobilized to conduct a frantic search and pursuit.
The businessman who was captured by the leader of the Yongye Army was an out-and-out diehard. As long as he was awake, he would yell to attract the attention of his own people and didn't care about his own life at all.
In that case, let alone asking for information, their elite team's escape was largely due to luck.
As for the prisoner, there was no chance to bring him out and he could only sink his body to the bottom of the river.
Grand Duke Buck is not afraid of breaking up with the leader of the Yongye Army, but the relationship with the regent princess must still be maintained.
Although the leader of the Yongye Army failed to follow the clues and get to Archduke Buck, he had already alerted the enemy, and the preventive measures of the leader of the Yongye Army were more stringent.
If you want to take action again, you need more rigorous planning and means.
Archduke Buck could only find other ways to obtain the information he wanted.
It is not a good idea to transfer the Eternal Night Army Leader out of the Andis Mountains, especially to the Byron Alliance, so that he can observe it at close range and assess the entire Eternal Night Army Leader through one-point speculation.
The reaction of the leader of the Yongye Army proved the correctness of Archduke Buck's guess. The other party was trying to join the Byron Alliance. This baron was a step up, more important than imagined.
Successfully lured Sean, the supreme ruler of the Yongye Army, out of his lair.
Before this, Grand Duke Buck was not sure about the weight this young man held in the Eternal Night Army.
But judging from the posture displayed by the other party, it was much heavier than he expected.
The number of ships mobilized also made Grand Duke Buck secretly worried. The potential of the Evernight Army Leader was far greater than expected.
Prior to this, Archduke Buck also made two preparations.
If the Eternal Night Army leads an envoy fleet that is too crude, they will use thunderous momentum to capture the thieves first and capture the king first, taking down their leader and causing them to fall into temporary chaos or internal struggle for power.
If the fleet dispatched by the opponent is strong enough, he will not be considered a failure, but will successfully achieve another strategic goal - to divide the naval power of the Yongye Army.
Without this hand, these warships would most likely become an obstacle to their march into the Swamp of Despair.
The only thing that Archduke Buck couldn't understand was that Sean didn't seem to be in a hurry to accept the award, and he was enthusiastically promoting the products of his own territory and starting a business.
Regardless of the outcome, the arrow is on the string now and must be fired.
Political means are only an auxiliary tool to achieve final victory.
It is said that it is very important, and sometimes it is indeed very important. The outcome of many wars has been determined in political games.
Saying it is not important, sometimes it is indeed not important. In the end, it all depends on military strength.
The battle between the Carter Army Leader and the Evernight Army Leader for the Swamp of Despair belongs to the latter, and now it’s time to show off their swords.
The general attack order issued by Archduke Buck, who was far away in the capital of the Carthusian Army, was carried by the mountain eagle, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and landed in Geqi City, where the Akmesse commander's tent was located.
After more than half a year of adjustments, Carter's military leaders have initially established an air communication model.
The one used was the Mountain Eagle from the Yongye Army Leader, purchased from the Yongye Army Leader at a high price through secret channels.
As long as there are other methods, they don't want to use the messenger eagles from their competitors. Who knows if there is a hidden secret door hidden by the other party? If those eagles pass through the hands of others after they take off, or they just don't go away.
What should I do if it returns and flies back to its original owner?
These are all possible.
However, the timeliness of bird messaging is too obvious.
It was fine if I didn't know before, but now that I know, it's hard to refuse.
But looking at the entire Ashan, the one who uses this method the most maturely is the leader of the Yongye Army.
Others who have followed the trend of research, the time is too short, the level of bird training is not enough, the stability can only be said to be haha, and the dangers are similar to those of the Yongye Army Leader, and there are not a lot of them.
The most trustworthy method of this method is the birds raised in captivity by oneself.
But the problem is, starting from scratch, within three or two years, our own birds will not be put to use at all.
Even if they were willing to wait, the Yongye Army Leader would not leave them that much time.
According to reports from spies who have infiltrated into the Swamp of Despair, the leader of the Yongye Army is encroaching on the Crocodile tribe bit by bit.
Previously, it was just transporting grain, but this year it has gone too far and is helping the Crocodile tribe to plant water grains on a large scale.
Once the leader of the Yongye Army gains a firm foothold among the Crocodile Tribe, what will happen to the Kingsley family?
Therefore, even if the situation in the Swamp of Despair has not yet reached the optimal time for invasion, they have to launch a full-scale invasion.
After repeatedly verifying the reliability of the Mountain Eagle, the Kingsley family decided to use them.
After all, birds are birds, and their intelligence makes it difficult for them to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, let alone play the complicated game of Infernal Affairs.
Of course, this kind of use should also be used with caution. Not only does it use secret codes that are commonly used by spies, but it also uses multi-line confirmation and other methods, just in case.
"Attack the entire army." Akmeser issued the order to attack across the board.
Compared with the last time they marched into the Swamp of Despair, the strategy adopted by Akmeser this time was quite satisfactory, with the whole army pushing forward at a constant speed.
Along the way, every piece of land passed through will be repeatedly detected, and some puddles and mud swamps will be filled in as long as they are not too big.
This is fully absorbed from the previous experience.
Not only did he keep his own escape route, but he also did not give the crocodile tribesmen a chance to exchange their lives for their lives.
Faced with this menacing situation, the Crocodile tribe could only retreat again and again, and the combined army pressed directly to the edge of the Donau River.
Prepare to rely on the last line of defense to resist.
But this time the Kingsley family is well prepared, and warships are gathering one after another.
To talk about warships is to put gold in their faces.
Some of the good ones look like fishing boats, but most of them don’t even look like fishing boats, just a raft.
The Kingsley family finally gave up their plan to purchase large quantities of warships from the Commons family or the Witches' Conclave.
Not only did the Commons family break their word, they delayed their orders again and again, and used them to threaten them.
It was also because they found that even if they built a large ship, they would not be able to transport it to the Donau River in the Swamp of Despair, and it would not be as convenient as a small ship built in their own territory.
Some even harvest wood and build ships on site.
On the first day of the Kingsley family's full-scale march into the Swamp of Despair, the Elders Council of the Crocodile tribe convened.
To be more precise, the Council of Elders has not been dissolved since it was convened a year ago.
Not only is there always a threat from the Kingsley family, but also because the relationship with the leader of the Evernight Army changes day by day, they have to work together to cope with it.
After having been entangled with the leader of the Yongye Army for so long, the Crocodile Tribe Elders Council has made some progress.
At least when something happens, it is no longer the same thing as before where people would explode and whisper. Now, they gather in small groups. After the discussion, some representatives will throw out their more thoughtful and mature opinions.
come out.
One of the representatives took the lead to break the deadlock and said: "It is not the right way to retreat and defend blindly. We should take advantage of the opponent's troops to disperse, concentrate our superior forces, and defeat them one by one. Otherwise, when they pave the road to the river, we will have to wait on the river.
A fight to the death, once defeated, there will be no chance to make a comeback."
"What should we fight with? You have not seen the power of the opponent's armor before. Our weapons cannot pose a threat to them at all. Are we going to risk the lives of our tribe like last time? I'm afraid we won't even have such an opportunity.
None, the environment has become even more unfavorable to us."
"Where is the new army? Where is the new army that we trained with the Yongye Army leader? What is the current situation? We have invested so much manpower and material resources in it, we can't go to waste, right?"
"The condition of the new army is much better than we expected. The equipment is all from the Yongye Army Leader and is barely usable. However, we were too timid before. Ten thousand new troops are too small in the current situation.
, the new armies trained by each army are of mixed quality, and it is really hard to say how much combat effectiveness they can exert if they are mixed."
The Council of Elders fell into a long silence, and an aura of embarrassment flowed.
The same training methods and the same equipment produced completely different results in the hands of Yongye Army Leader and in his own hands.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to their self-confidence, and what hurts them even more is that they cannot find the crux of the problem.
"People have their own strengths and weaknesses, which only shows that we are indeed not as good as the Yongye Army leader in this aspect." Great Elder Weber said, "There is nothing to be ashamed of in admitting one's own shortcomings.
We know the problem but are unwilling to pay attention to it. I personally think that we should not sit back and wait for death. We should take the initiative. However, it is not to destroy many enemies, but to burn the Kingsley family's warship. As long as their warship is completely burned,
Even if we can't defeat them, it will slow down their offensive pace and buy us more buffer time."
From this, we can see that the situation within the Crocodile Clan Elders Council is relatively pessimistic.
What they are considering now is no longer how to completely defeat the Kingsley family, but to find ways to slow down the pace of the Kingsley family's attack.
Recently, a small group of capitulationists have appeared.
These capitulation faction did not turn to the Yongye military leader, but put forward a relatively absurd idea, negotiating peace with the Kingsley family, and the two sides would divide the river to rule, and cede the west bank of the Despair Swamp to the Kingsley family.
This proposal was completely rejected by the Council of Elders as soon as it was proposed.
Regardless of whether the Kingsley family agrees with this condition or not, the leader of the Yongye Army will never allow such a situation to occur.
Eat people with short mouths and take soft hands with others.
Now the Council of Elders has to act based on the eyes of the leader of the Eternal Night Army to a certain extent. Who knows that all of his lifelines have been blocked by the other party?
"I think this method is feasible. Without warships, the Kingsley family, even with a hundred thousand troops, would not be able to cross the river. We not only have to burn all their warships, but also all those on the north bank that are suitable for shipbuilding.
Burn all the trees, and then if they want to build ships, they will have to go thousands of miles away from the Carthusian army."
"The other side will not know this, and will definitely be heavily guarded. Look at his army layout. This is an out-and-out pocket formation, just waiting for us to hit it."
"I have carefully studied Akmesser's pocket formation. It seems that it can indeed be surrounded on all sides, but it also means that all four sides are weak. When the time comes, we will gather superior forces to dig out one side. As long as we penetrate it, they will be helpless." Weber
The Great Elder said confidently, "We can destroy his pocket array once, and we can pierce it a second time. There is no 100% sure strategy or tactic in this world, only one with a relatively high success rate. I think this risk is worth taking."
