Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 67: Determination
Chapter 67: Decisions
When Charade, Potterfang, Terman, Yuri and Ross came together, they were seeing Reidy taking a few surrendered guards out of big tent. Entering the big tent, it was found that there were maps of various sizes everywhere. A map of animal skin covered with half a desk was also painted with various symbols by Lorist, and marked with marks next to it.
"What are you doing?" Charade was curious to look over it, and for a long time did not understand what Lorist was doing.
However, Potterfang took a closer look before seeing the clue: "This seems to be the layout of troops and the road map?"
Listen to Potterfang and say Charade, then take a look at the label next to you and realized: "What's your idea of playing Kou Count Billy?"
Lorist nodded, took a small map and drew a circle on it: "Look, this is the sphere of influence of Kou Count Billy."
Then I drew another arc along the circle I drew: "This is the northbound route we originally planned. It just goes around his sphere of influence. It is calculated based on a sixty to seventy-mile journey a day. It takes twelve to fourteen days. However, we have either passed through the wild country or were attacked by the army of the Count Billy to wipe out the Territory that had lost the Lord(s). Our caravan could not find a place to supply and was prone to accidents. "
"But if we change the course and go like this ..." Lorist directly draws a straight line in the circle representing the area of influence of Kou Count Billy on the map: "It only takes seven days, and the road is flat, and the supply is convenient. But this requires a premise Is to defeat Kou Count Billy. "
"Did you come up with any solution?" Charade asked.
"Not yet. I just asked the surrendering garrison to understand some basic situations. I have a vague idea in my heart, but I don't know what Kou Count Billy will do, so I am not sure how to defeat him. Lorist shook his head, then took a book and put it on the desk.
"You guys also help me think about it, I might not think about it alone. Reidy, get the Kirov battle chess." Lorist said.
Kirov is a chess game imitating war invented by Marshal Romon Empire Marshal Brin Kirov a century ago. Lorist feels a bit like chess in previous lives, except that the board is similar to a map like a monopoly game, not a black and white square.
"This is the new city Gerdos City that Kou Count Billy is imitating the capital of the king." Lorist pointed to the book on the desk and said, then put two riding soldier(s)-shaped chess pieces and four swords on the book. soldier(s)-shaped pawn: "At present Gerdos City has two Lancer squadrons and one garrison squadron. It is worth noting that one of the lancer squadrons and the two squadrons in the garrison squadron have just been formed, and their combat effectiveness is not How strong. According to the surrendering garrison, Kou Count Billy currently has a heavy armored shield guard team above Black Iron, responsible for protecting his safety.
Lorist put another plate on the desk, and put a cavalry and an infantry-shaped **** on the plate: "This is William Mills Castle, with a Lancer squadron and a garrison squadron, nearly a thousand people .The confrontation with them was the so-called Aristocrat(s) coalition with more than 4,000 people. The current situation is that the Aristocrat(s) coalition was defeated and defensive. It is really a bunch of waste. "
After dismissing the Aristocrat(s) coalition, Lorist placed another cup on the table, and then placed an infantry-shaped **** in the cup: "Here is the manor castle Bodok castle of the original family Territory of Count Billy, A garrison squadron is stationed. You see, Gerdos City, William Mills Castle, and Budock Manor Castle form a triangle that forms a corner with each other. No matter where they attack, they will be pinched by the other two places. Unless they are strong, they exceed the number of the Count Billy family army. Times, it is possible to unplug the peripheral William Mills Castle and Budock Manor Castle, and the soldiers will be under Gerdos City. "
"Fortunately, we were wiped out by the sweeping unit already, which was originally formed by the Lancer Squadron and garrison Budock Manor Castle. And William Mills Castle sent a garrison squadron to the current Budock Manor Castle, and another Lancer squadron participated in the raid corps. It was also destroyed by us. already is half the strength, not to be worried. My idea is that when Budock Manor Castle only has one defense squadron with insufficient strength and lack of motivation, send troops to enter the Kou Count Billy family Territory to carry out sabotage activities. Kou Count Billy was induced to send troops from Gerdos City, and then took the opportunity to sneak attack on the city of Cherdos. As long as he mastered Gerdos City and Budock Manor Castle, Kou Count Billy is on the go and unable to return to heaven.
"Lord(s), your idea is very feasible. Why hesitate?" Potterfang asked.
"Insufficient troop strength is also a concern that after our northbound caravan family armed forces faces the army of Kou Count Billy, even if we win, there will be great casualties. In that case, we will not only lose control of the situation, There is also the possibility that other interested people may have bad ideas about caravan. So I have been thinking of any way to reduce the loss of the family armed forces. It would be nice if we could eliminate a Lancer squadron of Kou Count Billy. "Lorist shook his head with a grin.
"Lord(s), I think that our current family armed forces is obviously stronger than Koo Count Billy's military strength. How do you say that the troops are insufficient?" Ross was surprised.
"We have to consider caravan's guarding. It is impossible to dispatch the whole army. I have calculated that the three spear squadrons, one heavy armoured squadron, and the Knight(s) and ballista Chariot squadrons. The barracks must be guarded by a heavy armored squadron and two spear squadrons here. The law enforcement squad must maintain the order of the barracks, and the Imperial Guard squadron in the main camp must take care of the captives. Even if they can draw some people, it will be at most 2,000. The strength of the left and right. The Yuri's light cavalry left a team responsible for the vigilance of the barracks. The remaining three teams were one of the scouts of the large army, and two were the main force to sneak attack on Gerdos City.
"What is the response of Kou Count Billy? We can only roughly imagine. If he hears a resistance force of more than 2,000 people in the family Territory, then he is very likely to be deployed by the whole army, that is to say, Gerdos City Both the Lancer Squadron and the Guard Corps will be dispatched, so that his army will have more than 3,000 people. And he can also order the Territory Aristocrat(s) who will rely on him to send out troops together, easily bringing his total strength to 5,000. That ’s why I said that if we face up with his army, our casualties will be very heavy, and even if we win, we will lose a lot. ”Lorist explained to Ross patiently.
"Well ..." Lorist sighed: "Actually, a few days ago, Knight Joske said back to the mountainous areas in the west to convene those opposition forces to return to attack the enemy ’s camp. I still had hope. Can I use this time to defeat the raid forces? Opportunity to instigate these resistance forces to go deep into Kou Count Billy's family Territory to carry out various sabotage actions, let Kou Count Billy lose sight of each other, and force him to divide his troops to destroy these rebel forces. At that time, we can gather forces and wipe out these divided troops , And let those resistance forces do our cannon fodder, reducing the loss and casualties of our family armed forces. "
"I just couldn't think of those rebels who were all cowardly, none of them were willing to come to the game. As a result, Knight Joske became discouraged and was ready to take his people to us.
Lorist introduced the experience of Knight Joske and his hatred of the Kou Count Billy family: "I admire Knight Joske and hope that he can join us Norton Family. So I want to destroy Kou Count Billy, this is for us Norton Family's caravan revenge is also to achieve the wish of Knight Joske and add a Golden Rank combat power to the family. So I check these maps to find a suitable place to lure a lancer squadron of Count Billy into our design Down the trap. As long as one more Lancer squadron is eliminated, we will face it without much damage.
"Knight Joske is also a dedicated person! It is a good thing for him to come to us, and we have to help in this busy situation." Charade heard about the Joske encounter: "But Locke Lord(s), you seem to ignore one Very important intelligence. "
"What intelligence?" Lorist asked.
"When Els interrogated the surrendering guards the night before, I heard a guard next to me saying that after receiving news that the barracks was occupied in the western mountain area, the illegitimate son who led the army first sent a few gunmen. Go back to report to Kou Count Billy, and then order the troops to clean up the camp. The young men with the captives rushed back and launched an attack on the barracks. It took four days to ride from the western mountains to Gerdos City. That is to say, today, Kou Count Billy was only occupied by the barracks. The news also knows that the raiding forces will return to recapture the barracks. Locke Lord(s), what you ignore is what Kou Count Billy will do after receiving this news, what measures to take. "Charade said.
"Eh?" Lorist's eyes lit up: "If I am Kou Count Billy, after getting this news, plus the bad weather in the past two days, and it has been snowing, then I will definitely worry about the chances of sweeping the troops. I Reinforced troops will be dispatched immediately, and the fastest can be reached by their Lancer Squadrons. Gerdos City will go to the barracks to ride for three to four days, that is to say, after three or four days and up to five days, Kou Count Billy sent out The reinforcements are here, and we have a good chance. "
"Yes, besides, are n’t Knight Joske's family members still in the western mountainous areas? We should pick them up with great fanfare. By the way, the rebel forces there preach the news that we have successfully annihilated the mob forces, even if those rebel forces do not I believe that people will be sent to check it out, and we invite them to watch our battle to eliminate the reinforcements sent by Kou Count Billy. After the reinforcements have been eliminated, we can say that the already under Kou Count Billy is not much, just right Take this opportunity to go to his family Territory to grab a big fight, I believe that the resistance forces will be unwilling and become mad. When these resistance forces stir up the family Territory of Kou Count Billy into a pot of porridge, then we can mix fish and fish, first Occupy that Budock Manor Castle. If the Kou Count Billy comes together, we will gather those opposition forces and form a confrontation with him, and then secretly mobilize the elite to sneak attack on Gerdos City. "Charade added a fire.
"Okay, just do that." Lorist clenched his fists in excitement: "It's not too late, Reidy, go and invite Knight Joske."
After ordering Reidy, Lorist looked at Charade, Yuri, Terman, Potterfang, and Ross, and suddenly felt strange: "Yes, how did you come together, is there anything wrong?"
Everyone came to find the original intention of Lorist. Charade smiled Lorist with a bitter smile: "Lord(s), your new set of troops is very good. The only omission is that our warhorses are not enough. These are all about to fight for warhorses. Fighting. "
Charade said that the original caravan warhorse had only more than 700 horses. In the castle of Mestre Viscount, dozens of horses were obtained. In addition, the annihilation of the sweeping troops and the harvest of more than 2,000 horses did not add up to 3,000. match. According to the establishment set by Lorist, at least 4,000 war horses are needed, which is not even the mount required by the Imperial Guard and the law enforcement team. Now Terman, Yuri, Potterfang and Ross are all too noisy for the allocation of mount, so I have to ask Lorist to make a decision.
Lorist laughed: "Noisy and noisy, are you wronged first, will someone be delivered right away after four or five days? Nothing, until we defeat Kou Count Billy, there will be horses and loot. "
Lorist refers to the defeat of Kou Count Billy's reinforcements, and a batch of warhorses has been entered. Because the Lancers are one person and two horses, they have a strong motive force.
Joske With Reidy coming in, when I heard that there was a lack of horses, I said, "Lord(s), if you are willing to trade with weapons and equipment and those resistance forces in the western mountains, you can switch to a lot of warhorses. It is estimated that there are five or six. Hundred horses. "
Lorist nodded: "Okay, but I have to take care of you."
Then the strategy and Joske just set out are introduced.
Joske listened with surprise and joy: "Lord(s), are you ready to deal with Kou Count Billy."
"Yes." Lorist said: "Since already has eliminated so many of his troops, he simply uprooted him and saved us trouble."
"Lord(s), willing to help you ..." Joske bent down deeply and bowed.
