Power and Empire Chapter 1301: The Sword of Empire (4)

"My Lord Governor!"

Statunko’s name was like lightning flashing across the sky. In an instant, the Salander officer fell to his knees, and several other Salander cavalry knelt on the ground, their heads drooping to the ground. , The atmosphere dare not take a breath,

For the Salanders, Statunko, the southern governor of the Falcon Empire, is almost the master of Salander. No one thought that the young man with a cold face in front of him would lead his army across the sea for thousands of miles. The raid ended the important ministers of the former Salander dynasty. Because of his benevolent and proper handling style, even the Salanders of the conquered southern governor of the empire had a "smart and brave" evaluation of the empire's southern governor..

The Salander officer tremblingly replied, "My lord! We are from the Second Team of the Sixth Regiment of the Northern Allied Forces. I am the Mamunuk Knight Xavier under Lord Jerome. These people are my entourage. ""Are you from the Northern Alliance Army?"

Statunko snorted heavily, staring sharply. Sweeping the wandering faces of these Salander cavalry, and then looked at them all wet and embarrassed, suddenly, their eyebrows were tightly twisted into a ball, "Say, what's the matter?"

Statunko's two sword eyebrows were raised, and his voice fell terribly, "How can you become so embarrassed, where are the coalition forces now? If there is a lie, I will immediately order you to be buried alive as deserters!"

"We are not deserters! We were sent by Grand Duke Nilai to Alamein for help!" The Salander officer was in a panic, but he didn't care to explain the situation. Instead, he raised his head and shouted for help. !"..

As soon as the word came out, the atmosphere in the tent was shaken.

No one spoke, but the few southern ensign commanders behind Statunko all glanced at Cleveland, the fifth ensign commander sitting on the left.

This guy's prediction has actually come true! As expected, the place where the Normans would fight, chose the moment before the northern coalition forces were about to reach their goal. From the current point of view, the form of the coalition must be very bad, otherwise these Salander cavalry will not be reduced to such an appearance. "Is this a godsend opportunity?"

Compared with the surprised gods of several other generals, Cleveland's face. Instead, a trace of excitement flashed, as if he was thinking about something. He suddenly walked over from behind Statunko and asked loudly, "How is the situation of the coalition forces? Did they win or lose?"

The Salander officer's face was earthy, remembering the tragic battle of yesterday, and bowed his head. God answered him sadly

"Yesterday early in the morning, the main coalition forces encountered the main forces of Normandy at Arcachon. Because it was inevitable, the upper ranks of the coalition forces hurriedly decided to fight the Normans at Alcavier. Because of the unfavorable terrain and lack of preparation, it took only two hours. , The left wing of the 7,000 coalition forces was first disintegrated under the impact of the Norman cavalry. Then 4,000 Chinese troops defended the ground to cover the only fairly complete right-wing evacuation "" fierce battle until noon, in Normandy. Under the attack from both sides, the middle army of the old Duke of Russia and Germany collapsed. Only the right wing of the Grand Duke Nilai... "The voice of the Salander officer suddenly stopped." What happened to the right? "Statunko can't wait. He hurriedly asked, this was the focus of his concern. If Princess Nilai died in the chaos, his majesty, who was furious, would order the entire Normandy to be cleaned.

The scene of the corpse mountain and the sea of ​​blood made this important imperial official also feel that his scalp is numb. "Although the Chinese army desperately resisted and delayed, the right wing was retreating. It was still bitten by the 3 thousand Norman light cavalry." Salander The officer's face was pale, gritted his teeth, and his eyes revealed a painful god. "Our army retreated while fighting, and the enemy was very cunning. It just followed and refused to fight. In desperation, in order to avoid entering the plains and becoming the target of the enemy's slaughter. , Grand Duke Nilai can only order 2,000 remnants to stay at Fort Dikili, 20 miles away.

When we were dispatched, the 3,000 light cavalry from Normandy had arrived at the outpost of Fort Dikiri. When we came out, there were 24 people. Now there are only 5 of us. The others have died. We don’t know what the situation is now. Up! ""Fort Dikiri? "

Hearing that Princess Nilai had not been defeated by the Normans, Statunko’s face was slightly better. He walked quickly to the map placed in the middle, spreading his hands heavily on the map, and his eyes quickly found. To the Fort Dikiri in the mouth of the Salander officer,

From the indications on the map, this is not a fortress-style castle, but it is surrounded by rivers on three sides. It has a certain defensive advantage against the light cavalry who is very strong assault, but if you wait for Normandy, which is dominated by infantry The main force arrives, just such a small fortress, it is absolutely impossible to stick to it! "My lord, we must act now!" Cleveland walked up from behind, looking at the map, and said from the side of Statunko. "This is a good opportunity to annihilate the main force of Normandy in one fell swoop." Ah!" "Well? What do you mean?"

The Statun Subject glanced at him coldly. The cold and murderous aura coming out of his body made the temperature in the military tent lower by a few degrees. Statunko is not a fool, how could he not know Kerry? The meaning of Fran’s words,

Take Nilai as a bait~IndoMTL.com~ attracts the main force of Normandy, and then a side attack of the army will surely defeat the Normandy in one fell swoop, but the consequence of this strategic deployment is that the decoy must be able to last until the end, and it may even be Preparation for eating, using Nilai as bait? What a joke! No one dares to play such tricks in front of His Majesty Falcon, who is known as the **** of the Continental Army. This is a dead end!

According to His Majesty Falcon’s rule, even if he wins this battle, he will be cut off! "Master, don't get me wrong"

At this sight, Cleveland was sweating all over his body and his hair stood up. He quickly explained, "This is my plan. Since the Normans don’t know the existence of our army, they must be fully committed to Dicky at this moment. In the Riebourg movement, the Normans just won, and they will certainly not pay attention to the connection between the troops. Then we can completely bypass the enemy forwards of Fort Dikiri with light forces, intercept the main force of the Normandy army halfway, and hit him by surprise. !" "What if the Normans arrive before us?" The coldness on Statunko's face dissipated a bit, and there was silence for a while,

This is indeed a better way. As long as the main force of Normandy can’t arrive, with only 3,000 light cavalry, it’s impossible to forcibly break through a small fortress guarded by 2,000 people. Moreover, the strength of the Nile Guards is in the equipment and In terms of training, it is not weaker than the regular army of the Falcons. "If the Normans arrive before us, then our army can just attack them behind them, attacking on both sides...!" Cleveland said with confidence and grim expression (to be finished) Continued.)
