Great Nobleman

Chapter 140 Divide the troops

Hearing that they could lead troops to fight by themselves, Brand and Yersin were quite excited.

But when Anthony introduced the four thousand commanders to them.

Only then did they realize that there was a little difference between the fact and the imagination.

After getting to know the soldiers under the four commanders in detail, they discovered that there was still a little bit of a hole in the truth.

——The total number is more than 4,000, of which 20% are logistics soldiers, and 60% are recruits.

With these soldiers alone, they might not even be able to push Yanxin City, let alone Liuyue City, which is stronger than Yanxin City.

So Anthony's mind has been clearly revealed!

——This is to make them contribute, and these soldiers are just auxiliary.

In addition, there should be the meaning of asking them to help train soldiers.

In Anthony's opinion.

The combined strength of Yersin, Brand, and their attendants can already be compared with the high-level strength of the Sixth Infantry Regiment.

He naturally wanted to make good use of it.

These soldiers have military qualities, but they are almost in actual combat.

With so many strong men leading the team, the soldiers must be able to maintain a high morale in actual combat.

That's his main purpose.

As for Floating Moon City, it's just a piece of cake.

Based on this talent alone, even if there is a mage genius like Brand, the chances are not great.

But looking at it from another angle, this is actually training Brand and Yersin's ability to command troops.

After all, a pioneering war is coming in a year's time, and it's not good if you don't know how to command troops to fight!

Yersin and Brand were relatively speechless.

They were obviously only here to practice their combat abilities, but now it looked more like they were here to work for the Sixth Infantry Regiment.

All in all, although they were cheated, neither Brand nor Yersin intended to repent.

After determining the strength of one's own side.

The two looked at the sand table and discussed.

First of all, there is no doubt that the general direction is to march towards Liuyue City.

They also want to see the treasure house of Floating Moon City.

However, differences came next. Considering the problem of army supplies, they definitely couldn't march towards Liuyue City in a straight line.

Along the way, we must fight a few bandits to replenish supplies.

So now you have two options.

One is to choose a wild road with a shorter route, and copy all the way from the hometown of various bandits.

The second is to take the main road that connects the cities. Although the road is smoother, the road is a little longer, and two free cities that are about the same size as Yanxin City need to be built halfway.

From Yersin's point of view, it's better to go wild and copy the bandit's hometown.

He felt that compared to those free cities, there should be more treasures in the bandit lair!

Brand sees just the opposite.

He wants to take the big road more than the wild road.

After all, the road is better!

As a noble mage, Brand felt that he should not bear the bumps of the wild road!

As for the siege of the city, in his opinion, with him as a mage, there is no problem!

Because the two disagreed, they discussed for a long time, and finally divided the troops altogether.

So, with Anthony in a daze.

Brand and Yersin divided the army and prepared to march with 2,000 soldiers each according to their respective marching routes.

Hearing such an outrageous division plan, the four commanders assigned to the two men couldn't help but look at Anthony for help.

Seeing the gazes of several people, Anthony thought for a while and helped them remind Brand and Yersin:

"If your order is too unreasonable, they also have the right to refuse."

Hearing what Anthony said, the four commanders were all relieved.

Brand and Yersin didn't say much.

This is actually reasonable, after all, it is only an army lent to them.

...

The next day, Brand and Yersin marched along their respective marching routes with their respective troops.

Although the main road that Brand walked was only an uneven dirt road, but because he didn't need to march in a hurry, it was not too bumpy.

After several hours of riding, Brand felt fine.

Because the sun rises gradually.

He began to wonder if he should stop and take a break.

But just as he was thinking this way, a red signal arrow in front of him quickly lifted into the sky.

Judging from the distance, the scouts in front should have detected the enemy.

At this time, a commander next to him ran over and asked what to do next.

Brand responded:

"When you meet an enemy, fight it. It's just noon. After fighting, eat!"

After the commander issued Brand's order, the army began to accelerate, rushing towards the signal arrow.

By the time Brand arrived, the bandits had already started to flee, leaving corpses and prisoners all over the place.

Looking at these bandit captives, Brand asked Louise next to him:

"Do you want these prisoners?"

Louise smiled and said, "Let me choose!"

Brand waved his hand and said, "Choose whatever you want."

Because there were not many people taken out this time, Anthony asked them to decide the issue of captives themselves, so Brand called Louise over.

Louise was planning to go around Rock Core City to see if there were any "high-quality" bandits.

However, she heard from Brand that it might be better to follow him. Under Brand's "beauty", she followed directly with the caravan without asking much.

At least for now, she seems to have made the right choice.

While Louise went to pick out the captives and Catherine went to cook.

Brand called the two thousand commanders over and asked about the next march plan.

He mainly wants to know how long it will take to reach the next city.

After hearing Brand's question, a commander said anxiously:

"If we maintain our current marching speed, we will be able to reach Baishi City by noon tomorrow, but are we really going to attack that city?"

Another commander also added in due course:

"According to the information we got from the captives in Yanxin City, the guard strength of White Rock City is almost the same as that of Yanxin City.

And because Yanxin City was breached by us, Baishi City must be very vigilant after getting the news, not counting the logistics force, it is very difficult to attack the city with the combat power of more than 1,000 of us alone. "

Brand also understands the worries of the two commanders.

It is definitely impossible to attack the city with these soldiers alone, but isn't there still such a noble mage as him?

In order to boost a little information for my own people.

Brand took out the big knight golem from the space necklace.

Patting the golem's black armor, he asked:

"Do you guys know this thing?"

Hearing Brand's inquiry, the two commanders shook their heads blankly.

Seeing the two shake their heads, Brand explained:

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, you just need to know that it can exert the power of a great knight."

Hearing what Brand said, both of them were a little shocked.

——Even their legion commander is just a senior knight!

Seeing the shocked expressions of the two, Brand nodded in satisfaction.
