I Will Be The Crowned King

"To win Ludwig here, and to force him to negotiate? I really don't know where your confidence comes from..."

Facing Anson, who seemed to be holding a wisdom bead, Louis sighed and shook his head; now he is no longer the simple knight of Thundercastle; although the enemy still has the will to fight, he occasionally thinks of caution and prudence. will also prevail:

"You know, the one who has been cut off and has nowhere to escape, but us!"

"It is precisely because we cut off our retreat that Ludwig will attack with confidence and boldness without thinking too much." Anson deliberately emphasized the word "rest assured" to emphasize:

"But since he wants to cut off the retreat, he can't just watch the direction of the grass forest and turn a blind eye, and he must divide his troops to guard - in case we ambushed a reinforcement in Gray Pigeon Castle, attacking from the east, coupled with the defenders of Yangfan City, then It became that he was caught between three buns."

"Then do we have reinforcements in the direction of Grey Dove Castle?" Louis asked worriedly.

This question made Anson laugh outright: "Of course not!"

Louis Bernard: "..."

As for the caution and concern of the young knight, Anson is not completely ignorant; what he is doing now is almost bringing the entire army into a cage with dead ends on both sides, and the only exits are the wild grass forest in the east and the direction of Sail City; This means that as long as Ludwig seals the barren forest, he will have to fight head-on with the 20,000 army of the Jihad Legion.

And in fact, Ludwig doesn't even need to attack from the front. As long as he defends on the spot, his side, who has been cut off from the retreat, may have to take the initiative to attack, and make a "classic replay" of the previous fiasco of the grass forest.

It's just that those defeated soldiers still had to escape, but this time the situation is that there is no way to retreat. If they are defeated, they will almost have to be wiped out. The fault tolerance rate is extremely low.

"But this is the only way to ensure that Ludwig will definitely take the bait; if it is replaced by a grass forest, he will most likely consider conquering the sailing city first, and then waiting for the opportunity to eradicate us - the broken city is already close at hand, with Ludwig Nozomi's character is absolutely uh... It should be impossible to give up easily."

The corners of An Sen's mouth twitched. Having had the experience of making mistakes in judgment before, he doesn't dare to be too absolute now.

Alas, why are honest people always so scarce in this world?

"And if we Chen Bing sails down the city, Ludwig will not be easily shaken, but he is likely to ask the fleet for help... We don't know how much ammunition reserves Clovis' Royal Fleet has; The threats posed are deadly." Anson emphasized:

"The most important thing is that for us this war is a matter of life and death, but what about Ludwig? This war is for him, and the Franz family behind him, the Kingdom of Clovis, Osterley The sub-royal family... what does it mean?"

Louis Bernard suddenly looked solemn: "Are you really going to negotiate with him?"

"At least you should try, how do you know if you haven't tried it?" Anson shrugged, looking down at the far horizon along the young knight's cheeks and shoulders:

"War is the mutual use of violence, attacks and killings between groups. It is the most extreme and last means to resolve conflicts and achieve goals... It is composed of people, who decide, plan, execute and end."

"In this case, it must have a consensus that unites all people, even if this consensus is just an excuse, or even a lie, it must exist; but people are individuals who can think independently and are not subject to absolute manipulation; it means that In groups and organizations, dissent and factions are bound to exist.”

"Confirming factions and finding dissent will be able to divide and disintegrate them. Even if there are common interests between enemies, there is not necessarily no possibility of win-win cooperation; after all, war is a means to resolve conflicts and achieve goals; conversely, Said, as long as the goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter what means."

Staring at the whitish horizon, Anson's eyes gradually turned cold, and various plans continued to emerge in his mind, quickly calculating the probability of each success and the possible consequences afterwards.

As time went by, his understanding of his "law of planning" became deeper and deeper, and he gradually found that his law was likely to belong to the branch of "law of time", but it was not so strongly related to time.

From the earliest time, as long as you start to set your own plan, countless prerequisites will naturally pour into your mind; to as long as you want to get a certain result, there will be countless alternative plans and risk assessments; and now even the follow-up impact has begun to be included. Within the scope of the "plan"...

Next, if you have a deeper understanding of the law, can you make something that was impossible actually happen, or even become the consensus of everyone, as long as you come up with a plan and fulfill certain conditions?

The magic that twists the law, creates the law, and finally creates the world... The potential is stronger than imagined.

On the side, Louis watched Anson quietly. He was silent for a moment before he could say anything. When he saw that the other party came back to his senses, he said:

"Be careful, your expression and tone of voice are not very human anymore; if things go on like this, maybe one day I really have to pick up a weapon and kill a monster with the same name as you. "

For the friend's reminder, Anson smiled casually at first, but then his expression suddenly became serious, and solemnly nodded to Louis:

"Thank you, I will pay attention."

Louis, who was unwilling to continue entangled in this matter, nodded, looked at the direction of Yangfan City in the distance, and said lightly, "Go back, it's time to discuss with everyone how to greet your old boss. ."

………………

"What the **** is going on here?"

Through the telescope, Ludwig looked at the 13-star ringed flag fluttering in the distance, and the shabby and unsightly positions under the numerous flags, his face was full of doubts.

He can now basically be sure that Ansen Bach is on the opposite side of him at this moment, but he really does not understand why that guy who has always been extraordinarily cautious would choose to set up in such a desperate position and wait for him to take the initiative to attack?

With his knowledge of Yangfan City and the terrain of the entire New World, as well as the support of the local people, he should be able to find a battleground that is more beneficial to him, at least not so much that he has no way to retreat.

Or is it that the terrain here is far more complicated than it looks, but I just don't know it yet?

Ludwig's brows became more and more frowning, and finally he couldn't help but look at the messenger beside him: "Report the information you just got again, they really only have about 15,000?"

"Yes, my lord!" The herald immediately lowered his head:

"According to the reconnaissance results of the cavalry, the number of troops on the opposite position is about 10,000 to 15,000. Among them, there are about 6,000 to 10,000 people who have weapons and uniforms. The rest are judged by their clothing, more like It's a militia that was temporarily summoned!"

"There are really only 15,000 people..."

Although he already had the information, the reconfirmation still surprised Ludwig: "Anson Bach... This is what you can assemble, the last strength of the colony..."

"No! No, this is definitely not all of his strength!" Before he could finish speaking, Ludwig directly rejected his guess: "Judging from the time, this army should be about the same time as the previous army in the grass forest. It was only because I suddenly headed north that I forced the vanguard to go south ahead of time...According to his original plan, including the defenders of Yangfan City, it would be an army of nearly 40,000 people!"

"And he got the information that I arrived at Sail City, it can't be earlier than the first ten days of May; in other words, Ansen Bach only took less than ten days to gather 40,000 people in the same battlefield in the whole new world. ."

"If I had hesitated for a few more days about the idea of ​​going north, there would have been a 40,000-strong army under Yangfan City and a decisive battle with us!"

"And this is most likely not his full strength!"

Instantly figured out all this, Ludwig was shocked at first, and then the corners of his mouth began to rise rapidly, making the messenger beside him look dumbfounded.

He kept exaggerating the strength of the enemy, what kind of evil did this prince of the archbishop's family fall for?

Ludwig, however, did not notice the expressions of the people beside him at all. At this moment, he was completely immersed in his own imagination, and even made plans for Anson on his own initiative:

"In other words, the war potential of the colony is far beyond the imagination of the local side. 50,000... No! Even if it is a hundred thousand troops, it may not be impossible!"

"Perhaps it is not enough to defeat the jihadist army, but it is far from easy to destroy this army of 100,000 troops and the millions of colonial people who can be united behind them."

The more and more excited Ludwig said, his eyes were bloodshot, and a passion he had never seen since the end of Iser's punishment war was pouring into his body, making him unable to stop.

Since the war potential of the colonies is far beyond imagination, Anson Bacht's formation in this desperate situation is definitely not to fight with himself, but to have other plans; The battle forced him to give up force to resolve Yangfan City, and then began to negotiate.

And the initiative in the negotiation can only be in the hands of the victor... Ludwig smiled again, and the appearance of the output to the air made the messenger next to him once again convinced of his judgment.

Lord Legionnaire is crazy, completely crazy!

"Is there any other information?"

"Ah... yes, yes, yes!"

The herald, who was still slandering the last second, nodded quickly, with a somewhat pleasing expression on his face: "It is still the cavalry regiment reporting that a small group of hundreds of people has left Yangfan City and seems to be following us all the way. , and ambushed in the surrounding forest."

"Because there are not many enemies, and it is difficult to determine the specific location and identity, it has not been reported immediately; but the preliminary estimate should be infantry, and the literacy and armed level are quite high."

"Oh?" Ludwig raised his eyebrows: "What is the basis for the judgment?"

"The opponent's action is very fast, and they are always marching at a safe distance from our large troop; if it is not for the cavalry to expand the reconnaissance range, it is difficult to say whether this troop will be found." The messenger replied:

"As for the level of equipment... The cavalry was subjected to concentrated fire from the woods during the extended search. Judging from the frequency of shooting, the opponent is likely to be equipped with a breech rifle."

Breech rifles, mainly infantry, with a scale of about a few hundred people... Ludwig instantly came up with the answer: It must be the Storm Legion that attacked his headquarters!

They probably knew the plan in advance, or noticed something from their own retreat, so they decided to follow them from the rear; they probably wanted to make a surprise attack from the rear during the decisive battle to create an opportunity for a frontal battle?

But there are only a few hundred of them, and they have exposed their targets in advance. Even if they really want to do this, it is meaningless... Ludwig nodded slightly, his face expressionless:

"Let's keep it informed, so that the cavalry regiment can stop paying attention to them, concentrate on investigating the surrounding terrain, and get as much information as possible before the battle starts."

"Yes!"

The herald nodded vigorously, then turned and left.

Ludwig, who stopped talking, turned his head to look at the field in the distance, and clenched his hands into fists subconsciously.

………………

On May 10, 102 of the Saint Calendar, after completing the final preparations before the war, Ludwig Franz personally led 12,000 people to the unnamed wilderness north of Sail City~www. wuxiaspot.com~ In the south of the battlefield, 5,000 jihadist troops and the fleet are still besieging Yangfan City. In the east, more than 3,000 Clovis soldiers defeated the remnants of the Yangfan City militia who were left in the grass forest, and controlled the entry and exit of this colony. The most important thing channel.

Even if the troops were divided into three groups, Ludwig still had two full cavalry regiments under his command, an artillery regiment that controlled fifty cannons, plus three grenadier regiments, ten line regiments, and four skirmish regiments.

As the "forced to confront" side, the coalition formed by Anson and Louis consisted of 5,000 shooting corps, 3,000 storm corps, a cavalry battalion, an artillery battalion with 18 guns, and a colony of 6,000 people. Militia, plus a 2nd Infantry Regiment roaming the edge of the battlefield.

The total strength is similar to that of the Ludwig Mujahideen, and the combat effectiveness is basically vastly different.

The two sides faced off against the fields across an open field, and each controlled a relatively undulating high ground. Among them, the Free Confederation had a higher terrain, but there was also the trouble of obstructing the shooting field and had to leave the high ground to enter the battle; and Ludwig The terrain is slightly lower, but it can directly hit the Confederate army on the front of the hillside.

After their respective positions were cleared, only the central area where the two sides faced off remained on the battlefield, and there were still a few stone-built farms and private houses scattered all alone in the open field.

At 5:30 in the morning, the troops of both sides entered the position.

At seven o'clock sharp, the battle officially started.
