Lord of War

William's strategic layout is to let Sean, Rena, and Cecilia lead the First Cavalry Regiment as the vanguard, and strive to occupy Jederbyburg in the shortest possible time. After that, William will lead the Thunder Lion, Cecilia to nearly The three troops, the Guards and the Black Wings, came here to meet up, and then used this place as a transit point to divide the troops into two routes, one route went directly to Yero City, and the other route established a front-line combat base at the border between Jedby and Tinkyin. , As for Jedbiburg, it will become a logistics base, forming a logistics supply route connecting Panda Territory, and maintaining the safety of this route is the steel wing reserve.

As for the Iron Wings regiment, the main purpose is to hold back the troops led by Tinky; and the other troops responsible for occupying the city of Yero will also arrive at the reserve troops of the Steel Wings, and immediately go to Jedby and Tinchin's forward base.

And all these strategic guidelines must be completed within four days.

But what Xiao En and others did not expect was that because Rob's territorial development policy was completely tantamount to speeding up the invasion of Xiao En and others in disguise, the entire battle plan was almost two days ahead of William's expected time.

On the morning of the third day of the war, two camps were quickly established at the junction of Tinchin and Yederby, and the distance between them was more than 30 miles. This point is a little bit of tactical adjustment made by William afterward. Its main purpose is to lengthen the defense line led by Ting Qi. After all, the total strength of Xiao En's attack this time is less than 20,000. The 60,000 army led by Qi Yin naturally needed some tactics.

If you count the Iron Wings troops of Dayi, these are three arrows aimed at Tingchin.

After all, the defender is no better than the attacker. As long as the borders of the territory border each other, the attacker can choose the attack position and target at will. But the defender has no way to do this, because the larger the area of ​​a territory and the more cities and towns there are, the more areas need to be defended. And if the enemy's offensive targets are many and not repeated, the defensive line that the defender needs to stretch will become longer.

Under the limitation of military strength, once the defense is stretched, it means that the thickness of the defense line will become thinner.

Just like now, Tinky has 30,000 private soldiers, but Domingo must allocate 10,000 people to guard the cities and villages in the territory to prevent Xiao En from sending small troops to infiltrate and destroy the rear, so in fact he can use There are only 20,000 private soldiers. It's just that there are three directions where the 20,000 private soldiers need to defend. On average, there are only more than 6,000 people in each direction. Compared with Sean's three arrows, there is almost no advantage at all in this respect. up.

only. In addition to these 30,000 private soldiers, Domingo also has a second cavalry regiment with a size of 30,000.

But everyone knows that this force is not Domingo's private, but belongs to the Kingdom of Darbion, so Domingo can mobilize this cavalry force to assist in the defense. But he couldn't fully devote this force to the fortifications of the entire territory. Therefore, the biggest role of these 30,000 people is to rush to rescue, attack and harass, but with William's current strategic layout. Domingo's Second Cavalry Regiment only has one role left to help.

This moment. Located in Hastings Manor, the angry Domingo has already smashed all the smashable things in the study.

Facing Domingo who was so furious, the other members of the Hastings family in the study did not dare to speak. Their eyes all fell on a map in the study.

This map was drawn temporarily, because of rush work,

So you can still see a lot of rough burrs. Moreover, many of the drawings on the map are not particularly detailed, and only some outlines can be vaguely seen, but it is much better than other places in terms of strategic locations. Obviously, even if it's a rush production. But the surveyor also knows what the map is really about, so he dares not be distracted from the really big problems.

Now, many red and blue flags have been planted on this map, the most of which is blue, but there are only five red flags, which are located in three places, one on each of the left and right places, and only one on the left and right. There are only three in the middle position. If Sean or William were here, it could be seen that the places where the five flags were planted happened to be the three camps set up by William, so the meaning of these five flags was self-evident.

On the left is the Iron Wing, on the right is the Thunder Lion, and in the middle is naturally the Cecilia Guards, the First Cavalry, and the Black Wing.

"How dare they!" Domingo's anger was not without reason.

Disputes between nobles of two different countries, or even wars, are usually just disputes between the lords of the two places, and unless other allies join in, a larger-scale war may break out. But in any case, there will be one of the most basic guarantees, that is, not to invade other territories, even the territories of enemy allies cannot be invaded at will, and even if the territory is lost, it can usually be regained through compensation afterwards.

This guarantee is protected by the oldest aristocratic law, and no noble is allowed to violate it.

Even though Sean now owns the Territory of Day and the Territory of Chirav, these two territories actually belong to the Kingdom of Darbion. Sean still has to hand over the tax revenue of the territory to the Kingdom of Darbion every year. He is just this It's just a temporary substitute for the two territories. As long as the Kingdom of Dabion is willing to offer compensation, these two territories will eventually be returned to the Kingdom of Dabion. Of course, this must be three years later, and now Sean has only occupied these two territories for a year. .

All of these are unspoken rules among nobles, and any noble must abide by them.

But now, Sean directly occupied Fort Jederby, and put Baron Jederby in custody, and at the same time took down the city of Yero, which has completely violated the unspoken rules of behavior among the nobles.

"He's aggressing!" Domingo roared, "He's not even a noble..."

"He is already a nobleman." It was Thain who interrupted Domingo's roar.

Only this son who was valued by Domingo dared to interrupt Domingo at this time, and no one else dared to touch Domingo's bad luck at this time.

"What do you mean?" Domingo turned to look at his son.

"He is a baron now." Thain said, "This is already considered a formal aristocratic system, so he sent troops to fight us this time. It is completely in line with the law of aristocracy...Of course, I think you should also know, my lord, that many At that time, the ancient aristocratic law was only relative to those who were close in strength. For those who were powerful, the aristocratic law had no binding force at all, and even if we now made an attack on Xiao En's occupation of Jedby's territory, the other party There is also an excuse to refute it.”

Hearing what Thain said, Domingo still had a look of unwillingness on his face, which can be seen from his clenched fists: "What the hell is Moens doing to eat so easily? It was completely invaded by Panda."

"You can't blame Baron Jedby." Thain shook his head. Said in a deep voice, "We were too careless this time."

Having said that, Thain saw that everyone was looking at him. He cleared his throat slightly before continuing to speak: "The other party has issued a declaration of war a long time ago, but we did not pay attention to this A declaration of war. Instead, they launched an attack on the grounds that the other party was not a nobleman at all. But at this time, we should have discovered a problem that we have overlooked. The lord of the Panda Land already has such a large-scale foundation. He wants to become a nobleman. It is also very easy, even if it is only a baron, but this is also a member of the official noble system, so the declaration of war is equally valid."

Hearing Thain's words, all the people present finally came to their senses, showing a dazed look.

But Thain saw the appearance of these people. He sighed slightly in his heart, he knew that the Hastings family had been going smoothly for too long, which made these family members feel complacent, so no one thought carefully about the problems that might arise next . And these although he has seriously thought about it. But at the last meeting, he was interrupted before he finished speaking, and no one believed his reasoning at all.

At this moment, Thain knew that the Hastings family had begun to decay.

But it was impossible for him to say these words directly, because although he knew that he was Domingo's son, his current identity was not a member of the Hastings family at all.

"The lord of Pandaland is smarter and more cunning than we imagined." Thain shook his head, clearing those unrealistic thoughts and troubles from his mind, "Send troops after obtaining the baron status, It is two different concepts from sending troops before becoming a baron. He first issued a declaration of war to us as a non-noble, with only one purpose, that is to paralyze us, because the identity of a pioneer knight has not appeared on the mainland for a long time We all know that it is impossible for any lord to let a pioneer knight go at will, because each pioneer knight symbolizes countless resources. But the Marquis of Tonis is very courageous, and directly let this The lord has become an official nobleman, so both the lord and the marquis are far more troublesome than we imagined."

"Then what do you mean..." a member of the Hastings family asked.

"We can't wait for help." Thain said without thinking, "We must take the initiative! Maybe the Nugus family will definitely send troops to reinforce us now. After all, the young master really wants to kill the Lord of Panda, but the problem is It's here!" Everyone couldn't help but tremble when they heard Thain's emphasis on the word "problem", but Thain didn't give everyone time to digest it, and said to himself: "I don't know everyone. Do you still remember the land of Mordegg that was occupied by the Marquis of Tonis a year ago?"

Everyone was still thinking, but Domingo was still the first to react. He strode to the desk, waved away all the things, took out the territory map of the Dabiang Kingdom, and just glanced at it. His expression changed in an instant: "This place... is strategically important!"

Hearing Domingo's words, the faces of the people present all changed.

"Yes, it is a strategic location." Thain said in a deep voice, "This territory is like a fishbone stuck in the throat. It didn't matter that this territory was on Darbion's side before, but now this If the territory falls into the hands of the Marquis, all the four surrounding territories will face her threat of war... But these are not the most important, the most important thing is that if you start from this territory If you march quickly, you can enter the Dai territory in only ten days."

Domingo's pupils shrank slightly, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"A few days ago, there were rumors that Vivienne Michel, the fierce general under the command of the Marquis, had already left this territory. It was also on that day that Pandaling brazenly sent troops."

Hearing this, everyone present had fully reacted, and Domingo said with a look of surprise: "This is no longer a declaration of war or a dispute, but a naked invasion! This is a conspiracy by the Principality of Ryan !"

"Maybe it's aggression, but at least not yet." Thain shook his head.

"What's the meaning?"

"The lord is now a baron and has the same official status as us. If we continue to wait for the support of the Nugus family at this time, then they can also wait for the support of the marquis." Sean Shen Shen He said in a low voice, "Let that marquis join this war as an ally, not to mention that we have the support of the Nugus family, even if the entire southern nobles are dragged into the water, our territory will be destroyed by the flames of war." Devour, even if we win the war, it will not do us any good."

"What do you mean?" Domingo asked.

"Actively attack." Thain pulled up a blue flag, and then inserted it next to the red flag on the left, "We must take the initiative to attack and enter the Dai territory first! At present, neither side has any allies to support , our troops have an absolute advantage. As long as we concentrate our forces to attack the Dayi Territory and cut off the possible support of the Marquis, then we will completely gain the upper hand, and we will not invade the Dayi Territory no matter whether it is public or private. Being accused of anything, it is not as passive as the other side is now occupying Jedby. And..."

Hearing Thain's voice paused slightly, someone subconsciously asked: "And?"

"Moreover, once we regain the Dayi Territory, the Panda Territory will be under the direct threat of our army. At that time, whether it is to cut off the opponent's logistics supply route in the Yedeby Territory, or directly attack the Panda Territory It can force the opponent to withdraw troops and return to help. At this time, we can launch a chase from the opponent's back. At that time, as long as we attack back and forth, the opponent's army will be wiped out. We will not only be able to regain the Dayi collar, but also liberate Ye Derby collar, if we are faster, we can even take back Panda collar before the opponent surrenders!"

In the end, Thain's face turned red, which was completely excited: "Since the other party wants to invade, let's let them know what aggression is!"
