After Transmigrating to Become the Daughter of a Duke, I Just Want to Pursue a Career

"Our side is indeed not ready, but the empire is the same, so why not take this opportunity to gather some elite forces to fight a few small battles."

"As long as we can win... No, even if we can form a balance of power with the imperial army on the bright side, our future situation will be much better."

At this moment, after listening to Katerina's speech, Celia quickly began to weigh the pros and cons in her heart, and then she quickly discovered that the strategic plan given by the girl was very operable.

The biggest problem facing our side at present is that people's hearts are not in harmony. Facing the invasion of the empire, although the countries that feel threatened have decided to join forces rationally, they have their own small calculations in their hearts, and no one is willing to throw their troops into a war. In a losing battle.

Although all the countries now hold Katerina very high on the surface, in fact no one believes that the girl can defeat the imperial army on the battlefield. The commander offered such generous terms because everyone generally felt that it was impossible for the girl to get the agreed employment money.

In the face of a battle that must be defeated, people's attitudes are always negative, so there is an embarrassing situation where the commander has been here for several days, but the army under his command has been unable to be in place for a long time.

If you want to change the current status quo, you must let the top leaders of all countries realize that the imperial army is not invincible, so as to rekindle the desire for victory. Only in this way can countries increase their investment, and if you want to do this, you must First, there are enough convincing achievements on the battlefield.

The idea of ​​Katerina taking the initiative to attack was born from this.

"But Your Majesty..."

Faced with Katerina's instructions, after thinking for a long time, Celia suddenly raised her head with a look of hesitation, and said in a hesitant tone,

"The commander-in-chief of the imperial army this time is Duke Rockman Girton, he is one of the three legendary commanders of the empire, I'm afraid you can't hide your thoughts from him, just in case...... "

"It's okay!" The next moment, before Celia finished speaking, Katerina waved her hand, interrupting the female knight's next words of admonition,

"I didn't expect to be able to hide it from anyone! As an external commander, any of my combat operations must be submitted to the high-level leaders of the allied countries, and based on the intelligence capabilities of the allied countries, I am afraid that the empire will get it before those idiots. My battle plan."

"So, this time I planned to tell everyone clearly what I'm going to do next."

"As for Rockman Gurton..."

"Hehe, that guy's resume is indeed a bit scary, but he's just an old guy after all, not enough to stop me from moving forward."

Having said that, after glancing at the worried Celia, Katerina continued to speak in a light tone,

"Don't worry, Celia, I don't mean to be arrogant. You should know me very well. I have always valued my opponent tactically."

"Rockman Gorton's reputation of being victorious and undefeated is indeed bluffing, but as long as you carefully observe his past war briefings, you can understand that this guy is a rather conservative person in essence."

"Now I have a combat force of nearly 3000 people, and 2000 of them are still the elite of the Kingdom of Boerrel. Before he finds out my details, there is a high probability that he will not choose to send troops rashly."

"Moreover, I sent troops this time only to harass and harass some border towns that occupied Boozeredo. To the imperial army, it was just a superficial injury. Judging from that guy's past performance, this level of stimulation is far from enough To force him to make a desperate surprise attack."

"So you can rest assured that the next few battles will be nothing more than a few small battles. As long as you are cautious, it will not be difficult to win."

After listening to Katerina's speech, although the worry in Celia's expression still did not dissipate, she finally nodded, approved of the girl's thoughts, and then prepared to carry out the order.But before leaving, the female knight couldn't help asking one more question,

"Your Majesty, I know your thoughts are very reasonable, but if Duke Girton really leads the imperial cavalry to the door, what should we do then?"

Facing Celia's question, Katerina remained silent for a moment, but then, a burst of calm laughter resounded faintly in the tent... .........

"What else can I do? Now that you're here, let's fight~"

"It also happens to let me take a closer look at how capable the Duke of Girton, known as one of the three pillars of the Imperial Army, is."

Chapter 199 195. The Sudden Decisive Battle!

Victorville, a small town on the border of the Principality of Boozeretto, the entire town is not large in size, with a population of only a few thousand people. There are countless ordinary towns like this on the mainland, except for the local Outside of people, it is difficult for anyone to even know its existence.

However, after today, the whole world will remember the name of this town. The reason is very simple. A battle that will be engraved in history books and sung through the ages is about to start here...... .........

"Your Majesty, the scouts just came to report that the imperial army has already begun to cross the river."

At this moment, in a camp located on the outskirts of the town, Celia hurriedly walked up to Katerina and reported the information she had just received to her lord.

After hearing the news, Katerina, who was urgently organizing troops to establish a defensive position, couldn't help but frowned slightly. After a while, the girl raised her head and glanced at the sky above the town. , a calm voice sounded here,

"How long will the Imperial Army stand in front of me?"

"Report to His Majesty......"

Facing Katerina's inquiry, Celia replied in a deep voice after estimating for a while,

"The scouts discovered the imperial army half an hour ago. Because of the previous flood, there were no large ships on the river, only some small boats could carry the transportation tasks. Although the imperial army was not large in number, most of them were cavalry. When crossing the river Great load."

"Based on this, I estimate that it will take at least three or four hours for the imperial army to complete the crossing of the river. In addition, the river course is still some distance away from us. If the imperial army wants to reach us, it will take at least three or four hours. afternoon."

"That's it..." After listening to Celia's words, Katerina's eyes narrowed slightly, and she didn't know what to think, until after a while, the girl Only then quietly said again,

"I see, let the scouts go to investigate again and report every half an hour. I need to keep track of the movements of the imperial army."

"Obey!" After receiving the order from Katerina, Celia was ready to execute it, but just as she turned to leave, the female knight suddenly hesitated. When the girl realized the situation and asked her When she looked over, the female knight finally couldn't help but suggest,

"Your Majesty, the imperial army is now crossing the river, and there are not many troops that can be mobilized on the river bank. Otherwise, let me lead a team to harass it?"

"Even if you can't defeat them, it's better to delay for a while."

"No need!" Facing Celia's proposal, Katerina waved her hand without a trace of hesitation. Afterwards, the girl rejected the proposal in a resolute tone.

Although Katerina was not considered a military fan in her previous life, her historical performance was still qualified. It is impossible for a girl not to understand the truth of attacking halfway, but despite this, Katerina still gave up without hesitation. Instead of proactive tactics, a relatively conservative combat method was adopted.

It's not because Katerina is a conservative person, but after many considerations based on the actual situation, the girl believes that sticking to the ground and waiting for work is the best choice at present.

Different from the ancient wars in Katerina's previous life, there are extraordinary powers in this world, and the "knights" who are at the core of the armies of various countries are the most common extraordinary people.Although these people with extraordinary power do not have the power to cut mountains and seas, in small-scale armed confrontations, knights can often form a crushing advantage over ordinary soldiers.

According to the statistics of combat records released by various countries, in most cases, a knight can face 20 ordinary soldiers head-on as long as he is accompanied by an infantry squad of about [-] people.

Moreover, if the targets of the battle with the knights are robbers or mobs who have not received military training, then this data can even reach an exaggerated level.

For example, in taverns everywhere, there are often stories about a certain knight leading a small team to easily destroy the "thousand-level large bandit group". There is no doubt that these stories are likely to be true.

The knights in this world can really use pure violence to complete the achievement of one ride worth a thousand. Of course, it does not mean that the knights can kill all 1000 people casually, but that there are knights on one side and no knights on the other. Under such circumstances, the side without the knight can easily be destroyed by the knight to fight, leading to a big rout.

Knowing this, it is not difficult to understand the reason why Katerina gave up halfway.

A large part of the reason why half-strike can produce miraculous effects at the tactical level is because once this tactic is successful, it will form a local force advantage and cause panic and confusion to the enemy, and finally gain a huge advantage on the battlefield.

However, in this world of extraordinary powers, if the half-strike is to succeed, a prerequisite must be solved...how to destroy the enemy knight?

Knights are different from ordinary soldiers. These guys with extraordinary power, rigorous training, and well-equipped equipment generally have an extremely firm will and will never panic because of some "small" emergencies.

At the same time, the combat effectiveness and survivability of the knights are very strong. Even in the face of enemies far more than themselves, they can tenaciously prolong the battle time.

Under such circumstances, unless the knights among the enemies can be eliminated in a very short period of time, attacking halfway is a joke. Not only can they not harass the enemies, but they will trap themselves.

Celia has received a good knight education, and of course she understands these principles, and the reason why she proposed this tactic is entirely for political purposes.

At present, because of the sudden encounter with the Imperial Knights, Katerina's motley army, which originally planned to follow to pick up cheap, is in a state of chaos at the moment. Under the shock of the reputation of the Imperial Girton Knights, this motley army ranges from noble officers to Ordinary soldiers are all controlled by negative emotions.

If it weren't for the Boerrel Kingdom Army, the main force of the army, still choosing to support Katerina, then this miscellaneous army may no longer exist.

However, even with the support of the Kingdom of Borrel, Katerina is still under great pressure, because in the eyes of the outside world, the girl, as the commander of the army, made a wrong decision not long ago and personally led everyone to the A "dead end", so that any order given by the girl will be questioned by people.

It was in such a situation that Celia came up with the idea of ​​attacking halfway. The female knight actually wanted to help her lord regain her prestige through her own efforts.

As for this, Katerina refused without hesitation. Although she was very moved by the female knight's concern, in the eyes of the girl, forcibly attacking the imperial army crossing the river because of an insignificant political purpose was a complete coma. Not only is this trick ineffective, but it may even bury her most loyal subordinates. Of course, girls will not do such stupid things.

"...Seria, don't forget, you are a knight!"

At this moment, looking at the female knight in front of her who was hesitant to speak, she seemed to be trying to persuade her, but Katerina didn't give her a chance to speak, and the girl looked at the female knight sternly. Afterwards, Ru Han A voice as cold as the wind resounds here,

"I don't need me to teach you the rules of the battlefield. I have already rejected your proposal just now. Don't let me continue wasting time."

Faced with Katerina's suddenly fierce attitude, Celia's words were blocked. Although she still wanted to persuade her, the female knight finally chose to obey the order.

On the other side, looking at the back of the female knight leaving, Katerina sighed softly, and then looked at the defensive positions that were gradually taking shape again, and when her eyes fell on the soldiers who were full of fear When she was on her body, the girl's brows furrowed even deeper.

To be honest, Katerina really did not expect the sudden move of the Imperial Army this time, because according to the normal combat thinking, the most important task of the Imperial Army at present is to broaden and completely control the area in the Yabuprofen Mountains. One channel, the tentative attack on the edge should be ignored.

However, what Katerina never expected was that the commander-in-chief of the imperial army did not follow the routine at all, and did not hesitate to give up his strategic purpose, come to make trouble for her, and even came out in full force!

This kind of behavior is completely inconsistent with the normal thinking of war. If the commander-in-chief of the empire is not the famous Duke Girton, Katerina even doubts whether the other party is a fool.

You must know that because of the difficulty of logistical supplies, the only army guarded by the Imperial Army at the entrance of the passage is the Girton Knights. At this time, this troop is out in full force, which means that the defense on the passage is extremely empty. Once the allies send A troop attacking the entrance of the passage can be done with one blow.

When the entrance to the passage is controlled, no matter how powerful the Girton Knights are, the final outcome can only be trapped and died in Boozeredo. Taking such a big risk, just to eat a motley army on the edge of the strategy, No matter how you look at it, it is an extremely stupid approach.

It is precisely because of this that before Katerina led the army to go to Boozeredo, she never thought that this kind of thing would happen.However, this kind of thing that shouldn't have happened really happened, which is really beyond the girl's comprehension.

After a long time, Katerina let out a faint breath, and closed her eyes lightly, but at the next moment, the girl's eyes opened again, and the endless fighting spirit turned into bursts of sky-blue light, shining in the pupils. Brighten.

Katerina has never been an indecisive person. Since she can't figure out the enemy's purpose, she simply doesn't think about it. Anyway, no matter what the enemy's purpose is, it must be achieved through fighting, so... as long as It's okay to win.

.................................................

At the same time, on a certain riverside a few kilometers away from the small town of Victorwell, Duke Girton, the commander of the Imperial Knights, was looking at the small boats floating on the river with interest. Soldiers of the imperial army, and occasionally some war horses can be seen. When the river wind overwhelms the aquatic plants on the river, it can be clearly found that on the other side of the river, a temporary camp is rapidly forming.

After a while, Duke Girton suddenly looked back at his adjutant, and asked calmly,

"Is the little girl still silent?"

Facing Duke Girton's inquiry, the adjutant who was about the same age as the Duke shrugged with a light smile,

"Your Excellency, you have asked me five times since just now, and the last time is less than an hour away. Do you think my answer will change?"

"That's interesting......"

On the other side, ignoring the ridicule in the adjutant's tone, Duke Girton said as if talking to himself,

"Knowing that I'm going to eat her troops soon, why doesn't she evacuate quickly? Is that little girl really planning to have a head-on collision with the Imperial Knights? Who gave her the courage?"

Hearing Duke Girton's remarks, the adjutant sighed helplessly, and then reminded angrily,

"Your Excellency, do you think too highly of that little girl?"

"No matter how powerful she is, she is only 16 years old, how can she be so strong?"

"Yes, she does have a dazzling record, but you have read the report from the intelligence department. A large part of the reason for the battle that happened in Chris was that the weapon in her hand happened to be restrained. Pirates of Burrose."

"Coupled with the weak will of those pirates, they would give up resistance as soon as the battle was unfavorable. This is the miracle of Chris. If her opponent at that time was replaced by our imperial army...... .”

"Hehe, counting the time, the successor of the next generation of the empire will probably be born."

Hearing what the adjutant said, Duke Girton, who was frowning and thinking deeply, couldn't help but smile at this moment. Seeing his boss finally smiled again, the adjutant also smiled, and then continued to say,

"So, Your Excellency, you really don't need to pay too much attention to that little girl. No matter how noble her blood is, it will take time to transform the power of her blood into strength."

"It's a pity that she doesn't have this time anymore. From the moment we arrived here, her fate has been doomed. No matter whether she chooses to evacuate or stick to it, she will only tremble under the iron hooves of the empire in the end."

Facing the adjutant's remarks, Duke Girton breathed a sigh of relief, but soon, he didn't know what to think of, and saw the Duke frowned again, and then, a calm voice sounded here,

"No, I still feel something is wrong."

"Although it is unpleasant to be underestimated by His Highness, it must be admitted that the little girl is indeed capable of securing the throne of Burros at this age."
