609 Battle of Kyoto (4)

The cabin was brightly lit, with more than a dozen turpentine torches swaying in the sea breeze. The scattered light shone on the faces of all General Dylans. The flickering figures were just like the solemn mood of everyone in the cabin now.

The newly received intelligence allowed all the General Dillons who came to see each other for a while. The enemy, who was more than three times their size, was now hidden in the starry fire on the opposite side. Just thinking about it gave people chills. Upright,

A few generals shrank their heads subconsciously and glanced outside. In the dark night, the Salander camp opposite was also brightly lit, like a giant beast lurking in the dark and biting people, waiting to be revealed. The moment of ferocious fangs,

A sketch of the wartime situation was placed on the long table in the middle. This was a temporarily sketched force deployment chart based on the strength of each garrison point. From the picture, it can be seen from the picture that Dylans's troops participating in the war this time included the navy. , about 14,000 people, including 7,000 land infantry.

There are 4,000 troops deployed on the three hills. Most of them are Dillens heavy infantry with defensive advantages. They are also the main point of contention in this battle. Their strong defense caused heavy casualties to the Salanders who attacked during the day.

The other 3,000 infantrymen were distributed within a short 400 meters between the three hills and the fleet. According to the ruins of Baiku City, the Dylans infantry built two stone walls about 2 meters high with scattered gravel. , extending from the fleet's docking point to behind the three support points, like two thick brackets, enclosing all the gaps in the entire defense line.

"This is the current situation." Dylan Kelly waved to the general, briefly introduced the new situation, glanced at the generals who were also looking embarrassed, and asked in a solemn voice.

"To be honest, fighting is not my specialty, and I need to listen to professional advice. You are all brave generals of my Dillons family. At the moment when the survival of the family is decided, if you have any ideas, please speak up."

Dylan Kelly's voice paused and continued, "Everyone, if you were the enemy's commander, would you adopt this method of hiding your troops?

After a moment of silence, a middle-aged general with red hair stood up from the queue, stared at the map, and replied with absolute certainty, "If I have more than three times the number of troops available, I will definitely take all-out measures." The strategy of military pressure is to launch offensives from several directions at the same time in the shortest possible time, maximizing the strength of the troops to weaken the enemy's resistance, leaving the enemy with no room to stop them. In addition to being completely driven down, There is no other way out.”

"Unless..." General Dylans looked at Dylans Kelly hesitantly, with an expression that he hesitated to speak.

"Unless it's not to drive us into the sea?" Dylan Kelly frowned and took over his words. With her sophistication and intelligence, she certainly knew what the general didn't say.

Dylan Kelly thought for a while, then suddenly looked at the sketch on the table, and asked in a higher tone, "Are you saying that they are doing this, most likely, not to drive us into the sea, but to keep us in this place?" Is it right to wipe out all of us in the city? General Genev?"

"Yes, the mistress is right." The middle-aged general named Genev nodded solemnly.

He looked at the eyes of his colleagues around him and found that most of the generals' eyes were full of doubts, so he explained, "If you have the strength and don't show it, it can only mean that the purpose of hiding the strength is to be able to launch attacks on us at the critical moment." A sudden fatal blow, otherwise there would be no need to spend such effort."

"Now the entire Donghou is our navy. If they can't stick to us on land, all their previous efforts will be wasted. Once we retreat to He, it is our territory, and we can arrange it calmly. They will have no choice but to stare. "

The middle-aged general's voice stopped, he stood at attention and said

"Although there is no way to know who made this plan, I must say from the bottom of my heart, "I admire this plan so much. It is the most clever tactic I have ever seen. If we hadn't noticed it early, I'm afraid tomorrow would have been our death."

"hiss"

The words of General Genov made most of General Dillens take a breath and look a little pale. If the enemy's plan is really like this, it would be terrible.

40,000 people are not 40,000 rats. They are densely lined up and can be several miles long and wide. The enemy is actually preparing to invest such a huge force in just a few hundred meters and launch an all-out attack without any danger. You can imagine how fierce and terrifying it is

No matter how bravely the Dillons infantry fought, it would be absolutely impossible to delay for half an hour. They were the elites trained by the Dillons family for many years and were also the source of the Dillons family. This time, in order to show the Grand Duke that the Dillons The family's sincerity, in addition to the 5,000 people serving in the Southern Army, also brought out the family's wealth.

"Okay, it's easy to deal with it if you know the enemy's intention." Dylan Kelly looked up at the night sky outside, and glanced at the generals in front of him. "Time is our greatest advantage. The Salanders don't know their intention yet. If we find out, if we don't have a way to deal with it before dawn, we can only choose to retreat, even if we offend the Grand Duke for this, "

"I am his mother-in-law after all, so you won't make things too difficult for me." Dylan Kelly's voice trembled slightly, with a resentful expression. After all, Dylan Kelly is still a woman.

The chatter in the cabin quickly calmed down and fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone knows that if this battle is defeated, even if the Dillens family will not be punished by the Grand Duke, it will take at least ten years to be reused.

In this turbulent era, when the Kingdom of Vekia is rapidly moving towards glory, if the Dillons family remains silent for ten years, it will definitely be a disaster for the Dillons family, which has an urgent need for outward development.

If you look at the development momentum of the Maumo family in the west, you will know what a tragic loss it will be if you miss this once-in-a-millennium opportunity to catch this ride. In ten years, everything will be a foregone conclusion. By then, Dylan The Si family can only look up to those families that are rising rapidly.

"Is there really nothing we can do?" Dylan Kelly's face turned slightly pale. This was a dead game of 10,000 versus 40,000. No matter how you looked at it, it was an impossible battle to win. If you don't want to die, you have to retreat early

"Actually, we are not completely helpless."

At this time, an older General Dillens stood up from the front of the generals' queue. His appearance was that of a typical Dillens, with plump temples, bulging temples, and his head lowered, like a man rushing forward. Vomiting-like,

Seeing him coming out, the General Genev just bowed his head and took a step back, showing an extremely respectful attitude. Even Dylan Kelly also had an expression of respect.

"We can use our tactics to their advantage. They can lay a pocket for us, and we can also lay a pocket for them." The white-haired veteran's eyes were as bright as lightning.

He is the most experienced and prestigious veteran of the Dylans family, Dylan Skelly's biological uncle, Dylan Spraggett, the once famous Dylans Wild Elephant in southern Virginia, and the head of the Dylans family. The first general, if it weren't for the suppression from within the family and the rapid rise of Samor's power in the south, this aggressive Dylans wild elephant might have been able to become the one to unify the southern coast.

The years have not worn away the wildness in him. He no longer needs to go to the battlefield. He has thick white hair, cut into a very energetic flat top, his eyes are slightly protruding, and he stares at the sketch calmly, hesitating. After a while, his fingers landed heavily on the southwest corner of this temporary sketch, and he said affirmatively

"Anyone who is not blind can see that the best way to break through our defense line is not to directly occupy the mountains in front, but to cut off the connection between our fleet and the mountains from the side.

This is our weakest defensive point. Because the terrain is flat, the cavalry can quickly cross this tidal flat. This is a wide area, and our fleet is docked at this location. It seems to be able to support the mountain very well. line of defense, but also exposed our greatest weakness."

"The biggest weakness? Uncle Polragut, how do you say this?" Dylan Kelly was stunned for a moment when he heard it. A famous general is a famous general. Every sentence is focused on the most important place.

Dylan Kelly's face changed slightly, and the weakness in Pollaght's mouth made her heart twitch.

Yes, weakness. From just now, she felt that there was something unexplainable, that is, if the plan was successful, the Salanders could wipe out the entire army, but there was nothing they could do against the naval warships that could escape at any time.

But Salander's commander seems to be very confident in doing this, otherwise he would not have formulated this extremely insidious tactic. Dylan Kelly hasn't figured out what the disconnect is, but he hasn't figured it out yet. Knowing that such a dense thinking of the other party will never leave such a big loophole, it is like an invisible dagger, no one knows where it will pierce one's chest.

"Is it wrong to use the fleet to support the infantry?" Dylan Kelly panted nervously. Her bloodshot eyes stared at Dylan Spragget, and she asked with confusion on her face.

"In a positive situation, this is the right thing to do, but if the enemy has several times more troops than you, it is the wrong thing to do." Poragut bent down and used his fingers full of cyan joints to move along the lines. He drew a slash on the map and said in a cold tone.

"Our fleet is 400 meters long from the front line, but what supports this line of communication is only a simple stone wall and less than 4,000 troops. This is completely disproportionate to the strength of the opposite side."

"If Salander's army takes advantage of our army's fierce fighting, then divide the hidden troops into two groups, one group will storm the top of the mountain to entangle our defenders on the hillside, and the other group will use a large number of cavalry as blades to attack from a certain defensive point. Suddenly launched an all-out assault on our fleet's flank defense line." Poragut paused, then suddenly raised his voice and said, "I don't know what the choice between the fleet and the army will be at that time."

"this"

Dylan Kelly's face turned pale and she didn't know how to answer this question.

Yes, this is the real killer move that I have never been able to detect. It is something that the other party is trying every possible means to cover up with thousands of appointments. It can be said to be extremely ruthless. As Polagget said, if the other party takes advantage of force, while forcing Dillons' army and fleet into a desperate battle,

Should he order the fleet to immediately withdraw from the port and use the Bao family's fleet to abandon the 7,000 land troops to the butcher's knife of the Salanders? Or should he order a desperate fight, stay to support the retreating army, and finally fall into a desperate situation where he cannot retreat? "

"This choice is too difficult"

Dylans Kelly's heart was completely tangled. Even with her decisiveness, she didn't know how to choose. This was an unbreakable dead end. "No matter which one you choose, the Dylans family is destined to fall.

"This is our fatal point." Polagget's words were like a lingering whirlpool, echoing in her mind from time to time. Polagget's eyes swept across everyone's faces,

He enjoyed the current atmosphere very much. He had not felt this way for many years. Polagat licked his thirsty lips. Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, the corners of his mouth subconsciously raised slightly.

He likes to fight. This is a talent that is part of his blood. The former number one general of the Dylans family, although he is no longer young, the wild nature hidden in his heart will never fade away with age. Isn't it just to insist on joining the army this time in order to fight at a critical moment? At this moment, he once again showed his edge and let all the generals on the road see that there is not only a falcon in Vikiya, but also a wild elephant that is getting stronger with age.

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

It was a dry afternoon at dusk, and the interior walls were made of graceful white marble. There are many stalactites and strange rocks on the wall, and the whole room seems to be filled with a layer of slightly green air, making it look particularly peaceful.

There was a man standing against the wall with his hands behind his back. His eyes looked around, and finally his eyes fell on a strong man standing next to the war chess table.

"So..." the man standing against the wall spoke. His voice was loud and clear, the voice of a fat man. "That guy named Victonsey won. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have won." Yes, isn't it? Marquis Bodek?"

"Yes, but although Moleh's attack was weak, it should not have led to the annihilation of the entire army." The man next to him, known as Marquis Bodek, quickly responded in a low voice.

"Will the whole situation change?".

"Perhaps we will reverse the situation in the future and avenge this arrow. But at present, the overall strength of the Vecian army is obvious. Although Duke Linkson is still in charge in the northwest, Berent in the north is facing a crisis. After the defeat, there has been no action. In fact, this is not a bad thing. Second Highness, what do you think? "

"Hmph, that Berent was originally a waste. If he hadn't climbed onto the lap of his eldest brother, he would have been executed by the king's father's order. The situation in the north has become so rotten, and he is the one who bears the greatest responsibility." The man standing against the wall said dullly. With a snort, his whole body left the wall and stood up straight.

He is the second prince of the Kingdom of Salander. Among the princes that His Majesty the Sultan dislikes the least, if the fourth prince born to an ugly woman is not included, then he belongs to this second prince.

His appearance is really strange. He is about thirty years old, has hair on his head, and his skin is light black, which is definitely different among the Salanders. His eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose, None of them are big, and they really can’t be called handsome men.

However, this appearance also leaves a deep impression on people. It is a tall and sturdy figure, which makes people feel full of energy and vitality. However, in the eyes of the romantic and handsome Salander people, this appearance can only be described as vicious.

"What do you think? Marquis Bodek." With his fierce eyes, Fu looked at the adjutant whom he regarded as his confidant, and said sarcastically, "In fact, the victory of Vicseton this time, It can only be said that we took advantage of Moleh's unclear intelligence. We may not be so lucky next time. We should strengthen the collection and analysis of intelligence. This is the key to victory."

He slowly walked towards the war chess table. He was wearing a black turtleneck and a lavender suit. This elegant outfit did not match his naturally fierce face.

Marquis Bodek was extremely well-behaved. He spread a map on the table and said respectfully, "This is the distribution map of the two armies at that time. Please look down from the front." "

This map is made from a precious smooth animal hide. Red represents the Kyoto Army, and green represents the Northern Army. There are two colored arrows, one is distributed in the north, and the other is distributed on the front of the certificate with the red arrow.

"Molekh's regiment has 23,000 troops, and the Northern Army in Victon has 7,000 men, so Molekh has an absolute advantage."

"Moleh also has the upper hand in the military position. He has already crossed the Mustang Mountains where he is most likely to be blocked. However, this guy..." He put his thick hand on his forehead and said, "This guy showed off decades ago and used It is a route of march to quell the rebellion in the north, which really does not seek progress.”

"But using troops is a kind of repetition of experience. Moleh is also an experienced guy. This time he has an absolute advantage. It is inevitable that there will be something..." Marquis Bodek said.

"Of course it sounds perfect on paper, but in actual combat, it's not the same thing. Did that idiot Moleh forget that there is an old fox named Ode in the western mountainous area? He marched so carelessly, only I'm afraid I've been under the gaze of others for a long time." Fu curled the corners of his mouth in disdain.

"Okay, let's talk about that eye-catching battle." He waved to Marquis Bodek.

Marquis Bodek quickly placed some marks representing the strength and types of troops from the cabinet under the military platform on the map, and explained to Fu the situation of the last stage of the "Battle of Molenburg".

On the map, the green arrow representing the Kyoto Army continued to divide into sections of icons, and was finally defeated by the red arrow face to face. Then, the Green Arrow, which was originally divided into two forces to the left and right, was surrounded by the Red Arrow from behind and right, and merged into one to attack the rear of the Red Arrow... "

"hiss"

When the mark representing the heavy cavalry was finally replaced by the already chaotic green icon,

Fu's face was full of ferociousness, but he couldn't help but groan. He really didn't expect that the Northern Army at Victon Fortress would actually use such a fatal move at this moment.

Faced with a comprehensive advantage, this Victonese was able to calmly analyze the battle situation and seize the opportunity with astonishing skill.

"It's like watching an interesting magic trick." Fu's eyes flickered, and he looked at his adjutant, Marquis Bodek, with interest. A curtain wiper completely erased the green icons on the map, and finally there was only overwhelming red

"Papa"

There was a rush of footsteps in the distance, and a servant wearing a black robe hurriedly ran over and whispered into His Highness Fu's ear. Fu's face was startled at first, and then he smiled boldly.

"Your Highness, what's the good news?" Adjutant Bould asked curiously.

"Haha, that brother of mine was actually defeated." His Highness the Second Highness laughed so hard that he was out of breath. "60,000 people fought against 20,000 people, and nearly half of them were suppressed. Then he looked at others helplessly and took pictures. Just slap your butt and leave.”
