Faced with the unusual geographical environment of Bobby Ridge Mountain, no one has thought of a way to conquer it. Lorist planned to organize the family's masters to climb up the cliff at night to disperse the defenders of the Fesabrun family while the enemy was not prepared. The family's armed forces quickly passed through the fork road under the cliff, but this plan was opposed by almost every general under his command. . No one wanted Lorist to take such a big risk.
Not to mention that these cliffs are all forty or fifty meters high. At such a height, a small movement or negligence may turn into a disaster, let alone climbing at night. Even if Lorist and the others can climb the cliff smoothly, how many enemies will they face? Eighty thousand! And according to the calculation of the old bandit, if the family armed forces want to quickly pass through the fork road under the cliff to reach the open area in the mountain, it will take half a day even if there is no obstacle...
In other words, the group of Lorist climbed up the cliff to disperse the defenders above the fork road and had to hold on for more than eight hours, which was not an achievable task at all. In particular, Lorist and the others couldn't defend against danger, but had to move at the same speed as the family's armed forces on the fork road below so as to be able to take care of them. This is even more deceitful, because if something happens to Lorist and the others above, the family armed forces below will not be able to escape, and if the entire army is wiped out, they can only be captured obediently.
Lorist is not a superman, he knows this in his heart, even if he is a sword master, he can only shy away from a well-disciplined army of 10,000 people. It's very simple, no matter how powerful the Juggernaut is, if he kills at most two or three thousand people, he will be overwhelmed by the remaining soldiers. Lorist is very regretful. He originally prepared a beheading tactic. He led people up the cliff and went to trouble the Grand Duke Fesabrun. The family armed forces will obediently put down their weapons.
Of course, this is just Lorist's fantasy. With Grand Duke Fessabrun's temperament, even if he falls into Lorist's hands, he will only fight to the death, and it is very likely that he will give the Fessabrun family a death order. The armed forces launched an attack in order to die with Lorist. They won't even meet Lorist at all, once they find Lorist and they climbed the cliff, they will directly order the family's armed forces to launch a counterattack...
What Bodfinger said is very reasonable. Now we have the upper hand in terms of military strength and family strength. Whether it is a long-term confrontation or defending against the attack of the rangers of the Feisabrun family, we are sure to win. Don't say goodbye Yes, just dragging on for about a year, the four Northland alliances can still support it easily, but the Feisabrun family will collapse due to lack of supplies. After all, it takes a lot of money to support an 80,000 family armed force in a state of war. Great price.
At present, the southern province has basically fallen into the hands of the four northern alliances, cutting off the trade route from the Fisabrun family's territory to the four central duchies, even though the Grand Duke of Fesabrun led the 80,000 family armed forces to occupy the Bob Ridge Mountain It doesn't help, the overall situation is set, no matter how much you jump up, it's just a dying struggle. Since we have no intention of attacking the Eastern Wilderness Province, we just need to build a strong line of defense around the Bobiliqi Mountain. The longer the time delays, the more supplies the Feisabrun family will consume and the faster they will be defeated.
Lorist was a little reconciled. Although Bodfinger said it lightly, the Fessabrunn family's armed forces occupied Mount Bobby Ridge and indeed held back most of the troops of the four northern alliances. In the original strategy plan for the southern province, after the Fisabrunn family was driven out of the southern province, a castle fortress was built at the junction with Donghuang province to set up a blockade. The Pegasus Legion of the Lim Family can take over.
But the current situation forced Lorist to deploy most of the troops of the four Northland alliances here, almost doubling the number of troops to guard against the Fesabrunn family's armed forces occupying Mount Bobby Ridge. This left Lorist with no reserve troops. Although the Norton family is rich and powerful, it will take a long time to consume materials compared with the Feisabrun family, which is not a small burden. I believe that Baron Speer, who is in charge of the family's finances, will soon appear in front of him with a gloomy face.
Lorist felt it was a headache, but with such a dangerous geography as Bob Ridge Mountain, it was impossible to order the family's armed forces to attack, it would be like ordering to die. The old guy found a good place, so he was helpless and helpless. After much deliberation, Lorist still adopted Bodfinger's suggestion, first set up a defensive line and drag it down slowly, in the end it will be the Feisabrun family who can't stand it.
Lorist handed over the task of defending the armed forces of the Fesabrunn family on Bobby Ridge Mountain to the Rock Legion led by Bodfinger, and ordered the Pegasus Legion of the Felim Family to assist. The Flying Tiger Legion led by Tiger Ross moved to the border between the Southern Province and the Eastern Wilderness Province with the heavy armored regiment of the Kenmes family, the light cavalry regiment of the Shaheen family, and the light infantry regiment, and established according to the original plan. blockade.
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye. It was very peaceful during this time, except for the Fesabrunn family armed forces on Mount Bobyridge who occasionally dispatched grass barbarian cavalry and rangers to carry out sneak and night raids on the defensive positions of the Rock Legion under construction. The conflicts and battles, even the sneak attacks and night raids, are basically left as soon as they are touched, never procrastinating, and run fast without taking advantage. It is more accurate to say that they are harassment operations.
Seeing that it was already November, and the weather was getting colder, Lorist was very curious about how the Fesabrun family's armed forces on Mount Bobylich were going to prepare for the winter. The mountains are no better than the mountains, and people will freeze to death in winter. Lorist approached several times for reconnaissance, but found no signs of large-scale construction on the mountain. He called the old bandit over to inquire, and confirmed that there were no large caves on the mountain. Can't see it here.
But in this way, it might be a good idea to launch a surprise attack in winter. Think about the fact that the soldiers of the Feisabrun family probably won't stand on the cliff to suffer from the cold, and it is easy to be negligent about the fork in the road below. Then When the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, you can use your skis to quickly rush in from the fork in the road to catch them off guard. The Norton family has always insisted on winter training, with steel crossbows mounted on sleds. changed hands...
The more Rorist thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea. He was about to call his generals to have a good discussion, but saw Shi Huade rushing into the camp with a panicked expression: "Your Highness, Your Highness..."
"Calm down, why panic, the sky hasn't fallen, if you want to be in front of the avalanche without changing your face, where is your usual kung fu?" Lorist scolded dissatisfied.
"No, Your Highness, look, the two new secret reports from the family territory are extremely urgent!" Schwader spread two pieces of gray silk as thin as cicada's wings on the table, and the silk was densely written on it. , it seems that it should be sent by Xinying just now.
Lorist took a closer look, and felt that his head was buzzing, and hurriedly picked up the silk for a closer look. The more he looked, the paler his face became, and he had a thought in his heart, he was fooled, this old guy Fesabrun is really As treacherous as a fox, a golden cicada cleverly came out of its shell. I thought he was on Mount Bobby Ridge, but he didn't know when he was transferred to Muyeyuan Province. These two blows really hit the Norton family's vitals, but At present, I have no soldiers to adjust...
The two silk letters sent by Shi Huade contained bad news. The first letter reported that the Chase Cavalry Corps suffered heavy losses in Makinohara Province. The commander of the army, Josk, was seriously injured, and the deputy commander, Yuri, was seriously injured. , Pete, the commander of the Third Corps, died in battle. The three regiments have lost more than 30,000 people, and the Chaser Legion can be said to have been disabled. Now they have retreated to the eastern part of the Northland. The Seventh Battalion of the Guards used steel crossbow shots to force back the pursuing enemy. Maybe this chain bridge connecting Beidi and Makinohara Province will be destroyed...
The battle report briefly described the reasons for the defeat of the Chaser Legion. Since the Chaser Legion defeated the Fourth Frontier Ranger Legion of the Feisabrun Family under the leadership of the God Arrow Josk, it has already occupied more than half of the Makinohara Province. In terms of area, the Fourth Frontier Ranger Army could only retreat to the east of the Sochus River and defend by the river, and two-thirds of Muyeyuan Province became the territory where the Ranger Rangers ran wild. In accordance with the pre-war instructions, the Chaser Legion implemented a method to weaken the strength of the Feisabrun family. All the leaders of the Muyeyuan Province and the grazing cattle and sheep were forcibly relocated to the eastern part of the Northland.
The Third Hunting Cavalry Corps and two Chariot Steel Crossbow Battalions, which were formed just three days ago, were led by Corps Commander Pete to carry out the task of mopping up the border of the eastern grasslands of Muyeyuan Province. Twenty-one thousand troops are more than enough to complete such a task. , but did not expect to be attacked by countless grass barbarian cavalry, and finally trapped on an unnamed highland, he had no choice but to fly Xinying to ask for help. Yuri, who received the request for help, hurriedly led the second cavalry regiment to the rescue, but he did not expect that this was the strategy of the Grand Duke Fesabrunn to encircle the rescue point. It was easy to break out and meet up with the remnants of the Third Chaser Cavalry Corps...
If it weren't for the arrival of the first hunting cavalry regiment led by the divine arrow Josk, the second and third hunting cavalry regiments would have been completely wiped out. Pete had already died on the battlefield, and Yuri was seriously injured. Josk led the remnant soldiers out of the siege, but he was severely injured and fell off because of blocking the Grand Duke Fesabrun. He sacrificed six or seven families of the Silver Knights and was finally rescued.
According to the battle report, the number of cavalrymen besieged was estimated to be as high as about 100,000. The surviving soldiers of the Chaser Legion recalled that there were cavalrymen everywhere, killing more and more. Moreover, the huge shield vehicles they built with logs made the steel crossbow of the chariot useless, and all the soldiers of the Chasseur Cavalry had to fight hand-to-hand with the grass barbarian cavalry. In addition, the Fourth Frontier Ranger Legion of the Feisabrunn family has resumed its full strength, but most of the wild cavalry joined this legion...
This is bad news. Without the Makinohara Province, the Chase Cavalry Corps suffered heavy losses. The fortress city Pedro City at the gap between the two provinces of Winston and Muyehara Province lost its shelter. And protection, if the victorious Grand Duke Fesabrun led the grass barbarian cavalry to directly attack the city of Pedro and capture the city, then Winston Province would be like a helpless girl trembling in front of the gangsters, Wendebu If Liwang City also falls, all the efforts and sacrifices made by the four northern alliances will be in vain, and there is no other way but to withdraw their troops back to Winston Province to counterattack, and then the situation in which the southern province has settled down will be lost Returning to the original state, the Feisabrun family will reconnect with the four principalities in the middle.
The old guy is so powerful! Lorist is in a dilemma at this moment. The southern province can't mobilize any troops. The 80,000 troops of the Feisabrun family have gathered on the Bobby Ridge Mountain, restraining so many troops from the four northern alliances. If they return to the army I'm afraid that the blockade that has been gradually built in the past three months will be easily broken through. After all, the Feisabrun family's armed forces have been shut out. And what Lorist was worried about was that the Grand Duke Fesabrun would give him another strategy. When he brought his troops back for reinforcements, the old man used his carbine and led the barbarian cavalry to sweep the southern province. The result was equally bad.
"Where is Baron Farea?" Lorist thought of Farea, the commander of the Guards Legion.
"This..." Schwader opened a notepad and quickly looked it up: "Your Highness, Lord Farea inspected the castle fortress under construction on Sehek Hill seven days ago. After leaving, he returned to King Windbury. To continue inspecting the project of Xihu Town, we should return to Windbury King City now."
"Immediately release the letter eagle to send an order, telling Farea to stick to the city of Pedro no matter what the price is. Then send a letter to Earl Shaheen, telling him the current battle situation, and asking him to send another family corps to rush to help Pedro. Luocheng."
"Yes, Your Highness." Shi Huade turned around and hurried out of the tent.
Lorist let out a long sigh: "El, Reddy."
"Your Highness..." El and Reddy appeared in front of Lorist.
"You heard it, the old guy gave us a heavy blow. Now I have a task for you, find a way to get me a few people alive on the mountain. I want to know that there are still armed forces of the Feisabrun family guarding the mountain. How many people, how many people was taken away by that old guy. Also, how are they going to nest on the mountain?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Al and Reddy left, Lorist sat down and picked up the second silk letter. This is a warning letter written by Tager himself, and it is not good news. The letter says that the mountain barbarian tribe in the Dragon Mountain Range is about to move, and it is very likely that the target of the robbery will be directed at the Norton family's territory.
The mountain barbarian tribe, that was a pain in Lorist's heart that he didn't want to touch. What happened to the mountain barbarian tribe in the past made Lorist deliberately avoid some matters related to the mountain barbarian tribe. Although he only stayed in the mountain barbarian tribe for a few months, Lorist also got some information about the mountain barbarian tribe, like the mountain barbarian tribe that is adjacent to the Norton family's territory, what is it called, the Habibaba mountain barbarian tribe At that time, they were competing with a big mountain barbarian tribe in another area for the position of "Big Strong Bassen", so they didn't pay much attention to the movement in the Norton family's territory.
In the first few years after returning to the family territory, Lorist built a small sentry tower fortress at the junction of the family territory and the Demon Dragon Mountain Range, and hired a mercenary group named Five Swords to defend there. Later, I escaped from hunting and went to the Demon Dragon Mountains. I had the experience of the mountain barbarian tribe. After returning, I gave the sentry tower fortress at the junction of the two mountains to the Five Swords Mercenary Group, making it gradually develop into a demonic explorer. A small mercenary town in the Dragon Mountain Range. It is said that the small town also intersects with the Shanman tribe, and has become a source of goods and materials exchanged by the Shanman tribe.
Tagle's warning letter was referring to the news from this small town. It was said that the Shanman tribe would soon attack the Norton family's territory to plunder supplies. People in the small town were in panic, and many residents had already withdrawn to the family territory. In addition, the person in charge of the trading point of the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce in the eastern part of the Northland, which is responsible for purchasing and trading the materials of the Shanman tribe, also wrote a secret letter, saying that the Shanman tribe who had made good friends with the company revealed that a group of grassman came to the mountain. Their purpose is to hope that the various mountain barbarian tribes can unite to attack the Norton family's territory...
Needless to say, it must have been written by the old guy Fesabrun again. One move after another, he deserves to be the God of the Grassland Army back then. Lorist wondered with a gloomy face, whether he should return to the family territory to calm his mind. The mountain barbarian tribe is not fearless, and there are so many guard battalions in the family territory to ensure safety. The only thing to worry about is whether Pedro City can hold on, which is the key to whether the Feisabrun family can stand up.
