"Yes."
Colin wanted to deny it, but for some reason, he chose to be honest when the words came to his lips.
"What?" Vera widened her eyes, as if meeting the young knight in front of her for the first time, "Then... what about the plan? The suspect made the appearance of crossing the river, but in fact hid in the most dangerous bend in the river... Didn't you say The most dangerous place is the safest... "
"That's all lying to you." Colin looked into the eyes of the female mage, "We have tricked those wolf cavalry once before, how could they be fooled again so easily?"
"You..." Vera took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
She didn't lack courage in the first place, and she lost her composure just now because her hope of escape was suddenly shattered.
"What are you doing this for?"
Vera's expression was complicated. The glorious image that Colin had built in her heart was collapsing.
"We can't escape." Colin sighed, his tone gradually becoming colder, "From the moment you made the decision not to abandon the rout, you should have this awareness.
This is a life-and-death battlefield, there is no room for kindness, let alone innocence!
Even if my trick of suspicion tricks the pursuers into thinking that we have really crossed the river, how long can we be deceived
They are wolf cavalry, but there is a large group of infantry on our side. After they cross the river and find something is wrong, it will take at most a day or two to catch up.
We cannot avoid this battle!
Therefore, since fighting cannot be avoided, the only thing we can do is to choose the most favorable place for fighting. "
Ke Lin pointed at his feet, and said in a deep voice, "This is the most dangerous place, but also the place where we have the best chance of winning!"
"Why?" Vera felt that she no longer dared to trust Colin.
Before Colin could answer, Bliss had already said, "Because we have nowhere to escape here."
"That's right!" Colin took a deep look at Bliss, "Only rabbits that are cornered will turn around and bite people, and the same goes for those defeated soldiers.
If we are overtaken by wolf cavalry in the open field, there is no doubt that as long as the opponent charges, the rout soldiers we gathered will collapse and flee in all directions.
Therefore, there must be no way for them to escape.
Since we don't want to abandon them, we must never let them abandon us!
Either win the battle, or die here together! "
Colin's eloquent remarks made Vera very upset.
She no longer knew how to evaluate the young knight in front of her.
I don't know whether what he did was right or wrong.
Whether it was her childhood spent in Winter City or her schooling career at Yevil Tower, everything Vera encountered was simple and beautiful.
Of course, this is also because she, who is of noble status, is well protected.
However, Vera is not ignorant of evil.
However, she has never met anyone like Colin.
A brave and fearless knight? A resourceful genius? An elegant and polite gentleman? A devil who plays with people's hearts
…
She didn't know which one was his real face.
Or, are these all
Compared to Vera, who was not yet fully mature, Bliss's reaction was much simpler.
This battle-tested knight pays more attention to practical results: "The strategy you are sure will work? You know, the Marquis Charles also had a similar plan."
"You mean the Battle of Mirror Lake, right?" Colin seemed to have known that Bliss would ask this question.
"That's right."
"Yes, I must admit that my strategy was inspired by the Marquis of Charles." Colin said seriously, but actually rolled his eyes in his heart.
Fighting with one's back, breaking the boat, putting one's life on the line and reviving one's life are not new strategies in another time and space.
But it has not appeared in this time and space.
The layout of Marquis Charles in Mirror Lake does have the prototype of a last stand in it.
But in Colin's opinion, Marquis Charles's handling of details was terrible.
The details make the difference between success and failure.
The same is to die and survive, Han Xin was able to fight a classic battle in Jingxing, but Ma Di could only lose to Jieting, which has become a joke through the ages.
Ke Lin is confident that he will not become another Ma Su.
Bliss obviously didn't have such confidence, and continued to ask with a cold face: "Marquis Charles' strategy didn't succeed in Mirror Lake, why do you think you can use a similar strategy to succeed in Running River?"
"Because the Marquis Charles made two big mistakes!
First of all, his heart is not cruel enough! Although the Jinghu camp is backwaters, it is not really a hopeless situation. Just think of the routs, many of whom escaped by jumping into the lake.
That's why I chose this bend in the River Run.
Surrounded by water on three sides, the current is fast, and the downstream is a waterfall and cliff, and there is no way to escape. It is a real desperate situation.
Here, they can only fight to the death! "
Bliss's expression moved slightly, and he continued to ask: "What about the second mistake?"
"The Marquis's second mistake was not leaving anyone in the Jinghu camp who could lead those miscellaneous soldiers to fight to the death." Colin waved his hand at Bliss, "I'm not saying you're not qualified..."
"I really don't have the qualifications, and I even got away with it." Bliss didn't mind at all.
Colin admired the cold-faced knight even more, nodded and continued:
"Under the circumstances at that time, the Jinghu camp needed a nobleman with sufficient prestige, a lord with a title, to stabilize the miscellaneous soldiers who were temporarily recruited, let them fight hard, and cause enough damage to the trolls. Trouble.
In this way, Marquis Charles led the army to attack from behind the troll, attacking from both sides, there was only a slight chance of winning.
It's a pity that Lord Marquis didn't leave enough important figures in the Jinghu camp at all...
But we will not make such mistakes! "
Having said that, Colin stepped forward, approached Vera, and stared closely into her eyes: "So this time, I will stay in the river bend as the first heir to the Baron of Graycastle, and live and share with those soldiers." die.
Miss Vera, I don't know you..."
"Of course I will stay." Vera said without hesitation.
At this time, she has decided to trust Colin again.
Of course, she had no other choice.
Everyone here was actually tricked by Colin.
Colin nodded and turned to Bliss: "Knight Bliss, please lead the cavalry away from the river bend temporarily. When the trolls attack us, you will lead the army out from behind!"
Bliss' eyes flickered: "Why don't I stay in the river bend, and you lead the cavalry..."
"No!" Colin immediately rejected Bliss's proposal, because he knew that this was Bliss's temptation.
Those who stay on the frontal battlefield are the most dangerous, but those who lead the cavalry may still escape.
Therefore, in order to make the other party believe in him, Colin had no choice but to choose to stay: "The people who stay in Hewan need to have enough weight, and I am more suitable than you to stay. Moreover, those cavalry are all your subordinates, it is up to you Only by leading can we play a better role in combat."
Bliss' eyes changed slightly, as if he only recognized that Colin had passed his test, and nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Colin glanced at Vera again: "I know you have a noble status, so if you can reveal your true identity before the battle, it will greatly motivate those soldiers.
Of course, if you have concerns, I won't force you... "
Vera froze for a moment, but didn't speak.
Just when Colin thought the other party was unwilling, he heard a clear and firm voice:
"good!"
