It is also an advantage to search for barren mountains and wild mountains to advance. For the Red Spirit, they are rare metals, and most of them are stored in remote places. Still will often be discovered by Hong Ling's keen sense. Because of this, the Qincheng army stopped and walked, gradually approaching the direction of Florence city.
Another month has passed, and at this time, the continent of Ryuzakinus has fully entered spring. As the temperature gradually increased, everything on the earth began to recover, plants sprouted, and slaves responsible for farming by commoners and nobles also began to work in the fields.
For a month, Glacis had never had enough to eat. Of course, Ye Yinzhu will not starve him all the time. Every once in a while, he will use the space teleportation circle to return to Dongfeng City on the border of the Milan Empire and ask Jin Jin for a certain amount of food to bring back to Glacis, who has a big stomach. King eats. There is no problem maintaining his physical strength.
Although no looting has been completed in this month, the soldiers of Zither City have also gained a lot. Not only have the cooperative exercises of various arms become more proficient, but also a lot of rare metals have been obtained, and there is even a finger-sized piece of gold. .
"It's finally here, even I feel itchy." Oliveira jumped off his dragon mount and landed beside Ye Yinzhu.
Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly and said, "Is it coming soon? How is the situation ahead?" While talking, he raised his hand and ordered the soldiers of Zither City to temporarily stop advancing.
Oliveira squatted down on the spot, spread out the sheepskin map, circled an area on the map with his fingers, and said: "We are at this position now, and if we move forward, we will enter the capital business district of the Kingdom of Floro. I I understand what you mean. It is to surprise the city of Florence and attack the foundation of the kingdom of Florentia. As long as we can deal a heavy blow to the royal family of Florentine, then the Florentian army will be destroyed by itself. I have studied the map carefully, and just now I personally went to the front to scout the terrain. Things are not as simple as we imagined."
"Oh? What did you find?" Ye Yinzhu's face also became serious. Now they can be said to have penetrated into the enemy's interior, and they must be extremely careful in their actions. Although it has a space teleportation magic circle, it can be considered as the effect of life storage gems. A teleportation can only send away 200 people at most. For the Qincheng army with a number of more than 3,000, it is impossible to completely evacuate within two days. This is after Ye Yinzhu's magic power has been greatly improved .
Oliveira said: "There are two major commercial districts in the Kingdom of Flora, which are also the foundation of the entire country. One of the two major commercial districts is the southwest commercial district composed of fifteen big cities on the Nuoer Plain. Of course, the original There are twenty cities. We have robbed five of them. The other one is the capital business district with the city of Florence as the core and radiating outwards for nearly 50,000 square kilometers. It can be regarded as a medium-sized country with a land area of about 1.2 million square kilometers. Although the wealth of the capital business district in the Kingdom of Flora is the largest, there is also a disadvantage for us. That is, it is too dense Yes. In the southwest business district, the distance between each city is at least hundreds of miles. Twenty major cities almost radiate nearly 300,000 square kilometers of fertile land. It covers the entire Nuoer Plain. And this capital business district The number of large cities in China is no less than that of the Southwest business circle, but it only occupies 50,000 square kilometers, have you thought of anything?"
Ye Yinzhu nodded, and said: "You mean, the cities in the business circle of the capital of the Kingdom of Flora are very close to each other, so it is very convenient for them to rescue each other. Is that so?"
Oliveira nodded, and said: "That's right. I have investigated it with my son. It is impossible for us to directly attack the city of Florence. If we think of Florence, we must pass through at least three cities before we can get within the shortest distance. Arrive at the capital. There are more than 20 large cities around the city of Florence, supporting and guarding the capital like stars holding the moon."
Ye Yinzhu said: "Then we have to attack other cities first, or don't care about other cities, and keep rushing towards Florence?"
Oliveira said: "Exactly. Although the interior of the Floro Kingdom is now empty, every city must have a city defense force to maintain law and order. We will calculate according to the minimum. If each city has three thousand city defense forces, the two There are as many as 60,000 in more than a dozen cities. In addition, there must be a Royal Guard in the capital Florence, and it is conservatively estimated that there will be more than 10,000. In this way, the largest number of enemies we will encounter in the future will reach 70,000 No matter whether we plunder the outlying cities first or rush directly to the city of Florence, in Florence, which has the outlying cities as barriers, they can immediately draw power from the surrounding cities.
In the city of Florence. Relying on the strong defense of the capital to deal with it, we only have more than 3,000 people after all. Although each of us is a strong man, we cannot stand up to the enemy's crowd tactics. Civilians will become our enemies. "
Accompanied by Oliveira, Ye Yinzhu undoubtedly reduced a lot of chances of making mistakes. No matter how great a commander is, it is impossible to never make mistakes.
After listening to Oliveira's words. Ye Yinxiu immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, we still need to act cautiously. It seems that the city of Florence is not easy to attack. Let me think about it."
Oliveira did not interrupt Ye Yinzhu's train of thought. In terms of details, he was more comprehensive than Ye Yinzhu, but in terms of overall control and the overall situation of the battle, Oliveira lamented that , he and Ye Yinzhu can be said to be the best complements.
Ye Yinzhu pondered for ten minutes before speaking again, "Since we are going deep into the city of Florence, we are likely to be surrounded by the opponent, so let's continue the guerrilla warfare we had at the beginning. According to the report from our horned eagle knight, the people in front of Florence The 400,000 troops have never taken any action. They just trained and recuperated. It would take at least half a month for the light cavalry to march back here from the West African city and Notting city. These half a month is enough for us to do a lot of things. It seems that we should not be too greedy, although we may not be able to completely collapse the Kingdom of Flora this time, we must at least make them feel extremely distressed."
While talking, Ye Yinzhu showed a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, "Brother Oliveira, tell me, if a city in the capital's business circle is looted by us, how will King Floro react?"
Oliveira's eyes lit up, "He will definitely transfer all the available troops around back to the capital, who is not afraid of being caught in the old nest? In this way, the outer cities of the capital's business district will definitely be defenseless, and we can also take advantage of the vacancy , don’t attack Florence, just loitering and looting outside, the benefits obtained are huge enough.”
Ye Yinzhu waved his hand vigorously, "That's it. Let's start from the periphery."
After careful discussion, the Zither City army embarked on the journey again. After two full months of recharging their energy, the fighters in Zither City had accumulated their fighting spirit to the peak. When the next morning came, they seemed to appear out of nowhere, and came to a city on the outermost periphery of the business district of the capital of Florence.
Just as they judged, due to the transfer of the army to the front line, the defense of the capital's business district is extremely weak. There are only less than 3,000 defenders in this city, and there is no need for the giant war beast Glacis. The volley, coupled with the spear-throwing suppression of the dryad druid, made them successfully rush into the city.
Another round of looting began. However, to Ye Yinzhu's disappointment, the number of nobles in the capital's commercial district is actually a little less than that in the southwest commercial district. Compared with the city, it is much inferior. Although the city they looted was larger than Notting City and West Africa City.
The urban density of the capital's commercial district is certainly the best protection for Florence, but it is much more convenient for them to rob in Ye Yinzhu. In the southwest commercial district, it takes at least five days to rob the next city. Here, It only takes two days, and they can come to a big city below. According to the tactical arrangement of Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira, they did not go deep into the capital's business district, but started looting from the outside. Every time they passed through a city, they looted all the property and various available resources. Food was not spared either.
After Ye Yinzhu and the others ransacked the third city in the capital's commercial district, the Horned Eagle Knight sent news that the 400,000 troops on the front line of Foluo had sent 100,000 light cavalry, and they were rushing towards the capital day and night. Got the message.
After receiving this news, Ye Yinzhu and Oliveira couldn't help feeling more confident. It would take twenty days to rush back from the front line. How many cities can they loot in twenty days? Therefore, while ordering the Horned Eagle Knight to continue reconnaissance, they continued their actions without any scruples. Almost greedy baptized the wealth of the kingdom of Floro.
…
Kessler led the army unabashedly towards the direction of Florence. One hundred thousand light cavalry raided day and night, marching extremely fast. .
