Otherworldly Castle Era

Li Jing received the military report from Pioneer Zhu Cheng and knew that the enemy was spotted ahead, so he ordered the whole army to prepare for the battle, so as not to be caught by the enemy by surprise.

From the intelligence ahead, it can be seen that Xia Guo’s goal this time, the Yili Alliance, is very different from the previous forces. The most obvious thing is that the other party knows how to use wisdom, and this alone knows that the enemy cannot be peeped.

From the fact that the enemy sent troops deep into the enemy's belly to carry out sabotage operations, we can know that there must be capable people in the Yili coalition, which is completely different from the enemies that Xia Guo encountered in the past who would only blindly act.

Before, Li Jing thought that this time his opponent would only be the same as the forces he had encountered before. Either he would send out a large army to choose a battlefield and fight face to face; or he would stick to the city and have a war of attrition with Xia Guo's army.

But all the signs he got from the front now showed that the enemy this time could not be underestimated-although Li Jing had never underestimated any opponent.

The distance between the vanguard and the main force is only about a day's journey. This is a short distance. If it is far away, it will not be able to catch up with the support vanguard. If it is close, there is no need to set up a vanguard.

In addition to investigating the enemy's situation, building bridges when encountering water, and opening roads in the mountains, the role of the vanguard is more important to disrupt the deployment of the enemy's troops and gain time for the main rear forces to make arrangements.

Just like Xia Guo’s expedition this time, with Zhu Cheng’s vanguard in the front, the main force behind can safely march boldly without worrying about sudden attacks from the enemy. Of course, it does not mean that the main force has not sent out scouts, at least the necessary vigilance is still necessary.

Even if an enemy army bypasses the vanguard and directly attacks its main force, the vanguard in front will become a surprise soldier, threatening the enemy at any time-at least the enemy with a little brain will not choose this way, because it will cause him to Very passive.

If the enemy chooses to divide its forces and attack the main force and the vanguard at the same time, it will be no different from head-to-head on the battlefield. It will return to the result of seeing who is stronger. It is meaningless to do so.

In addition, if the vanguard encounters a small group of enemy forces, it will be annihilated. If it encounters the enemy's main force, it will not be eliminated in the first place. At least it can persist until the main force behind it.

The war itself is a very complex and huge system. In short, to win, both strategy and strength are indispensable. This is a competition of wisdom and courage, organization and knowledge...

On the vanguard side, Zhu Cheng led the army to the river where the bridge was damaged in the scout report. He looked at the river that was neither wide nor narrow, as if he could pass without wading through the water.

"Order the rear militiamen to bring their tools and come to build the bridge." Apart from anything else, Zhu Cheng gave the order to erect the bridge, but he thought that there were enemies here, so he added: "Order the servant army to send two thousand-man teams. Come here to guard."

Following Zhu Cheng's orders, the militiamen in the rear quickly rushed to the river with various professional tools and began logging and erecting bridges. The vanguard army also sent two thousand-man teams from the servant army to guard the periphery. As for the inner circle, it is of course guarded by soldiers from the 11th regiment.

Because the heaviest weapon in Xia's army is nothing more than a siege artillery, and the other is the logistical carriage horse convoy, so the bridge erected by the vanguard army is not permanent, as long as it meets the army's traffic requirements.

In less than a day, the militiamen erected a simple wooden bridge over the river so that the army could cross the river. Although the bridge is simple, it does not mean that it is of poor quality. At least, it can exist for many years if no one is damaged.

The vanguard quickly crossed the river and placed a battalion of troops here to guard it in case the enemy came again to destroy it.

As the vanguard moved forward, they found that the situation on the river side was completely different, as if they stepped into the battlefield as soon as they stepped across the river. This shore and the other shore are completely two worlds!

------------

How could the outside forces not know about such a big movement of Xia Guo's army going on the expedition?

Especially the Yili Union, when they knew that Xia Guo's goal was them, all the lords in the union were scared to death.

That's an army of four hundred thousand! With so many people, even one sip of water is enough to drown them, not to mention that this is from the army of the mysterious and powerful Xia Kingdom in the legend. Who can dare to say it can resist?

Even if it is learned later that 100,000 of these 400,000 people are from five vassal countries, and there are 100,000 familiar faces, even so, the remaining 200,000 will be enough to wipe them out several times.

Even without Xia Guo's 200,000 people, even if the other 200,000 people were at the same level as their army, they would not be able to use so many people to resist. Not to mention there are not so many ifs anymore.

Therefore, as soon as the news of Xia's army was dispatched, the information in the news made the powerful and powerful in the Yili Union feel incredible, and the strong sense of fear that followed caused a large number of surrendering factions among the forces within the union.

The same is true under the command of Lord Erie Bream of the Union of Erie. Yili summoned his subordinates to discuss as soon as he learned of the arrival of Xia's army.

After hearing the news in the castle hall, the dignitaries first fell silent, followed by an unbelievable noise, and finally fell silent again under Yili's roar. It's just that the dignitaries at this time are far less arrogant than they were when they first entered the castle, and their faces became extremely ugly, as if the sky was about to collapse.

After yelling at the noisy dignitaries in the hall, Yili turned to look at Bernie with an ugly face and asked, "Bernie, is there any good way for you?" Now Yili has grown up to look for Bernie whenever he has anything to do. .

Bernie Klee now controls the territory's intelligence system, and even the intelligence of Xia Guo's march was told to Yili. Until the time when Yili convened all the powerful and powerful for discussion, his brain had been thinking about this issue.

At this time, Bernie was asked by his lord ~www.novelmtl.com~ and he said what he thought of: "Back to lord, until now, we only have to fight."

"Fight against? What are we going to fight against?" As soon as Bernie's voice fell, a powerful man at the side immediately stood up and retorted. After he threw out the question, he turned to Yili and said, "Lord Lord, this time you can no longer I listened to Bernie, that's a 400,000 army, how can we fight!"

"What if you don't fight?" Bernie sneered at this, and unceremoniously forced him: "Aren't you going to surrender? Where do you want to put Lord Lord?"

"This...this..." The dignitaries didn't know how to refute it for a long time. Although surrendering was what he thought in his heart, Bernie had now lifted the lord Yili out. Everyone said it in person, didn't that mean that he was going to betray him?

"Retreat." Yili couldn't see it anymore, and told the rich and powerful to retreat. Then he said to Bernie: "Go on."

"Lord Lord." Bernie didn't take care of the powerful people who hated him. He thought for a while, and then said: "Since the army of the Xia country cannot be confronted by one unity, then we can only find a few more forces to unite. Up."
