    "Is this guy quite cautious? He was given such an obvious target, but he only sent less than ten scouts." Bai Zhou said to himself as he lay on his side in a patch of dead grass.

    On the side, Wolfgang is also here, but he is standing.  He was holding the tree with one hand, looking into the distance.  Since leaving Basel yesterday, he, Bai Zhou, and hundreds of coalition soldiers have stationed themselves in the Belfort Mountains, just for now.

    "If only ten scouts come, then we won't expose the target and let them in." There was no regret on Wolfgang's face, as if this result was not bad.

    "Well, that's right. There's no need to touch them yet. There are only ten of them. It's not worthwhile to alarm the real owner for this piece of mosquito meat." Bai Zhou said with a chuckle.

    Dealing with smart people saves trouble. As long as you tell him the strategic goals of the Western Qin people, he will quickly understand what Baizhou's plan is this time.

    "I didn't expect that the Grand Duke of Burgundy only sent cavalry, and there were thousands of them. I'm afraid, this is all his cavalry. If these people can be eaten, the Burgundians will definitely  It's unbearable." Wolfgang discussed the matter. When he heard from Bai Zhou that the Grand Duke of Burgundy might send cavalry troops for reinforcements, he expressed great doubts. You must know that the cavalry is the most powerful armed force in the cold weapon era.  , it is undoubtedly a huge waste to fight in a valley.

    In his opinion, in order to save these little fish and shrimps, the Burgundians would send out at most one or two thousand symbolic troops. As a support, it is possible that even Balfour would not enter directly.  This kind of symbolic rescue is just to show your kindness, nothing else, nothing more.

    But what Wolfgang didn¡¯t know was that the people of Xiqin were not only catching small fish and shrimps, but at least there was also a big fat fish named Claude.

    Bai Zhou asked P¨¦tain and Dassault and found out that the Grand Duke of Burgundy always trusted and supported Claude, which showed that in the Grand Duke's heart, Claude was a very good general.  Bai Zhou also agreed. Although he had never had a formal head-to-head fight with him, Claude's attributes were clearly placed there, indicating that he was definitely not a mediocre person.  Moreover, he is not a veteran nobleman with a profound background. He can only be loyal to Archduke John, and he can only be loyal to Archduke John. Naturally, he can be used very easily by the Archduke.

    To rescue his beloved general, he decided that Archduke John would not just send out a symbolic army of unknown names.  But now it seems that Bai Zhou still underestimated the Burgundians' determination to rescue Claude. Unexpectedly, they actually sent thousands of cavalry directly, and according to Wolfgang's wishes, they were all the cavalry under the Grand Duke.  This was a real surprise to the coalition forces.

    But then again, those who can become cavalry determine that they will not be old, weak, sick or disabled, and their daily salary must be higher than that of ordinary soldiers, which means that their combat effectiveness must be above the standard. Such a  A powerful force, to eat him, you still need a good pair of teeth.  For example, the five thousand private troops Wolfgang brought this time only included three or four hundred cavalry. Of course, these three or four hundred cavalry would be treated much better than the infantry, and their combat effectiveness would naturally be higher.  A step.

    "I don't know who the Grand Duke of Burgundy sent here this time. But according to his personality, the general sent here is to complete such a rescue mission. He must be a more cautious guy. Your plan is not likely to work.  Easy to implement." Wolfgang's face remained unchanged and he analyzed calmly.

    Although Belfort is a mountainous area and there are many roads leading in and out of the mountain passes, now that they know where the other party entered from, their unit will definitely not be able to escape the sight of the coalition forces.

    But, it¡¯s just that it can¡¯t escape sight.  I don¡¯t know whether the Burgundian general was lucky or knew the terrain here. The mountain road he chose did not have any good ambush points along the way.  If they were forced to ambush, the chances of being discovered by their scouts in advance would be very high.  In other words, if they cannot be lured away from the main road this time, the coalition forces will probably have to engage in frontal combat this time.

    But the mountain road is narrow, and it is impossible to take advantage of the strength of the troops. If they insist on a decisive battle with the Burgundy side, the losses of the coalition forces are estimated to be insignificant.

    However, no matter how great the loss is, this cavalry unit must bear it.  Bai Zhou understood that now was not the time to save troops. After all, if the opponent sent infantry this time, then without a good opportunity, Xi Qin might have to consider whether the deal was worthwhile.  , but now that the opponent has sent cavalry, there is nothing to consider, just go ahead and do it.

    Of course, direct confrontation is only Bai Zhou¡¯s last option, and he hasn¡¯t reached that step yet.  The Burgundians have just entered Belfort, and everything is still unknown.

    Just now Wolfgang also??Knowing that Bai Zhou wanted to lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory and catch them off guard so as to maximize the results and avoid a hand-to-hand fight right away.  But the problem is, the Grand Duke of Burgundy will not send a reckless person to complete this task, so how could he be fooled so easily?

    ¡°It is estimated that in the end, strength will speak for itself,¡± Wolfgang thought.

    "There is a proverb in our hometown: The authorities are blind to the beholder. As long as you are in the game, you may overlook anything." Bai Zhou was very irresponsible and directly translated the Chinese proverb, regardless of what Wolfgang heard.  I don't understand, "Now we are the planners, and they are the authorities, and as long as they still want to save people, they have to follow our routine. If it doesn't work once, then twice. Anyway, the Belfort Mountains are not small.  It¡¯s enough for them to wander around for a few days.¡±

    "Are you so confident? You know, there are still many talented people among the Burgundians. If they dare to enter this mountain range, they will be careful. Moreover, you have also seen that this guy has led his troops into Belfort.  , the scouts have never stopped." His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Holy Roman Empire did not understand what Bai Zhou said, but this did not prevent him from hearing the confidence in Bai Zhou's words.

    "Haha, lions always take a nap. They can't carry out such high-intensity reconnaissance activities for long." Indeed, the wave after wave of scout reconnaissance has almost never been used by generals like this. You must know that people and horses  They all have physical limitations and cannot move endlessly.  Now, this Burgundian army has clearly shown signs of overuse of scouts.  Next, if they want to maintain this level of reconnaissance, they will have to use a large number of ordinary cavalry that are not scouts.  However, doing so will still lead to a decrease in investigation efficiency. After all, the difference between professionals and non-professionals is quite obvious.

    Bai Zhou silently calculated in his heart that it was not time to close the net yet, so he would temporarily let the scout flies fly around for a while longer.
