Volume 3: Stormy France Chapter 121: The Beginning

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The first night that Viscount Dahal came to the Belfort Mountains was destined to be an unsettling night.

    It¡¯s not that the Western Qin people made a sneak attack at night, although Bai Zhou didn¡¯t want to have such an opportunity to sneak into the camp at night.  Viscount Kodahar's camp was very organized. Several checkpoints covered each other and there were no blind spots at all. This was even when Bai Zhou didn't know whether they had set up hidden posts.

    But it is conceivable that as long as a large coalition force appears, the Burgundy checkpoint is fully capable of notifying the soldiers resting in the camp as soon as possible.

    Several patrols kept wandering around the camp, making the small attack by the coalition forces a fantasy, unless they could not care about life and death or consider retreat.  But the input and output of doing so were hardly proportional, so Bai Zhou also gave up the idea.

    But as the old saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you.  Presumably Viscount Dahal also understood this, so he was so careful and cautious. Moreover, he also ordered the soldiers to all sleep with their clothes on, and their weapons should be placed next to their pillows.

    "Fuck it! It's like a big turtle shell." In the dark night, Luka spat and cursed.

    Originally, only Bai Zhou and Wolfgang were waiting in this direction, but now that they know that the opponent enters Belfort from this mountain pass, naturally all the coalition ambush troops began to rush here.

    On the Western Qin side, Meng Shan temporarily stayed in Basel and was considered to be in charge of the central army; Wei Fu has returned to Bern. After all, the nominal and spiritual capital of Switzerland must now remain stable; Meng Ge, Meng Zhi, and Wang Xiaobao are still here.  Everyone has their own tasks and is not with Bai Zhou.  As for Joan of Arc, due to her special status and the fact that she had no troops that could directly serve her, she stayed in Basel.

    Furthermore, in order to prevent the Grand Duke of Burgundy from sending more than one rescue force, all other mountain roads were patrolled by coalition scouts.

    The current situation is that Viscount Dahal will not delay, because the purpose of his trip is to rescue Claude, and he has a close relationship with Claude, so he will not work without effort. Presumably he will also  It is clear that with Claude, one more hour of delay will be one more hour of danger; and the coalition forces have no time to waste time with the Burgundians, because counting the time, in less than two days, the Burgundians will  The troops have just arrived here. At that time, the coalition forces can only temporarily avoid its edge, instead of choosing to take the risk of pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth and eating this part of the cavalry - if all the troops present can execute it without any compromise.  There is no way Bai Zhou will try Bai Zhou's order, but in this situation, Bai Zhou will naturally not choose too risky tactics.

    Therefore, there is not much time left for the coalition forces.

    The place where Dahal chose to camp was surrounded by steep peaks on both sides, with a slope angle of at least 70 degrees. Large troops could not climb up at all, which became his best barrier; in front of him was a narrow mountain pass, just  There is a five or six meter wide path passing through, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack; and the retreat route in the rear is relatively wide, making it very difficult for the coalition forces to block their retreat even if they want to.  (In other words, the two mountains formed the shape of an "eight", and the Burgundians set up camp in the middle of this "eight" shape)

    "The Belfort Mountains, this terrain was originally said to be conducive to the coalition forces to cool off and lay ambushes, and it is also their home field, so they should have taken advantage of the location.  But nature will not favor any force after all. Now the Burgundy side can obviously make good use of the terrain, so that the coalition forces can only think about it and cannot take any substantive actions.

    "It seems that we can only choose to attack by force." Fein's face, under the shining of candlelight, was bright and dark, "Let them walk for half a day tomorrow. There is a fairly wide place ahead with only one road.  The creek runs through there, and although it is still not conducive to us deploying a large force, it can also better limit their horse speed."

    After all, Fein was an old man. Although some coalition scouts drew maps of the surrounding terrain and handed them to the generals, Fein still went to investigate in person.  Generally speaking, it is not necessary for him to do this, and it can only waste time, because the Belfort Mountains are so large that it is impossible to fully explore them in a short time by oneself.  But now it seems that it also reflects the benefits of what he did. After all, ordinary scouts do not have any tactical vision. They will only roughly describe the terrain they have discovered and submit it to their superiors. However, Finn,  As a general, depending on his position, he can naturally clearly see which place is conducive to a decisive battle and which place is conducive to an ambush.

    This is also Fien's luck. When I met such a place, I just used it.

    Bai Zhou ran his fingers across the map and found the place Fein mentioned. After thinking for a long time, he took out several maps of this place drawn by different scouts for comparison, and then said: "This place is a good place.  However, from where they camped,There are still three or four forked roads to get to this place, and we cannot help the Burgundians make a choice.  "

    "However, we can send a small force to lure them." Ilya continued, "Or let them think that they can find their trapped companions by walking this way."

    Bai Zhou glanced at Ilya, then looked at the others, and found that except for Wolfgang and Catalano, the expressions of everyone else vaguely expressed agreement.

    Bai Zhou sighed slightly in his heart and shook his head, "This place is indeed suitable for a decisive battle, but in other words, our large army cannot hide here at all. After this day, you must have seen that our opponent  He is very cautious. Even if we send a small force to fake defeat, he will at most only send a small force to pursue us first. But once he discovers our large force waiting here, unless he also wants to fight us here, otherwise,  The terrain here determines that we can¡¯t keep them at all.¡±

    "Then what should we do?" Fiora asked.  She originally thought that the advice given by the Germans was very reliable, but after hearing what she said, she found that her thinking was too simple.  The Burgundians are not puppets on strings, how can they honestly follow their own arrangements?

    And now, what can be done?  Fiora's military attainments are actually pitifully low, but this does not prevent her from accepting the right decision - in her heart, Bai Zhou is always right.

    I have to say, sometimes, this kind of woman is so cute and so considerate.

    "There is a way, but we have to make a careful calculation now. This plan requires the cooperation of all of us." Bai Zhou looked at Fiora and couldn't help but smile.
