For Viscount Dahal, this is no longer a question of whether to rescue Claude, but a question of how to completely bring his troops out of the Belfort Mountains.
"If we were the enemy, Dahar would definitely consider whether to fight, because he still believed in the combat effectiveness of the five thousand elite cavalry he led. But the current situation is that I have an open enemy and I rush to rescue Claude. That is not Dahal's style. After all, it is obvious that if we continue to go deep into Belfort, the final result will be that no one is rescued. And these troops of his own were all destroyed, and they were all destroyed and were worthless.
Moreover, Duke John did not issue a death order to rescue Claude with all his strength. Instead, he added at the end that if nothing could be done, he would instead attract the attention of the people of Xiqin, thereby paving the way for Claude's escape. provide help. Of course, Dahar knew in his heart, and presumably the Duke also knew that the role of this "side help" should be almost zero, but the words in the scene must be said in a more beautiful way, and you cannot say "If you can't save it, don't care." Claude¡¯s life and death.¡±
Therefore, Dahal understands what the Duke means. If Claude can be rescued, then no matter how heavy the loss of the five thousand soldiers is, it is still acceptable. This is not only because Claude is a talent, but more importantly, it allows other people to The nobles, big and small, saw that the Duke would not give up any Burgundian general for nothing.
After all, there were two unlucky guys, P¨¦tain and Dassault, to set the stage - the people of Western Qin came to discuss the ransom issue "quite sincerely", but in the end they broke up on bad terms and lost Joan of Arc (although everyone I knew in my heart that ninety-nine percent of the trouble was caused by the West Qin people, but to catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, the West Qin people would not admit it so easily if they did not catch the West Qin people at the scene), which led some nobles to think that this was Archduke John. Use the hands of enemies to eradicate dissidents and weaken the strength of the nobles.
Archduke John himself was in trouble. He was actually very optimistic about P¨¦tain and Dassault, the two more loyal guard dogs, and he certainly couldn't let his nobles think that he was such a villain. Therefore, the order to rescue Claude this time was a huge investment.
"However, if you still try your best to save Claude knowing that he will die, this is obviously not in line with the wishes of the Grand Duke. The cautious Dahal will not do this even if he and Claude are good friends.
Therefore, he chose to lead all the troops at dawn and prepare to withdraw from the Belfort Mountains.
And now, Bai Zhou is like scaring a rabbit, trying to keep the rabbit's nerves tight until they break. Seeing the rabbit walking step by step now is naturally not what Bai Zhou wants to see, nor is it what other generals in the coalition want to see.
"Xiaobao, now you go and capture all the Burgundians who are still resisting. Remember, try to capture them alive." Bai Zhou believes that it is time to capture those who are still on the peaks of Belfort. It's time for the Burgundians to hold on. Their positive value to the coalition is gone. Keeping them here may have counter-effects. Moreover, the most important thing is that since the Burgundians sent such a "mighty" army, five thousand people, all cavalry, then there must be enough cavalry in the Belfort Mountains for the Grand Duke of Burgundy. Important people, otherwise, are just some small fish. Such input and output are not directly proportional - that Grand Duke is not a kind guy, and he will not do such a loss-making business.
Of course, at this time, Bai Zhou was not sure that Claude was actually that person.
"Yes, young master." Wang Xiaobao took the order.
"Okay, everyone." Bai Zhou clapped his hands and said to the other coalition generals, "Now that the rabbit has left the nest, it's up to you."
There is a sense of confidence in Bai Zhou¡¯s words. At the very least, Frank, Wolfgang, and Catalano sound confident.
After all, now that the layout is complete and the plan has been planned, Bai Zhou has no reason to be unconfident. Success or failure depends on God's will and his group of allies. If Bai Zhou doesn't show more confidence, then these allies will definitely have drums in their hearts. This is not what Bai Zhou wants to see.
"My troops are closest to them now. Otherwise, let my troops fight in this front line." Fiora spoke first.
Catalano was winking wildly here, and even Bai Zhou accidentally saw it, but Fiora acted as if she hadn't seen him and took the initiative to apply for this first battle.
In fact, the reason for Catalano's wink is very obvious - my eldest lady, the number of soldiers we brought is only 3,000, and most of them are new soldiers. This time the Burgundians and the Western Qin are fighting to the death. We can just lend a helping hand. After all, with our fighting capabilities, others won¡¯t have much hope in us. Even if we may need to fight later, it is not now.
CardLan Nuo meant this, not that he ignored the overall situation and did not know that they were in the same boat as the Western Qin people, but that he believed that there was no need to steal this "first achievement limelight", and it was not because they had the strength. Robbed.
¡°Speaking of which, Miss was such a shrewd person in the past. She always considered three steps before taking a step. How did she become like this now?
Poor Catalano is still single, and he is also a rare man who keeps his integrity. He has devoted his life to God. It is understandable that he does not understand Fiora's actions.
And the other generals of the coalition army all know more or less the relationship between this female noble and Bai Zhou. She was the first to take action, so naturally no one would say no. Moreover, logically speaking, it was Bai Zhou who represented Western Qin who proposed this suggestion, so naturally his troops had to be the first to try it.
Now there are not many troops around Bai Zhou. Almost all of the troops who assassinated the Burgundian scouts came from the Western Qin Dynasty. Wang Xiaobao just took away some of them. It can be said that Bai Zhou only has his personal guards left. He will definitely not be able to complete this task. A job of "catching rabbits". Then, it is acceptable for everyone to settle for the second best and let the troops of the Duke of Switzerland's "concubine" fight the first battle.
"Okay, since everyone has no objections, please ask Your Excellency Catalano to lead your troops to pursue the Burgundians from here." Bai Zhou pointed to a point on the map, facing Catalano said.
At this point, Catalano couldn't say anything more and had to take the order and leave - Fiora was not a general. Although all the troops were nominally commanded by her, in battle, she was not Joan of Arc. One who can ride a horse, wield a sword, and carry a flag.
Bai Zhou smiled at Fiora. In the eyes of others, this was nothing, it was normal. But Fiora and Bai Zhou understood what they were laughing at.
Everything is as Bai Zhou said last night - Bai Zhou went to Fiora specifically and asked her to take the initiative to launch the first wave of attacks tomorrow. Although Fiora didn't ask the reason because she thought Bai Zhou would not harm her, Bai Zhou still explained clearly to her that among all the battles tomorrow, only the first wave would be the easiest. At that time, the other generals within the coalition will not be the first to eat crabs, so no one will compete with Fiora. And Burgundy, facing the first wave of attacks, has not yet When they are at the end of their rope, what they will do is to detach some of their troops and passively defend in place to cover the retreat of the large forces, instead of being forced to turn around and bite back.
Of course, Bai Zhou did this to make Fiora's position in the coalition less embarrassing. After all, she led the troops with the smallest number and the worst combat effectiveness. Bai Zhou deliberately wanted to give her such an opportunity so that she could Speak up - Bai Zhou only needs to know this reason in his heart, and he will definitely not tell Fiorami.
Since Bai Zhou only found Fiora this time, Catalano didn't know that he accepted the order so reluctantly today.
"However, Bai Zhou believes that he is a general who knows the importance and will not be passive and slack on the battlefield.
