After the meeting on July 1, 922, Lin Fenghan's order was sent to the towns and cities in the territory of the Elantes country. Numerous troops and later materials were mobilized. All the soldiers received the real instructions and said goodbye to their families one after another, preparing for their respective missions. They collected supplies and gathered in various predetermined areas with the encouragement of their family members.
In the luxurious palace of Kelsier City, the capital of King Dambreth in the north, Lethamon looked at the information in his hand solemnly and asked Prime Minister Plantu: "Prime Minister, what do you think of this matter?"
"The lions of Elantra can no longer bear it. After more than three months of silence, they are ready to take action." Plantu said with a solemn expression, stroking his beard.
"damn it."
Lighthamon slapped the table and said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that the southern region of Dambreth Kingdom and the northern region are separated by an inland sea, I would have summoned all the troops from across the country to fight all the way over to avenge my child."
Lighthamon stopped angrily, looked at the map and suddenly said: "Prime Minister, we have now manufactured more than fifty bronze cannons and more than fifty large battleships. How about we send troops while Yiliuyun is here?" When attacking the western region, attack their capital, Haisha City.¡±
"No!"
Plantu quickly raised his hand to stop him and said: "Your Majesty the King, you have to calm down. The last time we captured Haisha City was because their main fleet left. This time Yiliuyun has learned the lesson from last time. No matter what, their main fleet will not They will not leave the inner sea of ??Dancing Bay. With the strong combat effectiveness and strong momentum of their main fleet, our newly formed fleet is no match for them at all! Let alone transporting troops across the sea."
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Lighthamon took a breath and said angrily: "I'm just a little angry. In short, I think this time they sent most of their troops to fight, and the territory must be empty. I don't want to miss this opportunity, so I think we should do Order something.¡±
¡°You can¡¯t get excited!¡±
Plantu explained anxiously: "Your Majesty the King. At present, we have summoned nobles from all over the country to prepare for war. Whether they are nobles loyal to the royal family, nobles from various aristocratic families, or nobles in border areas, they are all gearing up. Training the army and preparing military pay, the number of troops initially gathered has reached 150,000. At present, all parts of the country are frantically building weapons, training soldiers, and preparing to seize glory and territory. And our royal family occupies the largest share in the preparations for this battle. responsibility. We must ensure that our fleet can defeat the Elantes fleet, so that the nobles across the country can smoothly use our warships to go south to attack Elantes. Therefore, our main task at present is to concentrate on development, gather troops, accumulate warships, and rely on quantity Defeat the Elantes fleet with superiority, allowing our army to move south across the sea. Capture Elantes."
"Why!"
Lighthamon nodded slightly, rubbed his eyes and said: "Prime Minister, I know everything you said, but I just can't help it! Tell me, now we give priority to developing the navy and manufacturing warships. Can the armed fleet really do that? Defeat Elantes¡¯ fleet?¡±
Plantu¡¯s eyes narrowed. He raised his chest seriously and said proudly: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Our royal family controls three to four million square kilometers of land in the northern continent and has a population of three to four million. Such a huge strength is several times that of the southern region. Part 1 After a failed naval battle, we listened to the battle report from the battleship captain and the navy general and sailors. It can be easily seen that the first reason why Elantes' fleet won was because of the kamikaze ships. The second reason was because their battleships had more guns than us. The range is farther than ours. Third, it¡¯s because our formation is a bit dense. As long as we overcome these shortcomings, it will be easy to defeat the Elantes fleet.¡±
"You know, the dozens of cities and towns on our northern coast, all kinds of timber, mineral deposits, shipyards, and the population are nearly ten times that of Elantes. Compared with our fleet, their fleet may have a little more experience and morale. A little higher, and each warship¡¯s individual strength will be a little higher, but that¡¯s not important.¡±
Plantu said proudly: "Elantes has one battleship, so we will build two large battleships. They have fifty large battleships, and we will build a hundred large battleships. As long as we have the advantage in quantity, our warships will be better in quality." It won¡¯t be much lower than the Elantes battleship, so sooner or later we can defeat those arrogant Elantes battleship sailors.¡±
"good!"
Lighthamon calmed down his confidence, clapped his hands and smiled and said: "The Prime Minister is right. As long as we have the numerical advantage, two ships will fight one ship, three warships will fight one warship, sooner or later we will be able to defeat the Elantes Navy. Although we can't do it now. It¡¯s okay to attack Elantes directly, but make it a little more difficult for them.¡±
Lethamon said with a bad smile: "I will write to Duke Brant and Earl La Mille right now, asking them to unite with all sincerity, and at the same time, let the territories close to Duke Brant be transported by sea from the western part of the kingdom's inland sea. Deliver food, weapons and supplies to the two forces. At the same time, order all the lords and nobles in the western region of the Southern Continent to send troops to gather together to resist Ilantes' troops."
"Your Majesty is so smart! This time we have stirred up the situation and allowed the nobles in the entire southern region to resist Yilantis, which will definitely put Yiliuyun into difficulty. As long as these southern nobles can hold back Yiliuyun, then wait for us In October, all kinds of warship materials will be prepared and the army will be trained, then Yi Liuyun¡¯s death will come.¡± Plantu clapped his hands happily.
"Ha ha!"
Wright Harmon laughed when he heard this.
At the same time, similar meetings were continuing in the main castle of Duke Brant. Duke Brandt stood in the government hall, frowning at the information in his hand, scanning the people below and asked: "Yi Liuyun's son issued an army mobilization order, and the army and people in towns across Elantes mobilized, and various supplies were sent to The western front is moving closer and is concentrated in Shenmu City, Takojian Fortress, and Tamira City. What do you think of this?"
"This little guy has been silent for so long and now he can't bear it anymore. In my opinion, he will definitely lead the army south to attack Count Ramis. We pretend not to care now and gather our troops secretly until Yiliuyun attacks Count Ramiller. At that time, we led the army to climb over the Vico Mountains, fight towards the city of Tamira and the Tacojian fortress, and capture their territory. We expelled the farmers in the territory and destroyed their economic situation. Then, according to the situation, we gathered the main force and headed south into the forest. In Weishan District, defeat the main force of Yiliu Yun and recapture Shenmu City." General Kefla listened to the information and looked at the map and said Yin Yin.
"Um!"
"That makes sense!"
General Bumisxiu shook his head in confusion. Ever since he was defeated by Yiliu Yun, he had been collecting Elant's battle reports and studying military knowledge seriously. After being affirmed by Duke Brant, he now stood in the Brant family general council again. At this time, he frowned and said: "What General Kefla said makes sense, but Yi Liuyun will never be easily fooled. We must Proper arrangements must be made in the border areas so that Yi Liuyun will not see any flaws. We will then take the opportunity to take a big bite of Elantes' flesh. Then we will defend in the city according to the situation, steadily seize the land step by step, and defeat Follow the rhyme.¡±
"General Bumisio is thoughtful and cautious in his strategy. I support him."
"Yeah! That's right. Facing a fierce general like Yi Liuyun, we can only use a strong attitude to wear down the spirit in his heart, and then defeat him." Sir Karufu said, stroking his beard gently.
"good!"
Duke Brant nodded with a smile and said seriously: "What everyone said makes sense. In this case, we will make arrangements now, and then decide whether to attack or defend based on the development of the situation."
"Compared with the king and Duke Brant, Count Ramiller has been terribly sad recently. In the council hall of the Lord's Palace of Ramis City, Count Ramiler looked at the generals and officials gathered around him. He took out the white paper in his hand and said to everyone: "Our neighbor in the east, Yiliuyun, has established his country. He heard that The head of state who said he had done something nagging has a status similar to that of a king. Now he is very dissatisfied with his country. He has issued a war mobilization order to the Elantes region the day before and is mobilizing his troops and supplies to move towards the western border. What are you doing? Treat it?"
Looking at the white paper on the table, the sharp-eyed official whispered: "Isn't this the white paper that Illantes recently sold? How come our lord also uses items from hostile forces?"
"This white paper is very good, and it is very convenient to write on. Yiliuyun not only invented white paper. He also invented the brush and the pencil. These things are very popular in the market. There are many craftsmen in our city. How much does it cost to sell fake brushes?¡±
"Really? This Yi Liuyun is not only an excellent general. He is also an outstanding craftsman and inventor!" Several mayors and mayors in their thirties and forties were talking about it.
General Palaris coughed twice, and everyone who was discussing foreign affairs finally stopped. Palaris looked at Count Ramiler, who looked a little ugly, and said: "There are several major forces in the kingdom at present, and there are several most powerful ones in the southern continent. Strong, because the land territory of Elantes is close to us and Duke Brant, and Duke Brant is powerful, and his fleet transports troops and soldiers to his subordinate fiefs from time to time, so our territory is among these major territories. It seems to be the weakest among the forces. Yi Liuyun¡¯s biggest target this time when he sends troops is definitely us.¡±
"ah!"
"So dangerous!"
¡°This is too difficultAre you okay with it? Why did you hit us first? "
"yes!"
Another noble general, Cheerst, said: "The count and others, General Palaris is right. This time Elantes mobilizes the army, we have to fight with the Elantes no matter what. This time The battle will never cease. The only thing we can do is to consider where this battle will be fought? In which area will it take place? We must make arrangements in advance so that we can prepare more and use our greater strength."
"Why!"
Count Ramiller lowered his head with a frown on his face, and said with difficulty: "This battle must have taken place in the area around the Senvi Mountains, because the terrain here is condescending and the Elante people can easily go down the mountain. In the north, the Vico Mountains blocked the large-scale attack of both sides. War, so we must prepare in advance and bring together the army of Duke Brant, our northern ally."
"Um!"
Palaris cheered up and said: "For battles in mountainous areas, we will prepare more infantry and various horse-repelling equipment. At the same time, we will send more soldiers to the bunker to the east of us to monitor the situation. If the Elante people come forward If they come to attack, we will fight a war of attrition with them. If they dare to retreat, the soldiers inside our bunkers will go out to block their logistics. At the same time, our infantry come from plain areas, so their combat effectiveness against mountainous terrain must not be as good as that of the Elantes, so we The Allies must be invited to fight on the plains.¡±
"Um!"
Cheerst said with gleaming eyes: "We can use the fortress soldiers and various mountain towns and areas to consume the energy of the Elante people, and incidentally detect their intelligence and marching routes, and then mix with the allied forces to the north of us, waiting for us to have With the advantage of numbers, we can lure the enemy deep into the enemy and launch a sudden counterattack. This way we can repel the Elantians or even defeat them."
"Yes!"
Palaris looked at Cheerst with admiration and said: "So our current main task is to build fortresses in our frontline territories, mountains, and plains, and at the same time send troops to garrison the fortresses of knights and nobles in various mountainous areas, so that these People came to consume the Elante soldiers, and eventually there was a stalemate. They would retreat naturally when they ran out of food. If the situation improves, part of their army can be eliminated."
"Yes!"
Count Lamilee nodded seriously, looked at everyone seriously and said: "Since Yiliuyun has issued a nationwide mobilization order, I will not be polite. From now on, I will issue a general mobilization order to the entire territory, ordering the seals everywhere. The nobles led the infantry and gathered towards the city of Ramis."
"yes!"
"yes!"
"good!"
¡¡
July 5th. Lin Fenghan, who had just arrived at Shenmu City along the road, heard the news from all sides. His body was shaken for a moment. He looked at Colander and others passing by and asked: "Now Duke Brant and Earl Ramis Everyone has discovered our actions, especially Count Ramis, who has desperately recruited an army, and I heard that the number is no less than 40,000. And the vassals of the Duke of Brant in the northern region have also mobilized knights and soldiers to strengthen the areas bordering our territory. defense, and according to the intelligence obtained by our spies, their nobles are quietly gathering elite troops to assemble towards the Slmo Fortress near the west of Steva City and Takojian Fortress. What do you think?"
Ramsay and others quickly pulled up more than a dozen pieces of information on the table and looked at it. After a while, they said to Lin Fenghan with a solemn expression: "Baron, Count Lamiere is really smart. He can see it straightforwardly. We are ready to attack him. At present, they have sent many troops to the front areas bordering our territory to dig tunnels and enter their roads, towns, villages, and castles in the countryside to store supplies and prepare to defend."
"Um!"
Ma Youdun looked at the information and continued to say seriously: "Duke Brandt in the north is also uneasy. He actually placed his army in the Stewa town area in the north of our Shenmu City area. If we send troops directly to the west to attack Tarami now, After Count Le, their army in Stewa City can choose to go south to attack Shenmu City and cut off our logistics roads, or they can go east and attack the urban area of ????Tamila and destroy our rural towns."
Corland looked at Lin Fenghan solemnly and said: "The most important thing is that Duke Brant has transported many troops to the southern region in the past few months, including the Slmo Fortress and the town of Steva. I don¡¯t know how many troops can be hidden in the region?¡±
Davout put his finger on his lips and said calmly: "The territory of Count La Mille covers an area of ??60,000 to 70,000 square kilometers. With a population of 300,000 to 400,000 people, he can spare one-tenth of the total number of mature men to serve as militia troops. And the armies of Duke Brant's vassals in the northern region should not be lower than this number.At least 20,000 more. "
Rana then frowned and said: "So the total number of armed soldiers we face may reach 100,000. Although most of them are recruits who have been trained for three or four months, we still cannot underestimate it and must do a good job. Careful reconnaissance and deployment can lead to war."
Lin Fenghan stood there silently, lowered his head and looked at the map on the table in the hall carefully, picked up the chalk to mark one special fortress and city after another, and after five or six minutes, he slowly said: "We have a defense system in the northern region. With the Vico Mountains as cover, as long as 10 infantry regiments with 10,000 troops are deployed along the roads, nodes, villages and towns of the Vico Mountains using the Tacojen Fortress as a node, we can defend for one or two months based on natural dangers. Next, we will The small town of Slassos at the junction of the Vico Mountains and the Senvi Mountains has left enough troops to contain the infantry of Duke Brandt in the nearby town of Stevan, so that they dare not mobilize their troops at will. At this time, the main army of our Shenmu City is here After preparing food and logistics supplies, we quickly attacked along the coast, and cooperated with the navy to attack the city of Ramis, Count Lamie's main city. Taking advantage of the situation, the navy mobilized two marine regiments to continue the coastal attack, while our main army force was Quickly go north, cooperate with our army in the town of Slassos to attack Duke Brant's Steva area, defeat the army here and sweep across their territory in the north. Immediately afterwards, our army in the Takjian Fortress also moved west advance in the area, the Northern Navy quickly mobilized to attack the towns on the northern coast of Duke Brant's southern continent, block the ocean routes, and let our troops set off from three sides to complete a strategic encirclement, thus annihilating Duke Brant's southern continent at once. All the main forces."
"good!"
"very good!"
"The Baron is truly the most brilliant commander in the Kingdom of Dambreth. He is so smart."
"I admire you!"
??Everyone looked at him with admiration, surprise, and admiration.
