Chapter 563 Tactical Analysis and Task Assignment

"... Our scouts reported that the Clyde Corps and the Jessica Corps were working with local guards in Federcansi and Benguela counties along the southern coast, as well as territory nobles and local officials, Take your family to West Colwalk County ... "Colonel Bokal drew a red route for his transfer on a map hanging on the wall.

"How many men and women do they have?" Asked Avitre I of the Kingdom of Breot.

Colonel Bokal glanced at the folder in his hand: "The two standing army groups have more than 136,000 troops and local defense forces, and there are about four troops with about 20,000 troops. And those who leave together The local officials and relatives of the territory ’s nobles, and the southern residents who followed them, added up to nearly 200,000 people. We estimate that their destination should be the four counties of the Northwest Highlands, which is the Grand Duke of the Hicks Kingdom. The domain of Duke Pillag H. Ferriot ... "

"Duke Pillag Hieliotte? This name is a little familiar ..." Crowder asked, thinking: "The four counties of the Northwest Highlands are the territory of this duke? Then his power is in Greece. Kingdom should be second to none ... "

"Mr. Marshal, this Duke Pillag H. Feriot is indeed your acquaintance." Colonel Bokal laughed. "In the Second Eastern War, he served as the Supreme Commander and Commander in Chief of the Alliance. Officer. In the latter part of the Battle of Polynesia, he saw the situation was not good, forcibly seized more than 80,000 war horses placed in the camp by the three divisions of the Principality of Kanas, along with all the four-wheeled carriages, and took ten The wounded and disabled soldiers of Dowan Hicks fled back to the Hicks Kingdom. They fled because they did not fight. After returning, he was deprived of the rank of Marshal by McKid III ...

Duke Pillag Hieliot has a high prestige in the Hicks kingdom. The four counties in the Northwest Highlands, except for Wilmouth, are his family territory. The other three counties are from the hands of the Highland barbarians. Captured here. Because these three counties were often attacked by the Highland Barbarians, King Hicks was unable to directly administer or consign the three counties to other territories, and had no choice but to deliver them to Duke Pillag H. Feriot. The trusteeship, and even the four counties of the Northwest Highlands, became the sphere of influence of the Feriot family.

The Generals of the Clyde and Jessica regiments, General Homens and General Torimoc, were both subordinates of Duke Pillag H. Ferriot during the Second Eastern War, and served under his command. . The two generals were wounded when Duke Pillag Hieliot led his team to evacuate and returned, and an **** responsible for logistics and heavy goods returned to the Hicks Kingdom with Duke Feriot.

Because Duke Pillag Hieliot had assumed the crime of fleeing without war, the subordinates and the two generals who followed him had not been punished for the implication. They are grateful to Duke Ferriot, and this is the main reason why our MI judged the Clyde Army and Jessica Army as their destinations in the four counties of the Northwest Highlands ... "

"Can we stop them?" Avitelle I asked.

Colonel Bokal looked at Avitelle I, and was a little bit embarrassed: "If you can let the Thunder Corps chase them, you can delay their journey and force them to find a place to hold on, and then wait for the three Breot Mountains The legions came to siege them, and then launched an attack. We need to pay a certain amount of casualties to surround the two legions and the teams that followed them.

But the problem is that if we all chase them, we give Hicks another four standing legions to take advantage of it. If these four standing legions learn that we are going to chase the Clyde Legion and Jessica Legion, then surely Will send troops to attack Wang Jing ... "

"Let them go." Claude looked at the map and said, "Since they leave the battlefield, then we can ignore this team. Their departure actually helped us reduce the enemies we face. Colonel Bokal, you talk about it The rest of the four Hicks standing corps. "

"Yes, Your Excellency, Marshal." Colonel Bokal opened a new page in the folder, and since Claude had already made a decision, there was no need to entangle the whereabouts of the two Hicks regiments. I have to admit that the generals of General Clyde and Jessica, General Homens and General Torimoc, were very clever and they chose a way to survive.

"The Buckler and Bruce regiments are currently stationed in Skvia County, adjacent to Dartmouth County. They are two days behind the Solem Standing Legion. It is speculated that the two Hicks Standing Legions should have received Wang Jing rushed back after sending a message for help, but when they arrived in Skvia County, they received the news that the Solem Standing Legion was completely wiped out, and Wang Jing was captured by the capture of the death of McKid III, and ended up in a dilemma.

The head of the Barek Regiment is the third son of Mykid III, His Highness Mondocaro Da Hicks, Lieutenant General of the Kingdom. He is said to be the most talented prince among the 19 children of McKid III. He has participated in the war to suppress the aristocratic rebellion in the territories. He has been brutally murdered. His favorite is to burn the captives to death. . Because of this, he has a bad reputation in the Hicks Kingdom Army, and many officers believe that he has no kingliness and style.

The Bruce Corps is headed by the Marquis of Wiesingbad, Major General of the Kingdom. He was a foreigner to the Hicks family, and his aunt married Prince Selheim, brother of McKid III, and became the prince. With this relationship, Marquis Wiesingbad flew Huang Tengda in the Hicks Army, and soon he was promoted to Major General, becoming the head of the Bruce Standing Army. This man's performance in the army was unremarkable. The only advantage was that he was obedient and acted in accordance with the instructions of his superiors.

At present, the Buckler Army and the Bruce Army are camping in Skvia County, convening reserve corps in the surrounding counties, and collecting local supplies such as grain and grass. Today, three reserve corps have arrived at their camps, and it is estimated that the combined strength has reached about 350,000. According to the confession of our captured messenger, His Highness Mondocaro Da Hicks also asked the Clyde Army and the Jessica Army, as well as the two standing regiments stationed in the Manoli Plains, to gather ... . "

Colonel Bokal clicked with his finger on the route on the map to the west of the Clyde Army and the Jessica Army: "Obviously, the two Army Corps refused to obey His Royal Highness Mendocaro Da Hicks. The order, but found a way of life for himself, to avoid fighting with us. As for the two standing corps, Dahli and Falklin, stationed in the Manoli Plain, they did not obey the prince's call Order, but a defensive position was built at the mountain entrance outside Port Patkala, and it seemed to be held up ... "

Avitelli I interjected: "The Dahli Standing Regiment is a local legion in the three counties of the Plain of Manori. Most of the officers and men are recruited locally. Seriously, they should be people of our Kingdom of Breot. Only However, the three Manouri counties have been forcibly seized by the Hicks Kingdom for more than thirty years, and they do not know that the people here also admit that they are not ours ... "

Claude looked at some of the lost Avitre I and comforted him: "I believe those older people will remember the Hicks Kingdom forcibly occupying the three Manouri counties. You said then that the Manoline Plains The resistance was fierce. The occupation forces of the Hicks Kingdom killed many people here. This hatred will not be easily forgotten.

You can see that the Dahli Army did not heed the call of that prince, but instead built a defensive position in the mountain pass. It can be seen that they did not want to fight for the Hicks Kingdom, but were prepared to guard their hometown. Maybe you can send a messenger to contact them, maybe they will be happy to return to the embrace of their motherland. "

Avitele I nodded slowly after thinking about it: "Okay, I'll send someone to talk to them. If they are willing to accept peace anyway, it would be better."

"Then we only need to deal with the army convened by the prince of this Hicks kingdom assembled in Skvia County, 350,000 horses, two standing corps and three reserve corps." Crowd Station He stood up and looked at the map: "Colonel Bokal, tell me about the county."

"Yes, Lord Marshal." Colonel Bokal signaled his men to hang a detailed map of Skvia County on the wall: "Skvia County is a hilly and plain terrain, with two main river channels, a total of three cities and eight Sixty-eight villages in the town are under the jurisdiction of the Hicks family, with a total population of about 740,000 people. The capital city of Scannamo is located on the banks of the Glow River, and is currently the prince of Monte Carlo Da Hick. His Royal Highness's base camp.

At present, the Barek Regiment of His Royal Highness Prince Mundo Carlo Da Hicks is deployed in the capital city of Scannamo, and a defensive front is set up relying on the Glow River. The Marquis of the Marquis of Wiesingbad was placed in the Hidpass Mountain town in the Turner Changlin Mountains, and was connected to the Glow River. Between these two points, there is the town of Cheber, where a reserve army from Caddames County is stationed.

There are four towns in front of this defensive front. The Reedleshire County Reserve Corps was dismantled and stationed in these four towns. It is estimated that His Royal Highness Prince Mundo Carlo Da Hicks was responsible for the Reedleshire County Reserve Act as a front line of warning and a forward base. It's just that the other four standing legions did not respond to his summons order, so that he could only turn to defend, and did not dare to march to Dartmouth County, which is guarded by our Thunder Legion ...

Behind this line of defense set by His Highness Prince Mundo Carlo Da Hicks, there is also the city of Langres, which has now become the general logistic base for more than 300,000 horses. The Reserve Corps from Sudakbo County is responsible for guarding the city and collecting on-site supplies such as grain and grass. According to the testimony of the enemy soldiers captured by the Thunder Corps, it is likely that within the next half month, two reserve corps will come to reinforce them, one from Rumwar Yorkshire and one from Dlinksink. "

After introducing the simple situation, Colonel Bokal asked his men to label the cities and towns on the map with the garrison troops confessed by the captives. Claude looked at the map, shook his head with a smile, and turned to the senior officers sitting in the tent. His Royal Highness is not an experienced and outstanding military general ... "

Claude pointed to Scandinavia, the capital of Skvia County on the map: "General Belklin, if you are a guardian, how would you arrange this Scandinavian city to Cheber, To the defensive front of Hidden Pass? "

General Thunder Chief of the Thunder Corps, General Belklin, is the leader of the Thunder's First and Second Division, posing as General Baker, the first mountain corps of the Kingdom of Breot. He successfully fooled the officials of the Hicks Kingdom who had escorted him, brought a division of the First Mountain Corps of the Kingdom of Breot and the first and second divisions of the Thunder Corps to Dartmouth, and then collected forage on site Materials, Hicks officials escorted to death, made Dartmouth County restless.

Because of his excellent performance, the high level of the Hicks Kingdom did not realize that there was any abnormal situation. They only thought that the Breaux Mountain Corps raised the banner of rebellion because of the demanding logistics supplies, so they pushed for Soleil with all their heart. The U.S. Army quickly came to counterinsurgency, killing the mountain monkey army who dared to plunder the local county around Hicks King ...

So the Solem Army Corps rushed to the march did not care about conducting pre-war reconnaissance or something, and slammed into the defensive iron plate that had been waiting for a long time and was waiting to work, and felt bad after suffering severe bloodshed and casualties. It ’s just that it has no chance to regret it. The next morning, General Belklin commanded the Thunder ’s first and second divisions to carry out counterattacks from the left and right sides. In the first battle, the Hicks standing army who had not had time to build the camp ’s protection was wiped out. group.

Naturally, General Belklin knew that Claude asked him to assess his vision and military common sense. He walked over to the map and carefully examined the layout of the defensive front. He answered with a clear answer: "If I were a defensive commander If so, I will put the focus of defense in the town of Cheber, which is the center of this defensive front. I really do n’t understand why His Royal Highness deployed his standing army in Scandinamo, the capital. If Cheber If the town is captured, unless he retreats from the Glow River, his Barek legion is dead .... "

"The Glow River has an average width of fifty to sixty meters, the largest width is more than two hundred meters, and the basic water depth is seven to twelve meters. It is the largest river in Skvia County. The glow river that surrounds the capital Scandinamo It is the widest river, with a width of more than 100 meters to more than 200 meters, and it is also called Glow Lake. The river is calm and waveless, like a mirror. When the rising sun rises in the east and the sunset goes west, the glow The reflection of the light river and the setting sun are known as the beauty of the glow and shadow. "

Colonel Bokal has turned the folder in his hand to the information page about the Glow River: "Basically the Glow River takes a ferry and there is no bridge. There are only two ferry terminals in the capital city of Scannamo, each with Two ferry flat boats, using poles and rowing, take about an hour and a half, and each flat ferry can carry more than 50 people across the river at one time. There are also 32 small fishing boats for fishing , Each fishing boat can carry up to five to eight people ... "

General Belklin nodded to Colonel Bokal: "The Barek Legion was deployed in the capital Scandinamo, and no pontoon bridge was set up on the Glow River. Then we only need to capture the town of Cheber and seal the capital Scandina The overpass on Mocheng, and then deployed a regiment of troops on the other side of the Glow River, then the **** prince could not escape.

If I were to arrange this line of defense, the focus of the defense would be on the town of Cheber, and the capitals of Scandinamo on both sides and this mountain of Hidpass need only arrange a reserve army defense. Both standing regiments are located in the town of Cheber, one in front and the other in the back, for quick and easy reinforcement, so that they can at least withstand our attack for more than a month ... "

"What would you arrange for the defense of the first four towns?" Claude asked.

"No arrangements are needed." General Belklin replied: "Retreat all townspeople and defensive forces directly, and clear the wild walls. Even the villagers and villagers in the front are also moved to the rear. It is best to burn the towns and villages in front. It ’s empty so that the enemy ca n’t take advantage of any available cheapness. Only by setting up camps in the wild can you get a rest ... ”

Claude laughed: "The answer is good, but the reason why the enemy has not been clear and clear is because they still have the illusion of regaining King Jingsheng Hiprian, so they deployed guards in the towns in front of the line of defense to wait for their strength Sufficient and good timing can be used as a forward supply base when launching a counterattack. Now that you know the weakness of the enemy's defensive front, how to attack the enemy is left to your Thunder Corps.

You and Diavid led the four divisions of the Thunder Corps. The Reeds County Reserve Corps, which guarded the four towns in front, the Caddames County Reserve Corps, which was stationed in Cheber Town, and the blue army in the rear. The Thadkerbore Reserve Corps in Grace City cleaned me up. As for the Bruce Regiment in Hidden Pass and the Barek Regiment in Scandinavian capital, you only need to trap them in two cities, and you are not allowed to attack the city without causing unnecessary injuries. ? "

General Belklin and General Diavid stood up saluting together: "Once, Lord Marshal, we understand what to do."

Seeing General Belklin and General Diavid with senior officers of the Thunder Corps four divisions flexing their muscles to exit the camp ready to execute Crowd's order, Avitelle I on the side was anxious: " Marshal Claude, you have to arrange some missions for the three Mountain Legions of the Kingdom of Breot. You ca n’t let them just watch your Thunder Legion do their work? ”

Claude smiled and waved his hand: "My friend, you don't need to worry, there is a time for your braoit kingdom warriors to show their talents. The Thunder Corps is a light riding legion, fast maneuvering, and their assault is their specialty. You see The mountain town of Hidpass, guarded by the Bruce Corps, is in a hilly area, which is suitable for the terrain of your Mountain Corps. I leave this mountain city for you to attack, I believe you will win it soon ... "
