Chapter 738: Chapter 249: This Will Be a War of Liberation (10,000 Words) (3)

Lynn continued, "Speak freely."

"They have their experience and advantages in workshop production."

"But in marching and warfare, your ideas are still needed for reference."

At this point.

Rose stopped wasting words and spoke bluntly, "Master, I wasn’t present at Frank Manor during the last military aid."

"Therefore, I think it’s more appropriate for Wesley to offer his opinion."

Lynn still didn’t turn around and responded.

"Alright, Wesley, share your thoughts."

Wesley, standing next to Rose, had long brown straight hair tied up at the back of his head.

In his brown eyes, he seemed to be pondering.

Lynn did not press Wesley but let the night wind blow as he quietly waited.

After half a minute.

Wesley finally looked at Lynn and respectfully responded.

"Master, I believe your decision is correct."

"Just as you said earlier, Frank Manor controls the entire Morgan Town, acting recklessly."

"This is bound to affect the merchants coming to your territory later."

"This time, it’s about collecting various taxes from the Boer merchants, which might not have a significant impact."

"At least the transported goods have safely reached your territory."

"But next time, no one will know what consequences will arise!"

Turning around, Lynn nodded as Wesley spoke.

This was also one of his concerns.

If a Manor Lord or Lord observes the Great Lord’s laws and regulations.

Whether they are free people or traveling merchants, they can receive appropriate protection.

However.

Now, the entire Karedi Empire is about to face war.

The system established by the Karedi Empire or the Ducas Clan can hardly constrain or influence the Manor Lords and Lords.

All the regulations are nothing more than empty talk.

Wesley continued, "Master, rather than waiting for unknown situations to arise, causing adverse effects."

"It would be better to take the initiative and nip the danger in the bud."

"Moreover, during the last military aid to Frank Manor, I roughly observed Frank Manor’s castle."

"Their manor walls are not high, at most six meters with battlements."

"Apart from simple rolling wood and stones as defensive weapons, no arrow towers were built, nor any large-scale fortification equipment."

"Although Master, you currently have more soldiers than the combined forces of the Three Great Estates."

"But with the catapults and crossbow cannons you have now, attacking Frank Manor is not difficult!"

"However, in besieging a city, unavoidable soldier casualties will occur..."

Lynn murmured.

His gaze shifted to Rose, "Regarding siege, do you have any good strategies?"

Rose, who had been standing by listening, looked at Lynn and responded, "Master, whenever it comes to sieging, the attacking side is always at a disadvantage."

"Even if the enemy only has a five- or six-meter-high city wall, even if they only have simple rolling wood and stones."

"For the attackers, it’s a fatal blow!"

"Because as soldiers climb the cloud ladder, they must hold steady and keep balance to prevent falling from the shaking ladder."

"At the same time, they need to hold shields to defend against possible arrows or other ranged weapons."

"At this time, they can easily suffer heavy casualties."

"Therefore, to siege often requires several times more troops than the defenders."

"If it’s not absolutely necessary, my advice is not to engage in a siege!"

Wesley also nodded in agreement.

Seeing no further comment from Lynn, Rose tentatively asked, "Master, if possible, can we attack Frank Manor’s soldiers on an open plain?"

Lynn’s brow raised slightly, and he instantly thought of a strategy from the Thirty-Six Stratagems.

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

Hearing the four words suddenly spoken by Lynn, Rose and Wesley were momentarily stunned.

The two repeated Lynn’s words in confusion, "Lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Lynn acknowledged, "I’ve thought of a way to attack Frank Manor."

Rose and Wesley exchanged glances again.

Lynn spoke solemnly, "You two may go rest now."

"However, before dawn tomorrow, I need you to gather the soldiers."

"I want to see a ready-to-march army waiting beneath the city wall."

Rose and Wesley’s expressions were shaken.

Lynn continued, "At dawn tomorrow, march with me!"

Rose and Wesley responded firmly, without hesitation, "Yes, Master."

With those words, the two no longer had much doubt.

As long as Lord Lynn had a plan.

As generals, they only needed to follow orders.

Watching them leave, Lynn turned his body and looked once more at the distant night sky.

Presently, Frank Manor indeed controls the entire land and labor of Morgan Town.

The land is crucial for a Manor Lord.

This includes arable land, pastures, forests, and so on.

The Manor Lord can organize peasants or hire free people for farming and breeding.

Producing grains, vegetables, meat, wool, and various agricultural products.

Some of these products are used to satisfy the Manor Lord’s needs and the living needs of castle personnel.

The rest can be brought to the market to sell for money or trade for other goods.
