I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 149 Guess
Through observation of the battlefield and the unusual behavior of the Republican Army beforehand, after the cuirassiers crushed the player's large square formation and rushed straight to the trench, Chris now roughly guessed his opponent's intentions.

From the prisoners, we learned that the former general of the Kingdom, now Lieutenant General of the Republic Dalek, wanted to go all in.

But how can I put it, although Lieutenant General Dalek's behavior was crazy, he did catch Chris off guard.

Even if His Royal Highness scratched his head, he still couldn't figure out what the Lieutenant General was thinking.

Because of empathy, even with the help of players, Chris didn't dare to arrive on the first day and start the general attack without even repairing the main camp.

Even considering the most radical tactics, when facing an ancient and majestic castle like Bolas Fortress, Chris would order people to build camps and fortifications on the first day, and send players to fight against the enemies who came to harass him.

On the second and third days, after completing the cleanup near the fortress, Chris would order his men to push the artillery forward and bombard the fortress and the fortifications at the foot of the mountain for one to five days.

Only after bombarding the fortress for a few days, initially clearing out the area and suppressing the morale of the defenders, would Chris actually launch an attack on the fortress.

Even so, launching a real attack on a fortress like Bolas after only a siege of less than ten days was already radical and risky from any perspective.

But compared with Lieutenant General Dalek's current battle plan, Chris's radicalism seems insignificant.

The cuirassiers charged the battle formation, seized the trenches and barbed wire, and created a gap, and the subsequent troops followed up to widen the gap.

Chris had to admit that Lieutenant General Dalek's plan had a certain possibility. Due to his own negligence, he sent a thousand players out to test the waters, and the latter seized the opportunity.

Sending the cavalry would have been the best option, but Chris was reluctant to risk the only two hundred mounted infantrymen he had, especially since he had painstakingly bought these two hundred horses with corn syrup.

When training cavalry on weekdays, they were reluctant to use harsh methods on them, let alone let these precious war horses take risks for an insignificant purpose.

Letting the player go out was a mistake, but not strictly speaking a mistake.

While thinking, Chris had a question that he could not figure out.

Lieutenant General Dalek went all in. Except for the civilians, the entire army, including regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, rushed forward. It was obvious that it was impossible to build a large camp today.

Chris looked up at the sun hanging in the middle of the sky.

Well, it's noon now, and it will be dark in five or six hours at most.

During this period of time, the Republican Army might be able to take advantage of the surprise attack and capture the first line of trench defense of the fortress, but what about the gentle slope behind it, the fortress itself, and the fortress hills on the left and right of the trenches?
The hilltop fortress in the north is easy to deal with. Due to lack of time and lack of importance, it does not have many fortifications. Apart from a few light howitzers such as the Tiger Cannon, there are only about two hundred players who can be considered a tough nut to crack.

The hilltop fortress on the west side is the strongest. Chris invested a lot of reinforced concrete in this small mountain area which is only fifty meters high. He not only hollowed out the hill, but also deployed the short-barreled and long-barreled artillery he had recently "developed".

There are hundreds of players stationed inside, as well as the First Infantry Regiment of the Defense Force led by Isaac himself.

It can be said that compared with Bolas Fortress, Chris values ​​this seemingly inconspicuous hill more, and has forcibly turned it into a military fortress similar to a bastion.

Even if the fortress fell, this bastion hill might still be able to continue fighting.

Chris attached great importance to it for no other reason than that behind it was the train station and the railway tracks leading to Beach Town. Therefore, even if the Republican Army took the "trench, earth wall, barbed wire" defense line, it would not mean victory. They still had to take the hills on both sides.

Of course, they could also ignore the threats from both sides and attack Bolas Fortress while there was still daylight, or attack the city at night, either taking the fortress in one day or having the entire army collapse the next day.

Hmm, wait... are the enemies sure they can break into Bolas Fortress within a day, like how I took the fortress before?
Chris immediately looked down at his feet, and in an instant he thought of three possibilities.

The first is the underground secret passage that players have walked through.

Well, Chris has not only sent people to guard this passage, but also set up fortifications. Unless Lieutenant General Dalek can send an army in, there is no possibility of taking the fortress.

The second thing is the city gate, the front gate, the back city... Could it be that there is a traitor?!
This is a possibility. Chris thought of the Alanka priest, the militia under his command, and even the soldiers in the infantry regiment. The majority of them believe in the Mother Earth.

If there were a few fools among them who believed Alanka's lies, the city gate might really fall down on its own.

After all, in order to prevent the possibility of counterattack, Chris did not completely block the front and back gates.

Thinking of this, Chris immediately turned around and shouted to Connie who was standing behind him.

"Connie, take your people and check the city gates. Check both the front and back gates. I suspect there might be a mole."

When Connie heard this, her face changed and she turned and ran away.

The guards in Bolas Castle are a bit messy now. In addition to the players, there are also the first wave of Beach Town militia who followed Chris, as well as militia from the refugee camp.

The three parties mixed together, with more than a thousand people, can be considered a mixed bag.

At this time, Chris felt a little regretful that he should have carried out military reforms earlier and unified the messy internal militia organization.

Speaking of which, war is about who makes fewer mistakes, and as far as it can be seen now, Chris has made quite a few mistakes, and he suddenly felt a little ashamed.

The third possibility is that the other party is unscientific and sends a magician or someone like God's spokesperson to use an earthquake to collapse the front of Bolas Fortress.

Well, if the enemy is cheating, Chris doesn't mind using some magic and divine arts.

Although Chris has been using cheats all the time, he is still relatively restrained. He did not use his cheats to the maximum extent, nor did he cut down mountains and destroy temples. He left a way for all sects and gave them some face.

But if they are shameless, Chris will not be polite to them anymore.

And now, Chris wants to give it a try and see what tricks Admiral Dalek is up to.

"Send a message to the militia stationed on the first line of defense..."
