Lord Chronicle

Chapter 179 Crazy Plan
"Judging from the information provided by the thief, the other party left the Lulin Army's forward fortress three days ago, and then entered the wilderness to the east. This can indeed bypass General Pintat's frontal defense line."

Hiding on the top of a mountain, Das stared at the map in his hand.

After getting the information from the thieves, Das and his staff quickly made an analysis and confirmed the most likely route of the Lulin cavalry.So he pulled Sol and ran to investigate with a few followers.

Beside him, a local officer who is familiar with the surrounding terrain said: "If their target is indeed the Ruhr Territory, they will definitely pass through the hilly area west of Padisi Territory. From the time calculation, they will arrive here in 2 days." , our troops can rush there first and carry out an ambush."

Das nodded: "Our camp is north of that hill, and we can get there in half a day, so we have plenty of time to prepare."

Sol suddenly pointed to a mountain on his right: "What is that place?"

The officer glanced at it and replied, "That's a branch of the Getin Mountains."

Saul asked: "If you pass through there, wouldn't you be able to reach the Ruhr Territory faster?"

The officer said with a smile: "If the opponent is infantry, it is indeed possible. But they are a cavalry, so they can only choose to take a detour through the hills."

Sol hummed, it seemed that he was a little worried.

After watching for a while, Das made a decision: "That's the decision. After returning, I will immediately order the troops to move out and enter the ambush site."

At this moment, a follower suddenly pointed to the distance: "Your Excellency, look."

Several people looked in the direction of his finger, and saw five cavalrymen appearing far below, galloping this way.

"It's the enemy's scouts, they came so fast." Das breathed out.

Unexpectedly, the enemy came two days earlier than they expected. The speed of the enemy was astonishing. Surprised, several people stared at the reconnaissance team intently.

Not long after, the other party came to the front.Suddenly, everyone gasped in unison.

These five cavalrymen were all in black armor, and their heads and faces were all covered in icy masks, even the horses were no exception.They maintained a compact formation, running silently like the wind, although there were only five riders, they carried a killing intent that made one's head tingling.

"This... this is the black armored cavalry!?"

In an instant, the terrible night when the camp was attacked appeared again in Thor's mind.

Unexpectedly, the troop mentioned by the thieves turned out to be the Black Armored Cavalry Regiment, one of the famous Lulin four trump card armies!

He watched the five black-armored cavalry gallop over the mountain where they were, and continued to explore the road, Suoer suddenly turned around and left: "I suddenly felt that it would be better for me to go back to the territory immediately."

Just kidding, nothing else is fine, isn't it courting death to be an enemy of these gods of death?You must know that even the elite knight corps of the Northern Army, which can fight the orcs to the death, is not the opponent of these killing machines.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he was grabbed by Das: "It's late."

Facing Sol's horrified gaze, he smiled deeply: "It seems that our luck is really good. You said, won't the reputation of defeating Lulin's ace army be great?"

After staring at this guy in astonishment for a long while, and realizing that he was serious, Sol wanted to cry without tears: "I will give you all the credit, and you let me go home, okay?"

God Denisos, you are not playing with me like this...************************************ *******************************
"I object!"

exclaimed an officer.

In the tent used as a temporary command post, an awkward atmosphere immediately fell into place.

After returning from reconnaissance, to Das' surprise, most of the officers heard that they were going to face the Black Cavalry Regiment, and they all expressed their opposition to his plan.

Just now, after Das once again reiterated that he wanted to ambush the Black Armored Cavalry, an officer finally couldn't bear it, stood up and expressed his opinion loudly.

For a moment, Das, who had never been refuted in public before, was stunned in the position of the chief general, and the others in the tent fell silent, apparently acquiescing to the officer's words.

Because of his status as a prince, Das was able to take the position of chief general, but his qualifications and abilities could not convince these professional soldiers, and Das himself knew it well.

However, he didn't expect that since he led the army, the first plan was opposed by almost everyone. For him who wanted to make meritorious deeds, it was unacceptable anyway.

Gathering his mind, Das said in a deep voice, "Why?"

An officer named Kadav, who had the highest rank in the Northern Legion, said: "The Black Armored Cavalry Regiment is very powerful. The subordinates believe that our current strength is not enough to fight against them."

Das nodded, but did not speak, and followed him to turn his gaze to the other side, where sat the officers of the garrison he brought out from the capital.

They hesitated for a moment, and then an officer named Meissner said: "We think so too."

Das couldn't help showing a look of disappointment. He thought that these people came out of the capital with him and would definitely support him, but he didn't know that even they opposed him, which made him deeply feel how immature he was in front of these professional soldiers.

The current situation is that although Das is the chief general in name, he does not receive the support of a single subordinate, and is in an unprecedented isolated situation.Under their persecution, he had no choice but to abandon the plan.

However, he pinned his hopes on this battle to prove his ability, so how could he stop there?
Das took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Do you want to watch the enemy slip by and attack General Pintat's rear?"

Kadav shook his head: "This subordinate doesn't mean that."

Das was a little angry: "So, what better suggestion do you have?"

Facing the general's anger, Kadav showed no fear at all, he said slowly: "Your Highness, don't get angry, you must know that the Black Armored Cavalry is one of the four trump card armies in Lulin, if our Northern Army Knights are still full If they do, they may have the power to fight, but now, I am afraid that the whole army is not their opponent."

His tone is like a teacher teaching ignorant students.

Das couldn't help but said: "But I don't intend to fight head-on, but to ambush them..."

Before he finished speaking, Meissner continued: "But Your Highness, the Black Armored Cavalry Regiment arrived two days earlier than we expected, and our side has no time advantage. Besides, the hills may be able to restrict ordinary troops, but It has little effect on the black armored cavalry, and we also do not have the terrain advantage."

"So..." Kadav finally said, "Even if it's an ambush, we won't be able to take any advantage."

His words attracted other officers to nod their heads.

As soon as the two joined forces, Das was speechless immediately.Compared with marching and fighting, Das really has no right to speak in front of them.

Das's face turned red and pale, and after a while, he said in a discouraged way: "Then what do you think I should do now?"

Kadav and Meissner looked at each other, and both of them had "unexpected" expressions in their eyes.Obviously, they had long believed that Darth would give in in the end.

Kaduff said: "The subordinates believe that the best way is to immediately send someone to warn General Pintat and let him take precautions, so that the Black Armored Cavalry will retreat in spite of difficulties. If they continue to advance, we will You can hit them from behind when they're fighting General Pintat, and that might beat them."

Meissner also nodded and said: "In short, any idea of ​​directly conflicting with them is unwise."

It has to be said that the suggestions of the two are very pertinent, especially when facing a powerful opponent like the Black Armored Cavalry, avoiding the opponent's edge is the best way.

Anyway, as long as their plot to sneak attack on Pintat is destroyed, no one can accuse Das of failing to abide by his duties. This is also the safest and most secure way.

However, Darth was young and energetic, even though he knew it was the safest way, he still felt unwilling.After all, it was really hard for him to accept such a best opportunity to prove himself, and just slipped away like this.

But when it comes to military strategy, in front of these experienced professional soldiers, Das is no different from a primary school student, and has almost no qualifications to argue.Even if he wanted to use the authority of the prince to force them to obey orders, he really didn't have any confidence.

Therefore, in this mood of worrying about gains and losses, the third prince of the dignified Dinar Kingdom blushed and froze there, looking quite embarrassed.

Sol on the side really couldn't stand it anymore.He understands Darth's mood very well, if he really does it today, maybe there won't be any problems, but it will be an extremely heavy blow to Darth's own confidence, and he may no longer be able to effectively command these subordinates in the future up.

After all, in the eyes of these unruly soldiers, Das is at best a rookie who relies on his father's authority to get to the top.If they were in peacetime, they would naturally be respectful, but now in wartime, how could these people be willing to entrust their lives to such a person with no actual achievements.

If he can no longer win a place in this war, the prince Darth will be very depressed in the future.

With a secret sigh in his heart, Sol finally spoke: "I'm sorry, let me talk too much, the order we got is to contain the enemy's actions and buy time for General Pintat. Can we just let the Black Armored Cavalry go?"

It stands to reason that in this kind of military meeting, there is no place for the little lord Sol to speak, and he is not even eligible to attend.However, the strange thing is that almost all the officers have adopted a tacit attitude towards his appearance here, and even when he suddenly interrupted at this time, no one objected.

The reason is more interesting.

From the point of view of the Northern Legion, Thor and Gein once captured Diviji Castle together.So unknowingly, the soldiers of the Northern Army regarded Thor as Gein, and at the same time, he was also the one who hung it up.

As for the defenders of the royal capital, Solgui is a marquis, he is highly regarded by King Robert, and he is a good friend of Darth. Naturally, no one will say anything about him here.

Moreover, Thor helped the barbarians defeat the orcs, and resolved the biggest crisis on the northern border of Dinar, which was equivalent to indirectly saving the lives of the garrison troops stationed in the Broken Sword Gap Fortress, and the whole army liked him very much.

For these straightforward soldiers, the real achievements on the battlefield are more practical than anything else.Therefore, after going back and forth, although Thor had nothing to do with the military, he won their respect more than the prince Darth.

Therefore, these officers were very polite to Saul's sudden interruption.Kaduff patiently explained: "Sir Saul, it's not that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, but judging from the current strength comparison, confronting the Black Armored Cavalry regiment head-on will only cause the soldiers to die in vain."

Meissner also said: "Therefore, it is the best policy to adopt safe countermeasures. As long as General Pintat takes precautions, the enemy's tricks will not succeed."

Sol stretched out his fingers and tapped his forehead: "But what if they ignore General Pintat at all, but go straight north from the Ruhr Territory, enter our defenseless Northern Territory, and even take a detour to attack the king's capital?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

If what Sol said became true, the northern territories of Dinar would probably fall into hell immediately.In response to Lulin's aggression, Dinar has exhausted all the troops he can mobilize, and almost all the troops have gathered in the territory of Over and Ruhr to confront the enemy.

In addition, the evacuated territories are no different from empty cities. If the wolf-like black cavalry regiment enters the north, the chain reaction will be unimaginable.

Both Kadav and Messner had clearly positioned the Black Armored Cavalry on the point that they would definitely attack Pintat. They had never thought of such a possibility. When Sol reminded them, they all looked dull.

After thinking for a while, Kadav hurriedly said: "Then... Then General Pintat must be informed immediately, and he must stop the Black Armored Cavalry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sol immediately said: "Then General Pintat's deployment will be completely disrupted. I am afraid that the Lulin Army in the fortress has been waiting for this good opportunity. Even if the enemy does not attack, General Pintat We don’t know how long it will take to gather troops once, and our counterattack will be in the foreseeable future.”

Then, he said slowly: "So, we must stop them!"

Already hearing that Thor was helping him, Darth's eyes showed excitement.

Meissner couldn't help hesitating: "But... because we want to stop the Black Armored Cavalry, I'm afraid..."

Suddenly, Sol cut him off unexpectedly: "What if the Black Armored Cavalry Regiment bypasses the hilly area and enters the Katyn branch?"

"How is this possible..." Kaduff just said something, followed by a sudden reaction: "Could it be that you have a way to do it!?"

At this time, not only the officers, but even Das was astonished.

He thought Sol was just persuading the officers to let him ambush the Black Armored Cavalry as planned.Unexpectedly, this guy seemed to have something to do later, at this time, Das began to be faintly grateful for the act of abducting Thor.

With strong mobility and impact, the Black Armored Cavalry is invincible and invincible.The small hilly terrain can't hinder them at all, which is also Kadav's biggest concern.

It may be okay to rely on the hills to protect themselves, but to stop or even defeat the Black Armored Cavalry Regiment, with the combat effectiveness of the current patchwork army, it is simply impossible.

However, if the Black Armored Cavalry Regiment can enter the mountainous area with complex terrain and lose their greatest advantage of war horses, then there will be a possibility of success under a deliberate ambush.

Excited, Meissner hurriedly said: "You, you really have a way?"

Thor glanced at Darth, who looked at him expectantly.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, Lord Atria, it seems that I have to do something that you elves hate the most...

Facing the hopeful and skeptical gazes of Das and the officers, Saul made a fool of himself first: "You haven't answered me yet, if they enter the mountains, are you sure?"

Kaduff said without hesitation: "If that's the case, even if we all die in battle, those guys must be powerless to disturb the northern territory."

These words were immediately echoed by everyone, and everyone in the tent, including Darth, showed firm eyes that were swearing to the death.

They are real soldiers, as long as there is any possibility of defeating the enemy, they will not back down!
Facing the smell of gunpowder filling the tent, Sol secretly wiped his sweat.My god, maybe I'm actually doing something dangerous...

Afterwards, he expressed his plan in a few words and in as calm a tone as possible.

"what!?"

Immediately following, this is everyone's reaction.

Not only the dumbfounded officers, but even Das, who had great trust in him, stared at Sol strangely like he was watching a madman.

Facing all kinds of gazes on him, Saul shrugged his shoulders with a face: "This is the only way, you can do it or not."

After a long while, Kaduff asked with difficulty: "I think, when encountering such a thing, normal people are more likely to turn around and go back, right?"

Sol shook his finger with a tut: "But the other party is not an ordinary person. With the pride of Lulin's ace army, they are not allowed to turn around at this point. As the characteristics of cavalry, they will inevitably take a risk. Back off Wan Bu said, it really scared them back, isn't everyone happy?"

Meissner couldn't help but said, "But...will they really be fooled?"

Sol nodded confidently: "Our greatest advantage is that the enemy does not know that we have discovered their whereabouts. They have no choice but to take this path."

Finally, after exchanging glances with several officers including Kadav, Das finally made a decision: "Okay, let's do it!"

Then, he patted Saul on the shoulder: "I was still rejoicing just now, but now I'm starting to wonder if it was a wise decision to kidnap you here."

After finishing speaking, he walked out without waiting for Sol to answer.

At the same time, the officers also left the tent one after another.When he walked to the door, Kaduff said to himself, "Master Gein is really lucky to be able to capture Diviji Castle with him alive."

Meissner shook his head in disbelief: "I must be crazy to agree to such a crazy idea..."

Seeing everyone's reaction in his eyes, Sol really couldn't laugh or cry.

Damn, what is this, are you scolding the cook when you are full?Then you have to wait until the battle is over before scolding...
