Chapter 149 Vulnerability
In the magnificent and majestic palace, His Majesty the King in casual clothes sat behind the desk, carefully reviewing the official documents in his hands.From time to time, he picked up the pen on the table and wrote notes on the official documents.

On the low table at one side, the refreshing dessert carefully prepared by the imperial chef had completely cooled down, but His Majesty the King hadn't eaten even a sip.

After a long time, His Majesty the King finally finished reviewing the official document.He put down the paper and pen in his hand, and slowly stood up while kneading his brows.

so tired!

His Majesty the King paced slowly, let out a long sigh, his face was full of tiredness that could not be concealed.

Since the war with the Riga Empire, various memorials, requests, and official documents have flooded in, making him tired of coping.

If it's just that the official duties are heavy, then it's nothing. His Majesty the King is not old yet, so he still has some energy.But the worrying things came one after another, one after another, like huge stones, getting higher and higher, weighing heavily on his heart.

Ever since the head of that useless prince was cut off and hung outside the east city gate in a demonstration, the cloud of war has shrouded the entire glorious empire.

Just as the whole country was working together and busy doing all kinds of preparations to deal with the upcoming war, the Grand Duke of Keqishi stabbed the empire in the back at this fatal juncture.

A rebellion in a province will naturally have a very bad impact.However, with the military power of the province of Taranto, the army sent from Aberdeen is more than enough to deal with it.Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the attitude of the Grand Duke Edwards suddenly became ambiguous.

At last, that boy Anthony had some tricks and solved all the troubles.After a few days of delay, the counter-insurgency army finally set out smoothly according to the original plan.

The interior of the empire can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, but the soldiers of the Riga Empire over there have finally arrived as expected.

The famous Riga general Dino led an army to attack, with a threatening momentum.A tentative attack caused heavy losses to the Huaishuiguan defenders.Fortunately, the Grand Duke Mattesias has rich experience and command, and then quickly stabilized the situation.

The upper echelons of the empire had just pushed back the little heart that jumped into their throats, and before they had time to take a breath, bad news came from the Aberdeen counter-insurgency troops: the enemy surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao with one move, forcing the army to withdraw troops and return to help, suppressing the rebellion Plan to declare abortion!
This is not the worst news, His Majesty the King thought of the latest progress that the guards had just come in to report, and his temples on both sides couldn't restrain the throbbing.

Taranto actually set up checkpoints to stop the return of the Aberdeen army.In the first battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Looking at the situation, it is not entirely impossible for the rebels to nail the Aberdeen army to death in the province of Taranto.

At this point, the situation of the Glorious Empire began to gradually deteriorate, and the situation became more and more critical.

In just a few months, the development of the situation within the empire can be described as twists and turns, ups and downs, and the highlights are like singing a big show on stage.

The only difference is that this time His Majesty the King is not sitting on the dragon chair, sipping fragrant tea, beating the beat, and being a spectator in a relaxed mood.Instead, he was deeply caught in this drama and couldn't extricate himself.

Regret?
His Majesty the King couldn't help asking himself inwardly.

If he had known about today's difficult predicament, would he have adopted such a radical and risky plan by that young man?

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

His Majesty the King shook his head vigorously, driving this meaningless assumption out of his mind.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..." A rush of shouts came from outside the hall.

Following the sound of light but dense footsteps gradually approaching, a figure broke into the hall.

Without turning his head to look, His Majesty the King knew who was coming, and his brows could not help but knit together.

At this time, it was a tense period of war between the two countries. Naturally, the palace was heavily guarded, with three steps, one post and five steps, one post, guarding against possible assassin masters sent by the Riga Empire.To be able to enter the hall without being passed through by shouting all the way, without being intercepted or directly killed by the guards, of course, is because His Majesty the King has already explained.

"In the palace, what a shame to shout!"

His Majesty the King reprimanded, turned around, and looked at the man with displeasure.

"There's some bad news, let's hear it."

The person here is His Majesty's confidant, and he grew up playing with him since he was a child.There is not much ability, but it is absolutely reliable. This time, he was assigned the task of passing on the news.

It's just that this confidant has not attracted much attention from His Majesty the King recently.

The main reason is that during this period of time, most of the news he submitted has upset His Majesty and caused him headaches.Seeing him at this time, it's strange to have a good face.

The man was reprimanded, as if frightened.He hurriedly restrained himself, straightened his clothes, and carefully walked up to His Majesty the King, and reported in a low voice.

"what?!"

His Majesty the King, who was still impatient at first, just listened to the beginning, raised his head suddenly, and turned his voice to the highest level, staring at the man with his round eyes.

"Holy Empire? Bright Holy See?!"

……

In Taranto, that unknown place.

Eight days have passed since the first battle between the armies of Aberdeen and Taranto.

During this period, Aberdeen launched two more attacks, but the final result was that they returned without success.The defense line built hastily by the Taranto rebels according to the terrain is like a war fortress made of steel, no matter how hard the army fights, it still stands still.

Of course, this result is also related to the combat strategy adopted by General John.

The top brass of the army really couldn't bear the style of play like the first battle, and they cried out heartache.Naturally, the subsequent offensive should be much more cautious.

If the world can be settled in one battle, the price is still worth it.However, after a positive dialogue, General John clearly realized that the rebels on the opposite side were not a force to be slaughtered.Facing an opponent with sufficient weight, but still trying to solve the problem with a wave of flow, in the end, I am afraid that I will lose so much that I can't even keep my pants.

Of course, although he failed to break through the level in the end, it was not without any gains.

"Boss, have you noticed that the layout of the third position is a bit weird."

Tang Feng pointed to the place a little to the left of the center of the defense line on the opposite side, and whispered to Anthony beside him.

"The terrain of the position is a little bit high, and the defenders can attack us condescendingly. The road in front of us is covered with sharp and hard stones. It is very inconvenient to charge or form an array. In addition, its position is in the middle of the defense line. , and also recessed a little back, so that the arrows and magic attack surfaces of the defenders at both ends can be covered."

After a slight pause, Tang Feng continued.

"Theoretically speaking, position No. [-] is the point with the best terrain and the most difficult to break through in the entire defense line. In fact, our troop deployment also consciously chooses to avoid this section, placing the most elite troops in the In other places, I never thought of using this place as a breakthrough point. But, let’s see how the Jiaren arranged the defense there.”

Tang Feng moved his fingers slightly to the left and right of the third position.

"On the left are the No. 18, No. [-] Battalions of Taranto, and on the right are the Fifth, Sixth, and Ninth Battalions, all of which are the most elite troops under Ke Qishi. Behind the Sixth Battalion, there are even more A squadron of magicians was released. And in previous battles, I have not seen them fire even a small fireball, even when the other lines were in danger of being breached."

"It stands to reason that this position, which is the easiest to defend and difficult to attack, does not need to make such careful arrangements. As a famous general on the mainland, Frankie is unlikely to make such a low-level mistake. Therefore, I have a bold guess... ..."

Tang Feng withdrew his gaze and looked at the young man he admired the most.

"There must be some kind of hidden danger in position No. [-]. It is not as unbreakable as it appears on the surface! The purpose of stationing heavy troops around the position is to help defend the position in time when it is attacked. If we attack this point with all our strength, we may be able to break it This whole line of defense."

Finally confiding the guesses and countermeasures in his mind, Tang Feng was like a candidate who just handed in his answer sheet, impatient to know the examiner's judgment on his answer.

In his mind, Anthony is the "examiner".

Although the boss is young, his military talent seems to be innate. Tang Feng has nothing but admiration for him, and he has long regarded him as a benchmark for his progress.

Anthony looked at the tight line of defense on the opposite side, and couldn't help nodding secretly.

He is worthy of being a famous general in the mainland, and he really lives up to his reputation.

"You said it yourself, Franky is a world-renowned general, and his ability to lead the army is not fake. He will easily expose such obvious arrangements and loopholes for you to see?"

"The so-called truth is false, and false is true. Maybe he wants us to think this way, and it is very possible. Besides, Taranto's military strength is not as good as ours. This is a fact, and no one can change it. The previous war In this battle, our loss is huge, but the opponent is absolutely uncomfortable. Maybe Frankie has no good cards in his hand, and it is hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, so I have to arrange it like this."

Tang Feng thought for a while, but still insisted on his point of view.

Anthony nodded and did not refute: "What you said is not unreasonable. But you have to think clearly, if you make a mistake in your judgment, it is tantamount to hitting your head on the enemy's hardest shield, and the consequences may be serious."

Tang Feng straightened his waist, his whole body was like a spear, firm and sharp.

"In war, you have to put your head on your belt. How can you not take risks. I understand the middle ground. Please rest assured, boss."

Anthony nodded again without saying a word.

He kept some words in his heart and didn't say them out.

Aberdeen's manager is General John after all.How to fight this battle and how to deploy troops are all up to him.The two of us are pondering and discussing here, whether it is reasonable or just guessing, if General John does not accept it, everything is just empty talk.

Tang Feng should also understand this point.As he himself said, he can grasp the proportions.

That being the case, there is no need for Anthony to waste any more words.
