Chapter 228 Difficult Choices
Fifty miles away from the southern suburbs of the imperial capital, the army of Taranto is camping here.

In the main tent of the Chinese army, the Grand Duke Keqishi, whose hair and eyebrows were as white as snow, was pacing back and forth hurriedly, and his restlessness could be seen at a glance.

In the past year, the Duke's mood can be described as great joy and sorrow, with ups and downs, and there is almost no calm time.

Originally, I thought that the Riga Empire would be overwhelmingly crushed against the weak and glorious empire.In view of this, he bet heavily on his wealth and life early on, not hesitating to be charged with treason, but also to grab this first prize.

If you want to make a lot of money, you have to take risks, and the Grand Duke Keqishi naturally understands this truth.So when the Aberdeen counter-insurgency army marched towards the province of Taranto, although he was apprehensive, he was not surprised.

Surprisingly, Franky, the famous general of the Riga Empire, performed beyond his imagination, not only defusing the offensive of the counter-insurgency army, but also designing a counterattack.If it weren't for the nasty Anthony's cross-cutting, Taranto could even surrender thousands of Aberdeen troops.

Then the Brussels province of the Grand Duke of Finney rebelled; the northern province of Hanover clearly stated its position, and the whole army was dispatched;

Although the situation has ups and downs, generally speaking, the situation is gradually leaning towards the Riga Empire.And the addition of the Riga Imperial Army has dropped a heavy bomb on the domestic battlefield.

Seeing that the glorious empire's destruction was imminent, and the reward promised by the King of the Riga Empire was about to become a reality, Burgundy Province received a piece of news that everyone couldn't believe.

The [-] Liga army led by General Schindler fell into the sand, and the entire army was wiped out!
This is impossible!

How can this be?

The first reaction of Grand Duke Keqis was disbelief.

After repeated confirmation and multi-party verification, the truth of the news was confirmed, the Duke fell to the ground in a daze, unable to react any other way.

How did you lose?How did it fail like this?Still defeated so badly, the whole army was wiped out!

Needless to say, the strength of the Riga army is strong, and General Schindler, who leads the army, is not an unknown person.Within the borders of the Brilliant Empire, they should be like wolves that have broken into the sheepfold, eating whichever one they like, who can resist, who dares to resist?

If it weren't for a clear understanding of the huge gap between the strengths of the two countries, why would the Grand Duke Keqishi give up the power of an extremely powerful minister, bear the consequences of being ridiculed and abused by later generations, and resolutely rebel.

But now it's like hearing a joke, saying that the docile sheep have become fierce, not only daring to confront the wolf, but also eating the wolf?

Hehe, this joke is not funny at all.

Frankie sat in the handsome seat, but his face was calm, without any disturbance.

Whenever major events are approaching, there is calmness, and Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his face. How can Franky's title of famous general in the mainland be just a joke.

However, his calm behavior cannot prevent a strong reversal of the entire situation.

That boy Anthony is too scary, even though Franky has always attached great importance to him, and even regards him as the biggest obstacle to the destruction of the glorious empire.But he found time and time again that he still seriously underestimated the degree of danger to the teenager.

If anyone had been sitting in Anthony's position, facing the predicament at that time, he would have been overwhelmed, confused, and at a loss.

But he has a clear mind, not only has a clear understanding of the complicated and critical situation, but also quickly grasps the key points and implements key breakthroughs.

Such courage, such courage, such self-confidence, coupled with the matching strength.

As a result, this fearsome boy completed a stunning victory, turning the crisis of the glorious empire around in one fell swoop.

Now, on the other hand, Taranto's outstanding army, which was trying to hit the vital point directly, fell into an embarrassing situation.Just waiting for the arrival of Anthony's army, they are likely to follow in the footsteps of General Schindler.

If the French and Taranto armies are also eliminated, the remaining Brussels, which is not determined to fight, will be even more difficult to support.

The Glorious Empire, which seemed to be in flames everywhere, suddenly saw the hope of complete recovery just because of this great victory!

Frankie hated secretly.

If I had known today, when I had the opportunity, I should have killed this young man at all costs.

Having said that, but thinking about the past, it seems that there is no good chance to kill Anthony smoothly.On the contrary, although Frankie is also a top powerhouse in the fourth realm, he has the opportunity to completely obliterate Anthony and the Brilliant Empire.

For example, the one-on-one fight with Anthony outside the imperial capital, or being captured by the Imperial Guards of the Brilliant Empire after being seriously injured at the embassy station.

"General Franky, what should we do in this situation?"

A question brought Franky, who had drifted away, back to reality.

When I fixed my eyes, I saw that the Grand Duke Keqishi had stopped his meaningless pacing, sat down on the side, and was looking at himself with hope.

"Cough~" Franky coughed lightly, and gave a little signal.His Excellency the Duke immediately understood, and ordered loudly: "You all go out, the Duke and General Franky have important confidential matters to discuss."

The Taranto generals in the account had no choice but to bow their hands and salute before turning and leaving.

The Grand Duke of Keqishi waited for the last general to go out, and when only the two leaders of Taranto were left in the big tent, he said to Franky: "General, can you speak now?"

Frankie pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Your Excellency the Duke has also read the news about the Burgundy War. The current situation in the Brilliant Empire is very unfavorable to us."

General Riga uttered nonsense.

But he thought in his heart that it would be good if Duke Keqishi hadn't seen the news of Schindler's defeat.

His Excellency the Duke was restless, but he was still very calm on the surface.

"I know. General Mingxiu plank road to secretly attack Chencang, attacking the city of Aberdeen on the surface, causing the defenders to panic and guard behind closed doors. He also attracted the only garrison force in the imperial capital, the First Royal Cavalry Regiment, to assist them in defending. But in fact Marching quickly, they passed through the entire province of Aberdeen before the enemy reacted, and directly attacked the imperial capital of the Glorious Empire. The general's leadership skills are amazing, and he is worthy of the title of a famous general."

Duke Keqishi gave Franky a compliment first, and then continued.

"Originally, this move was a stroke of genius. According to what the general said before, we can take advantage of the emptiness and lack of defense in the imperial capital, and take it down in one go. Or set up a trap and wait for work, and wait for Aberdeen and Aberdeen who have just woken up from their dreams The Royal Cavalry came forward to throw themselves into the trap. They can also maneuver guerrilla attacks in this area to make the enemy restless. Cooperate with General Schindler's military operations."

"But now that General Schindler's entire army has been wiped out, not only can't help us share the pressure, but it has liberated a large number of Burgundy troops. In this way, we have become a lonely army and have fallen into the siege of the enemy. One If you’re not careful, you’ll end up with a doomed end.”

What the Duke of Keqishi said was not against his will, Franky is indeed very good at leading the army.A simple feint shot led away the last large-scale army in the imperial capital.And go straight to Huanglong, almost be able to implement the beheading tactics and capture the heart of the glorious empire.

But although Franky lived up to the name of a famous general, but Anthony was even more monstrous, like a god of war possessed.On his own side, he managed to touch the edge of the imperial capital, but on his side, he had already chopped up General Schindler like melons and vegetables.

This is really killing people!
Damn Schindler dies as soon as he dies, but you will die sooner or later, and you kicked your legs at this juncture.

We must know that if he can delay for a few more months, the situation here may have been greatly changed by Franky.Or if he belches a little earlier, Frankie weighs the gains and losses, and he won't lead the Taranto army to risk alone for the sake of making a miracle.

In this way, the clever move becomes stinky chess.The dead Schindler seemed to be helping the Brilliant Empire, he did not hesitate to die, and led the Taranto army out of his base camp, and fell into the heavy siege of the enemy.

Now in a dilemma, how can the Duke not feel anxious?
We can only count on Franky, and hope that this famous mainland general can come up with some coups.

"The current situation is very different from when we sent troops. The original combat plan is completely no longer applicable. If you want to make progress, I am afraid it is no longer possible. According to my opinion, we should put ourselves first. imperative."

Frankie said as he walked to the big map hanging on the wall.

"Your Excellency, please see that there is a large area in the north of the imperial capital, and even the Hanover province further north, for us to move around. As long as luck is not too bad, the enemy may not be able to find us in a short time, let alone Said to defeat and destroy us."

When the Grand Duke Keqishi heard it, he already understood what he meant.

It's nothing more than guerrilla warfare and delaying time.

General Dino has officially launched his efforts. The battle is fierce before the Huaishui Pass, and there is a danger of breaking the pass at any time.It is impossible for Anthony to throw tens of thousands of troops to the far north of the empire for a long time, playing hide-and-seek with himself and others.

And once the opponent is distracted, with Frankie's sharpness, he may not be unable to find the right opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

The Duke hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Can't we withdraw to Taranto?"

In his opinion, when it comes to fighting guerrillas, there is nothing comparable to his old lair.On his own territory, every plant and every tree is very familiar, of course it is much more suitable than the Hannover province.Isn't that what they did when they defeated Aberdeen's army?

Frankie shook his head.

"It's too late. Aberdeen must have received the news that Schindler was defeated and Anthony's army came. Now they don't have to worry about the future, and they can concentrate on defending the solid front without distractions. If they want to be as relaxed as when they came here , It is almost impossible. If we are entangled in a certain place by the defenders, dragging our feet, and Anthony just rushed over at this time, the consequences will be disastrous."

Now the mentality of the two armies is completely reversed. Aberdeen is not in a hurry, but Taranto is anxious.Once a war starts but cannot be won quickly, it is likely to be a bad battle and drag both sides into the quagmire.

This is what the enemy wants, but it is what Frankie tries to avoid.

Duke Keqishi has another plan.

"According to the previous plan, how about continuing to attack the imperial capital?"

In the original plan, there was such an option, the imperial capital was empty, and it was possible to attack and take it.Not to mention that the capture of King Beckenbauer alive would make Anthony be wary, even if he just defended the city, it would be much more at ease for the Duke than to go to the barren mountains to fight guerrillas and test his character.

Franky still shook his head and explained: "Although I don't want to believe it, I still suspect that Anthony has already calculated the current situation. If this is the case, the emptiness of the imperial capital is probably just an appearance. Even if we attack with all our strength, we may not be able to quickly fall. And once the time drags on for a long time..."

Franky didn't continue talking, but the Grand Duke Keqishi also understood what he meant.

Dunbing under the city, tired of attacking for a long time.Once the enemy army arrived outside, they probably would have nowhere to run.

But this doesn't work and that doesn't work either. Could it be possible to sit here and wait for death?
The Grand Duke of Keqishi pulled his beard restlessly, stood up again, and paced back and forth.
