Chapter 485

William's strategic layout is to let Sean, Rena and Cecilia lead the first cavalry regiment as the vanguard to occupy yedby fort in the shortest time. After that, William will lead the three troops of thunder lion, Cecilia guards and dark wings to join here, and then use this as a transfer station to divide two troops and go directly to yero city all the way, On the other hand, a front-line combat base will be established at the border between yedby and tinchein. As for yedby, it will become a logistics base to form a logistics supply route connecting panda, and the reserve with steel wings will maintain the safety of this route.

As for the steel wing regiment, the main purpose is to contain the troops led by tingqi; Another force responsible for occupying the city of Jero will also arrive at the reserve forces with steel wings. After the handover, it will immediately go to the front-line bases located in yadby and tinchiin.

All these strategic principles must be completed within four days.

However, what Sean and others did not expect was that Rob's territorial development policy was completely tantamount to accelerating Sean and others' aggression in disguise, and the whole battle plan was almost two days ahead of William's expected time.

On the morning of the third day of the war, two camps had been quickly established at the junction of tinchein and yadby, and they were more than 30 miles away from each other. This is a tactical adjustment made by William after that. Its main purpose is to lengthen the defense line led by tingqi. After all, the total force of Sean's attack this time is less than 20000. It naturally needs some tricks to face the 60000 army led by tingqi.

If you count the iron wing troops led by Dayi, these are three arrows for tinguin.

After all, the defender is no better than the attacker. As long as the territory borders each other, the attacker can choose the attack position and target at will. However, the defender can't do this, because the more vast a territory is and the more cities and towns there are, the more areas need to be defended. If the enemy has many attack targets and does not repeat, the defense line that the defender needs to open will become longer.

Under the limitation of military strength, once the defense is elongated, it means that the thickness of the defense line will become thinner.

Just like now, tingqi has 30000 private soldiers, but Domingo must assign 10000 people to guard the cities and towns of the territory to prevent Sean from sending small troops to infiltrate and destroy the rear, so in fact, he can only use 20000 private soldiers. But the 20000 private soldiers need to defend in three directions. On average, there are only more than 6000 people in each direction. In contrast, they have almost no advantage over Sean's three arrows in this regard.

However, in addition to the 30000 private soldiers, Domingo also has a second cavalry regiment with a size of 30000.

However, everyone knows that this force is not Domingo's private, but belongs to the kingdom of dabion. Therefore, Domingo can mobilize this cavalry force to assist in defense, but he can't fully devote this force to the defense of the whole territory. Therefore, in fact, the biggest role of these 30000 people is to rush for help, attack and harass - but with William's current strategic layout, Domingo's second cavalry regiment has only one rush for help.

At this moment, located in Hastings manor, the angry Domingo has smashed all the things that can be smashed in the study.

In the face of such a furious Domingo, the other members of the Hastings family in the study dared not speak, and their eyes fell on a map in the study.

This map was drawn temporarily. Due to the rush of work, many rough edges can be seen. Moreover, many of the drawings on the map are not particularly fine. Maybe only some outlines can be seen, but it is much better than other places in terms of strategic areas. Obviously, even if it is made in a hurry, the surveyor also knows the real function of this map, so he doesn't dare to be distracted on the real big problem.

Now, many red and blue flags have been inserted on this map, the most of which is blue, but there are only five red flags, which are located in three places, one in the left and right places, and only three in the middle. If Sean or William were here, we can see that the place where the five flags are inserted is exactly the three camps arranged by William, so the meaning of the five flags is self-evident.

On the left is the steel wing, on the right is the lion of thunder, and in the middle is naturally Cecilia guards, the first cavalry regiment and dark wings.

"How dare they!" Domingo's anger was not without reason.

Disputes between the nobles of two different countries, or even wars, are usually disputes between the two Lords. Unless other allies join, a larger war may break out. However, in any case, there will be a most basic guarantee, that is, no occupation of other territories, even the territory of enemy allies, and even if the territory is lost, it can usually be recovered through compensation afterwards.

This guarantee is protected by the oldest aristocratic law, and no aristocrat is allowed to violate it.

Even if Sean now owns Dayi and chilav, these two territories are actually the kingdom of dabion. Sean still gives part of the territory's tax to the kingdom of dabion every year. He is only the temporary representative of these two territories. As long as the kingdom of dabion is willing to offer compensation, the two territories will eventually be returned to the kingdom of dabion. Of course, it must be three years later, and now Sean has only occupied the two territories for one year.

All these are the hidden rules of nobility, and any nobility must abide by them.

But now, Sean directly occupied yedby castle, put Baron yedby in custody, and took the city of yero, which has completely violated the unspoken rules of the nobility.

"This is aggression!" Domingo roared, "he's not even a noble..."

"He is already an aristocrat." It was Thain who interrupted Domingo's roar.

Only the son valued by Domingo dared to interrupt Domingo at this time, and no one else dared to touch Domingo at this time.

"What do you mean?" Domingo turned his head and looked at his son.

"He is a baron now." Thain said, "this is already a formal aristocratic system, so this time he sent troops to fight with us, which is completely in line with the aristocratic law Of course, I think you should also know, sir, that many times the old aristocratic law is only relative to people with similar strength. For those with strong strength, the aristocratic law has no binding force at all. Moreover, even if we are now against Sean's occupation of yadby collar, the other party has complete excuses to refute. "

Hearing Thain's words, Domingo's face was still unwilling, which could be seen from his clenched fists: "what's that guy moynes doing to eat? He was led by panda so easily."

"Baron yadby is not to blame." Thain shook his head and said in a deep voice, "this time we are too careless."

Speaking of this, Thain saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him. He cleared his throat a little, and then continued to say: "the other party had issued a declaration of war very early, but we didn't pay attention to this declaration of war, but made trouble because the other party was not a noble at all. But at this time, in fact, we should find a problem that we ignore. The Lord of panda has a foundation of such a scale. It is very easy to become an aristocrat, even if it is only a baron, but it is also a member of the formal aristocratic system, so the declaration of war is as effective as that one. "

Hearing Thain's words, all the people present finally woke up and showed a sudden look.

But when Thain saw the appearance of these people, he sighed slightly. He knew that the Hastings had been going well for too long, which made these family members have a feeling of complacency, so no one had carefully considered the problems that might arise next. Although he had thought about these carefully, he was interrupted before he finished his words at the last meeting, and no one believed his inference at all.

At this moment, Thain knew that the Hastings family had begun to decay.

But he can't say these words directly, because although he knows that he is Domingo's son, his apparent identity is not a member of the Hastings family at all.

"The Lord of panda is smarter and cunning than we thought." Thain shook his head and cleared away those unrealistic ideas and troubles from his mind. "Sending troops after obtaining Baron status and before becoming Baron are basically two concepts. He first issued a declaration of war to us as a non aristocrat for only one purpose, that is, to paralyze us, because the identity of development knight has not appeared in the mainland for a long time, and we all know that no lord can release a development rider at will, because each development Knight symbolizes countless resources. However, the Marquis of tonis was very courageous and directly made the LORD an official aristocrat. Therefore, both the Lord and the Marquis were far more troublesome than we thought. "

"What do you mean..." a member of the Hastings family asked.

"We can't wait for help." Thain said without even thinking, "we must take the initiative! Maybe now the nugus family will send troops to reinforce us. After all, the young master wants to kill Lord panda, but that's the problem! " Hearing Thain's aggravation of the word "problem", everyone could not help trembling in their hearts, but Thain did not give the reaction time for everyone to digest at all, and said to himself: "I don't know if you still remember the modge collar occupied by the Marquis of tonis a year ago?"

The people were still thinking, but Domingo was still the first to react. He took an arrow to the desk, waved away all the things, took out the territorial map of the kingdom of dabion, just glanced, and his face changed instantly: "this place... Strategic land!"

Everyone present turned pale at Domingo's words.

"Yes, it is a strategic place." Thain said in a deep voice, "this territory is like a fish bone stuck in the throat. Before, this territory didn't matter in dabion, but now this territory falls into the hands of the Marquis, then all the four neighboring territories will face her threat of war But these are not the most important. The most important thing is that if you start from this territory in a hurry, you can enter Dayi's territory in only ten days. "

Domingo's pupils shrunk and his face was shocked.

"A few days ago, it was rumored that Vivian Michelle, the fierce general under the Marquis, had left this territory. It was on that day that panda led to send troops boldly."

Hearing this, everyone present had fully reacted, and Domingo said with a surprised look: "this is not a declaration of war and dispute, but a naked aggression! This is the conspiracy of the Principality of Lane! "

"Maybe it's aggression, but at least not yet." Thain shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"Now the Lord is a baron and has the same official status as us. If we continue to wait for the support of the nugus family at this time, they can also wait for the support of the marquis." Thain said in a deep voice, "let the Marquis join the war as an ally, let alone we have the support of the nugus family. Even if we drag the whole southern nobles into the water, our territory will be swallowed up by the war. At that time, even if we win the war, it will not do us any good."

"What do you mean?" Domingo asked.

"Take the initiative." Thain pulled up a blue flag and inserted it next to the red flag on the left. "We must take the initiative to attack and attack Dayi first! At present, without the support of allies on both sides, our forces have an absolute advantage. As long as we concentrate on attacking the Dayi collar and cut off the possible support of the Marquis, we will completely gain the upper hand. Moreover, whether public or private, we will not be accused of invading the Dayi collar, unlike the other party's occupation of yadebi collar. And... "

Hearing a slight pause in Thain's voice, someone subconsciously asked, "and?"

"Moreover, once we recapture the Dayi leader, the panda leader will be in the front threat of our army. At that time, whether we cut off the other party's logistics supply route in yadby leader or launch an attack directly on the panda leader, we can force the other party to withdraw and return aid. At this time, we can launch a pursuit from the other party's back. At that time, as long as we attack back and forth, The other party's army will be wiped out. We can not only recapture the Dayi collar, but also liberate the jedubi collar. If we speed up, we can even take back the panda collar before the other party surrenders! "

At last, Thain's face turned red, which was completely excited: "since the other party wants to invade, we'll let them know what aggression is!"
