King’s Kingdom - Chapter 289

In the Longjian Fort, it is already crowded with people. Such a medium-sized war fortress cannot accommodate all the troops. Except for the Central Military Region and the Knights, they can only set up tents outside the city for rest.

The scale of Changjian Fort is not small, but it is not small. It was originally one of the northern defense lines of the Hilkati Empire. It was responsible for preventing the intrusion of small-scale monsters, so it was not small, but not large. .

Later, the empire split and was assigned to a local army chief with the title of earl. The army chief was later transferred to Theodosius because of the war, and was then defeated by Theodosius in the rebel war. Sentenced to a snow eagle.

Since Longjian Castle is only 30 kilometers away from the border of the Northern Empire, and it is the largest castle nearby, its status in the Lanyin Kingdom is not low. The one who is in charge of garrisoning here is a baron who leads a hundred city guards. In addition to this, there will be a large number of linked troops to serve in the slack season, so it has always been stable.

In this war against the Northern Empire, the Lanyin Kingdom is considered to be the best of all its elites, and the number of troops mobilized is larger than that in Ikopixi. Although it is said that the terrain of the Hengduan Mountains is rugged, it is not allowed to carry more materials, but It can be seen from the size of this army that this war is inevitable.

The smoke connects the sky. In the countless military tents, large and small, outside the city of Changjianbao, a sumptuous dinner has been prepared. At the end of the day’s march, the soldiers are holding bean and wheat porridge and eating mutton and pork. , In addition to cheese, there is real goat milk! This was contributed by the 10,000 sheep that had been transported to Long Sword Castle in advance.

However, because there are too many warriors, there is not much fresh goat milk distributed to no one. It is just better than nothing. What can really be supplied in large quantities is cheese, a dairy product that is easier to preserve than goat milk.

In the banquet hall of Longsword Castle, Theodosius had just changed his clothes and held a small fireworks here. Although he came later, as a host, he still had to do his best as a landlord. Friendship, treat your old husband well.

The banquet hall of Changjian Castle is not big, only about one-tenth of that of New Lanyin City. After all, it was just a fortress for war in the past, and life was not taken into consideration at all, and it was not even as good as the castles built by the lords themselves. , at least a bedroom, toilet, bathroom, etc.

The banquet hall of Longjian Castle was only transformed from a warehouse. If it hadn’t been transformed by the earl who died in the war, I’m afraid it would be even more rudimentary.

In the banquet hall, in addition to Theodosius and Beauliet Khan, there are senior officers of both sides, a total of 62 co-captains of the Lanyin Kingdom, Baron Ivar of Redan of the Varangian Guard, and the Iron Armored Paladins. The deputy commander, Sir Ledwin, and the twelve generals of the military district, a total of seventy-four people.

There are a lot fewer people on the Bollet Khan side. There are four thousand leaders and twenty-eight hundred leaders, and similar to the Lanyin Kingdom, these people do not have the attributes of tribal leaders or headmen. They are only officers, and the hussars have always practiced a centralized system.

These more than 100 people gathered together, and they did not pay much attention to each other’s seats. They sat there wherever they wanted to do. Neither Theodosius nor Beauliet Khan emphasized that the two sides belonged to different factions. .

The tables of Theodosius and Borete Khan were very empty, only the two of them. The huge table was already full of food, but relatively speaking, the variety of food was not rich and luxurious. After all, this place is just a war fortress, and it does not have the urban life attributes of New Lanyin City.

“Welcome, father, and thank you very much for your support!” Theodosius raised his glass and said to Belet Khan.

“You are my son-in-law and the husband of my only daughter. In my heart, you are just like my son. What else can I support if I don’t support you!” Borete Khan waved his hand and took a sip from the wine glass. do.

Theodosius smiled and nodded, and also drank his glass of wine boldly. Although he knew that what Borrett Khan said was pure deceit, it was the most obvious attitude of support.

“However, what you said in your letter is not detailed at all. What do you want me to do?” Beauliet Khan wanted to inquire about his daughter’s situation. Although there were letters in the past, it was better to meet and talk. Detailed, but in the end he asked the question of the war first.

“That’s right, I hope you can send some of your not-so-elite soldiers to infiltrate the territory of the Northern Empire, and then look for their supply lines, harass them, and preferably cut off their supply lines.”

“If you encounter an army that is assembling, try to harass them and slow down their assembly speed. Of course, don’t attack directly. What I want is to make them tired and restless.”

“In this way, the assembly speed of the Northern Empire’s army will be seriously slowed down, and even all of them cannot be assembled. Your elite troops will join our army to find the enemy’s main force for a decisive battle and defeat the enemy’s large army after the war. The ending is basically set, what do you think?”

This is actually a two-handed preparation by Theodosius. First, harass the enemy’s troops so that they cannot assemble, so that Theodosius can easily annihilate the opponent’s main force by fighting more and less. Can collect intelligence~www.mtlnovel.com~ to find the whereabouts of the other party as much as possible.

The second is to harass the food route. Large-scale troops will inevitably consume a considerable amount of food. There is a time difference between Theodosius and the other side in this war. From the start of Theodosius’ preparations to the official war, the other side’s preparation time is Bilan The Yin Kingdom was less than two months away, and the Northern Empire didn’t know the news of a possible war until it was close to May. There was a big gap.

Secondly, the Lanyin Kingdom has a huge stock of grain, and it can use even more grain than the Northern Empire. It is impossible for the Northern Empire to collect much grain in a disaster year, while the Lanyin Kingdom only needs one year of harvest to support such a scale. War, and it was under the condition that a lot of food was sold.

The ill-prepared Northern Empire was bound to deliver food from the rear to where their army was, which gave Theodosius a chance to make a fuss.

Different from the Northern Empire, the supply station of the Lanyin Kingdom was at Changjian Fort, 30 kilometers away from the border between the two countries. Even if Theodosius moved closer to 20 kilometers, the supply line was only opened for 50 kilometers. The food delivery team only needs to travel for three days.

But the Northern Empire is different. The border between the two countries is more than 140 kilometers away from the capital of the Northern Empire. The supply line is so long, not to mention the loss, the security has dropped a lot. The harassment of food.
