Master Overlord - Chapter 382

In addition to the strategy of defending according to the city, Arthur is also not optimistic about the attack tactics.

He did not know whether the Duke’s decision was influenced by his war against the Barrett family.

If so, the Duke obviously only saw his brilliant achievements, not the reasons behind them.

The main reason why he was able to beat the Barrett family with a team of 100 people was the ghost faced eagle.

If there were no ghost faced eagle, he could not easily wipe out a returning enemy. Even if there was a Warcraft bow, the difficulty would increase more than ten times, and he might not choose to go deep alone.

Ghost faced Eagle means air supremacy!

This not only made up for his lack of troops and arrows, but also enabled him to anticipate the enemy first and firmly grasp the initiative of the war.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is a miracle of war that he goes deep alone and annihilates his enemies several times over again.

But Arthur knew very well that this was really just the basic operation – it would be strange if he didn’t have such a record!

He just made good use of his advantages.

The kewilt family, even if they can get the Warcraft bow from him, is likely to end up with meat buns and dogs, and stealing chickens will not erode the rice.

The reason is very simple. The Duke plans to send several attack teams to drag the wild people forward, but as long as you think carefully, you can find that it is no different from a group of hyenas on the grassland to provoke the lions!

Can hyenas stop lions?

Sure! After all, it takes time to chase and kill prey.

In short, Arthur was not optimistic about the Duke’s battle plan. It was not a disturbance, but a gift.

Although the wild people are alone and helpless, they are not few and declining.

Regardless of military strength, morale, equipment or combat skills, the knights in the North probably have the only advantage of equipment.

In addition to the above, Arthur felt that there was an extremely unstable factor in the Duke’s battle plan – the West!

Judging from all the battle plans, the Duke intended to run out of food before the wild people entered emiria county. When the morale of the wild people was low and in chaos, the army in the north and West would defeat the enemy.

There are three questions.

First, although the wild people will be slowed down in their westward advance, they will not be deprived of food. On the contrary, their morale will be high in attacking cities and land again and again. Cause more casualties, and even a tragedy like massacre.

Second, before the decisive battle comes, the northern territory will lose a large number of people and horses, which will lead to the low morale of the vassals and even give up the war that did not need their full strength.

Third, according to the strategy of defending the city, although it delayed the pace of the wild people’s westward movement, it also delayed the exposure time of the wild people’s westward movement intention.

At that time, as long as there are no soldiers under the city, how can the nobles in the West believe that the wild people are coming for them? Why send an army to fight with the wild people?

With a legend of doomsday prophecy? Or the interest demands behind the marriage? Or the noble mission of defending the kingdom against foreign enemies?

Arthur didn’t know how solid the kewilt family’s alliance with the West was, but he knew that once any alliance for the purpose of interests could not bring benefits, the alliance would not be solid.

To cope with the enemy’s attack, the position of the western border in the kingdom is very similar to that of the Shanghe collar in the north.

Except that it is still a part of the kingdom in name, it is completely an independent kingdom.

This is a problem left over by history.

According to the great scholar ilu, the reason why the West chose to marry the North was that both the prime minister and the Duke of the South wanted to change the situation – at least half of the nobles in the Kingdom owed a lot of gold coins to the West!

The nobles wanted to forgive their debts, while the prime minister and the Duke of the South wanted to take power.

Therefore, if we can’t quickly let the nobles in the West understand that the wild people are really coming for them. With the temperament of these guys and businessmen, let alone go all out to fight, I’m afraid it will take months to weigh the pros and cons.

It is conceivable that once such a situation occurs, when the Western nobles finally understand that they are willing to go all out to fight the wild people, the North nobles who have suffered heavy losses will be full of resentment.

Just think, what cohesion can such a team have?

In addition, there is another problem. Once the war is delayed and the tidal corridor is completely exposed to the sea, Gaoting will launch an attack on the west, and the West and North are likely to face a double attack.

At that time, that will be the real disaster.

Such an inference may be too bold and pessimistic, but Arthur doesn’t think it’s nonsense. As long as war can be avoided, the more dangerous and pessimistic speculation, the more necessary it is!

The tactics of attacking and harassing will have little effect. Guarding the city is to divide troops and send food, giving the enemy the chance to break one by one.

These two steps, no matter how you look at them, are not a good battle plan.

Arthur didn’t understand whether the Duke had other considerations. Perhaps he didn’t want the wild people to enter Amelia county and threaten windbreak castle, but if it was him, he would choose the opposite.

Don’t harass, don’t defend the city, don’t set any obstacles for the wild people to go to the west, and let the wild people go to the West as quickly as possible.

If you are bold enough, you can also send envoys to negotiate with the wild people while assembling the army.

Tell the wild people that as long as you do not wreak havoc in the north, we will not only have no difficulties in the north, but also lead the way for you. If you are short of food, we can also send you some food and even some property as protection fees.

If the purpose of the wild people going north is really to go to the west, as long as they are properly operated, such a proposal of being at home is very unlikely to be rejected.

Once the wild people agree, they will choose an appropriate time. It is best to wait for the wild people to approach the western border, and two groups of people will attack at the same time.

In this way, the north becomes the white knight and Savior of the West!

It can not only take the opportunity to obtain a lot of benefits, but also deepen the alliance between the two sides and avoid the troubles of war mobilization and entanglement between the two sides.

If the wild people want to go to the West and wantonly destroy and loot in the north, they agree not to be obstructed.

Immediately demobilize the local population, hit all troops in emiria county and concentrate in Fengxi fort. After the purpose of the wild people is fully revealed, they will send troops to fight with the West.

In short, do not harass, divide troops, defend the city, delay the progress of the wild people, and test the firmness of the alliance with the West.

Instead, we should concentrate our strength, take the initiative, be the leader of the wild people, lure the enemy in depth, fully expose the enemy’s purpose, be known all over the world, be the white knight in the west, and let the war break out and end as soon as possible.

This is what we should do in the face of this war!
