Military Genius Came To Another World with Zizhi Tongjian

v5 Chapter 894: Battle of Otto (1)

   Compared with the East Route Army, the march of the West Route Army is extremely smooth.

   The city lord of all the cities encountered on the road opened the door very consciously and surrendered, and they did not dare to resist even a little bit.

  On the way, the West Route Army only encountered a city that dared to resist.

   Facing the West Route Army with more than 80,000 soldiers, the only city that dared to resist was naturally easily captured.

   After capturing the only city that dared to resist, the knights of the West Road Army also followed the order given to them by Su Cheng before the expedition, and launched a retaliatory massacre against the only city that dared to resist.

After    completely destroyed the city into a ruin, the West Route Army's next march became smoother.

  The generals of the West Route Army didn't seem to come to war, but more like they came to march in armed forces.

  Because the distance was shorter than that of the Eastern Route Army, and their advance was much smoother than that of the Eastern Route Army, the Western Route Army is now approaching their ultimate goal-Otto City.

  After arriving under Otto City, the knights of the West Route Army discovered that the city lord of Otto City had been waiting for them for a long time.

   The lord of Otto City did not choose to open the door to surrender, but chose to fight the Britannias to the death.

   The city lord of Otto City called the defenders of the surrounding city early, and temporarily recruited a group of passionate young people who were interested in serving the country, and pulled up an army of 60,000 people.

   As soon as the 80,000 troops of the West Route Army and the 60,000 troops of Otto City came into contact, several small-scale conflicts broke out immediately.

   Both parties use their own methods to assess the strength of the other party and to inquire about the other's intelligence.

   Although the city lord of Otto City pulled up an army of 60,000 people, most of these 60,000 people were recruits temporarily.

   These temporary recruits may not be worthy of being called "soldiers". It may be more accurate to call them "strong men".

   These "strong men" can only fight a tailwind, and once the situation is at a disadvantage, they will be defeated at an alarming speed.

   After these few small-scale trials, the West Route Army roughly figured out the strength of the 60,000 troops in Otto City—it was not their opponent at all.

  For this upcoming battle, the knights of the West Route Army are very confident. Unless the army on the Otto City side can come out several times, it will never be their opponent.

   After several days of contact and preparation, the two sides waited a little impatiently, as if they had already negotiated with each other, and the two armies unanimously chose to engage in a decisive battle today.

  The place of the decisive battle was chosen on the vast plain southwest of Otto City.

   The 60,000 army of Otto City’s lord hand-held Otto City’s hands lined up with their backs to Otto City.

  The morale of the West Route Army was also high. Facing the 60,000 troops in front of them, most of them did not show the slightest fear on their faces.

   The already high morale of the West Route Army generals saw that there were many people in the Hiran Army on the opposite side who didn't even have any armor, and there was a relaxed look on their faces.

   Nearly one and a half of the soldiers of the West Route Army belonged to the Uriel Knights.

These soldiers from the Uriel Knights are all "recruits" who have not been on the battlefield. They sniff the air on the battlefield and feel the more dignified atmosphere around them. Regarding the battlefield that they stepped on for the first time, They feel very fresh.

  While feeling fresh, they are also eager to try, eager to fight the Hiran army in front of them earlier, so that the skills they have developed on the training ground have room for display.

  ……

  ……

   West Route Army, the main line.

   The vast majority of the knights of the West Route Army gathered in this formation at this time.

   There is a temporary watchtower in the Honjin.

   Willie, the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, was standing on this watchtower at this time, looking at the Xilan Army in the distance.

   Looking at the Hiran army in the distance, who even had a mismatched flag, Willie couldn't help but show a relaxed and comfortable smile on his face.

   You don’t have to wait until the battle begins, just looking at the Hiran Army’s army formation that even has an uneven flag.

Willie can already guess what the scene and the outcome of the battle will be when the next battle begins.

   After retracting his gaze, Willie sighed lightly, and said to himself:

   "The lord of Otto City is also an incredible talent."

   "It's a pity that such courageous talents cannot be used by our country."

   The lord of Otto City did not choose to defend by the city, but chose to fight the Britannia army on the plain outside the city-this is actually a very clever way.

   If you choose to defend based on the city and rely on the city wall to defend, it seems that it is easier to fight against the Britannia, but it is not like this at all.

   First of all, Otto City is not a fortress, not Mukhavitz Fortress or Avalon Fortress designed specifically to defend against enemies. Otto City is just a rich and economically developed city.

   Therefore, there is no guarding weapon in Otto City at all.

   Without the help of the defense equipment, defending in the city would not be much easier than fighting in the wild.

  At the same time, the most important thing is this large army temporarily pulled up by the lord of Otto City, and most of the soldiers are temporary recruits.

   These strong men have a lot of blood, and they are basically useless except to fight tailwinds and strong momentum.

   These strong men now rely on their blood to have such a high morale.

   However, their morale is very fragile.

   Once they see the powerful combat effectiveness of the Britannia Army ~lightnovelpub.net~ and the cruelty of the battlefield, their blood will cool off at an astonishing speed.

   And their morale will naturally fall along with it.

   If a city offensive and defensive battle is launched, the fierce battle is bound to continue for a long time.

   After seeing the cruelty of the battlefield and the mighty combat power of the Britannia army, the morale of these temporarily recruited young men may be slumped in the first few days of the city defense.

   Once morale drops to the bottom, these strong men will no longer be useful.

   is not only useless, it may also be unhelpful.

   Once the help of these strong men is lost, it is absolutely impossible to defend Otto City with the remaining soldiers from various cities.

   To put it simply-this temporarily pulled up army can't withstand the long battle at all, so it can't rely on Otto City to fight the city defense.

   The city lord of Otto City had seen through this point, and gave up the defense of the city, choosing to fight the West Route Army to the death on the vast plain.

   In a decisive battle in the wild, the duration of the battle will naturally not be too long.

   If you play fast, you may decide the winner in half a day. Unlike a city offensive and defensive battle, it is not a strange thing to fight a city offensive and defensive battle for more than half a year.

   The city lord of Otto City intends to take advantage of the high morale of these recruited young men, and after completing their achievements, relying on this rainbow-like morale to defeat the Britannia army in one breath.
