~: 1289 Accidental reinforcements (2)

After hesitating for a while, Grand Duke Cavie of Normandy got sharp eyes, and suddenly saw hundreds of vultures hovering in the air in the group, seeming to think of something, he laughed in his mouth and said three good words.

"Okay, okay, a silver que hill, everyone will come back with me, and the army will be stationed in Baiqiu!"

Three days later,

The silver sparrow hills covered by heavy snow, and the hills that rise and fall like waves, make people feel the magnificent terrain at a glance. Under such natural beauty, anyone will feel a sense of powerlessness,

Reposti was standing on a high ground in Ginch Hill. The eyebrows of the wandering eyebrows were beautiful. There was a slight worry between the eyebrows. The 20,000 Normandy army advancing to Ginch Hill was stopped three days ago. The white mound at the entrance of Yinqueqiu poses a posture waiting for support.

It was a little unexpected to make Reposti, who was preparing for the final decisive battle in Silver Sparrow, but felt in the sense that he lost the 10,000th forward cavalry with the highest maneuver, and the orthodox squeeze tactics that the Normans wanted to rely on was no longer difficult. continue,

There are only two options left,

First, disregarding everything and forcibly leading the rest of the army into Yinqueqiu, fighting against the expeditionary army that had already built a defense line in Yinqueqiu. This is very unfavorable when the striker is destroyed and the morale of the whole army shakes. Compared with the Norman army with low morale, the morale of the expeditionary army has also reached its climax since the landing because of the victory of the Battle of Silver Sparrow Hill, which was originally diffused in the expeditionary army. With this great victory completely transformed into the desire for a new victory, the jīng spirit of the soldiers of the expeditionary army became more and more like a real imperial team.

The second is to choose to stop the attack and choose a favorable terrain to block the activities of the expeditionary force. This is the correct approach. The so-called local advantage is reflected here. As long as you stop, you can have the opportunity to mobilize new reinforcements from all over the body. When it comes, these kinds of materials will be quickly added in. As the strength continues to increase, the Normans will eventually complete the greatest strength of strength,

And now it is the coldest winter. Normans with local advantages should not worry about supplies and food. The longer this confrontation lasts, the worse it will be for the expeditionary forces. The supply of tens of thousands of people, plus the rescued Saran German slaves, the number of people has reached about 40,000, and the food consumed per ton is calculated in tons. If all are transported through the navy, it is an astronomical number.

In order to support the expeditionary force, the navy has mobilized a large number of 70 ships, accounting for two-thirds of the naval attack fleet. However, even if this is the case, the transport ship will be safe all the way from the center of the sea. Toros traveled back and forth, the fastest speed also takes nearly a week, time and this cruel winter is becoming the biggest dilemma for the expeditionary force,

"What should we do now? It's obviously unfavorable for us to continue to stay like this!" Deputy Commander Jaglins came from behind the line of defense and carried the snow that fell last night,

The red eyes are like a rabbit, obviously also in the same confusion. "According to the food we brought this time, plus the food that was recently looted from the coastal villages, we can persist for no more than 4 days. After 4 days, if the transport fleet is still unable to arrive as scheduled, we will fall into a situation where there is no food to eat! Even if the fleet arrives as scheduled, we must transfer one-third of the limited strength back to transport food."

Yaglins glanced at the snowy hills in the distance, and his voice stopped before saying, "The Norman scouts have been paying attention to us. If it is difficult to cover up on a large scale, I am afraid they will use this Opportunity to launch an attack on the defense line! The terrain of Yinque Hill is not good for us, now they are hunters, and we are prey! They are waiting for our hungry jīng to be exhausted!"

"Yeah, this is what I feel is the most contradictory!"

Reposti glanced away from afar, sighing with concern and said, "His Majesty Falcon had specifically pointed out to me when he issued the combat command, "The core of the battle of Normandy lies in the fight for time, who can control the time , Whoever controls the initiative of the entire campaign"" I was given this instruction at the beginning, and I only understood half of the words. I think that the time in the mouth of His Majesty Falcon should mean that we should attack quickly. To force the main force of the Normandy people to complete the decision to fight with us in order to weaken the opponent's advantage in the local battle, but now I suddenly realized how wrong I am." Oh? Isn't it wrong? "Yaglins asked with a puzzled face. According to his understanding, His Majesty's sentence should have this meaning, so they made a battle plan to fight the Silver Sparrow." Of course not!" After an embarrassing bitter smile, he looked at the rolling hills in the distance and slowly said, "Your Majesty's mouth, the so-called time is the meaning of the dominance of this battle.

Under the adverse conditions such as the cold winter and the distant sea that the empire cannot take care of, each grain of our food is difficult to transport. The eastern coast of Normandy is hard frozen soil. The soil that can grow crops is very limited, and military food can only It is transported from a distant country, and it also needs to pass through Antoros, so it is difficult for us to fight with the war like the Normans in Salland.

The barren land, the long ocean, our long and inefficient supply line is the biggest weakness, and now the Normans clearly understand the trick before us, they just need to stay on the spot and draw more troops from the back, just wait We are exhausted and run out of food. Even if we don’t take the initiative to attack the Expeditionary Army, we will die out of battle. This arrangement completely disrupted our well-planned battle of the Silver Sparrow Hill. Not only in a moment, let the Expedition All the hard work of the army for a night of hard work is in vain! And let us crucify ourselves in this silver **** mound "" So to say, we can only give up the silver **** mound! "Yaglins’ face has changed. Although he doesn’t want to admit it, the current predicament undoubtedly proves the correctness of this reasoning.

Reposti shook his head and said, "No! If we give up Silver Sparrow Hill, we will be in a dangerous position. The opposing army only needs to press steadily as before, and everything we have achieved will be lost!" There are enemies, there is the sea behind, and 20,000 expeditionary troops want to survive one-tenth, it will be an unreachable luxury! ""Guard can't keep, can't withdraw, can't we wait here to die?"

The **** Yalins punched an indignant punch on the cypress trunk next to him. Large snowflakes fell from the salsa above. A small tree fork hit Yalins’ helmet, making a clear sound. Yalins Si subconsciously shrank his head. It was found that it was just a small tree fork. With a heavy foot, the tree fork broke into two pieces. Then he looked up and saw Reposti's strange face, his eyes staring at the broken one. Numerous branches" What's the matter with you?" Yagrins asked angrily. "It's nothing, but we don't seem to need to die!" Reposti took a deep breath and raised his head. His deep eyes moved from the branches. Open, there was a slightly infiltrating smile on the corner of the mouth, "Really!" There was a smile on Yaglins' face, and he said with some worry. "Are you sure you are not suffering from speculation?"

"Oh, I lied to you!" Reposti gave a choking cough, squatted down, picked up two stomped branches from the ground, held it with his hand, only exposed the front part, and reached In front of Jaglins, Ning said, "Come and draw one, choose one of the two!"

"What do you mean?" Yagrins asked, puzzled.

"Whoever gets the short one will go back to transport the grain!" Reposti's face became more and more serious, and said coldly, "the other one is responsible for defending the Silver Quench!"

"This is what you said?"

Jaglins scowled angrily, looking at the serious Reposti, with a fierce urge to kick, this guy likes to take advantage from the beginning to the end, he picked up the two wooden branches by himself Yes, that root is long, that root is short. Naturally, it’s clear in my heart,

"Come on, choose one of the two, and see which of us is more lucky!" Reposti thought, frowning, and pouted at the branch again, saying, "In fact, those who stay will not necessarily die, maybe The other party may miss the opportunity because of hesitation! This is no way, come on, anyway, it is not necessarily that you stay."

"If you don't smoke, then I'll smoke first! Rest assured, I will take care of your family anyway, so you don't have to worry too much when you get there..." Seeing Yaglins is still unmoved, Rui Posti said to himself, extending a hand to make one of the branches, that is the one on the left, which is obviously shorter than the one on the side in terms of size and length

Just when Reposti's hand was about to touch the branch, Jaglins was suddenly unable to cover his ears, and pulled out the other one sharply, looking at the short branch that was only the length of his thumb, the corner of his mouth laughed and said, "You thought Am I going to be fooled by you? Friends for so many years~lightnovelpub.net~ You have a few flower bowels I don’t know yet!" "Well, you won!" Reposti stood up in frustration, will be another A short tree branch with only one head quietly received in his pocket, said in his mouth, "Tomorrow will be withdrawn as planned, but before that, our defensive position must move forward, otherwise it will really be nailed here!" ""Move it earlier?" Yagrins' face froze for a moment, "I'm going to push the defensive line to the mountain pass!" Reposti smiled, and took a circle on the ground with his feet, and nodded with his feet. And said, "This is our position. It is low on all sides and high on the middle. If the mountain pass is not restricted, the scouts of the Normandy people can clearly see our every move. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to delay!" "You did this by committing suicide!" Yagrins’ face changed, and he was also an excellent commander. Of course he knew that once the Normans found that the defensive strength was wrong, they would probably launch a full attack." In two days, I will retreat step by step to where I am now! "Reposti's mouth showed a sly smile and said with confidence." If you have encountered an ambush on this mountain road, the enemy gradually retreated and accompanied There is some inexplicable force-what would be the first thing you think of when the situation is drastically reduced?" "Ambush!" Yagrins said suddenly. "Yes, we only have to gamble!" Reposti said sternly. "This can delay at least 2 days!" "After those 2 days? It will take 3 days for the grain to arrive here!" Yagrins took a deep breath. What about, of course, waiting for you to save your life "Reposti glanced at Yagrins with a twisted expression, revealing a sudden god, and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a person. You owe me money and I don't change it. I still die!"
