Chapter 15 Planning before the final battle
"There are eight letters from Flying Eagle, four of which were received six days ago, and four more were received three days ago. The contents were all given to the generals!" The eagle trainer replied immediately.
"Well, thank you, Master of Eagle Trainer." Jack said thanking and continued: "If the enemy defeated the Right Route Army six days ago, after three days of march, they could almost arrive at the location of the Left Route Army and launch an attack on the Left Route Army. If I remember correctly, there should be a letter of help from the Right Route Army in the four Flying Eagle letters six days ago, and there should also be a letter of help from the Left Route Army in the four Flying Eagle letters three days ago."
After Jack said this, everyone present began to ponder. They also heard the Eagle Trainer mention the content of the Flying Eagle's message, and naturally there was a reflection. It seemed that these two letters of help were really as Jack said.
"But, Jack, how do you know that these two letters were not fake letters from the enemy to confuse us? Perhaps they just wanted to lure our middle army out of the current marching route to rescue, and they could retreat calmly. You know, we are now on the west side of their camp, shaking them back west into the territory of Baissus!" Mitterrand, the commander of the First Division, immediately retorted.
After he said this, the officers who were originally a little shaken suddenly felt it made sense and nodded to say yes.
Jack sighed after hearing this, "Why do you always think that the enemy will escape? You must know that this is the base of the Lightning Army. They are much more familiar with the terrain here than us. Why don't they dare to fight us? If they want to retreat, they would have retreated long before we launched an attack..."
"Okay! Jack, you need not say anything!" Winter interrupted Jack's speech at this time.
"I have to admit that you are indeed good at analyzing. Although the inferences you put forward are sensational, they are reasonable. However, this battle is related to the overall situation, and we must be cautious! Now, no matter which kind of speculation is, it is speculation without understanding the actual situation. Therefore, I think it is the most important thing to figure out the situation of the left and right armies. If they are still there and have not suffered any losses, we can naturally act as planned. And if they suffer heavy losses, then we can let them join forces with us and continue to attack. I don't believe it, so we really can't find out any news!" Winter shouted sternly, and he also decided to give it up.
"I order the army's direct guards to carry out the reconnaissance mission. In squadrons, each squadron can only be divided into two groups to investigate! You must understand the situation of the left and right armies! I don't believe it, so that they can intercept and kill all those who inquire about the news!" A fierce light flashed in Winter's eyes, and he did get real fire. The continuous killing of the scout made him really a little angry.
"It's still the commander of the legion! The direct guards are all above level five, and if dozens of people are acting together, no matter how many enemies have, they will have no choice but to do anything to them, unless they are all sword saints or holy magicians!" The adjutant quickly praised Winter for a few words.
A hint of pride appeared on Winter's face, "Okay! If you don't have any better suggestions for the time being, go back and rest first! Once there is any news, I will notify everyone immediately.
Jack shook his head at this time. He could already determine that the enemy was definitely close to his army. Three days was enough for the enemy to rest and march near the central army.
"Forget it, it doesn't make sense to these people. I'd better go back and notify my third division to prepare for combat!" Jack thought secretly.
*********************************************************************
In a forest ten miles away from Lakeside Town, there were black cavalry. About 10,000 cavalrymen from the Lightning Army had gathered here and were preparing to launch the final battle against the Central Route Army of the Rock Legion led by Winter.
He defeated the Right and Left Army in succession, but had few casualties, which made the Lightning Army full of confidence in this last battle from the commander of the Legion to the soldiers.
"General Diaz, are the troops ready?" Roger asked.
"Don't worry! I paid great attention to letting the soldiers rest along the way. I believe they can support a fierce battle! Now wait until the infantry arrives tomorrow and you can launch an attack immediately!" Dias patted his chest and promised.
"Well, but this battle is much more difficult than the previous two games, because the enemy not only includes three divisions, but also the direct guards of the Rock Legion and their magic regiment. I guess the strength of the middle army is equivalent to the sum of the left and right armies." Roger said with a serious expression.
"Haha, but we are not bad! First of all, our troops are now more than the enemy. The cavalry and infantry are combined, and the total strength is close to 40,000, while the enemy has only more than 30,000. Although the enemy has magic regiments to help with the battle, our magic regiment has not allowed them to take action in the first two battles, so in terms of magic confrontation, we will not have the problem of not being able to support mental power and magic. I believe we will not be at a disadvantage." Diaz said with a slightly contemptuous smile on his face.
"Hehe, and we have one of the biggest advantages over the enemy, that is, we have the best military commander on the mainland!" At this time, a silver-ling laughter turned. Roger and Dias looked at it and it was Princess Anne and Fonseca.
"Annie, don't say that! You know, I haven't learned to command wars. Now I'm just going to drive the ducks to the shelves and I'm holding them up. How can I compare with the two generals Del and Diaz..." Roger said humbly.
"Hey, Brother Roger, what you said makes me feel even more ashamed." Dias sighed from the side, "I have been in the army for thirty years and have been in command of war for twenty years, but I am not as good as Brother Roger, you a seventeen-year-old boy who has never learned to command warfare and has become a monk halfway through. I really feel ashamed!"
"I'm just a lucky person - it's just a lucky person!" Roger quickly explained. He still knew the principle of being a low-key person, especially among a bunch of foreigners who were not very familiar with.
"Deputy Commander of the Army, Mr. Roger! Don't be humble anymore! The three of us division commanders are still waiting for you to issue orders to attack." Simon walked up to him with a smile and said. He is in a good mood now.
The First Division commanded by Simon is a pure cavalry division. There were few casualties in these two battles, but they were not small inflated. If all the surrendered cavalry could be reorganized, his division would probably be expanded to 15,000 people.
"Okay! Let me talk about my combat concept!" Roger ordered an aide to spread the map on the ground, and then explained: "The army from the middle of the enemy has been in the lakeside town for three days, but has never been willing to attack our army camp, which is only thirty miles away from them. Analysis: Winter should be a very cautious person. He will not attack until he gets the exact news from the left and right sides. This brings some difficulty to our battle. Although Lakeside Town is just a small town, the two roads that can enter the town are very narrow. If we insist on attacking from the front, there will be heavy casualties. What's more, this attack will be faced with the enemy's magic regiment..."
