Update early in the morning, please smash the ticket: ` The army marched ten miles outside the imperial capital, and Luo Di ordered the whole army to stand by.
Then he asked the herald to bring in the deputy commander Ziggy and the commander of Gordon who accompanied the army.
Before the expedition, Roddy specially asked Abbasid XI to send a general of the Guards with him, nominally saying that he was young and had little experience, and hoped that His Majesty would send a general who was familiar with the military formation to help him.
Of course, it was Nicole's idea.
Abbasid XI gladly approved and immediately sent Gordon, who had been in charge of communicating with the Tulip family since this incident, to the northwest with 2,000 royal guards, because in the eyes of Abbasid XI, he could not fully trust the young Duke Tulip.
As for the Qige commander, he was a low-level officer that the emperor had never even heard of.
In contrast, it is more appropriate to send a trusted person around you "Commander Ziggy, I have an idea, so I'm looking for you to discuss," Roddy said cautiously.
"Lord Duke" Ziggy smiled faintly: "Now that you are the supreme commander, if you have any orders, just say it" Roddy glanced at Gordon, who only smiled, didn't speak, and nodded at him.
Roddy took a deep breath and spoke his thoughts.
"I decided to divide the Wolf Tooth Army into two, led by Gordon with 10,000 Wolf Tooth Army, marching with 2,000 Royal Guards and baggage troops, but all the horses of 10,000 cavalry were given up, and I and Commander Zig took 10,000 cavalry, two horses each, and only four days' dry food with them, and quickly went straight to Watt Fortress, I calculated, in this way, we can change horses on the road, and we can rush to Watt Fortress in four days without resting for a moment."
As soon as this sentence came out, Gordon and Ziggy were shocked, and Ziggy was the first to shout: "How can this work" Then he realized that he was a little out of shape when he spoke, and lowered his voice and said hurriedly: "Lord Duke, we don't have many troops in the first place, and I'm afraid it will be even worse if we disperse."
Luo Di let out a long sigh, looked at Zige's face, and said with a straight face: "Commander Qige, do you think that even if we rush to the Northwest Watt Fortress with 20,000 people, 20,000 people will be enough, you know, now there are less than 100,000 remnants left in the Northwest Army, if you remove the injuries and incapacitating the combat capability, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness can guarantee that the six achievements are good, 60,000 people, and it is also an army that has just fought a big defeat, can you beat the 180,000 army of the Great Moon Kingdom, even if you add our 20,000, can you fight?"
Ziggy was silent for a while, then exhaled slowly, and said in a low voice: "I can't beat them, unless we bring 50,000 people, I dare to reluctantly fight with them."
"That's it."
Roddy sighed: "I thought about it all night last night before I figured this out" At this time, Andy shouted in his head: "You want a fart without me, if I didn't teach you, would you think of it?"
Luo Di ignored Andy's ghost cry, and said slowly: "We can't beat it anyway, so our little strength can only play a role in inspiring the morale of the army, as long as our tulip banner arrives, I believe that the military spirit of the Northwest Army will be stabilized, the biggest difficulty of the Northwest Army now is not that it can't be defeated, but that it doesn't dare to fight them at all, and there are 100,000 people, the previous 200,000 people were defeated by 80,000 people, and now we only have less than 100,000 left, and the enemy has gathered 180,000 troops."
The Northwest Army was even more unconfident.
As long as we have reinforcements to come, then even if there are only 5,000 people to go, the Northwest Army will know, and when the reinforcements arrive, they will think that the imperial capital has sent reinforcements, and if there is hope, they will cheer up."
Roddy looked at Ziggy and Gordon, and saw that they didn't speak, so he said slowly: "Of course, even if the Northwest Legion Army is stable, it is still impossible to defeat or repel the Great Moon Kingdom with this little strength, my plan is to hold on as long as the Northwest Legion can be inspired, even if it can't defeat the enemy, it is absolutely no problem to hold on to the Watt Fortress."
Ziggy couldn't help frowning and said, "It's okay to keep it."
Roddy glanced at him, knowing that this upright soldier didn't understand those political things, in fact, if Nicole hadn't explained it to himself, how could he have understood "Commander Qige, let me tell you, His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to really fight with the Great Moon Kingdom at all, we can't afford to fight, the Northwest Army has already collapsed halfway, we can only give in for the time being.
The distance between the Southern Army and the Southern Army is too far, even if it is mobilized, from mobilization to gathering troops, and then sending troops to the northwest, two or three months is not enough, even if the Northern Army mobilizes the Northern Army, then the Roland Continent suddenly fights, then everyone is really finished. ” The last sentence was a bit of a nondescript tone, but Roddy couldn't care about it too much, these words were taught to him by Andy last night, and he could only copy them in a hurry.
Luo Di sighed and continued: "But fortunately, the Great Moon Kingdom can't afford to fight, their current attack is just to consolidate their victory, to put it mildly, they have won this war, it is good to be able to eat the Northwest Army, even if they can't eat it, it doesn't matter to them, as long as they can guarantee victory, they will be able to gain a favorable position in the negotiations with the empire in the future." ” Roddy has gradually moved from military issues to political issues, and Zigger, a pure soldier, certainly doesn't quite understand it, even Gordon, who often messes around in the center of power in the palace, only half of it.
"So our task is to hold on to the fact that we can't let the empire be defeated again, we must stop the current declining situation, and firmly crucify the army of the Great Moon Kingdom in the Watt Fortress, the Great Moon Kingdom is an alien race on the grassland, they can't afford it, they don't have so much strength to drag it out with us, and when the time comes, they must retreat, the empire will not be too passive in the final negotiations."
Roddy carefully spoke his thoughts, and Gordon and Ziegy had nothing more to say.
At that moment, under Luo Di's order, the four brigades of the Wolf Tooth Army were divided into two teams.
Ziggy ordered one of the troops to dismount and hand over the horses, and although the young soldiers were unusually reluctant to give up their beloved horses, the Wolf Tooth Army was so strict that no one dared to speak.
Roddy sighed and ordered his 10,000 men to take dry food and remove all the heavy armor on their bodies.
Then line up and get ready to go.
Before leaving, Roddy grabbed Gordon and gave him a careful instruction.
"Gordon Commander, there are two things, you help me do the first thing: you take the remaining 12,000 people to advance, and the speed can't be too slow, but fast When you pass by the city defenders, requisition their war horses on the spot, I will give you a token, which is given to me by His Majesty, if the defenders oppose it, you can show him the token, if you still object, directly slaughter you, and after replenishing the war horses, immediately speed up to catch up, I clearly tell you, although I just said my plan, but I am not afraid of 10,000, in case you are behind, In case something happens, I have a reinforcement to count on."
Gordon laughed, took the token, and laughed: "Don't worry, Master Seth, most of your tokens are actually useless, our royal guards want horses, where do the defenders dare not show us this royal uniform, who will say a word?"
Luo Di smiled slightly, and then said: "The second thing, you must remember carefully, I have stored a box in the baggage car, with our family badge on it, it is easy to find, if I say if something happens to me, remember, it must be a situation where you are completely sure that if something happens to me, I am killed in battle, you go and take out the box as soon as possible, and burn all the things inside" "Ahh A strange smile appeared on Roddy's face: "It's nothing, it's just a skeleton, remember, this is my military order" After Luo Di finished speaking, he turned his horse's head, and with an order, the army marched The voice of the skeleton in my head was already thundering.
"I'm too vicious to rely on you, this kid" Luo Di's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "So you remember, Andy, go this time, I live, you live and I die, you also die so don't play me anymore, help me wholeheartedly haha" After that, riding horses and whips, 10,000 majestic cavalry marched towards the northwest under the sun, with flags covering the sun and swords like forests:
