Mage Veja

Chapter 403
March and fight.

The three common points of victory are nothing more than timing, location, and harmony.

Although it is true that there is a saying that the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people, everything is not absolute. Although the eldest prince occupies the right place this time, Veija intends to use the right time to counter the right place.

It's late autumn after the harvest season.

The vegetation is dry and the temperature is dropping, which is also the time when the fog will rise. October 10th is the first foggy weather this year, and according to the prediction ability of Master Yanling, the fog is not too small.

Thick fog with extremely low visibility rose on the river surface, which meant that the war airship above the sky was useless.

Because even the Word Spirit Mage couldn't penetrate such a thick fog to accurately lock the target ship on the river.

What's more, the Word Spirit Master is not a Chinese cabbage. Generally, the war airship is responsible for locking the target with a wind mage with lower accuracy than the Word Spirit Master. This is the standard configuration of a war airship in a war.

Of course, nothing is absolute.

If the war airship equipped with the Word Spirit Mage descends to a height of less than 70 meters and conducts low-altitude reconnaissance missions, it is still easy to know Veigar's coordinates, but it is only reconnaissance.

If the war airship of a large force descends to a height below 70 meters to fight.

Then Veigar can order the mage troops to launch a counterattack and shoot down the war airship from the sky. In the end, it is not certain who will win the battle on the river. The West Bank is not willing to ruin the air force in such a place.

Solved the air force problem.

All that remained were the enemy's two navies.

Although the enemy's aviation unit was unable to participate in the battle, it still had the ability to detect the fleet. If the location of the fleet was detected, it was very likely that the route would be provided to the navy on the west bank, allowing the navy to block Vega on the river.

Veigar's ships are large merchant ships.

There is no attack device to increase the power of magic, nor the ability to defend against enemy magic attacks, and even the speed cannot be compared with regular military ships, and because of its large size, it is completely a moving target, even if the enemy is closed A single blow of the eye could bury his entire army.

If this is really a naval battle, I am afraid it will be a one-sided situation.

So how should it be?
Here I have to mention that more than a month ago, Vega ordered the Minister of Finance to build three times the number of ships with a base of 20 troops.

Veigar is planning to use this empty ship trick to confuse the enemy.

What would happen when the enemy's air force risked their lives to descend to 70 meters and detected two fleets crossing the river from the upper and middle reaches respectively?Of course, this information was reported to the Navy as soon as possible.

The Navy happens to have two.

When it is learned that there are two fleets crossing the river from the upper and middle reaches, of course, divide the troops to stop the two fleets, and Veigar can take advantage of the two navies to smash those empty ships, and bring the real army with nothing. Cross the Donbu River without injury.

At this time, even if the air force detects Veigar again, they can only sigh in relief.

Because the enemy navy running to the middle and upper reaches had no time to turn the bow of the ship and come to stop Veigar's real fleet.

This is the whole plan for crossing the river that Vega had thought up a month ago.

What's more, this world's use of "time of day" is quite superficial. It can be seen from their wars throughout the year regardless of season, and they don't have a clear understanding of these solar terms at all.

According to Vega's understanding.

In this world, for the time being, there is no precedent for anyone using thick fog to cover a war across a river bank.

For the first person to eat crabs, he can always get the greatest benefit. Without such a precedent, the chances of being fooled by the enemy will increase, and it is entirely possible that Vega will lead him by the nose.

And this strategy is not a one-off.

Even if the whole plan is put on the bright side, the enemy can only pick two out of three, and he still has a 33.33...% chance of crossing the Donbu River, unlike other generals who cross the river with brute force, the success rate is less than one percent.

It's a pity that this plan is destined to be invisible to Tennier.

If he could have seen this plan in advance and landed on the West Bank, I am afraid that the West Bank would have been scorched.

So all Veigar had to do now was wait.

Wait until October 10th.

The current time is October 10th, that is to say, there are still ten days before the plan will start.

Veigar stood on the port and looked into the distance, silently feeling the tranquility before the war, and at the same time, he was full of confusion about this western expedition.Although this plan seems perfect to him, even the perfect plan has loopholes, and he has experienced several times what it means that people are not as good as heaven.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind hit, causing Vega to tighten his neckline involuntarily.

The season of the Holy Dynasty is very different from the previous life.

Although it was already autumn in the previous life, the temperature during the daytime during the National Day was still quite high, and the Holy Dynasty had faint signs of winter at this moment, and it might be more than twice as cold by the 15th.

"The art of war goes like this: attack the unprepared, catch the unprepared."

Veigar watched the setting sun slowly being swallowed by the river, and muttered to himself: "But this time the enemy is waiting in full force, and I am not prepared at all. Is it right or wrong to cross the river rashly to march west?"

The West Bank has a main force of 50 that can be mobilized at will, including a standard aviation army, not counting the scattered troops defending the city, and has not been affected by the war.

And he had only 20 recruits, of which only 1.5 were from the Imperial Army.

The West Coast is full of talent.

At the beginning, all the senior generals and senior officials on the east bank were transferred to the west bank, and Veigar could only rely on himself.

The West Bank is waiting for work, and is playing at home again.

Vega not only played against the enemy away, but also came from afar.

It is no exaggeration to say that this enemy is more terrifying than Tanner's 40 Royal Army, and this war is not of the same order at all. Vega's overall strength is probably ten times weaker.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will win every battle.

But this time it was precisely because he knew himself and the enemy that Vega could not see the future.

And it’s not good for him not to fight this battle, unless he is willing to miss this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, give up everything in his hands, and return to the empire in despair as the No. 4 person in the dark, who will be constrained by the platform of the empire for life.

"Poultry and eagles?"

Veigar turned back and left in the afterglow of the setting sun: "Even if the poultry can find comfort, they will eventually live under the fence. I don't need that kind of false comfortable life."

When Veigar returned to the headquarters, it was already pitch black.

But as soon as he returned to the headquarters, his new adjutant came up to him: "Report to the general, the imperial envoy has requested a meeting with you."

"Emissary of the Empire?"

Veigar's heart moved for no reason, and he vaguely guessed some intentions of the envoy sent by the empire for the second time.
