From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 242 The Army Staff Officer【4K】

Hansen immediately offered an olive branch to Ryan.

These gains are not important to him, after all, he already has the first skill to capture the fortress, he is just afraid that someone will make a fuss about it.

Now, returning these credits to Ryan will not only solve the problem, but also win over the "talent" Ryan, and make him even more determined in the future. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness." A smile appeared on the corner of Ryan's mouth. He didn't want to side with the third prince, it was just a stopgap measure.

As the governor, the third prince was caught by the whole army.

If he wanted to get along well, he had to be his "insider", otherwise he would be left on the bench in the fortress like the old Viscount, or he would be treated as cannon fodder.

According to Ryan, in order to take down the Silver Wolf Fortress within the specified time, Hansen ordered the troops to launch a death squad-like attack.

A legion that was the main force was directly disabled.

Hansen "encouraged" Ryan a few more words, and the two ended their secret conversation this time.

The next day, Hansen really reported the battle achievements that belonged to Ryan, and even exaggerated.He himself took the lead, and the second hero's position was given to Ryan.

This is a lot of military merit, and it is quite necessary for Ryan. The resources exchanged for military merit last time have greatly improved the overall strength of the territory.

After winning the Silver Wolf Fortress, the expeditionary force entered a state of rest.

According to the third prince, the marshal who won the Silver Wolf Fortress was very happy this time, and decided to add more soldiers to them to carry out more difficult tasks.

This is a good thing. After all the battles, their losses are not small. If they don't replenish their troops, they will have to retreat to the rear to rest.

The current battle situation in the entire Kuwait snowfield can be described as a mess. Both sides are continuously increasing their troops. At present, the total number of people fighting on the battlefield has exceeded 70.

It is said that a new batch of expeditionary troops has been organized in China, and they will soon go north to join the battlefield. The number of this army will not be less than 10.

Of course, this army will definitely not be an elite army like the Frontier Legion. In fact, half of the 40 people Tistan has put on the battlefield are private nobles.

Although the fighting power of the noble private army is much lower, they are superior in numbers, and they are currently fighting a war of attrition.

Ryan and the others waited in the Silver Wolf Fortress for nearly two months before the replenishment of soldiers arrived.

The good news is that they have a total of more than 5 people. The bad news is that they are part of the newly formed domestic expeditionary force, all private troops of nobles.

There are troops of baronies, troops of viscounts, and even troops of knights. The composition of more than 5 people is extremely complicated.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness is worrying.

Judging by Ryan's standards, it is at most the level of a second-rate army, which is far worse than that of the Frontier Corps.

But anyway, something is better than nothing.

Except for some troops led by the viscount who were reorganized into new legions, the rest of the small troops were reorganized into several original legions.

And Ryan, who has been regarded as "one of his own", has naturally received special care, replenishing his Ninth Army to 1 people, which is almost the number of two legions.

Ryan is not picky, after all, he even likes the servants. No matter how bad these noble private soldiers are, can they be worse than them?
After the soldiers arrived, they conducted a one-month running-in training before receiving the latest order from the marshal...

"What? Go deep into the hinterland of Andis to buy time for the frontal battlefield?" Ryan looked at the latest order from the marshal sent by the third prince, and almost died of anger. What's the difference between this and death?
Don't look at the fact that the expeditionary force of the Kingdom of Tistan is advancing triumphantly on the Kuwait snow field, it is all a superficial phenomenon.

The Kingdom of Andis is not weak, otherwise it would not be possible to become Tistan's strongest opponent.

Their strength is far more than what they show.

Currently fighting against Tistan is only the Andis noble army on the snowfields of Kuwait. Their west is facing the invasion of orcs, and they have retained a considerable part of their strength to enter the orc battlefield at any time.

Even now, these powers have not been used, because compared to the Kuwait snowfield, the hinterland of the kingdom is more important.

But if their troops attack the hinterland of the Andes Kingdom, it will be different. They will definitely become the target of public criticism, and the Andes Kingdom will explode in an all-round way.

At that time, the 10 troops could not give Ryan a sense of security.

Ryan immediately cleaned up and walked towards Hansen's camp. He must figure out why he gave such a stupid order.

Inside the big tent, Hanson seemed very calm. When he saw the knight bringing Ryan in, he waved his hand and said, "Viscount Black, you came just in time. Come and help me see the road map."

Ryan was not in a hurry to speak, and stepped forward according to his words, only to see a more detailed map on the table, with many marching routes drawn on it.

"Your Highness, is this?"

"This is me and our next course of action. From the Silver Wolf Fortress, go straight into Andis' abdomen, and hit Bear Eagle City."

Hansen pointed to a highlighted red marching route on the map, and said to Ryan with a little excitement.

He couldn't help but be unhappy. After all, if this strategic plan can be completed, his contribution will not be much less than that of winning the Kuwait Snowfield.

At that time, he will be able to return to the kingdom in style, and compete with his cowardly and incompetent elder brother for the crown prince's throne.

He believed that as long as he made enough military exploits, his father would definitely reconsider the issue of heirs.

Ryan looked at the eye-catching red line, and said with an ugly face: "His Royal Highness, Xiong Ying City is one of the main cities of the Andes Kingdom in the west, and it will cross three counties along the way, and there is also an earldom.

Although we have an army of [-], it is almost impossible to fight all the way through. "

What he said was quite euphemistic, and he didn't directly say that Hansen was wishful thinking. It was the hinterland of Andis Kingdom, not the back garden of his home, so you can go as you please.

As far as he knew, there were tens of thousands of defenders in Xiongying City alone, and the difficulty of attacking it was no easier than laying down a fortress.

Not to mention the need to clean up the aristocratic territory along the way, there are at least hundreds of thousands of noble private troops, they only have 10 people, isn't this going to give away their heads?

Hansen sat down on the side, smiled and said: "I know what you mean, but you can think of the Marshal and Your Highness who you can think of.

You may not know that the orcs have increased their troops to the Kingdom of Andes. At present, they are under a lot of pressure on the border, and they have dispatched another 20 troops to the orc battlefield.

And these nobles in the west are the main targets of recruitment, and their strength has been weakened by at least half. This will give our army an opportunity to take advantage of.

As long as we act quickly and command properly, it will not be a problem to attack Xiongying City within two months. As long as we occupy Xiongying City, we can attract the attention of Andis Kingdom.

At that time, the marshal will launch a full-scale attack on the Andis army on the front line of the Kuwait snowfield. If the plan goes well, the expeditionary force will occupy the entire Kuwait snowfield within half a year.

At that time, the marshal will choose to continue to attack or retreat at the right time, but no matter what, we will be able to retreat unscathed. "

After finishing speaking, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably again, and he seemed to have seen the people cheering for him in the capital.

Ryan really didn't know about these news. If his source of information was reliable, then this matter would really be possible, and the feasibility was not low.

Thinking about it, if the success rate is too low, it will not be the third prince's turn. He is here to be gilded, not to die, and the task assigned to him must be based on safety.

Since the marshal dared to ask the third prince to carry out this task, then he was quite sure, but he was worrying unnecessarily.

only……

Ryan stared at the map intently. He always felt as if something was overlooked by them, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"What the hell is it..." Ryan frowned, the feeling lingered in his heart, but he just couldn't remember it for a while.

"Viscount Black, what are you looking at? Is there anything you want to say?" Seeing that Ryan was in a daze, Hanson was immediately displeased, and his tone became unfriendly.

Ryan immediately came back to his senses, and seeing the expression on the third prince's face, he immediately understood that there were some things that could not be said at this time.

Although I feel that something is wrong, but there is no evidence after all, speaking out will not only have no effect, but will also arouse Hansen's suspicion and disgust, and the gain outweighs the gain.

He suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said: "This is the first time I know this news, I was overthinking it, you have considered it very comprehensively, I have nothing to say."

Seeing what Ryan said, the displeasure on the third prince's face finally dissipated. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "If that's the case, then hurry up and get ready. The army will leave in three days."

After returning to the camp, Ryan called Allen, Evans and others, and spread out a map again. He believed in his intuition, and there must be something he hadn't noticed.

He drew the exact same marching route as Hansen, and then told Allen exactly what Hansen had said.

Everyone gathered together to start a discussion, but after arguing for a long time, they couldn't come up with a reason. No matter how you look at it, the feasibility of this plan is very high.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the corner: "Orc, it's an orc!"

Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, but to their surprise, it was a young man who spoke, and it was Evans, the army staff officer.

"Orcs..." Ryan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had caught something.

"Yes, my lord." Evans walked up to Ryan, pointing to the orc battlefield marked on the map.

"Tell me in detail." Allen said thoughtfully.

"The orcs have invested 40 troops on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Andis, which has surpassed the combat power invested in the Kingdom of Tistan.

This shows that there are orcs in the Kingdom of Andis who attach great importance to Andis, which even surpasses the Kingdom of Tistan. Although we don't know why, we can draw the conclusion that the orcs want a quick victory.

But the resistance of the Kingdom of Andes was very strong, keeping them out of the border defense line. If the orcs wanted to break through, they had to find a breakthrough from other places.

And this breakthrough is Bear Eagle City. Although Bear Eagle City is six hundred miles away from the orc battlefield, because of its special strategic location, once the orcs take Bear Eagle City, they can use it to radiate the entire western region.

They can not only attack the Andes army in the west from inside and outside, but also intercept the grain road.

On the western border, the Kingdom of Andes hoarded nearly a million troops, and the daily consumption was an astronomical figure, requiring continuous support from all over the country.

And Stormwind City near Bear Eagle City is a very important transportation hub, and most of the transportation of grain and grass materials cannot be separated from Stormwind City.

If you want to take down Stormwind City, you must first take down its outer barrier, Bear Eagle City. Once they succeed, it will definitely be a disaster for the defenders on the border of Andis!
If our army captures Bear Eagle City before the orcs, it is very likely to be besieged by the orcs, and it will definitely suffer heavy losses.If it's after them, that's okay, there is hope of escape. "

"Impossible, that's six hundred miles, there are so many noble territories along the way, even if they can fight all the way, it will take time.

But at that time, Andis also realized that he only needed to send out a force to wipe them out. Which commander would issue such an order? "

Immediately, some military officers questioned Evans' statement, and it was well-founded.

Faced with doubts, Evans said calmly, "Your Excellency, what is our plan?"

"Of course it is to take advantage of the emptiness of the enemy's troops and use the method of blitzkrieg to raid Xiongying City." The officer said without thinking.

"We can do this, why can't the orcs do this? They just need to find a way to cross the border, and those noble territories that are empty of troops can't stop their soldiers at all.

Only tens of thousands of people are needed, and they can take Bear Eagle City and Stormwind City before the Andes army arrives. With the city wall as their backing, they will quickly gain a foothold.

They only need to defend Stormwind City, and the supply of food and grass on the front line will be halved. In half a month, the morale of the army will collapse. When the orc army is all over the place, Andis will be finished. "

"However, our plan does not include the item of attacking Stormwind City, the reason is that its defense is comparable to that of a fortress, and it has a large number of garrison troops.

You have to know that no matter how tight the front line is, Stormwind City is the most important thing to defend, and it is absolutely impossible for the defenders to be transferred away, so our plan is just to take Bear Eagle City and deter Stormwind City.

I don't think tens of thousands of orcs can take Bear Eagle City and Stormwind City at the same time, it's unrealistic. Another officer retorted.

Evans smiled and said, "What if they have a way to break through Stormwind City? I don't think the orcs will not have such ability, it just depends on whether they are willing to pay the price."

Suddenly, a crazy idea flashed through Ryan's mind. Orcs really have this method...
