King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 95 Geography of the Alps

Charles nodded and continued to order: "Send someone to notify Carlos stationed on the mountain and tell them to come down. Although the soldiers on the mountain did not directly participate in this war, they persisted for more than ten days and restrained the Silver Fox Knights. It is also creditable, and they are counted in eating meat at night.

In addition, tell Derek the Tauren to let the Tauren reclamation team speed up and arrive here before tomorrow, receive the 37 carts of grain, and then start the reclamation work immediately. "

37 carts of grain, estimated to be [-] to [-] jin, if mixed with sawdust, weeds, and wild vegetables, it can be eaten for ten days and a half months, and horse meat is not very delicious. If soldiers can’t finish eating, the remaining horse meat It can also be boiled into broth to supplement nutrition for the tauren.After all, only when you are full can you reclaim wasteland.

"By the way, Lord Priest, I heard from the surrendered Silver Fox Knight that there is an infantry regiment on the way to support the Sunset Fortress. Are we going to be stationed here to reclaim the wasteland?" Henry the Tauren said.

Charles took out the map and observed that Sunset Fortress was located at the northern pass of the Alps, surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the terrain resembled a herringbone.Noxus is now at the outermost edge, next to the Korimian steppe, which is to the left of the herringbone.

This infantry regiment set off from the Silver Fox Territory, which naturally took the internal route of the Alps. This route is protected by mountains on both sides, and can go directly to the Sunset Fortress.

"Master Priest, it is said that the infantry regiment of the Silver Fox family has 500 people. Moreover, there are garrisons in the Sunset Fortress. According to the surrendered Silver Fox Knight, they met in the Korimia prairie before attacking Carlos. I saw a group of centaurs. In order to prevent the centaurs from attacking the Sunset Fortress, two hundred knights from the Silver Fox Knights returned to the Sunset Fortress. These two hundred knights are veterans. If we join the infantry regiment of the Silver Fox Family, we can fight well. Is it?" Henry the Tauren had been a chieftain and led soldiers, especially fighting against the Tusk tribe all the year round, so he knew a little about cavalry. A simple cavalry regiment and cavalry coordination are two completely different concepts.

When encountering the centaur cavalry, Charles knew that Peter told him at the beginning, but now he doesn't know whether Peter said that the priests of the flying claw tribe agreed to send troops.

According to Old Mark's information, the Silver Fox Leader has sent two infantry regiments in total. Now one of them has appeared in the Sunset Fortress, and the other one must be going in the direction of the valley plain. It seems that Baron Silver Fox's plan is to use a two-pronged approach and divide the troops to attack Winter Fortress, this is exactly what Shire expected.

But it's not that Shire is so predictable. After all, there are only two ways for Silver Fox to attack Fortress of Winter. Even if he uses the exhaustive method, he can only get three choices.

"My lord priest, what are we going to do next, do we want to withdraw the troops?"

"Don't worry, just wait. Find out the nearby terrain first, and then make plans." Charles stared at the map, and the geographical knowledge about the Alps kept flashing in his mind, but this knowledge was all on paper. Not really, not necessarily, you still need someone who understands the Alps.

……

The Alps, the top of a certain mountain range.

In the tent in the middle of the camp, Carlos happily looked at the messenger in front of him.

The messenger said, "My lord Baron asked you to go down the mountain to celebrate."

"The baron won?"

"Yes, big victory."

Carlos nodded happily, and then summoned two tauren centurions, a human centurion, and twenty centaurs, as well as carpenters, coolies who felled trees, and a newly built longbow, a beehive came down from the mountain.

As soon as his feet stepped on the thick soil at the foot of the mountain, he felt a sense of security, but before Carlos could feel happy, an envoy came over, saying that the baron wanted to see him.

Carlos then followed the messenger to the baron's house.

This is a simple log cabin. As soon as I approached the house, the first thing I saw was the tall back of the baron, followed by the maps hanging on the surrounding walls. Carlos squinted his eyes to observe the map carefully, and found that it was the Maps near mountains.

Charles turned his head and looked at Carlos: "Do you think this map is accurate?"

Carlos stepped forward and observed it carefully. After a while, he answered an irrelevant question, "Master Baron, I have never seen such a standard and beautiful map."

"That is inaccurate, where is the problem."

"Lord Baron, I don't know about other places, but I still know something about the western line of the Alps." Carlos then stepped forward and put his finger on the map, "Look, Lord Baron, this is our location , to the left you can enter the Korimia prairie, and to the northeast you can go to the Sunset Fortress of the Silver Fox Family."

"Well, keep talking."

"There are many mountains in the Alps to the east, but my lord, the mountains here are not as continuous as the Blackstone Mountains. They are broken and messy, with many passes, valleys and the like." Carlos saw the encouraging eyes of the baron , continued: "And there is a river to the south of Sunset Fortress, called the Als River. On both sides of the river is a long strip of flat land. There are often serfs farming on the river bank, but there are not many people, because there are rugged hills on both sides, and the Alps mountains of mountains."

Charles nodded, the Als River is like the meat stuffing in the meat sandwich, and the Alps are like the outer shell, wrapping it up.This terrain advantage is really enviable to him, to the envy of Cold Winter Fortress.

The silver fox leader only needs to set up a fortress at the northern pass, and then set up camps in other valleys, mountain tops, and mountain trails. The points and lines can be combined to form a defense line against the orcs.

Moreover, there are waterways, and it is easy to support. There are villages along the Als River, which can also provide strong men and food along the route.

But on the other hand, there is only one route for the infantry regiment that the Yinhu family goes north to support. There are 500 of them, and it is impossible for them to leave the flat land and go to the rugged mountains. This is a march that is naturally determined by geography. Routes and maps are always the closest companions of generals.

"Carlos, can we cross the mountains from the right and cross the Ars River?" Charles pulled out a rightward arrow on the map, and the arrow pointed to the south of the Sunset Fortress. The upper reaches of the river can block the northward route of the Silver Fox Family Infantry Regiment.

Carlos shook his head first, and then nodded again, "My lord, there are mountain roads that you can walk on, but the mountain roads here are rugged and narrow, and a small-scale team can slowly climb over, but a large-scale army is very difficult, and people will definitely die. .”
