In front of Verdun, a defeated noble army is desperately trying to return to the city to ensure their safety.
After seeing these noble troops and the cavalry chasing behind them, the guards at Verdun did not think too much about opening the city gates to let in their compatriots.
He has three thousand people here and thinks he can hold on.
At the same time, there are several nobles in the army below, and he can't leave them alone...
.
However, just as he opened it up, Gawain's knight also unmasked and started.
The 400-[-] troops rushed into the city on the corpses of the defeated soldiers. The other party wanted to close the door immediately after finding out that the problem was wrong, but at this time, Gao Wen had already rushed to the city wall, and he was the fastest to solve the person who closed the door. .
and stay there alone.
In less than a moment, Verdun was in his greatest predicament.
With the city gate wide open, Lucifer personally rushed into the city with the remaining troops.
After a period of fighting, the defenders were killed and the soldiers were basically wiped out.
In just a few hours, Lucifer had already occupied Verdun, which also meant cutting off the retreat of the Maginot Fortress.
After occupying the city, Lucifer immediately sent Gawain out of the city and waited for an opportunity by the predetermined forest.
Once the opponent has an army back to attack the city, he can complete the internal and external attack with himself.
The arrangement on Lucifer's side came to an end temporarily.
While Lucifer was planning, Lengomiad also conducted several tentative sieges in her name.
However, instead of attacking directly, she moved forward, making the appearance of preparing to attack the city.
And every day, longbowmen will be arranged to shoot arrows on the fortress under the cover of shield.
Such an attack wouldn't have many... casualties, but it did.
That night, Lungominiad was still there: calculating the time of Lucifer's entire plan, when the guards brought Robin Hood in.
"Hello, sir."
Lungominiad already understood something when he saw Robin Hood's presence.
"Master Marshal, according to the king's latest order.
The king should have successfully captured Verdun by now."
"Now"
"I parted from Wang a day ago.
He asked me to report this to you.
With the previous record of the king, the [-] people on Veral's board could not stop him for a few hours.
If there were no accidents, Verdun should have fallen into the hands of the king."
Although the army in Lucifer's hands is only more than [-] people.
But even so, the opponent couldn't stop it.
Judging from the previous methods of Lucifer's siege, Robin Hood speculated that Verdun could not stop him all morning.
"Great! The first half of the plan is now largely complete.
Next, let's see what the French army in Fort Maginot will do.
Thank you for your information, ser."
"You're welcome! It's an exaggeration to say, from Calais to Verdun in seven days.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined such a crazy high-speed combat technique."
Before that, most generals had the conventional idea of attacking a city and defending a city.
But Lucifer hardly defended the city this time, and instead took the main force all the way north.
Take Verdun as fast as possible.
Although this may make Lucifer's rear unstable.
But the problem is that the one who panics first is definitely France.
Because of Lucifer's appearance, they may feel that the entire South has fallen.
But in fact, what Lucifer had won was only about one-third of the southwest side of France, and he hadn't defended much.
"But it turned out as Wang predicted, there was no decent resistance at all from the south.
I will call a military conference immediately."
"Understood, I'll pay attention to the changes in France."
Robin Hood nodded, brought the faceless king and planned to leave.

Britain's main battle room.
It was still night, but all the generals who could come have already come here.
Only the supreme coach Lucifer was qualified to order such a meeting. Originally, they thought that Wang finally thought of a countermeasure, but in the end they didn't see Lucifer.
Only Lengomiad sat in the position of coach, and while they were still: strange what happened, Leah on the side told what happened now.
She is Lucifer's right hand and the most trusted person.
Therefore, although her words were too shocking, everyone chose to believe them after they reacted.
"So that's the case, I thought it was a bit strange before, why did Wang never show up, and Gao Wenqing and Lancelot didn't see anyone.
It turned out to have sneaked to the south."
Tristan finally understood how the strange feeling had come about during this time.
Most of the generals here have almost the same expression, just when they thought that Wang had come up with a countermeasure, Wang had already finished the countermeasure.
Fighting from Calais to Verdun in seven days, if the other party was not their king, they all thought it was a joke.
Under normal circumstances, considering the timing of the siege and the arrangement, even if everything goes well, it will take nearly a month.
They never thought that Lucifer was just... going north with all the cavalry.
"My brother is too careful, he didn't tell me such things.
Obviously I am better at naval warfare than him."
Gareth said with an angry face.
"Sir Gareth.
Gao Wenqing didn't know where he was going until he left with Wang."
Leah stood up at this time and explained the reason.
"My compatriots, the situation before us is very clear.
When the king captured Verdun, he had cut off the retreat route and material transport station of the Maginot fortress.
The next move of the French army is our key focus."
Lungominiade directs the conversation to the most important part at hand.
"Did the king leave an order?"
Siegfried thought for a while and said.
In his opinion, with Lucifer's personality, if there is such a plan.
Would not fail to imagine France's reaction.
The fact is also certain.
"Yes! According to the speculation left by the king, once France received the news of the fall of Verdun.
They have only two options. First, send people to attack Verdun with all their strength.
Second, go out of town to fight with us."
Lungomiad mentioned two possibilities that Lucifer had speculated before.
Verdun was Maginot's back road and a supply station.
If it is lost now, if it is not recaptured, Maginot's army may starve to death after a while.
As for the second point, it's easy to understand.
Rather than... wait to die, it is better to fight.
"If it's the first point, it's...simple, they sent people to counterattack.
We'll just have to send people to follow behind the troop they're out of town too.
At that time, once they can't attack, they can't enter Verdun.
You can bury this army."
St. George speaks out its own solution.
Maginot Fortress was built against a mountain, and there was a huge mountain forest to the north, which was not suitable for marching.
The other three sides are plains. If the other side sends people to counterattack, if they see it on their own side, they can also send people to follow.
If the other party continues to send people, then the other side will continue.
In the end, it may evolve into a battle, which is the second result.
"Should we support the king in advance?"
Arian Heard thought for a while and said.
"No! Since the king has made a decision, we don't need to worry about it.
If France does not send men, and we send men first, then in case they have a decisive battle.
We can fail.
