He clapped his hands arrogantly: "If it's possible, then let's send elite scout brothers and golden eagle messengers to pass the message to Brother Huyan in two directions, and ask him to mobilize troops and horses as soon as he receives the message to start the march. Matters of the Roman State.
The matter has come to this, there is no need to delay, map. "
"Got the order!"
The soldiers on both sides immediately took out the bamboo tubes behind their backs and spread a huge map on the spot in front of Zhang Kuang and other generals.
Zhang Kuang and the others immediately squatted next to the map and silently examined the terrain and routes on the map. After a while, Zhang Kuang tapped heavily on the map.
"Brothers, we have been in the Great Food Country for about a year, and we have also experienced the winter in the Great Food Country. Although there is heavy snow over the Merovingian City in the Frankish Country, the Baghdad King City in the Great Food Country is now as warm as Early spring weather.
At such a time, it was the best time for Huyan Governor to use a large number of troops.
Especially since the Kingdom of Rome and the Kingdom of Dashi are adjacent to each other, it would only take half a month at best for the Huyan Warlord to lead his troops to attack from Baghdad in the Kingdom of Dashi to the King of Tantine in the Roman Kingdom.
It would take at least twenty-five days or even a month for Acrylic and his troops to withdraw from the Frankish state to the Roman state.
What I said is that this is under the premise that the road is clear and suitable for marching. If the wind and snow are included, it is estimated that it will take five to ten days for Acrylic and his 50,000 troops to return to Rome.
In this way, as long as God bless us, the Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, and the Huyan Warlord can receive our golden eagle message in time, then the Huyan Warlord can completely take a detour to the royal city of Rome and lead his troops to ambush the Roman legions in the middle of their retreat. The little guy Acrylic was caught off guard.
You must know that the Roman legion under Yacli's command was mainly infantry, but the soldiers and horses under Huyan Governor's command were mainly cavalry.
Under the current circumstances, if the acrylic army could be ambushed and caught off guard, the cavalry encircling and killing the unprepared infantry army would be a one-sided massacre.
Coupled with the help of gunners on the side with infantry cannons, taking down the Roman legion will definitely minimize the damage to our soldiers for Brother Huyan.
But this is just my guess for a good place. After all, the current weather has greatly affected the golden eagle's ability to identify directions. No one can guarantee whether the letter can reach the hands of the Huyan Governor in time!
This is my idea. Do any of you have any different suggestions? "
Yeruha pondered for a long time, took off the dry tobacco bag from his waist, lit the tobacco leaves and puffed out the smoke silently like he had just done.
After the pot of tobacco was burned out, Yeleha looked at Zhang Kuang with eyes filled with tears: "Commander, you said it yourself. This is just our unilateral conjecture. Whether the letter can be delivered to Brother Huyan in time depends on An unknown number!
If the message cannot be delivered to brother Huyan in time, and if we continue to use troops with this idea, then it will not be brother Huyan who leads the troops to ambush and catch the Roman legion under Acrylic by surprise, but brother Huyan and his commander. The soldiers and horses will be cut off by Acrylic, who has already fled back to Rome.
If the escape route is cut off, the supply of food and grass will inevitably be limited, and once the food and grass cannot be supplied in time, big trouble will occur!
If Brother Huyan wants to break out, he will inevitably have a head-on confrontation with the Acrylic Army. If he has insufficient food and grass, he will have a head-on confrontation with the Roman state. Then the losses of our soldiers will be worse than those after the Acrylic Army returns to the Royal City of Rome. The attack will be even more disastrous.
After all, in the two situations of sufficient food and grass and shortage of food and grass, the steps that the general must consider in using troops are often completely different.
I have to say that this is a pretty good plan, but there is also a huge gambling element in it. If the bet fails, Brother Huyan's losses will most likely exceed our expectations.
The general feels that given our absolute advantage, it is better not to take risks.
After all, even if we attack the Roman city head-on, Brother Huyan still has 30,000 soldiers and horses from the Dashi Kingdom to act as the vanguard of our soldiers, which can completely minimize the losses of our soldiers.
Since we have a sure-fire solution at our fingertips, why should we risk it and pursue that perfect plan?
Therefore, I think it is more appropriate to let Brother Huyan lead our soldiers steadily and gradually capture the Roman Kingdom.
Commander, what do you guys think? "
A group of generals retracted their gaze from the route on the map and looked at each other, not knowing for a moment whose strategy was better.
What the commander said makes sense, and what the deputy commander said also makes sense.
Both of them are thinking about their own interests. Which one has better ideas? It’s hard to make a decision all of a sudden!
Zhang Kuang once again took out his dry tobacco bag, filled it with tobacco, and lit it against Yaleha's pot: "Brother Yale, your plan is indeed more reliable than my plan, but it also reminded me of a new idea."
"Oh? I would like to hear the details."
"Brother Yale, Brother Yale, you mentioned all the shortcomings in the plan I just talked about. I don't deny that I took it too naturally.
Since the drawback of my plan is whether our message can be delivered to Brother Huyan in time, then under the premise that none of us can guarantee it, we can settle for the next best thing to achieve a perfect result. .
For example, delaying the speed of the Acrylic Legion's withdrawal to Rome and buying time for Brother Huyan's actions.
It has been some time since the Acrylic Legion fled from the Frankish country after their successful sneak attack. Our army, carrying a large amount of equipment, is indeed unable to keep up with them.
But what if our army only pursues the pursuit with lightly armed cavalry brothers? This should not be difficult for the experienced soldiers of our Western Expedition Army, right? "
"Hiss—the commander-in-chief means to attack without attacking, just to delay their march?"
"Yes, we only need to deploy 5,000 elite cavalry, which is enough to delay the retreat of the 50,000 soldiers of the Acrylic Army.
At that time, not only can Brother Huyan win time to ambush the acrylic army midway, but he can also cooperate with Brother Huyan to carry out flanking attacks.
Thousands of cavalry can cover thousands of people.
Even though the five thousand cavalry of our army cannot break through the formation of the Acrylic Legion's fifty thousand troops, it is not a big problem to wrap them in the battle formation.
As long as our five thousand light cavalry can trap the soldiers and horses of the Acrylic Legion, then the heavy cavalry and artillery under Brother Huyan can treat these barbarians as living targets and gradually kill them.
If the infantry artillery shells fall into the dense infantry phalanx, the result is needless to say.
There was a big bang with a big bang.
It's much easier to attack infantry in the wild than to attack infantry defending a fortified city, right?
Didn't he seize the right opportunity? At this time, I, Dalongerlang, couldn't pursue them immediately because of the weather? Then we just go against the grain and don’t act according to common sense.
If they dare to poke my big dragon in the back, I must let them know how many eyes Lord Ma has.
We must let these barbarians see how I, Da Longerlang, accomplished what they thought was impossible despite all obstacles.
Only by being able to do what ordinary people cannot do can we live up to our emperor’s high expectations!
Three years, within three years our Western Expeditionary Army must conquer all the barbarians in the Western countries at one stroke.
If these barbarians could obey Wang Hua like the Dashi Kingdom, they would just obey the orders of my great dragon.
If you dare to go against the will and commit treacherous and backstabbing villainy like the Roman Empire, then it won’t be a big deal if one or two small foreign countries are missing from the Great Dragon Kingdom’s map of nations.
To borrow the words of our junior nephew Jiang He, those who disobey the power of my great dragon will be slaughtered, no big deal. "
Zhang Kuang put away his tobacco pouch and glanced at the generals in the palace calmly: "What's the matter, you killers are still afraid that your shirts will be stained with the enemy's blood?"
The generals were stunned for a moment, then grinned, and the fierce and bloody aura emanated from their bodies from the inside out.
"We are willing to open up territory for the Great Dragon and conquer all directions. We are willing to die for His Majesty the Emperor, even if we die.
People are buried in the loess of the world, so why return their bodies wrapped in horse leather? Long live the great dragon, long live my emperor. "
"We are willing to open up territory for the Great Dragon and conquer all directions. We are willing to die for His Majesty the Emperor, even if we die.

Zhang Kuang stood up with a solemn expression, took out the tiger talisman from his wrist guard and held it in his hand.
"Ke Yan, Xiong Kaishan, Ning Chao, and Jiang Lei obey orders."
"The end will be here."
"I order you to immediately dispatch five thousand elite cavalry from each of your own battalions, bring enough food, grass and things to keep out the cold, and go forward with light armor to chase down the Acrylic Army."
"We take the order!"
"The rest, except Deputy Commander Yeruha, immediately went to each battalion to mobilize sophisticated troops, food and supplies, and fully assisted Keyan and his four men in chasing down the bandits."
"We take orders."
"Act immediately."
"We take our leave."
After the generals left, Yeruha looked at Zhang Kuang with a complex expression: "Brother Zhang, you have become much more murderous recently!"
Zhang Kuang sneered twice, took off the bearskin cloak behind him and laid it across the corpses of the three Longwu Guards officers on the ground. He touched the eyes of the twenty-three corpses one by one, Zhang Kuang's voice was slightly hoarse.
"If these barbarians are not completely frightened and subdued, today there will be twenty-three brothers, tomorrow there may be two hundred and thirty brothers, and in the future there may be two thousand three hundred, twenty-three thousand, Even more brothers in life and death will encounter bad news.
Most of the brothers are still young guys! They are in their prime, and there are still great years waiting for them in the future! I don't want to see this happen again.
What happened this time can be regarded as a wake-up call for us. From now on, I would rather kill an enemy country than kill one of my soldiers. "
Yeruha looked at Zhang Kuang's determined expression in silence, sighed and nodded, patted Zhang Kuang's shoulder gently and walked out of the hall.
"Count me in."
