The combat meeting lasted for a full hour and a half. From the peaceful discussion at the beginning, it turned into a table-fighting confrontation later on.
The nobles were divided into two groups. One group supported an immediate counterattack and launched a full-scale attack, headed by Duke Yinvanovich. The other group proposed a frontal attack and took advantage of the main force of the enemy's defense in Tyumen to send cavalry to sneak attack the enemy's rear and cut off the supply lines. , with the help of the great cold wave, they defeated the enemy, led by Gregory, the Grand Duke of Livonia.
It has to be said that the decision to eat first and then hold the meeting makes some sense. If they don't eat, where will these nobles have the strength to fight?
In the end, Katerina couldn't stand listening any more. She slapped the table, forced everyone to quiet down, and revealed her battle plan.
Her plan favored Duke Yinvanovich and advocated a frontal counterattack. After all, blindly retreating into the city would bring down not only the enemy but also them.
There are nearly 20 million refugees, and the food they need every day is an astronomical figure. The Romanov Kingdom does not have enough capital to compete with the Windsor Kingdom in national strength.
If we don't fight head-on, it's very likely that we'll end up stealing the chicken but losing the rice. The Romanov Kingdom won't be able to withstand it at first, and the situation will be terrible.
It was Paul I who determined the final plan. He did not get involved in personal grudges. After a few private conversations with Archbishop Henry, he expressed his support for Duke Ivanovich and Katerina and launched a major counterattack.
Duke Yinvanovich was appointed as the commander-in-chief in the face of danger. He immediately began to mobilize troops and generals, issued orders, and commanded five armies stationed around the city of Tyumen to prepare for war.
Two thousand artillery pieces were dragged by horses to the open area outside Tyumen City, forming an artillery position in the center. They continued to advance under the cover of the infantry regiment. Tens of thousands of cavalry spread out on the flanks, and non-commissioned officers supervised the battle.
At the same time, several other front armies were also deployed around the city of Tyumen, facing the Second Army that occupied a favorable terrain. The atmosphere was tense. Commanders kept running through the square on horseback to boost morale and arrange their troops. .
Through the telescope, Ma Wei saw the densely packed soldiers outside the city and Duke Yinvanovich hiding in the center of the position. His brows were furrowed and he felt a little worried.
The tactics used by Duke Ivanovich were classical infantry hollow phalanxes, with cavalry surprise attack and outflanking, and artillery in the center, which could retreat at any time. In an era without high-precision and large-power weapons, there was no problem. From the formation spacing and personnel In terms of deployment, it is not difficult to see that Duke Ivanovich has received professional military training, but...
The problem is that most of the soldiers in the Romanov Kingdom are still equipped with old-fashioned flintlock muskets, and the artillery is also a front-loading cannon. On the other hand, in the Windsor Kingdom, they are all Delisser bolt-action rifles and Armstrong breech-loading artillery, regardless of accuracy. Or the reloading speed...
Both sides have a gap of more than twice.
In terms of geographical conditions, the Second Army of the Kingdom of Windsor occupies a hillside, commanding a commanding height, while the Romanov Kingdom is a plain with dense soldiers. It's really a fight...
It’s not certain who will win or lose.
"The key is the priests of the Church of Wisdom. If they cannot break the magic of the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny, the Kingdom of Romanov will undoubtedly be defeated." Katerina said in a deep voice: "If this battle fails, the city of Tyumen will be in danger... "
"I see how confident Archbishop Henry is in his clothes." Ma Wei said, "I guess there must have been a way."
Mawei and Katerina did not participate in this major counterattack. Their mission had been completed. Although they failed to capture Marquis James, they destroyed the command post of the Second Army and cut off the railways of the First Army. They should have Get some time off.
No one expected that they would attack Hasha Village at 5 a.m., and Paul I had no idea about it. Originally, he wanted to let Katerina take the lead before the major counterattack, but now this plan has also come to nothing.
"The First Cause of All Realms"
Just as the two armies were confronting each other and the atmosphere was tense, an old man in a blue robe suddenly walked out of the Romanov Kingdom's position. He held a scepter in his hand and walked to the front of the formation under the gaze of countless people. In the open area, the long white beard flutters in the wind, and the clothes are dancing.
Archbishop Henry!
He glanced towards where Mavie and Katerina were standing, then looked away, his lips moving as if he was reciting something in a low voice.
A huge magic circle suddenly appeared under his feet. During the rotation, a light green light quickly passed through. Then, he raised his scepter and pointed it at the sky...
A beam of light penetrated the sky, tore through the clouds and mist, and went straight away.
"What is he doing?" Katerina frowned.
Edward's eyes flashed, staring at the beam of light rushing into the sky, and said seriously: "Astrological magic."
As soon as he finished speaking, in the dark and pale sky, without a trace of starlight, stars suddenly lit up. They were connected to each other, and an image was outlined under the stimulation of the light pillars. Then...
The projection was lowered.
The stars were shining brightly, and scorpions as tall as farmhouses fell from the sky and fell straight into the position of the Second Army. As soon as they landed, they started killing, waving their huge scorpion pincers and pinching off a soldier at the waist. , went on a rampage, and for a while the people in the Second Army's position were on their backs, screaming in agony.
The priests of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny immediately launched the Immortal Domain. The commanders shouted to calm down the retreating soldiers and let them shoot. Amidst the intensive gunfire, the bullets shattered the Scorpio's hard shell, and could pour out of the hard shell. What came out was not thick fishy blood, but smaller scorpions.
Soldiers who have been stung by scorpions will twitch and fall to the ground within a few seconds, with purple lines all over their skin. The immortal realm has removed the toxin for them, but at this time, the endless tide of scorpions has crawled all over their bodies, constantly Biting their new flesh, the painful wails of their companions almost caused the other soldiers to collapse. Only then did they realize...
Death is sometimes a mercy.
"Father! Father!
! "
The commander went to the military priest with a pale face and yelled: "Is there nothing you can do about these scorpions? My soldiers are being tortured!"
! "
The priest responsible for expanding the realm of eternal life looked at the other group of priests behind him with gloomy eyes, "It's your turn to take action."
The priests nodded, stepped forward, raised their palms, and did not use the Death Domain, but used another ring.
"Ancient magic, black mist."
The golden ring shines brightly, and under the joint urging of more than a dozen priests accompanying the army, majestic black fog spurts out, blocking the starlight falling from the sky. Scorpio, who lost the source of his power, suddenly collapsed.
The black mist did not dissipate, but floated into the sky, forming a large black cloud, blocking the sun and stars.
"this..."
Seeing this scene, Ma Wei was shocked: "Why did the Church of the Three Destinies prepare a ring to deal with astrological magic? Did they already know that Archbishop Henry could use astrological magic?"
All kinds of doubts came to mind. Ma Wei had always felt something was wrong before. Why did Archbishop Henry, who could use astrological magic, implement a non-resistance policy within a month of the outbreak of the war?
Did Archbishop Henry know that the Church of the Three Destinies had prepared magic to deal with astrological magic?
Did I predict the other person’s prediction?
Reminiscent of the Kingdom of Windsor mobilizing all its troops to attack the Romanov Kingdom without any fear of being backstabbed by other kingdoms...
Ma Wei suddenly felt that this war seemed to have been planned from the beginning.
Like a group of greedy eaters, they have already decided how to share the food before it is served.
The current chaotic situation...
I'm afraid it's due to uneven distribution of the spoils!
If that's the case... Mavi shuddered.
"New Religious Law", war, the early arrival of the Wisdom God...
His previous guess came true.
This is indeed a game, a game planned by the group of old immortals hiding behind the scenes!
According to their plan, I am afraid that the small church has no room for improvement and can only become a lamb to be slaughtered, and together with the Romanov Kingdom, they will eat them one by one.
Fortunately, there is a kingdom that breaks the rules of the game and wants to grab a bigger cake!
"I see..."
Ma Wei sneered: "What a good game of chess..."
