Arthur''s battle plan was simple - besieging Wei and saving Zhao.


    If Xiangguo town fortress is a front battlefield and front line, all he has to do is become a sharp knife and insert it into the enemy''s rear.


    It is not wise to use the front and the Barrett family''s hard steel. Even if we can successfully stop the enemy outside the fortress, the war will just fall into a stalemate. However, due to the strength gap between the enemy and ourselves, the long-term stalemate is obviously unfavorable to our own side.


    Over the past year, Shanghe collar has become more and more brave in the war, and the development of the territory is booming, while Cumbria and zuogya collar are getting worse and worse.


    In particular, the Cambrian leader first experienced a sudden change in the castle, the count of libron campes died, and the Castle Knight lost more than half; Then there was the intra territorial struggle provoked by milt, resulting in heavy losses in the north of the territory and almost stagnation of production in the whole territory; Then, not long ago, Taylor West led the army on the river, resulting in less than 100 available knights.


    In addition, in order to weaken the strength of the two neighbors, Arthur also asked the ghost faced eagle to attack from time to time.


    As a result, the current Cumbria leader can''t fight a lasting war at all.


    Not to mention anything else, according to Arthur''s knowledge, milt gathered up enough food from all over the country, but it was only enough for the front line to last for a month.


    A month, the newly sown wheat has just fucking heading!


    Therefore, even if Ted Barrett did nothing, he would only be stationed outside the Great Wall for a month. The front-line soldiers without food would either rely on Lingfeng fort''s food supply or starve to death.


    As for the active attack, it is definitely looking for death.


    Therefore, Arthur must find a way to end the war quickly. Otherwise, not only Cumbria, who has just implemented the reform, will understand the chaos, but also the development of Shanghe collar will be delayed by the war - he doesn''t want to be dragged to a standstill by a protracted war.


    Hard steel is impossible to end the war quickly. There is a great disparity in the strength of the two sides. Even the Knights of Lingfeng castle can''t fight with one enemy against five.


    Of course, he can also use Warcraft and explosives recklessly, which can definitely beat Ted Barrett to death. However, so far, this is still the last choice.


    Therefore, after some analysis of the conditions of the enemy and ourselves, Arthur finally chose the tactics of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao": by attacking the enemy''s rear stronghold, he forced the enemy on the front line to withdraw.


    ……


    In the dry open space, the orange red fire dispersed the darkness of the wilderness. Arthur and others had arranged horses, started with hot water and ate the dry food they carried with them.


    In order to facilitate the battle, Arthur and others only carried food for two days. Their weapons were only swords, bows and arrows, and they were not wearing heavy armor.


    In addition, considering the lack of arrows, Arthur also asked Dafei to fly a large number of arrows with his men, so as to supplement weapons as quickly as possible after the attack.


    While eating food, the Knights chatted happily. Their voices sounded from the bright fire and disappeared in the boundless night around.


    The night is very good tonight. The clear night sky is cloudless, and the bright stars are like salt particles covered with black cloth. The warm night wind makes people''s cheeks comfortable, and the night scenery around is also magnificent.


    After eating the bread, Arthur got up and moved. After looking at the bright moon above his head and the mountain peak in the East, he took out the map and leaned against the fire.


    Seeing this, Thorne said, "Sir, at our speed, we can reach the berten family farm at noon the day after tomorrow."


    The berten family is a relatively weak vassal of the Barrett family. The family farm is in the south of this wetland.


    "It''s not necessarily." Arthur looked up and said, "look at the night tonight. It should be a good weather tomorrow, but it''s hard to say. If it rains, we can only move forward slowly. If the rain is too heavy, we have to find the woods to take shelter from the rain. In addition..." Arthur ordered a map. "This game was played many years ago. It may not be accurate. Here is a wetland again."


    When the Anduo river flows through Xiangguo Town, it is divided into two by the peak in the East. The large river flows south through Bedouin Town, Shuangshui Town, liwali town and other places, and finally flows into the blue lake.


    The small one, after flowing for several miles, broke into a piece. Together with several other smaller rivers, it turned the whole southern part of Cumbria into a wet grassland at the border with andoria county.


    No one will set foot on this wet grassland except runaway slaves and pursued prisoners. I don''t know how many years ago the map was drawn. Although referring to the mountains and forests in the west, it won''t make people lose their direction, but if they are careless, the horses will step into the shoals and silt where the water converges.


    If it rains unfortunately, there is no decent road.


    Therefore, in this desolate wetland, Arthur, who can communicate with Warcraft, became the best navigator.


    "I hope it won''t rain," said Lipton Pompeii anxiously. "Once we are delayed, Xiangguo town will be a little more dangerous."


    "There''s no danger," retorted Grice sily, swallowing his last bite. "Unless it rains only here, the army of the Barrett family agrees to slow down and delay the attack."


    "Food is also a problem!" Leighton added. "I don''t know if bank can hold on. I''m really worried about those kids."


    "Hey, I didn''t see you care about them so much when you were in the barracks!" Grice smiled and joked, and then said, "don''t worry, it''s a test for them, and with bank Trish, he''ll command the battle, but just keep the fort. That guy is experienced!"


    Upon hearing the speech, Leighton pursed his lips and cursed, "shit, it''s better not let me catch Ted Barrett and his vassals, or I have to let them swallow their family flag!"


    In the barracks, although Leighton always had a black face and was frightening, he took great care of his first army soldiers who grew up day by day.


    "I''ll just say it casually. It''s also worth worrying about. Rainfall is a matter of small probability." Arthur said to them with a smile while collecting the map. "But it''s a good proposal to eat the flag. It''s better to eat the flag pole together - family honor, always in mind!"


    "Shame is always in my heart!" added Lido, laughing.


    Put the map back into his bag. Arthur is going to continue talking, but the ghost faced eagles who are out foraging have returned and asked to land.


    "Bogu, Rhett!" Arthur shouted up ahead. "The ghost faced eagle will land immediately and let everyone watch the horses!"


    "Before they could make a sound, the knights who heard Arthur''s voice began to act one after another.


    In order to facilitate the journey and battle, Arthur and others didn''t even bring tents, and the wild night is not safe. In addition to the cold, they also need to beware of wolves, brown bears and other animals.


    Therefore, during the night break, Arthur made all the ghost faced Eagles form a circle. In this way, it not only ensured safety, but also protected against the wind and kept warm. If someone felt cold, he could drill under the wings of the ghost faced eagle and sweat!


    The only thing that is not very good is that these war horses have been together for two days. They are still very surprised by the ghost faced eagle. They can stop for a long time.
