The soles of the shoes stepped on the hard ground covered with a layer of black ice. The air was as cold as the edge of a sword. Katerina's face was slightly reddened by the cold. She stood on the hillside, exhaled white breath, and took the attendant The telescope handed over looked at Chelyabinsk not far away.

The ground around there is covered with twisted barbed wire, stretching like a large area of ​​thorn bushes, covering the surrounding area of ​​the city.

In the city, soldiers of the Kingdom of Windsor could be seen on patrol. They occupied the Blackstone Fortress and used these ancient buildings to defend against the enemy's impact.

They are condescending, and with the Dreiser bolt-action rifle in their hands, they can effectively kill the enemy.

Since the defeat of the Battle of Tyumen City, the Kingdom of Windsor has changed its thinking. It no longer uses the classic two-row line formation, but chooses an older tactic, intending to desperately defend the land it has captured.

The civilians in the city had already moved away, and only a small number of people who did not want to leave remained. Although Katerina did not see them in the telescope, the Kingdom of Windsor, which prides itself on being civilized, would not resort to massacring the city. an inhumane measure.

When Katerina was observing the city, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Windsor in the city also spotted her. Everyone looked at each other across a plain covered with iron thorns, and no one had the intention of launching an attack.

"It's troublesome."

Onufri, who followed Katerina, said: "The enemy army has already set up their formation and plans to fight us for a tough battle. Most of our manpower is cavalry, and we can't break through the iron thorns at all. We only attack rashly. Can be a living target."

Raffle nodded: "Not only that, but they also hid the priests. If we can't solve those priests, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Windsor will become immortal monsters. We will suffer a lot if we fight close to hand."

Behind the city of Chelyabinsk is the majestic Ural Mountains. The west side is gentle and the east side is steep. If Chelyabinsk is not captured, it is feasible to choose to detour behind the enemy's rear, but the risk is too high. If you set an ambush along the road, you have to face the enemy troops in front and back at the same time. The narrow valley is a straight line, and the cavalry will become a living target.
This is what the enemy planned. The Kingdom of Windsor deployed 10,000+ troops in Chelyabinsk in the south of the Ural Mountains and Ivdjeli in the north. They were heavily defended, but there were few defenders in Tagil in the middle passage. They clearly wanted to take advantage of the The Romanov Kingdom launched a surprise attack while detouring, forming a three-sided encirclement.

More importantly, the Ural Mountains contain rich mineral resources and extremely important industrial areas. If they are not regained as soon as possible, the Kingdom of Windsor will become stronger and stronger.

"The snow on the mountain is too deep for the horses to rush up. Chelyabinsk must be taken back."

Katerina put down the binoculars and asked the soldiers to bring a map. After careful observation, she said: "As long as we take back this city, we can cross the Ural Mountains, and then we will have a smooth road all the way to the city of Mosk."

"Your Highness, how about we use the Barbarossa Empire?" Onufri suddenly pointed to the border and said, "Let's go out of the border, march quickly from the northern part of the Barbarossa Empire, make a big circle, go back to the west of the Ural Mountains, cut off the For the enemy's railway supply line, starve them for a few days first, then run away after the enemy chases us, and attack and harass us if the enemy doesn't chase us, so that they can't look at each other from head to tail, and their soldiers will definitely collapse before long."

"The tactics are good, but have you ever thought about it? The five armies and nearly 60 troops are all assembled in the Ural Mountains. We don't have enough time to detour." Katerina said: "This is a tough battle, Romano The Husband Kingdom intends to gnaw at this area, and we must fight here, otherwise the enemies of Chelyabinsk will go north and attack Duke Ivanovich's flank, and the whole body will be affected by it, we can't just go our own way."

There is not much time left for the Kingdom of Romanov. Whether it is King Paul I or Grand Duke Katerina of Moscow, they all know the truth of a quick battle. live.

In short, the Romanov kingdom must use the strongest posture to show its fist to other kingdoms, as long as it is tough enough, it can deter them.

Once you're soft, don't dare to be tough and play some dirty tricks, not to mention enemies, even women will look down on you.

"But if we attack from the front, we will suffer too many casualties." Onufri sighed: "The enemies hiding in the fortifications have more advanced weapons than us, and their range is farther than ours. Coupled with iron thorns, we can't rush at all." past"

Katerina nodded in thought. Of course she knew that a frontal attack would cost a lot, but this is also a test for an excellent general. Giving the correct command and choosing the attack method with the least casualties are all things a commander should do. .

It would be great if Father Marvy was here. He can use his strange magic to help us launch an attack. The casualties must be reduced a lot, Katerina thought.

The Siren's Tear, which can change the terrain, is definitely a big killer on the battlefield, but Levin has already entered the hinterland of the Siberian Great Plains, and it is impossible for the magic soldier to appear on the battlefield.

"We need a weapon that can break barbed wire."

Katerina thought of the steam icebreaker they were riding on. In fact, the ice floes were not much different from the barbed wire. If they could destroy the ice floes, they could destroy the barbed wire, but it was obviously impossible for the steam icebreaker to drive to land.

It is too late to invent a steam icebreaker that can travel on land now. The top priority is to capture Chelyabinsk. As one of the main battlefields, Katerina can only rely on her [-] soldiers Elite soldiers.

Each of them had fought with Peter the Great and had rich experience. The more elite soldiers were, the less Katerina wanted to see them die in front of the seemingly stupid but tricky barbed wire.

"Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome." Edward said suddenly: "I can summon the Black Fortress of the Bleeding Clan in this area, destroy the barbed wire fence, and at the same time summon my family members to fight and capture the city of Chelyabinsk. It's not difficult."

From Edward's voice, Katerina didn't hear much attitude. It seemed that in its eyes, the soldiers huddled in the fortifications on the opposite side were like a group of ants, who died with a light twist.

However, Archbishop Henry has not shown his true strength so far, and the main god magic of the Wisdom God Sect has never appeared. He exposed Edward's strength without knowing the opponent's cards.
Katerina was a little conflicted, she didn't want to sacrifice too many soldiers, and she didn't want Edward to make a move. After thinking for a while, she shook her head: "Forget it, try my plan first, and if it doesn't work, I will let you make a move later." .”

"Onufri!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Bring up the cannon and treat them to a meal of steel broth!"
