It turned out that this is the case, no wonder the king specifically ordered to reduce the number of cooking stoves during the rest these days.Then, as long as there is a sudden reduction in a larger number today, the crusade army will definitely be eager to catch up.

In fact, there have been very few casualties in the few days of fighting, and the combat effectiveness of the Knights is still at its peak.

"Your Excellency King Arthur, you are wise and mighty."

"It's nothing, I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants."

The trick of increasing soldiers and reducing stoves is a classic example of warfare. Sun Bin, the successor of Guiguzi, the master of military art, used this trick to defeat his senior brother Pang Juan, and made another great contribution to Guiguzi's succession.

The traveler felt that the time was just right, so he carried forward the knowledge of his ancestors in awe.

At this time, Lancelot and Gawain hurried over.Seeing their worried looks, Ai Hayasaka frowned. She knew that the two were in charge of garrison and patrol work, so she obviously discovered something.

"Report to the king, Lancelot and I captured a scout." Gawain cupped his hands and said, "The problem is, after interrogation, we learned that he belongs to the coalition forces of the two tribes."

Ai Hayasaka understood immediately.

"Interesting, the opponent's commander is very decisive. He predicted how many tribes I would give up, so he asked the opponent to form a coalition army to stop us nearby. Including our followers, a total of two crusades have been targeting the knights. group."

"Besides, being able to catch the scouts means that they are very close, and they will find them sooner or later. It's a bit dangerous... We can't let them form an outflanking situation, or they will be dumped."

Gao Wen hurriedly asked, "Yes, we did find traces of two crusades, and the combined strength is twice that of the Knights."

Lancelot suggested, "The subordinates think that our army's morale is high and we can fight."

"Anxin, Anxin, don't get too excited." The blond girl waved her hands, as if this was not a situation where there were wolves before and tigers behind, and said relaxedly, "Let me think of a way before we talk about it, um...is there any classic example... "

From the perspective of the traveler, this degree of crisis is not as great as the stimulus of the subprime mortgage crisis in his previous life. At that time, the market value of the New York Stock Exchange really made people want to jump off the building.I have survived from almost bankruptcy, but now it is just a small wind and a small wave.

I think that when I was a fledgling stockbroker, I witnessed how the Soros boss shorted the British pound and the Thai baht on Wall Street. From then on, the traveler felt that he would never lose his cool again.

Except for the later crossing and transformation.

Ai Hayasaka's calmness in the face of danger infected Lancelot and Gawain, and the two waited silently for enlightenment from the king's wisdom.

Sure enough, King Arthur did not disappoint his subordinates. For a moment, she pointed at the Thames, "The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. Avoid their edge and cross the river now."

I can't control that much anymore, take a gamble and refer to the strongest move in history.

Chapter 34

"Report!" Agguiwen said hastily, "According to our scouts, the Horde Crusade Army will soon reach the distance where the sound of horseshoes can be heard."

Ai Hayasaka flicked the rein fiercely, "Hurry up and cross the river immediately!"

"Everyone - March quickly!"

Since I said that I want to run away, there is no need to be ambiguous. Under the order of Hayasaka Ai, horses crossed the Thames River one by one.In winter, the water in the river is not deep, and you can easily pass it by riding on a war horse. For a while, the water splashes and the torrent advances bravely.

A full thousand cavalry marched quickly under strict military discipline, and the entire knights crossed the Thames with the sound of horseshoes.

"So that's how it is. Since then, the crusading army has lost track of us, and we can leave at night." Ageguiwen suddenly realized admiration, "Master, are we going to stay away from this river bank next?"

"The other party sent the tribe that I was going to give up, how can there be no reason not to accept it?" Ai Hayasaka's mouth curled up.

At this time, Wang could still think of a counterattack plan.Agguiwen was shocked.

"As I recall, the map depicts a parallel tributary a few kilometers away, isn't that right, Aggevin?"

"Yes."

"Okay, two rivers, one day and one night, that's enough." King Arthur, who was at the front of the team, raised his right arm high and said loudly, "The whole army—form two columns, and march toward the next river with me as the leader."

Now the biggest advantage of our army is that the physical strength and morale are at the peak after the rest, while the enemy is exhausted, we must make full use of this tilted point of the balance.Says Hayasaka Heart.

A thousand knights, after crossing the river, went directly around the place where the river crossed to the other side.Hayasaka Ai's order was indeed decisive, and the tribal coalition forces came late.The commander's decision on the spot greatly affected the situation on the battlefield. Under Ai Hayasaka's calculation, the two sides passed each other to avoid the battle.

The barbarian soldiers who followed stopped on the banks of the Thames.

The people of the grassland saw the whereabouts of Hayasaka Ai from the horseshoe prints at a glance, and a large army crossed the river easily.Without thinking, they followed the obvious two-way column horseshoe prints, all the way towards the tributary of the Thames.

After arriving, the situation has changed.

"Look, the horseshoe prints are starting to spread out from here." Said the white-haired chief among the two leaders.

"That's right, we don't know whether they have crossed the tributary at this time." The red-haired chief scratched his head, then affirmed, "However, the two-way column is indeed a standard formation for crossing the river. King Arthur wanted to cross the river continuously from the very beginning. After crossing two rivers, we can catch up."

"Why did the river-crossing formation that has been maintained change here? King Arthur is a resourceful man, and there may be deep meaning in it."

"The speed of grassland horses is faster. I can take people across the river and you stay. At worst, you can return."

"If we divide our forces, we will not be able to maintain our superiority in strength."

"But we have the advantage of mobility. As long as we know the location of King Arthur, the Knights will not be afraid." The red-haired chief said confidently, "Besides, they have already suffered heavy losses of less than 500 people."

The white-haired chief still said cautiously, "Or, let's wait here to join Earl Maltz."

"Hehe, who should get the credit for that?" The red-haired chief curled his lips.

"My lord, the strength of King Arthur is unfathomable. Even if the Knights lose more than half, it should not be underestimated... At least, we should keep in touch with the scouts."

"Well, then I'm off!"

After speaking, he led half of the troops and rushed across the tributary of the Thames, looking menacing.It can be seen that he is eager to take credit for this battle.

The white-haired chief who stayed in place sighed, but he didn't actually mention the biggest uncontrollable factor.That is, it is getting dark.

After dark, the mobility advantage will be gone, and the prairie horse has almost no experience in night combat.

"Forget it." The white-haired chief shook his head, and ordered loudly, "Everyone is tired after marching for so long, and immediately rest in place."

With an order, the barbarian soldiers got off their horses to rest one after another, and some even took off their armor because they thought it was troublesome.The adjutant had nothing to do with this free and undisciplined performance. He knew that these so-called soldiers were simply a group of robbers with no discipline at all.

"Hey, you guys, at least tie up your horses..."

"kill--"

Before the white-haired leader came back to his senses, he saw a group of cavalry fighting out by the river, and the flying battle flag was the symbol of King Arthur's personal conquest.With the sound of drums and horns, and thousands of miles of banners, the lineup of cavalry charging at full speed almost frightened the barbarian soldiers.

Got it!King Arthur is inducing us to divide our forces.

"Hurry up, regroup!"

It was already too late, when the white-haired leader was still shouting, he caught a glimpse of a purple-haired figure approaching from the corner of his eye.With a click, he lost consciousness in a whirl.

Lancelot made a decisive move and took the head of the general from the chaos. The barbarian soldiers who lost their commanders were suddenly leaderless.

"Hahaha, Sir Lancelot is indeed very skilled in martial arts."

Hayasaka Ai followed closely behind, and suddenly lifted the reins forcefully, the horse neighed and raised her body high, while she swept around with a sword in one hand.The strong wind broke out, with unparalleled sharpness, and the surrounding area was emptied of corpses of barbarian soldiers in an instant.

In this blow, Hayasaka Ai used magic power to release, and the rising power alone was no less than the shock wave of a bomb, so it was naturally invincible.The power of Heroic Spirit is unpredictable, and players still have a lot of room for development. In fact, Ai Hayasaka does not know where her limit is now.

Therefore, the battlefield is a good testing ground.

As the chief general, there is no reason not to fight for the head in person. Ai Hayasaka has overcome her psychological barrier. After all, the enemy will not give you a chance to hesitate.If you hesitate, you will lose.

Ai Hayasaka also encountered strong barbarians during her raids for a few days. They can also use magic power, and their bursting strength is second only to the Knights of the Round Table.But they are not her own opponents. After all, Ai Hayasaka will directly lead the knights of the round table to fight in a group when she meets someone who is slightly stronger, so she dare not talk about morals in the world.

In the ancient battlefield, there are many people and powerful forces, which is the truth.

Even the commander was killed face-to-face. Naturally, this group of barbarian soldiers had nothing to fear. After being beaten up by the knights headed by Hayasaka Ai, the entire army was quickly wiped out.

After the battle, the sun almost sank to the horizon, and the crimson sunset glowed on the earth and mixed with the blood on the battlefield.

"King, what should we do next?" Gao Wen asked hastily before he could clean up the battlefield.

"As I expected, the enemy has split up and pursued, and the other one should come back after seeing no results." Ai Hayasaka glanced coldly at the blood-stained river, "But there is a real crusade behind us, Take advantage of the night to retreat as soon as possible."

"Why didn't our army just catch up with them and launch a night raid?"

"Gao Wen, do you know why we managed to escape the outflank this time?" Ai Hayasaka asked back.

"What do you mean?"

Chapter 35 Critical Decisions

"Isn't this because of Wang's wise leadership?"

This is not flattery, Gao Wen's face is full of admiration, in his opinion, the dangerous and dangerous river crossing battle commanded by Hayasaka Ai is simply a stroke of magic.

"It's not as easy as you said, think about it for yourself." Ai Hayasaka rolled her eyes, "Information is not equal everywhere on the battlefield. How can I achieve such a result with my command alone? What's more, if I really know things Rushen won't almost be dumped."

"Just imagine, what if I failed to induce the tribal coalition forces to divide?"

"Ah this..."

Aggiewen on the other side laughed, "Gao Wen, you haven't grasped the true meaning of the king's wisdom. The king can't predict the future, but she can often adapt to the situation and find a solution in a crisis. This is the invincibility." place."

"My subordinate Lancelot also believes that the king's wisdom lies in his decisiveness and unique vision, so he is invincible."

Why did you suddenly start blowing up all kinds of things.

Strictly speaking, the areas where I am more confident are only venture capital and the like. Fighting wars is really a layman who talks on paper.Don't rely on me, maybe my brain won't work anytime soon.

The current situation of the traversers is that they are as stable as old dogs on the surface, but they are panicked.She looks positive only because the situation is stronger than others, so she has to catch the ducks on the shelves and go into battle in person.In fact, the traveler knows better than anyone what he is, and he acts boldly, but he is not [-]% sure that he will never make a move.

For stockbrokers and investment bank bosses who often act like gamblers, [-]% of them can be said to be very cowardly.

Ai Hayasaka's heartfelt voice now is: People's physiques cannot be generalized. I once led a thousand cavalry in extreme fear and killed seven in and seven out of the barbarian grassland.

"Be serious." Ai Hayasaka coughed, and said seriously, "War is a matter for both sides. The commander of the other side is probably not mediocre to use such an outflanking tactic. He at least predicted that I would give up the two tribes. Maybe he will target this Pick a point to launch a general attack when our army is exhausted."

"Tell the king, I may have some clues about this person." Agguiwen said, "Two months ago, there was an earl Maltz who defected from the barbarians. This person was knighted by military exploits and has some talents. So just give up The decisiveness of the troops is indeed like his style."

"Oh, it's a traitor."

"That's right, he also took away a lot of property, which may be appreciated by the barbarian leader."

Ai Hayasaka sneered, "Before the fight started, someone took the initiative to run over to be a dog, and everyone got to punish him."

"Closer to the subject, I guess the tactic of increasing troops and reducing stoves has fooled the barbarians, otherwise the tribal coalition forces would not have easily divided up. On the other hand, Maltz's judgment was wrong. He thought I gave up two tribes, but actually three .”

Earl Maltz made a total of two misjudgments, but I didn't expect him to command the tribal coalition forces to attack suddenly.There have been victories and losses on both sides, but in general I have the upper hand in this suspicion.

Interesting, it's a lot of fun fighting with people.

"After this battle, he should doubt our remaining troops. He will definitely join forces with the tribal army with a cautious attitude, and then launch a decisive battle, which may be delayed until six days later."

Agguiwen frowned, "My lord, at that time the combat effectiveness of our army will definitely decline, which is not good for us."

Now even if you want to retreat to keep the results of the battle, it is impossible, because the crusade army with heavy troops might rush into Britain in a panic, so it is better to fight to the death in this vast grassland.Behind is Britain, and there is nowhere to retreat.

"So... we want to start the decisive battle ahead of schedule." The girl said firmly.
