278. It's Aggression! 【2nd Update】

William's strategic layout is to let Sean, Rena, and Cecilia lead the First Cavalry Regiment as the vanguard, and strive to occupy Yederbyborg in the shortest possible time, and then William will lead the three forces of the Thunder Lion, Cecilia Guard, and Pitch Black Wings to converge here, and then use this as a transit point to divide the troops into two routes, one way directly to Hierro City, and the other way to establish a front-line combat base at the border between Yederby and Tinchiin, and Yedeby Fort will become a logistics base. A logistical supply route to the Panda Territory is formed, and it is the Steelwings of Reserves that keep this line safe.

As for the Iron Wings Regiment, the main purpose is to contain the forces of the Tinchiin Command; The other force responsible for occupying Hierro City will also arrive in the reserves of the Iron Wings, and immediately after the handover is completed, they will go to the forward bases in the Yedby and Tinchiin Territories.

And all these strategic directions must be completed within four days.

But what Sean and the others didn't expect was that because of Rob's territorial development policy, it was completely tantamount to speeding up the invasion of Sean and others in disguise, and the entire battle plan was almost two days ahead of William's prediction.

On the morning of the third day of the war, two camps had been rapidly established at the junction of the Tinchiin and Yederbi territories, and they were still more than thirty miles apart from each other. This is a little tactical adjustment that William made later, and its main purpose is to lengthen the defense line led by Tinchiin, after all, the total strength of Sean's attack this time is less than 20,000, and if you want to face the 60,000 army led by Tinchiin, you naturally need to use some tricks.

If you include the Iron Wings of the Dayi Territory, these are the three arrows aimed at the Tinchiin Territory.

After all, the defender is no better than the attacker, and as long as the territory borders on each other, the attacker can choose the offensive position and target at will. However, the defender can't do this, because the larger the territory and the more cities and towns there are, the more areas that need to be defended. And if the enemy has many targets and does not repeat them, then the defender will need to stretch out the line of defense longer.

And under the limitation of troops, once the defense is elongated, this means that the thickness of the defense line will become thinner.

Just like now, Tinchiin has 30,000 private soldiers, but Domingo must dedicate 10,000 men to guard the various cities and villages in the territory to prevent Sean from sending small troops to infiltrate and destroy the rear, so in fact, he can only use 20,000 private soldiers. It's just that there are three directions that these 20,000 private soldiers need to defend, and on average, there are only more than 6,000 people in each direction, compared to Sean's three arrows in this regard, there is almost no advantage at all.

Merely. In addition to these 30,000 private soldiers, Domingo also had a Second Cavalry Regiment with a size of 30,000.

But it was clear to everyone that this force was not Domingo's private, but belonged to the Kingdom of Dabion, so Domingo could mobilize this cavalry unit to assist in the defense. But he couldn't fully devote this force to the defenses of the entire realm. Therefore, the biggest role of these 30,000 people is actually to rush, rush and harass - but with William's current strategic layout. Domingo's 2nd Cavalry Regiment was left with only one reinforcement.

At this moment. Located in Hasting's Manor, an enraged Domingo has smashed everything in the study that can be smashed.

In the face of such an angry Domingo, the other Hastings family members in the study did not dare to speak, and their eyes fell on a map in the study.

This map was drawn improvised, and because of the rush of work, you can still see a lot of rough rough edges. And many of the drawings on the map are not particularly detailed, and only a few outlines can be faintly seen, but they are much better in terms of strategic points than in other places. Obviously, even if it's in a hurry. But the surveyor also knew the true role of the map, so he did not dare to be distracted by the real big problem.

Now, there are a number of red and blue flags planted on this map, the most of which are blue, and there are only five red flags, located in three places, one on the left and one on the left, and only three in the middle. If Sean or William were here, it would be obvious that the place where these five flags were planted was exactly the three camps set up by William, so the meaning of these five flags would be self-evident.

On the left is the Steel Wing, on the right is the Thunder Lion, and in the middle is naturally the Cecilia Guard, the 1st Cavalry Regiment, and the Black Wing.

"How dare they!" Domingo's irritation was not without reason.

When the nobles of two different countries have a dispute with each other, or even a war, it is usually a dispute between the lords of the two countries, unless other allies join in to cause a larger war. But in any case, there will be one of the most basic guarantees, that is, other territories cannot be encroached upon, even the territory of enemy allies cannot be encroached upon at will, and even if the territory is lost, it can usually be regained through compensation afterwards.

This guarantee is protected by the oldest laws of nobility and is not allowed to be violated by any nobleman.

Even if Sean now owns the Dai Territory and the Kiraf Territory, these two territories are actually the Kingdom of Dabiang, and Sean still has to hand over part of the taxes of the territory to the Kingdom of Dabion every year, and he is only a temporary replacement for these two territories. As long as the Kingdom of Dabion is willing to pay compensation, then these two territories will eventually be returned to the Kingdom of Dabiang, of course, this must be three years later, and now Sean has only occupied these two territories for a year.

All these are unspoken rules in the aristocracy, and any nobleman must abide by them.

But now, Sean has directly occupied Yederbyburg, and has taken Baron Yederby into custody, and also taken the city of Hierro, which has completely violated the unspoken rules of the nobility.

"He's an invasion!" Domingo let out a roar, "He's not even a noble......"

"He's already a nobleman." It was Sean who interrupted Domingo's roar.

Only this son, who was valued by Domingo, dared to interrupt Domingo's words at this time, and no one else dared to touch Domingo's moldy head at this time.

"What do you mean?" Domingo turned to look at his son.

"He's a baron now." "This is already a formal aristocratic system, so he sent troops to fight us this time. It is completely in accordance with the law of aristocracy. …… Of course, I think you should also know that many times the ancient law of nobility is only relative to people who are close in strength, and for those who are strong, the law of nobility is not binding at all, and even if we attack Sean for encroaching on Yedby Territory now, the other party has a complete excuse to refute it. ”

Hearing Sain's words, Domingo's face was still unwilling, which could be seen from his clenched fists: "What the hell is that guy Moens doing, he was completely invaded by Panda so easily. ”

"Baron Yederby can't be blamed for this." Theon shook his head. "This time we were too careless. ”

Speaking of this, Sain saw that everyone's eyes were on him, and he cleared his throat slightly before continuing: "The other party has issued a declaration of war a long time ago, but we have not paid attention to this declaration of war. Instead, they attack on the grounds that the other party is not a nobleman at all. But at this time, in fact, we should find a problem that we have overlooked. The lord of the Panda Lords already had a foundation of this magnitude. It's easy to become a nobleman, even if it's just a baron, but it's also a member of the formal aristocracy, so the war order is just as valid. ”

Hearing Sain's words, everyone present finally came to their senses and showed a sudden look.

But Sain saw the faces of these people. But he sighed slightly in his heart, he knew that the Hasteen family had been smooth sailing for too long, so that these family members already had a complacent, so no one had carefully considered the problems that might arise next. And although he had thought about these things seriously. However, in the last meeting, he was interrupted before he could finish his words, and no one believed his reasoning at all.

At this moment, Sean knew that the Hastings had begun to decay.

But it was impossible for him to say these words directly, because although he knew that he was Domingo's son, his current identity was not a member of the Hastings family at all.

"This lord of Panda is even smarter and more cunning than we thought." Sein shook his head, clearing those unrealistic thoughts and troubles from his mind, "Sending troops after obtaining the status of a baron and sending troops before becoming a baron are two different concepts at all. He first issued a declaration of war order to us as a non-nobleman, with only one purpose, that is, to paralyze us, because the identity of a pioneer knight has not appeared on the continent for a long time, and we all know that it is impossible for any lord to let go of a pioneer knight at will, because each pioneer knight symbolizes countless resources. However, the Marquis of Tonis was very bold and directly made this lord an official nobleman, so both the lord and the marquis were far more troublesome than we imagined. ”

"What do you mean...... then," a member of the Hastings family asked.

"We can't wait for help." Without even thinking about it, Sain said, "We have to take the initiative!" Maybe now the Nugus family will definitely send troops to reinforce us, after all, that young master really wants to kill Lord Panda, but here's the problem! Hearing the word "question" aggravated by Sein, everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, but Sein didn't give everyone time to digest and react, and said to himself: "I don't know if you still remember the Mordeg Territory that was usurped by the Marquis of Tonis a year ago?" ”

Everyone was still thinking, but Domingo was still the first to react, he walked to the desk with an arrow step, waved his hand to sweep away all the things, took out the territory map of the kingdom of Dabiang, just glanced at it, and his face changed instantly: "This place ...... Strategically located! ”

Hearing Domingo's words, the faces of everyone present changed.

"Yes, it's a strategic location." "This territory is like a fishbone stuck in the throat, it didn't matter if it was on Dabiang's side before, but now that this territory has fallen into the hands of that marquis, then all the four surrounding territories will face the threat of war from her." …… However, these are not the most important things, the most important thing is that it only takes ten days to enter the Dayi territory if it is a rapid march from this territory. ”

Domingo's pupils shrank, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"And a few days ago, there were rumors that the marquisess's fierce general, Vivien. Michelle had already left the territory, and it was on that day that Panda led his troops out of force. ”

Hearing this, everyone present had already fully reacted, and Domingo said with a shocked face: "This is no longer a declaration of war and a dispute, but a naked invasion!" This is a conspiracy of the Duchy of Lane! ”

"Aggression, perhaps, but at least not yet." Sein shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"Now that lord is already a baron, with the same official status as us, if we continue to wait for the support of the Nugus family at this time, then they can also wait for the support of the marquisess." Sean said in a deep voice, "Let that marquis join this war as an ally, not to mention that we have the support of the Nugus family, even if we drag the entire southern nobles into the water, our territory will be swallowed up by the flames of war, and even if we win the war, it will not benefit us at all." ”

"And what do you mean?" Domingo asked.

"Take the initiative." Sain pulled up a blue banner and planted it next to the red flag on the left, "We must take the initiative to attack, and attack the Dayi Territory first!" With no allies on either side at present, we have an absolute advantage in our forces, as long as we concentrate on attacking the Dai Territory and cutting off the possible support of the Marquisess, then we will have the upper hand completely, and whether it is public or private, we will not be blamed for encroaching on the Dai Territory, unlike the other side who is now occupying the Yedbi Territory. And ......"

Hearing a slight pause in Sein's voice, someone subconsciously asked, "And?" ”

"Moreover, once we recapture the Dayi Territory, then the Panda Territory will be under the frontal threat of our army, and at that time, whether it is cutting off the opponent's logistics supply route in the Yedbi Territory, or directly attacking the Panda Territory, we can force the other side to withdraw its troops and return to help, and at this time, we can launch a pursuit from the opponent's back, and at that time, as long as the front and rear are flanked, the opponent's army will be completely annihilated, and we will not only be able to recapture the Dayi Territory, but also be able to liberate the Yedbi Territory, if our speed is a little faster, Take back the Panda Collar even before the other side surrenders! ”

Speaking of the worst of the end, Sein's face had turned red, which was completely excited: "Since the other party wants to invade, then let's let them know what aggression is!" (To be continued......)
