Chapter 681: On the Eve of War

Leaving the makeshift command room, Solandale found the officers who had been reorganized and assumed the command mission, and explained his tactical intentions to them.

There is nothing wrong with the tactics of alternate evacuation itself, purely depending on how well they are executed in actual combat, there will always be miracles if they are executed well, and no matter how good the tactics are, they will not have an opinion on this.

In the plan, Solandale divided the existing soldiers into three troops, each of about 7,000 troops, and she would personally lead one of them on the first round of post-break missions, and the other two would cover the retreat of civilians and establish blocking positions at designated locations to alternately evacuate.

Without further ado, after the task was arranged, Solandale asked everyone to set off, and she came to the soldiers of the first post-break army, saying, "Our compatriots have begun to evacuate, and the burden of the first round of post-break tasks will be on our shoulders. I need to tell you very seriously that this will be a bloody battle, because last night the enemy broke through the frozen fortress and captured a lot of siege equipment, which can hardly withstand a direct blow from the siege engines due to the defensive strength of the inner walls. ”

"So, we can't all hide behind the walls, there have to be a lot of people who leave the walls to fight. Fortunately, General Larsen was prepared for a rainy day, and built a large number of trenches and tunnels in the city very early on, and I am sure everyone is familiar with its layout and structure. ”

"We need to send people to use those trench tunnels to carry out guerrilla tactics, on the one hand, to deplete the enemy's living forces, and on the other hand, to prevent the siege equipment from approaching the inner city walls, and to delay the time as much as possible."

"We have 7,000 people here, and I will divide them into two groups, 5,000 of them will leave the walls and go into the trenches to fight, and the other 2,000 will be on the walls for long-range strike support, and as a reserve, ready to take over the wounded."

The soldiers didn't have any doubts about the tactics themselves, but someone hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Your Highness Princess, will you fight alongside us?" ”

Garrot subconsciously protected Solandelle behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Her Royal Highness the princess will sit on the city wall and command. ”

It is actually very common for the supreme commander not to come to the front line in person, after all, the battlefield is changing, and the swords and guns are not long-sighted, how can you casually run to the front line?

Unless the commander himself is an extraordinary powerhouse and is not afraid of unexpected factors, it is rare to see the commander directly into battle.

Solandale is just an ordinary person, and a random arrow could threaten her life, and she definitely can't go to the front line, which is very reasonable.

However, when this kind of remark is said directly, the morale of the military will inevitably fluctuate a little.

When the soldiers heard that Solandale was going to hide on the city wall, even if they understood it in their hearts, they would feel more or less hesitant.

Solandelle looked at the lost soldiers, took the initiative to stand up, and asked, "How many Laurel King Banners do we have?" ”

After the quartermaster counted them, he reported: "There are still 11 Laurel King Banners, all of which were snatched back by the soldiers who fought bloodily last night. ”

The Laurel King Banner is the supreme symbol of Doguland, symbolizing the unshakable dignity of the entire kingdom, and the four major legions were severely defeated last night, but the grassroots commanders still organized elite soldiers to take the royal banner back from the hands of those barbarians.

Gu Hui

Solandelle held a flagpole with the Laurel King Banner hanging on it, climbed the city wall, and planted it on the highest point, the sun in the dome sprinkled on the fluttering flag, the laurel flower seemed to bloom in the wind, and its petite body seemed to become extremely majestic at this moment.

Solandale looked down at the soldiers and said with great firmness: "The battlefield is brutal, I know everyone is scared, when you are fighting outside the walls, if you feel lost, then look back here." ”

"At any time, I will stand here and watch everyone, you may not be able to see me because you are too far away, but you will definitely be able to see this laurel flower king flag, as long as it is still fluttering on the city wall, it means that I have always stood here and never left."

Looking at Solandel standing under the king's flag, the admiration in the hearts of the soldiers arose, and I don't know who took the lead, everyone began to hammer their chests one after another, regular and rhythmic, and the dull impact sound was shocking, resounding in the sky above the frozen fortress, and no one questioned it.

Solandale's gaze swept over the resolute faces of the soldiers, and then he looked to the north, to the area covered with saber-toothed tiger flags, and said heavily, "Get ready, the battle is about to begin." ”

...

Jupiter was patrolling the outer walls of the frozen fortress, and he looked at the tribal warriors who were plundering the city, and said with emotion: "Great king, this day has finally come!" After 514 years, we have once again set foot on the land of our hometown! We will take back what the kings lost! ”

Just as Jupiter was expressing his feelings, Assuma ran up the city wall, his waist almost 90 degrees, and said humbly: "The great king of the northern region, the northern city of the frozen fortress has been completely occupied by us, but the enemy is very stupid, and actually wants to rely on the inner city wall to resist stubbornly, and refuses our surrender." ”

Beside Jupiter, a tall strong man glared angrily, grabbed Assuma by the collar with one hand and lifted him up: "Didn't you say that their morale has collapsed, and you are sure that they will surrender directly?" ”

Assuma smiled awkwardly and stammered to explain, "These southern barbarians, uh... Sometimes it's just uncivilized and will do something unexpected. Please calm your anger, victory is ours anyway! ”

"Forget it, Apollo, my brother, let this poor creature go." Jupiter pressed the strong man's wrist and asked him to put the reluctant Ashhuma on the ground, then looked at the inner city wall in the distance, and sneered, "They haven't fought enough, and they still want a war, okay, then we'll give them a war and let them shed their last drop of blood." ”

Assuma also bowed and smiled: "The high-ranking generals of the frozen fortress have all been killed, and the remaining rabble has no combat power to speak of, and we can easily wipe them out." ”

Apollo asked coldly, "Are you sure all the high-ranking generals are dead?" ”

Ashuma pointed to the sky and said without hesitation: "I swear to the gods, I have confirmed every corpse, and no one in the command of the frozen fortress has survived!" ”

Jupiter smiled grimly: "Very well, Assuma, you have done a good job, and when I set foot on Doguland, and re-establish a dynasty in the ruins, I will crown you prince." ”

"Assuma will always be there for you, Lord Jupiter." When Ashuma said this, he hurriedly changed his words, "No, Your Majesty! ”

"Hahaha!" Jupiter slapped Assuma on the head twice, hearty laughter echoing over the Frozen Fortress.
