Mount and Blade

Since Edward, Hickel and others were busy with the vanguard, in the next few days, Green could only diligently discuss and improve the combat plan with other combat generals, and carefully study the terrain, enemy formations and possible variables, striving to maximize the success rate.

Finally, after several revisions, a detailed combat plan was presented to General Kirstin. After the maid handed it to him and he read it, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Hahaha, this child is so outstanding at such a young age. He is really a brave and meticulous person." Kirstin looked at the child's handwriting, which was neat and concise. The overall right-leaning style of the font was really the first time he saw it.

Although it can't be called very beautiful, it can be called rare neatness among Grant, a rough man who can't even read a few words.

"...Go and hand this report to Edward to see if there is any discrepancy with his plan."

The deputy general took the order and left. He returned soon and reported to Kirstin: "Lord Edward said that this plan is basically consistent with what he thought, but the information about the enemy's movements and battle formations is not detailed and accurate enough, and it is indeed necessary to make sufficient preparations in advance."

Kirstin was delighted, thinking that Hanks was indeed a talented general. He had only studied for less than half a month and was able to flexibly apply the knowledge and strategies he had learned.

At this time, Green did not know that his plan was highly recognized by General Kirstin. He was still thinking about how to further optimize it. Just as he was thinking hard, someone came to report that the scouts near Chester had discovered the unusual movements of the Joda army, and it seemed that they were planning to start the siege today.

When Green heard this, his heart tightened and he immediately ran out.

.........

Grunberdo was wearing armor that matched his tall body. The appearance was simple and rough. Chainmail was used on the joints to avoid hindering the battle. It was a great effort. The only decorative thing on his body was the dragon pattern on his helmet.

Grunberdo held a heavy dragon-patterned sword and shield in his left hand and a 1.3-meter-long heavy war hammer in his right hand. For him, using such a heavy weapon did not even require him to consider whether the weapon would become blunt.

He was standing on the observation deck of the South Tower at this time, looking down at the 20,000 Jodah enemy troops slowly heading towards the "Fire Dragon's Nest" like a giant.

"The army is coming."

Edward climbed up the observation deck and stood beside Grunberdo. Since Green saw him, he has never taken off the brown leather eye patch on his left eye.

Although he looked inconspicuous standing next to Gurenberudo, he was quite tall. His height of about 1.87 meters was higher than the average level of the Grant people. Just like when the three of them were in Chester's prison, Edward had slender limbs and his golden medium-length hair was neatly groomed.

At this time, he was also wearing a full-body plate armor, but compared with Gurenberudo's, it was much lighter.

Together, they looked down at the Jodah army that appeared in the distance. Edward even took out a monocular telescope commonly used at sea to check the movements of the enemy.

"You two like to stay in high places."

Another person climbed up to the observation tower. This person had snow-white skin and long silver-white hair. She was Shicker.

Gurenberudo was the leader of the "Flame Dragon Knights", and Edward naturally served as the deputy leader. Shicker was the leader of the "Flame Dragon Heavy Infantry Regiment", that is, the leader of a thousand men.

Since the three of them were rescued from Chester's prison by General Kirstin, Hickel has grown into an elegant woman with a hint of coldness.

A pair of slender legs and a slender and strong body, with the explosive power of an antelope, plump and just-right breasts and hips make it difficult for her to hide her beautiful figure even in a battle suit composed of chain mail and breastplate, outlining a slender and elegant figure curve.

The three stood together, looking down at the approaching Jodah army on the horizon.

"The enemy has 20,000 people." Hickel said easily, "...more than usual."

"According to the scouts' report, the enemy's marching speed is very slow. It seems that they should have moved siege equipment. There are rumors that Jodah has imported a large number of expensive cannons." Edward analyzed calmly.

"Are there any countermeasures?" Gulenberudo asked, and the tone was just like asking about tomorrow's weather.

Edward smiled confidently, "Leave it to me, this is my area of ​​expertise."

......

The 20,000-man Jodah army marched towards the "Fire Dragon's Nest". The commander was General Tokar, a well-known battle axe master. His sea beasts, the Land Invasion Knights, were elite troops sent to make up for the lack of cavalry on the battlefield of Grant. They wore heavy armor with the appearance of walruses or elephant seals, and held long-pole weapons such as tridents. They were all experienced fighters and were best at landing operations.

The marching speed of the Tokar Corps was so slow that even the formation was very loose, as if they did not take the "Fire Dragon's Nest" and Gulenberudo seriously at all.

With 20 high-value siege cannons and 15 long-range catapults, Tokar even had the confidence to win. No matter how hard the shell of the "Fire Dragon's Nest" was, he did not believe that he could not smash a small pass fortress under the baptism of artillery after launching the offensive.

Jodah had been fighting with the Principality of Grant for fourteen years. To invade an island country that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, the geography was already at a disadvantage. In addition, Grunberudo’s entry into the “Dragon’s Nest” ten years ago made the war completely stalemate. This time, Jodah spent a lot of money to break through the bottleneck, even several times higher than the previous military expenditure.

Although the marching speed was slow, Tokar was not worried at all, because he knew the weakness of the Grunberudo Corps. The weakness was that the head of the Corps, Grunberudo, was “too big” and he could not move on a normal horse. How could he be called a knight? !

Tokar could not help laughing.

Moreover, no matter how brave Grunberudo was, it was impossible for him to kill all 20,000 soldiers by himself. Just sending 500 soldiers would be enough to surround him. If Grunberudo, who lacked mobility, ran out to fight foolishly, he could be restrained in the form of a field battle and then attack the city.

If Gurenberudo does not leave, he can slowly build a siege position to capture the city.

In short, the Principality of Grant is doomed! Tokar thought so, and the fantasy of his great achievements being recorded in the history of Judah emerged in his mind. That is the achievement of destroying a country! Who else can do it throughout history?

And Tokar's rival Abecasis frowned and felt uneasy. Tokar seemed to have no idea about Gurenberudo's advantages and disadvantages, and his mind was thinking about other coping strategies. It was a pity that the imposing knight would probably not accept his opinion.

And the other person who was frowning was Kadi. His face was very bad, and his face was so pale that he didn't look like a human.

"The Fire Dragon's Nest" gradually appeared in the field of vision, like a mountain, with 6 bastions facing the plain in the south, double-layer walls with copper walls and iron walls, and tall towers and gate towers standing there.

It was just like a cork sealed with wax. If you want to sip the honey wine inside, you have to try every means to pry it open.

——At this time.

"Hmm?"

A cloud of dust approached this side from the direction of the "Fire Dragon's Nest" at a very fast speed. It was a cavalry unit, well, it should be the Knights.

But if it was so fast, the leader was probably not Gurenbeluo, because Gurenbeluo could not ride a warhorse, and it should be commanded by other generals. Although the Flame Dragon Knights were full of elites, they were not to be feared in the absence of Gurenbeluo! !

Because they alone could never reverse this extreme disadvantage, Tokar thought.

However, he would soon pay the price of blood for his carelessness.

"...How is this possible?!"

When the distance was shortened, Tokar could not believe his eyes. On the oversized steel chariot pulled by eight war horses, the man holding the heavy hammer and leading the way was Gurenbeluo?
