Four hundred and sixtieth chapters final battle (seven)

At the camp of the Restoration Army, Yat's baggage team was rushing to move the fifty carts of food and grass that had just been sent from the Wells Corps' tent into the tent for storing food and grass. Five carts of food and grass were ordered by Yat from the Wells Corps' corps.

"Brothers, move quickly, unload the car and return to the base." Spencer, who was standing beside the carriage, ordered. The cavalry teams in the Restoration Army escorted the Wells Legion's baggage team to the Restoration Army before they returned to the camp.

In the command camp of the Restoration Army, Yat, who followed the baggage team, was talking to Fland in the tent about his plans to annihilate the enemy cavalry team.

".........Cousin Yat, now that there is food and supplies, the morale of the Restoration Army has stabilized. I think it's time to attack Thorne City." Flander revealed his thoughts to Yat.

"Marquis, do you mean there should be news in the city?"

Flander raised his hand and signaled Yat to move closer and speak.

"That's right, they sent a secret message last night, and they had already installed their own people at the Northeast Gate, which had relatively few defenders. At that time, we used some of our troops to attack the East City Gate and the South City Gate, and another group of people were ambushing outside the Northeast Gate at night. After the people inside opened the city gate and put down the suspension bridge, they rushed in immediately! Once they stabilized their positions, the other troops immediately went to the Northeast Gate to support and annihilate the defenders in Thorne City in one fell swoop." Flander was excited and his tightly clenched fists hit the wooden table hard.

"Marquis Marquis is very good. If everything goes well, the city of Thorne will be under your control."

"You bring your core officers to our army's command camp tomorrow morning to discuss strategies to break the enemy. We must take down the city of Thorne this time."

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

…………

Three miles outside the south gate of Thorne City, Yat, who had just returned to the garrison with the baggage team, summoned high-ranking officers above the Wells Legion flag captain to the central army's command camp before they could rest, so that they could prepare for the upcoming siege.

"Everyone, I have received the order from the Marquis to go to the command camp of the Restoration Army in the morning to participate in important military discussions and discuss the upcoming siege."

When the officers heard that they were about to start attacking Thorne City, they were very excited. But when they faced this Thorne City, which was as strong as a wall, they felt a little lacking in confidence. Yat knew the thoughts of his subordinates.

"Everyone is quiet." Yatt stretched out his hand to signal. "I know what you are thinking. This attack on Thorne is not as simple as we capture Fort Marsey. Not only is the walls of Thorne, there is also a moat around it, so it is indeed difficult to get close to." Yatt slowly stood up, circled around the officers present and returned to his seat.

"But if there were our inner supporters in the city, then things would be much easier." Yat changed his tone and gave some tips to the officers present.

"Sir, do you mean we have people in the city?" Odo immediately stood up and asked anxiously.

"No, it's not ours." As soon as Yat finished speaking, the officers looked around, their eyes full of doubt.

"Sir, don't go around in circles, brothers, just wait for you." Odo said anxiously.

"Everyone is closer..." After Yat informed the officers present of the situation of the insider, everyone was stunned at first, and then whispered.

Angus first spoke, "Sir, the inner one should be Bernard's people. Can we trust them easily?"

"Yes, that's right." Everyone whispered.

"Master Sergeant, do you have a better way now?" Yat asked back.

"I~" Angus was speechless.

"Everyone, we should not doubt the Marquis' plan. The only thing we should do is to obey his orders and obey unconditionally." Yat looked serious and stared at the officers present. If these people could not act completely according to the orders and had too many concerns, then this siege would definitely be greatly reduced.

"Have you heard it clearly?" Yat asked loudly.

"I wish to serve the Lord!" Everyone stood up and bent over and beat their chests.

"Today's military discussion ends here. Odo, Sergeant Chief, you two will go with me to the Restoration Army Camp tomorrow morning to participate in the military discussion."

"Yes, sir!" The two of them accepted the order in unison.

…………

At this time, it was early autumn. At night, the air around Thorne City slowly became a little cooler. A gust of wind blew, and the soldiers patrolling the outside of the Wells Legion garrison shivered~

After dinner, Yat sat alone on the stone among the trees on the west side of the camp, watching the soldiers in the legion shuttle between the camp tents. Yat himself was not sure about this siege, and it could be said that he was not sure about it. Although Thorne City was not big, it was definitely the most sturdy fortress Yat had ever seen. Moreover, the troops guarding the city were nearly 2,000, which did not include those peasant soldiers and servile servants. Even if the Restoration Army and the Wells Legion combined more than 10,000 people, only five or six thousand people were truly capable of combat. If they really attacked, they would have suffered heavy casualties.

Although there are internal supporters in the city, the probability of success is not yet certain. His doubts about the officers under his command are understandable, but he cannot let these thoughts reach Flander's ears, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. For such a high-ranking and powerful ruler, any doubt may be regarded as contempt and betrayal. Yat himself has seen how terrible his eyes were when he questioned Flander. That kind of power was enough to make him frightened. It was the innate pride in his blood!

…………

After breakfast early the next morning, Yat took Angus, Odo, Ron and others to the command camp of the Restoration Army.

On the way, Yat specifically advised Angus and Odo: Don't question Flander's thoughts and decisions in person. As the senior commander of the legion, the two quickly understood Yat's intention. For a ruler who was afraid of three-pointers, the two naturally did not dare to have any objection.

Soon, the group arrived at the camp of the Restoration Army. When several people rode into the camp, they saw that the soldiers were all busy under the command of the officers. Obviously, Fland was already preparing for the upcoming siege battle...

After entering the military camp gate, turn right into a path with tents neatly built on both sides, pass a checkpoint guarded by two soldiers holding spears, and then pass through an open space. The largest tent guarded by two daggers at the door in front of you is the command camp of the Restoration Army.

"dismount."

With about fifty steps away from the command camp, Yat ordered everyone to dismount. After handing the horses to Ron and the accompanying guards, Yat sorted out his clothes, and then took Angus and Odo to the command camp.

"Good morning, Lord Yat!" When Yat and others walked to the gate of the command camp, the guards at the door bowed and greeted them with a smile, then lifted up the curtain and let Yat and others go in. Yat looked at the guards, then nodded at Odo, and then took Angus into the tent. Odo took out a few Finneys from his pocket and threw them to the two guards, and then walked into the tent.

In the command camp of the Restoration Army, all the senior officers under Fland were present. Att felt a little embarrassed by the people in front of him. The only one he knew was Viscount Leond who was talking loudly with several officers.

After seeing Yat walk in, Leond said a few words to the people around him and walked towards the people with wine.

"Mr. At, you are here." Leond asked enthusiastically, waved his hand to pour wine for the servants.

"Come on, Lord Yat, everyone, let's have a drink for the next battle." After the servant delivered the wine to several people, Leond picked up the wine glass and said.

"Dry!"

"Dry!"

Several people drank it all and felt relieved.

"That's great, the Marquis is finally going to attack Thorne City." Leond said after wiping away the juice from the corner of his mouth with his hands, with a little excitement in his expression. As a professional soldier who lives by swords, he has an almost paranoid obsession with war. Only in the process of fighting with the enemy can he feel that he is still alive. It is precisely because of this that the soldiers of the Longxia Legion made the enemy so frightened.

Yat just nodded slightly to agree, and did not agree. Because he still had doubts about whether he could win this siege.

"Marquis is here~" As the voice of the guards outside the door came, everyone in the tent immediately put down the wine glasses in their hands. Two guards pulled the curtain open, and Fland, dressed in military uniform, strode in.

"Good morning, marquis!" Everyone bowed and beat their chests and saluted.

Flander glanced at the people present, nodded, and walked straight to the large skinned chair beside the table.

"Sit all!"

"Marquis Xie~"

After everyone sat down, Flander signaled the bodyguard to spread a sheepskin map of Thorne on a long wooden table.

"Everyone, this was made overnight based on the information provided by the insiders in the city. This clearly marks the defense status of the gates in Thorne."

Seeing that Flander's actions were so decisive and efficient, everyone here admired them very much.

"Now, let's discuss the allocation of troops and the formulation of combat plans."

Sitting slightly forward, Yat looked at this sheepskin map. The strongest defense is the East City Gate and the South City Gate. In addition, except for the city gate in the northeast corner, the other city gates are all water gates, and the number of people defending is relatively small.

"According to the information provided by the inside, the troops in Thorne City are mainly concentrated in the East City Gate and the South City Gate, with a total of at least 1,200 people. The one with the most tight defense is the East City Gate. The city gate in the northeast corner and several other water gates have fewer defensive forces." Flander pointed and pointed on the map with a smooth wooden stick, while the eyes of the others slowly moved with the wooden stick.

"Therefore, the East City Gate and the South City Gate are not suitable as the target for breaking through Thorne City. The other water gates are all set up on the river, and there are mud swamps around, which makes you unable to move." Flander then waved the wooden stick and the end fell to the location of the northeast corner city gate.

"Northeast Gate?" said one of the officers.

"Yes, it's the Northeast Gate!" After that, Flander put the wooden stick on the table, picked up the wine on the table and took a big sip. The officers were talking.

After a while, Flander asked, "Didn't anyone tell me the reason for choosing the Northeast Gate?"

Seeing that no one was speaking at the officers present, Yat first glanced at the guys in front of him, and after confirming that no one answered, he got up and bent down to greet Flander.

"Great Marquis, please allow me to express my opinion."

"Yat, tell me." Fland nodded with satisfaction.

"Everyone, there are two reasons for choosing the North City Gate as a breakthrough. First, the river enters from the North City Gate and is divided into three sections. The moat on both sides circles half a circle along the outer wall and then converges in the southwest corner of the city, and the other stream flows into Thorne along the water gate of the North City. The northeast gate is right between the river in the north and the moat in the east, forming a small corner. Therefore, most of the people and siege equipment cannot be deployed outside the North City Gate. Bernard also knew in his heart that our army would definitely not attack the city from there. So the defenders there were much less than the East City Gate and the South City Gate."

"Second, once the Northeast Gate breaks through the city, the reinforcements outside the East Gate can quickly move to the Northeast Gate, reinforce our soldiers who have stabilized their positions, and finally break through Thoren City in one fell swoop and annihilate the defenders in the city."

After Yat finished speaking, the officers present talked a lot. Their understanding of the guy in front of them was only at the level of the son-in-law of Viscount Gorwen, the deputy prime minister of the palace finance. But he did not expect that he knew so clearly about the internal situation of Thorne City.

Angus and Odo, who stood behind Yat, looked at each other. Compared with the officers of the Restoration Army in front of them, Yat's understanding of Thorne was incomparable to them. In the process of assassin, the group had already figured out the situation of Thorne clearly and successfully brought several Assassin's leaders to Paris for trial by the church. Because of their extremely concealed actions, Bernard only knew who the mastermind behind the scenes after the pagans had arrived in Paris.

"I heard it all." Seeing the officers talking, Fland finally spoke. "At's analysis is exactly the same as mine."

At this moment, Yat's mouth raised slightly, and he glanced at the officer present from the corner of his eyes. He thought, these arrogant guys in front of him would definitely remember him now~

"Next I will announce the combat deployment." As soon as Flander spoke, everyone at the long table immediately stood up and stood up straight with a serious expression.

"The Resurrection Army is responsible for attacking the East City Gate, and the Wells Army is responsible for attacking the South City Gate. In addition, two hundred combat soldiers with rich combat experience are selected from the army. After opening the Northeast Gate, they should immediately rush up to deal with the defenders in the city gate, occupy the Northeast Gate, and wait for the arrival of the army. The main task of the East City Gate and the South City Gate army is to attract most of the enemy's troops and cover the soldiers who attack the North City Gate. Once the city is broken, the Wells Army continues to attack the South City Gate. Half of the troops in the Light of Resurrection Army stays at the East City Gate, and the other half immediately goes to the Northeast Gate to support the two hundred soldiers who broke the city."

"Each division will go back immediately and hurry up and prepare. At dawn the next day, launch a full-scale attack on Thorne City on time. This time, we must take Thorne City in one fell swoop!" Fland pulled out the broad sword from his waist and waved it into the air, feeling extremely excited.

"I wish to serve the Marquis!"

"I wish to serve the Marquis!"
