Chapter 516 Determined Plan (Part 2)


Chapter 516: The Plan (Part 2)

Looking at the lines on the map, Puzilio couldn't help but admire that he was worthy of being the grand leader of the Border Knights.

In decades of fighting vampires, the old La Cunho leader has developed keen strategic intuition and planning abilities.

Although he himself did not achieve great results, he kept the vampires behind the Kush River for thirty years.

Puccilio originally thought that La Cunho was just a mediocre general, but he now believes that this is definitely a hidden star.

Of course, this is based on the fact that La Cunho did not talk on paper, but with his status and position as the leader of the Knights for decades, he probably would not do anything on paper.

It’s a pity that the pearl is hidden, Puccilio said with regret: "Can I ask the Salvation Army’s current military strength?"

"Collection based on battlefield conditions , excluding the auxiliary troops, there are about five thousand infantry and one thousand cavalry. If we bring friendly troops or even secret party troops, we will go for fifteen thousand. "

Lacunio pouted. : "Don't believe those street knights who say 50,000. They only brag like that because they feel embarrassed after being defeated by farmers. The number of the Salvation Army is not large."

"But from the Osla family's Judging from the intelligence, they are famous for their infantry and are quite elite, so that..." At this point, Puccilio stopped talking, after all, Prince Condai was still here.

Prince Kong Dai didn't show much sullenness on his face, but responded lightly: "At present, the two and a half command companies are still being replenished, and they can probably restore 60% of their original strength."

"In order to appease the people, the bishops have always promoted the Salvation Army's combat power erratically. One, three, and five are as humble as ants, and two, four, and six are like gods. They will come to the door on Sunday." La Cunho shook his head disdainfully, " The true combat power of the Salvation Army can be seen from their rise."

"Can you be more detailed?"

"The predecessor of the Salvation Army was the refugees. It was only thanks to the Galal brothers and sisters that they were not defeated. Because of this, they were given time to grow up.

These refugees were elites who had escaped from the encirclement and interception of the command company and the defenders from various places, those who were weak. Either left behind or died on the march

Under the threat of death, they developed the quality most needed in elite infantry - discipline.

The subsequent Battle of Long Bridge, the Battle of Pavia, and the Battle of Montenegro were all dangerous situations of victory or death. The external pressure was too strong to squeeze out such a good piece of iron.

I dare to say that if some soldiers of the Salvation Army can embark on the path of knights, as long as their talents are good, their will will be enough to cross the threshold of ordered knights or even titled knights. "

Puccilio couldn't help but question: "Is this too exaggerated? "

"It's no exaggeration. Their soldiers are not afraid of death, have high morale, and can fight for a long time. This is the key to their strong combat power, but it also means that they will definitely not be able to expand their army too much. "Racunho stroked the lines on the map, "This is one of the reasons why I said that the lengthening of the Salvation Army's front line will lead to thinning of troops. ”

"You mean, they won't expand the army?"

Racunho nodded: "Yes."

"Judging from the existing intelligence, I think they are all Such terrible veterans form the backbone of the army.

Otherwise, they would not have such discipline and morale. They must have such a mentality.

I say. The reason why the army cannot be expanded in a short period of time is because the number of these fanatic veterans is limited. Even if they forcefully replenish them, their strength will not be as good as before.”

La Cunho said confidently.

Although he attaches great importance to the Salvation Army and believes that they are more elite and dangerous than Meliaty's army.

In terms of danger, he placed the two on equal footing.

From a long-term strategic perspective, he despises these brainless farmers after all.

They actually ransacked the nobles’ homes in the territory and divided the church’s land. The former deprives them of elite soldiers, and the latter deprives them of administrative talents.

This means that they cannot develop strength internally, and there is almost no other way except external expansion to maintain the army.

What if after capturing Castle Joan of Arc, Pope Horn would find some ancestral relative for himself and become the new Duke of Kush on the spot.

Then Racunio will tell Prince Condai to leave Meliyati alone and allin the Salvation Army, otherwise it will be over if he waits any longer.

The knights just need a lord to be loyal to, they don't care who the lord is.

Judging from the current situation, Qianhe Valley is occupied by Meliyati, which means that it has really fallen into the hands of Meliyati.

If the so-called Salvation Army is allowed to occupy it, it will only be a temporary occupation. The Salvation Army system is an illusion. Returning the holy treasury is simply unreasonable. Even without external force, it will collapse on its own.

The only variable is that thing.

"I heard that the Salvation Army has a magical lightning rod. Will it have any impact on the plan?" Puccilio asked what Prince Condé was worried about.

"We have investigated the Lightning Rod." As soon as Lacunior entered the Thousand River Valley, even before arriving at Feiliu Castle, he did one thing first - to meet the defeated knight.

From the mouths of these knights, he gradually completed the information about the clockwork gun. After arriving at Feiliu Castle, he even spent a lot of effort to get the demon hunter to obtain an abandoned clockwork gun from the Salvation Army.

Unlike those ignorant country knights, after figuring out the Salvation Army’s combat mode and clockwork muskets, La Cunho’s first reaction was that it was unreal, and his second reaction was that of horror.

A magical crossbow that is not affected by divine magic, can cast spells intensively, is extremely fast, and can penetrate knight armor!

It is as if all the flaws of magic have been removed, which is more terrifying than the bone archers on the border battlefield.

If this thing can be popularized, the knight will really be doomed.

Now a farmer assassinated a knight and was discovered halfway there. The knight couldn't even cut him even if they didn't want to.

After that, the farmer assassinated the knight and shot him in the head with a gunshot from a hundred steps away.

In that case, no knight would dare to leave the castle. Wouldn’t he really let the unruly people become the masters?

Fortunately, the only flaw of this thing is probably that it costs more and the training time is longer.

Because according to the information Lacuño received, the number of these magic crossbowmen has never been large.

But this is what it should be. The cost is small and the time is short. How can such a good thing happen?

If this were the case, La Cunho would have overthrown the empire with an army of 100,000 people who would have supported the war through war.

Do you really have this ability? Instead of conquering the Kingdom of Heaven and becoming a great emperor, you can just be a small rebel in the valleys of Qianhe River Valley?

"So far, we don't have enough means for that clockwork gun." In front of Puccilio, La Cunho still admitted this.

Prince Condai then added: "So we all believe that if there is a chance to annihilate it, the Salvation Army must be annihilated quickly.

As for the deep-rooted Boar Knights of Meliati, we can only grind them slowly, gather around and support them, and chip away at their foundation bit by bit. ”

“What do you think? "Racunho followed up in time.

Puccilio didn't speak, just lowered his head. He shook the wine glass slightly and looked at the light blue wine in the hanging glass. Then he raised the wine glass, He smiled: "Cheers. ”
