Chapter 261 No need to go to such trouble

"The battle between us and the Boland Thieves will not last too long. According to my estimation, if it is slow, it will take three or four days at most, and if it is quick, the winner can be decided within one day."

Corian offered his opinion.

"The plans you made are indeed OK, but if the war ends quickly, all the work of digging drainage ditches and making simple toilets will be a complete waste of time and the energy of the soldiers."

Luo Ning understood what the other party meant and just rushed forward with his troops to do it directly.

He motioned to the two deputy captains Philip and Thorstein to also take a look at the content on the paper, and asked: "Baron Corian, you just said that the winner can be determined within one day. I don't know if we are the winner." , or are we negative?”

"Of course we win!"

There is no doubt what Corian said: "We have gathered so many soldiers and horses now, how can the Polish bandits fight against us?"

"So my suggestion is to rest today and tomorrow, and then launch an attack on them the day after tomorrow and capture Chishan Town in one fell swoop!"

Luo Ning wanted to ask what he would do if the other party failed, but considering his status as a commander, it seemed inappropriate to give up before the war started, so he did not ask.

"I would like to hear why His Excellency the Baron is so confident? Also, we don't know the current strength of the Boland Thieves Group yet, so I have to trouble you to introduce it to everyone."

"My confidence stems from the difference in strength between the enemy and ourselves!"

Corian's tone was very firm, which was a sign of sufficient trust in himself.

"Amycus, the leader of the Bolt Thieves, is a golden knight. His strength may be a little stronger than Sir Tolu, but as long as I cooperate with Tolu, dealing with him will not be a problem."

"Except for Amycus, there are only two silver-level members left in the Bolt Thieves Group. One is their deputy leader Haldane, and the other is the capable general Kilbart."

Corian's eyes swept over the bodies of several silver knights in the hall.

"And we have Marvin, Philip, Thorstein, Talon and my subordinate Brissot here. There are five of them in total, and they are all long-famous Silver Knights. They are completely enough to deal with Haldane and Kilbart. !”

After what he said, the eyes of everyone in the hall lit up.

"Your Majesty the Baron is right!"

Brissot echoed: "Our current high-end combat power completely exceeds that of the opponent, and there is no problem in defeating the enemy head-on!"

"Yeah~"

"Yeah~"

Many people nodded secretly.

"What do you think?" Ronin looked at Marvin and Tolu.

As deputy commanders, these two people wanted to hear their opinions.

Viscount Marvin thought thoughtfully and said: "If the situation is really as Corian said, we can indeed attack directly frontally when we have a great advantage."

Tolu added some comments: "As far as I know, the fortifications in Chishan Town are basically arranged in the south to resist the enemies coming from Kasir Town. There are basically no fortifications in the north."

Chishan Town was previously under the jurisdiction of Kerien. To the north of it was the Boulder Territory, so naturally there was no need to set up any fortifications.

"After the Poland Bandits took control of Chishan Town, they didn't have time to set up any defenses in the north. If we attack from the front, we have an advantage in personnel and no disadvantage in terms of terrain."

Marvin continued: "I think we can organize and form the noble coalition forces according to Luo Ning's method, which will be conducive to battlefield command; in terms of logistics, we can simply deal with it. As for the attack time, we need to negotiate again."

It can be seen that when it comes to offense, they still prefer direct frontal assault.

In fact, if the high-end combat power is sufficient and there is a lot of intermediate combat power, Luo Ning is also willing to attack head-on, and the sooner the battle is resolved, the better.

But is this war really that easy?

"Korien, let me ask you, how much do you know about the enemy's combat power losses in the battle that night when Chishan Town was captured?"

Corian was stunned for a moment, his expression slightly hesitant, but he still shook his head after a while.

"The battle ended that night before the team I led arrived at Chishan Town. I don't know much about the enemy's casualties."

Luo Ning immediately said: "As far as I know, the five knight squads stationed in Chishan Town, in addition to deputy captain Hahn, there are two bronze knights, one of whom is still at the peak of the bronze level and half a foot into the silver level. ."

Kerien's face suddenly looked a little ugly. Perhaps he felt that Luo Ning was going to hold him accountable in public, which made him lose face.

"The three of them led five knight squads, and the number of professional knights exceeds 60. With the terrain advantages and defenses of Chishan Town, even if the enemy has a golden knight, it is impossible to lose so miserably!"

Everyone's hearts trembled.

They had just followed Kerien's idea to compare the strength and strength gap between the enemy and ourselves, but they had forgotten about the disastrous defeat of the five knight squads of the Fifth Knight Order stationed in Chishan Town.

Deputy Captain Hahn's strength is not bad.

"It's definitely a bit strange."

Marvin's expression became solemn, "For the opponent to defeat Hahn and his team so quickly, there should be more than these three top professional knights. Kerien, is your information correct?"

"impossible!"

Corian retorted categorically, "Although we have been hostile to the Polite Thieves over the years, we have also had business exchanges during peacetime. We know their combat effectiveness very clearly!"

"The reason why Hahn was defeated, according to the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape, was because they drank too much at night and neglected to defend. They didn't react until the enemy crossed the defense line and entered, but by then it was too late."

"How credible are the words of the soldiers who escaped?"

Luo Ning spread his hands, "But your statement is indeed one of the possibilities, but there is another possibility."

He paused and saw that everyone was listening quietly, so he continued:

"That means that the Bolt Thieves have hidden their strength, or that stronger professional knights have recently joined. Hahn and the others are no match at all."

"It is possible."

Everyone couldn't help but nod.

"If the intelligence is incomplete, we do need to be more cautious."

With Luo Ning's hypothetical point of view being thrown out, the next discussion shifted to "what to do if the enemy hides his strength."

Although no good solution was reached after a long discussion, Luo Ning's arrangement was necessary to be implemented.

Because everyone knows that it is impossible to resolve the battle within a day or two as Corian said.

After another discussion, a tentative plan was finally decided:

Marvin, Toru, and Redal are responsible for the reorganization of the coalition forces;

Tallon and McCann are responsible for camp defense and security;

The two deputy commanders Philip and Thorstein led the cavalry to be responsible for peripheral patrols and reconnaissance;

The boulder collar takes care of the logistics.

The reason why Luo Ning was able to reach a consensus and implement these measures so quickly was mainly due to the fact that Tolu, Marvin and others always stood by him.

This is also due to Rulans' arrangement.

If Negan had followed him to the Boulder Territory, there would have been a fight over who had the greater say.

The bustling Stonefortress finally fell silent, and Corian sat on the chair with a frown on his face and did not leave.

"Brissot, do you think Ronin doubts me?"

His subordinate, Brissot, also looked solemn, "I'm not sure, but he did let everyone subconsciously exclude your suggestions during several conversations."

At the beginning of the meeting, Corian's words still resonated with many people.

But after Luo Ning's hypothesis was thrown out, the effectiveness of his words was not as good as before.

Even in the final division of tasks, when Corian took the initiative to take on the peripheral security and investigation work, he was rejected by Luo Ning.

The reason is that the boulder collar is responsible for a lot of logistics work, and it is more appropriate to let them be responsible for the logistics.

Corian let out a long breath, digesting the unhappiness in the meeting, "I take back my previous opinion. This Luoning does have a way of doing things. No wonder he regained the favor of the Marquis."

Brissot smiled: "Then this further proves the necessity of our action!"

"Yes, it is very necessary..." (End of chapter)
