The horn of war never sounds until everything is ready.
On the second day after the establishment of the Border Guard Corps, when the officers and soldiers of each flag squadron were still getting familiar with each other, a fast horse from the northeast fell to death on the carriage path outside the Bramont City defense area.
The task force who came back from the sentinel found the friendly messenger who had been stabbed in the leg by a spearhead and was almost bleeding. They carried the guy who was about to become a corpse on the road back.
This is a messenger who escaped from the Geneborg war zone. The fact that a messenger looks like this can only mean one problem - Geneborg has fallen or is about to fall.
The urgent battle situation after the messengers woke up was indeed like this, and Geneborg was about to fall.
The city of Bramont was tense. The city guards stationed at the castle and the private soldiers of nearby lords retreated into Bramond City. The villages, castles and manors around the city that had been warned also closed their gates, and everyone was in danger.
Different from Bramont's local army, which was shrinking and defending itself behind closed doors, the Yona Border Guard Corps, which had just been formed and completed its training and training, had begun to enter combat mode. The first regiment in the city (the Wells Corps) and the second regiment outside the city (the Prisoner Corps), as well as the various teams belonging to the central army of the garrison, began to pack up their camps and prepare to leave.
While the entire border guard regiment, with thousands of people, was busy, the Chinese army command camp had not yet moved because the final march route was still being negotiated in the camp.
· The officers had a dispute over whether to rescue Geneborg, which was about to fall, or to reinforce Wallonia, which still had defenses.
Those who support the former have clearly seen the mutual defense relationship between Geneborg and Wallonia. They believe that once Geneborg falls, Wallonia will become an isolated city, and the enemy is likely to pass through Geneborg and bypass Wallonia's rear;
Those who support the latter have clearly seen the disparity in strength between the enemy and ours and the possibility of victory or defeat on the battlefield. According to the dictation of the messenger before his death, Geneborg has been besieged by nearly 800 Swabians, and the number is still increasing. There are not many defenders left in the city, and the reinforcements that arrived earlier were too few and have been eaten by the Swabians. If they were to rescue Geneborg, regardless of whether they could defend the city, I was afraid that the less than a thousand troops of the Border Guard Corps would also have to go in, so they insisted on going far and near to reinforce Walloon Castle. They believed that as long as the Swabians who attacked Walloon Castle were driven away, and the defense lines of Walloon Castle and nearby were stabilized, with a vicious dog by their side, the Swabians would not dare to invade the border with large numbers of troops.
Your mouth can say whatever you want, but it is your head that ultimately makes the decision.
Matt's head hurts. So far, he has no experience in such large-scale operations. It is not difficult for a thousand people to defend two castles with sufficient time and preparation. But now what he needs to defend is no longer one or two castles and fortresses, but an entire precarious border.
Two of the four important towns on the border line have been lost. Although there are still local troops behind the border line, if the gate of a castle is breached, it is expected that each household will have a fence made of firewood for protection. I am afraid that the robbers can kick it open with just a light kick.
The reason why the Swabians have not sent a large army to invade the border through the gaps between the two fallen border towns is simply because there are still two castles in the north that have not been breached.
Att’s eyes kept scanning back and forth on the terrain map, and his right hand kept rubbing the cross pattern on the balance bead on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Enter the entire army to reinforce Wallonburg!" Art finally made a decision. This decision may not be the most correct, but at least it will prevent his officers from losing their way.
"Odo, Angus, you two will take everyone to discuss the final battle plan to reinforce Wallonburg immediately. After the discussion is completed, someone will call me in the Lord's Hall. I will immediately go to discuss the armament and equipment with Viscount John. It is not that easy to transport supplies near Wallonburg."
Having determined the general direction, the two commanders with rich combat experience and a group of officers can naturally come up with the rest of the battle plan. Art only needs to make slight modifications to the battle plan they drafted before it can be implemented. Moreover, the battle plan must be adjusted at any time according to the current situation on the battlefield, and it is not completely certain now.
Leading an army of a thousand men into battle, the most important and difficult thing now is no longer how to fight, but how to maintain the continuation of the battle.
To put it simply, it is how to ensure the army's baggage line, how to ensure that food and materials are continuously delivered to the camp of the combat army, how to send wounded soldiers back to the rear for treatment and recuperation, and how to ensure that the frontline troops do not leave empty behind them when fighting.
In this era where the passive side focuses on defending the city, the term "logistics support" is definitely a fictitious thing. Odo may be able to do some military duties for Art, but there are some things that ordinary people really can't do due to limitations of their thinking and status.
For example, as Odo, it is absolutely impossible to persuade Viscount John to give up the natural shelter of the castle and risk being beaten and robbed to send troops to transport food and baggage for the border guard regiment caught in a fierce battle.
Att took the palace military advisor and the military priest to Viscount Yohn who was hiding in the lord's hall to discuss city defense matters. He spent the entire afternoon mediating and arguing with Viscount Yohn and the commanders under Yohn, just to get the entire county of Bramon to mobilize to support a battle to protect the eastern border and the city of Bramon.
To be fair, Bramond has tried his best. This originally relatively wealthy border county has been drained by the two battlefields in the east and west. Their limited army and food supplies have to be stored to prepare for the Swabian swords that will follow after Wallonburg breaks the city.
Finally, Art promised to urgently recruit a group of more than 100 peasant soldiers from his barony in Tyniec County in the south within half a month to go north to Bramond City to support the defense and use the palace's subsequent allocations. The pledge of food and supplies for the Border Guard Corps convinced the Lords of Bramon County to squeeze out emergency food and supplies for a thousand people and a month. Of course, Bramon will also deploy troops to provide baggage transportation and troop replenishment for the combat armies.
At immediately asked Sir Banting, the military adviser, to submit a letter to the Jonah court to inform the follow-up supplies to be transported directly to Bramont City. At the same time, he ordered the guards to send two messengers with his personal order to return to Tyniec County quickly to mobilize the troops heading north...
When he came out of the lord's hall, Tian The color is completely black. The two infantry regiments of the Border Guard Corps and the heavy armored infantry team, crossbow team, task force, military law team, dead team, baggage team and other slow-moving teams have left Bramond City and stationed at a road fork twelve miles east of Bramond City. They will continue to move eastward near Wallonburg early tomorrow morning.
The cavalry was also sent by the Chinese military command camp to the front of the brigade to scout and screen the battlefield.
In the camp in Bramont, only the baron's guard and the officers and subordinates of the center commanding the camp were left. These people were marching on horseback and could catch up with the main army at any time.
At dragged his tired body back to the military tent where the battle plan was still being discussed, he took a big sip of the minced meat porridge that was no longer warm and handed over by the guard, and then picked up the wine glass to moisten his throat. His throat that was about to smoke went directly to the two The adjutant standing on the terrain map asked: "How is it? Has the rescue plan been completed?"
Odo nodded to Angus, and Angus led Art to the terrain map, "Sir, we have prepared two rescue plans."
“First, go directly to Wallonia and fight against the 1,200 Swabian troops (including handymen and craftsmen) who attack Wallonia. Secondly, the Second Infantry Regiment of the Border Guard Corps, as well as the crossbow team and the Deadpool team, pretend to attack the Swabians under Walloon Castle to attract enemy troops. Then the First Infantry Regiment, heavy armored infantry team, and cavalry detour to attack the enemy’s flank..."
