Chapter 121 Beginning
The first night when Viscount Dahal came to the Belfort Mountains was destined to be a night where people could not sleep peacefully.
It’s not that the Western Qin people attacked at night, although Bai Zhou also hoped that there would be such an opportunity to steal the camp at night. But Viscount Dahal was very organized and several checkpoints covered each other, without any dead corners. This was because Bai Zhou didn’t know whether they had set up secret sentries.
However, it can be imagined that as long as the coalition forces appear, the Burgundy checkpoint will be fully capable of notifying the soldiers resting in the camp as soon as possible.
Several patrol soldiers kept wandering around the camp, making the small harassment of the coalition forces a fantasy, unless they could ignore life and death or retreat. However, the input and output of this were almost in proportion to the output, so Bai Zhou also gave up this idea.
But the old saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. I think Viscount Dahar also understands this truth, so he is careful and cautious. He also ordered the soldiers to sleep with their clothes and put their weapons on the pillow.
"Damn it! What a big turtle shell." Luca spitted and cursed in the dark night.
Originally, only Bai Zhou and Wolfgang were waiting in this direction, but now that they knew that their opponents entered Belfort from this mountain pass, then naturally all the ambush troops of the coalition forces began to come here.
On the Western Qin side, Mengshan was temporarily staying in Basel, which was considered to be the central army; Weifu had returned to Bern, after all, the nominal and spiritual capital of Switzerland must be stable now; Menggo, Mengzhi, and Wang Xiaobao also have their own tasks and are not with Bai Zhou. As for Joan of Arc, because her identity is special and her subordinates do not have troops who can serve her directly, he stayed in Basel.
Moreover, in order to prevent the Grand Duke of Burgundy from sending more than one rescue force, the other mountain roads were also covered by scouts from the coalition forces for investigation and patrol.
The current situation is that Viscount Dahal will not delay time, because the purpose of his trip is to rescue Claude, and he has a close relationship with Claude, so he will not work or work. I believe he also knows that if Claude delays for one more hour, there will be an additional hour; but the coalition side has no time to spend with the Burgundians here, because calculating the time, the large Burgundian troops will be here in less than two days. By that time, the coalition forces can only temporarily avoid their edge, and will not choose to take the risk of pulling their teeth at the tiger's mouth and eating these cavalry. If all the troops present can execute Bai Zhou's orders without any discount, then it is impossible for Bai Zhou to try it, but in this situation, Bai Zhou naturally will not choose too risky tactics.
Therefore, there is not much time left for the coalition forces.
Where Dahar chose to camp, there were steep peaks on both sides, with at least seventy degrees of slope angle. The large army could not climb up at all, so it became his best barrier. In front was a narrow mountain pass, with only a five or six-meter-wide path passing by, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack; but the retreat route behind was relatively spacious, making it very difficult for the coalition forces to block their retreat route. (In other words, the two mountains were in the shape of the "eight", and the Burgundians set up camp in the middle of the "eight" character)
The Belfort Mountains, which was originally said to be beneficial to the coalition forces to slap and ambush, is their home court, and should have taken advantage of the geographical advantage. But nature will not favor any force after all. Now the first party in Burgundy can obviously make good use of the terrain, so that the coalition forces can only think about it and cannot take any substantial actions.
"It seems that we can only choose to attack." Fein's face, bright and dark under the flash of candlelight, "Let them go for half a day tomorrow, there is a relatively wide place ahead, and only a stream passes through there. Although it is still not conducive to our large army, it can also better limit their horse speed."
Finn is an old world after all. Although a coalition scout painted the surrounding terrain and handed it over to the generals, Finn went to investigate it himself. Generally speaking, it was unnecessary to do so, and he could only waste time, because the Belfort Mountains were so large that it could not be fully explored in a short time with his own strength. But now it also reflects the benefits of his doing so. After all, ordinary scouts have no tactical vision. They will only roughly describe the terrain obtained from the investigation and submit it to their superiors. As a general, Fen, who is in a general, can naturally see clearly which place is conducive to the decisive battle and which place is conducive to the ambush.
This is also because Fein is lucky. When he encountered such a place, he was just right to use it.
Bai Zhou's fingers crossed the map and found the place that Fein said. After thinking for a long time, he took out several maps about this place drawn by different scouts to compare it. Then he said, "The place is a good place, but there are three or four forks from where they camped and to this place, so we cannot make a choice for the Burgundians."
"But we can send small troops to lure them," Ilia continued, "or make them think that, from this road, they can find their trapped companions."
Bai Zhou glanced at Ilia, then looked at the others, and found that except for Wolfgang and Caterano, the expressions of others were vaguely more or less agreeing.
Bai Zhou sighed slightly in his heart and shook his head, "This place is indeed suitable for decisive battles, but in other words, our large army cannot hide its figure here at all. After this day, I believe you have seen that our opponents are very cautious. Even if we send a small group of troops to defeat, he will only send a small army to pursue the first. But once he finds the large army we are waiting for here, unless he also wants to fight us here, otherwise, the terrain here determines that we can't keep them at all."
"What should we do?" Fiora asked. She originally thought the Germans' suggestions were very reliable, but after listening to them, she found that she was too simple. The Burgundians are not puppets, so how could they honestly follow their own arrangements?
And now, what can I do? Fiora's military achievements are actually pitifully low, but this does not prevent her from accepting the right decision - in her heart, Bai Zhou is always right.
I have to say that sometimes, such women are silly cute and silly and caring.
"There is a solution, but we have to make a good decision now. This plan requires all of us to cooperate well." Bai Zhou looked at Fiora and couldn't help but smile.
