After dinner, Bai Zhou and his group gathered at the table and looked at the entire Swiss map in front of them.

"The current situation is that the main Swiss troops are still besieging Diticon under the leadership of Marquis Alberto. We are now in Warren, and we can directly jump into Bern, the capital of Switzerland, but if we do so, the Swiss army here will always be a disaster." Catlano pointed to the largest black spot on the map with a wooden branch. There is the Swiss capital, Bern, which is the economic, cultural, political and military center of the Swiss people. Once captured by the Western Qin people, the spiritual blow to the Swiss locals can be imagined.

"How long can the Germans in Diticon last?" Bai Zhou asked.

"After two consecutive days of attack, the walls of Diticon have been partially damaged. If nothing unexpected happens, according to the strength of the two sides, the Germans can hold on for at least three days, at most, they should be able to last for about ten days." The captain replied. He had sent scouts to monitor the movements of Diticon and his sides day and night, so he had a say in this matter.

The Detikon walls are not tall and solid, and there are only more than 10,000 Germans garrisons inside. The Swiss dispatched nearly 50,000 troops in this attack. Although several thousand people had been eaten by the Western Qin people, the difference in the number of people between the two sides was still huge.

"If we set out now, how long will it take to get to Bern?" Bai Zhou thought for a long time. Indeed, there are many benefits to attack Bern directly, especially in this era. If he directly captured the enemy's capital, he could basically declare his occupation of the entire country. However, there were tens of thousands of Swiss people in the east of the Western Qin people. Bai Zhou believed that the Swiss were also surrounded by Swiss spies, and it was impossible for others to know about the every move of his own army. The reason why the Swiss do not turn around and attack themselves is mostly because they want to deal with the Germans with a large number of people first. Therefore, he is now leading his army to attack Bern west. Even if the Swiss on the opposite side don't know their specific goals at first, at most ten days later, the Swiss captured Diticon and drew out troops, and they will definitely destroy these aliens who attacked their hinterland.

Caterano thought about it and said, "If we go along the main road at full speed, we can reach the Bern area in about half a month, but we have to capture at least three fortresses on the way. Even if there are not many people defending, it will take at least two or three days. If we walk along the mountain road, it may take ten days."

"In other words, if we start along the mountain path now, we can use the time difference between the Swiss attacks on Diticon to attack Bern?" After hearing this, Meng Zhi found that it was still very feasible to do so.

"If everything goes well, it is indeed the case." Caterano replied: "But if we take the small path, there are two difficulties. First, we are not familiar with the mountain roads in this area and may be wrong. If we go the mountain road a little wrong, it will waste most of the marching time; second, these paths are difficult to walk, and once we are buried, even if the Swiss ambush only by a small number of troops, it will cause us heavy losses."

"And you have to ensure that the Germans lasted long enough that the Swiss would not chase us out of the city when attacking Diticon. The most important thing is that we can attack Bern in about ten days." Bai Zhou continued. Although he did not know much about Bern in reality, through the "full battle system", he could at least know that his status was an epic fortress. Even if the fortress level was only castle level (four levels in total, castle level is the second level), if the Swiss were just defending, it would not be a simple task to capture it.

"Indeed, Bern is the capital of the Swiss. It is said that the city wall is more than ten meters high, and the most elite Swiss troops are stationed in the fortress all year round. Although the number is only 3,000, I heard that the personal guard of the 3,000 grand dukes is the most elite infantry in the world even the Pope praises. It is unlikely that we want to attack Bern in a short time." Catlano said truthfully, the sound like sandpaper grinding the ground was really not good.

"I heard of everything, it is said that maybe it's not that powerful. Besides, I hope they are so powerful that we can compare to see who's fist is harder." Meng Zhi curled his lips, looking disbelieving. After all, in recent times when he fought with the Swiss, Meng Zhi found that their strength was just that. He only occasionally encountered several difficult troops. Moreover, the Swiss city wall he had seen now was only three or four meters tall, and he really didn't believe that the Swiss could have a city wall of more than ten meters.

The Swiss capital is an alternative. Logically speaking, the capital of a country will be built into a city, which is conducive to the economic and cultural development of the entire country; but only the Swiss people built their capital into a fortress. Although the fortress is much stronger than the city in terms of military recruitment, military facilities, and fortress defense, the fortress is a fortress after all, and its attributes are destined to be too far behind the city in terms of economy and culture. Bern, which cannot build high-end economic and high-end cultural buildings, decided that as the capital, even the Grand Duke of Switzerland will not prosper, let alone promote prosperity in other parts of the country.

Of course, the reason why Bern was a fortress was not because the Swiss thoughts were alternative, but because, first, Switzerland was the territory of the Holy Roman Empire, and its geographical location and mountainous environment determined that the King of Shinro would build the entire Switzerland into a military and not an economic location that threatened France and Italy; second, the "neighbors" around Switzerland were eyeing it, so naturally, for the Swiss, the importance of military development was far greater than that for the development of the economy.

Although Mengzhi didn't really believe that the Swiss would have more than ten meters high city walls, he also knew what this height meant, which meant that ordinary ladders were unlikely to reach this height, which meant that siege crashes basically could not cause any damage to the city wall (the higher the wall, the thicker the thickness). In other words, if we did not spend time building some unique siege tools in the Western Qin Dynasty, even if there were only one hundred people defending the city in Bern, thousands of troops in the Western Qin Dynasty would not be easily conquered.

"Mengzhi, don't underestimate the enemy. Since Caterano said that, it must be credible." Seeing Mengzhi's appearance, Mengge scolded him a little, but his eyes turned to Coterano.

"I am an Italian. I have seen the Pope's guards. Although I don't know the specific combat effectiveness, if you only look at equipment and mental temperament, you will not be too weak. As for the walls of Bern, I heard a French Count at a cocktail party. He once represented the French royal family to Bern. Even if he exaggerated it, it must be for no reason." Caterano understood Mongo's meaning and explained immediately.

"It seems that there are many variables to attack Bern directly." Bai Zhou stared at the map, and after listening to Caterano's words, he said slowly, "The time, place, and people are not on our side."
