Chapter 1212 The strategy of the two armies facing each other across the river under the night(2/2)
"I support you. My Danish army fully supports you." The firm support from Yinvar the Boneless really pleased Askard.
The two boys are almost the same age and have lived together in Novgorod for a while. Their friendship with each other is indeed deep. These two boys can unite an army of a thousand people by gathering the troops they can control. If they two
This decision to act recklessly indeed has the capital to be reckless.
Blue Fox was very torn on this issue. He could not just sit idly by and ignore the Frankish army on the other side of the river, nor could he really put aside all his thoughts and take the initiative to lead the entire army to fight the cavalry regiment to the death.
He also wanted to listen to other people's opinions, but all the nobles began to hesitate.
Grund did not deny launching an attack. After all, he did not believe that the Franks could watch the Ross army carry the loot onto the ship step by step. The entire army was most vulnerable when transferring goods. If it were to save others by itself, the Frank army could easily be in the river section.
Set up a pontoon bridge somewhere and cross the river directly before launching an attack.
The views of Grund and Askard were not tit for tat. When no one else came up with a third view, the blue fox interrupted everyone's free speech.
"The Franks will interfere with our evacuation. They are entrenched in the city, and our operations face the possibility of being attacked. But I don't see the possibility of fighting them with all our strength. With a large amount of loot, the soldiers are more interested in bringing it back safely.
Home, it would be too tragic if you die in battle before setting off."
"Uncle, aren't you just supporting Grund with your nonsense?" Askard pursed his lips and looked dissatisfied.
"Boy, don't talk yet. In my opinion, we have to find a way to drive away the enemy. We can fight, but the scale must be small. All of you should not think that you can defeat the cavalry on the flat ground. If we really fight hard, we will definitely win.
But the price is unbearable for us. Since the Duke of Malaren said that the enemies are stationed in the city, can we set fire to it?"
"You should have set fire to it a long time ago!" Askard's disdainful attitude continued: "I think it would be stupid for you not to set fire to Aachen and return an intact city to them."
"What do you know?! Do you know the price of arson in Aachen?" Blue Fox scolded.
"Why do I care so much? I just want to see the fire. Anyway, my father here will burn every city."
】
Arik is indeed determined to burn down every city, and Blue Fox has no doubt about this. He does not want to mention the Aachen matter anymore. The current problem is to solve the immediate problem. Do you want to set fire to it? Of course! It has even become very necessary.
"Arson is a tactic, not a way to vent anger." Blue Fox emphasized again.
"What do you think now? I think Maastricht must be burned down, just like we did in Liège." Askard shouted rudely, completely ignoring the presence of the Duke of Malaren: "
Anyway, the Malaren people in the city were killed, and there are no living companions of ours there. I think it will work if the Frank cavalry is buried in the sea of fire. Burning a group of cavalry to death is to bury the brothers who died in the battle. Force the living cavalry out,
We will kill them all after we land."
"In my opinion, that's true. They won't fight us to the death again." Blue Fox is quite satisfied that everyone supports the arson tactic at this moment. "They can set fire, but the Franks won't be willing to be burned to death. They will retreat far away.
, In this way, my goal has been achieved. The soldiers are too tired. Let's have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow morning we will organize the manpower to forcefully cross the river and start setting fire on the spot without the cover of the arrows. Their houses are connected together, and eventually the flames can
Set the whole city on fire. In this way, we can avenge the people of Melalen who were killed."
Some people are satisfied with fighting like this, while others can only hold their noses and admit it.
Askard's mind is still thinking of the entire Russian army beating the Frankish heavy cavalry on the banks of the Meuse River. He has a strong desire for victory and glory, and is worthy of his status as the eldest son of Aric. There are people who agree with his ideas, and Yinval is completely
Support, after all, with such a victory, even if I am a lame person, I will have to impress others.
Duke Bjorn of Mälaren, who did not have too many extravagant expectations, was very satisfied with this tactical arrangement.
Bjorn also thought of arson after retreating to the other side. He had no reason to set fire when he was in the city. Now that the loot was lost in large quantities, he had no scruples to vent his anger by burning the city. It was just that his army suffered heavy losses, even if it was arson.
The plan will also be forced to be abandoned because there are too few troops that can still fight.
He is not qualified to teach Lan Fox and other Russians how to do things, so he is very satisfied with the result.
No, Bjorn beat his chest: "Then let's do it. I am willing to personally lead people to join in the arson. The wind direction is in our favor now, and because of the Maas River, the fire rising to the sky cannot burn us."
"Yes." Blue Fox nodded: "The warm southeast wind now is the gods helping us. Let's light more bonfires tonight and prepare more torches tomorrow! Also, it is used to lubricate the slingshot slide and maintain it.
Take out the grease from the cables and soak the cloth strips to make high-quality torches. You all go and arrange for some warriors who are in good spirits to do it separately."
