Chapter 1402: Luo Lin’s Army on a Rapid March

Willie was looking at the map on the table leisurely in the main camp.

He was sure that Orleans would fall soon, and he had already begun to deduce the route of advance after conquering Orleans.

However... when Willy was pouring all his body and mind into the map on the table, an anxious shout suddenly came from outside the tent:

"Deputy commander! There are scouts returning to the camp! There is urgent military information to report!"

"Emergency military information" is a very sensitive word for a commander like Willy.

Willy quickly withdrew his attention from the map on the table and shouted:

"Let the scouts come!"

"Yes!"

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and a dusty scout stumbled into the tent because of fatigue.

"Commander!"

After entering the tent, the scout immediately said in a hurry:

"The Rolin army in the direction of Tuli has begun to move!"

Willy's pupils shrank suddenly.

But he quickly regained his composure.

He asked in a deep voice:

"Which direction to move? How fast?"

"Towards Orleans! The speed is quite amazing! The whole army is marching towards Orleans at a rapid pace! It will take about 2 days to reach the city of Orleans!"

"What?!"

Willie couldn't help it anymore and exclaimed.

Willie had already read the map of the area from Tuli to Orleans hundreds of times. Willie knew how long it would take to travel back and forth between the two places.

From Tuli to Orleans, if you march at a normal speed, it will take about 5 days.

According to the latest intelligence just delivered by the scouts, the Rollin army will reach the city of Orleans in about 2 days.

The journey that originally took 5 days now only takes 2 days-you can imagine how fast this march is.

Willie turned his eyes back to the map on the table.

He began to think about what motivated the Rollin army to suddenly start a rapid march.

A rapid march is actually a very dangerous way of marching.

Letting the whole army march at high speed will consume the soldiers' physical strength rapidly.

Even if they successfully reach the destination at the fastest speed, but the soldiers have no physical strength to fight, then this forced march is meaningless.

How to make the troops march as fast as possible and keep the soldiers as strong as possible - this is a test of the commander's command level.

When Su Cheng was chatting with Willy, he told Willy more than once: Don't let the troops march unless there are special circumstances.

——Why did the 70,000 Luo Lin troops who had been dormant outside Tuli suddenly start to march quickly...

While Willy was thinking about this in his heart, he conceived one possibility after another in his mind.

But every possibility he conceived was rejected by Willy one by one.

No matter how Willy thought, he couldn't think of the reason why the Luo Lin army did this.

If you want to rescue Orleans, just march at a normal speed. Why do you need to march quickly?

Is it because they are afraid that Orleans will fall?

Or maybe they are planning to catch our army off guard...

Willis thought about it and felt that the most likely guess was that the Rollin army planned to catch them off guard.

However... who would send such a large army to launch a surprise attack on the enemy?

If they wanted to launch a surprise attack on the enemy, they would basically only send a small-scale elite force, which would be concealed enough and not easily discovered by the enemy.

And the Rollin army directly sent out 70,000 troops, all of them rushed to Orleans...

...

...

Willis really couldn't think of the reason why the Rollin army launched a forced march, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

He began to think about other things instead.

Willy realized that when the 70,000 Rollin army launched a forced march, it was the best time to defeat and annihilate them in one go.

Just as Willy was thinking about the strategy to meet the enemy,

another announcement came from outside the tent:

"Deputy Commander! Commander Harry asks you to go to the main camp of the Knights of Raziel for a meeting!"

"Oh, what a coincidence." Willy's mouth curled up slightly, "I just wanted to find Harry too."

...

...

Willie only took Raymond to the main camp of the Knights of Raziel for a meeting.

Harry and Willy learned almost at the same time that the 70,000 Roland troops that were originally dormant in the suburbs of Tuli had started a forced march and rushed straight towards Orleans.

And Harry and Willy also thought at the same time very tacitly-this is a great opportunity to defeat the 70,000 Roland troops in one go.

The 70,000 Roland troops are now "taking 2 days to complete a 5-day journey"-it is conceivable how much physical energy they consume for the Roland soldiers.

Therefore, Harry and Willy both thought that instead of waiting for the Rowling army to come, it would be better to take the initiative to attack and defeat the Rowling army that was exhausted due to the rapid march.

Harry and Willy hit it off and immediately began to deploy the attack.

Willy thought that only his Michael Knights would be needed to attack.

Although his Michael Knights only had 50,000 people, it was not a problem to deal with the 70,000 Rowling army that was exhausted due to the rapid march.

But Harry disagreed.

At Harry's insistence, the troops responsible for meeting the 70,000 Roland troops were changed to 50,000 troops of the Knights of Michael, plus 30,000 troops of the Knights of Raziel, totaling 80,000 troops.

Harry drew 30,000 troops from his 100,000 Knights of Raziel to participate in this meeting.

Harry led the remaining 70,000 troops to continue besieging Orleans.

Harry made such an arrangement for the sake of insurance and victory in the battle, so Willy had no reason to refute, so he nodded in agreement.

After deciding which troops would meet and the route of advance, Willy and his men immediately took action.

Harry led the Knights of Raziel to continue besieging Orleans.

Willy led the 50,000 troops of the Knights of Michael and the 30,000 troops of the Knights of Raziel to leave the city of Orleans and head south to meet the 70,000 Roland troops who were rushing towards this side at a high speed.

In order to speed up the march and improve the offensive efficiency after arriving at the battlefield, Willy divided the 80,000 troops into two teams.

The 50,000 troops of the Knights of Michael formed one team, and the 30,000 troops of the Knights of Raziel formed another team.

Willy personally led the 50,000 troops of the Knights of Michael, and the 30,000 troops of the Knights of Raziel were commanded by a knight of the Knights of Raziel, Fanlan.

The two teams were divided into two groups and went to meet the 70,000 Luolin troops.

The troops divided into two groups successfully met the 70,000 Luolin soldiers who were exhausted due to the rapid march, and then the two groups launched a pincer attack and defeated the 70,000 Luolin troops in one go - this was the strategic idea that emerged in Willy's mind.
