Somewhere in the Holy Xilan Empire.

Smoke and dust gathered into a thick smoke screen and rose into the air.

This is the thick smoke and dust produced by the horses' hooves hitting the ground.

Cavalry teams lined up in neat rows and galloped down to the south.

This cavalry corps is naturally the cavalry corps belonging to the Far East Front.

However, this cavalry corps is somewhat different from the other cavalry corps that are also galloping down to the south.

The difference here is that El's main camp is located in this cavalry corps.

"Commander!"

A dusty scout rode a fast horse and rushed straight to El's main camp.

El is now riding his warhorse, galloping south with his subordinates around him. Around him are some senior generals of the Far East Front led by Gabriel.

The scout adjusted his horse's speed to keep the speed of his fast horse the same as that of El's warhorse, so that he can keep pace with El.

"Commander! The Britannia Army arrived at the Revol Plain yesterday at noon!"

"Got it." After hearing the scout's words, El nodded gently, "You should retreat and rest first."

"Yes!"

After the scout rode away from the main camp, Gabriel, who followed closely beside El, sighed softly:

"Have we reached the Revol Plain... The Britannia Army's advance speed is faster than you guessed, El..."

"It doesn't matter." El said softly, "This little error is still within the acceptable range. At present, the actions of the Britannia Army have not exceeded my expectations."

"In another two days, we should be able to reach the front battlefield."

"Two days... Then--" Gabriel stretched out his tone, "Marshal El Bernard, who has only 100,000 troops under his command, do you have any good strategies to repel the enemy?"

The total strength of the Far Eastern Front is 80,000.

After Nikita's 180,000 troops were defeated by Deng Jiaer, the Holy Hilan Empire gathered back a total of 20,000 remnants.

The Far East Front's 80,000 troops plus the 20,000 remnants of the defeated army, only 100,000 troops are available for El to dispatch.

Use the last 100,000 troops of the Holy Hilan Empire to fight against the 300,000 Britannia troops led by Deng Jiaer - this is El's current task.

After hearing Gabriel's question, El smiled bitterly:

"Is it a good strategy to repel the enemy... Alas... If the musketeers were still there, this battle could have been fought more easily..."

In order to fight against the invasion of the Britannia Empire, the Holy Hilan Empire Central Government concentrated all the muskets and musketeers in the country on the front line.

However, they were annihilated by the Britannia Army.

When he learned that the musketeers were annihilated, even the well-educated El couldn't help but have the urge to swear...

The musketeers were annihilated - this means that the last advantage of their Holy Hilan Empire over the Britannia Empire is gone.

It would be fine if the musketeers were wiped out, but what El feared most was that the piles of muskets were collected by the Britannian army and some musketeers were captured by the Britannian army.

Once the Britannian Empire got their muskets, it would only be a matter of time before their musket technology was stolen by the Britannian Empire.

The production of muskets was complicated but not difficult.

The craftsmen of their Holy Hiran Empire were able to develop new muskets from scratch.

Then there was no reason why the craftsmen of the Britannian Empire could not rely on the already formed new muskets and imitate them.

The Britannian Empire also had musket technology - this was what El feared most.

However, now that things had happened, no matter how regretful and depressed El was, it would not help, so he continued to take one step at a time.

After a long sigh,

El smiled:

"Forget it, if there are no muskets, then there are no muskets."

"Even if there are no muskets, we still have a way to deal with the 300,000 Britannia troops."

"The method is also very simple."

"Just ignore them."

...

...

El arrived at his destination, Mofu City, smoothly and on schedule.

After receiving the task of "fighting the Britannia Army", El deduced the marching speed of the Britannia Army based on the intelligence he had collected so far.

And based on the marching speed of the Britannia Army and the marching speed of their Hiran Army, he deduced the city that would become the front line of the battlefield when he arrived at the front line.

That is Mofu City.

When El arrived at Mofu City, the Britannia Army would almost be at the gates of Mofu City.

The walls of Mofu City are high and thick, and with a little modification, they can be used as fortresses and fortresses.

Before leaving the Far East, El sent a fast horse to Elenmuya, requesting the central government to send craftsmen to fortify Mofu City and the other two cities around Mofu City - Mingke City and Ziegler City.

This moment can be regarded as the most critical moment since the founding of the Holy Hilan Empire.

In order to quickly drive the Britannia Army out of the country, all the civil and military officials of the central government united unprecedentedly and tightly grasped El's last straw.

Even Vasili was going to put aside his prejudice against El and was going to devote all his national strength to cooperate with El.

After receiving El's request to fortify Mofu City, Mingke City, and Ziegler City, the monarchs and ministers of the Holy Hilan Empire immediately took action and began to transport a large number of craftsmen and equipment to the Mofu City area.

When El led his army to Mofu City, the fortification of the three cities of Mofu City, Mingke City, and Ziegler City had just been successfully completed.

At this time, the three cities of Mofu City could not be called "cities", and it might be more appropriate to call them "fortresses".

A week after El's troops arrived at Mofu City victoriously, Deng Jiaer's 300,000 troops also successfully arrived at the gates of Mofu City.

The sky above Mofu City was immediately covered with war clouds.

After arriving at the gates of Mofu City, Deng Jiaer did not say much nonsense.

First, according to convention, he sent envoys without any hope, trying to make El surrender through peaceful negotiations.

The result obtained later was exactly what Deng Jiaer expected - El rejected it without hesitation.

After completing the routine "persuasion to surrender" process, Deng Jiaer waved his flag and commanded the troops to launch a tentative attack on Mofu City.

For the other two cities, Deng Jiaer adopted the method of surrounding but not attacking, and put the main force on the attack on Mofu City.

After several consecutive days of tentative attacks on Mofu City, Deng Jiaer frowned.

The defensive strength of Mofu City - far exceeded Deng Jiaer's expectations.

It is impossible to capture Mofu City by force - this is Deng Jiaer's only judgment after the tentative attack.
