Chapter 504: Southern 10-Character Star Project (Part 1)

"Cross... star?" Crow Chanyu frowned, "I remember that in the history of you Britannia people, there was once a famous battle codenamed Cross Star."

"That's right." Bancro nodded, "Thousands of years ago, our great ancestor 'King of Knights' Arthur Pendragon launched a decisive battle against the western barbarians. The operation code name is Northern Cross."

"The reason why we codenamed this war of annihilation against the Frank Empire as Cross Star is because we hope that this war of annihilation against the Frank Empire will be like the Northern Cross of the 'King of Knights' thousands of years ago. Such a beautiful win in a blitzkrieg."

"I hope that just like the 'Knight King' relied on the Northern Cross Blitz to completely defeat the Western Barbarians, we can rely on the Southern Cross Plan to completely defeat the Frank Empire and end the Hundred Years' War."

After listening to Bancro's words, Crouch's brows furrowed even more tightly, and then he said:

"To put it simply, your Britannian Empire hopes to form an alliance with our Huns to jointly implement the 'Southern Cross Plan' and attack the Frankish Empire from the east and west, right?"

"That's right."

"...Tell me the specific details of your Southern Cross plan, and I will judge based on the content of your plan whether we Huns should ally with your Britannian Empire. After all, I am the leader. , such a major matter as forming an alliance cannot be decided hastily.”

"And I'm also very curious about how you plan to deal with the Frank Empire. The Frank Empire is a very difficult enemy. Although I don't want to admit it, this is indeed a fact."

"The Frankish Empire has a military power that we, the Huns, who grew up on horseback, have to admire. Are you confident that we can completely defeat the Frankish Empire with this Southern Cross Plan?"

"Yes!" Bancro replied forcefully.

"Then let me hear about your Southern Cross plan."

"That's natural." Bancro nodded and said with a smile, "Then let me tell you about the general content of our Southern Cross Project."

"As Your Excellency Shan Yu just said, the Frankish Empire has a very powerful military and national power. It has the strongest cavalry among the four empires, and has two heavy armored troops, the Iron Armored Holy Cavalry and the Holy Armored Soldier. It is also the country with the most astonishing heavy armor power among the four empires."

"But the Frankish Empire had a very fatal weakness."

"Fatal...weakness?" Crouching Shanyu asked hesitantly.

"That's right. The most fatal weakness of the Frank Empire is that its economy is very poor. In terms of economic level, the Frank Empire is the worst among our four empires."

"The reason is that the Frankish Empire has always pursued a general strategy of militarism."

"The Frankish Empire had to invest most of its fiscal revenue into the army every year in order to maintain such a strong military strength."

"The expenditure on the armored holy cavalry alone is enough to support a huge regiment of hundreds of thousands of people."

"The Frankish Empire was so aggressive that it brought a very fatal weakness to itself, that is, its economy was very poor, and its citizens basically lived in a state of misery even though they would not starve to death. s level."

“The Frankish Empire’s poor economy means that the Frankish Empire lacks the ability to sustain wars and fight large-scale wars.

At the same time, it also means that the Frank Empire lacks the ability to quickly replenish its losses. "

"Its armored holy cavalry has not yet recovered to the number of 20,000, which is a good proof."

"More than two years ago, a talented knight from our Britannia Empire who was not yet 18 years old commanded a large-scale battle called the 'Rescue Battle of the Kingdom of Lund'. In that battle , this genius knight successfully wiped out 4,000 armored holy cavalry."

"Annihilate all 4,000 armored holy cavalry?!" Crouch Chanyu took a breath of cold air at the corner.

In a roundabout way, Kro Chanyu had heard about the name of the Iron Armored Holy Cavalry for a long time, and had personally witnessed many battles involving the Iron Armored Holy Cavalry.

The Iron Armored Holy Cavalry is such a powerful heavy cavalry unit, and Crouchan Yu knows the route very well.

Therefore, after learning from Bancro that a young man who was less than 18 years old at the time had annihilated 4,000 armored holy cavalry in just one battle, Shanyu Zhuangcrow couldn't help but be extremely surprised.

"That's right." Bancro nodded, "that is, 4,000 armored holy cavalry were wiped out. By the way, that young genius knight has now been promoted by our Emperor to protect the Britannia Empire. The leader of the Michael Knights, one of the three major knights, guards the northern gate of our empire."

"More than two years have passed since our talented knight wiped out 4,000 armored paladin. The Frank Empire has been unable to replenish its troops in time. So far, the armored paladin has not been able to recover to its original strength. The number is 20,000.”

"Combined with the intelligence we have collected, we have deduced a piece of information that is crucial for us to formulate a national annihilation war plan against the Frank Empire. The Frank Empire's economic situation is not ideal, and its ability to repair the losses of its troops is very poor. "

"The Frankish Empire is very inefficient at recovering damage, so as long as it can kill most of its troops, it will not be able to recover for a very long time in the future!"

"Therefore, the main purpose of our Southern Cross Plan is not to occupy more or less territory and cities in the Frank Empire, but to kill and injure the Frank Empire's troops as much as possible!"

"As long as most of the Frankish Empire's army is damaged, it will be easy to capture the Frankish Empire's DìDū Bailu. If we cannot cause huge damage to the Frankish Empire's army, then it will be meaningless how much land we capture from the Frankish Empire."

"...I see, the purpose is not to capture the city, but to kill the armies of the Frank Empire..." Crouched Chanyu muttered, "Such a strategy is indeed very suitable for an organization like the Frank Empire." It’s an opponent whose strength is equal to ours, but whose ability to repair damage is very poor... But how do you, the Britannian Empire, plan to massacre the Frankish Empire’s army?”

"As for how to mass-kill the armies of the Frank Empire, we plan to use a tried-and-tested tactic where the enemy knows it is a trap but has no choice but to jump in. We are convinced that after using this tactic, the Frank Empire's troops will The main army will definitely be attracted by us."

After saying that, an intriguing smile appeared on Bancro's face.
