Chapter 738: Battle to Capture Muhawiz Fortress (V)

"I'm so envious..."

Camille whispered in a low voice that only she could hear.

The Britannia Empire is the only country on the mainland that allows women to participate in the military and politics.

Camille was envious of this.

The Holy Hiran Empire does not allow women to join the army, let alone participate in politics.

No matter how talented Kamil is, he will never have the opportunity to participate in politics in the Holy Shiran Empire and show off his talents.

Camille became increasingly anxious about the fact that she was a girl and could not participate in politics in the Holy Shiran Empire.

After continuing to cast a few envious glances at the female soldier of the Knights of Michael, Camille retracted her gaze, turned around, and turned away.

…

…

Under Dominic's rapid march day and night, the 270,000-strong army finally arrived at the gates of the Muhawicz Fortress.

Looking at the four flags of the Knights of Michael, the flag of the Empire of Britannia, the flag of the Britannia Army, and the flag of the Navy of the Britannia Empire floating on the top of the fortress, Dominic felt particularly special. It was dazzling and the mood became heavier.

It took a lot of time to wait for the 170,000 troops from the front line to come back and march to the gates of the Muhavic Fortress.

Now there is only 10 days left for Dominic.

He must recapture the Muhawicz Fortress within these 10 days! Otherwise, the nearly 300,000 troops under his command will collapse due to the loss of supplies.

It was early in the morning when Dominic led the army to the south gate of the Muhawicz Fortress.

After a brief rest, Dominic immediately commanded the elite troops in the army to launch a fierce attack on the Muhawicz Fortress.

Perhaps it was the desire for survival that was at work. From high-ranking generals like Dominic to ordinary soldiers, everyone in Xilan's army fought bravely.

Most of the battles Willy had fought in the past were field battles, and he had not participated in many city defense battles, so he was not good at defending cities.

Therefore, facing the fierce attack of Hiran's army on the first day, the generals of the Michael Knights in the Muhawicz Fortress did not fight well.

Although the Michael Knights did not lose the south gate of Muhawicz Fortress until night fell, this battle gave Dominic and all the generals of the Hiran Army a glimmer of hope.

It gave them a glimmer of hope to recapture the Muhawicz Fortress.

…

…

After the first day's battle, Willy summoned all the knights in the army to summarize and review today's battle and make plans for subsequent battles.

At the meeting, the atmosphere was very awkward.

Everyone, look at me,

Let me look at you.

To be honest, today's battle was not pretty.

Although it was also due to the fact that the generals of Xilan's army had greatly increased their combat power due to their desire to survive, the poor command of their group of knights was also a very important reason.

One of the important reasons for their poor command was that they were not familiar with the Muhawicz Fortress.

Avalon Fortress may be more familiar to them than their hometown. They can tell where a weed grows in any corner of the city wall.

But they knew nothing about the Muhawicz Fortress.

Because they were not familiar with this fortress, everyone from knights to ordinary soldiers suffered a lot here.

Today there was even a squadron that got lost in the fortress because it was unfamiliar with the Mukhervits Fortress when it came to support the southern city wall.

In addition, there is another very important reason, which is that Willy, as the commander-in-chief, is not good at defending the city.

So Willy is the most embarrassed person in this meeting right now.

Because he was not good at defending the city, he issued many inappropriate orders.

I thought the defenders on this wall could still withstand it, so I didn't send reinforcements in time.

Thinking that the Xilan army's offensive on that wall would be stronger, they sent in a lot of reinforcements that were not needed at all.

Willy made this type of mistake today.

Fortunately, although today's battle was not pretty, it still withstood waves of turbulent offensives from the Hiran army and defended the Mukhervitz Fortress, preventing the fortress from being recaptured.

At the beginning of the meeting, Willy first apologized to everyone and deeply apologized for his poor performance today.

After Willy started, those who felt that their performance today was not very satisfactory also stood up and made reflections.

After this brief review meeting ended, the real highlight of the meeting entered: discussing future combat strategies.

"Let's reiterate our current combat goals first."

Willy said loudly to everyone present.

"Our current only combat goal is to delay!"

"Secure the Muhawicz Fortress and not give Hiran's army a chance to re-open the supply line until the supply of the nearly 300,000 troops in the corridor is exhausted!"

"Let's not mention our own problems for the time being."

"The nearly 300,000 troops in the Eghar Corridor have unleashed an astonishing amount of combat power in order to survive. This is also an important reason why today's battle was fought like this."

"If we don't find a way to dampen the morale and fighting spirit of Xilan's army, then the subsequent battles will surely be as difficult as today."

"I plan to think of a strategy to destroy the morale and fighting spirit of Xilan's army."

"I wonder if you guys have any strategies?"

As soon as Willy finished speaking, all the knights present started talking.

As Willy said just now, if they could come up with a strategy to hit the fighting spirit and morale of the Hiran army, it would be very beneficial to their subsequent battles.

But after a lot of discussion, no feasible strategy was discussed.

Finally, Samuel proposed a tactic that sounded feasible.

"How about sending out the cavalry?"

In this "Northern Great Turn" operation, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th armies were responsible for launching a surprise attack across the sea and capturing the Mukhavets Fortress.

In order to cope with possible changes in the battle situation, the 4 armies also brought their cavalry - a total of 12,000 cavalry.

However, after bringing the cavalry of the 4 armies, these 12,000 cavalry had no chance to show their skills from beginning to end.

Whether it was the landing battle on the Blue Water Port or the attack on the Mukhavets Fortress, the cavalry had no chance to appear.

Samuel suggested: When the Hiran army began to retreat and rest at dusk, open the south gate and send out the cavalry to attack the retreating Hiran army.

Dusk is the time to end the day's battle, retreat and rest, or prepare for a possible night battle tonight.

This will be the time when the Hiran army is least alert.

Seize this flaw when the Hiran army is least alert and send out the cavalry to attack.

"The sudden attack by the cavalry can more or less reduce the fighting spirit and morale of the Hiran army" - this is what Samuel said just now.

Although Samuel's proposal sounds good and the most feasible, there are also many problems in it.

Dale took the lead in asking the biggest question:

"Send a cavalry team to attack nearly 300,000 troops? Who will lead this cavalry team?"
