Chapter 93 One vs Forty Thousand?

After hearing the shout of 'emergency', Little Lid immediately stood up, came to Jason, and faced the signal soldier.

"read."

While speaking, the valet made several gestures.

The assassination of Gerrard by the new federation is always endless.

Pretending to be a communications soldier, he deliberately used the so-called 'emergency report' to approach Gerald and assassinate him, not once or twice. Therefore, Little Lid arranged a set of passwords that could be changed at any time.

Communications soldiers can impersonate.

But the code is impossible.

Because, even the signal soldiers themselves don't know what the code is today.

Possibly a gesture.

It could also be a secret language.

Or, both are possible.

Just like this time.

After seeing the valet's gesture, the signal soldier responded immediately.

"Pork ribs, roast pork, meatballs."

Hearing the correct code, Little Lid immediately dodged.

"Report, Lord Gerald."

"Your Excellency the Grand Duke 'Yanbao' has sent an urgent official letter!"

"The first and second infantry corps of the new federation suddenly appeared in the territory of 'Yanbao', forming a horny trend against 'Yanbao', the Archduke 'Yanbao' asked for support!"

The communication soldier spoke very fast, and his voice was very clear.

Suddenly, Jason frowned.

Although he doesn't know much about the military, Jason also understands the meaning of two infantry corps suddenly appearing in the territory of 'Swallow Castle'.

Gerrard has said more than once that the "Swallow Castle" is the barrier of Hans's harbour, which protects the harbour from the inland forces.

If the 'Swallow Castle' is lost,

The harbour of Hans will be completely exposed to the artillery fire of the new federation.

Therefore, if Swallow Castle asks for support, Hans Seaport will definitely send troops.

But how to send troops, how much material to carry, etc., Jason can't judge.

So, the next moment, he said this.

"Um."

"understood."

Try to keep Gerald's tone of voice.

Jason gave an ambiguous answer.

Little Lid on the side said cooperatively:

"Call the Commander of the Harbour Guard and all staff officers."

"Including the sheriff, at 111 Durham Street for a meeting in half an hour."

"Yes!"

The signal soldier immediately gave a military salute, turned and ran out.

Little Lid closed the door immediately.

The valet turned around and looked at Jason with a serious face.

"I'm sorry sir."

"I thought we had more time."

"But that one didn't give us much time."

"Let me briefly introduce the people who will be back for the meeting later."

Having said that, the valet began to introduce.

The armed forces of Hans Seaport can be roughly divided into three branches:

Harbor Guard.

Harbor Patrol.

Harbor Guard.

Among them, the harbour defense force includes the navy and army of Hans harbour.

The harbour patrol is responsible for all the security in the harbour, and the chief of security that Jason has met is in charge.

The Harbor Guard is also the smallest and most elite of the three armed groups, Gerrard's escort.

"The head of the Harbor Guard is His Excellency General Anno."

"This is an old man from the seaport, who was your captain of guards and also served as your swordsman instructor for a period of time. He is familiar with the military, and is brave in battle, but has a bad temper."

"So, you arranged for Chief of Staff Sidling to assist him."

"Chief of Staff Sidling is also from the harbor. In his early years, he was a famous captain of the harbor. He was good at planning and layout. He once served as your advisor, and now he also occasionally makes a cameo."

"Both can be trusted."

Little Lid said this and made a special explanation.

Jason looked at the valet.

There are people who can be trusted.

Of course there are untrustworthy ones.

In fact, it was exactly what Jason thought.

"Lord Boft in the Guard can also be trusted."

"But his deputy, His Excellency Gulart, should be one of the undercover agents of the new federation."

"We haven't touched him for the time being in order to put a long line to catch a big fish."

"The commander of the escort was my father before, and now it is me."

Little Lid said as he turned and walked towards the wall with curtains hanging on one side.

The valet ripped open the curtain.

A map depicting Hans Harbour, Swallow Castle, and the interior appeared directly in front of Jason's eyes.

Under Jason's gaze, two black flags were inserted outside the 'Swallow Castle'.

"The first and second infantry corps of the new federation have a full strength of 20,000 people."

"Among them, the First Soldier Corps is the one that participated in the previous 'Battle of the Old and the New'. Many of them were soldiers under your command, but those who can stay are all inclined to the 'Emerton III' of."

"The Second Infantry Corps was formed at the end of the 'Battle of the Old and New', and was mainly responsible for cleaning the battlefield at that time."

Little Lid introduced.

"What about us?"

"how many people?"

Jason asked.

"The Harbor Defense Force, the Navy has 88 sailing battleships, including 2 Tier 1 ships, 36 Tier 2 ships, and 50 Tier 3 ships. The Navy currently has about 20,000 people in service."

"The army has a complete infantry corps, with a number of 10,000, well-equipped, and can be put into battle immediately after long-term training. The old general has also trained a cavalry force of 2,000 people, which can also be put into battle at any time."

"There are 2,500 people in the harbour patrol. They are used to daily tasks and cannot be effective in head-to-head combat."

"There are 800 harbor guards, they can adapt to any battlefield, and they are your trump card."

Jason listened to Little Lid's introduction and looked at the map again.

Hans harbour has an absolute advantage in the navy.

But in the battlefield of 'Yanbao', the navy could not be dispatched, and only the army was left.

With 12,000 people who are full of calculations, facing two full establishments and 40,000 people who have participated in real wars, Jason, who has never participated in any large-scale military battles, doesn't know how to fight.

Moreover, it is impossible to send all the seaport armies.

Therefore, all he can think of is to send some troops to reinforce the terrain relying on the 'Swallow Castle' to defend, and then look for opportunities to counterattack.

As for more?

Could it be done by him alone?

1vs40000?

After thinking about it seriously, Jason felt a little suffocated.

So he asked Little Lid.

"How many people are there in 'Yanbao'?"

"The Grand Duke 'Yanbao' is not very good at military. All the troops of 'Yanbao' add up to about 10,000 people, and the weapons are ordinary. However, with the support of the city wall, it is not difficult to support our reinforcements."

Little Lid replied.

"What advice do you have?"

Jason asked.

At times like these, Jason thinks it's better to ask a professional.

"Fight a protracted war!"

Little Lid replied immediately.

Then, the valet pointed to the map and explained.

"We have shipping, which can continuously transport food and materials from the southern islands, and then deliver materials to the nearby 'Swallow Castle'!"

"And the transport supply line of the 'Emerton III' is very long and requires a lot of manpower to maintain. Ten catties of food are transported to the front line, and there are only three catties left. Moreover, the cavalry trained by General Anno can completely detour. Go between the 'Yanbao' and the inland, harass the other party's supply line, and at the same time cooperate with the elite of the escort army to trap and kill the other party's 'Dark Guardian' formation."

"As long as the other party's supply line is broken, the victory of this war belongs to us."

Little Lid made a sound.

Jason nodded again and again.

These were things he had never thought of.

Then, Little Lied began to tell Jason some details to pay attention to.

This is to be said by Jason in a short meeting.

Just when the two of them had finished discussing, General Anno of the Harbor Guard, the Patrol Corps, Chief of Staff Sidling, Chief of Sheriff Boft, and Deputy Goulart had appeared on the fifth floor of 111 Durham Street. ran up.

The signal soldier looked anxious, rushed past several people, and came directly to Jason——

"Urgent report!"

"'Swallow Castle' has fallen!"
