Chapter 328 Prince Karl's Confidence
Chapter 328 Prince Karl's Confidence
Swain thought that Prince Karl would not attack before the army from the West Road arrived, and it would be the case under normal circumstances, but Swain missed one point, which was Prince Karl's arrogance as a peerless genius.
But all geniuses, especially young geniuses, will have their own arrogance. Prince Karl is known as the Son of God, recognized as the number one person of the younger generation in the mainland, and his arrogance is unmatched by ordinary geniuses.
In Prince Carl's view, the total number of troops stationed by Huaxia on the northern border is only 150,000, while he has 200,000 troops! Adding in the original 30,000 garrison in Nori City, it is 230,000!
He has an absolute advantage in military strength, but he still has to hide and wait for the friendly troops from the west to arrive. This is something Prince Karl's arrogance cannot tolerate. What he has to do is to completely defeat the Huaxia leader before the West Road army arrives! This is worthy of his name as a genius!
What's more, is there any famous commander in China? The only one who can do it is probably Kevin Senlan from the Senlan family. However, Kevin Senlan is just his defeated general, and according to the news from the intelligence department, Kevin led the guarding army of Huaxia to station at the western border, not the northern border. The commander-in-chief of the northern border is just a few unknown soldiers of Huaxia.
That being the case, Prince Karl did not allow himself to stand still and wait for friendly troops. In Prince Carl's view, facing the mob in China, not to mention his superiority in military strength, even if he is at a disadvantage in military strength, he can still win the battle. It was just like the first time when I led the army and defeated the Kingdom of Zizai with the weak and the strong.
This is the self-confidence of Prince Karl, the self-confidence that has been cultivated in the past few years!
Prince Karl rested in the city for a while, and then led an army of 230,000 to Huaxia. At this time, the 150,000 troops of Huaxia's Valoran Legion had already rushed to the border to prepare for the battle.
In the Huaxia leading camp, Allen and others immediately got the news that Prince Karl continued to march south.
"Swain, you seem to have miscalculated this time." Xin Zhao joked with a smile, without the slightest nervousness before the battle.
Swain smiled when he heard the words: "It is true that I miscalculated. As a peerless genius, Prince Carl really has the arrogance of a genius. However, he is willing to take the initiative to attack, which is definitely good news for us. The young man is a bit arrogant. It’s nice, but sometimes you have to pay for your arrogance.”
After finishing speaking, Swain asked Allen for instructions: "My lord, should we guard the city, or intercept it in the wild?"
"If you intercept in the wild, can you be sure of winning the battle?" Allen asked.
Swain said confidently: "In terms of military strength, we are only 80,000 behind the opponent, but we have slightly more high-level troops than the opponent, so it is not a disadvantage. In terms of commander, neither I, Galen, nor Xin Zhao Lose to that Prince Karl."
The meaning of Swain's words is obvious, that is, even if the two armies confront each other directly in the wild, they will not be afraid of each other.
"Then let's fight in the wild," Allen said.
In the previous wars, the Huaxia leader had always been at a disadvantage and could only defend in the city, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack. But doing so will inevitably affect the residents of various towns and villages on the border, which Allen does not want to see. So this time, he decided to go directly to the border and intercept the opponent.
"Swain, Galen, Xin Zhao, you choose a battle location. This location must be selected within the sphere of influence of the territory. Within the sphere of influence, our soldiers can get the strength bonus of the Dragon Soul."
"Understood, my lord." Swain said three people.
The three of Swain studied the map for a while, and finally chose a location. Because there is no natural danger near the border, the three of them chose a plain, about fifty miles away from the border.
Fighting on the plains tests the commander's on-the-spot command ability, and on this point, the three of Swain are confident that they are not inferior to others.
Three days later, Prince Carl led an army of 230,000 across the border and entered the Chinese territory.
"According to the news from the scouts, the 150,000 troops of the Huaxia Leader have set up camp fifty miles away, ready to fight us in a decisive battle in the wild." Prince Carl said with a chuckle, "I thought the Huaxia Leader would choose to defend the city to the death. Some guts."
"What should we do, call directly?" Angus, the third prince of the Sun Kingdom, asked.
Prince Karl shook his head: "The 150,000 troops are in formation. Even if we have an advantage in strength, it is impossible to defeat them in one fell swoop. Moreover, the casualties of the storm are too heavy, so it is completely unnecessary.!"
"We are camping opposite the Huaxia leading camp. I will slowly eat away at them through small-scale battles, and completely break their confidence and morale!"
Prince Carl said himself.
Angus nodded, and said worriedly: "I heard that the Chinese leaders still have some powerful generals, such as Swain and Galen in the intelligence. Are you sure you can defeat them in the battle?"
Prince Karl smiled confidently: "The battle before the formation tests a commander's on-the-spot command ability, the use of changes in the battle formation, the mastery of the combination of arms, and the comprehensive command ability of the entire army! And this kind of ability depends on talent alone. If you don’t come out, you have to rely on the training of actual battles and the accumulation of experience.”
"Since I led the army for the first time, I have experienced dozens of duels before the formation, and I have not lost a single one! And the generals of the Huaxia leader you mentioned live in a corner, what kind of experience do you have in battle?" Prince Carl said proudly.
It's a pity that he was wrong this time. In Valoran, Noxus and Demacia fought endlessly. Swain, Galen, Xin Zhao, which one is not experienced in many battles! It can be said that each of the three of them has experienced more wars than all the wars that have occurred on the mainland since Prince Karl was born.
In terms of experience, the three of Swain are veterans who have experienced many battles, and they think that Prince Carl, who has experienced many battles, is the fledgling.
The reason why Prince Karl is so proud, even a little arrogant and underestimated the enemy, is because his journey has been so smooth. It has been nearly ten years since he led the army for the first time, and Prince Karl has not lost a single defeat in his military career in the past ten years! If anyone had achieved this record, even if the person had a humble character, he would have become conceited in war.
Prince Karl led the troops to a place about ten miles away from the Huaxia leader's camp and stopped. While sending out scouts to guard against the Huaxia leader's surprise attack, he began to direct the soldiers to set up camp.
This distance was specially chosen by Prince Karl. Generally, the sentries in the army are people with excellent eyesight. At a distance of ten miles in the plain, the sentries of both sides can see the other side's camp from the watchtower. The large-scale mobilization of troops in the opposing battalion absolutely cannot escape the eyes of the sentinels.
In the Huaxia leading camp, every move of the coalition forces was sent back to the barracks immediately by the scouts. Some scouts from both sides even encountered each other, and a battle broke out, causing mutual casualties. The coalition forces stopped marching and began camping, and the news was immediately brought back by the scouts.
In fact, there is no need for scouts to report, because the soldiers standing on the watchtower have already seen the black army of 230,000 on the horizon in the distance, covering the land in the distance like a huge black curtain.
After receiving the news that the coalition forces had camped ten miles away, a commander suggested, "Shall we sneak attack them while they are camping?"
Allen shook his head: "Prince Karl has been in battle for a long time. It is impossible to be unprepared when he camps. The chance of surprise attack is not great. Let's send 30,000 vanguard troops to explore their bottom first."
"Xin Zhao?"
"Your subordinate is here!" Xin Zhao stepped forward.
"You take 30,000 soldiers and meet them as a vanguard."
Xin Zhao grinned: "Okay, don't worry, my lord, I will definitely kill them all and let them know how powerful I am!"
After finishing speaking, Xin Zhao walked out of the camp and assembled an army of 30,000 soldiers, heading towards the north to kill.
