Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon fortress, headquarters of the order of Michael.

The headquarters was ablaze with candles. The 18 Knights of Michael knights, except Su Cheng, gathered together to discuss their strategies against the enemy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the report of the scouts, the vanguard troops of the Holy Hiran Empire, about 50000 people, are rushing towards our Avalon fortress. Now it is only 20 miles away from our Avalon fortress. It is close at hand."

After listening to Willie's words, the Knights present chattered.

20 miles - as Willie just said, this distance is close at hand.

After half a day's discussion, Gary finally got up and said:

"Your Excellency, deputy commander, I think - in the face of the attack of the Hiram army, we just need to defend the Avalon fortress. We have the iron wall of Avalon fortress and 120000 troops. It's not very difficult to block the Hiram army."

"We'll stick to it until the supplies of the Hiram army can't keep up."

"As long as the supplies can't keep up, the Hiram army will naturally withdraw."

Gary's words won the approval of many people present.

Many people agree with Gary's steady play.

The holy Hiram Empire claims to send 800000 troops this time, but anyone who knows the current situation of the holy Hiram Empire knows that this number must be filled with water.

Although the holy Hiram Empire still has the title of "superpower", its national strength is much lower than before.

According to the reports of scouts and spies, the combat troops of the Hiram army this time are only about 300000, and the rest are logistics troops responsible for transporting luggage.

However, even if the Hiram army has only 300000 combat troops, it is a very amazing force scale.

The "summer wind" offensive launched by the British empire against the Lorraine Empire two years ago had only 150000 combat troops.

Faced with such a large army, many knights in the order were timid and involuntarily chose the most stable way to play - to be a shrinking turtle and defend Avalon fortress until the supplies of the holy Helan Empire couldn't keep up.

However, just as Gary's voice fell, Samuel spoke.

Samuel stood up and said:

"I don't all agree with Gary's tactics."

Samuel didn't say superfluous nonsense and explained his attitude towards Gary's proposition concisely and clearly.

As soon as Samuel's voice fell, almost everyone present threw strange eyes at Samuel.

It's not because Samuel's point of view is so amazing, but simply shocked that Samuel spoke.

Samuel has always been a celebrity in the order of Michael.

He always tries to be lazy and doesn't work if he can. But the most amazing thing is that every time he is given a task, no matter what it is, he can complete it on time and in quantity.

In the past, when holding such meetings, Samuel could not speak without speaking, and he always shrank in the corner in a daze.

This time, he stood up and spoke with a serious face.

Therefore, many people present could not help but cast shocked eyes at Samuel.

After hearing Samuel's words, Gary asked Samuel with a dull look:

"Samuel, do you think there is anything wrong with my proposition? You are also a knight with great achievements. You should also know that an iron rule in the war is to give full play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. "

"Compared with the Hiram army with 300000 combat troops, the biggest advantage of our Michael knights is the location of Avalon fortress."

"If you don't give full play to our greatest advantage, do you want to go out of the fortress and fight a decisive battle with the Hiram army in the wilderness?"

As soon as Gary had finished, Samuel immediately replied:

"I agree with Gary that you stick to Avalon fortress until the supplies of the Hiram army can't keep up."

"But I don't agree with you that you should stick to the fortress from the beginning."

"As you said just now, an iron rule of war is to give full play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses."

"But have you forgotten that our Michael Knights have a big advantage in addition to Avalon fortress."

"Our Michael Knights have [the first cavalry of the Empire]."

"In terms of the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, our Michael Knights have always been above the other two knights."

"Even when our Michael knights were weakest, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of our Michael Knights was still the strongest in the whole empire."

The Northern Territory has two of the best horse farms in the Empire, and most of the war horses produced by these two horse farms are also supplied to the Michael knights.

In addition, the military source of Michael's knights has always been the Great North, including the north.

I don't know whether it is caused by genes or the acquired environment. The northerners of the British Empire have always been good at riding horses. Compared with people in other places, northerners can always learn how to ride horses quickly.

The best war horses and the best riders created the reputation of the [first cavalry of the Empire] of the Michael knights.

At the beginning of last year, Su Cheng went to Carol's hometown and invited the blacksmith who knew how to make horseshoes.

After receiving the blacksmith to Baidi City, the blacksmith also gave his horseshoe making technology to the blacksmiths in the north.

After more than a year, blacksmiths in the north have already mastered the manufacturing technology of horseshoes and forged a large number of horseshoes.

At this time, the Michael knights had popularized horseshoes, and the horses of the cavalry of the Michael knights had been installed with horseshoes.

The popularity of Horseshoes has greatly reduced the damage rate of war horses and made the war horses of Michael Knight order more abundant. At the same time, the installation of Horseshoes has also strengthened the speed of war horses and the combat effectiveness of cavalry to a certain extent.

The horseshoe is a powerful addition to the cavalry of the Michael knights, which has improved the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Michael knights, which is already the "first cavalry of the Empire".

After listening to Samuel, Willie raised his eyebrows gently.

Because he understood what Samuel was trying to say.

Sure enough, Samuel's next words confirmed his idea:

"Our Michael Knights now have 18000 cavalry."

"It would be a waste if we didn't give full play to the power of our cavalry."

"So I advocate - take the initiative to attack before the Hiram army reaches the fortress!"

"Pick out the best cavalry and attack the Hiram army!"

"Now the forward of the Helan army is only 20 miles away from us. It's a good time for us to attack!"

"Sending out the fortress to attack the enemy will greatly weaken the morale of the Hiran army and boost our morale."

"If we can weaken the morale of the Hiram army, it will be greatly conducive to the next long city defense."

Samuel's proposition can be said to be very bold.

The garrison, whose troops were in a weak position, wanted to attack.

Therefore, as soon as Samuel's voice fell, all the Knights present immediately chirped to discuss the feasibility of Samuel's proposition.

But there are a few brave people like Samuel.

In the end, only Raymond and Deng Jiaer agreed with Samuel's bold play.

The rest, including Gary, Dale and Eliza, don't agree with Samuel's unstable play.

Willie frowned, thought for a while, and shook his head.

Willie also belongs to the kind of conservatives and doesn't appreciate Samuel's proposition.

After seeing that even Willie didn't agree with his play, Samuel sighed and sat back in his chair with a lost face.
