The second day of the offensive and defensive battle of Avalon fortress.

As soon as the sun rose on the second day, the Hiram army launched a fierce attack on Avalon fortress as yesterday.

And Michael's knights also kept the city wall alive.

Today's fighting is also at an impasse as it was yesterday.

The two armies were constantly sawing on the outer wall of Avalon fortress.

However, from the overall situation of the war, the order of Michael had the upper hand.

After all - the order of Michael only needs to keep the wall from being taken away by Hiram's army.

At noon, a distinguished guest arrived at Avalon fortress.

……

……

Fort Avalon, command room.

"Mr Humphrey, I didn't expect you to get to the fortress so soon." The old man standing in front of Su chengchong showed a helpless smile.

The old man standing in front of Su Cheng is Humphrey, the governor of the north.

Last night, Su Cheng asked Willie to contact the northern border administration and asked Humphrey to come to Avalon fortress. He wanted to discuss important matters with Humphrey.

Su Cheng's reason is that Humphrey may arrive at Avalon fortress in two days. Unexpectedly, Humphrey arrived at noon the next day.

After Humphrey arrived at Avalon fortress, Su Cheng immediately welcomed Humphrey to the command room of the headquarters of the Knights.

At the same time, he ordered the command room to be blocked, and no one, including Willie, was allowed to approach the command room until the end of his conversation with Humphrey.

After hearing Su Chenggang's words, Humphrey smiled gently:

"Defeating the invading army of the holy Hiram empire is a top priority for our country at present."

"How could I not take it seriously when I learned that, your excellency, you have important matters about this war and want to discuss with me?"

"After receiving the news that you wanted to have a secret negotiation with me, I rushed over without stopping."

"Then -- let's talk about it first."

After that, Humphrey's expression slowly became serious.

"Sir, what is the important matter you want to discuss with me? Is it a plan on how to keep Avalon fortress? "

After listening to Humphrey's words, Su Cheng's face gradually appeared serious.

"No, it's not how to keep Avalon fortress."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng's left corner of his mouth tilted slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

"But how to encircle and annihilate the 300000 Hiram army."

As soon as Su Cheng's voice fell, Humphrey stopped his hand, which was just touching his short beard.

His eyes stared at the boss and stared at Su Cheng.

"The strategy of encircling and... Annihilating... 300000 Hiram troops?"

"That's right." Su Cheng nodded seriously.

"..." Humphrey was silent for a long time.

After a long silence, Humphrey finally said:

"... sir, I know nothing about the art of war."

"But I also know some basic military knowledge."

"If you want to encircle and annihilate the enemy, you must at least have several times the enemy's strength."

"The battle troops of the Hiram army have a full 300000 people, while the cavalry of Michael against the enemy has only 120000 people."

"The total force is less than half of the Hiram army. How can we encircle and annihilate the 300000 army?"

"Does your excellency want to ask the Central Committee for reinforcements and request the Gabriel knights on the Rhine front or the Rachel knights on the southern front to go north to help?"

As soon as Humphrey had finished, Su Cheng immediately replied:

"I do intend to ask the central government for reinforcements, but the reinforcements I want to ask are not the order of Rachel or the order of Gabriel."

After that, Su Cheng quickly walked to the big map hanging on the wall in the command room.

"Mr Humphrey, please look."

Humphrey followed closely and stood side by side with Su Cheng in front of the big map.

"I don't need the help of other knights. With 120000 people in my hand, I can completely surround and annihilate the 300000 Hiran army."

"Normally, it is absolutely impossible to surround and annihilate 300000 people with 120000 people."

"But the terrain of the eghal corridor - makes this impossible possible!"

Su Cheng took out the Knight Sword around his waist and replaced the baton with the Knight Sword in his hand.

Su Cheng raised his Knight Sword and pointed it at the map:

"Mr Humphrey, you should know."

"We, the britannian Empire and the holy Helan Empire, divide our borders by the eghal mountains running east-west."

"The eghar mountains are the highest and largest mountains in the mainland. Normal people can't cross the eghar mountains at all."

"If you want to cross the eghar mountains, you can only go through the only gap in the mountains, that is, the eghar corridor where we are now."

"We, the britannian Empire and the Holy Hiran Empire, each control the north and South sections of the eghar corridor."

"We built the Avalon fortress in the southern section of the eghar corridor."

"The Holy Hiran Empire built the mukhawitz fortress in the northern part of the eghar corridor."

"The two fortresses of Avalon fortress and muhawitz fortress are equivalent to the north and South openings of the eghar corridor."

After that, Su Cheng pointed his sword tip to muhavitz fortress in the north of the map, and then to Avalon fortress in the south.

"As long as these two openings are sealed, the eghal corridor can be blocked!"

As soon as Su Cheng's voice fell, Humphrey's eyebrows raised.

Although he doesn't know military, Humphrey is not a fool.

After listening to Su Chenggang's words, Humphrey has realized what Su Cheng's plan is.

"Your Excellency, you mean..." Humphrey hesitated. "Are you going to take muhawitz fortress, block the north and South openings of the eghar corridor, seal the eghar corridor and cut off the supplies of the 300000 Hiran army?"

"That's right."

Seeing Humphrey's quick comprehension, Su Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and then continued:

"It's like a straw. If you plug the upper and lower openings, the water in the straw won't flow out."

"As long as we give full play to the unique topographic characteristics of the eghar corridor, we can completely surround 300000 people with 120000 people!"

"As long as we can take the muhavic fortress, we can seal the whole eghar corridor from south to North together with the Avalon fortress."

"The 300000 Hiram troops without supplies will be demoralized in a few days."

"Then it will be time for us to wipe them out."

"... Your Excellency, your plan sounds really wonderful." Just then Humphrey suddenly hesitated, "but how can we take the fort muhavitz?"

"If you can't win the mukhawitz fortress, your idea just now is just a fantasy."

"The mukhawitz fortress is at the north end of the eghar corridor."

"What can we do to win the fort muhawitz at the north end of the eghar corridor?"

"My Michael Knights alone can't do it. So - I need the central government to allocate reinforcements to me. "

"I need the central imperial navy to help me!"

"As long as there is the help of the Imperial Navy, there will be a chance to win the muhavitz fortress!"
