1473 Invincible Musket 1
Frank Empire, Northern Line, Frank Army Main Formation.
"General Neumann!" One of the generals in charge of the blocking battle against the Sheeran army, Erich, frowned and stared at Doppler standing not far away from him. "What did you say? Let us give up the decisive battle with the Sheeran army? Lead the troops to withdraw to Berlu?"
Doppler leaned his body against the wooden beam behind him and hugged his chest with his hands.
"That's right." Doppler said in a calm tone that was neither salty nor light, "I think it's better for us to give up the decisive battle in the field with the Sheeran army and lead the entire army to withdraw from Berlu as soon as possible."
All the senior generals and officials in the army had gathered in the tent of our army at this time and held their first military meeting on how to defeat the Sheeran army stationed in the north.
At this time, their Frank army had successfully met the Sheeran army led by El on a plain called "Resor" in the northern part of the empire.
El's 80,000 Sheeran troops were stationed in the north of them at this time.
Looking from our formation, you can clearly see the wisps of smoke coming out of their military camp.
Today's meeting was their first military meeting.
But who knew that as soon as the military meeting began, Doppler directly spoke out that no one in the tent could turn a deaf ear to him - he gave up the decisive battle with the Franks and led all troops to withdraw back to Berlu.
Hearing Doppler's speech, the other senior generals in the account all cast doubts, shocked, or angry eyes at Doppler.
"General Neumann." Rudolph, another general in charge of the blocking battle against the Sheeran army, frowned at this time, "Why do you say that? Do you think we can't defeat the Sheeran army in the wild?"
"...can be said so." Doppler replied, "My intuition tells me that if we fight the Sheeran army in a decisive battle in the field, we will be in danger."
As soon as Doppler finished speaking, a burst of noise immediately sounded in the tent.
"intuition?"
"Intuition tells him that it is dangerous to have a decisive battle with Sheeran's army in the field? What is the reason...?"
"As the rumor says, Admiral Neumann is a weird guy who can rely on the protagonist to fight."
"But I heard that Admiral Neuman's intuition is very accurate..."
"General Neumann is still the same... he always says something inexplicable."
...
Some of the senior generals and officials in the account have fought side by side with Doppler.
Some met Doppler for the first time.
Those who have met Doppler know that Doppler's strange temperament of "fighting by intuition".
Those who have never fought side by side with Doppler have heard some rumors about Doppler, knowing Doppler's strange temperament of fighting by intuition, and also knowing that Doppler's intuition has always been very accurate.
"...Admiral Neumann. I know your intuition is accurate." Rudolf said in a deep voice, "But-you should also know that we have not looked back now."
"Your Majesty has given us the order of death--to repel Sheeran's army no matter what."
"If we withdraw Belle without a single arrow, even General Neumann, who is 'unbound by military rules', will not escape severe punishment."
"And - although you are not the kind of general who is responsible for taking charge of the team and commanding troops to fight, you should also know how difficult it is to get an army to retreat when it is already facing a strong enemy, right?"
"... Of course I know." Doppler whispered.
"Now, our opponent is the Sheeran army, which has the same strength as us."
Rudolph continued.
"And the one who commanded the 80,000 Sheeran army was that El Bernard."
"That El is a powerful general who can defeat the grassland people with his inferior forces and drive the grassland people away all the way."
"It's too dangerous to retreat in front of that fierce general."
"So-Admiral Neumann, I'm sorry, I can't accept your proposal."
When Doppler made his proposal, he had actually expected that his proposal would be rejected.
Doppler himself did not think his proposal was feasible.
"I can only... bit the bullet and go..." Doppler murmured like this at a volume that only he could hear clearly, and then sighed softly.
...
...
The next day, early morning—
The Frank Empire, the Northern Line, the Resor Plain, the Frank Army Array, the original formation.
Rudolph stood on the watchtower standing at the front, looking at the Frank army that had already been set up in the north.
"Chief!" Under the watchtower, a senior general shouted to Rudolf, "The troops are ready! You can start fighting at any time!"
"Yeah." Rudolph nodded softly, "Okay!"
Erich, who was standing next to Rudolph, asked Rudolph:
"Rudolph, are you going to start the attack?"
"... Let's start." Rudolph gritted his teeth, "started the battle according to the planned steps agreed at the military meeting last night!"
...
...
"Huh?" El, who was also standing on the watchtower of our formation and observing the movements of the Frank army, raised his eyebrows at this time, "The Frank army has begun to act..."
El, standing on the high watchtower, clearly saw that the Frank army formation in the distance was beginning to move frequently.
A sword and shield soldier with a population of about thousands, holding large shields, lined up in a tight formation and slowly walked towards the Xilan army.
Looking at the thousands of sword and shield soldiers holding high and lined up in a tight formation, El couldn't help but smile.
"So that's it... are you planning to use sword and shield soldiers to fight against my musket..."
El saw the Franks' plan at a glance - he planned to use sword and shield soldiers in close formations to fight against his muskets.
"Since that's the case, let you see if your big shield can block my musket..."
After saying that, El raised his hands to the generals waiting under the watchtower.
"Let the Musketeers go out!"
...
...
The melodious music immediately sounded from the Xilan Army formation.
The musicians who were firmly guarded by the musketeers played the "March of Musketeers".
The musketeers also listened to the melodious music, stepped on the drums, and walked towards the Frankish sword and shield soldiers who were also walking towards them.
Even in the Frankish army, Rudolph could hear this faint music.
To be fair - Rudolph thinks this music is very good and exciting.
If it were normal times, Rudolph might have enjoyed the music well.
But at this time, he obviously had no leisure to enjoy the "Military March".
His eyes stared at the troops walking towards them on the drum beats, and murmured in a deep voice:
Chapter completed!
