In the hall.

Duncan turned to look at Galavin and the others on the left, and said in a deep voice, "Have the Anglo-Saxons made any moves?"

Galavin shook his head and said, "No news for now."

"We've stabilized the defense line on the upper Rhine River. It's not that easy for them to break through."

"But the coastline of Britain cannot be defended so tightly."

That dog-chewed coastline.

Duncan has now diverted a large number of troops, making the coastal defenses of Britain extremely weak. No wonder the ancestors valued the Great Wall so much. This is after subduing the Picts, otherwise, Duncan would still have to station one or two legions at Hadrian's Wall.

Currently, the Britain Kingdom is overseen by the Crow Queen - Triss, and the coastline from Kent to Yorkshire has to be commanded and defended by her.

This wave counts as a full mobilization, with the main legions basically all transferred over.

On the side of the Britain Kingdom, there are only three or four Garrison Marine Corps. If the Saxons invade again, they will have to temporarily recruit militia to resist.

Duncan continued to ask, "What about the Western Goth Kingdom?"

Severus shook his head and said, "Their movements are unclear for now, but they may have already deployed troops."

Intelligence in this era is extremely limited.

Even spies sent out can only gather information about the surrounding battlefield situation. The Western Goth Kingdom is adjacent to the Frank, and facing the rising Britain Kingdom, they are likely to send troops to help. If estimated according to the scale of the Battle of Sharon, the Western Goth Kingdom might send ten or twenty thousand troops.

Calculating this way.

The Britain Kingdom is one thousand against seventy thousand, this wave I have the advantage!

Their army is full of weak spots.

But on Duncan's side, all are basically main legions, and other auxiliary legions also have very strong combat power. Of course, if the logistics and laborers are counted, Duncan can also claim to have thirty or forty thousand men.

"This battle cannot be prolonged."

"The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it is for us! Moreover, the pressure on logistics is also very high."

A cross-sea expedition must open the situation in one go.

Duncan's gaze swept around, his finger slid across the map, spanning across most of France, and said in a deep voice, "My idea is to directly adopt a flanking raid tactic, crushing Molov's rear in one go, while cutting off the connection between the Frank and the Western Goth Kingdom."

"This way, even if the Western Goth Kingdom sends troops, they won't be able to aid the Franks."

God's Whip had such strong military prestige back then, yet was defeated by numerous allied forces.

Duncan must seize the time difference and break the enemy one by one.

That afternoon.

The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh legions advanced and defended along the way, with the main force advancing to the Île-de-France, while Duncan personally led the cavalry and British Legion veterans (mounted infantry) to flank around and penetrate the entire Frank territory.

This tactic is quite risky; historically, Huo Qubing used it against the Xiongnu, and during World War II, Germany used it to attack France. Besides, during the Chu-Han War, the Battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu led thirty thousand elite cavalry southward, defeating Liu Bang's hundreds of thousands of allied forces into a rout.

This is essentially a weakened version of blitzkrieg, a special attack on Frank.

The core of blitzkrieg is speed, surprise attack, and concentration of force.

In this era, only elite cavalry units could accomplish this, as only they had sufficient mobility, while other areas were completely ignored, just cutting through the Frank rear, breaking the enemy's core strength. By then, the overall situation is lost, and the leaders of other Frank tribes could only surrender and submit.

The movements of the Western Goth Kingdom are currently unknown, Duncan must seize the opportunity to achieve a strategic advantage in terms of time difference.

Swift as the wind.

Just as Severus led the British Legion to continue advancing towards Picardy, Duncan personally led three thousand cavalry, detouring from Calais, completely ignoring the towns and strongholds along the way, heading straight for the Champagne region, bypassing the enemy's defenses from the lower Seine River, and used a flanking tactic to penetrate the Burgundy boundary, raiding the rear of the Île-de-France.

This marching route is essentially the reverse of what later Germany did during the blitzkrieg against France.

In World War II, the French army concentrated on the Maginot Line, while Germany attacked through the Belgian region, and Duncan's current position is Champagne-Ardennes area, crossing the Seine River to directly penetrate the heart of the Frank.

Dimension Space.

Duncan personally led the team across the Seine River; not long ago, the army encountered a Frank tribe reinforcement in the Reims area, roughly numbering over a thousand. He gave the enemy no time to react, as the cavalry unit suddenly charged, and with just one round of assault, shattered the enemy into chaos.

In this era, the efficiency of army assembly is very low; if not prepared in advance, it would take a long time for the armies of many tribes to gather.

God's Whip - Attila's strategic route when attacking Gaul was not wrong, he just wasted too much time when besieging Orléans.

Three whole months.

Attila crossed the Rhine River in March and advanced all the way, only to drag until mid-June, when he had to lift the siege and retreat, eventually leading to a decisive battle in the Sharon area.

With someone filling the pit in the front, Duncan naturally wouldn't repeat the same mistake.

After flanking into the Île-de-France area, he immediately dispatched scout cavalry, and the strategic map was zoomed to the maximum.

At this time.

A sound of galloping hooves arose.

Before long, a group of light cavalry dressed as Huns arrived. They were the Huns' mercenaries who had surrendered, because Duncan also possesses a Legendary Level with the Huns, for he commanded about one or two hundred Hunnic Mounted Archers under him.
