Section 58 Determination
After the conversation just now, the other three people in the conference room could see that Bowen Wright had other plans. Tra Rensko, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, asked directly at the signal of the other two.
Bowenwright shook his head when he heard Tra Rensko's question, chuckled and glanced at the three of them separately, then stared at the map and pointed his finger at the military formation arranged by the undead legion west of the city and said, "If you were the commander of the undead legion, what would you do now?"
"Well... I mean, how can I get fromβ" Bowenley's finger slid lightly, swiping through all of his own defensive lines, "Break through the strong defenses of Elok City and capture Elok City in two days?"
The other three were a little confused by the questions that Bowenright asked, and while they were stunned, Bowenright continued: "I have studied the file of Muvet-FΓΌller, and this is a very cunning man, who has a keen ability to think, and can do whatever it takes for his own ends, do you think such a person would abandon the western front for nothing?"
"As I said earlier, the battle of Elok Territory now needs a breach, and not only are we looking for it, but our enemies are also looking for it. Bowenwright pointed to the 'Adiri Line', "and this breakthrough is obviously here..."
The old knight straightened his back, took a step back and looked at the panoramic map of the Eluk Territory, and said: "The reason why Muvet-Phil did not dare to occupy the southern plain of the city with a strong force some time ago was because of the threat of our kingdom's eastern camp and the mage tower, and at the same time, he was also afraid that his main force would fall into the city attack and defense battle, but at this moment... The battle of the Iruk Territory has become clear, and we have almost all the cards in each other's hands. β
Hearing the old man's analysis, Hades's eyes staring at the map suddenly flashed, and he subconsciously said: "So, now Muvet-Phil wants to have a decisive battle with us in the southern plains of Iruk City to decide the outcome of this battle!"
Bowen nodded and shook his head with a smile, but Tra Rensco, who was next to him, began to think along Hades' train of thought, and said, "But even so, he doesn't have to completely abandon the western front, unless... Unless he doesn't have enough troops. β
Bowenwright smiled noncommittally, "You look at the current transfer of the Undead Legion, what would you think if you follow the conventional idea?"
The old knight smiled when he asked this question, and without waiting for the three of them to answer, he asked himself:
"Actually, the answer has been given from your analysis just now... Under normal circumstances, we must subconsciously think that the undead legion wants to reinforce the 'Adiri Line', and what is our choice? Do we send the main force to reinforce the 'Adili Line'? Or take the opportunity to attack the undead legion front in the west of the city and defeat the stronghold of the undead legion here in one fell swoop?"
"What would you choose?" asked Bowen Wright.
"Reinforcement of the 'Adiri Line'. Tra Rensco did not hesitate to give an answer, "The city of Iruk has a strong walled defense, so there is no need to worry at all... But it's not easy to say from Major General Barker that we need to make sure the 'Adiri Line' is safe. β
"If our decisive battle is really to be fought in the plains south of the city, we must first ensure the security of the west. Hades glanced at Tra Rensko, "The 'Adiri Line' has the assistance of the Mage Tower and the Misha Kingdom, and the two elite regiments of the Kingdom are also rushing to help, I believe that there should be no problems in the short term." As he spoke, he looked at Botlem, who had been silent for a long time, "And I'm sure the Mage Tower won't watch the 'Adiri Line' collapse, right?"
Botlem smiled wisely and whispered, "The Council only cares about the safety of the Yekjar military port, of course... We are also always available to lend a hand if our allies need it. β
Bowenwright had a very special smile on his face when he heard the words of the three of them, and that smile seemed to be mocking the people around him, as well as himself. Tra Rensko looked at such a smile, her eyelids kept jumping, and she couldn't help but ask, "General, what are your plans?"
That particular smile on Bowenwright's face became even more evident after Tra Rensco's questioning.
"Very good, you guys are all very thoughtful... Routine. Bowenwright said softly, "But... None of this is what I want... I also want to have a decisive battle with the undead army in the south of the city, but if the 'Adiri Line' is too strong, how can the undead army appear in the south of the city?"
Tra Leinster frowned immediately after hearing Bowenley's words, the dissatisfaction in his eyes did not have the slightest reservation, and he said in a stiff tone: "I always thought that your plan was to fight a conventional war of defensive counterattack based on the 'Adiri Line', and break the defense of the undead legion in the western region of the Iruk Territory from the flank. β
"What do you think?" asked Botlem.
"Yes. β
"You think so too?" Bowenright asked as he looked at Hades.
"Yes. β
"That's what I thought before. Botlem didn't wait for a question to ask, and rushed to answer.
Tra Rensko said as soon as Botlem could speak, "And now, I know you want to lure the undead into the plains south of the city and have a head-to-head confrontation with them. β
"If you want to lure the undead into the Southern Plains. Tra Leinster's voice unconsciously increased, "Then youβ" He probably realized that his tone was wrong, and quickly lowered his voice again, "Then you shouldn't have done so much in front, and you shouldn't have let Major General Buck go deep into the Elok territory." β
"Do you think so?" Bowenwright whispered, as if he hadn't heard Tra Rensco's words, "So, what I want to ask is... Does Muvet Phil think the same way? Does he also think that I am going to play a counter-attack battle in the 'Adiri Defence'?"
Tra Rensco was stunned by Bowenwright's sudden rhetorical question, and the other two raised their eyelids in surprise.
Then there was silence in the room.
The silence didn't last long, and Tra Rensco couldn't help but say at first: "So, you didn't even hesitate to let Knight Rennes lead the heavy cavalry to reinforce the 'Adiri Line', just to make Muvet Phil believe that you are going to fight a defensive counterattack battle on the 'Adiri Line'?"
The hoplite cavalry corps, the most elite corps of the Kingdom of Kruria, is the only two corps in the entire kingdom that are directly under the command of the king. And the commander of these two corps, Knight Rennes, grew up with the king and belonged to the leader of the knight class of the kingdom.
With the hoplite cavalry corps under the command of such a man defending the 'Adiri Line', and the steady stream of reinforcements coming from the rear, it is enough to convince anyone that Bowenwright is planning to fight a defensive counterattack on the 'Adiri Line'.
"What do you think... If we put the battlefield on the plains south of the city, what is our chance of winning?" Bowenwright ignored Tra Rensko's questioning.
"If you want the undead to penetrate deep into the plains south of the city, you must first make Muvet-Phil feel that he can break through our wall defenses in a short time. Hades pointed to the city garrison on the map, "We have more than 100,000 troops around the city of Iruk, and Muvet-Phil will not take such a risk of abandoning the stronghold in the west and fighting us in the plains south of the city. β
Hades pointed to the western part of Iruk, "I think Muvet-Phil may just not want to waste anything with us in the west of the city, and intends to withdraw his 'Death Fortress' to drain our living forces. β
Botlem raised an eyebrow when he heard Hades's words, as if he agreed with this calculation, but then said with a puzzled face: "But Muvet-Fil's army is storming our 'Adiri Line'. β
Hades immediately explained: "That's just strengthening the depth of their defenses around Broken Bones Town in the south. β
Bowenright did not deny Hades's inference, he took advantage of the situation to follow Hades's speculation on the map, "The main force of the undead army retreats to the 'Death Fortress', and our main force should do?" He quickly sketched on the map with both hands, "Should our main force also advance immediately and besiege this 'Death Fortress'?"
The old knight deduced that he put down the charcoal in his hand, took two steps back in a row, and said, "Look, what has changed in the battle situation of the Eluk Territory now?"
Bowenwright's words caused the other three to take two steps back, and Hades exclaimed as the other two were still carefully looking at the map: "The city of Elok is an empty city at this moment!"
Bowenwright chuckled, "Yes, the city of Elok is an empty city now. β
"It's an extraordinary plan. Tra Rensco whispered, "If you want to fool Muvet Feller, you have to really take out an empty city, but the question is how do you defend this empty city?"
"There are city garrison regiments and militia guards, as well as escort brigades of two thousand people from the Governing House and the Capitol building. Bowenwright held out his finger and calculated, "And the sturdy city defense system you mentioned... Didn't you use Iruk City's city defense system to resist the undead army's crazy attack for half a month before, but this time, it only takes two days!"
"Butβ" Tra-Rensco wanted to say something, but as soon as he said it, it seemed as if something was stuck in his throat, making him unable to say anything.
"What else do you have planned?" asked Botelem softly.
"Sort of, but it's the Consulate House's plan. β
"Is it like the 'story' that happened in Suker City some time ago?" said Botlem's wrinkles piled together in a playful smile.
The old mage's words made Tra Rensko look sideways, and his face suddenly became not very good-looking.
"General, now tell me about your plan. Hades asked in a low voice, and his inquiry caused the other two to subconsciously throw other thoughts from their minds, and then their eyes fell on the old knight.
Bowenwright felt the gaze of the three of them, pointing to the station of the undead legion in the west of the city on the map, "The battle of the 'Adiri Line' has officially begun, so first of all, our main force should also do some things that need to be done, such as... Pin down the main force of the undead legion from the front. β
"Assault?" Tra-Rensco asked, with a winkle in his eyes.
"Assault!"
"Maybe we should wait, as Deputy Hades said, maybe the undead army will take the initiative to withdraw. "Botlem clearly didn't want to attack.
"No! you have to go on the attack, you have to do the whole thing. β
"But it's possible that Muvet Feller is also making a show!" Botlem couldn't help but say, "They probably don't have it at all..."
"Everything on the battlefield is gambling!" Bowenwright didn't give the old mage a chance to speak, he stared at the other three very seriously, "So, everyone... Are you going to go on a gambling spree?"
"Why take the risk, I think you should ask for more power!" Tra Rensko's newly made up his mind wavered because of his cautious disposition, he looked at Bowenlite and then at Botlem, "The Kingdom of Kruria and the Mage Tower can obviously gather more powerful forces to destroy Muvet-Phil and his undead legions with absolute power. β
"If only it were that simple!" Botlem sighed at Tra Rensco's words, and after making up his mind, he looked at the old sir and said, "Then give it a try, and I personally think it's a good plan." β
"I have no opinion. "Hades couldn't possibly object.
Tra Rensco could only remain silent at the moment.
"So, first," said Botlem, pointing to the city of Elok on the map, "we need to make it look like we are going to strengthen our attack on the undead legion garrison west of the city, so that everyone can believe that we are doing our best to contain the main force of the undead legion." β
"Leave it to me!" Tra-Leinster gritted her teeth at the mechanical task, seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion.
Bowenwright nodded in satisfaction, and gently patted Terra's shoulder, and then said: "Besides, I can't let the reinforcements of the Mage Tower and the Werewolf Legion reach the 'Adiri Line', I need this defense line to collapse within three days, too long is easy for Muvet Phil to change his mind." β
"On the Mage Tower's side, I can coordinate and make sure to keep it secret, but on the werewolf side... We lack a reason to stop them. Botlem immediately took a stand.
"We can start with logistics. Hades stared at the map and said, "The logistics of the 'Adiri Line' now rely on the port cities and mage towers, as long as we cut off their supplies, Major General Buck will not be able to hold out for even three days." β
Botlem immediately said, "I'll contact the council immediately!"
"Good. Bowen nodded and said, "I'm sure you've already guessed my plan... It's actually very simple, use the southern plains of the city and the entire city as bait to let the undead legions go deeper... But in order to achieve this, we have to pay some sacrifices first, whether it is the frontal battlefield in the west of the city or the 'Adiri Line', we need to sacrifice some people, but I believe... It's all worth it!"
"My lord, Muvet-Feller is very cautious. Hades stared at Bowen Wright, "As the Coalition's under-chief of staff, I'm sure I'm qualified to know some of your plans next, right?"
"What's next... I have to let Muvet-Feller choose, I can do what I can do, as for how Muche-Feller chooses, it is no longer within my control. Bowenwright shrugged, "Maybe in the end we'll only have to fight the most conventional war." β
With that, the old knight took out his pipe...
