Chapter 827: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
"It's not simple, of course I'm afraid, except for the bloody cavalry that Pedro originally led, the others are a group of rabble that have been put together from all sides, and they can't withstand the impact of our army at all, so why don't you retreat now?"
Greg, the number one fierce general under the Hairi Winter Tent, said with a big grin, "Old chief, your decision-making has been too indecisive recently, if you want me to say, there is no need to be so verbose at all, take out all the war horses that can run, and all the warriors who can open the bow pull out, and rush down, they will already be trampled to pieces, and only with Pedro's eight thousand blood horses, it can't change the whole situation at all." ”
"Brainless guy. A young Odin orc beside Chief Hai Ridong pursed his lips in disdain, expressing his disdain for Greg's remarks just now.
This disdain immediately aroused the displeasure of Chief Greg, who glared angrily, "Terrence, what are you talking about?
"Brains are a good thing, but it's a pity you don't. The young man named Terrence was not afraid, "The Byron Alliance is not the Odin savannah, and the Byronic people are not Odin orcs, they are just a group of moles, and their favorite thing is to make holes and build stone fortresses everywhere, and the more people there are, the bigger and denser the fortresses are built.
Even if you get past them, what's the use? After you touch those fortresses, can you still deal with the Broken Pulse Line? Let our warriors dismount and bite them regardless of life and death?
What if we get to the critical moment when we cross over the Byronic army and attack us from behind?
The easiest way to deal with them is to wipe out their largest rebel army cleanly, so that they will not see any hope of resistance, and when our army is under their city, those desperate and frightened Byronians may be able to take advantage of our strong force and obediently open the city gates and let us in. ”
"Don't sell the set of theoretical things you learned from books in front of me, it's all a bunch of until I see it with my own eyes. Chief Greg pouted in disdain, "Tell me why they're retreating?"
"They did this more to show their attitude, to get out of the way, so that we would abandon them and unite the main army of His Majesty Ulaanbari to attack the Lancelot royal family's defense line in the west. Terrence had a look of wisdom in his hands.
"You're not saying they're timid. Greg looked disdainful, as if to say, what is the difference between what you are saying now and what I just said, "We should now go south in a big way, and completely defeat them while they are not firmly established." ”
"Cowardice has always been what you say, not me, maybe the other party did it just to make us have such a misunderstanding, and attack them desperately. Terrence took another turn.
"Lure us into taking the initiative to fight?" Greg frowned into a pimple, "Your own statement is a contradiction, the other party is obviously a cowardly move, how did it become a lure us to take the initiative to attack them?"
"There is a tactic called showing weakness to the enemy, I don't think you have heard of this word, it means to make the enemy mistakenly think that he is weak, to confuse and disrupt the enemy, so that the enemy can make wrong judgments, so as to make wrong decisions, and now the princess of the Byron Alliance, it is very likely that this tactic is used, it seems that we want to make a judgment to support His Majesty Ulaanbari, and the actual purpose is to lure us to take the initiative to attack their camp. Terrence patiently explained.
"What kind of nonsense? What is the basis for your judgment? Why do they do this? And some people are so stupid that they can't take the initiative to cause trouble on themselves?" Chief Greg was full of impatience, he was known for his bravery, he was not a smart man, and he was obviously a little weak in his calculations of this kind of curved road, and the other party's explanation not only did not make him understand better, but became more confused.
"There are many bases for judgment, if you carefully study the history of the Byron Alliance in the last twenty years, you will know that the enemy we are facing now, Princess Sophilia is not such a weak person, at least she will not retreat without a fight, especially since she has been the regent for so many years and has a deep affection for the Lancelot royal family, how can she make such a move to trap her relatives, once she does this, there must be a reason. Terrence explained it not so much to Greg as to Chief Hairidon, who looked like he was listening.
Terrence paused slightly, and after satisfying his appetite, he continued: "As for the reason for taking the initiative to lure us to attack them, the Byronic people are good at defending but not good at attacking, compared to fighting in the wilderness and luring us to attack their camp, they have more advantages, don't forget, they also have a lethal weapon like black powder in their hands, which can play a more lethal role in defense." ”
"If we do, I bet that bastard will use us as cannon fodder to carry out the task with the highest fatality and the least amount of oil and water, and all the results we have achieved will only be fulfilled by him. When Greg talks about Ulaanbari, his heart is full of resentment.
It is not that he has a grudge against the Japanese in Ulaanba, but that he has a long-standing personal grudge with the Russians and the Croatians under his account.
Not only did the two tribes have a lot of overlap and disputes over the pastoral area, but they also competed for an unknown number of years over the title of the first warrior of the Theodin Empire.
Greg has always been subordinate to Ozhlek, and has been the second in ten thousand years for many years.
As the saying goes, the world's first peak is well known, and the second highest peak is little known.
Ozhlehok is well-known in the Western Odin Empire, but few know him Greg.
When there was a dispute between the two and the tribe to which they belonged, Ulan Bari would naturally stand on the side of the Russians who had followed him for many years, and over time, it naturally caused serious dissatisfaction with Chief Greg, and then questioned his rule.
Terrence did not answer Greg's question directly, but cautiously glanced at Chief Hai Ridong, and found that the object of his allegiance was gloomy as water, but a trace of clear dislike flashed in the depths of his eyes, and when it came to his mouth, there was a little change and tilt immediately, "I can't say that, there are no absolutes in everything, especially when we have already detected the other party's plan."
After all, the initiative of the offensive is in our hands, and we still have the final say on how to fight, and the only thing that is relatively passive is that we have limited food in stock, and no matter what kind of decision we make, we must do it as soon as possible and not delay it for too long. ”
"Good words, bad words, all let you say it all alone, for a long time, and no substantive opinions, should we go south, or west, or fight, or shake hands and make peace?" Chief Greg was full of impatience, even after so much, he no longer liked the other party's way of talking in twists and turns.
"I don't want these empty analyses, I want a practical plan, Terrence, how do you think we should fight this battle next?" Chief Hai Ridong asked, his voice slow and low, and there was a hint of impatience in it.
"Since the other side shows weakness to the enemy, then let's make a move to lure the snake out of the hole, make a gesture of preparing for a large-scale westward advance, see how the other side reacts, see if my judgment is correct, if my judgment is correct, it will not hurt for us to take the opportunity to attack the western defense line of the Byronians from the flank, if His Majesty Ulaanbazhi can break the hole, it will also be harmful to us.
If my judgment is wrong, and the other party is really weak, we will kill one more horse pistol and uproot them, and the whole east of Byron will be at our disposal.
In a word, we should not let the other side get what they wanted, we should try our best to avoid attacking the other side's prepared camp, and try our best to lure and force the other side to fight a field war with us, and eat away their new forces little by little, and when they have no troops to deploy, it will also be the time of our victory. Terrence threw his thoughts out completely.
Chief Hai Ridong showed a satisfied smile and said: "It seems that your books for so many years have indeed not been read in vain, and the things you have thought of are indeed more comprehensive than we thought, so I will test them according to the method you said." ”
Sophia showed weakness on the side of the enemy, and the chief of Hai Ridong led the snake out of the hole.
Sophia responded with a plan, while Chief Hairidong avoided the real and fought the false.
In the camps of both sides, there are smart people who are proficient in strategy and tactics, and before the army moves, they have already analyzed the character of the opposing commander's coach very thoroughly.
Once the other party takes an action that is contrary to his own character and the interests of the subject, he will be careful and cautious, and he will be tempted and tempted.
After two rounds of fighting, both sides realized this, and when they acted, they were naturally more cautious and careful, and easily did not let their army pour out.
It turned out to be a very strange situation.
The main forces of both sides are standing still.
One is under the broken vein defense line, encamped.
One is sixty kilometers away, setting up a large camp.
However, the cavalry on both sides fought in full swing on the middle 60 kilometers of land, constantly interspersing, probing, and intercepting.
The scene where you chase me is too commonplace.
Not to mention that it is in the same strength, even if it is doubled or even triple its own strength, it is still possessed by the Broken Pulse Blood Horse.
They already possess the best collective force in the world, and now with the constant flow of new weapons from the Eternal Night Commanders, such as the more portable Black Powder Grenades, they are able to easily disperse the Orc cavalry of Odin.
But they have a huge flaw that cannot be concealed, and that is the scarcity of numbers.
There are more than 200,000 of the right army under the command of Chief Hai Ridong, and most of them can fight on horseback, even if they take out a quarter, it is four or five times that of the right army of the broken blood cavalry.
Therefore, most of the time, it is still the right army that is at a disadvantage.
Under the condition that the main forces of both sides have not moved, it is very difficult to rely on cavalry alone in the field to fight a total annihilation battle, especially when the generals on both sides are veterans with rich combat experience, it is even more difficult.
In the process of long-term entanglement between the two sides, although there were mutual damage, the impact on the main force was not too great.
If the two sides have enough food and grass, this battle will still be fought, and it will be normal for a stalemate for a year and a half.
Unfortunately, at this point, the two sides are not equal.
On Sophia's side, there is a community of interests such as the Eternal Night Commander, the Princess's Fiefdom, and the Countess of Angie Bena, and as a basis, there is a steady stream of troops flowing in every day, and a large number of military and civilian materials are being delivered.
Even their camp is the same every day.
Today there is one more wooden wall, tomorrow there is one more trench, the day after tomorrow there is one more horse pit, and the day after tomorrow there are a few more vehicles to defend the city.
The speed of construction is staggering.
There is no doubt that this is the handiwork of the Eternal Night Commander.
When it comes to infrastructure construction, their military leaders are called second, and there is no one on the continent of Ascharn who dares to call them first.
This is still the normal speed at which they did not transfer the infrastructure artifact in the territory, the Digging Purple Worm, if they catch it and delay it for a month or two, the Sea Ridong Chief and they will face a strong city.
It can be seen that the pressure on the Eternal Night Army leader caused by the Western Odin Empire's southern invasion is not so great, at least not to the extent that they have all their means.
On the side of the Theodin Empire, it is a standard sitting and eating nothing.
It was because of the food shortage that they launched this southern invasion.
Although there are a large number of soldiers in the rear, they are running around, looting the grain, grass, cattle and sheep of the orcs who did not participate in the battle, and supporting the front line.
But as time went by, less and less grain, grass, cattle and sheep were delivered, and more and more Odin orcs were driven in.
There is no way, the drought for many years has caused all the Odin orcs to fall into the trough.
Winter is about to begin, and with the little supplies at hand, whether it can survive this winter is unknown.
Now they have been forcibly requisitioned clean of the food in their hands by the vicious Orc soldiers, and if they stay where they are, there is only one way to die.
In order to survive.
Following these Odin orc soldiers who requisitioned food, they went south together, and they might be able to find a way to survive the Byron Alliance and survive the most difficult moments.
This situation, at first glance, sounds like a good thing, making the forces of the Odin orcs stronger.
That's not the case at all.
The strength of the Odin orcs had already responded to their call to join them when they were raising troops in Ulaanbari and marching south on a large scale.
The Odin orcs who were driven after this were only a small part of them strong, mainly women and children, the old and weak, the sick and the disabled, not to mention the strong bows and horses, and many people had nothing but a mouth.
