Chapter 826: Showing Weakness to the Enemy

The princess is still the same princess, with sophisticated political skills, whether it is facing the old nobles, new officials, village farmers, and professional soldiers of the Eternal Night Army, she can talk and laugh freely, and easily make the other party smile satisfied.

The more sincere temperament and strong sense of responsibility have not disappeared in the slightest, but have become more intense.

The princess is no longer the princess, she has become a mother, the former iron princess, has become the iron lady, but she has let her bloom with the love and brilliance that she lacked before, which may make her iron fist name a little unworthy of the name, but it can be exchanged for more support.

Amelia loved the change in her.

Another big change is that Sophia no longer sees things in one place, sometimes giving people a sense of stepping out of the situation, and always making some unexpected judgments and decisions.

Amelia felt that many times, she couldn't keep up with Princess Sophia's pace and thinking.

Just like Sophia's decision to abandon the decision to fight for the eastern front of the Broken Pulse Line.

Amelia clearly belongs to the old school, one of those who are resolutely resisting.

It is very unwise to think that it is very unwise to let the Orcs of Odin enter the customs and fight them in the field.

It is a well-established fact that the Orcs possessed a stronger physique and fighting qualities than the Byronic people.

Even an Odin orc with no military training can easily let go of a recruit who has been trained for half a year, let alone a farmer with a pitchfork.

Sophia's command, although there is an elite who can fight with the Orcs of Odin head-on, such as the Broken Blood Cavalry Right Army.

But in the end, there are a few, and most of them are farmers who have a lot of blood.

If they rely on the city walls, they can still show their strength in a battle.

If they are placed in the wild, once the formation is dispersed, they will only be slaughtered.

You can't even run, after all, where can two legs run more than four legs?

This suspicion was dispelled by the new weapon, the artillery, that came with the Lords of the Eternal Night.

This kind of weapon, which throws the black powder keg at a distance of thousands of meters, once assembled into a position.

The difficulty of trying to defeat it will increase exponentially.

Amelia discovered that Sophia's decision to give up the broken line of defense and reorganize the army was not a hot decision with a slap on the head, but with enough confidence and background.

Amelia had felt this in a person, and this person was none other than Lord Sean, the husband of Princess Sophia.

is not a long married life, so that the two of them show signs of assimilation.

Another change that made Amelia feel uncomfortable was that when Princess Sophia was regent, she was resisted by the old-school aristocracy, and there were not many available talents in her hands, so she had to play the role of a generalist, Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, Minister of Intelligence and many other roles in one.

Now Sophia is surrounded by a lot of talents, and in terms of force, there are many fierce generals such as Vincent, Rachel, and Boris who are on the right side of the army.

They can only be counted as second-tier generals in the Broken Pulse Blood Cavalry, and their reputation is obviously not very prominent compared to General Arnold, General Pedro, etc.

But compared to the generals in other territories, they are definitely the best tiger generals, whether it is merit or the number of enemies killed, they can scare a group of people.

Although the generals of the two legions sent by the Eternal Night Army Leader to Sophia's side are inconspicuous, their troops themselves are definitely enough to bluff people.

One is made up entirely of Kentana barbarians, that is, a tower-like existence, a three-meter Kentana barbarian, which doesn't sound scary.

When they really met, they knew how terrifying they were, many people in front of them, directly turned into halflings, the other party just stood there, taller than many people sitting on horseback, many people came to them, their legs couldn't help but tremble, and they couldn't even raise the courage to resist.

The Kentana barbarians were taken in by the Eternal Night and became part of them.

This news is not news to the Byronic people.

But the rumors turned out to be true, neither the sheer size of the Kentana barbarians nor the fact that the Kentana barbarians had merged into the Eternal Night.

What's even more perverted is that these Kentana barbarians not only have better equipment than the Broken Pulse Blood Horse, but also have the same level of training, and between sitting and lying down, they all look like well-trained soldiers.

This shattered the legend that the Kentana barbarians were a savage, rude, impolite, cannibalistic race.

Even more terrifying than a large group of Kentana barbarians is, of course, a group of well-trained, armed to the teeth.

If they are enemies, it will naturally be a very demoralizing thing.

If you become an ally, it will be very morale-boosting.

Fighting with such a legion is absolutely safe.

Compared with this ancestral spirit army composed of Kentana barbarians, the other tiger army is also full of characteristics, their war beasts armed to the teeth, not only have a huge size beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but also have a spirit beyond the scope of their cognition, and the expression in their eyes for the Byron people is the same as those soldiers of the eternal night, there is a taste of superiority.

It's uncomfortable to hold the fire, but in view of the huge size of the other party, this evil fire can only be stuffed in the heart.

In terms of military strategy, the military staff officers led by Kelman, whether it is the internal rectification of the army or the march to fight, have one, two, three main plans, four, five or six alternative plans, and the things that can be considered in advance are basically taken into account, and the people below only need to implement them according to the rules, and basically there will be no big mistakes.

Although Amelia's style of acting is at odds with the military staff represented by Kelman's main chief of staff, there are often great differences, but they are still extremely recognized for the ability they have shown most of the time.

Sophia was able to fuse so many mixed forces into one force, and they were extremely credited.

Regardless of whether Amelia admits it or not, Sophia re-emerged this time, and her reliance on her was far less heavy than before, which made her feel a little lost in her heart, which is an undeniable fact.

No matter how Amelia's mood fluctuated, the military discussion was still going on in an orderly manner.

"What I just analyzed is only the most likely choice for the Eastern Army of the Western Odin Empire led by Chief Hai Ridong. Kelman continued, "I will analyze our own advantages and disadvantages now, our biggest problem now is that the ingredients are too mixed, the good and the bad are uneven, the strong army can crush the opponent locally, and the weak part will be crushed by the opponent.

Especially in the field, this situation is especially obvious, in large-scale battles, the weak part will become our Achilles' heel, once caught by the other side.

When the time comes, it will not simply be a matter of the elimination of the weak part, but even the strong part of us.

So, we need to learn the tactics of the male lion against the hyena pack, protecting the weakest and most vulnerable part of the body, always leaving his sharpest claws outside.

This is also destined for us, if we want to win, we must play a defensive counterattack, and lure the Sea Ridong Chief to take the initiative to attack our temporary camp.

Just waiting for the other party to make a decision for internal reasons is a very passive thing to do, not the wisest choice, and we should take the initiative to facilitate them to make such a choice. ”

"What does the chief of staff have in his opinion, let's hear it. Sophia looked listening.

"Show the enemy weak. ”

"How do you show weakness?"

"Withdraw the right army of the Broken Pulse Blood Cavalry, retreat the main camp thirty kilometers, and let the sea Ridong chief lead the eastern army to the west. ”

"Let them go west?"

"It's not really that we let them go west, but that we want them to go west and unite with Ulaanba to attack the new army of the royal court, which will naturally achieve the goal of showing weakness to the enemy, making them mistakenly think that we are inferior to them and do not want them to attack us, thus increasing the possibility that they will come to attack us. ”

"If their eastern army has the strength to eat us, there is naturally no need to help Ulaanbari and increase his brilliant achievements, compared to playing assists, where is it more tempting to lead the way alone and achieve brilliant results? ”

"It is this reason, even if they don't have a plan, it doesn't matter, we still have the right army of the broken blood cavalry, when the time comes, bite them to death behind them, and then slowly push the main force up, blocking their road to the east, as long as we are still behind them, it is impossible for them to let go of their hands and feet, and attack the new army of the royal court with all their might, and the pressure on the royal court's side will not be as great as imagined. ”

Sophia and Kelman, the two of them asked and answered, and said quickly.

A complete military tactic was placed in front of everyone.

completely calculated the temperament of the Hai Ridong chieftain and the internal contradictions of the Theodin Empire, which can be called a calculation every step of the way.

Many generals involuntarily switch positions, if they substitute themselves into the role of the chief of Hai Ridong, what are the chances that they will fall into the calculation.

Sophia finally asked, "According to the internal assessment of your military staff, how high is the success rate of this plan?"

This question is obviously more expert, showing that she has a very good understanding of the inner workings of the Eternal Night Army's military staff, because although this kind of internal assessment has been around for a long time, it is only used as a reference for their internal data, and it is never released to the public.

"Seventy percent. Kelman's main chief of staff hesitated and gave a conservative figure.

"The success rate of 70% is enough for us to try. Sophia gave an order very decisively, "Give you a day, before sunrise tomorrow, I want to see a more detailed battle plan, and at the same time order all departments to make preparations for strategic retreat, today's military discussion is completely confidential, and it is not allowed to reveal half a word to the people below, if the news leaks and affects the overall plan, don't blame my sword for not being sharp." ”

"Yes. All the generals stood up at the same time to receive the order.

That night, rumors spread throughout Sophia's barracks, and news of their strategic retreat spread throughout the barracks.

Not to mention those farmers who don't have any military literacy, even many regular soldiers don't know that this is a strategy, and they really think that the Odin orcs are powerful, they can't resist it, and they have to retreat urgently.

Under the panic, it naturally caused a lot of commotion.

In order to make this scene more realistic, Sophia not only did not send someone to stop it, but instead added fuel to the fire from behind, leading the spread of some false remarks, I believe that it will not be long before this information will be transmitted to the eastern army of the Western Odin Empire, further misleading them.

The veterans of the broken veins mixed in the army are enough to control the entire army, so that this chaos will not be completely out of control, they are veterans of a hundred battles, even in the face of Odin orcs who are several times their own without changing their faces, and they have just retreated from the front line of fighting, how can they lose their sense of proportion because of a little rumor?

There is more confusion and fire in my heart.

Removing them from the Broken Pulse Defense Line, they could understand that after all, the castle fortress they were stationed in had become a lonely fortress and a dead place, and the supplies were exhausted, and there was no point in holding on.

Retreating, regrouping the team, and reorganizing the defense line are the top priorities at the moment.

But they haven't fought a battle now, and even the large army of Odin orcs didn't see it, so they hurriedly retreated thirty kilometers, what is this?

Many people inevitably murmur in their hearts, could it be that Princess Sophia is not worthy of her name, and her wrists are not as tough as the legend says?

Or is it that after marrying a mother, the edges and corners have been smoothed out?

It's just that as professional soldiers, the instinct to obey orders has penetrated deep into their bones.

Even if they have doubts in their hearts, once the order is given, they will carry it out truthfully.

Especially when the well-trained Broken Pulse Blood Cavalry Right Army, the Eternal Night Army and the Iron Rose Knights faithfully carried out Sophia's orders, they played a certain role model, and on the whole, when they really retreated, they could still be in order.

It's just that the retreat was too hasty, and some materials that were inconvenient to transport were still thrown in place, and those that were easy to form a capital enemy were directly burned.

Haste also has the advantage of haste, and by the time the supreme commander of the Eastern Army of the Western Odin Empire, Chief Hai Ridong, got the news, Sophia's army had already withdrawn to its destination and re-established its camp, like a long snake entrenched, there was no time to send an army to pursue, and there were orc rangers scattered outside, who spontaneously pursued, and the final result was just to deliver food to the right army of the Broken Blood Cavalry.

"Why did they do this?" the folds on the old face of the Hai Ridong chief were crumpled.

Now for him, the biggest enemy is no longer Ulaanbari, but age, after all, he is an old man who once fought with his grandfather in Ulaanbazhi.
