Chapter 81: The Result of the Battle
|||->-> Shen Mengting's words caused everyone in the council hall to fall into silence, and they all seemed to be staring at each other a little.
Zhao Yu didn't fully understand what Shen Mengting meant, but he could still understand some of them.
What Shen Mengting wanted to express was that with her understanding of the enemy's commander, she felt that the other party would not use very risky tactics. Even if you do sneak attack from the rear, you will definitely target the Yokoga military camp instead of the distant Kiyose Castle.
'Well, that's what it means!' Zhao Yu nodded slightly. He was glad that he was finally able to keep up with the thoughts of some of the generals. However, he still couldn't express his opinions, so he still didn't dare to interject to express his opinions.
"Ah! I also understand what Marshal Shen means, and I also think it is very strange. It stands to reason that the strategic position of the Yokoga military camp here is even higher than that of Kiyose Castle! If the military force on our side is defeated, the Kiyose Castle side will naturally be breached. Therefore, why does Lian Yunpo need to take the risk of attacking Qingse Castle in one more move?" Deputy Marshal Ma Liming also put forward his own ideas.
Then, there was another wave of silence, and most people were still unable to answer the question.
"Why, why?" Shen Mengting's mouth was moving, although she didn't make the slightest sound, everyone in the room knew what she was trying to express.
Almost everyone had been looked at from afar, but she didn't get the answer she deserved, so Shen Mengting could only sigh helplessly.
After a long time, Qian Hao finally stood up with a pout, "Hmm...... Maybe that old guy had the wrong brain! He just wanted to use risky tactics to highlight his strength. ”
Qian Hao's assumptions seem nonsense at first glance, but when you dig deeper, it seems to be the case. So, most of them nodded at him.
"Oh, is that so?" Shen Mengting was still skeptical.
"I really can't think of anything else. Qian Hao reluctantly shook his shoulders again.
Shen Mengting pursed her lips and took a deep breath, but after the qi entered her chest, she didn't follow and quickly confide. She continued to purse her lips closely, both of which were about to turn into folded earthworms.
"Generalissimo! You don't need to delve into this question! Lian Yun is quite an old fritter on the battlefield, and his tactics must be ever-changing, and it may not make any sense to care too much about his thoughts. ”
"Oh?" Shen Mengting glanced at Ma Liming, who she thought was reasonable. Eventually, the breath that had entered her nose was also exhaled deeply, and she nodded her head as if she had just woken up from a dream, "Oh! So that's the end of the topic, and I won't delve into it anymore. ”
Shen Mengting immediately hugged her arms, and from this action, it could be seen that she still had a lot to say and many questions to think about.
"Generalissimo ......"
Hurriedly stretched out a hand to stop the subordinate who was calling her name, Shen Mengting changed her more relaxed expression, "Okay! It seems that my suspicion has caused you all to be in a bad mood!"
"Marshal Shen, don't talk about it, it's good that you can think more, after all, the Saurons are too cunning and insidious. Ma Liming hurriedly explained.
"Anyway, let's stop thinking about unhappy things, we've fought a big victory! and eliminated the most Sauron soldiers so far," Shen Mengting let out a pursed smile.
Ma Liming also seemed to be awakened, and he hurriedly followed up with some words, "Ah! Yes! Marshal Shen, you are really amazing. This great victory will definitely affect all future wars. ”
"Yes! After that, we could never have imagined that we could have achieved such a result. General Wang Bin smiled and turned his arm forward, swinging quickly in a fan-shaped arc, "In the past, the Sauron soldiers were all invincible in our hearts. But Marshal Shen made this invincibility a complete joke. ”
"Yes, yes! Marshal Shen Mengting is really amazing, leading us to defeat the Saurons one after another. Jiang Jingwen also stood up, he also let out flattering words, and his single arm was still moving from time to time.
From the moment Ma Liming released the words of commendation, the others were like water that couldn't close the halter, and the words of praise continued to flow down.
Jiang Jingwen continued to praise, as if the words in the whole world were used by her. And such as 'the world's number one leader' and 'the most warlike general', she gave them without hesitation.
Regarding Jiang Jingwen's compliment, Ma Liming and Wang Bin also nodded.
Especially Ma Liming, he even followed behind, as if he was patting a sycophant. Maybe others would never have imagined that he had been so resistant to Shen Mengting.
As for Qian Hao and Shen Jun, not to mention the two of them. They cheered with the same excitement, as if Saran had defeated Sauron.
In everyone's trance, only one young man remained silent, and he was Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu never made a sound, he just held the staff tightly and hid at the edge of the crowd as if he was shrinking his neck.
All along, he didn't know how to join the conversation. But because the current atmosphere is still developing in the direction of happiness in general, he doesn't feel much discomfort.
For a while, the house was about to turn into a commendation meeting for Shen Mengting, and everyone was still praising her.
However, although she was wrapped in a sea of praise, Shen Mengting looked around very seriously. She didn't seem to show the slightest excitement, but she still looked extremely reserved.
Gradually, after seeing their generalissimo without a smile on his face, most of them slowly closed their mouths.
When the room returned to a colder and quieter atmosphere, Shen Mengting added by clearing her throat, "Ahem...... Cough...... I know that everyone is very excited now, after all, we have won a battle!To say, I am very happy at the moment, but no matter how happy I am, I can't forget a little ......" She seemed to pause deliberately, and then looked around at the crowd, "The situation we are facing now is still relatively challenging, and the enemy still has outstanding strength. ”
Shen Mengting's words suppressed the boiling atmosphere, and most people began to imagine heavily.
"Ah! Marshal Shen is right, at least for now, the war is far from over!" Ma Liming frowned sadly, which made his already slender eyes even more narrow.
"I mean this, a local war doesn't mean we've won. So, even if we want to celebrate the victory of the war, it shouldn't be now!" Shen Mengting's eyelids had completely sunk, which indicated that she had completely entered serious mode.
"However, I also want to emphasize one point! No matter what the state of the war has been so far? But it is an indisputable fact that we have won a great victory! We have annihilated the enemy's army of 20,000! 20,000!" Shen Jun kept emphasizing the number '20,000', and at the same time, he also made a gesture of his raised hand.
However, what was unexpected was that Shen Mengting shook her shoulders extremely disapprenanently, "Well, twenty thousand! At first glance, it seems to be a very large number, but for the Sauron Empire...... Huh, hehe......" she began to shake her head and chuckle, and the overall style was very helpless.
"Huh, Generalissimo......"
"Twenty thousand troops is already a lot for us in Saran. But for Sauron...... "Ma Liming's eyes instantly turned confused and godless," but it was like a drop in the bucket!"
Shen Jun was a little surprised when he heard this, "Ah......?
He was right. The Sauron Empire has the largest army in Cellos, haven't I emphasized this before?" Shen Mengting took over the words.
Shen Jun began to blink his eyes a few times again: "Ahhh
"Shen Jun! You use this word well, that is, you are reckless! Isn't Sauron such a country? Otherwise, how could he have a bad reputation like this. Shen Mengting spread her hands disdainfully, and after she tilted her head and pouted her mouth, the next words were continued, "Besides, the Sauron Empire is not as simple as only a million troops. If they want, they can even go all. ”
"Wow! The corners of Shen Jun's mouth had already begun to twitch, and he twitched his entire body at will, "Your description is too exaggerated, isn't it?
"It's not an exaggeration at all. Shen Mengting put on an extremely gloomy and bloodless expression, "Don't say that their country has a population of more than 70 million, it is still possible to make a million troops." Just talking about their people's utilization rate, it is second to none in the world. As long as their king of the Win clan and the important ministers around him give an order, the people of their country must all go to war. is clearly called 'defending the family and defending the country', but in fact, it is just cannon fodder to defend their rights [river crabs]. ”
"Ahh......h
"In fact, the Sauron Empire is capable of training an army of a million, provided that they are willing. That's why I said before that 20,000 troops are actually just a drop in the bucket for them. Shen Mengting turned her body as she spoke, and she walked towards the depths of the room, her back was a little unapproachable, "Don't blame me for being incomprehensible! But as far as the current situation is concerned, it is far from the point of relief." The enemy is so strong that as long as a tendon is loosened, it will be difficult to tighten it again. ”
"Ah, Marshal Shen Mengting, but in the current military camp on the enemy's border, isn't it still far from the number of millions?"
"That's because they're not ready for war at all, and they don't have to do that at all. Shen Mengting suddenly turned around, "Maybe they feel that to deal with Saran, they don't need to use so many million troops." But do you remember that document? It was the black-covered document that contained so much information about the Sauron's invasion of us. It is clearly recorded above, and the whole army of 300,000 is mobilized. Do you know what 300,000 is?"
His eyes touched almost everyone in the room, and in the end, Shen Mengting still picked up the words he had dug up, "We have never recruited an army of this size, and it is difficult to even one-third. In other words, if the enemy is well prepared, the war between the two sides will be completely unequal. ”
Shen Mengting's words cooled down the atmosphere in the meeting hall again, and there was really a cold sense of suffocation in the terrible silence.
Zhao Yu slowly lowered his head, and he imagined to himself what the specific concept of '300,000' was. However, no suitable reference could be found. In a flash of inspiration, he used Vortex Town as a template, but he still couldn't figure out how huge the 300,000 was.
Helpless, he had to give up and sigh, no longer thinking nonsense.
"Ah, Generalissimo, you are ...... It's really ......" Shen Jun scratched his head, judging from his somewhat sluggish movements, he really felt shocked, "It's really ......"
"It's so alarmist!" The next words were made up by Qian Hao.
If it were in the past, Shen Jun would definitely have a few fights with Qian Hao, but because he was too shocked, the current appearance of Shen Jun is still relatively silent on the whole.
"This is not alarmist, since what is recorded in the documents of the Sauron Empire will definitely become a reality in the future. Moreover, every time they start a war, they are accompanied by the use of a large number of troops, even if the number is not 300,000, but it will definitely not be the tens of thousands today. Shen Mengting raised her head slightly, and the fact that she stepped on the steps deep in the house not long ago made her feel like she was looking down on everyone.
"But Marshal, at least so far, they have only used less than 50,000 soldiers and horses, right?" General Wang Bin kept nodding slightly, hoping that a slight movement would ease the fear and struggle in his heart.
"That's the case at the moment, but the reinforcements in the future will come back sooner or later, and you all have to be ready. ”
"Well, there will indeed be reinforcements in the future. Chen Tianhao, who had been silent for a long time, also joined the conversation, and he also kept his eyes firmly on Shen Mengting, "As far as my attention to the enemy's military camp, the size and scale of it are definitely not just the size of tens of thousands of troops. The barracks over there can accommodate 200,000 troops for food and shelter, and there is no feeling of crowding. ”
It wasn't until Chen Tianhao finished speaking that he realized that everyone's eyes were on him. He quickly explained, "Assassin insight, ah...... You get the idea!"
"I believe in Chen Tianhao's judgment, in fact, I will observe their military camp earlier, and the conclusion is the same. Their reinforcements will surely arrive soon, and the numbers may be unimaginable. Shen Mengting licked her lips, because the position between the lips had been frozen a little chapped.
"Ah...... That's really terrifying!" Qian Hao made another sentence. But soon afterward, he made some more casual movements, such as scratching the tip of his nose and grinding his pursed lips, "Well, I can understand what the marshal meant, the situation is not very good now, but it is ...... It is also true that we have thwarted the enemy's first attack! Therefore, it is quite normal for us to be a little happy. ”
The moment Qian Hao's words were released, Shen Mengting took it directly, as if she hadn't imagined it for some time, "I know this, I'm not pouring cold water on your heads! As long as the war is not over, our tense nerves will never be loosened. ”
