Chapter 44: Decline and Exhaustion

|||->-> Zhang Zhijie looked very excited, mainly because: everyone present still had a chance to lose, but he didn't!

And after Lian Yunpo listened to his words, his head lowered unconsciously. After a long time, he just let out a sentence, "Well! General Zhang Zhijie." What you said is still quite reasonable, and Saran's current strategy is also obvious, which is to defend desperately. Then, wait for assistance such as the country of Aria!"

The words of the Generalissimo were almost like an iron nail, digging deep into the heart of every Sauron.

"So...... Generalissimo ......"

"But my meaning is also very clear!" Lian Yunpo's tone suddenly became more and more aggressive, "It's like the soldier tension theory I just talked about. Now that Saran is in full swing, it's not a good time to fight!"

"But, the kingdom of Elia ......"

"I am very aware of the assistance of the Kingdom of Airia, but there is one thing that I hope you can understand. The intervention of that country did not come overnight. From Saran sending a letter of assistance, to being seen by the elves of the country of Aria, to the country's officials discussing whether to really intervene in a war in the subcontinent. Then......" Lian Yunpo's voice was a little slow, obviously a bit of a betrayal, "and finally it was decided to send troops, and send them here from the other side of the sea. Think about it, how much time does it take?"

Zhang Zhijie was stunned by this question, although he had been struggling with the reinforcements sent by the Eria Kingdom, but he didn't seem to have seriously thought about how much time it would take.

"Generalissimo, this ......"

"And there's a question ahead, do you all think that the Elia Congress must come to Saran's aid?"

Lian Yunpo's question caused all the Saurons to take a deep breath, especially Sun Junfeng, who kept tapping his chest [River Crab] breast, "That's right, who said that as long as Saran asked, the Aria Kingdom would come to intervene and help later? I don't think it is possible for the Aria Nation to send troops at all." ”

"Well! I think so too. The elves of Eliya have always been cunning, and I don't think they would risk war with us to aid a paltry Saran. So, I think it's still a good situation right now, and sooner or later Saran will be in our pocket. As if to cheer up his remarks, Guan Yunlong's voice fell, and he raised his arms and let out a 'cheer'.

It's just that this kind of 'cheer' is just a kind of weak power like a wolf howl.

Zhang Zhijie didn't think that what the two said was right, so he quickly retorted, "You can't say that! For the Elia Kingdom, the last thing they want to see is the unification of our human race, because then Sauron will have the strength to contend with them." Therefore, they will not watch us move, and Elia will definitely send troops to Saran's aid. ”

"General Zhang Zhijie, are you going to start walking around on this line again?" Sun Junfeng immediately sneered again.

"This is not unwarranted speculation, it is true. What is the policy of the Kingdom of Aria, I believe...... Generalissimo Lian must also be clear!" Zhang Zhijie turned his face to Lian Yunpo, and his waist was slowly bent down.

Lian Yunpo kept looking at the magician, and after a long time, he let out a burst of breath, "Okay! But as things stand, we still have to prepare for the worst. In other words, we just want to think: the country of Elia will intervene. ”

Zhang Zhijie's face suddenly relaxed, and a faint smile emerged. However, the generalissimo's words made him tighten his face again.

"But...... Whether or not the Kingdom of Elia actually intervenes, it will be a long time before they officially send troops. So, we're not at the point where we're going to be very worried. As far as we are concerned, we just need to concentrate on dealing with Saran. Lian Yun frowned, and the object he wanted to touch also included all the Sauronians present.

"But Generalissimo, if it's really as you said, then we also have to deal with Saran as soon as possible!" Zhang Zhijie started to 'attack' again, he wants to change the current negative strategy of the Sauron military camp no matter what, "Saran understands very well, that is, they want to delay as much time as possible, waiting for their new recruitment and foreign intervention!"

"Yes, I believe they mean that. Judging by their recent series of moves, it seems that none of them are ready to win the battle. Everything is based on the strategy of delaying time. ”

"Then why is the generalissimo wasting time here?" Zhang Zhijie cut his arm in an exaggerated manner, almost like two ropes swinging, "Why do you keep avoiding my question and quickly solve the living resistance on the other side of the Yokoga military camp?"

"Hey, Zhang Zhijie, you have to pay attention to your tone. Now in front of you, but the supreme commander of the Sauron Kingdom, Generalissimo Lian Yunpo!" Guan Yunlong glared and reminded. When he stopped stroking his white beard, his expression was really much more intense.

Zhang Zhijie hurriedly released an explanation, "Ah, I'm sorry! Generalissimo, I'...... I went overboard. But...... Every question I ask is for the good of our Sauron!"

Zhang Zhijie said it so sincerely, but Lian Yunpo was unmoved. On the contrary, he coughed lightly disapprehantly, "Well, General Zhang, I know your thoughts." But I'm also here to tell you, what the Saran gang are fighting at the moment, I know very well in my heart. You don't need to be reminded over and over again. By the way, as for your question, I haven't avoided it. I just don't think there's any need to answer it, because it's an obvious question and doesn't need to be explained in any language. ”

"Ahh......h

"We have a tendency to attack Saran as soon as possible, but the time is not yet now. It's really not the time to attack, Saran's side has just built a watchtower, and it is clear that they are fully prepared, we don't have to fight them, we need to wait for an opportunity, a reality that can best attack!"

"The best time to attack?" Guan Yunlong frowned and asked Lian Yunpo a question, "Marshal Lian, what is the best way to attack?"

Lian Yunpo didn't answer immediately, just smiled slightly, "Have you ever heard the allusion in morale that 'one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion'?"

What Lian Yunpo proposed seemed to stump many people, and Zhu Qi, who was still a little erudite, responded to the allusion thrown by the generalissimo.

"Generalissimo, are you referring to the war that took place between the kingdom of Sauron and the country of Changzhong [River Crab]?"

"Hmm, it seems that this blood shaman still knows more about history!" Lian Yun couldn't help but praise.

This made Sun Junfeng on the side a little jealous, and he began to twitch the corners of his mouth intermittently in concealment.

"Zhu Qi, what the hell is going on?" Zhang Zhijie lifted the staff slightly, and felt like she was feeling the irritability in her heart.

Zhu Qi looked around in a panic and blankly, "Ah! This is a war between our Sauron Kingdom and the former Changzhong [River Crab] Country. I remember that at that time, Sauron and the Changzhong army faced off on a plain. The army of the [River Crab] country in Changzhong is constantly beating drums to provoke us Sauron. However, the time is still ...... I remember that...... Marshal Lian ......"

"Yes, I had the privilege of participating in this battle at the time, but at the time, I was just a young soldier. I remember very clearly that the people of Changzhong [River Crab] constantly beat the drum to provoke us. However, the marshal of our country never responded to the battle. It was only after the Changzhong [River Crab] State struck the drum three times in a row that the marshal of our country gave the order to attack. Then, it was a hearty victory. This victory paved the way for the rise of our nation, transforming Sauron from a small country in a remote corner to the vast empire it is today. It can also be said that this war is a symbol that Sauron will not be afraid in the face of all strong enemies. ”

Now, the familiar situation is in front of us again. The Sarans are very, very good at what kind of guard tower to monitor if we have any signs of incursion into the border. But they have forgotten the most important point!" Lian Yun sighed, "The guards in the guard tower are always just people, and they will feel tired and unable to concentrate for the rest of their lives. Although in the beginning, they do take the corresponding seriousness to complete the surveillance mission. But what about a long time?" Lian Yun felt like he was asking himself, and he also walked down the gradually higher steps, "As long as it takes a long time, they will relax." ”

"This is the same principle as 'one drum, then three times and then exhausted'. When the first breath is made, they will stand guard in the watchtower with extreme nervousness, but when it comes to the second breath and the third breath, they will not be so nervous. They will slowly relax. When the time comes!" Lian Yunpo suddenly raised his tone, and his voice increased a lot, "It's our chance to attack!"

For a moment, almost all of the Saurons present showed an incomparable look of surprise. After a few more seconds, the look of astonishment gradually turned to admiration.

"I see! Ah, you are a man born for war! You can think of any scheme. Guan Yunlong was the first to send words of admiration.

But Lian Yunpo only waved his hand slightly, "Vice Marshal Guan, don't compliment me like this, I just said what I should say." ”

"No! What you should say is almost completely pinpointing the weakness of the Saran side! As long as they implement it next, their efforts these days will come to naught in an instant. While Guan Yunlong was speaking, he didn't forget to laugh a few times.

"We can't talk about that yet! The specific result will have to wait until we really attack one day before we can imagine it. Lian Yunpo's meaning is very cautious, and it is a bit unclear.

However, after that, he began to praise Zhu Qi again, thinking that this young blood shaman had a high degree of serious study of the history of our country.

As for Zhang Zhijie, it seemed that he had been completely abandoned, and he didn't even speak again in the crowd.

"Then Marshal Lian! Since now is not the time to attack, how much time will we have to pass?" Guan Yunlong began to calculate the calendar, intentionally or unintentionally.

The current month was January, and he did not know what month he would have to wait until he could send a large army to attack Saran. After all, he's been bored since the moment he came here. There was no place to fight, but it was not what he wanted to come to.

Lian Yun tilted his head and took a deep breath, "Specific days...... I believe it's not far off. ”

"Oh?" Guan Yunlong suddenly came to his senses, as if he was an old naughty boy who was full of interest.

The rest of the people also approached the generalissimo, including Zhang Zhijie.

"The Sarans are actually at the pinnacle of their efforts after resisting our sneak attack the other day. By the time they put their effort into building the watchtower, they had actually reached the point of decay. I don't expect it to be many days, and I'll be exhausted. Therefore, give me a command to go down in ten days...... That's right, in ten days, I will personally lead the army to break through the useless ornaments. I just want that Shen Mengting to see how useless her tricks are. ”

"Wait, Generalissimo Lian, I have a question for you. Sun Junfeng suddenly interjected, "You just said that you would lead the army to break through the enemy's guard tower defense. So...... Where the hell are you going to break through?" he blinked dryly, "After all, there are ...... borders It's hundreds of kilometers!"

"Our border with Saran is expected to be more than 150 kilometers long. Saran, on the other hand, probably built a guard tower every five kilometers, so that they could take care of each other without wasting supplies. As for where exactly you want to break through...... Lian Yunpo turned around and walked up the steps again, he looked at the map nailed to the wooden board somewhere at the end as if he were freezing frame.

"We need to choose a place...... Keep your distance from here, but it's not too far away!" Lian Yunpo then pointed somewhere on the map.

'Keep your distance' means keeping an eye on the Saran forces in Yokoga's barracks, as their raids are already aimed at the Saran's living resistance. But you can't choose a place that is too far away, because too far away may be discovered by the other party at the moment of the detour attack and then retreat.

Therefore, the place of the raid still needs to be carefully considered. Lian Yunpo thought about it and began to scratch the border line with his fingers. But not long after that, he suddenly stopped moving.

"I think...... It's a good place, isn't it?"

The place Lian Yunpo chose was a river 30 kilometers away from here, which was a relatively secluded place because of the proximity to a forest to the north. And thirty kilometers is not too difficult for Sauron's soldiers.

Since it was proposed by Generalissimo Lian, others naturally did not dare to question it. Besides, it's a good place to break through.

"Okay! Since everyone has no objection, let's choose this place!" When Lian Yunpo put his hand down, Nu's chin movement was released again. The direction he was pointing in was obvious, the place he had just chosen. Then, he turned around and turned towards the crowd again, "General Sun Junfeng, find a few smart and capable people to investigate the situation of the guard tower there." ”

Sun Junfeng immediately nodded, and without even thinking about it, he responded with the word 'yes'. However, after responding, his respectful salutation has not been put down, and his eyes are constantly moving at the same speed.

Lian Yunpo seemed to see something, so he said 'um' in a high tone, and asked the reason again, "Junfeng, what's wrong? Do you have anything to ask?"

When Sun Junfeng stopped rolling his eyes, he also let out a deep sigh, "Generalissimo! I have never felt the slightest fear of the Saran country, this kind of garbage human country should be annexed by us sooner or later." But...... The kingdom of Elia is ......"

"I know what you're worried about. If you really want to calculate from the time of time, I estimate that in this half year, the country of Elia will not be able to gather troops to support Saran, because of the political structure of Aria. Every time they issue a plan, it needs to be approved by many agencies, which greatly delays the efficiency of the work, but also gives us a lot of time to act. So you understand? The current situation is absolutely favorable to us, and Elia's assistance is far away, at least for now, and it is not a threat to us!"

Lian Yunpo used an extremely cold look to look at almost everyone present. Then, not only Sun Junfeng alone, but others also quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then Marshal Lian, I have another question to ask?" Guan Yunlong raised his lower arm.

"Brother Guan, if there is any problem, just leave me, do you still have to be polite to me?" Lian Yunpo put his hands behind his back, and his body rose back slightly.

"If we were to break through Saran's watchtower one day, what would you choose? Would you just rush over? Is it hard to guarantee that Saran will not react? I heard that they have set up haystacks on the top of the towers, and they will go around as soon as they notice any abnormal movement. Then they will find out where the enemy is. ”

Lian Yunpo had a smile on his face, "I understand this, and I have already thought of countermeasures." The reason why I have to wait is to wait for the moment when their nerves are no longer tense. When the time comes, we will start to move - first select the three adjacent watchtowers, and take advantage of the moment when the enemy is most relaxed, send a powerful squad to surprise the attack. After capturing the three towers, they continued to garrison them disguised as Saran soldiers. Then ......"

Even if Lian Yunpo hadn't finished his words, everyone already understood what he meant.

"Oh! I don't think I need to go on any further. You're all smart people, you should know what to do in the future, right?"

"Yes!" Sun Junfeng let out a sly smile, "disguise yourself as a Saran soldier, and then release our army." You can ...... later. The gods entered the land of Salan without knowing it. ”

"Ahh

"All right, I've told you everything. I believe ......" Lian Yunpo suddenly looked at Zhang Zhijie.

Zhang Zhijie instantly felt like he had been struck by lightning, whether it was his breath or the staff he was holding, he began to move irregularly.

"You shouldn't have any opinions, right?" Lian Yunpo finally finished slowly adding his words.
