Chapter 1459: Poor Command?
A little later.
Provisional General Staff Tent.
The god of war, Sauron, looked at the sand table, and several staff officers stood straight next to him.
After looking at it for a while, Sauron withdrew his gaze and looked at one of the staff officers and asked, "Left and right, how's it going?"
The staff officer responded quickly: "It's relatively smooth, the left side has reached the vicinity of the limestone territory Muluo City, and the right side has just crossed the Cold Bone River, they basically haven't encountered any major obstacles, and they can almost complete the goal as planned." ”
Sauron listened and nodded, "That's good." ”
"However, General, compared with the progress of the left and right lanes, our problems in the middle lane are more serious, and our progress has been seriously hindered. The staff officer continued.
"Huh? Sauron said.
"Yes. The staff officer said earnestly, "Almost from the moment we came into contact with the rout, Sarin blocked our middle lane. They did not carry out a large-scale attack, but mainly by small and frequent infiltration, which destroyed a large number of our camps and seriously delayed our march. ”
"Infiltration sabotage, can't be prevented?" Sauron asked, frowning.
The staff officer shook his head and said with a somewhat wry smile: "For now, we really can't prevent it." Because we had to replenish the troops on the left and right, the rear troops had not arrived, and our troops in the middle were currently only 60,000.
According to your instructions, in order to prevent the large-scale spell attack of the Sarin wizards, the distribution of our marching forces is relatively scattered. This obviously gave Salin a chance, and they were always able to find holes in the various teams' defenses and infiltrate our middle and even the back to wreak havoc.
The most important thing is that they are all black knights, that is, their magic knights, and there are dozens of people in one sortie. It's hard for us to resist with ordinary guard strength, and we can't guard against all of them with high-end elite forces such as magic knights—after all, many of our magic knights are assigned to the left and right lanes, and the same is true for wizards. ”
"So, Sarin is using the extremely precious Magic Knight, trying to slow down our march in the middle?" Sauron's eyebrows furrowed.
The staff officer spoke up: "This is exactly what our staff department does not understand. It stands to reason that the Sarin Black Rider is a very precious high-end elite force, and when such a force is concentrated, it will be very threatening to launch a large-scale offensive against us. But sarin did not do it, but dispersed them and carried out high-frequency small-scale infiltration operations.
We suffered a lot of losses, a lot of supplies were destroyed, and I heard that some of the team's grain depots were burned down, and they were all hungry. But sarin is no better, and it can even be said that the losses are even greater.
After all, they are infiltration operations, and once exposed, there is no possibility of escape at all. In fact, all the black horsemen, it seems, have no plan to retreat at all, they all fight until the last moment and are killed.
In this way, we are actually the dominant side. It won't take long for the lost supplies to be transported from the rear, and the hungry troops, let the friendly forces relieve them, and they can also get through. On the other hand, Shalin, a high-end elite power like the Black Rider, cannot be unlimited, and if it continues to be consumed like this, it will only become less and less. When we do attack Sharin, I am afraid that they will not be able to defend themselves against the charge of the demon-clad knights above our regiment.
This made our staff very confused, because Sharin's current performance was not at all like that person was leading. According to the performance of the opponent during the war, although he did not have much command talent, he was not so clumsy. Now Shalin's side is completely like a crappy general, commanding this war with childlike means. If we continue like this, we may be slower to advance in the middle, but Salin is killing himself the possibility of future victory. ”
After listening to the staff officer's words, Sauron showed a thoughtful expression and didn't say anything for a long time.
Obviously, he was also puzzled, wondering why Shalin would take such a low-level approach.
In fact, according to his conjecture, Sharin's most efficient means should be to directly attack his staff headquarters and dismantle his command center. Secondly, it is to concentrate elite forces and deliver a powerful blow to the marching ranks. Or, gather a group of wizards and use spells to kill and injure the soldiers who gather together to rest in the darkness of the night.
To this end, he asked the staff to make several sets of response plans.
But the problem now is that sarin didn't do that at all, and the plan naturally didn't work.
It's as if "your enemy is so stupid that all the care you have with your enemy is useless," which makes him very uncomfortable.
It's uncomfortable, not because the solution is wasteful, but because it's all too abnormal.
In his opinion, it is impossible for Shalin to be so imbecile, there must be some purpose and conspiracy.
But what is it exactly?
The staff couldn't figure it out, and neither could he.
So what to do?
Sauron took a deep breath, blinked his eyes, and turned to look at the sand table, where many staff officers had their eyes on him.
Sauron stared at the sand table with a deep gaze for a long time, picked up a small red flag and planted it in the current position of the Chinese army, and said in a deep voice: "Since we can't guess Shalin's intentions, then we won't guess - they do theirs, and we do ours."
Isn't the march in the middle stopped, okay, hold off the march, trim it, and accumulate strength. Wait for the rear 90,000 troops, high-end elite forces and materials to be in place, and run over in one go. I'd like to see how Shalin can still stop it, and I'll see how many black horsemen Shalin still has to infiltrate and die. ”
"Yes. The staff officers responded in unison.
......
Three days later.
Before the Confused Mountains.
Mario was on horseback, and the commander of the Red Maple Cavalry Regiment was not far from him, and at this time the entire Red Maple Cavalry Regiment was in full formation, ready to enter the battle at any time.
There was no other reason than that a few hundred meters away, a battle was going on.
About three hundred of Sharin's black knights were surrounded by more than a thousand blue-armored demonic knights of the alliance, and they fought extremely fiercely.
Speaking of which, Shalin's three hundred black horsemen are a rare large-scale attack, and if it were in the past, it would inevitably cause a lot of losses to the alliance army. Unfortunately, however, the 300 black horsemen happened to bump into the solid stone regiment that was coming from behind.
The Solid Stone Regiment is to strengthen the Demon Knights, surround the three hundred Black Knights, and try to exterminate them.
The Red Maple Cavalry Regiment, as one of the reserve forces, is on guard at the edge of the battlefield, ready to intercept the black cavalry that may break through at any time.
But now it seems that there is no need for this, and the Solid Stone Regiment has basically wiped out all the black riders after paying a lot of price.
In the field of vision, the last black horseman, after losing his warhorse, silently launched an attack. But the next moment, three demonic spears pierced his body, causing him to fall down and never get up again.
