Chapter 119 Seven Contingency Plans
Looking at Busbos on his knees, Dikar II was not angry, and just now, as one of the backup plans for the defense of the city of Basrady, Buspos proposed the reactivation of Adlem. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, the city defense plan of Baslarates City discussed by Dikar and Bobos was good, and even began to be arranged and implemented, but at this time, Bobos proposed to revise this defense plan, even if he did not propose to reactivate Adlem, the change in this defense plan alone was too big for Dikar to accept, because Bobos proposed to form a separate mobile force of 50,000 soldiers who had been temporarily recruited from all over the country. It was even necessary to draw a considerable part of the original defense force of Basradis into this mobile force.
After a while, Dikal suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Bubo, the widow originally thought that your capital defense plan was not perfect, but at least it had merit, and he was also very confident in your ability to surround the capital. But what the widow doesn't understand is, why did you suddenly change your mind at this time? The widow wants a satisfactory explanation. ”
Bopos knelt on the ground with his head bowed, and he didn't have to look up to feel the displeasure in His Majesty's words. If it was usual, Bu Bo would probably have hurriedly apologized, but today his attitude was very resolute: "Your Majesty, in fact, Wei Chen himself had no objection to the original defense plan, until Wei Chen consulted someone. ”
"Who?" Dicar's question isn't really to be asked, it's to be confirmed.
"It's the former General Adlem."
"I knew it was him!"
"Your Majesty forgives me, Wechen knows that doing so will make Your Majesty unhappy, but for the safety of my capital of Arubania, Wechen still went to consult him. Wei Chen knew that His Majesty was reluctant to mention this person, but His Majesty also had to admit that this person was still the most outstanding military commander in our country, and His Majesty could not dislike him as a person, but he could not help but listen to his opinions. ”
Dikar didn't want to argue with Bopos about this, so he said, "Okay, okay, the widow doesn't want to continue the discussion on this topic, you can just say what Adlem said." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Bu Bo slowly straightened up and said, "According to Adlem's judgment, Li Tianhao will not take the initiative to attack Basradic City, it is just a cover for him." ”
"Disguise?"
"Not bad. Your Majesty, please think that Li Tianhao's raids on the Anmen Fortress and Carter Harbor were to take us by surprise, and unfortunately he succeeded. But now that these two fortresses have fallen into his hands, anyone will know that the royal capital of Basradia has become a target for him to attack. In this case, the garrison of the royal capital will inevitably be strengthened, and Li Tianhao will not be able to capture Baslardy City by only attacking Anmen, so it is conceivable that he will definitely transfer additional troops from Parci. The question is how many troops can he draw? According to intelligence, the total number of combat troops in Palci was not particularly rich, and Li Tianhao could not ignore Palci's consolation and attack the city of Basradic without all his might, and besides, his fleet would have to transport such a large number of troops, and it would be difficult to replenish and waste a lot of time. Therefore, it is foreseeable that the scale of the troops that Li Tianhao will mobilize will not be very large. Then it will be very clear that since Li Tianhao's troops will not be very large, and it will take a considerable amount of time to come and go, then we will have plenty of time to do a good job in the defense of Basara, so that Li Tianhao's increased troops will still not be able to pose a mortal threat to Basara. In this situation, how could Li Tianhao come across the sea with all the hardships just for a war that was impossible to win? ”
Dicar II, with a cheek supported by one hand, listened to Pospos say this, and said: "Then according to Adlem's speculation, this Basradis will not be defensive?" ”
Bopos shook his head and said, "That's not true. Because Li Tianhao has the ability to attack the royal capital, then he will look for the best opportunity to invade, and we can't give him this opportunity. The defense of Basradis had to be done, but it was not necessary to amass a large number of troops as originally planned. It would only be enough to convince Palci that the capital was strong and well guarded would be enough to deter their attempts. However, Li Tianhao's next action goal is what we should pay close attention to and speculate. ”
"His goal?"
"Exactly. If Li Tianhao has a strong force at hand, the best option for him is to launch attacks along our coastline, especially against the coastal towns near Basradi. This was because it would terrify the inhabitants of Basradi, cause substantial harm to the people outside the royal capital, and spread the news that the royal capital was threatened by enemy forces throughout Arubania. These three points alone are enough to produce a tremendous political propaganda effect and deal a great blow to the morale of the people in our country. It was in view of this that Adlem suggested that the army originally used for the defense of the royal capital should be formed into a mobile force, and arranged near the city of Basratia, so that as soon as the Palchi army landed somewhere, then this army would immediately rush there to fight the enemy, in which case the Palchi army, which lacked a foundation and rear, would have a hard time gaining a foothold, and as long as their threat was repelled by our army several times, then their plot could not have the desired effect. ”
After hearing this, Dikal nodded and said, "Listening to what you say, it seems to make some sense. However, if Li Tianhao adopts the method of avoiding and not fighting in this regard, and takes advantage of his fleet's mobility ability to constantly exhaust our army, then our army will not only not be victorious, but may be dragged down as a result. ”
Bu Bo nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise. It is precisely in view of this that Adlerm plans to divide this mobile force into two teams, the north and the south, to deal with the possible threat of the Palchi army, so that our army can be in a relatively active position. However, there is one question that needs to be solved urgently, that is, who should be the commander of these two mobile units? To be able to deal with an enemy general like Li Tianhao, it is necessary to have a general with considerable command ability, and it is in view of this that Wei Chen suggested to His Majesty that Adlerm be reactivated. ”
Hearing this, Dikar let out a sigh of relief and said: "Bu Bo, these widows you said think that they can indeed consider making corresponding adjustments, but forget about the reactivation of Adlem, after all, he is not the only general in Arubania, even if they are not as good as Adlem, at least they can faithfully implement our tactics and ensure that they are not lost, it is enough." ”
Bupos lowered his head and sighed secretly: Adlem was right, and sure enough, Dikar promised everything except for him to come back. (To be continued.) )
