Chapter 358: Strategy
No one knows whether things would have gotten a little better if Governor Conley had slowed down the offensive and put the course of the all-out offensive into the spring of next year, as planned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But Arcades felt it would be better than it was now.
Previously, Hackett and others strongly suggested that Governor Conley launch an offensive in advance, saying that Dane in the south was developing too fast, and the progress of Governor Ozer integrating the forces in the east was also very fast, and if he didn't start early and delayed until the beginning of next spring, he didn't know how much his advantage would be saved.
On this point, Arcades had refuted, but to no avail, and Governor Conry believed it.
Actually, it's not hard to understand. Because, in the past half a year, the information and feedback received from all sides, although the overall strength is still superior, but in terms of strength improvement and development, Governor Ozer of Beast Blood Castle and Dane of Hindlaire South are indeed faster than them. It was precisely because of this that the Governor of Conley chose to attack early.
It's just that this offensive launched in advance still hasn't achieved the expected results, so that it has reached the current situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger.
No one could think of a good solution, and even the Arcades, who were opposed to radicalism, were cautious not to make any suggestions after saying that the war was hasty.
At this time, making random suggestions, if something happens, you will have to carry the cauldron of life and death.
In a huge hall, the atmosphere became very quiet when it was silent.
After a while, Kang Li finally spoke by himself.
He took a heavy breath and said: "The offensive in the north cannot be stopped, send an order to Galvin and Anders, let them immediately step up the offensive, quickly capture Ice Cave City, suppress Ozer's army from the north, be tough, don't be afraid of a decisive battle." Let the legions left behind in Chaos City send 3,000 men to support them, transfer 2,000 men from Cinderella, and bring me together the warlords, and draw at least 10,000 warriors to the north. Hackett, you personally take me to the north with the Shadowmancer Regiment. ā
As soon as these words came out, none of the three people below dared to object. Kang Li is still very courageous, regardless of whether the choice to launch an offensive in advance was right or wrong, but now that the situation has come to this point, retreat is the most important thing. In any case, the big war will still be fought.
And in this case, relative to Dane, the real enemy is still Ozer. This is why he still demanded that the Northern Army continue to maintain a tough attitude, and even did not hesitate to transfer another 15,000 troops from all sides to supplement them.
The strength of those miscellaneous warlords is not very strong, but it is a whole 10,000 people, and they are all full-fledged soldiers with weapons and training, and they are not so weak that they are not weak. And the strength of a total of 5,000 people drawn from Cinderella and Chaos City is even more Kangri's descendant troops. Not to mention, the Shadow Warlock Order, which can be called the capital of the governor of Kangli, has been sent out.
In this way, the total number of troops gathered in Governor Conriy's Army Group North would approach the total of 40,000 men. Looking at this posture, Kang Li is already ready in his heart, even if it is a real decisive battle with Ou Ze, he will not hesitate.
However, although it was like a rainbow, in fact, after saying so much and making so many arrangements, he still did not say a half-word solution to the Dane in the south.
He's thinking.
Arcade, Hackett, and Janice didn't dare to say a word below to interrupt Conry's train of thought.
After a while, I heard Conry say, "Janice, you can go to the Iron Nail Post for me, I want to talk to Dane." ā
Hearing this, Janice's face changed drastically!
Conry ignored Janice's face, turned to Arcade and said, "As for you, go find Greeting Katim." I'll give you 3,000 men, and you'll bring the Dark Spirit Warriors with you. You don't have to take the initiative to provoke Dane, but if he really doesn't know what to do and continues to attack north, try to block him for me, delay his attack, and then ...... Get ready to defend Cinderella. I'm sure Dane wouldn't be that stupid, though. ā
ā¦ā¦
Dane, who was in the Iron Nail Height, was in no hurry to continue his northward march after taking full control of the city.
Further north, there are no other strategic objectives worth tackling. A few small towns are scattered over the wasteland, and further north is under the city of Cinderella.
Although it was not too difficult to fight the Iron Nail Gang, he was not arrogant enough to really think that he could lead the forces in his hands to the north and directly capture the capital city of Cinderella.
Conry is not that weak.
But there's no way he's going to do nothing after taking the city.
In addition to further clearing and controlling the whole city, Dane also sent a number of troops to carry out indiscriminate sweeps and strikes on the towns north of Iron Nail Gang and within a week's march. The troops and money he lost at the Iron Nail Post had to find a place to make up for it, and he couldn't win the battle but lost money.
Among them, the most important target that he went to settle and need to sweep was the territory of the warlord Arnold. The hapless Arnold, originally with his main force, was coming to the rescue of Dempsey. As a result, the rescue failed, and was attacked by a surprise attack on the way, and the whole army was wiped out and he died.
His legions are gone, but his realm, his wealth, remains. These things are not so easy to transfer.
Although the news of Arnold's defeat would definitely make the people who remained in his territory move, Dane's movements were fast enough, and after the battle was finished and the last force of the Dempsey Legion was eliminated, he immediately moved towards Arnold's territory. I dare not say that all of Arnold's wealth, at least most of it, fell into his hands.
This made Dane a good life. Arnold had accumulated a lot of wealth, and after calculating it, not counting the real estate in those towns, not counting the surrounding estates and villages that belonged to him, just gold coins, jewelry, and some collections, Dane got sixty or seventy thousand gold coins.
He had to sigh again, fighting to feed the war, and plundering, it was really the fastest way to get money.
However, in any case, the victory in the battle of Iron Nail Gang can only be regarded as a phased victory, and it is far from the time to really pick the fruits of victory. Dane is still in his right mind, and he won't be complacent because of this victory. However, even so, what kind of policy and strategy to have next, he still hasn't thought about it yet.
After all, whatever the strategy, it needs to be based on how the enemy will react.
