Chapter 57: Perseus has a plan
A war was suspended for the time being.
The war began with Kong Ming setting up an ambush and a surprise attack, and Perseus rushed to help.
More than 5,000 men were killed and wounded on the side of Kong Ming, and about 3,000 men on Nero's side could not fight. Although Kong Ming's side suffered more casualties, considering the comparison of military strength between the two sides, it was actually Nero who suffered a little more.
However, because Kong Ming took the lead in the ambush and raid, in general, they won and lost each other, and they were evenly divided.
Of course, this is only a temporary result, and the next decisive battle is the real difference between victory and defeat.
Kong Ming's side has a strength advantage, and Nero's side has a super high-end lineup.
Now that each other's abilities and treasures are mostly exposed, there is not much room for operation between the two sides, and the next thing to compete is to arrange troops and command on the spot.
On the night of the strike, the high-level leaders of both sides gathered in the tent of the Chinese military commander to discuss countermeasures. What's even more coincidental is that both Kong Ming and Joan of Arc are the same proposition.
"Tomorrow's decisive battle, quick victory!"
"Teacher, isn't it a little too anxious?" Iskandar asked Zhuge Kongming, "A lot of mana has only been consumed today, and the physical energy consumed by the soldiers also needs some time to recover, so it is better to wait for two more days." β
"You can't wait, and if you wait for a long time, unexpected changes will easily occur. In the case of a rapid march from Gaul, reinforcements would arrive in two days. Since Nero has the name of a tyrant, he may not be unable to do things like forced conscription. In addition, we also need to consider the issue of servants, Lu Bu and your cheap brother are all from other places, maybe there are servants we don't know about? β
But Nero must have had the same concerns. The military power is stronger in the United Empire, and it is easier for us to obtain it, and with the Holy Grail here, we can summon new servants at any time, as long as the magician wants to. β
"Soβthe enemy will not give us a chance to delay, and tomorrow's decisive battle is imperative." Kong Ming had expected this.
Iskandar exclaimed: "As a teacher, you expected it." β
ββ¦β¦ Can you not speak in this tone, it is easy for me to think of a certain problem child. For some reason, the corners of Kong Ming's mouth twitched.
"It must be a former student of the teacher, and it must be a great talent."
"Yes, great talents, both good and bad." Kong Ming involuntarily covered his stomach, "Forget it, don't mention him, my stomach hurts." β
"Okay." Iskandar was curious, but he didn't want to ask, "I'm going to check the night garrison and try to avoid being infiltrated by the enemy." That Miss Jing Ke, as well as my brother, seemed to be very good at this. β
"No need." Kong Ming shook his head, "They won't come, although I really hope that they will, so that we can weaken the enemy's combat power in advance and increase the chances of winning the decisive battle." β
β¦β¦
Kong Ming was not wrong at all, at the same time, in Nero's handsome tent, Perseus was also saying the same thing, to Jing Ke.
"You don't have to go, not only is it useless to go, but you may also encounter danger."
"You doubt my abilities?" Jing Ke raised his eyebrows dissatisfied.
"How can it be, you are the most famous assassin in Chinese history, and you are also an important combat force of our side." Perseus smiled and shook his head, "But Zhuge Kongming is extraordinary, he can turn the entire camp into his position. Any disturbance in the position could not be concealed from him, and it was too risky to act in his position. β
"Well, that's a problem." Jing Ke had to admit it.
The magician and the assassin who set up the position were too poor, and the enemy was that Zhuge Kongming, and a "stone soldier eight array" was covered, and Jing Ke didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to get out.
Joan of Arc added: "At the moment, our only advantage is the number of servants, and we can no longer give the enemy a chance to break through. β
"I see." Jing Ke lifted the wine gourd and poured two sips.
"Thank you for your understanding." Perseus nodded, "Let's discuss tomorrow's specific tactical issues, and whoever has a suggestion, just mention it." β
"I have." Chitu spoke.
"Say."
"Lu Bu and I were pioneers, and we fought all the way to ......"
"You didn't say we'd do the same, wouldn't you?"
"Me."
"Queen Boudicca, what do you suggest?"
"No, I suggest." Boudicca simply shook his head, "I just want to say that it's okay to charge, but when it comes to strategy, everyone is really not good at it, and you can decide on tactics, Joan of Arc and His Majesty Nero." β
"Don't look at Yu." Nero, who was sitting on the throne, waved his hand, "Yu said that he would leave it to Joan of Arc to decide, and he would not interfere." β
"Thank you for your trust, Nero, but the enemy is that Zhuge Kongming, and I have no confidence in victory."
Joan of Arc is not afraid, it's just that anyone who is an enemy of Zhuge Kongming does not dare to say that he will win, this is the weight of the army.
"Perseus, you've fought him the most, do you have any good ideas."
"Of course there is a way, but I don't know what the effect is, and it's more negative."
"It doesn't matter if you are bad, being the enemy of a wise man like Zhuge Kongming is not the time to pay attention to demeanor." Jing Ke was the first to speak out in favor. She was an Assassin and had no psychological pressure on this.
In fact, Perseus just complained, and if he didn't plan to use it, he wouldn't say it at all.
He looked at his bracelet and said, "Roman, are the things I ordered ready?" β
"It's done." There was a bit of hesitation in Roman's voice, "But...... If you really want to use that trick, it's too ruthless. β
"If you have a way to defeat Zhuge Kongming, I don't need to, do you have it?" Perseus's attitude was unmatched.
"I didn't." Roman replied weakly.
"So, you can only do whatever it takes. Your Majesty Nero, Elizabeth, take this and make sure you remember it before the war begins tomorrow. Perseus said, handing the two document bags in his hand to the two women.
Elizabeth opened it and looked at it, and her eyes lit up suddenly, "No problem, I will remember it even if I don't sleep." β
Nero, by contrast, was a little hesitant: "This is ...... ...... in Roman pronunciation Oriental scripts? It seems to be a ...... Speeches? β
"It is rumored that His Majesty is a genius, and it is indeed worthy of his name. That's right, this is a speech, specifically for Zhuge Kongming. If you are lucky, maybe you can surrender the soldiers without a fight, and call that Zhuge Kongming to surrender, isn't it beautiful? β
"Ahh
Zhuge Kongming, who was five kilometers away, suddenly sneezed, and a vicious chill rose from the soles of his feet, spreading all the way up, straight to the back of his head, and even the body that surpassed humans could not contain it.
"This feeling is...... No, this is Rome in the first century AD, they can't have appeared, absolutely impossible...... My stomach. β
