Chapter 692: The Hammondale Line
Chapter 692: The Hammondale Line
Half-elf Pete is very young, and he doesn't have much experience in leading the army, in fact, the number of times he leads the army to fight alone is only a handful, and it is only some scale of battles, even if he is now a major general of the empire, but most of the time, he is in charge of the training of recruits, rather than being sent out by Chen Jian to defend the side like experienced and famous generals like Christine.
Therefore, although he is the descendant of Chen Jian's line, there are still many people, especially those Negan generals, who do not think that he has any real material in private.
But these do not mean that the half-elf is not an excellent general, under the careful cultivation of Chen Jian, the half-elf grows up quickly, he has a good overall view, and more importantly, under the influence of Chen Jian, he has a young Christine and others and those Negan generals can not be compared, almost whimsical and eclectic way of thinking, and the spirit of the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, which often allows him to make his own unique judgments on various things from another angle and another point of view.
"Our original strategic plan has been disrupted, and the undead creatures have been defeated too quickly, so we have to face the enemy's offensive in advance, and even fall into a two-front combat situation, in this case, why should we stick to the original strategic plan to passively defend?"
"Instead of letting the enemy burn the flames of war to the area of Over, which we are working so hard to build, it is better to shift the battlefield to Hammondal, which is now a scorched earth, so that we can minimize our losses, right?"
"In fact, we don't need to invest too many troops in Baierdes, although the Erathian Army is menacing, but Bairders is our home Bairders underground transportation network, after our transformation, it is also very different from the past, we can use less troops to fight a guerrilla war in Bairders and the Erathian Army, and the Erathian Army wants to attack Bairders, the supply line is bound to be very long, and we don't need to implement scorched earth tactics locally, and they can't get any supplies, As long as we can effectively strike at its supply lines, then it is impossible for the Erathian army to drive straight into Baildus."
"And dragging the Erathian army into a protracted war, in the long run, it will also do more advantages than disadvantages, if the Erathia Empire can't end the war in Bairders as soon as they expect, then not only can it not affect the situation in the Hammondale area, reduce the defensive pressure on its eastern border, but will fall into the unfavorable situation of fighting on three fronts at the same time, Tytalia, Harmondale and Bailders, if we can properly use odd troops to put some pressure on its eastern border, what kind of situation will it be?"
"The Erathia Empire is not something that we can defeat immediately with our current strength, even so, we might as well drag the Erathia Army into another war quagmire, and work with other forces hostile to the Erathia Empire to bring down this country of the Big 6 little by little, even if it can't be dragged down, we can weaken the strength of the other party as much as possible."
"Of course, the long war is also a severe test for us, but compared to the Erathian Army, we obviously have an advantage over them in all aspects, and through the magic portal, our logistics supply is much more convenient than theirs, so I think this is definitely a war worth fighting."
"In this way, we can completely focus on the Hammondale area, my personal opinion is that due to our conservative behavior for a period of time, neither the Erathian Empire nor the Elven Kingdom would have thought that we would attack Hammondale at this time, and they certainly didn't expect that we had so much courage to suddenly put so much force into fighting in Hammondal, we could take them by surprise"
"But we want to retake Hammondal, but we don't necessarily have to completely occupy Hammondal, this operation, our main purpose is to protect our investment in the Haves area through the war in the Harmony area, if the three sides are confrontational, I think we should have a way to form a stalemate in the Harmony area, in a sense, we are just pushing the defense line in the Halfdale area to the Harmony area, and at the same time, this will also allow us to avoid being flanked by the enemy on both sides in the Byrds area."
"Ideally, we succeed in occupying Hammondal, it would be even better, the strategic significance of the Hammondale region goes without saying, and the strength of the Farouk army was far inferior to ours at the beginning, but it was able to use the Doomsday Blade to resist the two sides of the Erathia Empire and the Elven Kingdom on the ground, we have the dragon king's divine power in our hands, Master Barty, and the strength is far superior to the Farouk army, so I think what the Rook army can do, there is no reason why we can't do it as long as we build a strong defense line in the Hammondale area, when the time comesMaybe we can contain more enemies with fewer troops."
Pete's eloquent conversation plunged the conference hall into silence, and everyone listened quietly to Pete's plan, their faces thoughtful.
Jian Chen also groaned because of Pete's words.
Both Jade and Pi Ji's plans have their own strengths, but the two of them have set a big premise first, which is to start an all-out war with the Elasia Empire and the Elven Kingdom.
This is also a fact that can no longer be changed, although it has always been outside the big 6, sitting on the wall in the midst of a war to watch the expansion of the exhibition, but now, the Ntagri Empire is also inevitably involved in the flames of war.
Unless Jian Chen is willing to give up on entering the Big 6, otherwise, this situation will definitely happen, it's just a matter of time.
Of course, Jian Chen was unwilling to give up on entering the Big 6, in fact, even if he was willing, the situation would not allow him to get his wish, the Entagri Empire was eager to expand, and he had to follow the general trend.
Therefore, Jian Chen has always hoped that the day of a full-scale war will be delayed, because he always thinks that his Entagri Empire is not strong enough, but the situation is pressing, and many times, the plan always can't catch up with the changes.
And if there is a full-scale war, Chen Jian is of course inclined to agree with Pitt's opinion, because compared to Jedett's plan, Pitt's plan can obviously allow the Entagri Empire to obtain more long-term benefits, but Jedette's plan is also good, if he wants to build momentum and play prestige, Jedette's tactics are obviously more effective.
After pondering for a while, Jian Chen discussed in a low voice with Moryl and Tanan, who had just joined, and finally made a decision.
It's just that at this time, in the Entagri Empire, whether it is Jian Chen or anyone else, they have not yet realized that the enemy is not just what they know, and the elven king** team that used the two-way magic portal to enter the Ofer region has already begun to carry out its imminent attack plan with the cooperation of the frontal army somewhere they have not noticed.
