Chapter 497: The Second Fire
It's ironic to think about it.
Regarded as the most perfect retreat plan by their eighteen countries, its producer is actually their current great enemy Vega?
Reynolds looked at the crowd with pity.
Although Vega did not tell him the specific details of how to annihilate the soldiers of the 17th National Army, and only asked him to cooperate unconditionally, he had already smelled a hint of extreme danger from this almost flawless plan.
Need to know.
This retreat plan, even he, who knows the inside story, failed to find any loopholes in it in the case of empathy, if this plan is carried out, it seems that the dynasty army can't do anything with them.
And what does this mean?
This shows that the more flawless the plan, the more it proves that Vega's plans are not small.
Vega couldn't be kind enough to really make a perfect retreat plan for them, which was no different from a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, and these grand dukes who were convinced of the retreat plan probably had a hard time.
As Reynolds Baya thought.
If Vega doesn't harm the 18 countries, they should burn high incense, can you still expect Vega to do charity for them?
On the surface, this plan is indeed flawless, after all, this is the hand of Vega, a battle-hardened front-line senior officer, how can it be possible to see through the loopholes with the eyes of those vassal small countries.
No!
Even if you are a famous general, I am afraid you can't see anything wrong with it.
Because of the complex terrain of the Kareni Mountains and the towering trees, once the army enters it, it is difficult to catch the enemy's traces by relying on the reconnaissance troops.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say.
There is no more perfect plan, and there is no better route of retreat.
But there is no perfect plan in the world, and the more perfect the plan, once there is even the slightest loophole, it can be fatal and put you in a place of no return.
This loophole is not anywhere else, it is here with Reynolds Baya.
As long as Reynolds exists, is Vega afraid that he won't be able to catch the enemy's coordinates?
As long as you accurately grasp the coordinates of the enemy, then it is easy to make a second surprise attack or set up an ambush.
And at the end of the day.
This retreat plan was made by him, even if the choice of a small fork in the mountain range was through his hands, under this kind of premise, what did the eighteen countries that were kept in the dark escape from the palm of his hand?
That's Vega's self-confidence.
At this time, even if there was a five-star general in the enemy's army, it would be absolutely impossible to suspect that Reynolds Baya, the commander-in-chief, was already his person, let alone guess that the retreat plan that Reynolds came up with was from him.
Vega is in Ming.
Reynolds is in the dark.
This light and darkness cooperate with each other, and the victory or defeat of this war is already known at this moment.
————
Five days later.
It had been three days since the 18-nation coalition had entered the Kareni Mountains after spending two days organizing its troops.
The past three days have been calm, except for the occasional death of a few soldiers, there has been no surprise attack or blockade by the dynasty army, everything is advancing in an orderly manner according to the retreat plan.
"Three days, just three more days, you can get to Kareni. ”
"yes, there were no accidents in the middle of the way. ”
"Thanks to the perfect plan of the Grand Duke of Baya, otherwise I don't know how much damage would have been caused by this retreat. ”
“......”
During the break, the Grand Duke praised the plan and looked forward to returning to Kareni safely in three days.
"Grand Duke Baya?"
But when praising Reynolds Baya, everyone saw him silent, holding the food for a long time.
"Grand Duke Baya, are you alright?"
Chife nudged Reynolds before he reacted, then smiled awkwardly and echoed the crowd.
Time flies.
Reynolds Baya's anomaly didn't take them to heart, and everyone attributed the anomaly to the fatigue.
But only he knew that just tonight, Vega was about to start working, because early this morning, his liaison with Vega sent him a message from Vegana -
Before 3:00 a.m.
It was necessary for him to secretly order his soldiers to stay away from the area where the large army was stationed.
Although he himself did not know what Vega's idea was and how to use to completely annihilate the seventeen-nation alliance, if he wanted to upgrade the word 'principality' of the Principality of Baya to 'Empire', he had to do it according to Vega's orders.
The path was chosen by himself.
The road to the rise of this great power, let alone risking one's life, even if it takes several generations or dozens of generations of children and grandchildren, it is worth giving it a go!
Therefore, in the afternoon of the same day, Reynolds Baya deliberately ordered his troops to slow down and hang at the end of the whole army, and his army was naturally responsible for the rear guard that night.
At 00:00 a.m.
Reynolds Bayard ordered the whole army to temporarily break away from the large army and move towards the mountainside to the north, a move that did not alarm the other 17 countries, because Reynolds's army was hanging at the end, and in the dead of night, who had nothing to do with the armies of other countries?
Although the other seventeen archdukes did not notice Reynolds's movements, one person did, and he was none other than the general of the army of the Grand Duke of Chife-
Joel Sealand.
As early as this afternoon, he noticed the abnormality of Reynolds's face, and then Reynolds deliberately hung the team at the end and attracted his attention again, of course, these were not enough to make him suspect what Reynolds had in mind, he just felt that there must be something wrong with it, so he kept an eye on Reynolds's every move.
It wasn't until Reynolds Baya ordered the entire army to evacuate that his heart couldn't help beating wildly.
In a flash of inspiration, Joel Sealand seemed to have caught something, so he came to Reynolds for the first time: "Your Majesty Baya, may I ask where you are going to mobilize your troops in the middle of the night?"
Reynolds was startled by Joel's voice.
However, he quickly came back to his senses and squinted at Joel, he didn't talk too much nonsense, and he didn't make any excuses, but said straight to the point: "How much do you know about this? ”
"If I'm not mistaken......"
Joel didn't answer, but took a deep breath, and then said without humility or arrogance: "Your Majesty has betrayed the empire and is ready to join forces with the enemy to trap a coalition army?" At the beginning, I was still wondering why the dynasty army had time to burn all the supplies, why did it leave enough supplies for the coalition army to retreat, and it turned out that the second fire was ready to kill and burn here. ”
The first fire burns the grain.
The second fire burns people.
Burning grain to create an opportunity to burn people is indeed Vega's entire plan.
And at this moment, among the coalition forces, there is finally a clear person who sees through the whole picture of Vega's plan.
It's a pity that the plan has come to an end, and it is only at this time that the whole plan is realized, and even the gods cannot save it.
