Chapter 415: Exploiting Weaknesses
Rumble!
A burst of fireworks, breaking the door of the underground warehouse.
Theon led the army to this large and large underground warehouse.
Although it was only one of the warehouses, it also stockpiled up a hill of grain, and he pushed aside a group of soldiers and came to it himself.
Hold the sword of command.
Theon picked open one of the sacks with his blade, and he wanted to make sure for himself that it was indeed the supply he wanted to destroy.
But when the sword went down, something happened that made Theon's smile freeze.
Normally, in this case, the grain would flow to the ground along the gap he had picked, but now the situation was completely different from what he had imagined.
The stream did flow down.
But instead of grain, what came down was a pile of sand.
Sand?
Theon seemed to have thought of something, his face changed wildly, and the sword of command in his hand swung repeatedly, piercing sacks one after another, trying to find even a grain of grain, but all he saw was sand.
Why are grains of sand put into sacks as grain?
This kind of thing was already very clear, and Theon immediately turned around and shouted urgently: "Retreat! Order the whole army to withdraw from the city immediately, we have been fooled, this is a trap." ”
Theon's answer was not an affirmative from the adjutant, but the sound of the mountains shaking.
Boom Boom Boom –
The roar of magic came overhead, and puffs of dust fell through the ceiling of the underground warehouse, leaving everyone in disgrace, and Theon couldn't even sit on his feet at the ground from the tremor.
"Where's the magic bombardment?"
Theon asked knowingly, and after asking, he didn't care about it, and hurriedly shouted to everyone: "Get out, get out quickly, we are surrounded by enemies, this must be the conspiracy of that little ghost." ”
Bang.
Slamming open the door, Theon and his party rushed out of the underground warehouse.
But what caught his eye was a sea of fire, and his 100,000 soldiers were being dazzled by the overwhelming barrage of arrows and magic, accompanied by the skyrocketing fire around them, not only could they not organize an effective counterattack, but they could not even distinguish the enemy's position.
It's over, it's all over.
Theon couldn't even hold the sword of command in his hand.
He looked at everything in front of him and fell into a state of dementia.
In this state, failure is a foregone conclusion, because they are like tigers that have fallen into a trap, and no matter how much they struggle, they will not be able to get out of the trap.
"I see, I see!"
Theon's remorseful voice echoed, but it was useless, and it was only by this time that he finally cleared the fog and saw the full extent of Vega's plans, as well as his cleverness.
There are no supply lines, which is indeed the fatal point of Vega.
And he did catch Vega's weakness and tried to use it to drag Vega to death.
Later, Vega's behavior of borrowing food from civilians seemed to him to be a sign of self-defeat.
It was precisely when he saw this that he thought that Vega was in a position to fight the final battle.
But now it seems that this is clearly a relaxation of his vigilance.
Then Vega ordered that the grain of the Nine Cities be transported to the city of Nara without concealment, which was probably baiting him.
Immediately after that, he ignored the public opinion of Jiucheng, and let his war spies probe the information in the city, Vega was afraid that he was deliberately exposing his flaws to him, telling him that he would definitely not lose if he started a war now.
In the end, the joint letter of the businessman became a reassuring pill.
It can be said that this time Vega really broke his heart for him, for fear that he would not attack, and even the target location that needs to be destroyed, detailed city information, and the personnel responsible for receiving it are clearly arranged for him.
Vega gave him a near-perfect battle plan.
Coupled with the current situation in the Black Gold City, as well as the frequent urging of the Great Prince, in the end, his hungry wolf finally failed to control his impulses and jumped into the trap prepared for him by the enemy.
So the battle was lost.
Seeing the firebursts fall from the sky towards his position, Theon slowly closed his eyes.
There's no need to struggle anymore.
The gates of the city must have been sealed, the ambushed army had cut off all their retreats, and even if he had three heads and six arms, it would be absolutely impossible to break out of the siege, so there was no need to do such a useless struggle.
"I've been controlling my weaknesses all my life. ”
"I thought that if I controlled my weaknesses, I could be invincible. ”
"But it didn't understand until now. ”
"The really strong never try to control weaknesses, they only take advantage of weaknesses. ”
"It's a pity...... I knew too late. ”
Boom –
The earth mage's barrier was finally shattered, and Theon disappeared from this world completely.
As Theon said.
Because the situation in the Black Gold City and the urging of the Great Prince made him eager to pacify the downstream as soon as possible, which was his Achilles' heel, but Theon was trying to control his weakness and wait for Vega to reveal his flaws.
Now Vega has indeed exposed its weaknesses.
These flaws are not fakes.
Vega is indeed short of food, and the civilians are indeed hating Vega's army, these are well-documented and true truths!
But Vega did not try to control these weaknesses like him, but exposed them to him, using them to lure him into the trap step by step, and finally buried him here completely.
Vega, who was on the tall building, smiled.
He looked at the sea of fire in front of him and muttered, "Strength can become a weapon, weakness can become a weapon, and truth can even become a murder weapon, Theon, you should almost understand this." ”
Insufficient supplies.
This was his Achilles' heel, Vega knew it, and he never deceived himself into thinking that his enemies did not know.
Therefore, it became reasonable for him to take advantage of this fact to carry out the act of looting civilians, and even the world's famous detectives could not find out that it was actually his deliberate doing.
Therefore, "losing the hearts of the people" and "losing the morale of the army" have become his second Achilles' heel.
Vega once again took advantage of this second weakness and ordered the merchant to write a joint letter to Theon, all of which made sense, and there was nothing to question in between, because this was the truth.
Just as a lie needs countless lies to make up for it.
One weakness can also create an infinite number of weaknesses.
At this stage, Vega was already full of flaws, and he had prepared countless reasons for Theon to attack.
These real weaknesses and truths, after luring the eager Theon into a trap, turned into murder weapons, and finally allowed Vega to win the war.
The so-called make the best use of things.
After taking advantage of these weaknesses, Vega can also take the method of doubling the return of food to the common people to win the hearts of the people, and his behavior of borrowing and repaying and repaying the principal with interest can not only make the current negative impact disappear, but also earn a reputation for keeping his word.
Don't forget, Vega has planted the foreshadowing of "IOUs" before.
