Chapter 736: Take Command
Just a word.
Haussman swept away the decline and regained confidence in the crowd.
This is because Haussman has hit the nail on the head to catch something that can soothe everyone's anxiety - hope.
Prior to this, the rebels fought alone, and if they failed, they would be directly annihilated, and everyone was under tremendous pressure in their hearts, which also led to the fact that once there was any bit of defeat, it could stir the fragile hearts of the whole army.
But now it's different.
First of all, there is no doubt about the military strength of the Jialan Empire, which is a terrifying existence with god-rank mages and star mages, with hundreds of thousands of troops, to repel the world alliance forces.
Now such a terrifying existence, saying that you want to support them?
So is there any reason for losing this battle?
Absolutely not!
Even the whole world united, more than five million troops can be defeated, what else can they not do? Their minds have already made up the scene of the Jialan army as soon as the Jialan army arrives, and the imperial army flees in despair.
"Chief, is this true?"
An officer said excitedly: "God pity, we are finally saved." ”
"Nature is true. ”
Hausman coughed and took the opportunity to walk out from behind Coverdale: "I am Hausman, the Admiral of the Jialan Empire, and I can assure you that our army is ready to go. ”
"Are you...... General Hausman?"
Everyone's eyes lit up: "It won't be wrong, I have long heard that General Hausman of the Empire has been invested under the command of the Jialan Empire, since General Hausman is here, this news must be true." ”
"Thank you for your great help. ”
Everyone saluted Haussmann in unison, and then asked, "May I ask how your army can get here?"
"It may take a little while. ”
Hausman said with some embarrassment: "You also know that the Jialan Empire is far away from here, even if it is a rapid march, it will take more than a month and a half, not to mention that this time Your Majesty is not sending more than 100,000 troops......
"Ahem. ”
Hausman seemed to realize something, and the rest of his words came to an abrupt end, he hurriedly coughed a few times and said: "Ahem, it is a matter of military secrets, and it is not appropriate to disclose it for the time being, in short, His Majesty the King of China would like to ask your army to hold the city of war and wait for the arrival of our army." ”
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, that we will hold out until your army arrives. ”
Several officers hurriedly assured that Haussmann would cancel their support for them for fear of taking a step in the evening.
However, at this time, Hausman pretended to say: "But how did I hear that the Imperial Army has reached the other side of the Tanke River, and can take the entire war city within half a month?"
"This ......"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to answer Haussmann's question.
Seeing this, Hausman threw another bombshell: "If you can't hold the war city, our army is likely to cancel its support for you, so I need a guarantee from you." ”
Gritted his teeth.
There was a spark in everyone's eyes: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, we promise to be able to hold the city of war!"
"I believe in your commitment. ”
Hausman nodded, then looked at Coverdale, "I wonder what plan you're going to take next to repel the Imperial Army?"
"This ......"
Coverdale was very cooperative with Hausman, and he said awkwardly: "We have a meeting today and are preparing to discuss this. ”
"Haven't decided which strategy to use?"
Hausman said with an excited look: "So, as a friend, I wonder if you can let me participate in the discussion of the plan?
"General, do you already have a way to repel the Imperial Army?"
One of the officers was thrilled when he heard this.
Hausman said with an incredulous look: "Before the arrival of our reinforcements, it may be difficult to defeat the Imperial Army, but is it not easy to repel the Imperial Army? ”
Everyone bowed their heads in shame.
Haussman seemed unaware of this, and he continued: "So this time, for the sake of your allies, I sincerely hope that you will use my strategy to repel the Imperial army, and I am here to ask you to do so. ”
"The general is polite. ”
The officers looked at Coverdale: "Commander, since we have formed an alliance with the Jialan Empire, it is better to let General Hausman take command of this battle, so that our allies can know our sincerity." ”
The crowd silently prayed in their hearts that Coverdale would not make a foolish refusal.
Coverdale was once again stunned by Haussmann's actions, and before the meeting he was still agonizing over how to get the people to obey Haussmann's orders, and now in a few words, the people forced him to relinquish the command......
Who's the leader here?
So Coverdale was 'forced' to agree to Haussmann's proposal.
Got the command.
Hausman coughed and said, "Obviously, the retreat of the Imperial Army is a very simple matter, as long as we grasp the enemy's weaknesses and play to our strengths, we can easily repel them. ”
"First of all, we need the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy. ”
Hausman pointed to the map and analyzed: "The number of Imperial troops exceeds one million, which means that their army is very bloated, and the bloated army is not only slow to move, but also overly dependent on supplies, and cutting off their supply lines is equivalent to killing them." ”
"Secondly. ”
Hausman continued: "The enemy has a large aviation corps and a high-level military team, and we have little chance of winning in a conventional battle, but here our home field, as long as we engage in urban warfare, it is equivalent to making the enemy's air force and mage regiment useless. Cutting off the enemy's arms will bring them to the same level. ”
"Finally. ”
Haussman put forward the third point: "The enemy will inevitably be irritated if he cannot attack for a long time, and at this time the news that our country is going to support you will inevitably shake the morale of the other side, and at the same time it will greatly boost the morale of our army." In addition, we have the support of civilians, 90% of the soldiers in the army are from civilian backgrounds, and it is not bad if the enemy wants to find out if they want to hide the soldiers, unless they give the order to slaughter the city, but the empire obviously cannot do this, this is simply the natural choice of guerrilla warfare. ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all felt that it made sense.
According to Haussmann's analysis, it seems that victory is imminent.
Haussmann didn't give them time to think, and asked directly: "May I ask you, which plan do you think is more appropriate?"
