Chapter 849: Unfamiliar Territory
Empire, Immortal City.
Erdir Nolan stood on the tower and watched as Foster led his army on the march.
Originally, he also wanted to go with the army.
But his body no longer supports him to go to the battlefield in person, and as the head of state, he must also stay in the Immortal City to buy time for Foster.
At the same time, for him, he has done everything he can do.
In the end, whether Forster won or lost, he had to be sent to the gallows, because this was the consequence of the forced suppression of civilians and the army, and he had to give an account to the whole country.
So the next thing to look at is only Foster's performance.
And this kind of PUBG game, Eldier unilaterally believes that Foster can handle it.
It makes sense of common sense.
Foster is indeed very good at handling this situation, especially pulling the Jialan army into a frontal battle, even if they are demoralized, Foster is sure to defeat the Jialan army with the elite troops of the empire.
Because morale can be remedied.
As long as they can achieve a huge advantage, the overwhelming Jialan army will not be able to raise its head, then the successive victories can make the soldiers forget everything for a while and concentrate on fighting valiantly to defeat the enemy.
Vega certainly knows this.
He clearly knows that once the enemy snowballs, then unless the war is used, there is no way to reverse the rhythm of the war, which is the principle that the frontal battle will be forcibly turned into a five-five open.
Vega didn't want to bet on the other party.
So he made a decision that Foster didn't expect-
Avoid the war!
Foster looked at the city of Sylla, with its gates closed, and the dense garrison on the towers, and he almost gritted his teeth in anger, and at the same time, a sense of powerlessness made him despair.
They didn't count it.
The Jialan Army, which was originally impatient, was a quick attack, and a sneak attack around the rear, was actually not in a hurry at this time, seeing that they took the initiative to seek war, and if they didn't accept the offer, they just forgot it, and actually played the drama of refusing to defend the city.
I really didn't expect it.
After all, everyone knows that Jialanguo is in a hurry, and it stands to reason that everyone will have a decisive battle and finally decide whether you die or I live, which is the most problematic thing, but the menacing Jialanguo did the opposite.
"Since you want to drag it, then we can't drag it out first. ”
In the end, Foster did not attack, because there would be a terrible price to pay for a siege battle. And once the attack is repeated, the soldiers will have a negative psychology, which will accelerate the rebound due to high-pressure policies.
Therefore, Foster did not dare to look for a siege battle.
His final choice was to be patient with Vegabi.
Vega's line of death is clear, and after the snow melts in the coming year, Vega will inevitably retreat.
And their line of death is not clear, it may collapse in the next second, or it may not have any problems for two or three months.
In other words, it's still a race against time.
Whoever can hold on longer will be able to win this war.
But Vega's move did have a slight impact on the Imperial Army, and they suffered a loss first.
Because of one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion, they came with great momentum and wanted to fight a war, but in the end they found that the enemy who originally wanted to fight a decisive battle with them was now cowardly, like a fist hitting cotton, and this sense of aggrieved contrast will of course shroud the whole army in a layer of haze.
"Your Excellency, it's up to you now. ”
Foster turned back to camp as he looked in the direction of the imperial capital.
The army is there, and he is confident that he will be able to hold the army down for several months without collapsing.
But the imperial capital is different, the mood of the civilians seems to have reached a critical point, some small rebel groups have revived, and if there is any mistake, it will directly cause a chain reaction and affect the army here.
So the stability of the rear became the key point of this war.
If the rear is stable for two months, it will win without a fight, and if the rear is unstable, the front line will inevitably collapse without a fight.
This time, Foster felt the pressure like never before.
Because he had never fought a war like this that was beyond the battlefield.
In previous wars, whoever had the strongest army, the largest number of troops, and the more sophisticated means would have been able to win the war, but this war is obviously different from the past.
No real knives and guns are required.
There is not a single smoke of gunpowder.
Even the war did not start.
But Foster knew that the real war had begun, and it had already entered the white heat.
This kind of completely immortal war can actually become the final decisive battle that will determine the fate of the empire, and if someone had told him that there is such a war before, then he would probably scornfully laugh at the other party's whimsy.
But I realized it after experiencing it myself.
A war without the smoke of gunpowder may be countless times more dangerous than a war with the smoke of gunpowder.
————
Build on your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.
This is the way Vega is used to fighting.
It cannot be said that the enemy is coming violently, forcibly pulling the probability of victory from 19 to 55, he obediently fights the opposite side, and then turns the final victory into a coin toss, and let the heavens decide the victory.
He didn't want to suffer such a big loss.
Therefore, he finally chose to refuse the city and defend it, competing with the other party to see who would collapse first, and also to avoid his own shortcomings.
The Imperial Army had millions of troops, and there were countless air formations.
Once the frontal battle is started, excluding the one-time factor of the type of war, the advantage on his side is only that Thea's star elemental mage is stronger than the imperial army, but this is definitely far from enough.
Therefore, Vega chose to draw the enemy into a war without gunpowder, simply holding out longer than anyone else.
This is directly on the same level as the Empire, as long as there is no real battle, those so-called advantages of the Empire will no longer exist.
That's right.
The Imperial Shield, the city of Sylla, has five crystal hubs for air defense, walls strong enough to withstand the magic of the upper ranks, as well as the fortifications and resources that have been preserved......
As long as they defend, if the empire dares to attack, it will speed up its own collapse, and the last empire will inevitably collapse first before taking the city of Silla.
At such times, the number of troops has become a burden.
Because the more the number, the faster the rebound.
Most importantly.
Vega knew that Foster was good at fighting miracles in evenly matched, especially in desperate situations, but if he was pulled into a completely unfamiliar military realm, would he still be able to use his strength?
The current situation is completely unfamiliar territory for Foster.
If Foster thinks that this game is just a matter of luck and who will make it to the end, then he is obviously very wrong. In this kind of war without gunpowder, the real way to win is not to let luck decide the victory.
Its real way of winning is still psychological warfare that kills people without seeing blood.
And psychological warfare.
Foster didn't know anything.
