Chapter 306: Convicted
Hide from the world.
This is the first of the 36 plans, concealing the sky is only a means, and crossing the sea is the ultimate goal, these 4-character metaphors use lies and camouflage to hide their true intentions from the enemy, but secretly act secretly.
First hand over the drop letter.
This is to create the illusion of a desire for peace and to lower the Kingdom's vigilance.
Imagine that the dynastic army is now embattled and ambushed on all sides, coupled with the fact that there are no reinforcements, no supplies, and even the meaning of war, it is no exaggeration to say that in addition to surrender, it is a dead word.
Therefore, as long as the normal mind will think that the imperial army will definitely surrender, and no one will doubt the reliability of this surrender letter.
Besides.
Open the 4 gates and place the war airship outside the gates, exposing all your actions to the sun, this is also to remove the last scruples of the kingdom. As the victorious nation, Vega gambled that they would not re-attack an unarmed opponent before the surrender ceremony.
When the enemy has completely let down his vigilance.
Vega suddenly launched an attack on the eve of the surrender, when the enemy was at its most swollen and would even celebrate the victory in advance. The use of such unexpected means is not guaranteed, but at least it can achieve the effect of surprise and maximize the chance of victory.
And none of the generals here are fools.
When Vega said this, of course they understood that although they did not dare to guarantee that they would be able to break through in this way, they could be prepared for an unprepared attack and increase the success rate of this breakthrough to the maximum.
Need to know.
Before Vega said the last word, even they thought that Vega was preparing to surrender, this way of deceiving even their own people, let alone the kingdom troops with dark eyes?
Therefore, the dynastic army began to cooperate with the actions of Vega.
Later that evening, Callison sent a letter of surrender to the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom Army, Tenniel Reinberg.
"Hahaha. ”
Tenniel opened the meeting with a loud laugh: "Colleagues, everything is as General Ingrid expected, the dynasty and the imperial army are unable to support and are ready to surrender. ”
"This time, it didn't take a single soldier to pull out the last nail. ”
"General Ingrid's hand is besieging and not attacking. ”
"It seems that in five days, the situation in the east will be completely stable, and our army will not need to add more casualties. ”
“......”
The people did not doubt the reliability of this surrender letter at all, and there was no precedent for Jialan's war to surrender, so they all praised Ingrid to the fullest, and they were able to force the dynasty to surrender in such a bloodless way, at least allowing them to reduce the loss of half of the army's troops.
But at this moment.
A staff officer in his 20s with the rank of lieutenant colonel asked a question: "Your Excellency, is there any fraud in this?"
"Hahaha-"
He was answered by a room full of laughter, and a major general's staff officer looked at the young staff officer with caring eyes for the mentally handicapped and said, "Since you said that there was fraud, please tell me what is the reason for the fraudulent surrender of the dynasty army? Is it for the ridiculous faith and oath?"
The young staff officer was speechless.
"Quiet, quiet. ”
The commander-in-chief, Tenniel, stopped everyone from shelling the young staff officer: "Today is a big day, this matter that is a foregone conclusion should not be discussed anymore, tonight I will hold a banquet to share the results of the battle, please drink heartily." ”
A banquet was held at the top of the kingdom.
The generals completely relieved the sense of urgency of the war, and even Ingrid picked up his wine glass and drank it with emotion.
But in the midst of this shared joy, the young staff officer suggested to Tennier at an inopportune time: "Your Excellency, although the dynasty has already handed over the letter of surrender, but after the official ceremony is five days, should our army maintain a basic sense of vigilance, if the dynasty attacks our army at this time, it will definitely suffer heavy losses." ”
"Lieutenant Colonel, step down for me!"
The chief of staff saw that his subordinates were so ignorant, he forgot it the previous time, but this time he couldn't help but stand up and stop it directly, his face was a little embarrassed, after all, it was his subordinates who didn't look at the atmosphere.
"Out of the way, out of the way. ”
Commander-in-Chief Tenniel made a round: "Lieutenant Colonel, this is a performance of conscientiousness, maybe the dynasty army is really just a fraudulent surrender, hahaha." ”
At the end of the day, even Tenniel himself was amused by his words.
So there was laughter at the banquet.
But at this time, the scouts rushed into the banquet: "The front line is urgent, and the dynasty army has a new move." ”
Whoop -
The lively banquet fell silent, and everyone was startled by the scout, and at the same time looked at the young staff officer, and they couldn't help but think in their hearts whether they should be hit by this crow's mouth.
"What's going on at the front?"
Hearing the eager tones of several generals, the scouts did not dare to slack off: "Suddenly, the four gates of Tully City were opened, and all the enemy's aviation units rose into the air and landed in the open space outside the city. ”
"Is there an attack from enemy troops?"
"Not really, but ......"
The first half of the scout's sentence made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and the second half of the sentence made everyone lift their hearts.
However, the third sentence of the scout reassured them again: "But the royal army only carried out night training around the city with weapons, and did not have any intention of attacking, and the trained troops did not exceed two regiments. ”
"Any other information?"
"Report to the generals, these are the only movements of the enemy army. ”
Waiting for the scouts to leave the banquet, Tenniel raised his glass again and smiled awkwardly: "Hahaha, look at your nervousness, the Dynasty Army is just expressing its determination and sincerity to surrender to us, don't make a fuss." ”
Although he said so, the cold sweat on his forehead betrayed Tennier's nervousness.
However, the other generals were not much better, they were all frightened enough by the young staff officers and scouts, but it was this "wolf" that made them from top to bottom convinced of the sincerity of the surrender of the imperial army.
As for the young staff officer who doesn't know how to see?
The only discordant voice, unfortunately, has been assigned to the frontier by the chief of staff.
In addition, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the command of the royal army does not control public opinion, so the news of the imperial army's immediate surrender has spread throughout the army, and the gossip at the banquet is even known through the mouth of the scouts.
This time, from top to bottom, everyone let their guard down.
They were even surprised by the dynasty's daily increase in training troops, and even greeted the occasional dynastic soldiers passing by, after all, the tense nerves were relaxed, and no one did not yearn for peace.
This harmonious atmosphere lasted until the evening of the 4th day.
On this night, the kingdom held another banquet to make up for the regret that the previous banquet was almost broken up by the young staff officers and scouts, and tomorrow was the surrender ceremony, and there was nothing to worry about.
For the sake of this banquet, the chief of staff even ordered the scouts to be prevented from entering.
This is still the case at the top, let alone the low-level soldiers.
The soldiers in charge of the night vigil have already begun to gather to gamble, and there is not a single war airship patrolling, and there is no one to supervise it anyway.
And it was precisely at 00:00 in the morning when the banquet reached its climax.
Vega began to order the magicians to secretly board the magic airship parked outside the 4 city gates, and the main force was all assembled and broke through in the direction of the north gate.
Vega did not know if the war would be won.
But what he should have done has been done, and whether he can succeed depends on whether the Kingdom Army has given up its vigilance from top to bottom.
