Chapter 619: Vytautas' Enlightenment
Vytautas bit his thumb, his face was expressionless, and he forced his composure, but his heart was full of anxiety.
What are the people of Schönbrunn doing? Could it be to stall for time and attract attention?
So what is the purpose of delaying time? Could it be that another force will come out of somewhere else and suddenly attack?
He turned and looked around, but there was no sign of the attacker anywhere.
The Beran people are not stupid, nearby bushes and other places where the enemy can hide have already been cleared, and if the enemy wants to surprise him, he will be found two hundred meters away, and there is a lot of time to react.
As a result, he was anxious for a long time in vain, but nothing happened.
The group of soldiers really slowly retreated, returned to the army, and then did not move.
Luo Ming sat on the high platform, looking indifferent, staring at the Belan defense line, his face full of senselessness and disdain.
“...... What the hell are they doing, could it be that they don't do anything?" Vytautas muttered a little depressed.
Just as he was muttering the last sentence to himself, an electric current appeared, shaking his nerves.
"That's it! Nothing!" he growled, a shocked expression.
Several of the guards around him looked at him worriedly, and he hurriedly smiled to indicate that he was fine, and then continued to bury his head in thought.
That's right, Luo Ming's tactics are not only inactive, but he can't even see that he wants to win, and even if he wants to fight a big battle, he is not willing to fight.
It's like a spoiled lazy cat, after eating big fish and meat, when he sees a mouse, he just stretches out his slap and pats it, without the slightest desire to prey, just pretending in front of others.
Vytautas suddenly realized: Luo Ming was just a temptation this time, and he didn't even pay much attention to the temptation, just pretending.
Even if Luo Ming doesn't take the initiative to attack and break through this layer of defense, he probably still has a lot of benefits to gain by shrinking into Carlo Mountain, and really breaking the defense line may damage his interests...... That's right, that's it, it makes sense!
Vytautas was thrilled for a few seconds to figure it out, but he quickly came to his senses and discovered the deeper mystery behind it.
Even if he guessed this, he wouldn't be able to interfere with Luo Ming, and he wouldn't be able to affect Luo Ming's interests at all.
Before the battle, Luo Ming had already locked in a "victory" in advance, and I am afraid that the benefits in this are greater than the war dividends that can be obtained after a quick victory!
Some superficial people always think that victory and defeat can only be determined on the battlefield, but Vytautas does not think so.
No matter what the benefits Luo Ming can get, it will definitely further enhance his strength, and now Luo Ming is already invincible, and if he further strengthens it, it will be difficult for his side to even fight a draw.
“...... Hey, it's okay, I didn't think I could win in the first place, and I was prepared for a draw or even to make sure I didn't lose so badly. Vytautas smiled wryly and regained his confidence.
This preparation includes both psychological preparation and material preparation, and with such preparation, he has more confidence.
If you don't expect too much, you won't be disappointed.
In terms of the big picture, it is definitely impossible to win, and it is not easy to maintain a decent draw.
But what if you ignore the overall situation, or even sell the overall situation to complete the small situation, and harm the public and private interests?
Vytautas's eyes lit up, and in front of him, it was as if a large door had appeared, and countless sins were written in blood, but the brilliance of gold shone through the cracks in the door.
"Now that is all this, what else do I have to worry about?" he smiled, and without hesitation pushed the door open.
Speaking of which, this is also to ask the Viscount Meiquan on the other side to learn, and he silently thanked Luo Ming in his heart.
With Luo Ming's strength, it is actually possible to forcibly break through this line of defense, and then expel the forces of the Berans from Vanchyshire, or even further lead the army out of Vanchy County to support the main battlefield, which will definitely become a variable in the whole war, although it is not big, but it is better than nothing.
And Luo Ming refused to do this, but shrank in Kalo Mountain to seek some kind of profit, if it is more strict, is it not another manifestation of "ignoring the overall situation" and "damaging the public and private"?
I heard that Viscount Meiquan was a nobleman who came to Lothar from abroad, but in fact I am similar myself. Vytautas sighed to himself.
"In this way, in fact, we are all outsiders, we are just involved in this war, or actively involved to seek benefits, once there are interests, we can also be neutral......
Oh yes, yes, maybe we have some common language!"
Thinking of this, a big smile appeared on Vytautas's face.
Soon, he hid the extra smile in his heart, then turned away, and in a confident and optimistic tone, began to encourage the frustrated soldiers with a gulp of words.
I have to say, his language skills are really good. Ordinary soldiers, whether they were Belans or local cannon fodder in Van Shei, looked at the young temporary commander-in-chief, and they all recovered their morale a little.
Even a small part of them were completely instigated by him, and began to cheer as "a successful defensive battle that forced the enemy back, which proved that our line of defense was impregnable."
And most of the officers and military leaders also watched this scene and felt a little better - in any case, it is a good thing to boost morale, and as for whether this is a trick to the soldiers to send them to death, it has little to do with their high-level officials.
But Williser felt a chill in his back inexplicably, but he had been grazed by lead bullet during the sortie just now, and now he was treating the wound, and the doctor was removing the lead bullet and the fragments of armor from his wound, the process was very painful, so he didn't care about this little premonition.
He was even secretly glad that Vytautas did not seize the opportunity of his defeat to attack his prestige, but he didn't know that Vytautas was even darker and was thinking about more excessive things.
By the way, saying that Luo Ming didn't do anything here also wronged him.
While the small army in front went out and fired indiscriminately, the large force behind was not idle—about two-thirds of them had begun to work.
Some of them started digging pits and mounds of earth, as if they wanted to compete with the other side to see who was more efficient, while others removed timber and other materials from the wagons and built an additional layer of wooden fences on the earthen walls.
After the small units returned, the work of the large units had already begun to bear fruit.
