"Therefore, the enemy we are facing is a strong fortress, a well-trained elite army of more than 50,000 men, and a commander who is old and serious, and who will not go out of the city to fight. Inside the tent, General Jetton gestured to the map on the table.

He had been talking for a long time, and he drank a large glass of cold water and looked at the generals sitting in front of him, with medals pinned to their chests.

"Everyone is an old acquaintance, there is nothing to hide, just say what you think. ”

This is the battle meeting of the vanguard of the entire Northern Army, and the entire big tent is full of stars, and it can be said that the talents who are proficient in military affairs in the entire northern territory are gathered here today.

"It's hard to gnaw, it's a hard bone. ”

"You should still be cautious, a rash attack will only damage the troops, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Yes, yes, the art of war has clouds to attack it five times and surround it ten times. A fortified city like this, with high morale and strong will, cannot be conquered by more than ten times the force. ”

"What I hate the most is this kind of siege warfare, which is to use the lives of the warriors to exhaust the enemy's wrongness, and the city is also captured. It's like a meat grinder, it's too tragic. ”

"But it's not, what's more, our mistakes are not much more than the enemy's, and in a siege war like this, the general battle loss ratio is three to one or even more, how can we consume it? Before the enemy army is exhausted, our army will collapse directly. ”

"Buzzing", the generals all discussed with each other, and almost all of them were not optimistic about this operation, and there were too many unfavorable factors.

"I'd like to interrupt you here, according to our intelligence, the enemy has gathered a large number of young men in the city. As far as I can judge, they are determined to defend the city if the battle is unfavorable, so that the enemy will have more strength than we estimated. General Jetton poured cold water on everyone again.

"What about the grain stored in the city? There are so many people in the city, and people eat what horses chew, if there is not enough food, it will cause civil strife, and this is our chance. A general immediately mentioned it.

"Unfortunately, there is a lot of food stored in this city, and it is unlikely that this will be used to consume them. Moreover, it is not easy for us to supply food and grass, although we have collected some along the way, we must not rob the civilians of their rations. If we can't conquer Shining City for a long time, we will have to withdraw our troops. ”

"That's a fart!", the reckless general scolded directly, "What is there to fight in this kind of siege warfare with no chance of winning? ”

"It is impossible to detour, Guangyao City is the gateway of Shenghui City, the two cities are each other's horns, if we bypass Guangyao City to attack Shenghui City, and when the battle is fierce, Yaocheng sends troops to cut off our retreat, then what should we do? ", retorted to the old and serious general.

"You can't be an enemy, you can only outwit it. I've heard that a few days ago, some rebels took refuge in our north, and if they could act as an internal agent in Shining City? When our army and the enemy are engaged in a fierce battle, they will create civil strife, and take the city in one fell swoop with the cooperation of the inside and the outside?" another general mentioned.

General Jetton shook his head, "I have thought of this idea a long time ago, and now the entire Shining City is under a strict ban, and we can neither enter nor exit, even if there is an internal response, we will not be able to contact us." ”

"Since ancient times, there have been only a few ways to attack a city: fire and flooding, digging tunnels, and building ladders. This Shining City is close to the Shenghui River, can we block the upstream and besiege the city by flooding?"

"What's the use of relying on the amount of water in Shenghui City alone? Now that the middle of winter has just passed, and it has not yet reached the spring rainy season, how can it rain heavily?", other experienced generals did not agree.

"The method of fire attack is even more impossible, this place is close to the Shenghui River, you can take as much water as you want. ”

"The so-called ladder is piled up with the corpses of the soldiers, and there is no need to think about it, we can't afford it at all. ”

"What about tunnels? That's a way to think about it. ”

"It's just that the commander of the enemy army is a cautious man, and it is possible that he will consider this move. At that time, if we are detected by the enemy when we are digging the tunnel, and we cover up from the tunnel, we will really be unable to resist and will be defeated. ", said General Liston, who had studied General Villeneuve of the Northern Corps.

"This is not good, that is not good, what should I do?", the generals discussed and discussed, but they could not find a good way.

General Jetton also frowned, and he had been so worried these days that he had not been able to sleep at night. Excessive thinking made the wrinkles on his forehead deepen, and he wanted to gather all the generals to discuss and find a way to break the situation, but so far, everyone is still helpless.

"Hey, it can't be helped, there are too many disadvantages in this battle, and if you want to win, unless the coach on the other side is a chick who doesn't know anything, or a fool, how is this possible. ", General Jetton thought to himself.

"What's the point of fighting such a defeated battle? It's just a waste of the lives of the soldiers, and I advocate not fighting, waiting for the arrival of the army behind. Some generals directly mentioned it.

"But if we blindly wait for the army to gather in the rear, the strategic advantage and advantage we have gained by our sudden attack will no longer exist. The strategy set before the expedition was to shoot the man first and the horse first, capture the thief and capture the king first, and go straight to Shenghui City. Taking advantage of the time when the city guards suppressed the rebellion, they directly defeated Shenghui City and decided the situation in one fell swoop. ”

"But if we are stuck in Shining City, this strategy will not be able to be executed. What's more, even if a large army arrives in the rear, the Violet royal family will increase its army, and our disadvantage will not be changed, but will lose the initiative in the war more and more over time. There are also generals who disagree.

"Although we don't think about winning, we think about defeat first. But this time we can only win, not lose, and there is no way out. I suggest that you try all kinds of methods and gamble on it! The fate of the north is here!"

"Ridiculous! Is war a gamble? Is the life of tens of thousands of soldiers just the dice in your hand? What if you lose the gamble?"

"So-and-so should apologize with death!"

"You're sorry for your death, you're going to die, but what about the surviving warriors? What about the Reinhardt? What about the North?"

Several generals argued, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and they saw that the fight was about to start. General Jeton frowned, trying to stop them.

I only heard a soft voice in the corner of the military tent: "I take the glorious city, like a bag to get something." ”
