Chapter 214: Steady and Steady

On the third day, the legions broke away from the state of revelry.

The time of the New Year has passed, and the next step is to get back on track, and the combat missions will be issued in waves.

The Council Hall of the Seth Kingdom, today's early dynasty content is the next combat operation that the troops will carry out after attacking the hinterland of the elves.

The ministers of the first military and political department and the first civil affairs department were the protagonists of today's early dynasty.

"Tell me all about it, I want to hear what you think about the next battle. Brun Seth waved his hand and said.

The first to stand up was the Minister of Military Affairs Augsge. Since His Majesty has inquired about military matters, as the head of the military and political affairs, he must stand up and speak first, and then the others can speak.

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to the joint study of the adults of our military and political staff and operations department, we believe that judging from the current situation, we should fight steadily and steadily, and not rush forward. Augsg said.

Brun Seth sat on the throne, tapped his fingers on the armrest of the throne, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Why did Aiqing say that? We have finally opened the tunnel of the Hengduan Mountain Range, shouldn't we be determined to forge ahead and actively attack to obtain greater results?"

"Your Majesty, you can't think so," said Augsig, "of course it is good to forge ahead, but it also depends on the current situation, and we still think that steady and steady progress is more suitable for the present situation of our army." ”

"Then tell me why you came to such a conclusion?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I can't explain this matter to you in detail, so let's ask Lord Cizema from our staff to answer for you in detail. ”

As the Minister of Military Affairs, Augsg has a lot of things to deal with every day, especially now that it is still wartime, and the documents reported every day are like snowflakes piled up on his desk.

Grassroots salesmen always know more than the boss in what they are responsible for.

"Alright, then ask Lord Cizema to explain to me why I am pursuing a conservative strategy. Is Mistress Cezema there?" asked Bren Seth with a nodding head.

Augsg retreated into the ranks of the ministers, and another minister reappeared in the ranks.

Chief of the Military and Political Staff, Duke of Cizema.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers are here. ”

Brun Seth stared at Cizema for a long time before he said, "Cizema, you're old. ”

Cizema smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister is already old, and I'm afraid he will soon be unable to do it." ”

Unlike the middle-aged military and political minister Augsge, Cizema was a very old minister, having served as chief of the military and political staff since the reign of the previous emperor, Cullen Seth.

Although Augsge's official position is larger, in terms of status, Cizema is much higher than Augsig.

"Cizema, you're finally admitting that you're going to be able to do it," Brun Seth sighed slightly, "you can't still resent me for not promoting you to Minister of War, are you?"

"Your Majesty is still so fond of jokes. Cizema smiled, "Augsg is more capable than me, and the minister is old and doesn't have as much energy as him." You don't know, looking at the fact that he has to deal with so many official documents every day, I am thinking, if I sat in his seat, I am afraid that I would be buried in the loess by now. ”

Augsig shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, tell me why you came up with an aggressive defensive strategy that you have to fight steadily?"

"Back to Your Majesty, our opinion is that in our current situation, an active defense strategy is the most suitable. After all, we have just opened the Hengduan Mountain Tunnel, and we should build an advance base at the exit of the tunnel, the fortifications must be built well and strong, and we also believe that at least two army corps should be stationed at the forward base. ”

"Two legions, isn't it a bit too much to put so many troops there?" said Bren Seth frowned. The two legions are stationed there with nothing to do, and they only patrol every day, and the combat strength of 200,000 people is equivalent to wasting it out of thin air, which is a very worthless thing.

Cizema shook her head again and again, and said very firmly: "No, the two legions stationed there are not many, but there are still a little few. Your Majesty, you must know that the Hengduan Mountain Tunnel is the only way for us to attack the hinterland of the elves, and it is also the only logistics channel for reinforcements and supplies. Once the mouth of the tunnel is captured by the elves, the best possibility is that they destroy the tunnel, leaving the few legions we sent in alone, in which case the lone army will soon be completely annihilated, and we will lose the only way to attack the elven hinterland. There is also the worst-case scenario - the elves use this passage as a springboard to send a large army to break through our defense line at the other end of the passage, and then drive straight into our human territory. This is something that none of the previous legions we have annihilated have done. ”

Hiss......

There was a gasp in the hall.

This possibility is really terrifying, if it is really like what Cizema said, the passage is occupied by the elves, then they will not just advance to the human race for more than two hundred miles and then stagnate like before. The Terran side of the Hengduan Mountains stretches for nearly a thousand miles into the territory of the Terrans, and the terrain is mostly mountains and hills, not plains. This is the favorite battle terrain of the elves, and the Terran cavalry cannot exert their combat effectiveness in this situation, and when it comes to infantry, no one among the ministers present will think that the Terran infantry can beat the elven infantry.

The reason for these current big victories, they are very clear, in each battle, the Terran side has an absolute superiority of troops, and then rely on the heavy cavalry to exert all their combat strength on the plain to open a gap, and finally close up and destroy the other party.

If it is said that the battle was won because of the difference in the quality of the soldiers between the two sides, it is simply impossible, and the quality of the soldiers of the elven race is several times better than that of the human race.

Brun Seth suddenly found himself carried away by the successive victories of the three, became aggressive and competitive, and pursued speed, if it weren't for this group of sober-minded ministers, the consequences would be unimaginable!
