Chapter 115: Before the Battle (Ask for Recommendation! Ask for Subscription)

After listening to what Situ Jin said, all the officers in the big tent were very surprised. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Everyone didn't expect that Situ Jin would investigate the situation in Dikye's country before coming to the front line, and also devised a wedge between Dikye's monarch and ministers.

Although it is not clear whether Situ Jin's strategy has really taken effect, this one thing alone made many officers who had previously despised Situ Jin can't help but put away their contempt for Situ Jin and start to look at Situ Jin again.

Situ Jin glanced at everyone and said: "The method of using troops at the top level is not to use force to fight the enemy, but to compete in strategy!"

If this sentence is said in the world where Situ Jin lived in his previous life, I am afraid that few people will find it fresh, because this sentence is the specific meaning of the translation of the words "go to the army and fight and plot". However, there is no military book on the mainland of Ceylon that specifically explains the art of war, and everyone understands how to use soldiers entirely based on their own experience and talent, and has not formed a unified set of theories.

Immediately after that, I heard Situ Jin say again: "To recapture the city occupied by the enemy by force alone, not to mention the strength of the enemy and us, I am afraid that it will not be possible to do it in a year and a half in time! This is not the result that Your Majesty wants in the end, nor is it the result I want!"

After a pause, Situ Jin said again: "Don't think too highly of these four small countries, the strength of their union is indeed not to be underestimated, but when viewed separately, what are they worth? Even if these four small countries are now closely combined, in the final analysis, they belong to different countries, and they are completely opposed in many interests! So in the future, we must not only fight them, but also use our brains to divide them, and finally drive them out of the empire in one fell swoop!"

Since the war, everyone has always wanted to use force to repel the enemy, and no one has ever put forward the idea of dividing the four small countries with wisdom, so when they heard Situ Jin's words, many officers had a feeling that their minds had suddenly been opened.

In the eyes of the vast majority of soldiers, soldiers are in charge of leading soldiers to fight, and as for playing strategy, it is a politician's business, and it has nothing to do with them!

It can't be said that the soldiers on the mainland think so, at least those famous generals will not be so simple, thinking that fighting a war is only a matter of force, but there is still a big gap between ordinary officers and famous generals in terms of vision and perspective, so it can't be blamed that they didn't think of this layer.

Especially in the Yarrow Empire, there was a lack of excellent generals, and there was still a Chaplin in the empire before, and as soon as Chaplin died, the generals at the highest level were almost blank!

Few excellent generals are born to know how to lead troops to fight, most of them need to be trained and cultivated, and neither Situ Nan nor Chaplin are good at this, the two have controlled the imperial army for decades, and in the end they have not cultivated an excellent general!

Later, Robert ascended the throne as the emperor, and promoted some generals completely based on his personal proximity and preference, these people are not too old, but they can be regarded as injecting some fresh blood into the top of the army, but the problem is that these people have no experience in leading troops to fight at all.

In any case, after listening to Situ Jin's remarks just now, everyone's hearts were more or less less nervous than when they heard that the enemy army was coming, and many officers chewed Situ Jin's words carefully, and felt more and more that what they said made sense.

After all, the commander of the sixth division, Gragu, is a teacher, and he is better than others in terms of experience and vision, although he thinks that what Situ Jin said is very reasonable, but what Situ Jin said is empty words after all, and he didn't say how to do it specifically, which made him still a little uneasy, so he asked: "Commander, then according to what you said, how do you plan to divide them?"

"Well!" Situ Jin smiled and betrayed the pass: "Repel Bander's army first, I naturally have the next move! If I can't repel Bander, even what I say now is in vain!"

After speaking, without waiting for everyone to ask any more questions, Situ Jin said: "Okay, please go back now to boost morale, and make sure our soldiers realize that the enemy army is not so terrible, and after an hour, the divisions will bring troops to the city gate, and we will wait for the arrival of Bander's army in the open space outside the city!"

The officers looked at each other, and for a while, no one spoke, no matter how reasonable Situ Jin said, everyone still felt that going out so boldly was similar to sending them to death.

Situ Jin looked at Coronado and said, "Coronado, this war will be under your full command, and you will set up the formation according to the nine-turn round formation I told you before! I only have one request, that is, no matter what happens, the battle formation must not be chaotic!"

When Situ's words fell, Coronado was stunned: "Commander, isn't it up to you to personally command this war?"

Situ Jin shook his head: "I will watch this battle in the city, and if I find anything wrong, I will immediately send someone to tell you, you just have to rest assured that you can command!"

Hearing Situ Jin say this, the officers who had changed their views on Situ Jin in their hearts had an opinion on Situ Jin again, and after you said so much, in the end, it was not you who personally commanded it? If you lose the battle in the end, can you also put the responsibility for the defeat on Coronado?

Seeing everyone's expressions in his eyes, Situ Jin didn't say much, but just ordered everyone to hurry down and prepare.

Not long after everyone left, Capel, the chief of the eight magicians who came to the front line with Situ Jin, walked into Situ Jin's military tent from outside: "Vice President, I heard that the war is about to start, since you brought us here from the guild, you must also want us to contribute, what do you think we need to do?"

Capel is already in his forties, at least a decade older than Situ Jin, but the tone in which he talks to Situ Jin is quite respectful, this is the worldview of the strong, they are only willing to obey those who are stronger than them, as for age or something, they don't value it very much!

For Situ Jin's magic level, Capel had personally taught, so he was convinced by Situ Jin, and naturally showed due respect in his words, and Situ Jin is now the vice president of the Magic Guild, and his position level is also above him, so he is not unconvinced!
