337.Chapter 337: Great Fear
"The front has already gained the upper hand, and the tactics of throwing four Fathers are correct!"
Seeing that the situation on the front line was developing in his favor, Count Warren was a little elated. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info like the vast majority of officers and generals who were happy, excited, and felt that the victory was in hand. He was in a good mood now, and he no longer had the feeling of gaining and losing when he sent the Fathers to the front line before.
In the end, these efforts have not been in vain. The Fathers and Minor Fathers were in no way inferior to Hereford's White Legion in combat. Then, even if the enemy sends the main force forward, we can effectively fight back!
No...... Well...... No, maybe that's naïve.
If the enemy really wants to fight our army to the end, even if our army can win in the end, it will suffer heavy losses...... In such a situation, the preservation of one's own forces should be the highest priority. That is, just repel the opponent. ”
Thinking of this, Count Warren immediately changed his tactics.
"That's right, just repel the other party. Yes, drive them all back into the city, and then lock them down. Then, it's not my problem to win. ”
Thinking of this, Count Warren only felt a burst of relief - yes, it was not his own problem, he had already repelled the enemy army once, and then blockaded the enemy city. In this case, no one can blame themselves.
Of course, this will not lead to victory in the war. Because the enemy can still retreat from the sea, or get supplies and continue to hold on.
In this case, if you want to completely blockade the city, you have to see whether your own navy is strong.
In other words, the Visigothic and Asturian navies had to rush from the Caribbean to the east coast of the New World, and then compete with the main fleet of the Britons for sea supremacy on the outer line.
In this way, the pressure is on the kingdom's navy.
If they can win and blockade the port, then Count Warren can get a great victory. He would accept the surrender of the Hereford family, as well as the Normandy family of Briton. Then become the hero of the entire kingdom. It is not a problem to add officials to knighthood.
But if the kingdom's navy loses, don't be too discouraged, because all the responsibility lies with the navy. It was they who led to the defeat of tactics. If this battle, or even this war, is lost, Count Warren can also find a fat and large scapegoat, and then he can dress himself up as a victim to gain sympathy. No matter how bad it is, you can ensure that your original position, status and title remain unchanged.
I don't suffer inside and out.
Thinking of this, Count Warren was even more pleasant.
At the same time, William and Victoria were also talking about the situation at the front.
It looks like we're at a disadvantage. Victoria said.
But William had no intention of answering at all.
"I'm saying, we look like we're on the back foot—"
"Yes, in fact we are at a disadvantage. Before Victoria could question William why he didn't speak, William spoke. Victoria's words made Victoria feel very surprised, even angry.
"You are the commander, our army is at a disadvantage, you should find a way! Victoria's voice was a little bit louder.
"......" William did not speak, but looked at him, very calmly. Under such a gaze, Victoria, who was originally righteous, couldn't stand it at first. She tried to keep looking at William, but was unsuccessful.
She first looked away.
After that, Willian continued: "You should be able to understand my tactics. Victoria. Although you are not very good at military affairs. But seems to be very good at guessing riddles. Perhaps, you can think of my arrangement as a guessing puzzle. The puzzle is the current situation. The answer to the puzzle is the next outcome. Because it's a riddle, let's turn the corner. Don't give me a meaningless answer like one plus one equals two. ”
"-You. William's unkind words made Victoria very angry. However, she still couldn't get up in the end.
Maybe it's because this is the battlefield, William's home turf. Of course, there could be other reasons.
"So, the answer?"
After this, Victoria was silent for a moment, then a little surprised, then a little angry.
"Looks like you've already guessed it. William smiled: "The infantry regiment at the front is a decoy. They will fail as a matter of course. Or even a rout. But their rout was worth it. This will give us an advantage, and even win this war. ”
"You're using my army as bait?"
"Yes, but not 'your army'. William said: "We are a coalition army, and I am the supreme commander of the coalition army, so theoretically, it should be 'my army'." ”
"You guy—"
"-Are you really angry about this?" Before Victoria could question further, question, or even scold, William asked the question: "Breton, the most powerful kingdom of the Old World human kingdom, another Queen of Briton, do you really care about the loss of four, well, three infantry regiments?"
This time, Victoria didn't speak, but even if she didn't answer, the answer was obvious.
Victoria doesn't care.
Army.
weapons.
Money.
Victoria didn't care.
Because of these things, she wants as much as she wants.
"Yes, you don't care. William then said, "Since you don't care, then why are you still angry?" William thought as if he was asking himself, pretending to think: "Is it because of my deception? No, this can't be said to be deception, you said before, I am the commander of this coalition army." So it's all under my command. It's the same with both the Briton and the Russian army.
I used four infantry regiments as bait and threw them away. That's what I'm in charge of as well. You're not the kind of virgin to call you, and you're not the kind of unreasonable person, you understand the necessity of that. So I don't need to say more.
So, what are you angry about? I used 'your army' as bait instead of 'my army' as bait? Are you angry or do you think I've cheated you?
Not to mention it.
First of all, you should understand that your army is better suited to be bait, because your army is weaker, less valuable, and more valuable as a 'bait'.
Second, even if you really think I'm faking the public and helping the public, you won't care too much. With your personality, you should continue to be on top. Then they haughtily despised me, and then they laughed at me for fiddling with these little calculations and tricks for the sake of this little bit of chicken. In your opinion, it's almost like a harlequin show of burlesque, so funny, you can even pity me, not feel angry. ”
Speaking of which, William seems to have completely taken the initiative in this conversation: "So, why are you angry?"
Victoria glared at William, "Okay, let's stop here." The battlefield still needs you to command—"
"- No, no. I don't need any command, until those baits are depleted. I don't need any command, so I can say boring things in front of you as much as I want to make myself a little happier -- like, oh, yes, I remember, are you angry because of that?"
"Enough, are you trying to humiliate me?
"It's not humiliating. ”
"Then shut up. ”
"But if I don't say it, I feel uncomfortable. With that, William stepped forward and approached Victoria. Too close, too close. That's enough distance for both sides to smell their breath.
Because of the distance, neither William nor Victoria's generals heard what was being said. But at the same time, they saw William's smile and Victoria's angry face...... This made them hesitate to step forward.
But in the end, everyone chose not to go. Wise to protect yourself.
Regarding the relationship between William and Victoria, it was not only Elise who was suspicious, in fact, everyone present felt that there was a leg between them.
It was precisely on the basis of this misunderstanding that they all chose to turn a blind eye - although they were very dissatisfied with the two of them messing around on the battlefield. But breaking through the secret affairs of the big man or something has always been the best means of death. No one wants to live with their lives, so no one comes forward.
"You-" Victoria tried to back away and distance herself from William, but before that, William reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"What do you want to do?" Victoria blushed for a moment, she never thought that William would dare to "bully" herself in this way. To make matters worse, his vague attempt to "seduce" William before this seems to have been known by too many people, so they misunderstood their relationship, so that in this case, no one came to save him.
"I just have something I want to say to you. William looked at her calmly and said, "That is, you are angry because you are afraid - yes, you are afraid, you are afraid because of your ignorance. You find out that one of the bad things is that you don't have talent, you don't have military talent. You're inferior to me at this point. You're scared, you're worried, you're even shy, because you've always thought I'm inferior to you, you're better than me. However, this is not the case. ”
