After the first encounter, the Slavs realized that the opponent in front of them was a madman! After a night of tossing and turning in the camp of the Slavs, the Slavs would retreat 10 miles back, and in the morning, the fat man could see the empty wilderness, and some Slavic soldiers who remained in place were busy with something, and half a day later, some timber cut from the forest more than a dozen miles away was transported in a cart, and soon the fat man saw what it was.

Watchtower!

Looking at the simple buildings erected outside the city walls, the fat man was a little excited in his heart, these watchtowers built of wood are four to five meters high, and each watchtower is separated by a hundred meters, and 2 or 3 soldiers can be stationed on it, the Slavs have pulled up a low earthen wall between these watchtowers, which is completely better than nothing, only less than one meter of earthen walls, without any assistance, can be easily climbed, but there are several such earthen walls, which proves that the opponent's main target is cavalry

It seems that the Slavs were indeed a little frightened, and the construction of watchtowers for surveillance and alarm, and the construction of earthen walls to slow down the onslaught of cavalry, proved that the Slavs would not launch a large-scale offensive against the walls at least in the short term, otherwise these earthen walls would make them themselves feel troubled, "The plan is already halfway there!"

The fat man's eyes flickered, his hands held on to the cold battlements, his eyes looked into the distance, and the argument with Julilsford Castle ten days ago sounded in his mind, how to reduce his own casualties in the battle of the Slavs, and to keep the Slavs as capable as possible of a certain combat effectiveness, this kind of almost contradictory problem, has always been the core of the fat man's consideration, millions of Slavs are going south in hunger and cold, this pressure is imaginable for the northwest that bears the brunt,

That's a million people, even a million rats are enough for a fat man to jump on his feet, although he is well prepared. But if you hit too hard, all the millions of Slavs will be scared back, and the fat man will probably cry.

Since he couldn't fight too hard, the only way was to be scared, and when the fat man rushed to Julilsford, who was still recuperating from his injuries, and proposed this bold and almost absurd plan, Julilsford, who knew the Slavic temperament, shook his head on the spot and shook his head. It's absolutely impossible!

"I have been fighting with the Slavs for more than ten years, I know them, although they are poorly equipped, inferior in combat skills, and have no military theory to guide them, but it does not mean that they are fools, on the contrary, their bravery is very famous, and the Slavs are of the Northland race. There is never a shortage of warriors, and even in the face of a tenfold enemy, the nervous Slavs dare to launch a frontal charge. Intimidation is useless for them, and this time it is a million Slavs, among whom there are countless brave ones, who are scaring millions of people? What are you kidding!: "Actually, it should be explained that deterrence is better!" The fat man was unmoved. His gaze was condensed, and he touched his chin opposite Julietsford, and his eyes revealed great confidence. He smiled disapprovingly and said, "Believe it or not, I am sure that on the first day of the battle, I will make the Slavs feel that there is no hope of continuing to fight"

"How is this possible?" said Julilsfordburg, whose face was full of disbelief

The fat man said with certainty, "This is not difficult, we just need to make the Slavs on the opposite side have an illusion, that is, this mysterious long wall is impregnable, every step they take in the direction of the long wall, it will be a tragic disaster, we just want to tell the Slavs, if they really want to launch an attack on the long wall, it is impossible to let them cross without leaving hundreds of thousands of corpses, so let's go another way!"

"You want to take the initiative, right?" Julilsford's eyes flashed, after all, he was also a general on the Megatron side who had been fighting for many years, and he quickly guessed the fat man's inner plan,

He shook his head and said sharply again, "I don't build yì you do that, this is too risky, our army is limited after all, your army plus the fifth army I retreated, the total strength is about 150,000, if you defend with all your strength, it should be able to support until the cold winter comes, and when the time comes, the Slavs who find themselves desperate will naturally go back and venture through the barrier mountains that can lead to the hinterland of the empire, and wait for two months, I believe that it will be better!"

"Hehe, we can wait for two months, but I'm afraid your emperor won't!"

The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched slightly, "The news of the Slavs' large-scale southward movement will inevitably reach your emperor's ears soon, and when the time comes, he only needs to easily issue an order for you to take the initiative to meet the battle, and resist the enemy and the country, which is enough to destroy the defense line that you and I are currently building together!"

"This ......"

Julils Fort's face changed,

That's right, although the emperor is far away, but if the emperor really gives such an order, it will take at most a month to arrive here from Kyoto, and then will he abide by it or not? Obey, take the initiative to attack the Slavs of a million people with weak troops, isn't this just looking for death, if they don't obey, Kyoto can use the excuse of not obeying the order of His Majesty the Emperor, and easily uproot the Julils family from their old enemies!" "That's it! If you are worried, then I will be responsible for this matter!" The fat man stood up from opposite Fort Julilsford and walked out of the door of the room, since the return of the Fifth Legion, Fort Julilsford's temper began to become a little hesitant, no longer as decisive as before, or those who are faced with the choice of fate, will face such a wave!

After learning about the situation on the day of the first battle, Fort Julilsford was once again shaken, and no one ever thought that the war could have been fought in this way, and the essence of deterrence was not to frighten, but to deter.

The powerful defense that erupted from the long wall completely stunned the Slavs, and only if they could discourage the Slavs from continuing to march northwest, millions of Slavs would make a desperate bet and choose to cross the narrow corridor to the east and enter the hinterland of the Gallic Empire.

It was not a wilderness, but an alpine mountain area that served as a barrier to the empire, glaciers, snowy mountains, and underground rivers, which was simply a death zone, and the reason why the tired Slavs did not think about it was because they knew very well that once they entered this fast and narrow barrier mountainous area, the temperature would become extremely cold.

There is no food, no warm clothing, if the Long Wall cuts off their support in one fell swoop, and the front is blocked by the Gallic army, even if there are many people, they will only be trapped on the mountain, and the Slavs are not fools, and they are not hungry enough to plunge into the danger of inviting the king into the urn.

This stalemate lasted until the fourteenth day, when the snow finally fell in the sky, and winter came, and the temperature plummeted.

According to the reconnaissance report from outside the wall, there were a large number of dead people in the camp of the Slavs, and it was not known whether it was the plague or frozen to death, and the weather was already cold enough to form more than ten centimeters of ice on the battlements, hanging on them in rows, like inverted cones as crystal clear, "It's time for a showdown, send someone to have proper contact with the Slavs!" The fat man turned around from the brazier and said to Salons and Duo Xue behind him. Tell them, we're not interested in them, but we don't want to be eaten by them, so let's find another way, there's no way here!" (To be continued......)
