Chapter 597: Change of Strategy
"That's right, it's that unit!" White had just fought the team, and it was easy to identify them.
"Maybe the eldest prince thinks he has won the battle, and there is no need to take this tired army with him, so he left them behind?" White shook his head, trying to guess the purpose of the eldest prince's move.
"If there is no clear military purpose, why should the eldest prince stay here, wouldn't it be better to let them go into the city to rest, and if so, then what is it?" The eldest prince's move was really a bit strange, which made Li Zijun lose his mind all of a sudden, and unconsciously fell into contemplation.
"Smack!" Just as Li Zijun's eyebrows were tightened, White suddenly gave him a hard slap.
"Why are you hitting me?" Li Zijun was startled by this slap, and he couldn't help but immediately glared at White.
Every time I'm like you, my father's slap reminds me of something. How's that, does this work for you?"
Looking at the hippie smiling White, Li Zijun couldn't cry or laugh, if it weren't for his body at the moment, he would definitely push this guy to the ground, give him an 'old fist', and beat him into a pig's head!
'The slap is suitable for a pig's head!' Thinking of this, Li Zijun suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind:
At this time, the eldest prince had only one goal: that is, to rush into the palace and occupy it as much as possible! It was absolutely impossible for him to put the cart before the horse and set up an ambush here! In that case, why should he bother with the other intentions of the eldest prince!
In the face of the pig's head, you should slap it down with a hard palm! It's that simple!
Thinking about this, Li Zijun nodded slightly.
"Uncle. Do you want to make meritorious contributions and make great contributions?" Li Zijun looked at White and asked with a smile.
"I don't want to!" to the surprise of Li Zijun and Catherine, in response to this question. White gave a negative answer without even thinking about it.
"Why?" Li Zijun and Catherine couldn't help but be a little confused.
"I've known since I was a kid that if I hit someone, you can't ask for any benefit that they promise you! Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm going to be out of luck!" White seems to have a lot of experience in this area, and he has always had a 'strict guard' attitude towards Li Zijun's temptation.
"That's someone else, who am I? I'm your brother-in-law! If I make you unlucky, then when I get home, Winnie will have to make me unlucky!"
"Big brother. You really want to think too much!" Li Zijun didn't expect White to be so wary of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and waved his hand to him.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
"Then tell me, how did you make me make a great contribution?" Facing Li Zijun's 'sincere' eyes, White was finally moved.
"This is your great achievement!" Li Zijun pointed to Blanche in the distance, looked at White and said solemnly.
"What do you mean?"
"Change the previous strategy, we will attack them directly!"
"Isn't that a bit too risky?"
"I'll admit they're a tired army, but as you can see, they've not only taken advantage of the terrain, they've built some fortifications on it. These will give us an offense. Cause great trouble!"
"Also, the sentinels at the head of the city, they will surely spot us and report to Blanche before we attack, and this will be a certain amount of time. It will inevitably weaken the suddenness of our attack!"
"What worries me the most is the strength we have. That's too little!"
"Excluding the sergeants we had to keep behind to keep our prisoners, we could muster up at most 2,000 soldiers. That's less than half of the total number of Blanche's team!"
"It's no better than last night, and they can basically tell at a glance what we're really good at. ”
"The eldest prince is also a battle-hardened warrior. He could not have left enough reserves in the city to deal with the chaos that might ensue. ”
"Even if we defeat Blanche's army, in case the city's reserves go out to help. At that time, more than 2,000 of us may not even have a chance to escape!" Seeing that Li Zijun was serious, White also put away his playful expression and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides very rigorously.
"All of this is true, but I only ask you the same: if you were now in the position of the Grand Prince, would you abandon the assault on the palace just because an army of 10,000 men from the Northern Legion appeared outside the city?"
"No!" White sighed slightly, looked at Li Zijun and shook his head.
"Ed, you mentioned that you personally scouted before, did you have such a plan at that time?"
"At that time, I thought we needed to attack Filano directly. I really didn't expect that the eldest prince would leave us such a 'big gift'!"
"As long as we can defeat Blanche's troops, even if the eldest prince does not withdraw his troops immediately, the offensive in his city will be affected to a certain extent, and the pressure on His Majesty's side will be lighter!"
"I didn't expect you to think like that!"
"But what if we don't have to wait to defeat Blanche and send troops to help from within the city?"
"I'll do my best to avoid this possibility, but it's a big gamble, and if we win, it's all right, but if we lose, we won't have a future!"
"Big brother, how is it, would you like to gamble with me?"
"Ed, you're mistaken! The protagonist of this gamble can only be me, and your task is only to wave the flag and shout at me!"
"Don't talk nonsense with me! Okay, I'll charge if you come up with an idea; no, let's get out of here!"
"Big brother!" Hearing White say this, Li Zijun couldn't help but be a little excited.
"You don't have to be so sorry, I promise that as long as you win the bet, you won't lose your benefits. Who made me your eldest brother?!" White looked at Li Zijun and smiled slightly, and stretched out his right hand to him.
In the face of such a relative, what else could Li Zijun say? He stretched out his hand and shook White tightly!
"I have a way, maybe I can temporarily confuse the sentinels at the head of the city, and buy us more time to get closer to Blanche!" After hearing Li Zijun's idea of preparing to attack Blanche, Stuta was slightly stunned at first, and then a slightly meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"You approve of the plan?" White thought that Stutta, if not against it, would begin by explaining some of the difficulties, as he had done before. He really didn't expect Stuta to be in a state of preparation so quickly.
"Why don't I agree?! You must know that this is definitely a good opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the eldest prince and avenge the young master!"
"But we only have such a small number of troops, and they haven't rested all night, don't you think it's risky to go into battle with such an army?" White said not because he wanted to back down, but because he wanted to figure out: where did Stutta's confidence come from?
"If you don't take a little risk, how can you have a big harvest?!"
"What's more, this battle is actually not as dangerous as we imagined!"
"General, don't frown yet, you might as well think about it: three or four times their strength has been defeated by us, and now they are just such a small number, why should we care too much?!"
"They're more than twice as many as us!"
"So what? After all, they're just our losers! If they were given a little more time, they might be able to readjust their mentality and fight us, but now, I promise they'll see that the first thought we have on their minds is 'run away'! they're already vulnerable to us!"
"What about the sentinels and defenders of the city?"
"I've just collected quite a few of our opponent's costumes on the battlefield, and they should all come in handy in a moment!"
"When will you kid get rid of your 'thief doesn't go empty' bandit nature?!" Looking at Stutta's slightly embarrassed smile, Li Zijun couldn't help but point at him and scolded with a smile.
"Are you going to have our people dressed up like them? Will this work?" White was still a little skeptical of Stutta's construction.
"I'll know if it's okay until we try!, I believe that if we just spread out and make ourselves a little bit more embarrassed, we should be able to delay for a while. ”
"What about the defenders of the city, what if they go out to Blanche's aid?"
"I guess they won't!" Felton, who had been thinking about the whole plan on the sidelines, finally spoke as Stuta was speechless.
"At least they won't be out of town until Blanche completely collapses!"
"Why is that?"
"Because of His Royal Highness the Great Prince!"
"To put it simply, for whatever reason, the most fundamental reason why the Grand Prince left Blanche and her troops outside the city was because he didn't believe that there would be enough enemies outside the city to threaten Blanche's safety!"
"Based on this judgment, before the eldest prince leads his troops to break through, what will he say to the defenders of the West Gate?"
"Stick to the gates, keep an eye on the city, and don't act rashly! he will neglect to take care of Blanche intentionally or unintentionally, and this is our chance!"
"I fully agree with Stutta's plan, and on that basis, I hope we don't waste the uniforms that the Northern Legion has taken off!" said Felton, pausing for a moment, and suddenly smiled as he looked at the crowd.
"General White, if you were the Simon Guard, how would you react when you found out that our cavalry was attacking Princess Blanche?"
"Your troops are less than half of the princess's men, so naturally I won't go out of the city and mess up my own position for you!"
"And at the same time, what do you think when you find an army of 10,000 people lurking outside the city gates and in a hidden place?" Felton's question immediately silenced White, but everyone around him couldn't help but show excited expressions. (To be continued......)
