Chapter 929: A Little Calculation Before the War
Although the big talk of wanting to trouble Wooding has been released, of course Don will not immediately put this on the agenda. To use a very apt analogy, even a prisoner on death row has a good life for several months......
Mainly because Lan Sha wants to really take over the commander of the Gray Army, he needs at least a week's buffer time. This is a necessary process, and it is not determined by the strength of Lansha's military command. After all, even if it is an ordinary stranger, it will take a while to get acquainted, not to mention that Lansha has to face hundreds of thousands of strange officers and soldiers, and there is a not very friendly start......
In this way, don't say that Bamutu is not at ease to leave, even Tang En also feels the need to leave some time for her to press.
However, Lan Sha himself obviously did not have such consciousness, and his first order after taking office was that the army would rest for a day, and then he moved a huge pile of intelligence and war situations and watched them behind closed doors for a day. The next day, Josia Frey and others were brought to come up with a new strategy and announce that the army was officially ready to fight......
Needless to say, this naturally caused another uproar, which was unanimously opposed by almost all high-ranking generals. It's not that they can't afford to lose and take the opportunity to retaliate, it's just that they feel that Lansha's move is too casual and rash. Strategy is not tactics, tactics are only the gains and losses of a war and a place, but strategy is related to the life and death of the gray army. When did the Gray Army formulate a strategic plan before, didn't it invite all the high-level generals to gather together and discuss it for at least a few days or weeks before coming up with a prototype plan? But Lan Sha was good, she closed her doors for a day, and she didn't invite people to discuss, so she directly skipped the stage of deliberation and let the army implement it, this ...... How do you look at it, it's unreliable!
But. It was opposed by almost all high-ranking generals. Naturally, there are people who agree. Or the default. Among them are Josia and Frey, two figures who occupy a pivotal position in the Gray Army, among which Josia did not speak, and his attitude can be regarded as acquiescence. This is not surprising, after all, she has supported Lansha's attitude from the beginning. But in a sense, Frey, who was robbed of his job, after reading the strategic plan and sincerely asking Lan Sha a few questions, uncharacteristically persuaded the thin monkey and other close generals to support him!
And so it goes. Lansha's seemingly unreliable strategic plan is self-prone.
"It's really ......" Watching the high-level generals leave with ugly faces, Lansha calmly packed up the strategic plan on the table, and shook his head and shrugged his shoulders a little depressedly at Donne, Josia and Frey, who were still in the room, "It's too strange." I haven't even looked at this strategic plan carefully, and I don't know what they're blindly against?"
In fact, from the beginning to the end of this meeting, Lansha came up with a strategic plan, and then everyone unanimously opposed it. Except for a few questions about the strategic plan, the other generals and high-ranking officials did not read the plan completely. This made Lansha, who was ready to explain, feel like a punch on the cotton. It's inevitably a little depressing. Of course, in comparison, those high-level generals are undoubtedly even more depressed. Before they could fully express their skeptical arguments, this strategic plan turned out to be straightforward, which is completely unreasonable......
"Hehe, you deserve it, you despise you, the usurper who came from behind. With a reassuring sentence of insincerity, Don winked at Frey, who was still looking at the strategic plan seriously, "You said yes, Brother Frey?"
"Yes...... Well, what?" Frey subconsciously looked up, his face blank.
"Hah, I see. Don spread his hands at Lan Sha, "The main lord said yes, it seems that you usurper is really unpopular enough." β
Of course, this is a joke, Lan Sha doesn't mind, and waves his hand casually: "What usurper, latecomer ......" paused, thinking of something, and Joshia who looked up at the same time squinted for a moment, and inadvertently looked away, "I don't expect to be welcomed anyway, as long as they follow my orders on the battlefield, nothing else matters." β
"Miss Lansha, please don't mind. At this time, Frey suddenly stood up and said solemnly, "All officers and soldiers will obey your orders and carry them out to the letter." I can guarantee that. And with Miss Lansha's ability, I believe that as long as you win a few battles, everyone will obey you. β
"Then thank you, General Frey. Lan Sha was stunned when he heard this, looked at Frey's expression and realized something, nodded with a chuckle, and then waved his hand, "It really doesn't matter if you accept it or not, after all, I'm not here to pry the corner of the wall, and if you really get to that point, it's not good to cause a misunderstanding." Hehe, General Frey, do you say yes?"
"Then it depends on Miss Lansha's meaning. After a pause, Frey hesitated and said, "One more point, although we are nominally the commander of cooperation, Miss Lansha will be the main one in this, and please give me advice." β
"Hehe, General Frey is so polite. Glancing at Donn, Lansha had already confirmed that Frey knew her true identity at this time, and bent down to perform a Bran woman's etiquette, and said lightly, "Then it will be me and General Frey to cooperate, please take care of me." β
Frey, who knew Lansha's true identity, dared to hold it up, and hurriedly replied with a courtesy when he saw this.
It's a good start, with Frey's help, and I believe that Lansha's resistance to commanding the army will be much smaller. This is also the reason why Don En only told SΓΉ Frey of Lansha's identity, and now that he has achieved his goal, this seemingly brief meeting has come to a successful conclusion.
Because the battle plan was to be launched immediately, several people did not chat. First, Frey left and led the generals back to the front army. Immediately, Victor brought people over to break up the temporary tent, and the three of Don naturally walked out of the tent.
"Donn. When Josia walked away to take charge of the relocation of the camp, Lansha suddenly stopped Don who was leaving, and blinked, "Be careful, you must come back safely with Grandpa Bamutu." β
Tang En couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, then reacted and touched his nose: "Thank you...... Well, did Ba Laodu tell you?"
Lansha chuckled noncommittally and shook his head, "Will you tell Josia about it truthfully?"
"Well, no. After thinking about it, Don shook his head as well.
Spread his hands, "That's it, Grandpa Bamutu will hide it from me." But it's not hard to guess, isn't it?" Lan Sha smiled and looked at the southern sky, "When an empire not only has to face strong external enemies, but also has its own people standing up and resisting internally. That means it's time for it to perish...... This is the current situation of Bran. I believe many people can see it. It's just that the position is different. We want to hasten this destruction, and some want to delay it. For example, the strongest man in the continent who is revered as the guardian saint by the Bran people......"
"Yes, yes, I know you're smart. Glancing at Victor and the others in the distance, Don interrupted Lansha's analysis angrily. This must be kept secret, especially for Josia. Otherwise, what would she think when she knew that Don had just returned from the front and was going to fight Woodin to the death...... Without thinking, she would definitely stop it. Even if it comes at the cost of being caught off guard. However, there are some things that it is useless to run away......
Sooner or later!
This is not just for Bamutu. The Northern Wilderness tribe is fighting against Bran, and what the Gray Army is doing now is also digging the corner of Bran, anyway, it is the enemy of Bran after all. In this way, of course, Woodin, who is the patron saint of Bran, will not sit idly by, so whether it is Bamutu or Donn, just because of their position, the battle between him and Woodin will definitely not be able to run......
Not to mention that he can be somewhat sure of defeating Woodin. Let's just say that if I can pull Bamutu to my side by chance now, this opportunity is absolutely once-in-a-lifetime. Don certainly didn't want to miss it.
The so-called arrow is on the string, and the reason that has to be issued is the same.
"Ah, I'll help you hide it. Looking at Don En's cautious expression, Lansha smiled and said, "This is a secret that belongs to the two of us, and I promise not to let Josia find out." β
"Thank you...... That's not right!" Subconsciously looked at Lan Sha and smiled, Tang En grinned like a toothache, "I'm also a friend, I'm so fierce and unlucky, and I have a lot of pressure, what do you mean by looking heartless?"
"Ha, I have faith in you. β
"Hehe, thank you...... Even though I don't even know what faith is......"
......
......
Tang En didn't have confidence in himself because he was facing the sword god Wu Ding this time. Lansha is confident in herself because she ...... Well, it's abusing vegetables!
This is not an exaggeration. First of all, the enemy she faced this time was not the three major armies of Bran that were quite effective before, nor was it a regular veteran. Rather, it is an inaccessible reserve that the Northern Armaments Department cannot transfer to the front. Among them, they are either recruits who have just learned how to hold weapons without trembling, or retired veterans who have no choice but to come down from the front line because of their age of injury, etc.
With such a group of troops with uneven combat effectiveness, it is not a big problem to encircle and suppress bandits and bandits and maintain the stability of the hinterland of Bran, but it is really difficult for them to charge into battle and destroy the city.
Secondly, although Lan Sha is now in command, although he is no longer recognized as the strongest tribal warrior on the mainland, he is also a gray-clothed army that can win and defeat with tribal warriors on the frontal battlefield. Even in a way, for Lan Sha, the soldiers of the Grey Army were more effective than the tribal warriors under her command.
The reason for this is also simple, that is, although the soldiers of the Gray Clothes Army are generally less educated, they are still much better than the barbarians who are naturally simple-minded. And in terms of Lansha's perfect strategic overall situation, she is not afraid of encountering any famous opponents with full of wisdom, nor is she worried about the disparity in troops, and she does not care how detailed and cumbersome she has to write her orders. She feared that her subordinates would not be able to heed her tactical intentions and make a mess of what was supposed to be a proper order...... And there is no doubt that, at least in this respect, the Grey Army soldiers can throw off the barbarian warriors for three streets!
With such subjective and objective advantages, the battle situation of the gray-clothed army commanded by Lan Sha for a week is naturally self-evident......
Push, push, keep pushing!
It's like a heavy chariot that has soared to the limit, crushing wildly all the way, and the momentum is like a bamboo, and it can't stop at all!
Two large cities, four medium-sized towns, no counted farmstead plots...... In just one week, the Grey Army was like a terrifying beast that had just broken into the human world from the Flood Desolate Realm, opening its bloody mouth and devouring countless battle results without satisfaction.
Obviously, the Northern Armaments Department is not aware that the gray army of today is very different from before. One was not careful, and when he reacted, the gray-clothed army had already swam the sea and officially rushed into the northern hinterland, and it was not even far from the location of the northern armament department......
As mentioned earlier, Bran's forces in the north are not small, but most of them are concentrated in the frontline area to prevent the barbarians from driving straight in. So the back is huge. There are not many soldiers who can actually fight. It's not that they don't want to send troops from the south to station. It's just that there are really no decent and dangerous places in the hinterland to rely on as a line of defense. There is no place to station. And now let the gray army rush in, like a vicious wolf over the fence of the sheepfold, not to mention doing whatever he wants, but at least it is really difficult to drive it out......
The battle situation is on this, obviously not relying on a few newspapers, a few official announcements that are not sick and moaning, can whitewash the peace. The Grey Army, as an emerging force, is also officially standing in front of Bran, and it is on the opposite side. Start shining your own dazzling light!
The Northern Armaments Service was obviously caught off guard and unusually entangled in this. The miscellaneous troops at hand were not enough to suppress the gray-clothed army, and the regular army on the front did not dare to call back. can only send cannon fodder to block it, and at the same time hurriedly seek reinforcements from the military in the capital......
Leaving aside the chaos on Bran's side, after a week's battle, the Grey Army was reborn again, and the top and bottom were truly pinched into a strong rope. As Lan Sha said before, she didn't need to be welcomed by the high-ranking generals of the Gray Army, and it didn't mean anything to her. She just had to obey, obey, and obey, and win one battle after another. One after another, the results naturally made the generals of the Gray Army recognize her military command ability.
So. That's enough.
And it is obvious that in the face of this large number of actual achievements that cannot be ignored, the attitude of the generals can be imagined. Now not to mention the conflict, even if there is no intermediate link in GuΓ² Frey, the generals respect Lan Sha's orders like divine sounds, and resolutely implement them to the letter.
This is the fierce charm of the commander of the army!
......
Of course, this has little to do with Donn. After the Grey Army officially rushed into Bran's hinterland, Don made an excuse and quietly left with Bamutu, heading south of Bran.
Of course, it was not directly to kill Bran Capital, and Tang En was not so arrogant that with the strength of the two of them, he dared to send mutton to the point of directly single-handing out all the masters of Bran.
In fact, Don had no intention of going south at all, and he wanted Woodin to take the initiative to come to them. So, he's destroying all the teleportation arrays that can reach the south......
Above a certain large city, Tang En stood in the void, looked at the space magic tower that was emitting dense black smoke below, nodded with satisfaction, and then spread out the simple map in his hand, and swept his eyes: "Let's go, the next location is Shanxi City, three hundred kilometers away in the east...... Yo, the Holy City of the North, I know that place well. β
Seeing this, Bamutu frowned: "Do you have to do this?" Having said that, the movements at hand were not slow, and as soon as he put Tang En's shoulder, he disappeared in place in an instant, turning into a black streamer and rushing towards the east.
This kind of speed is difficult for ordinary people to reach with the naked eye. But Tang En, who was in it, didn't feel uncomfortable, and the cold wind in the high altitude was also secretly isolated by Bamutu by some means, which was very pleasant.
Shi Shiran put away the map, and Tang En replied with a smile: "Of course, Ba Lao, you are not from Bran, and you don't know that there are three ways to come from the south of Bran to the north. One is by land, the other is by water, and the third is directly through the guΓ² remote teleportation array. Let's not talk about the first two, if Wooding wants to come over, he will definitely choose to take the remote teleportation array. In this way, it is impossible for our side to guess his whereabouts. And once he approaches the Gray Clothes Army's garrison, then the personal safety of Lansha, which you always care about, is not easy to say. β
"I see...... Bamutu nodded subconsciously when he heard this, but the mountains and rivers between his eyebrows were still not dispersed: "But even if we destroy all the teleportation arrays that go directly to the south, Bran is so big, how can you guess Woodin's whereabouts and intercept it halfway?"
"Hehe, that's the other two ways to get there. Let's talk about the land route first, the land route between the south and the north has always been a three-regardless region, and there are many thieves and bandits. Of course, the old man Woodin definitely doesn't have to care about this. However, it is worth mentioning that the distance by land is the farthest, and there are many mountains, and the reason is rugged, and vehicles are basically impassable. β
"So Woodin will take the waterway?"
Don nodded affirmatively: "Quite possibly, at least we are blocking him there, and the probability of success is much higher than that of land." β
Bamutu was still uneasy and asked, "If you can't wait for him, and you just miss him, what should you do with Lansha?"
"Don't worry, Ba Lao. I wouldn't do anything I'm not sure about, and don't forget, Josia and Lansha are together right now. Confidently chuckling, Donn narrowed his eyes and explained, "The Grey Army has an intelligence agency in the north, and as long as Wooding comes, he can always be found. Besides, I had already reminded Lan Sha when I came out that she was so smart, of course she knew how to protect herself and command stealthily. β
Speaking of this, Bamutu is not a person without decision, so he naturally understands that there is no risk in everything, so he nodded and said no more.
Tang En suddenly asked at this time: "Actually, there is another reason for dismantling the remote teleportation array, I don't know if Ba Lao can guess it?"
Ba Mutu was stunned when he heard this, and before he could think about it, Tang En leaned in and chuckled, looking like a dog, and asked himself: "Ba Lao, you are also a master, when you know that masters compete, the victory or defeat is often in that line. Our side destroyed the teleportation array, and Woodin could only rely on ordinary means to get here. Well, you know, Woodin is getting older, too, so that should take a lot of his mind away. And if we can intercept it halfway, it is equivalent to waiting for work at leisure......"
was slightly stunned, and then Bamutu couldn't help but raise his head and laugh: "Haha, the girl is right, you are really treacherous enough." β
"What are you talking about, I'm thinking about you......" Tang En spread his hands helplessly when he heard this, as if he was aggrieved. In his heart, he was snickering slightly, wishing that he could not think of some more ways to maintain the balance of power between Bamutu and Wooding, and then prayed that the two of them could have a happy end together, and they were both happy......
