Chapter 602: Choice
When they returned to the barracks, Shadow Dance and Light Spirit had already returned, and Shadow Dance threw Wang Yong a Spirit Void Ring and said, "All the refrigeration magic arrays and some magic crystals are inside, and I have also told Lan Lao what you think, and they promised to devote themselves to the corresponding research as soon as possible after dealing with the work at hand." ”
Wang Yong asked in surprise: "Are they busy, what are they busy with?"
Shadow Dance shrugged and said, "Anyway, it's a seal carving magic array or something, I don't know what those magic arrays do, but I heard that it's a task assigned by Regan." Wang Yong nodded and didn't ask much, and let them toss, because Wang Yong knew that Reagan was measured and would not do boring things at such a time.
Next, Wang Yong got in touch with the Asphalt Hu base, and after learning that there were a lot of standard underwear in the warehouse, he asked Qingling to run again and bring back enough underwear to be distributed to all the soldiers of the Fifth Legion. Qingling was originally killed and didn't go, but later, under Wang Yong's coercion and temptation, he promised to take her to rob the candy store again in the future.
According to the high-altitude reconnaissance of the air scouts and the information fed back from Aaron's side, the enemy army has entered the province of West Asia, but I don't know why, in the form of no resistance, their marching speed is still slow, and they burn and loot everywhere they pass, and they have no intention of occupying the province of West Asia, but are more like a gang of robbers who rob houses and houses, and leave with one vote.
According to intelligence, at the enemy's present pace, it would take at least three days for their main forces to reach the seaside border, and if a small number of troops were left to defend each military point at the present rate, they would have a maximum of 30,000 men left when they reached the border of the coastal province.
What surprised Wang Yong even more was that the direction of this army was clear, pointing directly at the coastal province, and almost ignoring the troops stationed on the border of the Fule Province, as if they were not worried about the surprise attack of the troops who were deployed.
Behind the intelligence, there is also an analysis report by Chris and Iron Mask and others. According to their analysis, according to the normal military deployment, if the enemy's purpose is to invade and occupy, then they should first occupy a few cities close to the border and defend them, and if it is safe, wait for the reinforcements of the Eternal Empire to arrive before moving forward. If it is a commander who dares to take risks, he will also divide his troops forward, occupy more cities and military points, and then slowly digest and consolidate the results.
However, such a force as this one, which only occupies the northern part of the province of West Asia and the adjacent area of the coastal province, sees the defenders of the southern part of the province of West Asia and the border of the province of Fuller as nothing. Their purpose, or the goal of the trip, is self-evident.
Moreover, according to their unscrupulous way of leaving only one line of occupation to transport logistics supplies, Chris and the others felt that they didn't know that the Shenlong Pass had been lost, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a desperate attempt to go straight to the seaside province.
Chris suggested that the first solution would be to mobilize all the troops on the coast to assemble on the border and build simple fortifications on the plains to defend against enemy invasions, and at the same time. Ordered Aaron and his troops to flank from the rear, force the enemy to retreat, and gather superior forces to drive the enemy out of the province of West Asia in one fell swoop, which had the advantage that the land and all the construction of the coastal province would not be damaged by the war. The disadvantage is that they can't cripple this army in one fell swoop, they still maintain a certain combat effectiveness, and they may counterattack at the right time.
The second central countermeasure plan is to release the enemy's main force into the coastal province according to the original plan. Aaron and Ryan then cleared the enemy forces remaining in the province of West Asia as quickly as possible, and then the two armies joined forces and followed the main force of the enemy back to the seaside province. Trap enemy forces in the southern part of the Coastal Province with the troops in your territory and slowly eat away at them. The advantage is that fighting at home can boost the morale of the soldiers, and there is a chance to cripple or completely annihilate the main force of the enemy, so that the Eternal Empire will not be able to launch another war of aggression in the short term.
Chris and Iron Mask both agreed with the second option, they felt that since there was a chance to cripple the enemy army, they should let it go, so as to buy more time for the territory to develop, although it would be relatively worth sacrificing more soldiers. Finally, Chris also suggested that if Wang Yong plans to use the second plan, then he should start preparing for battle now, and find a way to lure the enemy into the seaside province as soon as possible, so as not to take too long and they will turn around and flee after learning the news of Shenlong Pass.
Putting down the information, Wang Yong walked out of his tent and asked the guards who came to help Wayne and the others were making preparations in Fuller's Chinese army tent, Wang Yong thought about it and asked the guards to call Fuller here to discuss.
Fuller came to Wang Yong's tent, wiped his sweat a little uncomfortably, and after reading the information handed by Wang Yong and Chris's advice, Fuller looked at Wang Yong.
Wang Yong frowned and asked, "What do you think?"
Fuller thought for a while and said: "I think His Excellency Chris's suggestion is very good, since there is a chance to annihilate the enemy army, we should try, anyway, even if it fails, the big deal is to let them run away, or destroy some more buildings, but let him preserve enough strength, it is enough for us to come here and burn us often, and I think the emperor of our empire will also be happy to let them come and burn us at any time." "Fuller belongs to the old man of the seaside team, so he is clear about the grievances between Wang Yong and the emperor, and Wang Yong has not hidden anything about it.
Wang Yong didn't say anything, but asked Shadow Dance to get in touch with Aaron's Mizuki and Tsinghua, and asked Aaron to come to Wang Yong's tent to negotiate in a teleportation array, while Crane, Reese, and Iron Mask also came from the Asphalt Hu base for a face-to-face discussion.
When Wang Yong learned that Aaron was almost unable to suppress his commanders, and that there were not many logistical supplies left, Wang Yong resolutely decided to use the second plan.
After determining the plan, Wang Yong asked Ryan to go back to prepare first, and Aaron immediately pulled out the camp after returning and slowly moved towards the enemy army to put pressure on the enemy army, but not too fast, so as not to scare him back.
As for the method of luring the enemy deeper, Chris can't help much, he has a unique strategic vision and a strategy for the overall situation, but for these details, Chris is not outstanding, and he has not come up with any good methods, so Wang Yong did not let him delay time here, and let him and Tie Mian go back to monitor the deployment of the entire battle situation.
After the others left, Wang Yong called Cumberland, the chief of staff of the Fifth Legion, and several people muttered and discussed in the tent for a long time, until it was time for dinner, Wang Yong and the others came out of the tent. (To be continued......)
