Chapter 688: Rising to the Top
"I have a better way. Bimoyer walked up the steps and stood in front of the generals.
"Boy, it's the generals who are having a combat meeting, where is there a place for you to interject, don't make trouble here. A general said unhappily: "I don't like this kind of family the most." β
Bimoyer listened, and was not angry.
Joda said, "What can you do, let's hear it." β
"First of all, we should not retreat, and retreating is not good for us. β
"Four disadvantages?" the generals looked down in thought, but then asked, "Which four are unfavorable?"
Bimoyer held out a finger: "First, the situation is unfavorable. If we can't hold the retreat, and General Ruhr loses the gates to the left and right, we will be forced to shrink the defensive line, and then our stronghold passes will be occupied by the enemy, and the enemy will form a coalition of forces. β
"Second ......" he held out his second finger: "Disadvantaged." By that time, General Ruhr had only two options to take, either the army retreated northward, or he was surrounded by enemy generals. If we retreat to the north, we will lose the favorable terrain of the 'trench' defensive line, and if we do not withdraw, the army will be forced to fight a decisive battle with the enemy in advance, which has almost no chance of winning. β
"Thirdly, the situation is unfavorable. Whether we retreat north or hold on, our situation is not favorable. First retreated to the north, and after the retreat to the north, all the way to the north was a plain, and our army had no danger to defend. After the enemy occupies the Volkan Mountains, he will be able to rely on the natural danger to drive straight in, and then the situation will be even worse, and it will be difficult for our troops to counterattack. The enemy's 800,000-strong army has already formed a situation of encirclement against us, not to mention that the supply of the army may be cut off by the enemy, and there is even a danger that the entire army will be annihilated. Even if you hold on until domestic reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult to recapture the lost line of defense at that time. β
"Fourth, bad for the generals. The generals are all ordered to hold on to White Rock City, and we have not received an order from above to retreat, and if the generals decide to retreat at this time, they will violate the military order, leave their posts without permission, fear war, and flee the battlefield, and they will definitely die. β
"Hey, hey. Alan said, "That's too serious." β
"It is reasonable to retreat in such a situation, and it is also to preserve the troops. β
"Yes. β
BimΓΈyer ignored them and continued, "So with these four disadvantages, we can't retreat. β
One said: "What if you don't retreat? If you don't retreat, you can only defend here." But in the current situation, we can only hold on for a day or two at most, and then the whole army will be wiped out, can you bear this responsibility?"
Bimoye said coldly: "War is a risky thing, if you are a general who is timid to fight and dare not take responsibility, then how can you fight." β
"You...... How dare you teach me?"
Jodah stopped him and asked Bimoyer, "You just said that there is a better way, what way?"
Bimoyer said: "Since we can't retreat and can't hold it, we simply don't defend it, give them White Rock City, and take the initiative to attack." β
This made everyone startled: "Take the initiative to attack? Now that people are sleepy, the morale is low, and there are countless wounded, can you still take the initiative to attack the enemy at this time?" You kid, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." β
Bimoyer ignored it and continued, "We also have four advantages in abandoning the city. First, paralyze the enemy. When the enemy sees us abandoning the city and leaving, he must think that we are retreating, and will make the enemy mistakenly think that our army is going to adopt a strategy of shrinking the defense. At this time, we can take the back mountain path and join forces with the forces of Sandstone City. Now the enemy Eighth Army and the enemy Eleventh Army opposite us are concentrating their forces to attack White Rock City, and Shayan City is not being attacked, and joining forces together can increase our strength. β
"What's the use of adding this force? β
Jodah waved his hand: "Hey, don't interrupt him, let him speak." β
The man had no choice but to hold back his breath and not speak.
Bimoyer said: "Second, surprise. Now that the enemy is attacking on both the eastern and western fronts, they must not have imagined that we would dare to take the initiative at this time. β
"Third, attack it unprepared. Now that the enemy is attacking with all his might, the rear must be empty in defense, and we should avoid the enemy's main forces, go straight behind the enemy, and attack Znaca. This move seems to be too dangerous to be alone, but in fact it is a way to live. Znaka is the easternmost camp of the enemy's eastern front, and we can attack at any time if we go west to the enemy's camps; to the south is the enemy's large rear, and we can sneak attack at any time; to the north, we can contact Baishi City, and as long as reinforcements arrive, we can recover it at any time; if the enemy turns around and attacks us in a big way, we will go east, and there is no enemy army east of Znaka, and we can retreat at any time. This is a place where you can attack and retreat. β,
"Fourth, buy time. When we take Znaca, we are like a nail in the enemy, and the enemy will certainly try to pull us out, so that the offensive on the Eastern Front will inevitably slow down, and we can buy time to call for reinforcements. I believe that the country will not abandon the southern defense line, and at this time maybe reinforcements are already on the way, and the more we delay it, the better it will be for us. Bimoyer said: "With these four advantages and four disadvantages, we can only attack." β
After hearing this, all the generals were silent and pondering, this method seemed to be really feasible.
Irina and Luo, who were not far away, were all amazed and admired after listening to Bimoyer's eloquent conversation.
"Bimoyer, that's amazing. Vane exclaimed, "I don't understand what he's saying, but I feel powerful." β
Jodah propped his chin on his hands, looked at Bimoye secretly, and said to himself, "This kid." The current situation is so critical, the soldiers are panicked, and the generals are uneasy, but he can still make such a detailed analysis with such a calm mind. Although some of the ideas are not yet mature, they are generally similar to what I thought, and Otis may have been nothing more than that. He looked at the generals and asked, "What do you think of this proposal?"
The generals were still whispering, but there was no clear opposition. Maybe they already know that this method is better, but they don't want to say it and admit it, and they don't want to admit that they can't think as far as a young soldier.
Judah said: "I also think this suggestion is good, since everyone has no opinion, so it was decided." But since you want to abandon the city and attack, you might as well teach them a lesson. When we left the city, we laid an ambush in the city with traps and explosives, and when the enemy entered the city, they would think that we had evacuated, and if we killed him at this time, they would be caught off guard and defeated. β
When the generals heard this, they all thought it was good.
Jodah continued: "Also, since we want to fight, we have to take the initiative, we will not fight Znakha. β
Bimoyer frowned and thought about it.
One asked, "If you don't fight Znaka, where will you fight?"
Jodah looked at everyone and said word by word: "Fight the Dragon Acropolis!"
Bimoyer was slightly stunned, and immediately a topographical map of the area came to mind, and he looked at Jodah again. Seeing his expression and listening to what he said, he knew that he had already had the idea of abandoning the city and attacking, but he didn't say it for the time being, and wanted to listen to other people's suggestions first and see other people's attitudes.
"Fight the Dragon Acropolis......" Langdon nodded, "That's right, it is more beneficial for us to fight here, it is more unexpected for the enemy, and it hurts more to nail the enemy." But at the same time, the risks are great, even greater than those of Znaka. β
"I remember that in ancient times, there was a famous general who only led thousands of cavalry to travel thousands of kilometers and penetrated the hinterland of more than 200,000 enemy troops. He cut open the enemy's stomach like a knife, and slashed all the way, Zuihou killed the 200,000 enemy troops scattered and routed. We did not fight the Acropolis to hold on, but to stick a knife like this into the stomach of the enemy, to disturb their peace. (To borrow the exploits of the famous general Huo Quai, of course, there are slight changes.) Just like Bimoyer said, the better it will be for us if we delay for one more day, even if we die in battle, I will never look back!" He looked at the generals and said: "Most of you are old generals who follow General Edward, and now General Edward's heroic spirit is watching you, do you dare to fight to the death for the sake of the country and for the name of General Edward, and attack the Dragon Acropolis to avenge the general's ambush in the valley!"
Where can these old generals of Edward stand this, they were originally sad and indignant in their hearts, but now they even boil blood at the thought of revenge. One by one, he pounded his fists and swords, gritted his teeth, and said with red eyes: "As long as you can avenge the general, even if you die on the battlefield, you will not hesitate to do anything!"
Jodah said loudly: "In this case, I ordered the soldiers to take out all the food and drink in the granary, and everyone had a full meal, and immediately went on the road." β
"Good!" The veterans under the surrounding walls stood up one after another, raised their swords and shouted, "Avenge General Edward!"
Bimoyer quietly looked at these passionate and grieving generals and soldiers, and he knew that it was right to fight the dragon acropolis.
At that moment, the soldiers in the conference room rushed in with an order.
"What's the matter?"
The soldier will say: "Briefings and orders from the Idesso battalion. β
Jodah took it and looked at it, a smile on his face. He raised the scroll of paper in his hand and said loudly: "See, General Ruhr has not adopted the strategy of shrinking the defensive line, he wants to attack and defend!"
Many of the soldiers rejoiced when they heard this, especially those of Edward's old subordinates, old soldiers. But there are still some doubts, can you really take offense as defense at this time?
