Everyone fell into silence. Just as Nashadir said, the opposite side was an evenly matched force and weapons and equipment superior to theirs.
There is no way they can bring it forward.
In their opinion, such a battle plan will fail no matter how it is formulated.
The situation that blocked the French army in the granary last time could not be repeated in this assault battle.
Sean also fell into thinking. Although he could analyze so much, he actually didn't have a clear battle plan.
That's why he didn't express his thoughts in the discussion just now.
Nashadir glanced at everyone, marked the locations of the three outposts on the map, nodded and said, "The total strength of these three outposts is six thousand."
"That is to say, no matter how many of their troops there are, they will not be larger than this value."
"But in actual terms, the most likely strength of this outpost will not exceed 3,000 people. After all, the French army cannot send one or two hundred people to guard other outposts."
"Suppose we attack, and the troops on the far right are sent out with 6,000 people."
"If we hide it well enough, if our six thousand troops attack this outpost, how much time do you think we will have to destroy them, or how long do you think we will have before we can see the French troops?"
After hearing this, Sean's face froze. He looked at the map and an idea came to him. He murmured: "This is not an evenly matched battle at all, but a crushing battle in terms of strength!"
Nashadir saw that Sean had come to his senses and said, "Sean, what do you think our combat plan should be like? You should be able to give me the answer now, right?"
Sean nodded vigorously: "No problem at all."
"Well, you come and tell them."
Everyone looked at Sean, and Sean said in a deep voice: "Actually, we thought wrong when we learned that the enemy army had 9,000 troops."
"Their nine thousand troops are not concentrated, but dispersed in four locations about fifty kilometers apart."
"Perhaps the French's intelligence on us is still limited to them because our troops are now only at the level of 5,000 men."
"Asymmetric information is our biggest advantage. We sent 6,000 people to attack their leftmost outpost. It will be a crushing operation of our forces against their forces."
"The result of being attacked by so many of our troops is that the enemy may mistakenly think that we are the main force of the attack, and the troops from the other two outposts will attack us at this time."
"And their two outposts are 43 kilometers and 75 kilometers away from us respectively. They will not arrive at the same time."
"And this march time is enough for us to annihilate the troops at the left outpost. We only need to contain the remaining troops who are coming."
"Our other force will be able to attack the weapons depot from the far right."
"This is a two-front battle!"
After listening to Sean's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
Nashadir added next to him: "Exchanging time for space is the core of this tactic."
Henry thought for a moment and came up with a different opinion: "I have a question."
"Please tell me," Sean said.
"What if we attack the leftmost outpost and the French army doesn't fall for the trick?"
Sean's face was startled. He really didn't expect this question.
Nashadir laughed and said: "If that's the case, our troops will attack the arsenal directly after destroying the French troops on the far left."
"With our remaining strength, we can also capture the arsenal."
"At this time, another force involved the French army."
"The advantage of our military strength lies with us. No matter how we fight, our military strength has an absolute advantage. For any unit, we have enough troops to crush them."
