For a defensive theater with less than 100,000 troops, 600,000 enemy troops can attack it in any direction, in all directions, at all times, with complete control of the initiative. One to six, if the defense force is dispersed, it will only be
It ended dismally, even if they were in a group, under constant attacks from the opponent, the ending would not be much better...
"If you can turn the number of enemy troops into 200,000 with just one roar, I won't stop you, but it's obvious that you don't have the ability." General Martin glanced at him, "Now, shut your mouth!"
"Sir, do we have more detailed information?" A major general asked cautiously: "For example..."
"There is no exact time, no exact number of people, and no exact attack route." Admiral Martin directly shattered the generals' illusions. "The only thing that is certain is that we must stop them, no matter what the cost."
The generals have been fighting with the emperor and have always enjoyed all the conveniences brought by the developed intelligence network. Therefore, at this moment, everyone is very uncomfortable with the reality of extreme lack of intelligence, and the dissatisfaction is also shown on their faces.
"Without detailed intelligence, we can't fight the war? What the general wants now is the advice of soldiers, not the complaints of women." Not everyone will blame others for the lack of intelligence. One general used
He glanced at the other generals with calm and powerful eyes. "Why has His Majesty Cohen been cultivating us so hard? To put us on a safe battlefield? To allow us to fight a battle that is bound to win? That's the enemy! It's not an act.
Our opponents! They will plunder us and appear in front of us at all costs! They must rely on their own abilities to reverse the unfavorable battle situation. This is the true role of a general!"
"You should still remember every war under the command of His Majesty Cohen. Which one was not fought with less and more? One to six, are they sure to win?" Admiral Martin took over the general's words and changed his tone.
Slowing down a little, he said, "You are all generals brought by His Majesty Cohen. Think about it carefully! How can we fight to maintain the prestige of this army? How can we fight to be worthy of His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Yes, sir." A major general coughed dryly and focused all his attention on the war. After thinking for a while, he said: "It will take at least five days for 600,000 enemy troops to enter the border from four points.
, plus logistics and so on, it will take at least fifteen days for them to reach our inner defense circle. Although we have less than 100,000 regular troops, as long as we shrink the defense work and persist for half a month, there should be no problem. With this
In a month's time, the reinforcements should arrive."
"But the key is that we don't know how the enemy attacks." Another major general said, "What if we adopt a shrinking defense method and they bypass us and directly attack the rear. There are plains in front and behind us, and there is no defense at all.
Levels, taking an average, if any enemy force of 150,000 people crosses Silver Frost Castle, the inland army can only engage in a decisive battle with them in the wild, and judging from the situation some time ago, this is basically no longer the case in the interior of the empire.
A large army is nearby, and even if such an army could be assembled, time would not allow it."
"Behind our war zone, there is absolutely no local garrison that can compete with 150,000 regular troops." Some generals affirmed this view, "Before the reinforcements arrive, they will cause great damage to us...
"
"Although reinforcements will definitely come, don't think too much now. No matter how many troops have not arrived on the battlefield, it is useless. Now we formulate strategies based only on our own military strength." At this point, General Martin said
He announced in a calm tone, "By the way, the opponent's commander is Karl Ulysses, the commander-in-chief of the last war between gods and demons."
The generals surrounding him were all silent at this time. They knew the importance of this prince very well. The fact that the Divine Alliance can send him to command only shows that they attach great importance to this war. Their war
The preparations have far exceeded his original estimate... 600,000 people, Ulysses, do they want to destroy Sibia?
As for our own side, I am afraid that we have to reconsider this war from a higher level.
"It seems that everyone understands the key to this. So, let us now assume that the enemy's logistics is not a problem at all." General Martin said, "You should pay attention to a key point, why the enemy will attack from four points at the same time.
?This is not consistent with the style of the Divine Alliance Army, nor is it consistent with the style of this commander, who has always been a conservative commander."
"And there are only two roads, so why bother to open the other two roads? This kind of temporary road transportation capacity is seriously insufficient. The troops must carry portable supplies with them. It will not last long." A general nodded in agreement, "This is too generous.
If it’s too big, if it’s an attack, wouldn’t it be the best option to rely on a scale of 600,000 and follow two trade routes?”
"Or...this strange method is the most stable in his opinion?"
After all, they had all been following Cohen for a long time, and as they were gradually getting into the excitement of the battle, the generals' minds began to become active, and they immediately began to start from the phenomenon, trying to deduce the ultimate combat goal of the rebel side.
"What exactly is the combat objective that would lead to the steady division of troops into four groups? And two of them only carry limited supplies?"
"The limited supplies prove that the combat tasks of these two groups of enemies are not very heavy, or they are just responsible for the cover mission."
"What are they covering? Covering the main force to attack Yinshuang Province?" someone was wondering.
"An attack on Yinshuang Province with two routes of 300,000 people is completely adequate!" Someone retorted, "Why bother?"
"If the enemies on both wings have heavy combat missions, the supplies they carry with them will definitely not be able to withstand the consumption. What else can they do without supplies? It is absolutely impossible for them to have any intention of expanding the front or developing in depth. This is completely unexplainable!"
"Gentlemen, I am really disappointed with you." General Martin waved his hand to stop more and more arguments, and then said under the gaze of all the generals: "Time is running out, I want to go out first.
.After I come back, I want to hear your most accurate analysis of the enemy's combat intentions. If you can't do it, prepare to all pick the shit."
A quarter of an hour later, General Martin walked back to the conference room and came to the silent generals.
"Sir, we have analyzed it." A major general said: "Their combat intention is not ours..."
"What is it?"
"Their ultimate combat goal is our reinforcements." The heavy-faced major general sent the map to the general, pointed to the various lines on it and said: "The enemy's flanking troops will remain in a non-fighting state after crossing the border.
The movement back to the encirclement was only carried out when the reinforcements arrived. When the encirclement was formed, they also entered their own supply range, so they did not need too many supplies. The armies on both sides only needed to carry the supplies for this battle.
enough."
"So?" General Martin looked at the major general and said, "Our reinforcements can't come?"
"If the reinforcements don't come, then our defense is meaningless. The 600,000 enemies can do anything." The Major General's face was already a little abnormal. "The reinforcements will not only come, but they must come quickly. If Yinshuang Province
If we fall, the outcome will not be better than if the reinforcements are surrounded and annihilated."
"why."
"The main enemy can choose to attack Silver Frost Castle, or surround us with 150,000 people and attack us directly. What's even more frightening is that they can also choose to drag the reinforcements here, and the battle situation on the demon side will be
It’s very dangerous! In such a situation, our own army of 100,000 people can hardly help at all!”
"So, we have to find a way to get these 100,000 troops to help." General Martin said: "Although 100,000 troops are not many, it is unlikely that they can eat them all in one bite."
"Admiral! Time is running out!" A general said eagerly: "Hurry up and give the order!"
"When I went out just now, I already issued the order." Admiral Martin replied easily and calmly, "Now let's see what we, 100,000 people, can do... Everyone, I want you to re-analyze it.
Once, if your analysis is inconsistent with my order, you will still have to pick the shit."
It seems that in this war zone, carrying dung is more terrifying than an attack by 600,000 enemy troops.
It was already late at night after the meeting. All the generals took their orders and left one after another. Only the admiral was left in the conference room. He stood by the window, frowning and looking at the flow of people fleeing on the streets of Silver Frost Castle with his hands behind his back, looking very worried.
At this time, the door of the conference room opened again, and the adjutant came in with an officer from the liaison office and stood behind the general.
Knowing that the adjutant would not interrupt his thoughts at a critical moment, the admiral asked softly: "What's the matter?"
"Sir, it's me." An officer wearing a liaison officer uniform took a small step forward, "I am your confidential officer."
"Confidential officer?" Admiral Martin turned around with a hint of surprise on his face, "Is that... box useful?"
"Yes, sir, a quarter of an hour ago, I received the first order from the Holy Capital, which was confirmed again and again." The somewhat excited confidential officer handed over a document sealed with fire paint in his hand, "Signed by His Majesty the Emperor.
It is a top secret document."
Admiral Martin took the document doubtfully, opened the varnish, and looked at the short line of words on it - the implementation of the Hengdao plan.
Orange flames spread on the document, and the paper gradually turned into ashes.
"It's finally begun!" Turning around to look at the dark night, the admiral muttered a strange verse that His Majesty the Emperor had been chanting when formulating this top-secret plan, "I draw my own sword and smile to the sky."
In the Holy City and the Royal Palace, Visu Keda is telling the four princesses that the Hengdao plan has begun to be implemented.
"Father, haven't we only prepared one-third of the Hengdao plan?" The first imperial concubine, who sat up straight on the recliner, frowned slightly and said, "implementing the Hengdao plan now will expose our full strength.
There’s no room for turning around, right?”
"There is no way around this. Although the preparations for the Hengdao Plan have not been completed, the divine and demonic coalition forces have colluded together this time. The scale is extremely powerful, and almost all the power that will be used in the next war between gods and demons will be
It will be used to attack us." The Prime Minister also looked worried, "At this time, Sibia's conventional army alone will never be able to survive, even if all the troops prepared for the Hengdao plan are sent out.
Special Corps, our situation is still very dangerous."
"How big are they?"
"Based on the current situation, the strength of the divine coalition's first attack has reached 600,000, and the Liva rebels have reached 250,000." The Prime Minister answered truthfully, "The strength of the demon coalition's current attack is 450,000.
, but everyone knows that this number will continue to increase.”
"I understand, we are forced by the situation, and there is no other way." Feilin nodded and said, "We must get through this dangerous situation first."
"We have only prepared one-third of the legion, how to implement it specifically?" Dill Merlin asked.
"Based on the results of the discussion just now, internal affairs should be carried out according to this improved procedure, and try to use personal talents in details to increase the effect and make up for the impact of lack of preparation." The Prime Minister handed the three scrolls to the three.
An imperial concubine said, "Let Cohen and the staff handle military matters. It is enough for us to just do these things."
"Father." Feilin asked doubtfully, "Why is there nothing you want me to do? The Hengdao Plan is not suitable for me to do?"
"No, Feline, you have more important things to do. Because the Hengdao plan was poorly prepared, I don't know how it will end. Therefore, I have proposed another matter to Cohen, and Cohen also acquiesced.
"Taking out another scroll, Visu Keda said sternly: "Only Cohen and I know about the secret bases we prepared earlier, and they will never be discovered by outsiders. What you have to do is follow the instructions on this scroll.
As required, complete the plan one by one."
"Is there such a thing?" Feilin took the scroll doubtfully and found that it required her to designate a list of reserve talents from various tribes and ministries, and prepare a large amount of funds, resources, and materials. "This is... this is...
…”
"I have said that once the Hengdao plan is launched, we have no idea what the outcome will be, or that we can achieve the goal, or that some forces will intervene. All possibilities exist. This backup plan may not necessarily
It will be used, but we cannot take the risk of being unprepared. Our efforts all the time cannot be in vain, and only you can shoulder this important task of inheriting the past and linking the future." Visu Keda's tone was very serious, "After completing your duties, Keda
Li, Wensley, Dill and some others will come to help you."
"You need to set off immediately. After you leave tonight, the Holy City and even the entire empire will enter a state of wartime emergency. No one can pass freely, and no one knows where you are. You will receive the strictest protection."
"So... where is the father? And where is the mother?" Feilin raised her head and asked, "Where is Cohen?"
"In such a war, each of us will have our own mission." Visu Keda said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about us. The same is true for Cohen. We have faced everything since we became the royal family.
Prepare for the hard work.”
"But..." Feilin still had the ability to ask questions, but the other three imperial concubines were too surprised to speak.
This arrangement is almost equivalent to arranging the final seeds. If the expected thing happens, it is certain that no one except the people designated by Feilin will survive.
"Don't be too demanding." Weisu shook his head and said helplessly: "Everyone has his own mission, and there is no escaping it."
"I understand." Feilin held the scroll tightly and said firmly: "I will do this well, and I will wait for the day when Cohen takes me back to the Holy Capital."
"The same goes for us." The other three princesses held their hands together, and Dill Merlin said, "We will never lose!"
Silver Frost Province, the capital is Silver Frost Castle.
"No! Admiral, this is absolutely impossible!" In the conference room, the voices of young generals came to fiercely object, "Admiral, you must not be allowed to take risks! It is too dangerous to defend Silver Frost Castle with only 40,000 people.
Got it!"
"There is no war without taking risks. As long as we can ensure that we can hold back the enemy's forces and delay their expansion, this kind of risk has a very positive meaning." General Martin sat firmly in his seat, not at all concerned.
Taking the objections of his generals into consideration, he said, "Speaking of risks, the most dangerous thing is the two troops harassing the enemy's flanks. Each of you only has 30,000 troops, but you have to entangle the other side's 150,000 troops..."
"That's different! General! We have many ways in the wild, but you can only defend here!" The generals under his command shouted, "This kind of thing should be done by us young people!"
"When you become generals one day, you will be qualified to compete with me for the right to defend Silver Frost Castle. Who is the commander of the other party? With a gold star on your shoulders, you still want to hold him back?" Martin entered
Jiang smiled, stood up and said: "If you think my defensive position is dangerous, you have to fight hard to hold them back. The better you fight, the safer I will be."
"Admiral..."
"Stop talking, this kind of decision is in the best interest of the empire. I've made up my mind!" The admiral's eyes changed and he rejected all the dissuasion. "Now, let's take a look at the plan again!"
The generals remained speechless and opened the documents in their hands. (To be continued)
