Eight hundred and twentieth chapters show the enemy to be weak
The princess is still the same princess, with sophisticated political skills. Whether she is facing old nobles, New Deal officials, rural farmers, or professional soldiers led by the Yongye Army, she can talk and laugh with ease, and easily make the other party show satisfaction.
smile.
His true temperament and strong sense of responsibility have not disappeared at all, but have become stronger.
The princess is no longer that princess. She has become a mother. The former iron princess has become an iron lady, but it has made her shine with the brilliance of love that she lacked before. This may make her iron-fisted reputation somewhat
It doesn't live up to its name, but it can win more support.
Amelia liked this change in her.
Another huge change is that Sophia Liya's view of things is no longer limited to one territory and one place. Sometimes she feels like she is on the outside, and she is always able to make some unexpected judgments and decisions.
Amelia felt that she often couldn't keep up with Princess Sophia's pace and thinking.
Just like Sophilia's previous decision to give up the fight for the eastern front of the Broken Vein Defense Line.
Amelia obviously belongs to the old school and is one of those people who firmly resist.
I think it is very unwise to let the Odin Orcs enter the border and fight with them in the wild.
It is a recognized fact that the Odin Orcs have stronger physiques and fighting qualities than the Byrons.
Even an Odin orc without any military training can easily knock down a recruit who has been trained for half a year, let alone those farmers with pitchforks.
Although Sofilia's subordinates have the ability to fight against the Odin Orcs head-on, they have the ability to fight against the Odin Orcs.
But after all, there are only a few, and most of them are farmers who have courage and courage.
If they rely on the city wall, they can still show their strength in a battle.
If placed in the wild, once the formation is broken up, they will only be slaughtered.
You can't even run. After all, how can two legs outrun four legs?
This doubt was dispelled by the new weapon that came with the Eternal Night Army Lords and Legions - artillery.
This kind of weapon, which throws black powder barrels thousands of meters away, once assembled into a position.
The difficulty of breaking it will increase exponentially.
Only then did Amelia realize that Sophilia's decision to abandon the broken line of defense and reorganize the army was not a sudden decision, but a decision made with sufficient confidence and knowledge.
Amelia had experienced this situation with a person, who was none other than Princess Sophia's husband, Lord Sean.
Even after a short marriage, the two people showed signs of assimilation.
Another change that made Amelia feel uncomfortable was that Princess Sophia's regency was jointly resisted by the old-school nobles, and there were not many available talents. She had to play the role of a generalist, prime minister, finance minister, and intelligence officer.
Minister and many other identities in one person.
Now Sophilia is surrounded by talented people. In terms of military strength, there are Vincent, Rachel, Boris and other fierce generals from the Right Army.
They can only be regarded as second-line generals among the Blood Cavalry. Compared with General Arnold, General Pedro, etc., their reputation is obviously not very prominent.
But compared to the generals in other territories, they are definitely the best tiger generals. Whether it is their achievements or the number of enemies they kill, they can scare everyone.
Although the generals of the two legions sent by the Yong Ye Army to Sophia Liya's side were not showy, their troops themselves were definitely enough to intimidate people.
One is composed entirely of Kentana barbarians, that is, a being like Zunta Mountain, a three-meter Kentana barbarian, which does not sound scary.
Only when we actually met did we realize how terrifying they were. Many people turned into halflings in front of them. Just standing there, they were taller than many people sitting on horseback. Many people
When I arrived in front of them, my legs could not help but tremble, and I couldn't even muster the courage to resist.
The Kentana barbarians were surrendered by the Eternal Night Army and became part of them.
This news is not news to Byron people.
But the rumors are never true, no matter the huge size of the Kentana Barbarians, or the fact that the Kentana Barbarians have integrated into the Eternal Night Army.
What's even more perverted is that these Kentana barbarians not only have better equipment than the Blood Cavalry, but their level of training is not bad at all. They look like well-trained soldiers when sitting or lying down.
This completely breaks the world's legend about the Kentana savages being a group of savage, rude, disrespectful and cannibalistic race.
The only thing more terrifying than a group of huge Kentana savages is, of course, a group of Kentana savages who are well-trained and armed to the teeth.
If they were enemies, it would naturally be a very demoralizing thing.
If you become an ally, it will be very morale-boosting.
Fighting with such a legion will definitely give you a sense of security.
Compared with this ancestral spirit army composed of Kentana barbarians, another tiger army is also full of characteristics. Their war beasts armed to the teeth not only have a huge size beyond ordinary people's imagination, but also have abilities beyond them.
The intelligence in his cognitive range and the look in his eyes towards the Byron people are exactly the same as those of the Eternal Night soldiers, and they have an air of superiority to them.
It's uncomfortable to hold back the fire, but given the opponent's huge size, this evil fire can only be suppressed in the heart.
In terms of military strategy, the military staff led by Kelman have one, two or three main plans and four, five or six alternative plans, whether it is internal reorganization of the army or marching to fight. They basically consider everything that can be considered in advance.
When the time comes, the people below just need to follow the instructions and basically there won't be any big mistakes.
Although Amelia's acting style is at odds with the military staff represented by Kelman's main chief of staff, and there are often huge differences, she still highly recognizes the abilities they display most of the time.
Sophia Liya was able to integrate so many mixed strengths into one force, and they deserved the most credit.
Regardless of whether Amelia admits it or not, it is an undeniable fact that Sophilia came out again this time and relied on her far less than before. This made her feel a bit disappointed.
No matter how Amelia's mood fluctuated, the military discussion was still proceeding in an orderly manner.
"What I have just analyzed is only the most likely choice for the Eastern Front Army of the Theodin Empire led by Chief Hairidong." Kelman continued, "I will analyze our own strengths and weaknesses now.
The biggest problem is that the ingredients are too mixed and the good and the bad are mixed. A strong legion can overwhelm the other party locally, but the weak ones will be overrun by the other party.
This situation is especially obvious in field battles. In large-scale battles, the weak parts will become our Achilles' heel, once caught by the opponent.
At that time, it will not just be a matter of the weak part being eliminated, it will even involve the strong part of us.
Therefore, we must learn the tactics of male lions when facing a pack of hyenas, protect the weakest and most vulnerable part of the body, and always leave their sharpest claws outside.
This also determines that if we want to win, we must launch a defensive counterattack and lure Chief Hai Ridong to take the initiative to attack our temporary camp.
Simply waiting for the other party to make a decision due to internal reasons is a very passive thing and is not the wisest choice. We should take the initiative to encourage them to make such a choice."
"Chief of Staff, if you have any suggestions, please tell me." Sophilia looked like she was listening.
"Show the enemy weakness."
"How to show weakness to the enemy?"
"Take back the right army of the Broken Pulse Blood Cavalry, retreat the main camp thirty kilometers, and let Chief Hai Ridong lead the eastern army to advance westward."
"Let them go west?"
"It's not really about letting them go west, but we want them to go west and join forces with Ulan Bage to attack Wang Ting's new army. This will naturally achieve the purpose of showing the enemy weakness and make them mistakenly think that we think we are strong.
We are not as good as them, we don’t want them to attack us, thus increasing the possibility of them coming to attack us.”
"If their eastern army has the strength to eat us, there is no need to help Ulan Baz and increase his brilliant achievements. Compared with assisting, how can it be more attractive to lead the way alone and achieve brilliant results?
This will strengthen their determination to attack us instead of leading their troops westward."
"This is exactly the reason. It doesn't matter even if they don't fall into the trap. We still have the right army of Guankou Xueqi. When the time comes, we will bite them to death behind them. The main force will slowly push up and block their way back east. As long as
If we are still behind them, they will not be able to let go and attack Wang Ting's new army with all their strength, and the pressure on Wang Ting's side will not be as great as imagined."
Sophilia and Kelman asked and answered questions quickly.
A complete military strategy was placed in front of everyone.
He completely calculated the temperament of Chief Hai Ridong and the internal conflicts of the Theodin Empire. It can be said that every step was calculated.
Many generals couldn't help but change their positions. If they were to assume the role of Chief Hai Ridong, there would be a high chance that they would fall into the scheme.
Sophilia finally asked: "According to the internal evaluation of your military staff department, what is the success rate of this kind of plan?"
This question is obviously more expert, showing that she has a very good understanding of the internal operations of the Yongye Army's military staff, because although this kind of internal evaluation has been around for a long time, it is only used as a reference basis within them and has never been used.
Data will be released to the public.
"Seventy percent." Kelman's chief of staff hesitated and gave a conservative figure.
"The success rate is 70%, which is enough for us to give it a try." Sophilia gave the order very decisively, "I will give you one day. Before sunrise tomorrow, I will see a more detailed battle plan and at the same time order all the ministries.
, make preparations for a strategic retreat. Today’s military meeting is completely confidential. You are not allowed to reveal a word to the people below. If the news leaks out and affects the overall plan, don’t blame my sword for not being sharp."
"Yes." All the generals stood up at the same time to accept the order.
That night, rumors spread in the Sophilia military camp, and news about their strategic retreat spread throughout the military camp.
Not to mention those farmers without any military literacy, even many regular soldiers did not know this was a strategy. They really thought that the Odin Orcs were too powerful and they could not resist it and had to make an emergency retreat.
In the panic, it naturally caused quite a commotion.
In order to make this scene more realistic, Sophia Liya not only did not send anyone to stop it, but instead added fuel to the flames from behind, spreading some false remarks in an instructive way. I believe that it will not take long for this information to be passed to the east of the Theodin Empire.
Face the army and mislead them further.
The broken veterans mixed in the army are enough to control the entire army to prevent this chaos from completely getting out of control. They are veterans of hundreds of battles, and they do not change their expressions even when facing Odin orcs several times their size.
, and just retreated from the front line of fighting, how could he lose his sense of proportion because of a little rumor?
There was more confusion and anger in my heart.
Withdrawing them from the broken line of defense, they could understand that after all, the castle and fortress they were stationed in had become a lonely fortress, a dead place, and supplies were exhausted, so there was no point in holding on.
The top priority is to retreat, reorganize the team, and reorganize the defense line.
But now they have not fought a battle, and they have not even seen the large army of Odin's orcs, so they havetily retreated thirty kilometers. What is this?
Many people inevitably wonder in their hearts, could it be that Princess Sophia is not worthy of her name and her skills are not as tough as the legend says?
Or is it that after marrying and becoming a mother, the edges have been smoothed out?
It's just that as professional soldiers, the instinct to obey orders has penetrated deep into their bones.
Even if they have doubts in their minds, once the order is given, they will carry it out truthfully.
In particular, the well-trained Blood Cavalry Right Army, the Eternal Night Army, and the Iron Rose Knights all faithfully carried out Sophia Liya's orders, and they set a certain example. Overall,
, when the real retreat comes, it can still be done in an orderly manner.
It's just that the retreat was too hasty, and some materials that were inconvenient to transport were still left on the same place. Those that could easily create enemies were directly burned.
Haste also has its advantages. By the time Chief Hai Ridong, the supreme commander of the Eastern Army of the Theodin Empire, received the news, Sophilia's army had already withdrawn to its destination and set up camp again, like a coiled snake.
There was no time to send out troops to pursue, so the Orc Rangers scattered outside and pursued spontaneously, but the final result was just to deliver food to the right army of the Broken Mouth Blood Cavalry.
"Retreat without fighting? Why did they do this?" The wrinkles on Chief Haidong's old face were wrinkled.
Now for him, the biggest enemy is not Ulan Baz, but his age. After all, he is an old man who fought with Ulan Baz's grandfather.
