Chapter 1210 The straw bag general
Looking at the fortress in the mountains in front of him, Ross had no clue, but he still tried to calm down. In order not to let others see him, he actually didn't know what to do. So Ross ordered his subordinates to cut down all the trees here and make a clearing of land to camp and camp.
After hearing the order given by Ross, the generals were quite dumbfounded and speechless. You are here to attack the enemy. You are facing the enemy here. What's the use of building a village?
You should know that these 10,000 people have only carried this food ration for a few days and some simple daily necessities. They are not ready to stay here for a long time, but now they are going to be put in a pass?
Moreover, in this place, all the better terrain is basically in the fortress opposite. The terrain on this side is very bad. Not only is the terrain low, but there is nothing to rely on. Moreover, the order issued by Ross is to let everyone cut down the trees in this place to process them and make a brigade with wood. Not to mention that the village cannot play a big role, just talk about this workload, which is not a very small workload.
Although there are some miscellaneous soldiers in this team who specialize in these miscellaneous things, the number is limited. If so many soldiers who usually specialize in martial arts do such things, they will have such a big complaint.
Under such circumstances, there is nothing to say, but Rose has the largest position here and has the power of life and death. These soldiers dare not refute him and can only cut down according to his orders. The three generals knew that Rose was narrow-minded. Even people like Arnold would want to frame him and take him down for his own benefit. If he offended this Rose, he would not give up and would cause trouble openly and secretly.
So these generals can only do things according to Ross' instructions, and in fact they have a more opinion of him in their hearts.
Arnold was above the fortress and kept watching Lewis and the others set up. Lewis said to Arnold, "Why don't we attack while they are not firmly established?"
Arnold shook his head and said to Lewis, "Do you think we're going to kill each other like this?"
Lewis was stunned for a moment, and then said, "We have no choice. If we don't resist, will we let them slaughter it? This is because they ignore the overall situation for their own benefit, but not because we ignore the overall situation. In this case, we can only be forced to fight.
What Liu Yi said is actually very reasonable, and it also represents the thoughts of the vast majority of people in Qian Feng's army. They were completely forced to resist, rather than taking the initiative to kill each other with the soldiers of the Freedom Alliance.
Arnold smiled self-deprecatingly, "
I was thinking too much, it was indeed... we were forced. If it weren't for them, we were still fighting for the alliance."
Arnold took a deep breath, then waved his head, and his eyes began to become firmer again, "No matter who it is, as long as he takes the initiative to fight us, he will be our enemy, and we must be eliminated resolutely."
When Lewis saw Arnold like this, he couldn't help but say to Arnold happily, "Arnold, you are back again. His previous depression really made the brothers very worried. It would be great that you could think like this. Brothers are afraid that you can't think too much and get stuck in the slightest."
"alright!"
Arnold said to Lewis, "Don't worry! No matter how I do, I will not treat the lives of so many brothers as a joke. In this situation, it is not that we want to fight, but that they want to fight. I can tell the difference."
But no matter how hard it is, Arnold still did not order the army to attack. According to his statement, first look at how the opponent did it. If they think this fortress is not easy to fight and retreat, it would be the best.
Although Lewis and others felt a little dissatisfied, thinking that since the other party had reached such a close position, they would never retreat easily without a single shot, but they did not make much statement. For many people, it can be understood. After all, everyone came out of the Liberty Alliance. As long as the other party did not fire the first shot first, they would not want to fight like this.
However, everyone also knows very well that waiting for the enemy to retreat on their own initiative is probably just a delusion. Judging from the appearance of these guys, they don’t look like the kind of people who easily retreat.
Ross really didn't expect that he ordered the cutting down of trees to build the camp, but the speed would be so slow that he did not do it until nightfall.
"Sir, the soldiers are already very tired..."
The officers under his command came to ask Ross for advice, implying that they needed to rest, and Ross was also in a difficult situation now. If he stopped like this, he could imagine how embarrassing it would be for an inexperienced officer like Ross.
So the current situation is very complicated. If he does not give orders and lets the soldiers stop and rest, then in the subsequent battle, he will probably be unable to command these soldiers even more. So Ross had no choice but to order everyone to set up a tent first, rest for a while, and prevent the enemy from launching sneak attacks.
By the time the camp was ready and some measures to prevent sneak attacks were done, it was already midnight. Then when the army rested until dawn, I found that I was busy all morning. Arnold, on the opposite side, did not send troops to take the opportunity to sneak attacks. During the day, under Rose's order, he continued to camp.
Set up a camp.
Once this camp was built, it took three days to build it. Although Ross felt a little more secure, when he looked at the tall and majestic fortress opposite, he felt that the camp was too simple. Just as he was about to order everyone to make the camp better, he heard someone around him say, "General, we don't have enough food."
Ross then woke up. It turned out that this time he was ordered to lead troops to wipe out Arnold. The army did not plan to station for a long time, so the daily necessities and rations he brought were only enough for a few days. Three days have passed, and these three days have been working hard again, so there is really not much left. If he does not attack again, it is very likely that he will become a team that has not fought for a battle but has retreated due to rations.
Ross could imagine that if this was the case, if he withdrew his troops, he would definitely become a laughing stock for others, so he immediately became a little anxious and ordered the army to gather.
But his subordinates said, "My commander, you cannot gather the army completely."
Ross patted his head, yes! There was no such a large open space here, and he could only gather in different regions. Now Ross didn't care much about it. He angrily ordered the army to launch an attack on the fortress immediately.
The officer asked Ross at a loss, "But how do we attack? Please come up with a charter!"
Ross realized that he had ignored it, so he said, "It's very simple. Just let the three generals lead their men to attack in turn, so that they can rest and attack."
The officer opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Ross' angry look, he finally said nothing and took the order to the three generals.
After receiving Ross' order, the three generals were immediately furious because Ross' order was simply clueless. This kind of wheel battle usually takes a rush when the defensive side is in danger, because rotating attacks can ensure the greatest offensive.
But now the siege battle has just begun. If you attack in turn, just imagine that the attack had some results, but it was immediately withdrawn. If another group of people came immediately, such a time of conversion would be very likely to waste the previous results. This is obviously not counting the soldiers under their three men. If this fight, how heavy the losses would be!
