Chapter 159 The Great War
Another military meeting was discussed, of course, their next tactical policy was their next tactical policy. First, the following people would report the current situation.
At present, the First and Second Joint Legion where Ye Junwen and his team are located is Edmead City. Because of the supplies in Edmead City, the food and grass are currently in sufficient condition. The soldiers have also repaired it a little and have returned to their best combat state. Therefore, the primary goal at present is naturally to resolve the crisis in the main city.
Judging from the reconnaissance in the past few days, there are currently two troops on the other side, the first of which is the Fifth Legion, who has fought a battle with them before. Although the United Legion won the final victory, it only temporarily repelled them. The opponent's main force still exists, and the commander General Conrad is also a not simple person.
The opponent's troops are now stationed in Maranville to the west. Although this city is not a big city like Edmede, it is not easy to capture. The walls are quite solid. If you want to attack the city, according to the general situation, you will not be able to defeat it for a month. The most important thing is that the city is at the pass they are heading to the main city, so if you want to go back to rescue, you must defeat the troops of the Fifth Legion.
The remaining unit of the rebels was a miscellaneous army. Although it was a miscellaneous army, it was just that there was no formal unit organization. His main force was actually Duke Seleto's private army, and then added other private army of those involved in the rebellion, and then recruited many other people. The personnel of this unit were messy and the combat power should not be too strong, but the number of people was relatively large. Duke Seleto was indeed very rich. Since he had already rebelled, he did not hide it anymore. He directly recruited a lot of people with money. In terms of counting the number of people, this unit was still very troublesome. Moreover, their equipment was quite good, and basically could keep up with the equipment of the army. After all, they were rich.
Now this army should be surrounding the main city and putting pressure on the main city. It will launch some attacks from time to time. However, in the current situation, it should be unlikely to capture the main city.
So in fact, the situation of the rebels is a bit embarrassing. If they want to capture the main city, the Fifth Legion's troops must go back and help. They are the main force of the battle. However, the Fifth Legion cannot evacuate here because it is necessary to block Ye Junwen's joint troops.
Of course, Duke Seleto has also discussed with General Conrad whether your troops will come back to attack the city, and then his miscellaneous troops are responsible for blocking Ye Junwen's troops. Although the miscellaneous troops may not be able to defeat it, there is no problem with blocking it. He still hopes to break through the main city as soon as possible.
However, this proposal was rejected by General Conrad. He said that the commander opposite Serina was definitely a troublesome person. With him, the miscellaneous army would definitely be defeated in a short time, and only he could block Ye Junwen's attack. So the final situation was like this, a little stiff.
At present, the rebels can only surround the main city, consume the city defense and food in the main city, and then check the situation.
This is the situation of the rebels, so they still have some time to repair it. After all, the rebels can't attack the main city. However, there will not be many during this period, because the soldiers in the main city have been defending for more than 20 days, and they are trapped in the crowd, which is really a bit unbearable. In addition, the rebels have been siegeing the city one after another, resulting in a lot of casualties. At present, the main city has begun to organize militia teams to assist in defense, which is a sign of reaching the limit. On the other hand, the main city is not as much food and grass as imagined. There is no problem with holding on for another half a month, but no matter how long they are, they can't hold on.
The coalition forces must also act as soon as possible. This meeting discussed how to act. At the beginning of the meeting, many generals still expressed their opinions, but after a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Junwen. After all, until now, the tactics of their troops were basically formulated by Ye Junwen, and they have been winning all the time, so they have also developed the habit of talking nonsense for a while and then listening to Ye Junwen's correct answer.
"I think everyone said it very well." Ye Junwen also stood up and said, "It's all very constructive opinions, but this time I won't use it."
Everyone showed such an expression, and then several of the generals asked, "Please tell me the leader of the army."
"You guys are really too timid. As for our current situation in the army, we can fight each other directly with the opponent. Why do we find so many tactics?" Ye Junwen said, "What are the detours, what are the temptations and ambushings, etc., which is the one that can't be used when there is a disadvantage?"
"..." The generals were a little speechless. Isn't this what you have been doing all the time? They also said it according to your thoughts.
"So we are going to face the rebels head-on this time?" asked a general.
"Of course." Ye Junwen nodded, "just straight forward."
"But the Legion Commander, although we defeated the rebels before, the opponent's troops did not suffer much losses. Now the size of the troops is comparable to ours. If we fight head-on with the opponent, our advantage is not great." A general next to him said.
"And the other side has another army, although it is a miscellaneous army, but it is a large number. The distance between the two troops is not very far. If this army also rushes to the battlefield, we will not be very dangerous."
"Look at you, your experience is really too short. Have you ever had any problems with the tactics I mentioned so far?" Ye Junwen said.
"This..." There is really no way for these generals to refute this. I don't know why the tactics they thought were stupid can be successfully implemented on Ye Junwen, but they can still win a great victory. To be honest, they don't understand this operation.
"What do you think of General Hejar?" Ye Junwen said to Hejar beside him. Of course, Ye Junwen dared not call him an old man or an uncle directly on formal occasions.
"I think General Serina is right." Hedgel nodded directly, "It is indeed a delicate tactical arrangement."
"..." All the generals were confused. There was no exquisite tactical arrangement here? Isn't it just a front-line approach? Although your record has been exaggerated so far, it cannot be said that everything is exquisite tactical arrangement.
"Since that's the case, we decided to use General Serina's tactics." Hedgell said, "Come, write a letter to Conrad opposite him, telling him that five days later, we will compete in Willes."
The generals were a little confused about what to say, and wrote a letter to the decisive battle? Indeed, someone did this a long time ago when fighting. They wrote letters on both sides, made an appointment for the decisive battle location, and then formed a formation there to fight to decide the outcome. However, how long ago did that? No one did this at all now, okay? In everyone's opinion, it was too stupid to do it. So what happened again? They really couldn't understand it.
However, although I can't understand it, the person who made the decision was the two legion commanders. They have the same opinion now, so what else can I say? This is the only way to do it.
"What the hell is going on?"
"I think there are probably some tactical arrangements, but I can't tell us." After the meeting, the two generals also discussed in a low voice. "You also know the situation before. I guess the two legion commanders have already discussed it, but I think we are mixed with spies, so we can't just explain the tactics publicly."
"That's right, abominable spy."
"It's really abominable, but it seems that the two generals already have a way, we can just obey our orders."
It is true that this situation has caused a headache for the spies. They passed the news to General Conrad over there, but they don’t have to wear this news at all. Isn’t this the challenge book already put on his desk, and I can’t finish reading this.
General Conrad, who received the letter, also felt that Ye Junwen and his tactics were definitely not that simple. They probably had other arrangements, because according to his previous research on Ye Junwen's tactics, they have used surprising winning tactics so far. He doesn't seem to like to fight head-on, so how could he suddenly change his personality?
After thinking a little, General Conrad decided to see the situation. On the one hand, he also wrote a letter to respond to Hegar, saying that if you want to fight head-on, we will fight head-on, and the winner will be decided in five days. On the other hand, he is also arranging other strategies, and he will never be tired of deceitful soldiers. Of course, he must make his own arrangements.
Of course, by the way, he also asked the spies in the United Army to quickly check what tactics the other party was preparing to use, pay attention to various intelligence, and report to him any abnormal movements. Of course, the spies who received the news also began to collect intelligence seriously. As a result, because of this reason, Ye Junwen and the others discovered many spies mixed in their army. In a few days, they had cleared up a wave of internal damage.
So soon, five days passed, and General Conrad still did not receive any useful news, and his reconnaissance troops were sent out in large quantities, but they could not see any abnormal movements from the United Army. All the troops were staying in the city and never came out.
