Chapter 158: Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs
Although Cheng Yangbian is the maker of the plan and the controller of the overall situation, he also made it very clear that he does not understand the situation there, and Tiele and others will have to deal with it themselves.
But no matter what, the task is completed only if the water is released on time. If the water cannot be released by then, it will be useless.
Everyone had never seen so many good things, and they were all happily picking and choosing, but they heard Captain Tiele suddenly say: "We don't want anything, and we won't take anything! I only have one request, please find us one."
It’s a real caravan and they can ask us to escort them across the border.
Brothers, we won’t look like these things even if we take them. Even our weapons must be left behind. Also, before everyone goes back to wear their own rags, try to choose one from our trophies.
Just try to get a passable weapon.
My meaning is very clear. We are not going to fight, let alone have fun in the past. We want to keep a low profile and erase all traces of the Edge Army. Do you all understand?
What we play is a group of paupers who sell their lives for money. If anyone wants to let me know and kill everyone, I will stab him first!"
Xiao Zhenzi smiled bitterly and said: "You are making things difficult for me. I am the Minister of Finance. If you want money or things, you come to me. But what you are talking about puts me into your tasks."
!The war is coming, and I still have a lot of things to do!"
But Captain Tiele ignored him. After taking off all his weapons and uniform, he went to choose weapons from the trophies nearby and said coldly: "We will come to you before dawn, and arrange another sumptuous breakfast for us!
"
"I, you, I, alas!" Xiao Zhenzi was speechless, knocked out his teeth, swallowed it in his stomach, waved his hands and walked away angrily.
An older team member approached Captain Tiele and said, "Let me go, you just pointed your nose and scolded the Generalissimo during the day, and now you almost made the Minister of Finance cry. I really admire you!"
But Captain Tiele, who is usually very kind, was not in the mood to joke this time. Instead, he said coldly: "Let's complete the task first. I always feel that it won't be that easy this time. Let's wait until we come back to worry about everything."
When Huang Huai followed Master Huacai to the best place to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the sharp army was retreating steadily.
However, the casualty ratio is very obvious. The sharp army retreated in a planned and orderly manner, while the wild army was ambushed, intercepted, and counterattacked time and time again, as if they were just here to climb the pole and die.
From Huang Huai's point of view, if the sharp army had not been ordered to retreat step by step as planned, they would have been able to defeat these barbaric armies, and they might even have been annihilated.
Apart from anything else, the problem can be easily seen by looking at the casualties of the Sharp Army: there were very few serious injuries, not many minor injuries, and almost no deaths.
"They are just playing games on the battlefield, playing tricks on these barbarians." Master Huacai said. He came earlier and had already seen the problem.
"Yes, you are always right, so if I guess correctly, the Sharp Army will soon counterattack on a large scale. If the Savage Army is still so ineffective, the Sharp Army will not continue to retreat like this next time.
.”
Huang Huai was no longer hostile to Master Huacai, so he expressed his inner thoughts directly.
"Judging from the current situation, the Sharp Army's style of play is prepared for powerful enemies, but they seem to have obviously overestimated their enemies, or they have never attracted the attention of those real opponents, or they are in the Savage Army.
The masters are also deliberately showing weakness to the enemy, hoping that the sharp army will be careless.
So no matter what the situation is, the Edge Army needs to give them some clues. Only by beating them hard can we truly test the bottom line of the Savage Army. Anyway, that's what I think, and I don't know if it's right.
Maybe the Edge Army is more clever, so clever that we can’t even guess it.”
"No, they are as smart as you think. If I guessed correctly, they are doing this! I am still surprised. I don't know what happened to the intelligence in the past few days. Did they get it wrong or are they fooling me?
I, now I ask you to say this and you will understand everything.
My military intelligence office didn't lie to me. I blamed them wrongly. What they saw was true. The Edge Army had indeed penetrated behind the barbaric army. Their strategic deployment may have been in place. A full-scale counterattack will begin in these few days.
God, even today - right now!"
Just when Master Huacai raised his voice and suddenly exclaimed, Huang Huai also shouted with him: "Ah! It's started. This is not a counterattack. I was wrong. They are deliberately luring the enemy deeper. This
It's a huge ambush circle!
I was wrong, they are much smarter than I thought! The Edge Army is too powerful. What they want is not a temporary victory, not to hurt the barbarian army, but to eliminate the living forces of the barbarian as much as possible. They are in
Fight for the common people of the world!"
"Isn't it as noble as you said?" Master Huacai was a little disapproving. Seeing that Huang Huai was resigned to the defeat and even looked down in admiration, he couldn't help but defend him.
"The Edge Army is not that powerful. You just take a look and you can see everything. Even if it is not more powerful than them, at least it is similar to them."
"No, this is different. Being able to see it is completely different from being able to do it. Let's not say that I only know it by looking at the appearance. Even if I thought of it in advance, it was just a thought and a suggestion.
A staff officer is only a strategist at most, and those who can really do it are generals!"
Master Huacai's praise, criticism and comfort not only had no good effect, but also had the opposite effect of making Huang Huai feel even more inferior!
Seeing Huang Huai's painful look, Master Huacai felt that he was even more distressed than him, because this man was the most brilliant general in his hands. If even this Huang Huai was so ashamed, how powerful was the Sharp Army?
To what extent, how could his Donghai Kingdom expand its territory and unify the world?
Therefore, Master Huacai, who was a bit out of his mind, couldn't help but said: "Actually, you are right. Their Edge Army seems to be right, but it is uncertain whether they will suffer a big loss this time."
"What do you mean? Is the Savage Army deliberately showing weakness? Do they have a back-up plan? What else has your military intelligence department discovered?" Huang Huai smelled an ominous meaning in Master Huacai's words and asked quickly.
Master Huacai, who almost leaked the secret, was startled and suddenly had an idea and thought of a countermeasure.
