The old priest laid a map on the table: "I have three strategies here: upper, middle and lower. It depends on which one Young Master Chi chooses."
The other officers and cadres in the tent didn't say anything, but they had to be convinced in their hearts. They didn't expect that at such a critical moment, this guy could actually provide three different options.
"What's the best option? Look at the map. We all know that the Fanos Army must have suffered heavy losses after the battle with the Northern Federation Army. After so many months of repairs, they should be near us now, waiting for the opportunity for a decisive battle.
Where will they be?" The old priest pointed to the east coast: "They must still be on the east coast. It is convenient to mobilize people and horses, and it is also convenient for Fanos Continent to replenish them. As for the west, because one side is directly connected to the Imperial Forest.
The defense zone is adjacent to the boundary, and it is impossible for the enemy to make large-scale movements here. Therefore, my idea is that we immediately go west from here. It will take us about 15 to 20 days to enter the boundary forest defense zone, where there is an imperial
A complete war zone. We will definitely be able to obtain supplies on the spot, then follow the boundary forest to the north, and finally attack Ulu City along the mainland highway."
When Tayang said these words, his face showed a rare seriousness: "Zhongce, we have more than 600 vulture knights and 6 or 7 phantom beast knights in our hands. These knights can raid more than 200 miles in a day.
According to my understanding, the Holy See can implement the low-water policy for 100 to 200 miles along our route. We have now entered the densely populated area of Huayu Plain. If we go further, we have entered the semi-agricultural area. Every 30 miles here must be
There will be a village. I think that by sending the Vulture Knights to raid each small town, and with Elder Qingluo in charge, it will be difficult for the enemy to sneak attack them. After obtaining supplies in the small town, the expeditionary force will move closer to them."
"The next step is to make a decision. The current supplies are enough to consume 5,000 people for a month. Then, disband... no... order the allied troops of the expeditionary force to advance westward, destroy all the buildings along the way, and finally merge with the Jielin theater. The expeditionary force headquarters is lightly equipped.
Go forward and penetrate the Huayu Plain in the shortest possible time." After speaking, Tayang looked at Chi Aotian from the corner of his eyes.
Chi Aotian lowered his head and listened, his two thumbs constantly pushing each other, as if he was having an ideological struggle in his heart.
After a full 10 minutes, Chi Aotian stood up: "Mr. Tayang is right. I think the first one should be eliminated first." The officers of the Black Dragon Knights all guessed the result. Now, Marshal Chi Datong can
In Jie Lin, Chi Aotian has a natural fear of his father and grandfather. This expedition did not obtain the consent of the old man in advance. How can it be sent up now? The old man didn't take the handsome case and pulled him down for a beating.
?At least, it needs to be locked up for a few days.
"Let's give up the worst strategy. After all, if we only have 5,000 people, we don't have to hope to conquer any city with such a small number of people." Chi Aotian hesitated for a moment: "Let's implement the middle strategy as Mr. Tayang said."
Su Wen took a long breath. He was the one who most hoped to implement the middle strategy. Only in this way could he ensure that his subordinates would not be separated. Only in this way could he avenge his comrades in the most direct way.
Xue Hen: "General Chi Er, I also think that the middle strategy mentioned by the military advisor is the best. I would like to make two additional comments. First, I suggest that the Black Dragon Knights, as a central army unit, use as few large-scale movement tactics as possible.
In terms of tactics, we must recharge our batteries to prepare for a battle with the most elite troops of the Holy See. I am willing to lead the allied forces to continuously move on the Flower Language Plain and send food and grass back to the Chinese army. Secondly, in order to increase supplies, I also suggest
The Allied forces formed a hunting group. In fact, there were quite a lot of bison and wild horses on the Huayu Plain, and most of the Allied forces were herdsmen. They were all familiar with hunting. They selected a few hundred-man teams to specifically hunt during the march. More or less, they could
Ease it a little. Moreover, this can also improve the combat effectiveness of the Allied Forces." Su Wen's intention in saying this was quite obvious, and everyone in the room understood what he said.
Qingluo, the protagonist in question, slightly moved his brows: "Well, let me make some suggestions. This operation will be completely carried out by our battalion. I don't think any villages or towns can stop us at night." If He Chang
Qing cooperated with him. His murderous intent was too strong. I don't know how many villages were destroyed in one day. All were dispatched by the elves. Maybe a village could be conquered without killing anyone. This was the truest thought in Qingluo's heart.
Qing Luo's argument was immediately approved. This was the best suggestion. No flying knight dared to challenge the vulture elf archers in the night sky.
"When will the Fanos army fight us decisively?" Chi Aotian asked next. This is not because Chi Aotian doesn't like to use his brain. This method of discussion is very common in the small mercenary group system. That is, as the top cadre
After summoning the main subordinates, they sat down in a casual manner - instead of the long table meeting that is common in the army. Everyone discussed the enemy's situation in a casual chat mode, not one person speaking in a hall but a group of people speaking in a hall. In the end, the top cadres chose the better mode.
.
The model of the small mercenary group was praised by later generations of military scientists as "the first of its kind." As for why this new meeting model was adopted, according to the memories of the main mid-level cadres in the early days of the small mercenary group, there were two reasons: internal and external.
Different factors. The external reason is that although the small mercenary group is not big in the early stage, there are many people who can speak in it. It seems that Amy is the leader, but in fact, whether it is General Chi Hanfeng or
Magister Leige and even Barbas, Long, Mo Ye, etc. could "bully and tease" Captain Amy in public at any time. Later, Amy went missing again. During the most important period, the servant
Chi Aotian, Da Qingshan, Horns, Her Majesty Queen Lingbao and many others in the Corps all have the right to speak at the meeting - Da Qingshan originally had the decision-making power, but unfortunately he always gave up on his own initiative. In this case
Next, this discussion model was widely promoted. Regardless of whether the opinion is correct or not, it will naturally become clear if it is discussed; as the internal reason, it is Amy. Amy is a very cautious person and rarely makes mistakes due to subjective reasons.
Based on the experience of the small mercenary group after adopting this model, Amy summed up a very classic saying: "In this world, there are actually no particularly outstanding people, especially in the military. The so-called victory by surprise is just that they are good at it."
It's just taking advantage of the opponent's general's blind spots. No matter how good a famous general is when using troops, if there are 10 ordinary officers who carefully think about all aspects, most of them can guess the opponent's intentions. Well, if 10 people are not enough, 20 people will come
If you guess, there will never be a time when you can't guess."
This is why a seemingly unruly person like Chi Aotian can tolerate Tayang's bad attitude in similar military meetings - similar scenes have happened many times in the small mercenary group before, and everyone can guess that it has already happened
Therefore, how will Sir Chi Hanfeng treat poor Amy, Da Qingshan, Chi Aotian, Horns and others? Compared with him, Tayang... is still a pretty cute baby, at least,
He wouldn't put a basin of ice and snow into someone else's bed.
Chang Qing Huo De stood up: "Deputy Commander, how about I lead the mercenary brothers to expand the patrol area. If I see the enemy, then I will burn them to death!" Seeing that the task was passed to him, Qing Luo gave it to him in a few words.
After that, Chang Qing was in a very bad mood at this time. It was just that the young man could not express it in words out of respect for the elders.
"Have a rest. How come there are idiot subordinates like you under Golden Brain Amy, and you are also called the captain? If you are allowed to lead an army, the enemy will not be able to burn incense?" The one who spoke harshly was naturally Ta.
Yang Chang Qing was also one of the people who couldn't offend the old pastor. He imitated the leader and touched his nose and sat down helplessly.
After Tayan vented his anger, he kept twisting a small red and black bean in his hand: "I think that in order to defeat us in one fell swoop, the enemy must need 40,000 to 50,000 people. With so many troops gathered together, probably
It doesn't take too long, maybe... it's just this period of time." Under the light, the old priest stood like a statue for a few minutes, then leaned down and pointed on the map: "Let's take a look.
, our current position is here -" The thick finger pointed at the middle of the map: "500 miles due north in front of us are the Sanggan River and the Lion River, the eastern section of the two major rivers, the Sicily River, which is the natural danger of the Eminor continent.
One, if my guess is right, then...the enemy will make some preparations here. The saying is that the right time is not as good as the right place, huh..."
"What do you mean, your Excellency?" Chi Aotian did not lower his head to look like other officers. This map had already been turned over by the young man.
"Pull, pull quickly. Now we are all heading east or west, marching continuously for more than 500 miles. Then, the enemy will inevitably be disrupted by us. If the enemy really dares to chase us, I think, with the arms of the expeditionary force,
Advantage, huh... I don't believe that I won't tire these bastards to the point of vomiting blood." The old priest showed a sinister smile.
"Agree, tomorrow, we will march eastward at a speed of 150 miles. Mr. Qingluo, you have a hard time tonight." Seeing that the other officers had no objections, Chi Aotian stood up and gave the order. Qingluo immediately left, leaving only two groups of Elf Wild Vulture Knights.
, and quickly disappeared with the other tribesmen.
After the old priest and Su Wen left the commander's tent, they bumped heads and headed northeast from here, quickly approaching the Holy Desert Empire. On the continent of Eminor, the Holy Desert Empire was the only country that did not believe in the God of Light.
, Moreover, it is extremely dry there and is not suitable for the Fanos army to fight at all. It seems that Chi Aotian has already had his own ideas on this matter. Yes, the descendants of the Chi family seem to be born to lead the army in battle.
The second son of the Chi family is also considered outstanding among them.
Early the next morning, before dawn, the expeditionary force set off immediately and headed northeast in a mighty manner. During the formation of the expeditionary force before, it basically followed the standard marching distance of 60 miles every day. Summer 1, Year 6 of the Magical Calendar
On March 10, Chi Aotian's army marched 160 miles in one day and did not set up camp until 7 p.m. that day.
On January 11th, Chi Aotian's army marched 150 miles eastward and met up with Qingluo's troops in Xiaozao Town. In addition to leaving 10 kilograms of food for each local resident, they also swept away 200,000 kilograms of food and Xiaozao.
Of the more than 3,000 residents of the town, more than 600 people were carried away, and more than 2,500 other residents fled to other places overnight.
On January 12th, Chi Aotian's army marched 170 miles northeast.
On January 13th, Chi Aotian's army marched 150 miles northeast. It reunited with Qingluo's troops again and carried 100 people and 40,000 kilograms of food in an unknown town.
At 2 o'clock in the middle of the night on January 13th of the Magic Calendar, most of the soldiers of the expeditionary force had been marching for several days in a hurry. They were exhausted and exhausted. Standing in the central square of the town, they could clearly hear the roar of mountains and tsunamis coming from all around the town. Not only
Not only humans snore, but even war horses and earth-moving dragons snore like thunder.
Suddenly, two black figures fell from the sky with a sharp whistle. The soldiers on duty rushed over with torches, and found two wild vulture elf knights jumping down from mid-air.
"Why are you disrupting the military camp without permission?" The squad leader on duty looked downcast. At night, he was most afraid of this kind of situation happening, which might even lead to vicious incidents such as bombing the camp.
The two elves ignored the officers in front of them at all, lit up the logo of the small mercenary group, and rushed towards the house where Chi Aotian was staying: "Deputy commander, deputy commander, there is an enemy sneak attack!"
In the silent night, the banging on the door and the slightly panicked voices of the two elves were extremely penetrating...
