Chapter 306
Cross the sea.

This is the first of the 36 tricks. Concealing the sky is only a means, and crossing the sea is the ultimate goal. These four characters are metaphors for hiding one's true intentions from the enemy with lies and disguises, but secretly acting secretly.

Hand in the book first.

This is to create the illusion of longing for peace and lower the kingdom's vigilance.

Just imagine that the dynasty army is now besieged on all sides, ambushed on all sides, and there are no reinforcements, no supplies, and no meaning for war. It is no exaggeration to say that other than surrender is a dead word.

Therefore, anyone with normal thinking would feel that the Dynasty Army must surrender, and no one would doubt the reliability of this letter of surrender.

Besides.

Open the 4 city gates, place the war airship outside the gates, and expose all your actions to the sun. This is also to remove the last scruples of the kingdom.As a victorious kingdom, Veigar's bet was that they would not strike again at their disarmed opponents before the surrender ceremony.

When the enemy completely let go of their vigilance.

Veigar suddenly launched an attack on the eve of surrender, when the enemy was the most swollen, and would even celebrate victory in advance.There is no guarantee of using this unexpected method, at least it can achieve the effect of being unexpected and maximizing the chance of winning.

And none of the generals here are fools.

After being told by Vega, they certainly understand that although they can't guarantee that they will be able to successfully break through this time, they can maximize the success rate of this breakout by taking precautions.

need to know.

Before Veigar uttered the last sentence, even they thought that Veigar was about to surrender. This way of deceiving even their own people, let alone the Kingdom troops with their eyes darkened?
Therefore, the dynasty army began to cooperate with Veigar's actions.

In the evening of the same day, Callison delivered a request for surrender to the commander-in-chief of the Royal Army, Tenniel Rheinberg.

"Hahaha."

Tenniel opened the meeting with a big laugh: "Colleagues, everything is as expected by General English. The dynasty and the imperial army are unable to hold on and are ready to surrender."

"This time, the last nail was pulled out without a single soldier."

"General English's siege without attack is wonderful."

"It seems that the battle situation in the east will be completely stable in five days, and our army will not need to add any more casualties."

"..."

The people did not doubt the reliability of this letter of surrender at all, and there is no precedent for false surrender in Jialan's war history, so they all praised Ingril for being able to force the dynasty to surrender in this way without bloodshed , at least allowed them to reduce the loss of half of the army's troops.

But right now.

A staff officer in his 20s with the rank of lieutenant colonel asked a question: "My lord commander, is there any fraud in this?"

"Hahaha--"

The room was filled with laughter, and a major general staff looked at the young staff with caring eyes and said, "Since you said there was fraud, please tell me the reason why the Dynasty Army pretended to surrender? Is it because of ridiculous beliefs and oaths? ?”

The young staff officer was stunned speechless.

"Quiet, quiet."

Commander-in-Chief Tanier stopped everyone from bombarding the young staff officer: "Today is a happy day, so don't discuss this matter that is a foregone conclusion. Tonight I will hold a banquet to share the results of the battle. Please drink to your heart's content."

The high-level officials of the kingdom held a banquet.

The generals completely let go of the sense of urgency of the war, and even Ingril took a glass of wine with emotion and had a good drink.

But at this time of sharing joy, the young staff officer suggested to Tanier inappropriately: "My lord commander, although the dynasty has handed over the letter of surrender, but the official ceremony is five days later, should our army keep Basic vigilance, if the dynasty attacks our army at this time, it will definitely suffer heavy losses."

"Lieutenant Colonel, step back!"

The chief of staff saw that his subordinates were so ignorant, forget it the previous time, but this time he couldn't help but stand up and stop him directly, his face was a little embarrassed, after all, it was his subordinates who didn't look at the atmosphere.

"No problem, no problem."

Commander-in-chief Tanier smoothed things over: "The lieutenant colonel is showing his conscientiousness. Maybe the Dynasty Army is really just pretending to surrender, hahaha."

At the end, even Tenniel himself was amused by his own words.

So there was laughter at the banquet.

But at this time, the scouts rushed into the banquet: "The front line is urgent, the Dynasty Army has a new move."

wow-

The lively banquet fell into silence. Everyone was taken aback by the scouts. At the same time, they looked at the young staff officer. They couldn't help thinking that the crow's mouth might be right.

"What's going on at the front?"

Hearing the eager tone of several generals, the scouts did not dare to neglect: "Suddenly four gates of Tali City opened wide, and all the enemy's aviation units took off and landed in the open space outside the city."

"Are there any enemy troops attacking?"

"Not really, but..."

The first half of the scout's sentence made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but the second half of the sentence made everyone raise their hearts again.

However, the third sentence of the scout reassured them once again: "But the Dynasty Army only carried out weapons around the city for night training, without any intention of attacking, and the training troops did not exceed two regiments."

"Is there any other information?"

"Report to the generals, the enemy only has these movements."

When the scouts left the banquet, Tanier raised his glass again and smiled awkwardly: "Hahaha, everyone is nervous, the Dynasty Army is just showing us their determination and sincerity to surrender, so don't make a fuss."

Although he said so, the cold sweat on his forehead betrayed Tanier's nervousness.

But the other generals were not much better. They were all terrified by the young staff officers and scouts, but it was this "wolf is coming" that made them believe in the sincerity of the Dynasty Army's surrender from top to bottom. suspect.

As for the ignorant young staff officer?

The only discordant voice, unfortunately, has been assigned to the frontier by the chief of staff.

In addition, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the Royal Army headquarters did not control public opinion, so the news that the Dynasty Army immediately surrendered has spread throughout the army, and the gossip at the banquet was even known to everyone through the scouts.

From top to bottom, everyone relaxed their vigilance.

They are not surprised by the daily increase of the training troops of the dynasty, and they even say hello to the soldiers of the dynasty passing by occasionally. After all, the tense nerves are relaxed, and no one does not yearn for peace.

This harmonious atmosphere lasted until the fourth night.

That night, the kingdom held another banquet to make up for the regret that the previous banquet was almost broken up by the young staff officers and scouts, and tomorrow was the surrender ceremony, so there was nothing to worry about.

For this banquet, the chief of staff even ordered to prevent the scouts from entering.

This is true for high-level soldiers, let alone low-level soldiers.

The soldiers in charge of the night watch had already started gathering people to gamble. As for the patrolling war airship, there was not even a single one, and there was no one to supervise it anyway.

And it happened at 00:00 in the morning when the banquet reached its climax.

Veigar began to order the magician to secretly board the magic airship parked outside the four city gates, and the main force was assembled to break out towards the north gate.

Veigar didn't know whether this war could be won.

But he has already done what he should do, and whether he can succeed depends on whether Wang Guojun has given up his vigilance from top to bottom.
