Chapter 737
Housman presented the Rebels with three options.

The first option is to attract the attention of the imperial army head-on, and secretly organize troops to attack the rear granary.

Once the granary is broken, the bloated imperial army will have to retreat.

The second option is to drag the enemy into the quagmire of street fighting.

Make the opponent's air force and mage group unable to play, and rely on hand-to-hand combat and almost unlimited sources of troops to stop the imperial army.

The third option is to break it up into pieces and fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy in the city.

Although at the level of warfare of the rebels, they don't know how to fight east and west, nor what street warfare is, nor what guerrilla warfare is, but this does not prevent them from knowing that Housman is very powerful.

Don't ask to know.

Their helpless imperial army, in the hands of others, can think of three ways to repel the opponent at will, which is enough to show how powerful this general named Housman is.

To a great extent...

At least a bit stronger than their leader.

Thinking back carefully, before organizing the rebel army, the leader was at best a company commander and a low-level officer of the empire, while Housman was a five-star general of the empire at the time. Doesn’t the difference emerge from this comparison?

So for Housman's three strategies, they are blindly confident.

"I think street fighting is more reliable."

A senior officer said: "Before I joined the rebel army, my favorite thing to do was to call up a few brothers and drag the opponents into the alleys to kill them. I know the streets and alleys of the city of war best."

"Do you have any misunderstandings about street fighting?"

A staff officer wearing glasses said: "Street fighting refers to occupying commanding heights and large buildings. If the enemy uses mages and air forces, our soldiers can hide in basements, large buildings, and air-raid shelters. Once the enemy army attacks on a large scale, We can engage in close combat, so that the enemy's elemental mages and war airships dare not release magic casually."

"What commanding heights, what large buildings?"

The five big and three rough officers were confused when they heard it. He was born as a local ruffian, and he really couldn't understand these professional terms, so he made a fuss and said stubbornly: "In short, I think street fighting is reliable."

"I think guerrilla warfare is more appropriate."

The staff officer obviously has a certain degree of military education. He pushed his glasses and said: "90.00% of our soldiers are composed of civilians here. Once they are broken down, the enemy will not be able to distinguish who is a civilian and who is a soldier. Use Based on the principle of guerrilla warfare, the imperial army either chooses to massacre the city, or they can only choose to retreat."

"I think the first strategy is more subtle."

A middle-aged officer at the end stretched his brows: "Our rebel army's combat style has always been straightforward. It is impossible for the empire to expect us to use this tactic. Once the logistical supplies are destroyed by us, the imperial army will not temporarily withdraw from the war The city will even be forced out of the entire northwest and retreat to the central part."

hiss--

Everyone gasped: "Is the first strategy so powerful?"

Most people don't understand the power of it. After all, what tactics, theories, and strategies are too advanced for the rebel army. Go straight, or hit the other side to death, or hit the head with blood. Flow is their style.

So regarding the three strategies, the high-level rebels actually quarreled.

Some like the first one, some like the second and third, and they can't form a unified point of view for half an hour.

At this time, Coverdale suddenly spoke.

He looked at Housman and said: "Your Excellency, please forgive me, can we implement three strategies at the same time without making a choice?"

After the voice fell, the conference room suddenly fell into silence.

Then there was a burst of jokes from everyone: "Master, you are too greedy. Although I don't know how to operate it, can we really execute three plans at the same time with our military strength?"

"You can't chew more than you can chew, so don't be in vain at that time."

"That's right, it's safer to be more specific."

Everyone thought that Coverdale was joking, and didn't take it seriously.

But Housman applauded at this time: "As expected of the leader, you can understand the mystery so quickly. These three strategies can be separated and implemented separately, of course, they can also be implemented at the same time."

Coverdale was shocked when he heard this.

He said tremblingly: "These three strategies are not..."

As if realizing something, Coverdale stopped talking.

Because he suddenly realized that the combination of these three strategies is not a strategy to temporarily repel the imperial army, but a winning strategy to press the imperial army to death here in one go.

Take a look at the three policies together.

Keep a part of the main force with rich combat experience, and break it up into parts, and the other half with no combat experience will act as a guerrilla army. The combination of the two can drag the imperial army to the city of war, and play with the enemy for more than half of the time. Moon's peek-a-boo.

at this time.

Sending an army secretly to attack the granaries in the rear, or even the air port, will be able to cut off the supplies of the imperial army.

An army of a million without supplies is fatal.

What choice will the empire make at this time?

Of course only retreat.

But if the millions of troops trapped in the city of war want to retreat at this time, the guerrilla army and the main force can gather immediately, close the door, and drag the imperial army here.

It doesn't have to be ten days, or even seven days.

Within five days, if the supplies of the Imperial Army run out, the entire army will collapse without a fight.

the most important is.

Even if the sneak attack strategy failed and the street fighting was resolved by the imperial army, they still had a guerrilla tactic that was absolutely impossible to crack to force the imperial army to withdraw from the city of war.

After all, it is impossible for the imperial army to massacre the city, and without massacring the city, it will never be able to crack the guerrilla tactics of the rebel army.

If you advance, you can take down the million-strong army of the empire, and if you retreat, you can regain control of the city of war.

At this time, Coverdale remembered that Hausman told everyone that he was repelling the Imperial Army, but he did not make a promise to defeat the Imperial Army.If this winning strategy is really successful, what kind of impact will it have on the entire army when the millions of imperial troops are defeated in the city of war?
no doubt.

The morale of the whole army, and even the whole city, will skyrocket to an unprecedented level.

This is not only designing the enemy, but also including his teammates who are too stupid to understand the strategy.

"Is this the true strength of a five-star general?"

Coverdale was a little ashamed for a while. Compared with these strategies, he suddenly felt that it was a miracle that he was able to survive to this day with the rebels running around.

"That's it."

Coverdale made a final decision: "We use three strategies together to defeat the Imperial Army!"

"My lord, you are wrong, it is repelling, not defeating..."

An officer who didn't understand a little bit of the strategy at all corrected Coverdale's words wisely, and Coverdale could only nod his head resentfully.
