I traveled through time and became a slave, and the noble lady was obsessed with me

Chapter 489 A long night

"I really don't understand why you leave a 20-meter-high fortified city undefended and take the initiative to abandon your own advantages and go head-to-head with the orcs."

"Your strategy from the beginning was wrong."

"What we want to guard is not the passage in front of the city, but the Deep Valley City itself."

"We must take the initiative to open the wooden doors on both sides and bring the battle line in!"

There was a deathly silence in the room.

Casey and Marcus, as well as several officers who joined silently, all had their eyes widened at this time, and they were a little confused.

Why do we say that the advancing army is not an army that can defend the city.

When Chen Fan was in the temporary camp and heard about the casualties of the advancing army in the past few days, he already realized that they had been led astray by Sharon.

The idea of ​​advancing the army to defend the city was already a huge mistake.

They felt that they wanted to defend Deep Valley City, and this required blocking the enemy from the passage in front of Deep Valley City.

The passage of several hundred meters allowed the advancing army to form an offensive formation.

Sharon's habitual method is to take the initiative to create a distance and have a head-on fight with the opponent.

This is what Chen Fan wants to complain about the most.

In this era without artillery, military fortresses like Deep Valley City, which were built with heavy bluestone strips, were difficult to destroy from the front.

Why didn't the last time the orcs captured Deep Valley City choose to destroy Deep Valley City directly?

It's because they can't destroy such a strong city at all!
Therefore, we could only destroy the wooden doors on both sides and open two holes.

"If we place our battle lines at the gates on both sides of Deep Valley City, that means we only need to defend two six-meter-wide defense lines!"

"With the size of the orcs and the six-meter-wide defense line, how many people can they block? Twenty or ten?"

"This means that what we have to face is not hundreds of thousands of orcs, but an attack of only twenty orcs at a time."

"We only need to guard the passages on both sides and the front wall to guard the entire defense line!"

Chen Fan's voice fell, making the place extremely quiet, so quiet that even a needle could not be heard.

This is the same reason why in the past, the 10,000 defenders of Deep Valley City were able to keep it airtight.

The advancing army's strategy is totally wrong!

But under the leadership of Sharon, the entire legion chose to believe in the leader and followed the leader's ideas to defend the city.

Too much trust in one person will lead to the fact that even if he makes wrong arrangements, the people under him will not react.

"As a minimum number, we only need a thousand people to form the first layer of defense."

"And with this kind of defense line, we can now form thirty layers!"

"Tell me, why can't you defend Deep Valley City?"

Chen Fan has not yet finished talking about the many advantages of defending the city.

With 30,000 people, they can be constantly rotated. The tired soldiers at the front will immediately retreat and be replaced by other soldiers.

This ensures that the soldiers at the front are always full of strength.

The orcs were crowded into the canyon passage, and those at the front were unable to step back and change.

They will face each other like an iron wall that never tires!

Casey was silent for a long time, and finally sighed deeply.

"We were wrong, so wrong."

The other party can also take the initiative to admit their mistakes, which is the best start.

At this time, Chen Fan did not continue to hide it.

He glanced at the officers present. "Before I came to Deep Valley City, I had already started researching everything about this place."

"Whether it's any corner, a tactic, or an arrangement for defending the city."

"These things have long been deeply ingrained in my mind."

"If you believe me, I can assure you that I am capable enough to defend this city."

"But I must ask you to obey my orders!"

Chen Fan's attitude was sincere, and there was no joke on his serious face.

If you want to defend this city, the first thing you need is to be able to control the entire city's troops.

If even your own people are disobedient, how can you stop the orcs?
The officers of this group of advancing legions are the ones who really control the troops here. If they have their approval, it will be of great help to Chen Fan in commanding the troops.

Casey looked at Chen Fan blankly.

After Sharon fell, Casey always had the idea in his mind to create a character who could replace Sharon and become the new pillar of the advancing army.

Originally, Casey chose Marcus for this choice.

It's just that although Marcus tried very hard, he still couldn't bear the burden of advancing the army.

But now, Casey suddenly found that he seemed to have seen a more suitable candidate.

Something suddenly came to mind in Casey's mind.

On the night after Sharon met Chen Fan, he once expressed that he wanted to draw Chen Fan into the advancing army.

At that time, Casey only thought that Sharon had seen a good prospect and simply wanted to draw Chen Fan into the advancing army.

But now, Casey understood.

Sharon wanted to bring in the oriental young man in front of him and train him as his heir.

In such a large advancing army, Sharon could not find anyone who could support this burden, but he saw this potential in Chen Fan.

It turned out that this was the person chosen by the group leader.

"Are you willing to be the new commander of our advancing army?"

Casey's words made Chen Fan slightly absent-minded.

Directly make yourself the leader?

To be honest, Chen Fan only thought about being recognized by most of the legion officers and being able to command this battle so that he could show off his talents.

Chen Fan really had never thought about the position of the leader of the Advance Legion.

After all, you have to know how many battles every legion commander has gone through before he can sit in this position.

It can only be said that the moment Chen Fan appeared in the advancing legion was the moment they needed a new leader the most.

Before Chen Fan could say anything, there were officers beside him who were anxious.

"Deputy Captain Casey, how can you make such a decision alone? You are just a teenager!"

This kind of thing, even if Casey is the second-in-command, will still make his subordinates question it.

But Casey just asked a question.

"The regiment leader is no longer here. Either the forwarding corps should be completely cancelled, or a new regiment leader should be elected."

"Among us, can we still select those who can hold the advancing legion?"

"Or do you want someone from above who you have never seen before to be the new leader?"

"I can tell you that Chen Fan is the person chosen by the group leader."

The previous words made others want to say something, but the last sentence directly silenced everyone.
