Blood Dragon

Section 290 Explanation

"Time?" Robin still didn't understand what Belle meant.

"Well, time. For some people." When he said this, Belle's face was full of a smile, but it contained a sense of hatred. "Time is meaningless. For example, the two armies will have a decisive battle in a few days. Maybe some generals will do nothing but wait anxiously for the opportunity to wield their swords and guns. But really smart people will make full use of these few days. ..."

"But General, what can be done in this situation? Could it be that fortifications are set up on the battlefield? This is impossible!" Robin shouted.

"Of course not setting up fortifications... After all, this is also possible, but it is more difficult. Hey, you can't expect your enemy to be a fool... But he can get a more favorable strategic situation."

"What kind of strategic posture?"

"Based on our current situation, our General Aishuruffat has at least three options. The first is to advance steadily, approach the Gaohua City to clear the siege, be neither arrogant nor impetuous, and look for a decisive battle. There is no disadvantage in doing this, but There are no advantages. In short, the final result is likely to be that the two sides will compete with real swords and guns on a certain plain near Gaohua City. .”

"The second option is to advance steadily, but not seek a decisive battle. Build a strong fortress to contain the enemy's siege operations... In short, patiently compete with the enemy for logistics. I personally think that this method has a better chance of winning-but there are still hidden dangers. Because the outcome of the battle is likely to depend on the logistical defense battle... The Chaos Legion will definitely try to destroy our army's supply line. This kind of battle will become a melee between thousands of people... The battle of thousands of people will determine the outcome of 10 The outcome of tens of thousands of people. However, in a battle with thousands of people, Chaos has a great advantage... After all, we cannot deny that their soldiers are stronger and better at fighting... In short, although this tactic has a higher chance of winning, I personally estimate that it is [-]% to [-]%, but it is doomed that the final victory is only a small victory. The main force of the Chaos Legion can definitely retreat back to White Castle safely, and there will be a new invasion in a short time."

Baylor patiently explained, and Robin nodded vigorously.

"The final choice is more interesting. The whole army no longer sticks to Gaohua City, but circles a little bit, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Chaos Legion's division of troops and being unable to move, quickly detour to the rear of the Chaos Legion and cut off the Chaos Legion's retreat. Then we chose a favorable terrain and waited for a decisive battle with the Chaos Legion! The Chaos Legion was cut off by our army, and they will definitely abandon Gaohua City, and turn around to fight me."

"Ah!" Robin understood instantly. "It turns out that this is the case. If this is the case...the Chaos Legion must fight a decisive battle on the battlefield chosen by our army."

Robin has also studied military theory, so he understands how beneficial it is for the army to be able to actively choose the battlefield.The environment of the battlefield, that is, the "geographical advantage" mentioned in military books, can often play a big role.In fact, this does not require any particularly advanced theory, but an obvious fact.For example, everyone admits that cavalry is stronger than infantry, and the number of cavalry in an army is an important basis for combat strength.However, when the two armies fought on a narrow battlefield, the cavalry would be completely crushed and beaten by the infantry.

"Not only that, but because our side occupies the enemy's retreat, things will become... Once the enemy is defeated by our army, it will completely lose the possibility of retreating back. The first tactic I just mentioned, if we If our army wins, the Chaos Legion should lose more than half of it. The second tactic, if our army wins, the Chaos Legion will lose [-]%... As for the last one, if our army wins, then the Chaos Legion will be completely wiped out. It’s the same with our army who came over.”

"But..." Robin was already a little excited, "This is a good tactic, why hesitate?"

If our army can cut off the retreat of the Chaos Legion, Robin thought, that means cutting off their logistics supply line, and they don't have the ability to capture Gaohua City in a short time (the previous siege battle has already demonstrated this point), the only The choice is to withdraw from the siege, turn around and fight our army decisively.At that time, our army will have at least three to five days to set up the battlefield, which means that we will have plenty of time to build fortifications, and at the very least, we can build trenches and parapets to protect our artillery and musket troops from exerting their power.Think about it, how much advantage they will have in this way.

"Robin," Baylor sighed visibly this time. "Just like what I taught you before, think a little more, think a little more, especially think about the details. Remember what I told you before, on the battlefield, you can only rely on the strong to bully the weak, not the weak to defeat the strong. If If anyone wins over the strong with the weak, it means that through correct deployment and the enemy's mistakes, he has formed a de facto outnumbered against the few... In specific battles, on the front line, there will always be only relying on the strong to bully the weak, only Outnumber the few!"

"My lord general, can you explain in detail?" Robin still couldn't figure out what the general's concerns were.Such a good tactic can only be used by fools.It takes three to five days to set up the battlefield, what an advantage this means!

"If we are... a civil war between the Seven Kingdoms this time, then I, or Ash Rufat, will choose this tactic without hesitation. But we are facing the Chaos Legion." Beler explained. "You know, the Chaos Legion...Although they are commanded by a Chaos Lord called 'Bloodfang Lord' on the surface, they are still a coalition army in essence. The ability to control multiple subordinates is not very strong. The four evil gods Subordinates... Even if many of them belong to a commander, they still hate each other, thinking that others are opponents fighting for power and stumbling blocks on the road to winning the favor of the gods. But if faced with the crisis of life and death, then the Chaos Legion may truly unite Get up. In this way, maybe their capture of Gaohua City will no longer be a problem!"

In the previous battle report from Gaohua City, although the fierce offensive of the Chaos Legion and the bloody battle between the two sides were recorded in detail, there are also some doubts.For example, the Chaos wizards have never contributed—observations from the city leaders show that a considerable number of Chaos wizards have joined the siege army, but in the magic battle, the magicians in Gaohua City have the upper hand.The defenders receive effective magical support every day, but the magic of the Chaos Legion rarely appears.In fact, on several occasions, the Chaos Legion was able to take this fortified city with just a little magical help.

The high-level leaders of the coalition agreed that this explained the contradictions within the Chaos Legion (this is also a common thing), so those wizards of Tzeentch are doing nothing.

"Ah..." Robin cried out.

"Once the Chaos Legion captures Gaohua City, they will be supplemented by the food and supplies hoarded in the city...then the situation of this battle will be completely reversed," Baylor said. "It will become that the Chaos Legion has enough patience to wait slowly, but our army has to take the initiative to fight... In other words, it will become the Chaos Legion to choose and arrange the battlefield. Similarly, if our army is defeated, our side will also There will be no way out and they will be completely annihilated... There should be only a few people who can escape this catastrophe. Gruni... I'm afraid it will become a historical term from now on!"

"I see!" Robin nodded. "In short, the rewards are great, but the risks are equally great."

"That's right." Belle nodded. "It's the same as doing business with a businessman. There is no need to urge others to buy and sell with benefits and no risks. Only those businesses with the same risks and benefits will make people think twice before investing in them!"

After speaking, Belle paused. "However, I'm actually not optimistic."

"why?"

"If I'm not wrong, Chaos will definitely try to do something to prevent our army from taking action during this time."

……

Things turned out better than expected.

Of course, this is a normal thing.Who is Parry?He was the son of General Rafa, and he once assisted his father in taking charge of the entire Grunee Northern Army. His influence in the army was deep-rooted and he had many party members.Even today, with the changing situation, he is a centipede who is dead but not stiff, and he can be regarded as a proper high-ranking military officer.Even the domineering and domineering little queen of Falcon City couldn't give Parry the position of "Lieutenant General".

And this Newstria city was once more like Parry's family territory.For a time he was right in the city.

On the contrary, the girl named Paris is just the daughter of an ordinary businessman—her father is not even considered that kind of big businessman, let alone such things as titles and aristocratic status.He doesn't even have his own chamber of commerce, shops and other things that are considered "foundation" for businessmen.The merchant is a typical small businessman. He has a small caravan consisting of ten horses, four carts, and twelve hands (this number includes himself and his daughter). Run around and earn some hard-earned money.And his business this time is not worth mentioning - in fact, he wholesaled tobacco from the Xianghai Chamber of Commerce and sent it to the military camp to sell at a higher price.

The disparity in status, power and even wealth between the two was so great that Paris had no possibility of resistance at all.Of course, from another perspective, she might not have wanted to resist at all, but instead regarded it as a good opportunity.In short, the deal was done in just one day, and the venerable tobacconist sold his daughter for a good price.

Everyone has benefited from the deal.Parry got a girl who caught his heart, and the businessman got a fortune that would make him rich.And that girl also got a backer who would allow her to live comfortably and stop working hard.Or at least on the surface.

In fact, almost no one, including Parry's own cronies, noticed the discordant factors-Parry, who has never been considered a lewd man, seemed to become extremely eager this time.Of course, this kind of thing is difficult to detect, and it can be explained in one word: "impulse".

The candlelight flickered, reflecting the infinite spring light in this room.

Parry was naked, sitting on the edge of the bed, casually picking up a cigarette case from the table.This is a high-end tobacco produced by the Xianghai Chamber of Commerce. It is expensive and only available to nobles or wealthy businessmen.Speaking of which, the Xianghai Chamber of Commerce has already gained popularity. The tobacco they produce is famous for its mellow fragrance and pleasant taste.At least in Gluny, high-grade tobacco from Tiberius is no longer selling well.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff.This wasn't his first time, but it was the first time he felt so satisfied.No, it cannot be called satisfaction, but ecstasy.

"My lord..." The beauty behind him propped up half of his body, and Pali looked sideways, just in time to see the girl's slender, fair, impeccably perfect thighs.The woman's body pressed against his back. "What are you doing? Don't you rest?"

There was an indescribable allure in her voice, which made Parry want to move again.At least this time, though, sanity prevailed.

"No, there are still a few things that haven't been done well." Parry took another breath. "There's a little problem with fodder... I have to write a letter," he said. "Falcon City is pressing very hard."
