Chapter 1025 (2/2)
Destroy the investigation system of duanjieshan fortress? If those strongholds have been destroyed; If it's cavalry... The total number of cavalry in duanjieshan fortress is more than 15000, which is enough to launch a frontal attack on this army of 40000 people.
Annihilating an entire army looks scary, but it doesn't matter to the overall strength of the fortress.
What are they doing?
”The previous battles, including the sacrifices of count Seth braha and the Knights of Naze, were all because we had miscalculated the enemy's purpose.” emperor Conrad said coldly:
”So the first thing we have to do now is to find out... What they want to do!”
The dark haired wizard nodded slightly.
Intelligence is always the absolute core of a battle and even a war.
Only when we have a detailed understanding of all the intelligence of the enemy and our own side and make detailed judgments can we formulate operational plans; Casually throwing soldiers into a battlefield that they don't know or even know at all is more serious than misjudging their surnames, and it's not even a risk.
It was a deliberate attempt to die.
The enemy chose the most remote battlefield, but to a certain extent, it also blocked the possibility that the Empire could detect their actions. To a certain extent, it really plunged the empire into a situation of ”blind and deaf”; The only seemingly safe way is to wait and die in the fortress of duanjieshan.
But this is certainly the most desired result of the elves - to ensure that there will be no interference before the general attack on the fortress of duanjieshan.
Therefore, it is never advisable to be trapped in the fortress. We must take the initiative to attack in order to regain the initiative in the war, which is also the only way for Connor to win back his reputation; Even if it was just for commitment, he could not wait for the enemy to attack.
Therefore, if we can't understand the enemy's purpose for the time being, we must understand another thing
”What is our purpose and what is the enemy's purpose?”
Connord, with a solemn expression, said what Lauren had always wanted to say.
”Our purpose? Of course, is to keep the fortress of duanjie mountain from being captured.” Sally Ka, who was interrupted once, was not as eager to say at the beginning:
”As for those rabbit masters... Probably, they should attack the fortress of duanjieshan, then join the other two armies to the South and attack the imperial capital Golovin together?”
”It's not so much an end as an outcome that will come after the set goal is achieved.” dreisis, who always stood behind Connor, couldn't help but Snatch:
”The established operational objectives should be able to achieve each step step step by step and have clear guidelines - as long as they are implemented according to the square array and each step can be completed in place, no matter how many changes and emergencies occur, the inevitable results can be achieved in the end!”
”How can that be...”
Before the machete woman who was going to say ”impossible” could finish her big talk, she saw the black haired wizard on one side, staring at her silently with a meaningful face.
Suddenly, Sarika was speechless.
Isn't it the best proof that this guy, who had not fought several wars before becoming a duke and was cautious to the point of ”coward”?
In the Centaur war, Byrne's strategic goal is to ”assist” Boye to win the final victory. Therefore, Loren Turin has been openly and secretly urging the Archduke Boye of the previous generation to launch a comprehensive decisive battle with the enemy's main force, while he took Byrne's army to cut off the enemy's supply line and promote the outbreak of the decisive battle in advance.
Although the final situation changed, the elite main force of the Centaur was indeed eliminated because of the decisive battle and the cut-off supply line; The final change is only the question of ”who won the war”.
No matter which result, Byrne completed his war goal and ”helped” Boye win.
And the first battle after I joined him, rescue Qianzhang city - I intend to concentrate more troops and eliminate the Centaurs besieging the city; However, Loren Turin judged that Qianzhang city could not last until then and must march immediately.
What I thought was ”destroy the enemy and the city will be saved”. Loren Turin's view was ”first ensure that the city will not be occupied” - Qianzhang city was spared. Indeed... It was just the final result.
No matter what the result is - the city is not occupied, which has been done; Whether the remaining Centaur troops have been eliminated, whether there are still Boyi troops stationed in the city, and even whether there are living people
In fact, it really doesn't matter, because no matter what it becomes, it must be a thousand times stronger than being occupied by centaurs.
I'm afraid that's still the case in this battle of duanjie mountain; In Loren Turin's mind, maybe everything else doesn't matter as long as we ensure that the fortress is not captured?
This feeling finally made Sarika realize, but it was also very uncomfortable, and her expression was even slightly distorted - because it was tantamount to admitting that she had been fighting since she was born, almost in order to become the Lord of Boye, in what she was best at
It's not as good as this wizard who has never fought a war and only became the Duke by being recommended by others!
”Actually... Sarika is right.”
The black haired wizard, who did not notice the girl's expression becoming ”complaining”, coughed twice and said seriously, ”if the enemy is in the northernmost part, they can only attack South - seizing the fortress of duanjie mountain is the goal they must achieve.”
”As for us... At this stage, our goal should be to ensure that the fortress of duanjieshan can not be occupied, and to destroy this elf army as much as possible - the ideal goal should be to kill or capture the eagle king alive and attack the enemy's morale.”
”So you're in favor of sticking to the fortress of duanjie mountain?” Conrad asked.
”No, I always think attack is the best defense; sometimes it's very reasonable to pay some sacrifices in exchange for the initiative.” Loren said slowly:
”As for the enemy's purpose... Whatever it is, they must want to disrupt our deployment; so my idea is to let him go and do whatever they like, and we will continue to follow the plan.”
”Since the enemy has eliminated the cavalry we sent to pursue, it's better to send troops to the blood skeleton Valley, build a stable fortress and outpost in the glacier wasteland, expand the investigation scope and let the enemy have nowhere to hide!”
The voice fell, and Loren stared at his majesty with burning eyes.
Connaught, who was silent for a moment, looked at the blood skeleton Valley in the distance. After thinking for a while, he slowly opened his mouth: ”how many soldiers can your floating city 'horn Castle' carry?”
”About two thousand people up and down.” Loren immediately gave the answer.
”Can we berth on land?”
”If the terrain is smooth and firm enough... No problem.”
”How many people do you need?”
”Give me all my troops, and give me two thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry.” Loren said in a deep voice, ”I promise that no one will rush through the blood skeleton valley when the fortress of duanjie mountain goes to war.”
”Yes!”
