Chapter 72 Under the strategic change(1/2)
However, at this time, there were still some people in the military tent who did not understand what Su Cheng meant.
"What does 'attacking the enemy must save the enemy'?" asked a deputy commander.
After hearing the deputy commander's question, Su Cheng's face did not show any impatience, but said slowly: "It is to attack the place where the enemy must not give up, so that the enemy has to come back for reinforcements."
"Alan is now stationed at the Ferry of Iron with his army."
As Su Cheng spoke, he stretched out a finger and pointed at the location of Elun Ferry on the map in front of him.
"Although our army suffered heavy losses yesterday morning, losing 14,000 men, we still have 86,000 troops, which is still slightly better than the enemy in terms of numbers."
"However, although our army is superior to the enemy in terms of quantity and quality of personnel, it is still very difficult to storm the Illun Ferry. Even if it is finally captured, it will suffer heavy losses, at least tens of thousands of corpses.
It sank under the Fu River forever."
"Therefore, we have to think of a way to get Alan to leave Elon Ferry. As long as Alan leaves Elon Ferry, his greatest advantage will be lost, so we have to let Alan leave Elon Ferry voluntarily."
After saying that, Su Cheng's finger on the map moved north.
Soon, Su Cheng's finger moved off the map.
"To the north of the Kingdom of Lund is the Carolingian Kingdom," Su Cheng continued, "We are now turning the entire army and heading north! Attack the Carolingian Kingdom. The Carolingian Kingdom is devoting all its national strength to attack this time.
The Lund Kingdom’s only 80,000 troops in the country are now here, which means that the Carolingian Kingdom’s current defense strength is very empty.”
"If we go to attack the Carolingian Kingdom, Alan's 80,000 Carolingian troops will definitely not sit idly by! Alan will never watch us attack the Carolingian Kingdom.
Therefore, he will definitely mobilize all his troops to rescue the Carolingian Kingdom that is being attacked by us. In this way, the siege of the capital of the Kingdom of Lund can be successfully lifted."
After that, Su Cheng straightened up, looked at the stunned people, and said, "The above is my new strategy. Do you have any questions?"
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, the commander of the 6th Army immediately said:
"Wait a minute! How do you know that Alan will definitely give up the siege of Heron City and mobilize all his troops to rescue the Carolingian Kingdom? If he leaves an army of 10,000 to 20,000 to attack Heron City
What should we do if Heron City continues to besieged? With Heron City’s current defense strength, 20,000 people can still prevent anyone in Heron City from getting out!”
"No, Allen will definitely lead all the troops and will never leave 10,000 to 20,000 people to continue to surround Heron City!" Su Cheng said in a firm tone, "Don't forget, Allen is very
Smart, our army now has 86,000 people, and the army under Allen's command now is only 80,000 people. In terms of quantity and quality of the army, we are about to lose. Under such circumstances
, he will never disperse his troops again and put his troops at a greater disadvantage. In order to increase his chances of winning, he will definitely mobilize all the troops, lift the siege of Heron City, and then lead
The whole army came north to stop us."
As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, another person's questions came one after another.
"So, Deputy Commander of the 10th Army." The Commander of the 1st Army said solemnly, "If our entire army goes north to attack the Carolingian Kingdom, how can you be sure that Alan will definitely choose to go north to intercept us?
?What if Allen blocks the news and prevents the soldiers below from knowing that their motherland is under attack? If your strategy is to succeed, the most important point is that Allen will choose to abandon the siege of Heron City and attack
, and then mobilize the entire army to come north to intercept us. If Allen sees through this key point of your strategy and chooses to block the news, your strategy will fail."
The commander of the 1st Army asked very sharp questions, but Su Cheng was not afraid at all, because Su Cheng had expected what questions they would ask yesterday, so he thought about it last night
Answered all questions and prepared well in advance.
Therefore, Su Cheng replied without hesitation:
"No, Allen will definitely choose to go north to rescue the Carolingian Kingdom. Allen's own position determines that he will not watch the Carolingian Kingdom be destroyed by us."
"Alan is a general of the Frankish Empire, and the Carolingian Kingdom is a vassal state of the Frankish Empire. This time, Alan was ordered to come here to help the Carolingian Kingdom. A man who was supposed to be here to help the Carolingian Kingdom
However, he watched the Carolingian Kingdom being destroyed. If he really chose to ignore the Carolingian Kingdom being attacked, then not only would he be disgraced, but the Frankish Empire would also be disgraced along with it.
The prestige of the Frankish Empire among countries around the world will also be greatly reduced."
"Moreover, this news is not so easy to block. If the king of the Carolingian Kingdom learns that his country is about to be conquered, he will definitely send messengers frantically to notify all the soldiers in the army to return to rescue. At this time,
, Allen can’t hide it no matter how hard he tries.”
As soon as Su Cheng finished answering the questions of the commander of the 1st Army, a new question came up.
"But," a deputy commander asked, "according to your strategy, you can only transfer Allen and the 80,000 Carolingian Kingdom troops away from here. After transferring Allen away from here,
How are you going to defeat them?"
"If my strategy succeeds and Allen lifts the siege of Heron City and everyone comes north to intercept us, we will have been more than half successful." Su Cheng said calmly, "What we have to do next is to find
A good place to meet or ambush Allen and his army who are coming back for reinforcements will be enough."
"That's it?" the deputy commander said dumbfounded, "Didn't you think of a place to meet Allen who came back for reinforcements?"
"I'm not a god. How could I know in advance which place is most suitable for attacking Allen?" Su Cheng said in a slightly stern tone, "After we successfully lure Allen's army over, we will wait until they return for reinforcements."
On the way, just find a good place to fight. You won't know which place is more suitable for fighting until you get there."
After answering the deputy commander's question, Su Cheng looked at the commanders and deputy commanders in front of him, waiting for the next person's question.
However, at this time, the commander and deputy commanders looked at each other, and after a long time, no one raised any new questions.
"It seems that no one has any new questions." The commander of the 3rd Army said calmly.
However, the commander of the 6th Army said at this time: "Huh! Anyway, I don't agree with letting him be the commander-in-chief of the entire army and implement this strategy. I advocate that someone other than him be the commander-in-chief of the entire army."
And continue to implement our original strategy!"
"Well, in that case, come and vote!" the commander of the 3rd Army said loudly, "We now have 9 people in the military tent. After excluding the commander of the 6th Army and the deputy commander of the 10th Army, there are a total of 7 people.
Just an odd number, perfect for voting!”
The commander of the 3rd Army looked at Su Cheng and said: "Deputy Commander of the 10th Army, if you become the commander-in-chief of the entire army, you will definitely implement your new strategy, right?"
"Yes! That's right!" Su Cheng nodded firmly.
Then, the commander of the 3rd Army turned to the commander of the 6th Army and said: "Commander of the 6th Army, you do not want the deputy commander of the 10th Army to become the commander-in-chief of the entire army, and you do not want to implement what he proposed.
This new strategy, right?"
"Ah! That's right!" The commander of the 6th Army also nodded firmly.
"Then let's vote like this." The commander of the 3rd Army said, "If you support the idea of the deputy commander of the 10th Army, say '10', and if you support the idea of the 6th Army Commander, say '6'
'. After excluding the deputy commander of the 10th Army and the commander of the 6th Army, we have exactly 7 people here. No matter how we vote, we will definitely get a result."
"Well," a deputy commander asked weakly at this time, "isn't there the option of 'making the deputy commander of the 10th Army the commander-in-chief of the entire army, but without changing the strategy'?"
"Sorry, if I become the commander-in-chief of the entire army, I will definitely change my strategy, so there is no such option." Su Cheng said coldly, "If you don't support my strategy, don't let me become the commander-in-chief of the entire army."
The army is in command."
The commander of the 3rd Army shrugged at the deputy commander: "That's it, so there are only these two options. So, okay, stop talking nonsense and start voting! It is the choice to let the deputy commander of the 10th Army
Should you take over the position of commander and change the strategy, or let someone else take over the position of commander and maintain the original strategy, let’s start voting! Commander of the 1st Army, let’s start with you.”
After hearing the words of the commander of the 3rd Army, the commander of the 1st Army fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said: "If the deputy commander of the 10th Army wants to be the commander-in-chief of the entire army, I have no problem with it, but I don't quite accept his new strategy, so 6!"
After the commander of the 1st Army voted, according to the order, it was the turn of the deputy commander of the 1st Army.
The deputy commander of the 1st Army thought for a while and then slowly said: "6."
Seeing that the first two people supported his idea, the commander of the 6th Army couldn't help but look happy and proud.
Su Cheng couldn't help but frown now.
Then, it was the turn of the commander of the 3rd Army.
The commander of the 3rd Army did not think much and said without hesitation: "Although the deputy commander of the 10th Army's idea is very bold, I think it is still very feasible, so 10!"
Seeing that someone finally supported him, Su Cheng's brows finally relaxed a little.
After that, the remaining people began to vote one by one.
In the end, only the last person was left to vote, and the votes of Su Cheng and the commander of the 6th Army were a very dramatic 3 to 3!
In other words, the last person who has not yet voted will decide how the entire army will act in the future!
And this last person was none other than Alyssa, the commander of the 10th Army.
At this time, everyone in the military tent turned their attention to Alyssa.
Alyssa felt that their invisible sights were weighing heavily on her like mountains, making her feel heavy pressure.
However, it is normal that no matter who she is in her current situation, she will feel tremendous pressure, because your next choice will play a decisive role in the army's next actions and even the results.
At this time, Alyssa suddenly recalled what Su Cheng said to her yesterday: "I have just made a crazy decision. At the military meeting tomorrow morning, I will propose a bold plan. If possible,
Please support me."
Alyssa secretly thought in her heart:
So that's it. The 'crazy decision' you were talking about was to take over the head coach's position... and the bold plan you were talking about was the new strategy you just proposed... Really, really.
So bold!
At this moment, Alyssa suddenly recalled another sentence Su Cheng said to her yesterday: "If you can, please support me."
Do you support me?
Alyssa murmured in her heart.
For some reason, Alyssa thought of Su Cheng's firm eyes again yesterday.
To be continued...
