Chapter Fourteen The Dilemma
Lakeside Town to the east of Zhishui Lake. Winter has ordered all 30,000 troops of the Central Army to stop moving forward and rest in the town. This place is only thirty miles away from the originally planned gathering place, but Winter dared not let the troops go further because he could not contact the two friendly forces at all. Now it is impossible to engage in siege.
"Is it still impossible to contact the left and right armies?" Winter asked at the town mayor's mansion. This place has now been requisitioned by him and has become a temporary command center.
"Your Excellency the Legion Commander, we have sent more than a dozen scouts, but few of them have come back. According to those who came back, they encountered an enemy attack after leaving Hupan Town if they could not walk twenty miles. Fortunately, they ran fast, otherwise they would not be able to come back." The adjutant quickly reported.
"It seems that the enemy wants to cut off our connection with the left and right armies, and then defeat them one by one." Winter is worthy of being the commander of the legion with rich combat experience, and he immediately judged Roger's combat intentions.
However, it was useless to see it. He didn't know where the main force of the Lightning Army was, nor how his two friendly forces were. The only good news was to investigate the safety of the scouts from the Lightning Army camp. They said that they saw Del, the commander of the Lightning Army, who was still in the camp. The flags were flying in the camp and the crowds were crowded, and it seemed that there were tens of thousands of people.
"By the way, what do you think of the Feiying message I received in succession a few days ago?" Winter asked at this time. It was precisely because of the contradictory information he sent back that he had to act cautiously and ordered the troops to temporarily stop advancing.
"It is reasonable that the Lightning Army has a flying eagle that is exactly the same as our Rock Legion. After all, everyone used the flying eagle from the IS Flying Eagle Training Base. It is estimated that the Lightning Army has also studied the flying eagle and knew that the flying eagle trainer could not identify which legion these flying eagles belong to, so he deliberately used many flying eagles to transmit false information to cover up the real actual situation of the left and right armies." Jack, the new direct cavalry division commander of the Rock Legion, said. He was a young general who was only twenty-seven years old, with beautiful red hair and a very tall figure, about 1.85 meters. When he was adjusting this personnel, he replaced Paramount, the former direct cavalry division commander, who was cleaned, and took up this position that everyone was jealous.
Winter did not like Jack. Although he showed his talent in many previous military exercises, Winter always believed that Jack was relying on his uncle Eisen to climb so fast in the army. This time, Eisen promoted his nephew from the original captain to the commander of the direct cavalry division. This caused many people to be dissatisfied in the Rock Corps. You must know that there are too many people staring at the position of the direct cavalry division commander. Even Winter wanted to give this position to his confidants. But in the end, a letter of appointment from the military department surprised everyone. Jack, who was only twenty-seven years old, actually got this position. Many officers from aristocratic origins knew that Jack was the nephew of Prime Minister Eisen, and they couldn't help but complain behind their backs that Eisen was nephew.
Winter frowned at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "Jack, we know the situations you mentioned, but the problem is that we cannot contact the two friendly troops at all, so naturally we cannot know what the enemy wants to blockade."
When Jack heard this, he couldn't help but sneer. He had actually made a few days ago that he would make the Central Army change its itinerary, join with the Left Army, and then defeat the Lightning Army. However, this suggestion was rejected by Winter. He believed that changing the itinerary without authorization would make friendly troops at a loss. Moreover, if the Central Army left his attack position, the Lightning Army could calmly retreat westward to Baissus, and could not snipe them when they retreated as planned before.
These old people still deal with the current battle with the old tactics they used to deal with, but they forgot that their opponent is the genius Roger, not Del. Jack was a little angry. However, for the benefit of his family, he could not watch the Rock Legion be destroyed.
Jack decided to enlighten these old people.
"My dear sir, it's clear that we think from the perspective of others. Suppose we are the Lightning Army. How should we act after cutting off the contact between the three enemy troops? If we just want to retreat, it is necessary to make it so complicated, and we will send experts to intercept the enemy's scouts? Therefore, the purpose of the Lightning Army must be to attack us. Among the three troops, I think the right-road army with the smallest number is the most vulnerable to attack. They dealt with more than 40,000 lightning with 26,000 people against more than 40,000 lightning with 26,000 people
The legion was caught off guard and defeat was inevitable. The enemy would probably point the next target to the left army at this time. But the left army was not mentally prepared. When the enemy fought with more and had the intention to make plans and was defeated in the footsteps of the right army... After that, the enemy will carry out their final battle - that is, attack our middle army. Maybe they are already on the road now!" Jack made his judgment with his ups and downs.
If Roger was here, he would have been very surprised. Jack actually estimated his plan.
The conference room was quiet, and I guess even a needle could be heard falling off. The officers were stunned by what Jack described. If what Jack said was true, wouldn’t there be more enemy troops now than our own?
"Captain Jack Division, is your prediction too sensational?" The person who spoke was Varian, the commander of the First Division. "You know, our left and right armies have three divisions, with a total strength of more than 25,000. Although the strength of a single unit is not as large as that of the entire Lightning Army, it is not something that the Lightning Army can easily defeat. Aren't the enemy afraid that when they attack our entire army, our other two corps will attack from their side and behind, causing them to be attacked from both sides?"
"What an idiot!" Jack couldn't help but think of this. "It was because the enemy thought of this that he wanted to cut off the connection between our three armies, and even release their flying eagles to interfere with the correct information from our flying eagles."
"Don't you know if the Master of Eagle Trainer knows the arrival time of these flying eagle messages?" Jack did not answer Varian's words at this time, but asked the Eagle Trainer.
