Chapter 370 Brainstorming(1/2)
Woodward jumped up and said, "There are many cliffs in the valley here. We can prepare stone rolling wood on the cliffs, and then lead the enemy over and hurt them with rock rolling wood."
Roger applauded and said, "A great idea."
Woodward said embarrassedly: "Well, my suggestion was actually based on the suggestions of Henk's pit digging.
“I think since the pit is not that easy to dig, or we can use other traps.
"This suggestion cannot be considered by me alone, and it also has the credit of Genk."
Henke smiled happily, looking proud, just as some people thought they were picking up a piece of shit, but when they looked closely, they were gold.
A chief next to him sarcastically said, "There is no grass here, where can I get the rolling wood?"
Roger heard it but ignored it, and encouraged:
"Extend your own ideas to other people's ideas, it's great to do it, continue, if you think of anything, you can say it again."
Odin, who has always been calm and quiet, couldn't sit still, and he stood up and said:
“I see the valleys here crisscrossing, which is something that can be used.
"We can lead the enemy out, and they must run along the longitudinal valley after they come out.
"Then we can ambush the cavalry in the horizontal valley and attack their troops directly in the middle.
"The enemy's troops are restricted by the longitudinal valley. When walking through the entrance of the horizontal valley, the width of the team will not be very wide, so we can definitely drill them through.
"This repeated assault can cause great damage to the enemy."
Roger applauded vigorously. He didn't pay attention to this before, and he thought it was a good suggestion.
Odin's face flushed with excitement. As soon as he sat down, Usman and Faisal stood up at the same time.
Roger was very happy to see the Bedouin people joining in, which shows that the current atmosphere is very good.
Usman smiled and invited Faisal to say first, and Faisal was not polite, he said:
“The valley here is as unobstructed as a desert in the eyes of us Bedouin people.
“But in the eyes of newcomers, it is as complicated as a maze.
"We can lead the enemy out and let them follow us in circles in this maze-like valley.
"When they run away, we annihilate them one by one."
Roger laughed and applauded, and he praised: "Awesome idea, great."
Faisal's face was red, as if he had won a battle.
After sitting down, he nodded proudly to the other chiefs, and now the other chiefs couldn't sit steadily.
Usman gave in a moment, but the chiefs were embarrassed to jump into the lineup and signaled Usman to come first.
So Usman stood up and said, "We can send an army around the rear of the enemy camp.
"When the enemy's attention is drawn away by our main force, go to the enemy's camp to set fire and burn all their supplies."
After he said that, he added with a smile: "I thought about it and said it, but in fact I don't know if there is really a way to go around the enemy camp..."
Before Usman finished speaking, a chief interrupted in a hurry and said, "There are roads and roads, I know, there is a small road."
Roger smiled and laughed. Another suggestion he didn't expect but was practical.
......
Amid the suggestions and suggestions from everyone, Roger perfected his plan, he said:
“In light of your suggestions, I have this plan:
"First of all, I want to draw a map and use grid-based methods to mark all the hills and valleys."
When Roger looked at everyone, except Henk, he looked stunned. Obviously, no one understood what he meant, including Henk.
Roger continued: "Then, I will build a base camp on high ground far away from the enemy and send a large number of scouts.
"I plan to send 300 horse sergeants and 300 camel cavalry as scouts."
Except for Henk, everyone's eyes widened and some murmured to themselves:
"There are 3,620 soldiers in total and 600 scouts sent out. How could anyone fight like this?"
Roger pretended not to hear it, and said, "These scouts were in a team of two, composed of a Sicilian soldier who knew the flag and a Bedouin who was familiar with the road.
"They are going to climb the hills near the enemy camp, each of which is at least one team of people.
"The scout team should be careful to be concealed and not be allowed to actively attack the enemy. They are allowed to retreat only when they are discovered by the enemy and the enemy begins to climb the mountain. After retreating, climb to the unmanned mountain behind to continue monitoring."
Roger stressed and said, "Although the scout team does not need to fight, their mission is very heavy.
"Their mission is to monitor the enemy's movements and transmit the information back to the base camp in time; and to pass the commands of the base camp to the corresponding troops.
"The scout team is my eyes that controls the entire battlefield and the mouthpiece that passes orders on my behalf to any corner of the battlefield.
“I don’t allow any enemy to escape their eyes, nor do I allow any message not to be delivered in time.
"With the task being completed, they can set up some rolling stones on the top of the mountain to attack enemies who are trying to climb the mountain.
“Woodward, you are always in charge of the scouts, but you can’t go out with them.
"I ask you to lead 180 Sicilian horsemen who know the flag language to garrison at the base camp.
"You have to organize these 180 people into an intelligence brigade, and communicate with all the scout squads remotely through flags and slogans.
"This task is unusual. If you find it difficult, you can ask me now."
Woodward pointed at his eyes and said confidently: "I believe in my eyes more than martial arts.
"Don't worry, I'll leave this task to me, I won't miss any flag words."
Roger stressed: "What I want is not your power alone.
“This task may be more difficult than you think.
"I guess it will be very busy by then, and you will definitely be too busy to be alone.
"You must fully mobilize the team's strength, and only in this way can you complete this task."
Woodward pinched his chin and said thoughtfully: "I roughly understand your thoughts.
"In the past, I participated in a large-scale hunt, where hunters passed messages to each other and acted together, and that capture really made a lot of money.
"Don't worry, I know how to coordinate with my subordinates and let the message be delivered smoothly."
Roger nodded in recognition of Woodward's statement, and then he looked at Faisal and said:
“I am going to send a portion of the Bedouin to the enemy camp to lure the enemy.
"Whether it is provoking or using any other method, their mission is to lure the enemy to send troops."
Faisal looked proud and focused his head. It seemed that if he didn't do this, he would not let others know that it was out of his advice.
"I plan to send 500 camel cavalry to complete this mission," Roger said.
“Faisal, you are in charge of command.
“You can decide on your own whether to fight the enemy or retreat directly.
"As long as the enemy soldiers can be drawn out, I allow you to escape in battle."
Faisal proudly took over the mission.
Lawrence exclaimed in Latin: "The beautiful plan, even the Bedouin people are not resilient, and they will not last long to survive in the war and take advantage of this weakness."
Roger continued: "Usman, I give you 100 horse sergeants and 100 camel cavalry."
"You detour to the rear of the enemy camp and attack the camp at your own right.
"You have the time to control it yourself, and I believe you can complete the task."
Usman nodded solemnly.
Roger continued: "The 2040 heavy cavalrymen, deducting the total 100 guards of Lawrence and me, and leaving 20 substitutes, the remaining 1920 people, I plan to divide them into 16 teams, each with 120 people.
"These heavy cavalry teams will be put into the battlefield in batches as needed.
"Each team will set out with the mission and return to the base camp to rest after completing the mission.
“My demands on them are: fast, accurate, ruthless, and strict discipline.
"In their operation, they must always keep in touch with the scouts on the hill.
“No one is allowed to act without permission against orders.
"Lawrence, Odin, you two are responsible for coordinating the teams at the base camp."
Lawrence said with some dissatisfaction: "Is it just coordination at the base camp?
“I think I can handle more difficult tasks.
"For example, leading troops to assault and fighting on the front line."
Roger said earnestly: "This is a difficult task.
“You have to send out the right squad according to my request, and it is not easy.
To be continued...
