Chapter 134 Deployment
"What?" After hearing Ye Junwen's words, many generals were a little dissatisfied. In their opinion, this method was pretty good. Where was it stupid? But after all, Ye Junwen's official rank is higher than them, so although it can be seen that they are not convinced, they did not rush out directly to confront Ye Junwen.
"I also think something is wrong, but I don't know what's wrong." Unexpectedly, Hejar next to me said directly.
"The old general understands it." Ye Junwen smiled and said, "In fact, the reason is very simple, because if we pass from behind, it will be obvious that the other party will find out. The other party's reconnaissance troops will definitely pay attention to their rear, but they are not guarding against us, but the Lizardman's troops."
"Oh?" Hejar was a little stunned, and suddenly understood something he thought was wrong.
"In fact, although the rebels cooperated with the Lizardman, it is obviously just a temporary cooperation. They should not trust each other, so the rebels will definitely be on guard against the Lizardman's troops, so they will definitely pay attention to the situation in the rear and will also respond to the lizardman's sudden raid from the rear. So if we go around from the back, the other party can discover it in time and start the registration directly."
"So that's it..." After hearing Ye Junwen say this, many generals also understood. Yes, humans and lizard men are in opposition after all. Even if the rebels temporarily cooperate with the lizard men, they should only use the relationship. It is impossible to truly trust each other with them. It seems normal to have one hand.
"Then... Lord Legion, what should we do?" The generals saw Ye Junwen say this, and felt that Lord Legion should have a way, so they asked directly.
"In fact, our situation is still very embarrassing." Ye Junwen said, "At present, there is basically no possibility of defeating the rebels quickly. You can think about it. If we calculate the time, our troops should have returned to the main city, but there is no. There are only two types of speculations on the rebels. One is that we took a detour, and the other is that we were intercepted by the Lizardman troops. They will definitely send people to the Lizardman troops to inquire about the situation, and it is impossible for us not to expose it at this time."
Although they defeated the Lizardman's troops, after all, there were still people who escaped. So if the other party looked carefully, they would definitely find that the Lizardman's troops had been defeated, and at the same time they would definitely find that Ye Junwen and his troops were also nodded after hearing this. It seemed that the situation was not as smooth as they imagined. Although they defeated the Lizardman, the strength of the rebels did not decrease at all.
"What should we do?" Hejar asked here.
"Don't worry, actually the most important thing now is that we can't worry." Ye Junwen said, "Although I know everyone is anxious, you can also think about it. Are they not in a hurry on the rebels? If you know that the troops of your ally Lizardman were defeated by us, the other party will definitely be very anxious. Once you are anxious, it will affect your judgment and lead to a stupid move."
"That is to say, we have to wait for the other party to make a mistake?" Hejar asked.
"Yes, in fact, we can just advance slowly here." Ye Junwen said, "It doesn't matter if the other party discovers it. As our troops get closer and closer, the other party will definitely start to attack the city in a hurry. Once the other party attacks the city desperately, the losses will increase and the soldiers will begin to get tired. In this way, when we face us, the other party's troops will inevitably be vulnerable."
"It makes sense to say this, but...there is the main city..." Hejar said.
"We have no other choice. In fact, the other party has another way, that is, give up the main city first, and then turn around to solve us first. The soldiers in the main city will definitely not choose to leave the city, so they can do this with confidence. Once this happens, if we make a rash move, we will most likely be ambushed by the other party." Ye Junwen said, "So no matter what the other party does, our steady progress is the easiest way."
"I understand." He Jiaer nodded, but Ye Junwen said it was right. If they were aggressive now, they would be doomed if they were ambushed by the enemy. But if they fought steadily, they would be worried that the main city would not be able to defend. This situation was the same as what Ye Junwen said, which was very embarrassing.
"So I don't think we need to think so much now. First of all, we are now moving into this city steadily." Ye Junwen pointed to a big city on the map and said, "We now need to replenish the baggage in this city called Edmeade, and then after we arrive at this city, we will quickly conduct a reconnaissance. Based on the results of the reconnaissance, we will determine the next plan. If we know that the other party is accelerating the siege, we will immediately march to fight with them. If we find that the other party is not siegeing, we should be careful. What do you think of this, veteran general?"
"Hmm?" Hedgeal thought for a while and nodded, "I think this plan is more secure, so let's follow this strategy first."
It is obvious that many generals still have some questions about this plan. The most important thing is the situation in the main city. What if the enemy attacks wildly and directly captures the main city? They have not lost everything, but after all, the decision was made by the two legion commanders, and they have no better way, so they can only do this for the time being.
"Wait, General Hejar." Just as the meeting was over and everyone was about to leave the conference room, Ye Junwen suddenly called out Hejar.
"What's the matter?" Hejar turned around and asked.
"That's right. The Tang Dynasty merchant also gave me some special gifts this time and said that they would be handed over to you. I wonder if you can stay and see it." Ye Junwen said.
"Oh? That's how..." It's not surprising that someone gave him gifts, but He Jiaer usually doesn't accept them. His status does not require gifts at all. However, it was a gift from the Tang Dynasty, and he was a little curious. Ye Junwen was the agent. After thinking about it, he still agreed.
So Hejar turned around and returned to the conference room, and of course the other generals heard it. They had no choice but to leave without their own share, so they could only leave with some envy.
"What kind of gift is it?" Hejar sat down and asked, "Since you asked to forward it on your behalf, I don't know what are the requirements?"
Of course, the gift was not for nothing. Since they gave it, they probably had a request. Of course, He Jiaer was basically sure to help him when he stayed, and he gave Ye Junwen's face.
"No, this is just an excuse. I'm sorry that the Tang Dynasty merchants don't understand the rules here and did not prepare gifts." Ye Junwen said, "It's my attention to keeping you behind, I just want to tell you about my plan."
"Oh?" Hejar was a little stunned, but he quickly understood what Ye Junwen meant, "Do you think there are enemy spies in our army, so you called me alone?"
"I don't know if there are any enemy spies, but can you guarantee that there are no one?" Ye Junwen said, "I heard that Duke Seleto has a very wide connection. Although we cleaned it up a little, can I guarantee that it will be cleaned up?"
"This..." Hejar nodded. It is true that Ye Junwen said nothing, and he still needs this vigilance. "Then what the plan you are going to talk about is? Wouldn't our troops go here?"
"Of course not. Our troops will go to Edmead City as I said, but we need another plan, which needs your support." Ye Junwen said.
"Can you tell me carefully?" said Hejar.
"As I said before, the rebels will definitely discover that we defeated the Lizardman. After knowing this situation, the rebels will temporarily give up the attack from the main city and instead destroy us first." Ye Junwen said.
"Oh? Why are you so sure?" Hejar asked.
"Because they know that the people in the main city will not attack." Ye Junwen said, "If we attack the main city, we may be attacked from behind. If we attack us, the people in the main city will never help. In this case, they will definitely choose to deal with us first, so in the current situation, we are much more dangerous than the main city."
"This..." Hejar wanted to refute, but in fact, there was nothing wrong with what Ye Junwen said. The troops in the main city could not attack. The fear of death could not agree to pull the troops in the main city, even if they win 100%.
"And the rebels do have a way to deal with us," Ye Junwen said, pointing to an area on the map and saying, "If I were them, I would choose to wait for our troops in this area and start a decisive battle here."
Hejar looked over and after a while, he figured it out. Their current route of march was to go to Edmead City through the Mitsburg hills in front of him. There was a plain area between leaving the hills and reaching the city, and Ye Junwen pointed out the location at the junction of the hills and the plains.
"If the war starts here, our troops are in a hilly position and cannot develop their formation, while the enemy troops are in a plain position. Not only are they better in a formation, but they are also waiting for their leisure. They may know that our supplies are not enough and they cannot enter the city, so they just need to wait for our troops to rush out by themselves, and the result should be imaginable." Ye Junwen said.
