Chapter 890
The gray-clothed army, the central army's large tent, and the senior generals are all listed.
"... According to the information from the secret agency, the barbarian offensive was very fierce this time, and the Bran front line was in a hurry, and the situation was not optimistic. It is also because of this that our army encountered little resistance when attacking hard. It is just that the problem now is that we do not have cavalry, so as long as the team advances in the field, they will be attacked by the archers and cavalry constantly sent by the opponent... Although the purple-bore can repel the opponent, it is not a long-term solution. Moreover, a small team of archers exchanged for a few of our explosive crystals, which is not a cost-effective way. Of course, this is not the main problem we are facing now..."
"Wait, here is our logistics department's matter. I want to talk about it... Leader, there are not many explosive crystals in the military warehouse. This thing is Bran's official prohibited items, and it cannot be purchased on the market. The black market merchants with inventory left early before the city was broken. Occasionally, they found it was a drop in the bucket, which was completely out of reach. So I suggest that the limited supply of explosive crystals can only be used in the attacking town, otherwise our purple-bore cannon will become a pile of scrap iron lumps."
"What! Limited supply? Feiri, what are you kidding! Our department is cleaning the war zone outside, and there is no explosion of crystals. What do you ask us to deal with the four-legged crumbs that are constantly coming and raiding? No! Absolutely not!"
"Not bad. Or you can find us war horses to form cavalry, or you can continue to supply explosive crystals. There is no discussion on this matter..."
"Don't be excited, all the generals. I'm just talking about the matter, and I don't mean to target you... Well, the explosion crystals cannot continue to be supplied unconditionally. As for the war horses... you see if there is something in our logistics department with four legs. It's all taken away."
"Fuck! What do you mean by an iron rooster..."
"It turns out that the person who lost it was not yours..."
"What other four legs are there in your logistics department besides tables, chairs, benches? You can ride it and show me..."
...
There was a sound of slapping the table, accusing, cursing and cursing... In an instant, the central army tent was in chaos, and more than a dozen generals in armor were angry and condemned. The young man who was denouncing, Fei Rui, who had a little freckle on his face, seemed to have been used to this kind of besieged scene. The old god was sitting there, holding up the teacup, blowing the heat, and turning a deaf ear to him.
"Quiet!" A sudden shout was heard. Joshia, who was sitting in the first place, frowned slightly, looked around with her eyes, and instantly suppressed the more than ten angry generals. Then she turned to look at the middle-aged officer who had reported before, and nodded slightly: "Continue talking."
"Yes... the main problem we are facing now is where should the army fight next? If we continue to go deeper into the northern hinterland according to our previous plan, we will inevitably build the Sharon official road not far from the front line, which is one of the important military roads connecting the northern border of Bran and the front line... Everyone should be clear that in the current situation on the front line, Bran will definitely not allow us to occupy this military road."
"Hmph!" a snorted coldly. A burly general curled his lips and said disdainfully when he heard this, "It makes Bran like us now."
The middle-aged officer spread his hands helplessly: "You know. I didn't mean that. The situation is different now, and the public opinion on the world is becoming increasingly unfavorable to us..."
The situation is indeed different. In the past, the gray-clothed army stood up to resist the oppression of the Bran noble class in accordance with the principle of seizing interests for the civilians. It can be said that the division was famous and upright, and it was also welcomed by the majority of Bran people and ensured the stability of occupying the territory. But now it is unexpectedly encountered invasion by foreign enemies. If they take over Bran's military power at this time, the statement will be different.
Very simple logic - no matter what, everyone is a Bran. It's like two brothers who have a conflict. Even if they don't like each other, the blood-soluble family bond is always there. You can't help outsiders bully their brothers, right?
Of course, the gray-clothed soldiers and civilians disdained this statement. No one in their own family or nobles regarded them as human beings, and tried every means to kill them. Why should they stick their faces to the cold butt and recognize this heartless "brother"!
But this statement is now rampant. It is undeniable that there must be the official shadow of Bran behind it, but it is an indisputable fact that this has indeed been recognized by many people. Even in the towns passing by the army, there are so-called "compassionate" people who have advised them to put aside their prejudices and shout unanimous slogans to the outside world...
Just as believers are the foundation of the Temple of Light, civilians are also important cornerstones for the Grey-Clothed Army to achieve success. Once this cornerstone appears, or even collapses, the Grey-Clothed Army will become a rootless tree, a water without a source, and it will be difficult to recruit soldiers, let alone overthrow the Bran noble class.
So, although they feel fucked, they now have to sit here patiently and pay attention to discussing this issue.
He completely broke up with Bran, and the cornerstone was shaken.
Retreat, don’t think too much, that is absolutely impossible!
What should I do if it is not suitable for advance or retreat?
...
"It's my fault." Frey, who was sitting on Joshia's left in silence, looked a little sad and sighed, "I was careless. When I made a combat plan, I did not take this military key into consideration. This put us in an embarrassing situation where we are now in a dilemma."
"No!" Fei Rui simply shook his head and denied it when he heard this, "We formulated the combat plan in the 100,000 mountains. At that time, the barbarians had not yet attacked the front line and we had not received any information about this matter. How could we blame you?"
"Yes, General Frey, you have thought too much. We are responsible for blame." Joshia nodded and comforted her. The senior generals next to her also comforted her. But Frey himself still smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, silently.
After his family knew his family, he became the quasi-marshal, Frey became more aware that his strategic vision was insufficient. Let's not talk about the rest, just take this Sharon military stance as an example. Because of the secret institutions, the information about the invasion of the Northern Wilderness Barbarians was almost known to the Gray-Clothed Army with Bran Wangting. If he could notice this sensitive stance at that time, he decisively adjusted the main attack direction, whether to avoid it, or to seize this stance before the news of the barbarian invasion spread and create a certain fact. The impact of this matter would be much smaller...
But at that time he did not notice. He just waited for the entire army to advance to this point, and then he found that there was a big pit that stretched thousands of miles ahead! If he wanted to occupy it, it would become a hot potato. If he didn't occupy it, he would inevitably need to adjust the overall strategy. In this way, not only will the military confusion be caused, but the previous series of deployments will be invalidated. It is simply - it cannot be more pitted!
Seeing that the atmosphere was dull again, the middle-aged officer who had reported before hesitated and said: "The news came from Bran that the negotiation team from the capital was in the nearest town, and hinted that if we were willing to discuss, they would be willing to make the greatest concessions in any aspect..."
"Let me be a bastard!" A hot-tempered general couldn't stand it anymore, interrupted roughly, staring at the bull's eyes and shouting angrily, "Just! We want them to let them go now? Go to the capital, isn't everything ours?"
The words are rough but not rough. The situation of the Gray Clothes Army is now very good. If you control the initiative, why do you need Bran to add icing on the cake? Besides, the tragic consequences of the previous cooperation are still vivid in my mind. Even if they avenge Luosha, they will not be able to negotiate with Bran.
After discussing for a while, it was clear that it would not be negotiated with Bran. However, the military key point in front of him was divided into three factions.
The generals in military uniform agreed that since the meat was delivered to their mouths, they naturally had to eat it.
Most of the civilian senior officials of the Gray-Clothed Army did not agree. They did not understand the military, but they were very concerned about the reactions of the people. They also started their business with this, understanding the principle that water can carry boats and can also overturn the boats.
There are also leaders with decisive opinions like Joshia and Frey, who remained silent, but if they spoke, the matter would be basically settled. Oh, this does not include Feiri, who is also silent, and I don’t know if it’s not his business or is thinking about something. This guy, who is called a smart man by Tang En, holds a teacup and looks thoughtful...
Immediately, when a group of senior civil and military officials in gray-clothed military slap the table and stare at it, and it was almost time to make an appointment to fight alone, Joshia spoke.
When I knocked on the table, the sound was not loud, but it instantly calmed the scene that was as lively as a market just now. Looking around, the reactionary aristocratic lady at the time now has a breathtaking power of the superior.
"I decided that the original strategic combat plan remained unchanged."
"Chief..." The original plan remained unchanged, that was to agree to fight and occupy the military road called Sharon. A senior executive of the gray-clothed army was anxious when he heard this and opened his mouth to say something. However, Joshia waved his hand: "Let me say it, I know what you want to say. The good reputation of the gray-clothed army sacrificed the lives of countless gray-clothed soldiers and civilians, and it took more than a hundred years to accumulate. It is hard to get it, so you should cherish it!"
"But compared to our original intention of coming out of the 100,000 mountains this time, it is not worth mentioning that the Bran Empire was rotten into the bones!"
"To be honest, although we came out this time, we were unstoppable, but I always felt that we were not very happy to do things, and were restricted everywhere and restricted. It was like walking with a precious porcelain, which wanted to be praised by passers-by, but we were afraid that we would break the porcelain by knocking and hitting it. So when we were promoting, we only talked about how much grievances we suffered, wanted to take revenge, but not about our true intentions of overthrowing the Bran Empire and rebuilding a new country. What are we afraid of? We were afraid that the Bran people would not support us, and believed that we were ambition to usurp the power and gain power for our own selfishness."
After a pause, Joshia took a deep breath, "This is wrong, it is also deceiving. That is, it is deceiving those people and deceiving ourselves."
The senior generals were silent when they heard this. The fact is that, on the surface, the current problem is a question of whether to occupy the military main line, but in fact it is not. They are very clear that the current gray-clothed army and Bran are broken down, and they are two hostile countries. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are from the family. Since this is the case, of course they do not need to care about the life and death of the other country. If they want to occupy the military main line, they will occupy it. But the actual situation is that they dare not make it clear about this relationship, and are afraid that once it is made clear, the Bran people who expressed their support and welcome to them yesterday will look at them today with an hatred eye as much as looking at the barbarians...
"I don't know how you feel, but I don't like this feeling, like a thief." Joshia said to herself, "So, I decided to fight over this time, take over this military path, and then announce to the whole world that we are the new gray-clothed army. We have nothing to do with the Bran Empire that is rotten to the bone. When the Bran soldiers come, we will fight. When the Northern Wilderness Barbarians come, we will fight, but this has nothing to do with the unanimous external, just because they break into our territory!"
Bang, slammed the table, and the hot-tempered general just now said excitedly: "Fuck, that's the reason! No wonder I always feel uncomfortable. It's still the leader who said it clearly... Uh, hug, sorry, leader, look at my broken mouth! I'm really not saying swears to you, I..."
"Haha..." In the central army tent, the atmosphere was a bit solemn and concentrating because of Joshia's words just now, and was instantly destroyed by the stuttering general.
Joshia waved his hand disregardedly and continued, "From now on, we must show our own banner and fight for ourselves. As for the reactions of the Bran people, if we continue to support them, we welcome them. If we strongly oppose them, we will not be in a difficult situation. We will arrange them to go to the Bran Empire after the war... Of course, if there was a Bran Empire at that time."
"Haha, I love hearing this!
"Domstic!"
"The leader is mighty..."
Most of the people sitting on the shoulder pole fell down and didn't know that they were a big and stern man, not the members sitting in the Bran Empire Parliament. So as soon as the atmosphere eased, then there was a serious deviation from the rhythm, which was very happy.
Amid the applause, Feiri echoed and clapped his hands, stood up and smiled, "Since it is two hostile countries, there is nothing to say. Isn't Bran uneasy and want to see us laugh at? Why don't we spread news that the Bran army came to provoke, and then we naturally occupy the military key points?"
"Uh..." Joshia was stunned when she heard this, and then quickly figured out the gains and losses, and found that this was beneficial to them without any harm. And there was no conflict with her plan, which happened to be a good supplement... Well, the method was a bit detrimental.
"Hey, this idea is good. Not only has it become famous, but the military principles have not been lost. It is the reason why the division is famous." Although Joshia's words have already opened up the knots of everyone, the civil servants who had been in a while still did not want to completely gain their reputation. Now, after hearing Fei Rui's idea of winning two goals, he was very happy to agree.
The generals of the various armies had no objection to this, but what they thought was not that complicated. They just thought that this would not only occupy the important military path, but also piss the other party, which was wonderful.
Frey even patted Ferry's thin shoulders and looked serious: "Discuss you, don't work in the logistics department, that's not where men should stay. It's better to be transferred to the combat team. Believe me, you have the potential to become a cunning fox on the battlefield!"
"Haha..." Fei Rui smiled without saying a word when he heard this. He was joking with his small body and body to the combat team. It is hard to say whether he could become a cunning fox on the battlefield, but the dead fox should be sure.
Frey was just a joke. Seeing that Frey didn't respond or care, he continued to ask with a smile: "Since all the ideas are out, then we can solve the remaining problems together. Where is the Bran army that came to provoke... Well, you don't want our soldiers to pretend to be?"
"How can that be? The sword is without eyes." Fei Rui's eyes flashed suddenly, and he waved his hand and said quickly, "I have thought about it. That's not a military road. Now that the front line of Bran is so tight, there must be a lot of material teams passing by here and transporting it to the front line. This is the 'Bran army that comes to provoke'. We intercepted it and not only occupied the military road, but also made a big profit. Haha, what do you think of this idea... Well? Why don't you talk anymore? Can you give me some advice..."
Not only Frey couldn't speak, but in fact, when Feiri revealed the plan, the central army's tent was already silent. Everyone stared at the guy who mentioned making a big fortune, and even his eyes were radiating with gold coins, and he was completely speechless.
After a moment of pause, Frey shook his head speechlessly: "I was wrong. You are not a cunning fox on the battlefield, you are an eternal iron cock. It's better to stay in the logistics department and show your talents. The combat team really can't tolerate you, the great god!"
"Well……"
"Ha ha……"
...
There is no doubt that if the problem belonging to the Gray-Clothed Army is solved, then the trouble will come to Bran's side.
I have to say that Bran has been in bad luck in the past few years, with many disasters and difficulties! Today, the Northern Wilderness tribe, the gray-clothed army, one outside and the other inside, has no connection between the two, but now they are doing the same thing tacitly, that is, constantly shaking and destroying the foundation of this behemoth.
Time is such an interesting thing.
The Bran Empire, the king who has stood on the Xize Continent for nearly a thousand years, has become lush with leaves and deep roots as time accumulates. But it is precisely because of these passing times that it has become more like a broken ship, riddled with holes and shaking.
