Hearing this, Lieutenant General Luo Ning also had to sigh with emotion.
Yes, Kane's words are very reasonable. Back then, Li Yi was just a little casual, and he was able to attract death. Now these veterans of the empire, whether in terms of strength, qualifications, or prestige, are not comparable to the newly appointed Emperor Kevin. Therefore, if the old king of the Tianlan Empire really had concerns about his veterans, then maybe he had already done a good job when he left. Maybe once the war stops, then it's time for your people to be stabbed.
After sighing helplessly again, Lieutenant General Luo Ning made a senseless prayer to himself, and Lieutenant General Luo Ning finally put away Xinzhong's fear.
Shaking his head vigorously, Lieutenant General Luo Ning pointed to the combat map, and said to Captain Kane with a serious face: "Kane, don't talk about those groundless things. Since our brothers chose to serve the motherland, we should stand on the last shift now. If the Empire really needs us to make sacrifices after the Great War, then why not give this life to the Empire. Come on, let's take a closer look at this map, and the two of us should discuss it and see how the next battle will be fought. ”
Hearing Lieutenant General Luo Ning's words, Commander Kane immediately made a look of applause and said yes, and immediately came up to Lieutenant General Luo Ning, showing the same serious appearance as Lieutenant General Luo Ning. But in fact, deep in the heart of Captain Kane, he couldn't help but secretly say: "Hehe, Luo Ning, you can be so noble, but I don't have your kind of awareness." I can die, but my descendants must not suffer because of me. You are your national hero, and I am for my descendants, but I have decided to be my bear honestly. ”
Thinking like this in his heart, although Captain Kane clearly knew what kind of problems the Tianlan Empire was facing now, but at the moment, Captain Kane didn't want to show the shrewdness he used to be, even if it was his closest old comrades.
Therefore, after Commander Kane came to Lieutenant General Luo Ning's side, although he looked like Lieutenant General Luo Ning was meditating, but after being silent for a long time, Commander Kane just pretended to open his mouth and said to Lieutenant General Luo Ning: "This, I feel, the biggest problem that our Tianlan underestimates now is naturally the problem of grain and grass. After so many years of constant harassment from the outside world, our Tianlan Empire has not been able to recuperate in the true sense of the word. Therefore, it is the most appropriate to use the external strength and the middle cadre to describe our current Tianlan Empire. From an outsider's point of view, we have an army of one million, and even the number of troops mobilized to fight can exceed one million. However, there are pros and cons to everything, and although a million army sounds good, it is not easy to solve the problem of feeding a million soldiers at the same time. Therefore, this seemingly victorious battle is fundamentally a big challenge to our Tianlan Empire. If we can't end this battle in a short time, then it is unknown who will win and who will lose this battle. ”
Listening to Commander Kane's eloquent talk, Lieutenant General Luo Ning's originally frowning brows finally relaxed, and a relieved expression finally appeared on his face.
Luo Ning thought secretly, it seemed that although his old friend looked confused on the surface, he was actually very familiar with the overall situation of the Tianlan Empire.
After smiling with relief, Lieutenant General Luo Ning also eagerly said to Commander Kane: "So, according to you, what kind of method do we have to adopt this time to achieve victory?" ”
"This ...... It's hard to say. Luo Ning, after so many years of fighting, don't you understand? Although before the war, he knew himself and his opponent, and anticipated the general possible battle situation, which was something that a general and a commander could do. But at the same time, you have to remember. Although we are the commanders of the army, we are only one person at the same time. If we try to plan the battle before the war begins, then we are not human, but gods. In fact, God knows, even if the gods descend to earth, it is unknown whether they can predict everything in the future. Therefore, although we should plan everything before the war, we should not be too reluctant to do these many things that cannot be done by manpower. Looking thoughtfully at Lieutenant General Ronin, Commander Kane said as if he was careless.
However, after listening to Commander Kane's opinion, Lieutenant General Luo Ning couldn't help frowning again, and then said suspiciously: "What you said is not unreasonable, it's just that we formulated a big operational policy before the war, so what's wrong with that." Although we are not saints or gods, with so many years of combat experience, we should still be able to do this if we want our army to avoid the problem of being unable to succeed. ”
"Huh." Hearing Lieutenant General Luo Ning's words, Legion Commander Kane first sneered. After that, he said slowly: "Luo Ning, to be honest, I really can't imagine that in this conquest, we can have any other way than to win with a huge advantage in troops." If you think about it carefully, the dignified king of a country, Emperor Kevin the Great, had already begun to take over the political affairs of our Tianlan Empire long before he ascended the throne. You and I all know about His Majesty's dedication to cultivation. So if you say that Kevin the Great doesn't know the predicament of our empire right now, then you really underestimate him. But in this case, why did Emperor Kevin gather a million troops to fight against the Yanlong Legion, instead of just dispatching an army of 500,000 to fight the Yanlong Legion with the good personal qualities of our army soldiers. There is no other reason than that, if we have fewer troops on this expedition, we will certainly not achieve an overwhelming advantage in the situation. If that happens, our advantage will be gone. And the Yanlong Legion, as the side that holds on, still has many defensive advantages. Under the circumstances of this and the other, the consumption to be borne after this battle is not necessarily less than the consumption of this million army. ”
"What do you mean is that Emperor Kevin is actually aware of the current problems of our empire, so he will send such a huge combat legion to conquer the Yanlong Legion under tremendous pressure?" Hearing this, Lieutenant General Luo Ning couldn't help but speak.
"Exactly, think carefully about Kevin the Great's thoughts. In fact, his intention was already obvious, he was going to take advantage of the numerical advantage this time to knock down the current fierce Yanlong Legion in one go. In this operation, we don't need to plan or plan, what we have to do is nothing more than to let the army as a whole press down, so that many battles can be easily won. As long as we achieve a decisive victory on the frontal battlefield, then no matter what kind of conspiracy and trickery they come up with, they will not be able to resist our million-strong army in the end. Captain Kane spoke eloquently, as if he had figured out all the thoughts of Kevin the Great, and said all the thoughts in his heart.
Hearing Kane's words, Lieutenant General Luo Ning tasted it carefully, and felt that it seemed to be very reasonable. In the end, Lieutenant General Luo Ning finally gave up his pre-war plan, and sat in the war hall with Kane for a long time and chatted.
The two old generals of the Tianlan Empire thought that they had figured out the thoughts of the imperial king, so they both became relaxed.
But it was because of this cleverness that the army of the Tianlan Empire unconsciously walked into a misunderstanding. It was this small mistake that was enough to cause this expedition to fail. However, the two veterans were ignorant of this, and after recomparing the strength of the two sides, they both felt that after rushing to the south of Sai in one go, they would inevitably easily win the final victory.
Sure enough, the facts proved all this.
When the two discussed the results, they ordered the next day to begin the final campaign against the Yanlong Legion. The army of millions was drawn out in a mighty way, and the length of the army was very impressive. When the vanguard of the Tianlan Empire was about to arrive at the southern border of Said, the rear of the troops had just walked out of the Seine King City.
It was with this huge army that the Tianlan Empire had the advantage at the very beginning of the conquest of the Yanlong Legion.
As the two expected, although the Yanlong Legion has developed over the years, it is now superior in strength. But this time, what they faced was the fiercest revenge of the Tianlan Empire. And because the Yanlong Legion had to divide its troops to guard the fortresses in various regions, the defensive forces in each fortress did not reach that large.
It has only been about half a month since the start of the war, and the Yanlong Legion's sphere of influence has been seriously reduced. From five provinces before the war, to three provinces today. Ning'an Province, which had just fallen into the hands of the Yanlong Legion, had not yet been covered by the Yanlong Legion, and it had become the bag of the Tianlan Empire.
Jingchuan Province is also because of its geographical location, and it is difficult to avoid falling into the hands of the Tianlan Empire.
The Tianlan Empire won successive battles, and even in the later stage, many of the defenders in the fortresses of the Yanlong Legion immediately abandoned the city and fled from the city before the army of the Tianlan Empire was about to conquer there.
In this way, it has further boosted the prestige of the Tianlan Empire's army. The Yanlong Legion has gone from being defeated at the beginning of the war to fleeing without a fight. Gradually, even the ordinary soldiers in the army of the Tianlan Empire began to think that the strength of the Yanlong Legion troops was no more than that. They all began to wonder how such a force could have integrated the entire southern territory of Saidan.
In this regard, Lieutenant General Luo Ning and Commander Kane were also puzzled.
It is said that although before the start of the war, the two had foreseen the victory of the war. But now, when the two of them saw that the victory was not only coming as expected, but even coming a little too violently. There were too many seemingly child's playful victories, which made both of them begin to wonder if the Yanlong Legion was planning some conspiracy.
However, the two of them have been on the battlefield for a long time, not to mention that they have experienced a hundred battles, but to say that the two have won more than 100 victories. But even so, Lieutenant General Luo Ning and Captain Kane worked hard, and they couldn't figure out what kind of conspiracy the Yanlong Legion could play by doing this.
But Lieutenant General Ronin and Commander Kane, who thought they had everything under control, ignored a question at the same time.
That is, since the beginning of the war, although the army of the Tianlan Empire has passed all the way, won successive battles, and obtained dozens of large and small cities. But from beginning to end, the army of the Tianlan Empire had never had a decisive battle on a real scale with the troops of the Yanlong Legion.
When seizing the city, the Tianlan Empire never encountered too strong a block. Even many cities, when the army of the Tianlan Empire arrived, there were no troops of the Yanlong Legion stationed in those cities.
In this way, although the Tianlan Empire now seems to have the upper hand, not only has it never been defeated or violently resisted since the start of the war, but it has even captured many cities. However, if Lieutenant General Luo Ning and Commander Kane observe more carefully, they will find that although the Yanlong Legion is retreating, even the territory is about to shrink. But their army, since the beginning of the war, has not suffered a real blow.
Not to mention that the current troops of the Yanlong Legion are intact, but their casualties are indeed very small. But it was such a detail that Lieutenant General Ronin and Commander Kane should have discovered, but they were also human beings, and now that they had been carried away by the victory, they didn't notice this detail at all.
Seeing that the army of the Yanlong Legion was so vulnerable, it was even weaker than expected. Lieutenant General Luo Ning believes that the territory that has been captured will inevitably become the territory of the Tianlan Empire in the future. Therefore, every time he occupies a city, Lieutenant General Luo Ning always has to divide his troops to defend it.
In this way, not only can you suppress the resistance of the local people, but also make the captured city your own transit point, so that your supply troops can pass through it safely. Only in this way can we ensure the sustained combat capability of the forward combat units to the greatest extent.
But just when Lieutenant General Luo Ning and Captain Kane were happily receiving victory reports one after another, on the side of the Yanlong Legion, Bettina was now in extreme pain.
Since the beginning of the war, in order to avoid the loss of her own troops, Bettina has been hiding if she can, and will never give the Tianlan Empire a chance to fight a decisive battle. At the same time, in order not to make the Tianlan Empire suspicious, Bettina always had to choose between the troops from time to time, and she had to choose to sacrifice a group of troops at the right time. Only in this way can we continue to confuse the army commanders of the Tianlan Empire.
But despite all the hard work for this, in just over half a month, Bettina became miserable because of the war. But her subordinates couldn't understand her thoughts, seeing that the famous female god of war in the southern realm of Sai, when she was confronting the Tianlan Empire, not only could she not show her former power, but even this female god of war might be because she was afraid of the large forces of the Tianlan Empire, and now she has become as timid as a mouse.
As long as there is a war, the Yanlong Legion will hide if it can, and flee if it can. After more than half a month, the soldiers of the Yanlong Legion, who were originally a little afraid of the Tianlan Empire's conquest army, have now become extremely angry. These fighters are true heroes who can accept defeat, but not escape. If it's defeat, that's it. But more than half a month has passed, let alone a decisive battle, and even small-scale resistance battles have rarely appeared.
After more than half a month of fighting, the enemy did not see much. The territory of his own legion is shrinking rapidly, and in such a situation, how can the soldiers in the army not have other thoughts in their hearts.
