Chapter 290 The Battle of Arat (Retreat)
"First! The other party has a very efficient command agency. This agency should not be one person or several people, but a group of people. They can formulate very correct tactics based on perfect intelligence. Yue Wushen paused after saying it.
"Why does the general think the number of opponents is quite large?" A general asked doubtfully.
"Because the other party's command has no personality, that is to say, there is no specific style, their assault, defense, and even sometimes taking risks are all correct choices based on careful consideration." Yue Wushen finished speaking and looked into the distance.
"That is to say, they have always been a group of generals studying combat plans, rather than being arbitrary. If they are a person, they will always have preferences and habits, such as attack, defense, sneak attack, and stability, even if they are as powerful as Leon Barton, they can follow." He sighed and said.
"They have no trace. For example, this time, we used their eagerness to end the war to set up a trap. At the beginning, their fierce attack was indeed fooled, because no one would pay such a bloody effort for fraud. However, they adjusted their strategy in time according to the intelligence they got and the state of the army. This opponent is not easy to mess with.
Yue Wushen did not wait for others to ask questions and continued to explain his point of view: "This institution must focus on understanding! Although it's a pity, I can't learn it even though I envy it.
A general got up and asked, "General is joking. We are all kind people and can accept other people's opinions with an open mind. Why do you say we can't learn?"
"This is the second point I want to say about the power of the other party!" Yue Wushen said, "The opponent's command method!" As soon as he said this, his generals were stunned. What was the means of command?
"The speed of the other party's order makes me envious. If they are willing to give up this method, why not give them the Southeast City State?" The moon sighed.
"General, are you exaggeration? The other party's command communication is nothing more than flags and firelight, which we have seen with our own eyes. A general curled his lips and said.
"That's just a phenomenon that the opponent deliberately showed you in order to cover up their means!" Yue Wushen waved his hand and said, "We also use these means, but we are more than twice as slow as our opponents, and outside the visual range, it is even more different."
"This is also a necessary condition for many generals to formulate tactics together. Imagine that if we are on the battlefield, we may have won the results after discussion, but the opponent can make up for it with the time to send a message, so we can't learn it." Yue Wushen sighed again and said.
"What about the third point?" A general was obviously unconvinced and got up and asked.
"Third? The third is such an elite army! Don't be greedy for merit, don't make a bold move, prohibit the order, be neat and uniform, cooperate with perfect command methods, and an efficient general team. This is really a terrible thing. If you just take advantage of the magic cannon, it's easy to do. Yue Wushen said as he walked down the mountain.
"Let's retreat, or we will be prisoners in a while!" After a few steps, Yue Wushen turned around and said, "If any of you use those magic cannons on the opposite side, the generals here and I still have to work so hard?" Several tricks and sacrificed some costs also grabbed a few magic cannons to study, but they didn't give us this opportunity!"
Soon, the two-wing troops of the Holy Sword Principality that chased up filled the gap left by the Yongye Army. After three days of bitter battle, Moon Wude did not achieve the goal of looting the magic cannon. Moreover, the Yongye Army lost a large number of troops in defense and counterattack operations, which also caused parts of Arante to be occupied by the Principality of Holy Sword.
However, the Principality of Shengjian only pushed the defense line forward by more than 70 kilometers, far from completing the previously expected 200-kilometer battle plan. This failure also frustrated Arcado's hope of relying on the Eastern offensive to force the Southeast City and the Eternal Night Empire to end the war.
"The veteran Yue Wushen is worthy of being the god of the army. The battle plan is watertight. Dozens of staff officers of our army are barely dealing with it, and they have not got any advantage at all." Arcado, far away in Romer, the Duchy of Lomek, closed the report of the Battle of Arant and sighed.
Just as Arcado and a group of generals and officials of the Principality of the Holy Sword were tortured by the problems of fighting on two fronts, a team of envoys was ushered in the camp of the Eternal Night Imperial Army in Arante.
Dozens of bodyguards guarded an official and went straight into the Shenzhong army tent. As soon as they met the messenger, they knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "I have seen General Yue, Prince Yue. This time, I have brought your majesty's order and ask General Yue to withdraw the army immediately."
"Has your majesty said the reason?" Yue Wushen frowned and asked. He knew that his troops could no longer make a difference. At this time, he did not send reinforcements in China, but he had the intention to retreat. It seemed that he had the intention to understand this battle.
"In order to prepare for this war, China has spent more than 15 million gold coins and lost more than 500,000 troops, but nothing has been obtained. Your Majesty can no longer withstand the pressure of the domestic economic situation." He took a step forward and said in Yue Wushen's ear.
Yue Wushen knew that this battle had suffered heavy losses, and the eldest prince had been ordered to stay at home to think about it. The whole country reacted strongly to the news of Arante's defeat. Compared with the Holy Sword Principality here, Yue Wushen rushed back to the dark city of the imperial capital to stabilize the situation.
"What did the second prince say?" After thinking for a while, Yue Wushen did not give an order, but asked again.
The envoy raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and whispered in Yue Wushen's ear again, "Your Highness knew that the general would ask, so he told me a few words. He said, 'The old general is difficult to support alone. Our military reinforcements are limited. There is still a sacred empire staring at the old general in the north. It's better to put it down for a while and take a rest. I plan to.'"
"Order the whole army! 10 kilometers back! I sent a message to the southeast city, saying that we were going to retreat and let them take care of themselves!" Yue Wushen thought for a long time after hearing this, then patted the armrest of the chair and gave the order.
Is my strategy still wrong after all? Although the millennium empire has a thousand years of heritage, it has also witnessed thousands of years of decay!? Rudolf Arcado, you won this time! Next time, my Yue family will return it with interest! Moon thought without a god.
The news that the Yongye Empire wanted to make peace unilaterally with the Duke of Holy Sword quickly spread to Koch City, and the ruling class of the southeast city was instantly filled with a feeling of being betrayed.
At that time, the Muse lifted the table, and the Eternal Night Empire said it would not fight, leaving Muse and his regime with economic difficulties, a lack of troops and displaced civilians in the southeast city.
Now it is impossible for the mues to fight. Once the war continues and lack foreign aid, the southeast city-state with insufficient troops cannot be the opponent of the Holy Sword Principality.
There is only one way to live in front of the mues and others, that is, to go to the Principality of the Holy Sword with the envoys of the Eternal Night Empire to negotiate, take advantage of the east wind of the Eternal Night Empire to stop the war and retain the last breath of the southeast city-state.
