If the Elder’s face was still iron blue a second ago, now his face was completely ashen, and for a few moments he was even a little unsteady on his feet and almost fainted.
Although he had been alerted to the fact that something was not quite right when Han Qianqian retreated, and that something might have gone wrong with the city defence of Night Sky City, he could not help but feel his blood churning when he actually heard the confirming news.
What was even worse was that his own stupid men hadn’t reflected on the reasoning behind it even now.
“I don’t know this either, but the two defences of Night Sky City have indeed fallen, and the spies who came here specifically asked me to report this to you, and at the same time, the three marshals defending the city have also jointly submitted their names at the same time, and they will definitely defend the last one to the death.”
“Humph, ridiculous, ridiculous, really ridiculous.” The elder drank with disdain, “The four defences of Night Sky City, if
we lose two sides, that is, three city defences have already fallen to the enemy, what is the point of holding on to one side?”
“Do the four idiots really think that if they can’t defend three sides, they can hold on to one side?”
The fact that the three sides were at an angle to each other meant that they had a larger defensive area, a wide enough line of sight, and enough strategic buffer zones to use, so they could react to the enemy’s movements at the earliest opportunity and coordinate their movements to deal with them.
This is the ideal maximisation of advantage.
Conversely, if the soldiers are united in one place, they face a three-pronged attack from the enemy.
It doesn’t lead to a dead end, but think of it another way: if you can’t defend when you have such an advantage, what are you going to play with when you don’t have any!
“I’m just afraid that these fools will not be able to defend themselves, and that they will take my little bit of morale
It’s the depletion of my soldiers that’s most detestable and irritating.” The Elder said in disgust.
“Even now, I still can’t believe why the city’s defences were lost.”
“Yes, we …… we simply counted on nothing, how …… could Han Qianqian and the others have lost our city defense under such circumstances?”
The elder let out a long breath and shook his head, “We’ve all been tricked by Han Qianqian.”
Han Qianqian appeared to have attacked the main camp in order to allow his feathered troops to break out, but in reality his real aim was to eat up the city defences.
Only, in this case, he had gone around in a few more circles, repeatedly utilising the trick of transferring the tiger away from the mountain, forming several schemes within a scheme.
“This Han Qianqian’s intelligence is simply superb, even I can’t help but admire him.” The elder raised his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Perhaps, he was reviewing Han Qianqian’s entire plan.
He had deliberately created the atmosphere that he wanted to break out
But he also knew very well that his side would never trust him completely and thus surround him with troops in a headlong rush.
He played his game and did not reveal anything.
Then, in turn, he sent his men to attack the place where he really needed to fight.
The city defences of Night Sky City.
“Just how on earth did this guy do that?”
This, too, he did not quite understand.
“According to the scouts, it was a group of men who first attacked one of the city defences, leading to great disorder there, and the other two sides were going to support them, but then found that there seemed to be enemies at their own place as well.”
“In the heat of the moment, the support slowed down a little, and the first city defence that was attacked began to cope a little harder. It was then that the men from the second and third defences realised that the enemy around them was actually just bluffing, and only after they had observed the frontal garrison and confirmed that there were no troops there, did they rush to support them.”
“But which
But as soon as the men from the two defences arrived here, their respective nests were taken out.”
Hearing this, a group of people looked at each other; procedurally, there didn’t seem to be any problem with the disposition of any of the three city defences or patrols.
But the central question was, how had the lairs behind them somehow been taken out?
“As far as I know, Han Qianqian’s side doesn’t seem to have that many troops at its disposal, does it?”
“Yes, the battle line is so long, how many men does he have? Even if two or three city defences went to support the first one that was beaten, there should be quite a few men left in place, shouldn’t this be enough to defend the city? After all, the frontal troops on the other side haven’t moved.”
The elder chuckled, “And what if the frontal troops had moved?”
With one word, the group of people froze, the scouts clearly said that the frontal garrison had not moved ……
