Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 465

"Sir, here comes Chief Ronald Harper of the Third Brigade of the Third Army."

The voice of his subordinates pulled Richard Bono from the map to reality. He returned to his mind and looked at the stranger who walked in behind Drew, the commander of the Second Regiment. Richard frowned slightly, and soon stretched out again. , Stood upright, stretched out his hand to the man, and said: "I am Richard Bono, the commander of the 3rd Brigade of the Second Army, welcome your army to Slade, and hope that we can cooperate sincerely in the future. Together we will defeat the enemy for your majesty."

Ronald stretched out his hand and shook the hand passed over, smiling, and said: "I am Ronald Harper of the 3rd Army and 3rd Brigade. If I am in the military academy, I should call you. I'm a long time speaker, because I am a graduate of the third semester."

"Ha, that's a coincidence."

The two held their hands for a while and then released them. Then Richard pointed to the chair placed aside and said, "Please sit down. The conditions in the barracks are simple, but my instructor said that only a difficult environment can do it. A tough soldier is honed."

Ronald nodded, pulled out the chair and sat down. Before he could sit down, Richard pointed to the map on the desk and said, "My scout brought me a new message. At the border line of the Svačić area controlled by the enemy and our army, the Oponians were heavily guarded. At the border between Svačíč and Bararia, the Bararias also deployed heavy forces and built a large number of The castle stronghold seems to be preparing for a protracted battle with us."

"I think the Oponians should be expelled from Swačić first, otherwise they can always pose a threat to our army's military presence in Swačić." Ronald said.

"I think so too." Richard wrapped his arms around his chest, one hand dragged his chin, and nodded in agreement, but then he changed the conversation, "Look at the map, the Oponian and Bararias People form a pincer angle between each other. If we attack either side, the other side will outflank each other, so we must divide our forces."

Ronald immediately understood what he meant, and immediately took his words, saying: "The soldiers are divided into two lines, all the way to attack the Oponian line of defense, all the way to the Bararias rushing to support the road. The next formation ensures that the military operation against Opogonia can proceed smoothly."

"Yeah." Richard nodded, but shook his head again, and didn't continue to speak, but asked: "Have you seen the battle of the Battle of Pintus?"

"Uh...no." Ronald shook his head honestly.

Upon seeing this, Richard smiled helplessly and replied: "During the Battle of Pintus, the second brigade commander Gilad Pulis left his second regiment to support another enemy army. An ambush was set up on the only way to successfully annihilate the main enemy cavalry as the vanguard, forcing the enemy infantry to detour, delaying the fighter plane, and finally leading to the annihilation of the entire army."

"If we can follow the example of Commander Pulis and set up an ambush on the only way supported by the Bararias, what do you think will happen to the enemy?"

"The loss is heavy, and then dare not to advance to support?" Ronald said speculatively.

"This is one of the possibilities." Richard said with a smile, "They encountered an ambush and returned in a terrible defeat. Naturally, their military spirit was low. If our ambushing troops jumped out of the ambush point and pursued them all the way, do you think they would tear Bara in one fell swoop? The group of strongholds set up by the Riya on the border?"

"I know this is really a fantasy, but, as your senior, I still have to teach you a truth. If you want to win, in addition to conventional factors, you also need some imagination of the commander."

"..." Ronald did not speak. He was thinking about the possible success rate proposed by Richard. After a while, he spoke and said: "Although I agree with you, I want to use this opportunity to directly tear it away. It is really incredible to split the border defense line of the Bararias. Even if our army uses artillery to attack, it will take a long time to break through, not to mention the ambush without heavy equipment."

Hearing this, Richard smiled helplessly, and did not go further. He changed the subject and said: "Harper, how much do you think the Fu army should be deployed, compared to the number of reinforcements that the Bararias might send. , I think it’s enough to keep one regiment."

"One regiment is more than enough. If you don't mind, I can let my second regiment act as an ambush force."

"Huh? Don't you ask me how many reinforcements the Bararias might send?" Richard asked.

"I believe your judgment, my dear senior." Ronald said disapprovingly. He got up, looked at the map on the desktop, his face suddenly changed, and said, "Bono, did you ignore a possibility? ."

"what?"

"The Bararians did not go to support the Oponian line of defense according to our speculation, but instead attacked Slade directly, cutting off our back and supply lines."

At the end of the speech, Richard's face changed slightly. Ronald's words reminded him that it is indeed possible for the Bararias to cut off their back. The consecutive victories made him somewhat underestimate the enemy, so that he missed such an important point. Point.

"You're right, Ronald, I was really negligent." Richard said apologetically, and the name Ronald was changed from last name to first name in the words, which meant to show closeness.

"It looks like you can only take your headquarters to attack the Oponia defense line." Ronald didn't care. He smiled slightly and said: "I will lead the headquarters to stay behind and keep your back and supply lines."

"Then it can only be this~lightnovelpub.net~ Richard said helplessly. The establishment of a brigade with only two regiments makes him a little unable to use it. If only his brigade undertakes the offensive mission in this area, then It is estimated that it is bound to be defeated. The enemy is several times more than oneself, or it is in a state of attacking from both sides and running out of ammunition and food. In this situation, only God can come back.

After the decision was made, Richard took Ronald out of the command room, but before going out, Ronald suddenly remembered something and quickly asked: "Is there a king in the Fauzis Palace?"

"King?" Richard, who was questioned, was taken aback, without thinking, he replied directly: "Old King Titos fell into the hands of the Bararias after our army abandoned Swaczy, and was punished. Treason was hanged, and the new king they supported fled to the oponian control area after we came back. The current king is King James, James Axman."

"That……"

Before Ronald had spoken, Richard understood the question he wanted to ask, shrugged helplessly, and said: "After King James was crowned, he did train a group of new troops with the assistance of our army. But you also know that the fighting power of the Swaqiqis is not high, so don't have hope for them. It's okay to let them assist in defending the city. Other things, forget it."

"All right……"
