Chapter 319 The Most Invincible and Unsolvable Art of War in the World
The main force of the Luolin Army commanded by Baal is the commander's camp.
All the generals of the main force were gathered in the commander's camp at this time, gathering around a long table to hold a military meeting.
Sitting on the main seat was naturally the leader of the main force and the commander-in-chief of the entire army - Barr.
The theme of the military meeting held this time was to study the next offensive direction of their main force.
Since the success of "Operation Headless Snake" and the successful defeat of Albert in the Battle of Sola, although it is very regrettable that Albert led the remaining army to escape from the Sola Mountains, failing to defeat Albert's The Central Route Army was completely wiped out in the Sola Mountains.
However, in order to make up for this regret, after the Battle of Sola, Barr integrated all the combat forces under his command and called back all the troops who were at the forefront to lure Albert into the Sola Mountains.
After this series of battles, Baal's remaining fighting strength was only about 90,000 men.
After integrating all the combat forces under his command and taking a short rest, Barr immediately sent out his troops to pursue Albert's remaining army!
The battlefield is always a very dramatic place. Originally, Albert sent his troops to chase Barr. However, in an instant, the two people's positions were completely reversed, and it became Barr who sent his troops to cover up Albert.
Albert had less than 30,000 fighting men left. Due to the reduction in the size of his army and the stimulation of his strong desire to survive, Albert's remnant army fled very quickly.
So fast that Barr could never catch up with Albert.
Albert first led the remaining army to retreat to the Urla Plain, picking up the wounded soldiers who had originally been placed on the Urla Plain in order to speed up the march, as well as the troops responsible for protecting the wounded soldiers.
As for the baggage that was abandoned on the Urla Plain in order to speed up the pursuit of Barr, Albert chose to abandon all of it in order not to slow down the retreat.
Albert discarded the baggage on the Urla Plain, which were bulky and difficult-to-carry materials similar to "giant siege crossbows".
Although Albert discarded these supplies and part of the food and grass here in order not to slow down the retreat, Albert would not be stupid enough to leave these supplies here in vain and let Barr pick them up to benefit the enemy.
When retreating from the Urla Plain, Albert burned all the discarded baggage in a fire, never allowing Barr to take advantage or benefiting the enemy.
After picking up the wounded soldiers from the Urla Plain, Albert led the remaining army to retreat northward, escaping Barr's pursuit.
This drama of you chasing me and escaping has been going on for many days.
Of course Barr would not just let go of Albert, who had caused him so much suffering and brought so much harm to their Rollin Empire.
Therefore, Barr has been clinging to the back of Albert's remnant army, as if he will never give up until Albert's entire army is annihilated.
However, as time passed, many of Barr's generals began to complain about this.
Many generals believe that the winner has been decided on their central front, and that Albert's central army has been completely crippled. No matter how good Albert is, he will not be able to defeat another enemy with just the 20,000 troops at his disposal. What storm is coming.
Therefore, it is meaningless to pursue Albert, who is no longer a threat. What we need to do now is not to waste precious combat power chasing an enemy who has no power to fight back. Support other fronts to defeat the Britannia Empire's West Route Army and East Route Army, which still have full combat power.
Of course, while many generals expressed opposition to Barr's action of pursuing Albert, there were also many generals who expressed support for Barr's action.
Many generals also believe that it is precisely because Albert's center army has no power to fight back that they have to pursue Albert even more. The nightmare——Albert Formation is here!
If we don’t hurry up and take advantage of the moment when Albert’s combat power is at its weakest,
If Albert is completely eliminated, then if Albert escapes back and launches the "8th Southern Offensive" and "9th Southern Offensive" against the Rollin Empire, then there may be no more There is a great opportunity like this to kill Albert!
All in all, the generals of the main force of Luo Lin's army are now divided into two factions.
One group believes that Albert, who has no power to fight back, should be put down to support the other two fronts and annihilate Allen's West Route Army, which still has full combat power, and Su Cheng's East Route Army.
The other faction believes that they should seize the great opportunity now that Albert's combat power is very weak and continue to pursue Albert. They must kill the Albert Formation here, which poses a major threat to their Luo Lin Empire.
The military meeting held today is to completely resolve this dispute and decide the next direction of the main force's attack - whether to support other fronts or continue to pursue Albert.
As soon as the meeting began, the generals of the two groups started a fierce quarrel. The generals of the two groups argued hard and refused to give in to the other. They all argued until their faces turned red and their necks thickened.
"Short-sighted! You are a bunch of short-sighted guys!! You only care about the outcome of this battle! Instead of paying attention to the future of our empire! Why don't you understand?! As long as Albert dies, we will win this battle. We’re halfway there!! If we fail to kill Albert, what’s the point of repelling the Britannia Empire’s ‘Summer Wind’ offensive?!”
"That's right! As long as Albert is not dead, we will not get any substantial benefits from repelling the Britannia Empire's 'Xia Feng' offensive! Even if the Britannia Empire's 'Xia Feng' offensive this time 'The offensive failed, but as long as Albert is still alive, the Britannia Empire can still let Albert command a new offensive! Let's have another 'Autumn Wind' offensive or a 'Winter Wind' offensive! Our Luolin Empire has suffered The threat remains unchanged!!”
"Could it be that if Albert dies, the threat to our Luo Lin Empire will be reduced?!"
"You all have to value the future of the empire, but I think you are the most short-sighted guys!!"
"What did you say?!"
"Am I wrong?! The Britannia Empire has bright stars! It is full of talents! There are many knights who are as talented as Albert! If Albert dies, the Britannia Empire will be defeated Let another person take charge of the southern defense line! Responsible for dealing with our Luo Lin Empire!"
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if Albert died and the Britannian Empire was furious and transferred the unified knight Iser to the southern front to deal with us?!"
"Albert is now in charge of the southern defense line of the Britannia Empire. With all the strength of the country, we can barely stop Albert! If the Britannia Empire were to replace Albert with someone stronger than Albert, If Serge comes to deal with us, have you ever thought about what consequences we will have?!"
"By keeping Albert, we are protecting the empire in disguise! Let the Britannia Empire not send someone stronger than Albert to take over because there is a vacancy in the head of the southern defense line!"
"If Albert dies! The center of the Britannia Empire will most likely send someone stronger than Albert to take over the position of chief of the empire's southern defense line! For example, the unified knight Iser!"
"What kind of monsters are the United Knights of the Britannia Empire? You should all know it from the history books, right?! The current 12th United Knight - Isel, and the ones before him Each of the 11 Integrated Knights is a monster among monsters! With our current national strength, can we stop the Integrated Knights?! Tell me! Huh?!”
"What's wrong with the United Knights?! Are the United Knights invincible?! Have they never been defeated?! We can tell you about the nearly 300 years since the founding of the Britannian Empire to the present day and night. The battles these 12 unified knights fought were defeated!”
…
Since the meeting began, Barr, who was sitting in the main seat, did not express his opinions. Instead, he sat silently throughout the meeting, with an unpredictable expression on his face.
And who also remained silent the whole time was sitting next to Barr and Barr's close friend, Ciel.
"What's wrong? Ciel." Barr asked in a low voice to Ciel next to him in a calm tone, "Why don't you say a word? Do you have any opinion on the direction of our army's next attack?"
Charles had a sullen face, and after being silent for a while, he said quietly:
"I support continuing to pursue Albert. After annihilating Albert, we can then support other fronts."
"...We both have the same view. I also support continuing to pursue Albert."
Speaking of this, Barr sighed lightly, and then said in a tired tone:
"However, I have to say that those generals who opposed the continued addition of Albert are also very reasonable. After killing Albert, the furious central government of the Britannia Empire will never send Albert The one who is still weak will take over as the general manager of the southern defense line."
"The furious center of the Britannia Empire is very likely to drop the eastern defense line and transfer Iser to the southern defense line, allowing Iser to command the subsequent southern offensive and launch a more fierce retaliatory attack on our Rolin Empire. .”
"It is very possible that our Luolin Empire will be beaten until it is destroyed... Based on the current difference in national power between our empire and the Britannia Empire, if the Britannia Empire launches an attack with the strength of the whole country, the Britannia Empire will The Daniya Empire is indeed capable of beating our Luolin Empire to annihilation..."
At this point, Barr stopped and then let out a long sigh.
When Barr sighed, the livid-faced Ciel said in a deep voice:
"What an irony... We are actually considering whether to let Albert live in order to avoid a more severe retaliatory attack from the Britannia Empire... In the final analysis, our national strength is still too weak. Yeah...our current queen is really...to be honest, I really hope that our emperor, that old woman, can die soon so that she can be replaced by a more reliable emperor."
"Hahaha. "
Barr's face was full of exhaustion, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a helpless and painful smile.
"Yes... our Queen... is really ridiculous... regardless of the survival of the country and only cares about her own enjoyment. Under her rule, the national power of our Luo Lin Empire is declining day by day."
"Most of the Britannia Empire has seen the decline of its national power under the rule of our ridiculous queen, so it decided to launch continuous attacks on us in the past few years, taking advantage of our current decline in national power, to provide Our Luolin Empire has given us a fatal blow and we will never be able to stand up again."
"Char, do you know what is the most invincible and most incomprehensible method of using military force in the world?"
Barr asked himself.
"The most invincible and most incomprehensible way to use military force in the world is to use the strong to bully the weak and to overwhelm the opponent with the absolute difference in strength."
"With the support of strong national power, you don't even need to use any tactics or strategies. You can just use the advantage of strong national power to push the enemy flatly."
"If our Luo Lin Empire's national strength could be stronger, we wouldn't be so worried... We wouldn't need to think about whether to kill Albert for a long time like now."
"If our national strength is strong enough, it will be a question whether the Britannia Empire dares to attack us..."
"In the final analysis... our national strength is still too weak... so that we have been bullied by the Britannias..."
After saying that, Barr sighed again, leaned back, and leaned on the back of the chair tiredly.
His face was full of sadness and helplessness.
at this time--
"Coach! Coach Barr!! Urgent news from the Western Front!!!"
——The shouts of the ordering soldiers suddenly came from outside the camp.
