Chapter 906: Blitzkrieg (I)

"El, you just said that these are all your guesses."

Nikita said to El in a calm tone.

"El, you made great contributions in the "Iron Hammer" operation last year, which shows that you still have outstanding military talents."

"But even so, you still lack some combat experience on the battlefield."

"What if that Deng Jiaer gathered the elite cavalry in the army to launch a raid?"

"We are more than 60 miles away from them."

"Even if the elite cavalry is dispatched to run these more than 60 miles, it will take at least half a day."

"Half a day - such a long time is enough for the scouts to send back the news of their dispatch and let me make all preparations for the battle."

"So we don't have to worry at all. Even if that Deng Jiaer really leads the elite cavalry to attack, we have enough time to prepare for the battle."

Nikita rejected El's suggestion in a firm tone.

El, who did not give up, wanted to persuade Nikita again.

But Nikita simply couldn't listen to anything El said, and stubbornly believed that there was no need to torture the soldiers and keep them on alert.

After persuading them to no avail, El, who finally chose to give up, sighed helplessly.

Seeing that El seemed to have finally given up persuading him, Nikita also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if El insisted on persuading him to keep the soldiers on alert, he really didn't know how to get rid of El.

"El." Nikita put on a warm smile again, "It's already night, why don't you rest here tonight and go back to the baggage corps tomorrow morning. I will have someone prepare a comfortable tent for you."

As soon as Nikita finished speaking, El declined:

"No, no, thank you for your kindness, Nikita." El showed Nikita a polite smile, "It's not too late now, I'd better go back."

Different baggage corps have different locations.

The baggage troop led by El was stationed the farthest from the camp of the combat troops.

Even if riding a fast horse, it would take more than 8 hours to make a round trip.

If El left now, he would not be able to return to his baggage troop camp until late at night.

As soon as El finished speaking, Nikita immediately said a lot of polite phrases commonly used to retain guests.

After Nikita and El exchanged polite words for a long time, Nikita nodded with a look of "regret".

"Well, El, since you insist on going back, I won't force you anymore."

"It's late at night now, there will inevitably be some dangers, I will send a few people to escort you."

For Nikita's proposal, El did not refuse and readily agreed.

After watching El leave his tent and confirming that he really went far away, Nikita breathed a sigh of relief again.

"Great, he finally left."

Nikita murmured.

"If he intends to stay here and persuade me,

then I really don't know how to send him away..."

"Although he has some talent, he still has too little experience in fighting on the battlefield."

At this point, Nikita's mouth twitched and he sneered a few times.

"He doesn't think that he has made a great contribution in the "Iron Hammer" battle, so he thinks that he is a military genius like Su Cheng who can win battles continuously even without any battlefield combat experience?"

"Although he has some talent, this El still needs more training."

After saying that, Nikita completely forgot about the meeting with El just now, and continued to look at the map on the table, thinking about the next action.

……

It was not until late at night that El returned safely to the camp of his baggage troop under the escort of the guards.

After returning to his own tent, El, who was already exhausted, fell directly on his bed, and he didn't even have the strength to take off his coat and shoes.

However, just when El was planning to sleep until the next morning, his adjutant, Kuci, suddenly broke in and thwarted his plan.

"Bernard, you are back?"

Before entering El's tent, Kuci shouted outside El's tent.

"Yes, I am back."

El was not angry about Kuci's interruption of his sleep.

Instead, he smiled a tired and helpless smile and said to Kuci who had just entered the tent:

"I know what you want to ask me. You want to ask me why I suddenly went to the combat unit, right?"

"Bernard, you are so awesome..." Kuci cast an admiring look at El, "You guessed it exactly..."

El sat up from the bed and then whispered:

"The reason why I suddenly ran to the combat unit was actually to give some advice to Commander Nikita."

"Advice?" Kuci asked in confusion.

"I hope Commander Nikita can keep his soldiers on alert."

After that, El told Kuci all his guesses about Deng Jiaer's strategy.

After listening to El's guesses quietly, Kuci scratched his head:

"First Bernard, I don't know much about combat and strategy."

"But I think Commander Nikita's point of view makes more sense."

"Our two armies are now more than 60 miles apart."

"Even if the Britannia army uses elite cavalry to launch a long-distance raid, the time they spend running here is enough for us to make all the preparations for the battle."

"So I think Commander Nikita is right. Now there is really no need to keep the soldiers on alert."

"We have been in a long, high-intensity confrontation before. Now it is time for the soldiers to relax."

"Alas..."

As soon as Kuci finished speaking, El sighed lightly.

"Forget it, I have done everything I can."

"I have no control over what will happen next."

After that, El lay back on the bed.

"Okay, I'm tired now and want to rest."

"Well, then I'll take my leave first."

...

...

El did not fall asleep immediately.
