Chapter 640 Even if there are 50,000 pigs, they won’t~
West Coast Plains.
It's a hundred miles away from Mondo Knight Leader.
"Your Excellency Raymond."
"Just now the news came from the leader of Knight Mondo."
"The forward 50,000 orange troops went forward to build a frontline position."
"An enemy forward infantry force of three thousand men was discovered."
"They captured a hill."
"The location of the hill is key, forming a protruding part that points directly to the frontline position our army is about to build."
"After investigation, this infantry forward of three thousand people does not have any supporting legions."
"They are a lone army."
"The commander of the forward army is asking."
"Should we send troops immediately to destroy them, or should we surround them and encircle the enemy to reinforce them?"
Raymond heard the news.
He waved his hand behind him.
A map was spread out and appeared in front of him.
The soldier who sent the message stepped forward and quickly marked the location of the protrusion.
After seeing this, Raymond looked up at the sky and asked.
"How often do the enemy gryphon legions come to spy on us from the sky recently?"
The adjutant next to him replied.
"About once every five minutes."
"Ten teams conduct a wave of reconnaissance each time, and each team has ten gryphon knights."
"The combat effectiveness of our air corps is low."
"Not their opponent."
"And the magic legion cannot be exposed for the time being."
"So we can't stop the opponent's aerial reconnaissance."
"Besides, these are just the gryphon knights surrounding our large army."
"On the periphery of our large army, there are still a large number of gryphon knights constantly attacking our scout soldiers."
"Our team that went out to investigate suffered serious losses."
"The current reconnaissance range that can be maintained is only fifty miles ahead of the army."
After listening to the report of the subordinate.
Raymond said decisively.
"Order the forward troops to retreat immediately."
"Don't engage the enemy!"
"Establish a forward position on the spot and wait for the main force."
And just after sending it out, Raymond quickly stopped the soldiers who were about to leave.
"No."
"Tell the forward troops to retreat immediately."
"Return to the Mondo Knight Leader!"
This order surprised the messenger soldier.
In fact, not only him, but also the heroes around him were shocked.
Because the retreat of the forward army means giving up fighting with the opponent in the wild.
Transfer to the realm of the Defending Knights.
This kind of tactics is completely cowardly.
The best defense is offense.
If you just defend blindly, you will still be defeated sooner or later.
These people were all the commanders who were good at fighting among Poseidon believers on the west coast plain.
They didn't understand why Raymond, as the commander-in-chief, would issue such an order.
It's simply unbelievable.
Everyone showed a look of astonishment.
But at the same time!
But they didn't object.
Because Raymond was on the west coast plains of the Old World civilization.
He is the most talented general.
He led the legion of Poseidon City and defeated the legion of Storm Goddess more than once.
On this west coast plain.
Raymond had absolute dominance in military command.
And him!
He is also the fourth divine son.
Just waiting for Poseidon's next brief awakening.
He can be promoted to the Fourth Holy Son.
The remaining heroes of Poseidon City faced Raymond, the future Son of God.
I can only bow my head and obey.
They were not allowed to question Raymond's orders at all.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
After receiving the order, the soldier who sent the message quickly got up and left.
He wanted to bring the news back to the front lines.
And wait until the soldiers who sent the message leave.
Raymond turned to his subordinates behind him.
He said proactively.
"Are you confused about my order?"
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask them."
Most of these people are Raymond's subordinates.
Later, Raymond was promoted to the Fourth Holy Son.
These people will still be his confidants.
In this era when gods rise together.
Raymond needs them to fight for him.
therefore.
They should be trained in normal times.
Like now!
While the army is still on the march.
Raymond was still willing to spend time and guide them.
When the surrounding subordinates heard this.
They could no longer hold it in any longer, so they all opened their mouths to express their questions.
"Your Excellency."
"The enemy only has three thousand people."
"There are no reinforcements around yet."
"Occupying a key salient."
"Obviously, this is a vanguard army sent out to seize a favorable position."
"At this time, shouldn't we compete with each other for this favorable terrain?"
"Why retreat!"
"Yes, Lord Raymond."
"I'm also puzzled. The enemy advanced with little force. This is an opportunity for us to win our first victory."
"Our forward force is fifty thousand."
"And it's all Orange."
"There is such fighting power."
"We can completely surround them and then annihilate them!"
"Even if we don't fight a war of annihilation."
"You can also surround them."
"Besiege them but not attack them, then encircle them and bring reinforcements."
"Use this place to consume the opponent's vitality."
"Your Excellency Raymond, why did you just order not to attack before, but then changed the order to retreat to the Mondo Knights?"
"This is particularly puzzling to me. This is not about handing over the entire perimeter to the enemy."
"Without the peripheral territory, we have no way to launch an active attack and can only be passively attacked."
"And the enemy can gain huge space to maneuver."
"They can besiege us, or they can not besiege us, and send legions to penetrate behind us and attack Poseidon City."
"On the entire battlefield, we and Poseidon City will be passive."
After listening to this.
Raymond smiled lightly.
Then start answering them one by one.
"Before setting off, His Excellency the Third Holy Son told him not to underestimate Fang Yuan's strength."
"This three thousand infantrymen appeared here, and no supporting regiments were found around them."
"This itself is an extremely abnormal phenomenon."
"As for the rash advance with light troops, there are no reinforcements."
"Don't forget the opponent's air corps."
"We lack an air force, and the opponent's air force even dares to come close for reconnaissance."
"If we attack the opponent's three thousand vanguards, will the opponent's air corps provide support?"
"Think about it."
"The opponent's air force has an absolute advantage, and its intelligence is almost one-way transparent."
"They already know the location of our army."
"Knowing that we have more troops than the other party."
"Still dare to send three thousand infantry to occupy a hill."
"This shows that they are confident to withstand the siege of 50,000 troops."
"I even dare to conclude that once the forward force of 50,000 troops goes into attack."
"It will inevitably be delayed."
"The two sides fell into a fierce battle."
"Then our main force arrives, and we have to continue to invest troops."
"Start a war with the opponent on this battlefield."
"And this time!"
"We fell into each other's trap!"
As soon as Raymond finished speaking, the close subordinates around him took over the words excitedly.
"I know."
"This is the tactic that Fang Yuan is good at, surrounding the point and calling for reinforcements."
"We want to surround each other, but in the end we will be surrounded by each other."
"When the battlefield is one-way transparent."
"The other side can dispatch troops to attack any part of us without us noticing."
"Even sending air corps to attack."
"Once you fall into this trap."
"We will be completely defeated under the opponent's unscrupulous attack!!!"
Raymond showed appreciation for this subordinate's ability to quickly deduce this result.
"Not bad."
"That's why I decisively ordered the forward troops to retreat."
"Return to the Knight's Castle and defend it."
"As for the purpose, it's not complicated either."
"Our combat mission here is to contain the opponent."
"Consumption of the opponent's vitality."
"As long as we can hold Mondo Castle."
"Even if the other side gets the space to maneuver, they still don't dare to send a large army to attack Poseidon City."
"Because we can threaten the West Coast Passage here and also threaten their rear."
"Based on this war purpose."
"It is acceptable for us to lose the initiative on the battlefield and fall into a passive position."
Hear this.
The heroes present all understood.
"That's it!"
"Your Excellency Raymond is indeed the most outstanding commander on the West Coast!"
"I understand, Lord Raymond's wisdom is truly unrivaled."
And just as these people were praising Raymond one after another.
Sudden!
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves.
"Report~"
"Your Excellency Raymond."
"Frontline Battle Report."
"The enemy's two armies bypassed the forward army."
"Go straight to Mondo Castle."
"Just now!"
"Knight Mondo's castle has been breached."
"The 50,000 forward troops who were preparing to retreat were cut off from their retreat."
"Already surrounded by heavy siege."
The sudden news made everyone, including Raymond, fall into a state of sluggishness.
After a long time.
Only then did someone say.
"No, it's impossible~"
"There are one hundred thousand troops stationed at Mondo Castle."
"Fifty thousand, the other fifty thousand left the city."
"But there are 50,000 troops guarding the city, how could it be so easily breached?"
Just when everyone was questioning.
someone asked.
"What do we do now?"
"Are you going to the rescue?"
"Of course!"
"That's 50,000 Orange Legion forwards!"
"Even if there are 50,000 pigs, they won't be able to kill them all in a while."
"Now if we rush forward, we might have a chance to rescue them."
But as soon as these words came out, they were immediately denied by Raymond.
"No!"
"No help!"
Raymond's voice was decisive.
"Send the order!"
"The army retreats!"
"Enter the Earldom of Werner!"
And just after Raymond ordered the army to retreat.
The Griffin Knight Legion sent the information to the Mondo Knight Territory.
Christian listened.
Sighed slightly.
"What a cautious and decisive general."
"An army of 50,000 actually gave up right away."
"Then tell Cooper."
"No need to ambush."
"Retreat with the Demon Pattern Knights."
"Yes!"
"Tell Fiona and the Savage Warrior Legion again."
"No fish will enter the net."
"After eating these fifty thousand forwards."
"Come to Mondo Knight to meet up."
"Prepare the next step!"
"As you command!" (End of this chapter)
