Chapter 1781 1782 Pretending to be Blind

True tactical masters all know that if there is no loophole, there are loopholes everywhere. Unless you have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, dispersing your own strength is actually a serious problem in itself.

The so-called military advantage here is not simply defined in terms of quantity. It represents absolute combat power advantage and the power to defeat the opponent.

Flix divided his troops into three parts, which in itself was a huge waste of his so-called "troops", and naturally it was impossible for him to gain a troop advantage over the Tang army.

However, in terms of its robustness, his plan at least satisfied several countries: as long as there were no problems with the defense line, it would be natural to organize a local counterattack.

We can't just be on the defensive all the time, right? The Tang Empire can wait, but these countries that are passively being beaten can't.

Judging from the age of the emperor, the Tang Dynasty was the one with more advantages: the emperor of the Tang Empire was less than 40 years old, in the prime of his life... while the emperors of other countries were not young anymore.

Even though Lions II, who inherited the throne, was actually a few years older than Tang Mo, anyone with a discerning eye could see that his level was almost the worst among the emperors of the coalition.

As long as the current emperors die of old age, their successors will most likely be worse. By then, the Tang Dynasty will have an even greater advantage.

These were the private thoughts of several emperors. In fact, even their own ministers did not quite agree with this judgment: Are you kidding me? You can't even defeat the Tang Empire. Why would the Tang Empire wait for time to kill several countries' current emperors?

Felix's return to the front line did help stabilize the morale of the troops. The commanders of several armies were more or less relieved when they heard from him that the capital, Joslena, was temporarily safe.

Their families are still there. If something unexpected really happens, they will certainly be affected.

Several human coalition generals also met with Felix, and a group of generals had a simple lunch together. During the meal, Felix learned about the counterattack of the Tang army in the Hot Wind Port area after he left.

"Marshal, the Tang army did occupy several of our defensive positions, but there was no large-scale advancement. It seems... they may have launched this round of offensive actions just to attract our army's attention." A general from Susas expressed his opinion.

"We must not be careless! We haven't figured out the Tang army's intentions yet, so we can only make inferences. But I think the Tang army's offensive capabilities are definitely more than that, so I also think they are attracting our attention." The general from the Lions Empire also said.

Everyone has learned to be cautious now, or in fact, they have been scared by the Tang army. In order to avoid major problems, everyone is relatively conservative.

Felix nodded, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, looked at the leftovers on the table and said, "I roughly understand. The Tang army has only launched limited attacks recently, which really seems to attract our attention. This is probably to cooperate with the actions of the Tang army in the southern dwarf region, so that we dare not go north easily."

"But they obviously miscalculated." He put down his handkerchief and continued, "We have no plan to counterattack in other places, so our attention has always been on the direction of Hot Wind Port!"

"Now that the troops are in place and supplies are flowing smoothly, we can start our plan. According to the agreement, one army from Susas, one army from Yangmu Empire, and one army from Lions Empire will be divided into three groups to launch a counterattack in mid-March!" He made up his mind and launched the first phase of the action plan. Since the Tang army did not seem to be in a hurry to go south in March, they would fight the battle of Hot Wind Port first! If the border defense line can be recaptured, then the coalition forces can at least be more stable in their situation.

"I think so! Lions' troops are ready for battle and can launch a counterattack at any time." The general of the Lions Empire nodded.

The general of Susas also made up his mind and echoed, "The troops of the Susas Empire will follow the plan and advance to the agreed position as much as possible...at all costs."

Felix crossed his arms, resting his elbows on the table, and said firmly: "The elves will also send troops. The three armies will march together to retake Hot Wind Port!"

What he wanted was not the final madness of the dwarves, nor the false victory of Sheko in Darkas.

What Flix wanted was to truly recapture Hot Wind Port, an important city occupied by the Tang army. On the one hand, it could stabilize the army's morale and stop the decline, and on the other hand, Hot Wind Port was indeed a strategic location worthy of his attempt.

After all, Hot Wind Port is the Tang army-controlled city closest to the coalition front line. If they cannot recapture it, then recapture other places will be out of the question.

……

"Reconnaissance satellites have confirmed... the coalition forces have assembled a large number of troops in the south, east, and northeast of Hot Wind Port... the other side is likely to launch a large-scale attack in mid-March." In the intelligence department's office far away in the Yongdong Port headquarters, the staff officers had already spread out the photos on the table.

These nearly vertical photos show various military facilities, train stations and troop assembly areas. Many of the photos are even in color, and you can clearly see the tents, airports full of planes, and long trains moving.

"We have monitored their communications and have confirmed the numbers of several troops. To the northeast is an army group of Lions, to the south is an army group of Susas, and to the east is the troops of the Yangmu Empire." An officer from another department smiled and placed the report on the edge of the map.

"Here comes with bad intentions!" Pinching his chin, the staff officer presiding over the meeting laughed: in his opinion, this was the coalition forces coming to give military merit to the front-line troops again.

The 1st Army of the Tang Empire is backing up against Hot Wind Port. He seriously doubts whether the three opposing armies will be enough to satisfy General Hogg's hunger.

How formidable is the 1st Army with smooth supply and sufficient air cover? He couldn't imagine it, but the other side would know the answer soon.

"Distribute the enemy's troop composition, attack direction, numbers and other things to the relevant departments...If we carry out targeted bombing first, do you think it will scare the enemy so much that they won't dare to come out?" After laughing enough, he asked a more serious question.

"I think... as usual, let's just pretend to be blind first..." Several of his staff officers said unwillingly.
