Chapter 160 Shocked
"What?! This, how is this possible!?"

The Grand Duke of Keqishi suddenly got up, his face was full of shock and disbelief, and his round eyes were fixed on Franky who was sitting opposite him.

He turned a blind eye to the tables and chairs knocked over by him, and the important documents scattered all over the floor, without even looking at them.

Compared to what Frankie said just now, these are nothing.

It's outrageous, it's ridiculous!

Could it be that Frankie walked in a hurry when retreating, accidentally hit his head, and his sanity is a bit unclear, otherwise, how could he have such a whimsical idea.

Even though the opponent was one of the most famous generals in the mainland, even though the Duke of Keqishi had witnessed the opponent's leadership ability, but at that moment just now, he almost couldn't hold back and called the soldiers to drive the Riga man out of the camp.

Leaving the lair, leaving the base camp Austerlitz, taking all the belongings and capable fighters, and ran to remote towns and even barren mountains.It took manpower and material resources to build fortifications and deploy defense lines, and even desperately intercepted the retreating Aberdeen army.Duke Keqishi has always disagreed with this and did not understand it.

If they want to leave, let them go. Are you still staying to treat me to dinner?

Before changing it, His Excellency the Duke was even willing to pay half of his net worth in exchange for the retreat of the Aberdeen counter-insurgency army.Now they took the initiative to retreat, but they themselves wanted to catch up with them and leave them behind.What is this trouble?
Grand Duke Keqis was not very clear about the entire strategic goal, and Franky did not explain it to him in detail.

In his mind, he rebelled with his own troops, and the empire sent troops to quell the rebellion.The primary goal, of course, is to resist the full-scale encirclement and suppression of the empire and preserve itself.Only after this is a firm foothold and a solid foundation.Any longer-term ideas are not issues that should be considered at this stage.

With the current relationship between the Riga Empire and Taranto Province, Keqishi and Franky are like grasshoppers on a rope, and neither can run away from the other.Everyone has the same interests and goals, and he is not worried that General Riga will intentionally harm his army.

In addition, there are really no good generals in our own army who can be used, and there are not many generals who can even be called qualified.The Duke had no choice but to hand over the command to Franky, and asked everyone to obey the command of the Riga people unconditionally.

In order to show his determination and unconditional trust, Duke Keqishi usually seldom asks about the military command.Because of this, this was the first time I heard General Franky mention strategic goals today.

But listen to what he had to say?
Swallow the entire Aberdeen army in one gulp!

Duke Keqishi was sure that he heard right.

Not to hold back, not to push back, not even to defeat Aberdeen's counter-insurgency army.What this Riga man wants is to crush and chew the enemy army and swallow it in his stomach!

Oh my God!Their army has more people than us, stronger combat power, and better equipment than us. It would be great if they can guarantee that they will not be trampled to death by others. Want to play a game of snake swallowing?

Do we have such a good appetite?Don't break your teeth by then.

You must know that we have just experienced a defeat. If it weren't for the timely response from Yinqiu Valley, our old life might have been confessed.And this time I came here by myself to ask Franky what was going on.

But following Franky's narration, the entire strategic plan was slowly unfolding before the eyes of Duke Keqis.The context is clear, the order is clear, how to implement each step and each detail, and what effect can be achieved, are clearly listed.

Slowly, the ghost-like expression on Duke Keqishi's face disappeared.From extremely skeptical to half-believing, and then from half-believing to convinced and uplifting.

This is a strategic goal like the Arabian Nights, and it doesn't seem so out of reach now.Under Franky's analysis and explanation, Duke Keqishi saw the possibility of success.

And it's very possible!
After understanding the whole plan, and looking back at some of Frankie's previous actions and arrangements, everything seemed reasonable.

More importantly, under these actions, the development of the situation is indeed slowly approaching their final goal.

"To achieve the strategic goal, the full cooperation of the Duke and all Taranto soldiers is needed. Because the matter is of great importance, in order to prevent the leakage of secrets, we cannot disclose all this to all the generals. In order to dispel everyone's doubts, and at the same time ensure that everyone To be able to act 100% according to the plan, I can only ask the Duke to coordinate and communicate."

"Okay! This is a big matter, as it should be. This matter is on the Duke's shoulders."

Duke Keqishi patted his chest with a smile on his face, and said broadly.

"Then I will trouble the Duke." Frankie stood up and bowed slightly.

"No trouble, no trouble!"

If the threat of the Aberdeen army can be wiped out with one hand as Franky imagined, what is this little trouble?
At that time, not only will their own crisis be resolved, but they will also be able to take advantage of the momentum and attack the Aberdeen province.Thinking about it, the strength of Duke Edwards' troops has already reached ten to eighty-nine, and it is absolutely impossible to resist his own soldiers.If the development of the situation is smoother, even other neighboring provinces may not be unable to use their brains.

Sitting on such a strong capital, in the future, after the Riga Empire breaks through and annexes the entire glorious empire, can its status and authority be lowered?

Even General Dino, who is outside Chen Bing's Huaishui Pass at this moment, is still ranked below him in terms of merit.

Duke Keqishi thought happily, while humming a ditty, he turned around and left the tent, striding away quickly.

As for the plan when you come...

Eh~ What was the duke planning to do before?Why can't I remember it all of a sudden.

Forget it, whatever it is, the world is big, and now it's not as big as this matter.

Seeing the Duke of Cokis walking away, Franky breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed his temple with one hand, and sat down slowly.

As he had said to Duke Cokis before, he didn't like the shenanigans of politicians.However, that doesn't mean he won't play tricks.

The battlefield and the political arena, there are some places that are interlinked.

In other words, as long as the opponent is a human being, planning and calculation are similar in any field.

Why did Duke Kekis come here?Frankie knew it all.He had known since Mount Mora's defeat that the Duke of Keqishi would definitely come and question him.

One is this unexpected defeat, the loss of which has already made the Grand Duke feel pain.The second is the necessity of this series of battles.

Fortunately, the progress of the situation is generally smooth, and it is also a good time to confess to him at this moment.If he had dared to tell the whole plan earlier, he might have been treated as a hysterical patient by the Grand Duke.Don't say that the subsequent plan cannot be carried out, and even this handsome position may not be able to keep.

As for the big defeat at the Mount Mora level, Franky was also angry and helpless.

He set up these checkpoints, and he did not have the extravagant hope of blocking the superior Aberdeen army.Therefore, retreat is a very important part of his plan.

How to retreat in a planned way, how to minimize casualties during the retreat, how to prevent the retreat from turning into a rout, and so on.He spent a lot of energy on this and made a lot of arrangements to deal with different emergencies.

And the effect is also obvious.

For example, in the first battle, a light cavalry in Aberdeen relied on their speed and wanted to take advantage of the victory.As a result, not only did he fail to gain any gains, but he fell into a trap carefully prepared by him, at least hundreds of riders were lost.

Also after that, Aberdeen's pursuit became much more cautious.It also made the retreat of Taranto soldiers easier and calmer.

However, man is not as good as God.

During the retreat in Ironwood Town, Taranto was in charge of a group of simple swordsmen who were in charge of the rear, and something went wrong.

Originally, this was not a big problem. Franky had already made arrangements to deal with these minor situations.Besides, with General John's ability, he may not be able to grasp this fleeting flaw.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, General John seemed to be possessed by a god. Not only did he keenly discover this rare opportunity, he mobilized the main force to pursue it.He even played at a super level, hitting a series of beautiful combination punches.

What's worse, just as agreed, the heavy cavalry arranged by Franky to be the backup and support, actually dropped the chain at this critical moment.

Therefore, under the mutual "cooperation" between the enemy and the enemy, everything happened so naturally.

What else could Franky say but a long sigh in return?What else can I do?
He has done everything a coach can do, but his subordinates are not strong enough, what can he do?
If the elite troops of the Riga Empire were replaced...

Ugh!
……

In the big tent of the Chinese army, General John sat at the top with a big horse and a golden knife.On his left and right sides, the middle and senior ranks of the Aberdeen Army are lined up in order of position.

The plan to take advantage of the trend to capture the defense line of Yinqiu Valley failed. In view of the fact that the troops are exhausted and the attack is weak, forcing the war will only increase more unnecessary casualties.In desperation, General John had no choice but to order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, retreat to a flat place, and set up camp.

Two days have passed now.

After two days of rest, the mental outlook of the soldiers has greatly improved.She was no longer as dull and unresponsive as before, as if she could fall asleep at any time while walking on the road.

According to General John's observations during his tour of the camp, the morale of the army was fair.After all, Aberdeen came all the way as the winner. Although they were suppressed in front of the Silver Hill Valley defense line, they failed to deal a big blow to their confidence.

I was too tired, and the softies of Taranto were huddled in their tortoise shells and refused to stick their heads out, so we can't bear them.

Now I have eaten enough, slept enough, and raised my spirits.Go to the battlefield and see if your tortoise shell can protect you?
Don't blame me for not notifying you in advance, I have removed four similar tortoise shells along the way, and I have a lot of experience.

Morale Available!

General John didn't want to delay any longer, so he immediately summoned the top ranks of the army to discuss the arrangements for tomorrow's battle.

Military meetings in Aberdeen are now far more intense and of a higher quality than they were before.

The gap in military power between the Glorious Empire and the Riga Empire is not only reflected in the quality of the soldiers, but also in the commanding skills of the middle and high-level generals.

The Riga Empire has six famous generals who are well-known in the mainland, and there are countless other outstanding mid-to-high-level generals.

On the other hand, in the Brilliant Empire, except for the Grand Duke Mattesias, there is no other general who can do it.

The generals of the Brilliant Empire are no more stupid than others. The most important reason for this result is that they do not have much actual combat experience.

Matthias was like a towering mountain, blocking the westward advance of the Riga people, but also depriving most of the troops of the Glorious Empire of the chance to accept the baptism of actual combat.

Now, after going through a series of battles, the officers in Aberdeen have grown up rapidly, their vision and thinking have greatly improved, and they have been able to provide more useful suggestions to General John.

—Of course, the same goes for the rebels.

Tang Feng sat a little further back, a little far away from the superior General John.

He lowered his head slightly, expressionless, without saying a word.It seemed a bit out of tune with the rather warm atmosphere at the military meeting.

He lost his mind.

If the boss's guess is true, then today's military meeting is meaningless.No matter what the outcome of the final negotiation is, they are just following the opponent's plan and slowly sliding into the bottomless abyss of darkness.

Franky really has such great courage, intending to defeat the strong with the weak and wipe out the entire Aberdeen counter-insurgency army?

Reason told him that this was impossible and the difficulty was too great.

However, the other party's series of arrangements vaguely coincided with this guess.Apart from this, Tang Feng couldn't think of any other possibility to explain the opponent's unreasonable behavior.

"Mr. Tang Fengqian, the combat mission you are undertaking is quite important. You must pay attention to it carefully and never ignore it."

In a daze, Tang Feng heard his name.When I looked up, I met General John's gaze, which contained a hint of dissatisfaction.

Tang Feng quickly sat up straight, and replied solemnly: "Yes!"

General John's eyes stayed on his face for a moment, then he looked around and encouraged him with a passionate tone.

"Although Franky is well-known, our generals in Aberdeen are not easy to deal with. The eight levels mentioned earlier are like a dragon's lake and a tiger's den, but we have broken half of them in the blink of an eye. This fifth level , and even the rear lines of defense will not be any different from the front ones. Ladies and gentlemen, let us work harder to bring down the famous mainland general. Use his illustrious reputation as a stepping stone to achieve everyone's supreme feats !"

General John suddenly raised his volume, and asked loudly:

"Are you confident?"

"Have!"

All the generals clenched their fists, raised their arms and shouted, their fighting spirit burning like a raging fire.

Except Tang Feng.
