Eastern mythology system

Chapter 162
Yalena stood on the hillside, staring blankly at the waves of people passing by below, without any expression on her face.

Below, the Aberdeen soldiers who had just retreated from the front line, under the command of the chief, followed each other in an orderly manner, and slowly returned to the army camp.

Although this battle failed to win the battle, Taranto's defense line was defeated.But the faces of the soldiers were just a little tired, and the phalanx was fairly neat, and their morale had not been greatly affected.

But so what, after all, he still failed to win.

Her Royal Highness exuded a slight chill all over her body, and her whole body was filled with the feeling of "stay away from strangers", and her thoughts were even colder.

In fact, it is a loss or a win, what difference does it make!

Unless all the Taranto rebels gathered here can be wiped out, or Ke Qishi, the leader of the rebels, can be eliminated.Otherwise, even if General John can break through many obstacles and successfully lead the army back to Aberdeen province, it will be meaningless to the royal family and the glorious empire.

When the army moved, countless money and food were spent.Even with the strong financial resources of the Grand Duke Edwards, this huge expenditure cannot be taken lightly.

In addition, this expedition is not just time-consuming, labor-intensive and food-consuming.The loss of personnel of various troops, the huge loss of various precious military supplies such as magic equipment, can make the Grand Duke Edwards heartache for a while.

Since then, the care of the casualties, the reorganization of the army, the arrangement of personnel for vacant positions in the army, the production and procurement of armament materials, and so on.It is impossible for the Grand Duke Edwards to deal with all these things without being overwhelmed and busy for a while.

It will be months or years before the Grand Duke arranges everything properly and launches another attack.By that time, the daylilies were already cold.

This time, the Taranto rebels did not make too many preparations in a hurry, and the sudden rebellion caused a great hidden danger of internal instability.Even so, they withstood the counter-insurgency campaign in Aberdeen.

If you give them enough time to stabilize the rear, then concentrate on the military.With Frankie's ability and skill, what will be pulled out will be a completely different powerful army from today.

What's even more frightening is that after this fruitless counter-insurgency war, which turned into a disgraceful counter-insurgency, those forces with other thoughts or hesitant attitudes saw the powerlessness and decline of the imperial family.A series of chain reactions triggered by this have consequences that Her Royal Highness the Princess can't even imagine.

How could the glorious empire, which was originally stable and peaceful, become perilous overnight, as if it might collapse at any time.

If, at the beginning...

Although everyone is persuading her and comforting her, saying that the war between the two countries has nothing to do with her, she is just an excuse for the Riga Empire to send troops.

Intellectually, she also thought that Anthony's analysis and explanation made sense, but she was still uneasy in her heart, always feeling that it was her own responsibility.Especially when things are not going well, some thoughts will jump out involuntarily, disturbing her thoughts and making her unable to be peaceful.

If I hadn't pursued freedom too much, cared too much about my own future and happiness, and had closed my eyes and agreed to the marriage proposal of the trash prince there, perhaps there would not have been this national war, and the embarrassing situation of the Glorious Empire would not have existed.

Even if this military disaster cannot be completely eliminated, at least temporarily blocked the mouth of the Riga Empire, so that they could not find an excuse to attack.And after I arrived in the Riga Empire, no matter what price I paid, I must try my best to postpone the outbreak of the war as much as possible, and then postpone it.

With the buffer of this period of time, the father can better complete various preparations.Develop the economy, manufacture equipment, recruit and train troops, and accumulate more chances for victory in future wars between the two countries.

As for what will happen to her in the future, Her Royal Highness has no time to think about it.As an imperial princess, she was doomed from the moment she was born. While enjoying the glory and status that ordinary people can hardly hope for, she will also have to bear more responsibilities than ordinary people.

Even if you sacrifice your entire life for it.

Athena already had such awareness.

Isn't it the same for princesses in history or other empires?The meaning of their marriage and even their own existence is to consolidate and enhance the power status of the royal family, so there is nothing to complain about.

On the contrary, it's my self-willedness in the past two years that made my father feel very headache and embarrassing!

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.Apart from secretly regretting in my heart, I can't do anything.

The two armies with tens of thousands of people below fought, and the sound of shouting and killing went straight to the sky, and the blood flowing from the soldiers stained the whole land red.But Princess Yalena just watched blankly, as if she was in another world, and what happened before her eyes had nothing to do with her.

Anthony saw her expression in his eyes, and couldn't help worrying in his heart.

No matter how others persuaded her, Yalena still stubbornly took all the responsibility on herself.The difficult situation in front of her undoubtedly made her feel more guilty.

For this matter, since the persuasion by mouth failed.The only way left is to solve the real problems.Even if the matter is caused by Her Royal Highness, as long as the final problems have been properly resolved, the troubles will naturally no longer be troubles.

Easier said than done.

Threats outside the borders aside, just talking about the battle against the rebellion in Taranto, the famous Riga general in the rebel army is difficult to deal with, but there are also many problems in the own army.

The difference in interests between the royal family and the province of Aberdeen, the difference in thinking between the high-level army and the princess, General John's personality and temper, the degree of identification of the bottom soldiers with the counter-insurgency war... and so on.

If there are too many ideas, the power will be dispersed.On the contrary, it is better for Taranto to put all his eggs in one basket and cut off other thoughts. The whole army can concentrate on the same, and can exert [-]% combat effectiveness.

From Anthony's point of view, the most difficult part of the problem is Aberdeen coach General John.

Franky should have spent a lot of time researching General John, getting a clear idea of ​​his personality, character, and character traits, and formulating a complete set of strategic plans based on this.

It can be said that this is a set of plans specially tailored for General John.If Frankie dared to play like this with someone else, he would definitely lose without even his underwear left.

But for the Aberdeen army under the command of General John, this plan is infinitely powerful.

Sharp and unsolvable!

After seeing through the other party's purpose, Anthony has been thinking hard for the past few days, but he has never been able to find a way to break out of the predicament.

Franky can plot against General John unscrupulously, whether to support or suppress, or to pull or fight, as long as he can achieve his desired goal, he can do whatever is effective and convenient.

But Anthony can't be as unscrupulous as he is.

If he wanted to influence General John's decision-making, he would "guide" the opponent to the path he wanted.In addition to being clever enough to make General John "fall into the trap" unconsciously, he also had to consider the aftermath and impact of the incident.As a result, Anthony is naturally bound and unable to use it.

In addition, Franky made preparations early, and Bu made up the game.Anthony has just experienced the battle, and he still puts his main energy and mind on observation and study.By the time he noticed Franky's conspiracy and analyzed that the key point of this battle was not on the battlefield, but on his own coach, the opportunity was lost and it was irreversible.

However, no matter how tough things were, Anthony had no reason to give up.

Even if the opponent's advantage cannot be shaken at the strategic level, it is difficult to fundamentally reverse the situation.But at the tactical level, he still has to try hard.

At the very least, Franky can't live too smoothly and comfortably.

……

"Colleagues, tomorrow we will act according to the plan we just set!"

"Facts have proved that the so-called famous general of Riga is only scary in name, and there is nothing terrible in essence. We are fully capable of pulling him off the altar and knocking him to the ground."

"As long as you don't be influenced by its name and give full play to our original strength, the so-called defense line in Taranto is just a pile of floating sand and rotten wood, and it is absolutely impossible to resist our sharp soldiers."

General John has arranged the battle plan for tomorrow and is making a final concluding speech.

Just a few words aroused the high morale and boundless fighting spirit of the generals.Facing the flood of compliments and praises, the general didn't show any complacency on his face.The momentum is calm, quite famous and handsome.

"The general is really powerful. We are still thinking hard. When we have no idea, the general has found the other side's life."

"One time is luck, and two times is definitely strength. General, don't be too humble!"

"Then Frankie is really capable, but it's a pity that the strong are even stronger. When he meets the general, he can only have no choice but to drink his hatred again and again."

"..."

The praise words of the generals can lift people up to the clouds, making people feel like they can't tell the difference between south, east and north.

General John waved his hand lightly, with a slight smile on his face, looking calm and breezy.

He was reserved on the surface, but he was not without complacency in his heart.

Over the past few days, they have fought against Franky in a series of battles. The two sides have fought wits and bravery, each with their own ingenuity, and each has won or lost.But in general, he has the upper hand.

In particular, the pursuit of victory in the Battle of Ironwood Town was his proudest work.It perfectly embodies his keen battlefield sense and decisive bravery.

He was very sure that it was definitely not the trick of the scheming Franky.Because if he had been lucky at that time, the counter-insurgency battle would have ended perfectly there.

If this is a "trick", he doesn't mind hitting it a few more times.

From the many confrontations with Frankie, General John, in addition to gaining victory, confidence, and the admiration and admiration of his generals, has another extremely important discovery.

This discovery is what he cares most about and is most proud of.

At the same time, it is also the origin and source of the battle plan that was laid out just now.

That is: he seems to have touched some of Frankie's military habits, and he has mastered the rules of formation that Franky may not have noticed.

If General John's guess comes true, then the so-called mainland famous general will become the fish on his chopping board, allowing him to cut and knead.And the next four checkpoints have become dazzling feats waiting for him to receive.

Let tomorrow's battle, come and help me do a verification!

General John was excited and looking forward to it.I can't wait.
