Realm of Power

After the first confrontation, the Slavs have realized that the opponent in front of them is a madman! After a night of toil in the Slavic camp full of wilderness, they collectively retreated 10 miles. In the morning, Fatty could see the empty wilderness, and some Slavic soldiers who stayed in place were busy with something. Half a day later, Some wood felled from the forest more than ten miles away was transported in a car. Soon, the fat man saw what it was.

Watchtower!

Looking at the simple buildings erected outside the city wall, the fat man felt a little excited. These wooden watchtowers were four to five meters high. Each watchtower was spaced a hundred meters apart. Two to three soldiers could be stationed on them. Slavic People are watching here A low earth wall was built between the towers. It was a work that was better than nothing. The earth wall was only less than one meter. It could be easily climbed over without any help. However, there were several such earth walls, proving that the other party The main target is the cavalry

It seems that the Slavs are indeed a little scared. They built watchtowers for surveillance and alarm, and built earthen walls to slow down cavalry attacks. This proves that the Slavs will at least not launch a large-scale offensive against the city walls in the short term. Otherwise, these earthen walls will The wall will cause trouble for themselves, "The plan is already half done!"

The fat man's eyes flashed, he held his hands on the cold battlements, and looked into the distance. The debate he had with Julius Fort ten days ago resounded in his mind, about how to reduce his own casualties in the battle with the Slavs, and how to try his best to reduce his own casualties. Possibly allowing the Slavs to maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness. This almost contradictory issue has always been at the core of Fatty's consideration. Millions of Slavs are heading south amid hunger and cold. This pressure is understandable for the northwest, which bears the brunt. ,

That's one million people itching www. The fight was so fierce that all the millions of Slavs were scared away and the fat man probably also wanted to go back. Crying,

Since he couldn't hit him too hard, the only way was to scare him. When the fat man rushed to Julius Fort, who was still recovering from his injuries, and proposed this bold and almost absurd plan, he knew the Slavs' nature well. Julius Forbaugh shook his head on the spot and shook his head. This is absolutely impossible!

"I have fought with the Slavs for more than ten years. I know them well. Although they have poor equipment, poor combat skills, and no guidance in military theory, it does not mean that they are fools. On the contrary, their bravery is very famous. Slavs People are from the northern race and there is never a shortage of warriors, even in the face of war. Intimidation is ineffective against ten times the number of enemies, and the arrogant Slavs dare to launch a frontal charge. What's more, this time there are millions of Slavs, among whom there are countless brave ones, and they can scare millions of people. ? What a joke!: "In fact, it should be better interpreted as deterrence!" "The fat man was unmoved. His eyes were focused, and he touched his chin opposite Julius Fort. His eyes revealed great confidence. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I am sure that I will win the battle at the beginning of the battle. day, it made the Slavs feel that there was no hope of continuing to fight.”

"How is this possible?" Julius Forbaugh looked in disbelief.

The fat man said with certainty, "This is not difficult. We only need to give the Slavs on the opposite side the illusion that this mysterious long wall is indestructible. Every step they take towards the long wall will be a disastrous disaster." , We just want to tell the Slavs that if they really want to launch an attack on the long wall, it is impossible for them to cross it without leaving hundreds of thousands of corpses, so let's find another way!"

"You want to take the initiative, right?" Julius Fort's eyes flashed. After all, he was also a general on the Megatron side who had been fighting for many years. He quickly guessed the fat man's inner plan.

He shook his head and said sternly again, "I don't suggest you do that. It's too risky. Our army is limited after all. Your army plus my retreating Fifth Army have a total strength of about 150,000. If The all-out defense should be able to last until the cold winter comes. When the Slavs find themselves desperate, they will naturally go back and venture through the barrier mountains leading to the hinterland of the empire. After waiting for two months, I believe everything will get better! "

"Haha, we can wait for two months, but your emperor can't!"

The fat man curled his lips slightly, "The news of the Slavs' large-scale march south will surely reach the ears of your emperor soon. At that time, he will only need to easily issue an order asking you to take the initiative to fight and defend the enemy and outside the country." It’s enough to destroy the defense line you and I have built together!”

"this……"

Julius Forbaugh's expression changed,

Yes, although the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, if the emperor really issued such an order, it would take at most a month to arrive here from Kyoto. Will he comply with it or not? If you comply and take the initiative to attack the millions of Slavs with a weak force, isn't this just asking for death? If you don't comply, Kyoto can easily uproot the Julius family by using the excuse of disobeying His Majesty the Emperor's orders! ""That's it! If you are worried, I will be responsible for it! "The fat man stood up from opposite Julius Fort and walked out of the door of the room. Since the return of the Fifth Army, Julius Fort's temper began to become a little hesitant, and he was no longer as decisive as before, or Anyone who faces a choice of destiny will face such a swing!

After learning about the situation on the first day of the battle, Julius Fort was shocked again. No one had ever thought that the war could be fought like this. The essence of deterrence is not to scare, but to shock! Judging from the current situation, the deterrence tactics used in the first battle were very successful. In the dense layout and the central cavalry under the leadership of Hu Keqili performed exceptionally,

The powerful defensive power erupted from the long wall completely stunned the Slavs. Only if it could dissuade the Slavs from continuing to march northwest, millions of Slavs would make a desperate move and choose to cross the long and narrow corridor to the east and enter Gaul. the heart of the empire,

That area was not a wilderness, but the high-cold mountains, glaciers, snow ridges, and underground rivers that served as a barrier to the empire. It was simply a death zone. The exhausted Slavs did not think about it because they knew very well. , once you enter this fast and narrow barrier mountainous area, the temperature will become extremely cold.

There was no food and no clothing to keep out the cold. If the long wall cut off their support in one fell swoop, and the front was blocked by the Gallic Empire army, no matter how many people there were, they would only be trapped on the mountain. The Slavs were not fools either. I'm not hungry enough to plunge into the dangerous situation of asking you to put yourself in an urn.

This stalemate lasted until the fourteenth day. Snowflakes finally began to fall from the sky. Winter was coming and the temperature dropped sharply.

According to the reconnaissance report from outside the wall, a large number of dead people appeared in the Slavic camp. It is not known whether it was the plague or freezing. The weather was so cold that ice crystals of more than ten centimeters were formed on the battlements, rows of them. Hanging on it, it’s as crystal clear as an inverted cone,” it’s time for a showdown It's time to send someone to have proper contact with the Slavs! "The fat man turned back from the brazier and said to Salon and Duoze behind him, "Tell them that we are not interested in them, but we don't want to be eaten by them either. Lost, so find another way, there is no way here! "(To be continued...)
