The Infinite Journey of the Sage

Chapter 152 Strategist Lelouch

But even if Cornelia has taken Calcutta, it doesn't matter. After all, their strategic goal has been achieved. The Bunitalia Empire has been delayed for two months. If they want to continue the attack, they will have to face Lelouch, who has been accumulating strength for two months.

It can even be said that the Chinese Federation is ready.

Time, time, time.

Schneizel had given them plenty of time. And all Lelouch has to do is continue to delay. Compared with the attacker who takes the initiative, Lelouch on the defensive side actually has more means to delay time.

This time Ranchi was captured unexpectedly. But if Cornelia thought she could attack New Delhi in one go, then she was overthinking.

Schneizel's strategy was almost seen very clearly by the two of them. In other words, they will encounter more resistance along the way than other paths.

Compared with dispersing and defending, if you mainly defend one area, then the defense power of this area will be terrifyingly strong.

But Cornelia is indeed Cornelia. This woman has already seen through Lelouch and Kelal's arrangement. She did not attack through the series of cities in the upper reaches of the Ganges. Instead, she chose the lower parts of the river. Area. They crossed most of the cities directly from the plains and advanced all the way to New Delhi. By the time Lelouch got the information and reacted, Cornelia, leading 5,000 knightmare knights, had already arrived in Allahabad.

Keilar is not on the front line, but even if he is on the front line, I'm afraid he can't change this outcome. After all, Cornelia has always been the woman who takes the lead and has a keen sense of smell. She was very keen to find Lelouch's flaw. Lelouch still thought that Schneizel's strategy was to advance along the river as before. But after the Battle of Calcutta, how could Schneizel possibly How about continuing like this? Finding another way became his only choice, otherwise, his military strength would be far from enough.

And after Cornelia captured Allahabad, she could directly return to attack the area behind Allahabad and cooperate with the defenders of the Galgoda area to attack from both sides. These people and the defenders of these sections of road Naturally, they were all defeated and even annihilated.

Cornelia turned the offensive into a battle of annihilation, which was something that had to be convinced.

But now half of India has been captured by the other side, and the only ones standing in their way are Banda, Kia, Jhansi, and Agra.

What's more, Cornelia's military methods are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Both Moradabad and Jaipur were likely to be attacked by Cornelia.

Now that the initiative on the entire battlefield has completely returned to the hands of the Bunitalia Imperial Army, this time Lelouch needs to think about how to deal with Cornelia's surprise attack.

Lelouch is no longer the Lelouch of before. If it were the Lelouch of before, he might be stubbornly resisting elsewhere. He might be here. Ganghe or other places used some small methods, but now he deeply understands that those are just some small methods. The real battlefield still requires soldiers, equipment and discipline.

He used to have an arrogance towards war, that is, he felt that war could be compensated by other means, such as lifting the floor, lifting the floor, lifting the floor, etc.

Those soldiers are just his chess pieces and his bait. After luring the enemy into the cage, he only needs to lift the floor and the enemy will be completely destroyed. It is normal to even lose a few baits. acceptable.

Now he finally understands. Those are just small tactical means. If he is obsessed with tactics, he will never be able to become a strategist in this life.

What can a strategist do? First of all, you should consider the strength of both sides, then the strength of the weapons and equipment of both sides, and finally, it depends on what you can achieve, and you cannot make unrealistic assumptions.

For example, Schneizel was delayed for two full months precisely because he used assumptions and thought he could capture Calcutta very quickly.

And Lelouch was finally being trained by Kelal again and again. Slowly learned to become a strategist.

Of course, there are two types of strategists, one is a purely military strategist, and the other is a strategist who can truly rule a country or an empire. The strategist who oversees the overall situation.

Now Schneizel and Lelouch each prefer their own professional direction, being an economic strategist and a war strategist. But both men have the potential to become strategists who oversee global strategy.

These two people are like sponges, constantly absorbing their mistakes. Then keep correcting your mistakes and making yourself more perfect.

And Cornelia is exactly that kind of talented player. Her keen sense of smell can often make mistakes and fundamentally decipher the intelligence of both parties.

For example, she didn't get involved in this war because she thought Schneizel wouldn't believe her. And it was because she did not get involved in this war that Schneizel suffered a bloody blow and had to owe her a favor and ask her guards to come over and help.

She also felt that a quick victory was the best way to destroy Keilal's plan, so she directly used her sense of smell to destroy Keilal's plan and quickly deal with Galgoda. Then he unexpectedly gained the military morale of these 120,000 people.

She was like a proud child of heaven. I am constantly favored by God.

However, whether it is Kelar, Lelouch, or Schneizel, they are all wise men. They do not believe that this kind of luck can appear to one person or someone one after another, so they only believe in their own luck. layout and own resourcefulness. Only after they have finished all their affairs will they pray for God's favor. Even people like Kelal don't know how to pray at all. He will only do it more meticulously and be more prepared.

Lelouch's next step was very straightforward. He now has a clearer understanding of Kelal's strategic goals, so he does not need to take any responsibility for these Indians. He simply shrunk all his troops to the vicinity of New Delhi. In the past two months, the vicinity of New Delhi has become more riddled with holes than the periphery of Kolkata.

This place seemed to have been dug into a huge cemetery, and the entire Britannian army was to be buried here.
