"How's it going? After meeting your old subordinates, are you in a particularly good mood?" Lafite was already waiting for Diao Si and asked him when he saw him.
Diao Si smiled after hearing this and responded: "No, my old subordinates have already arrived in the north. They are waiting to attack the Glorious Empire for Her Royal Highness."
After hearing Diao Si's confused words, Lafite frowned and asked, "What does this mean? Why did your old subordinates get to the north? Didn't they give you face?"
"No, I want to tell Her Royal Highness that the people in Ruifeng City are not the people you imagined. Can you understand? The news sent to the Imperial City is already false. They did not keep Ruifeng City."
When Diao Si said this, Lafite finally figured it out and asked, "Are you really sure this is the case? Could it be that you made a mistake?"
"No, how could I be wrong? Seventh Princess, don't you also think it's problematic for Ruifeng City to open its gates like this? How could the invading army give up a city to us like this?" After Diao Si said this, La Fei fell silent for a moment.
She still knows a little bit about strategy. She experienced Diao Si's heavy siege when she attacked Ruifeng City last time. If there are heavy troops ambushed in Ruifeng City this time, it will be too dangerous for her to enter like this.
But not attacking the city? Her food supply could not last more than a few days, and with the arrival of the troops transferred from the Empire of Light, the enemy would be stronger and she would be even more hopeless.
"Then do you have any way to deal with it?" Lafite asked Diao Si in a low voice, because she seemed to be unable to think of any effective strategy for the time being.
After hearing this, Diao Si responded calmly: "Your Highness, actually we don't have to worry at all. They have been lying in wait for so long, and the scouts didn't dare to send out scouts to take a look. They still don't know much about us. They should be the ones who are anxious." That’s right.”
"But we also have to do something, right? Please tell me your thoughts quickly and let me think about it first." Lafite asked this, and Diao Si hesitated. He did already have an idea of how to deal with it. But is it easy for Lafite to accept it like this
"Well, let's play a game and pretend that I am still the commander-in-chief of Ruifeng City. Princess, how are you going to fight this battle?" Diao Si thought for a moment and then asked Lafite.
After hearing this, Lafite hesitated for a moment and then asked: "The game you are talking about refers to simulated war? Is this useful?"
"Yes, Seventh Princess, you are so smart. Let's simulate it so that you, Princess, may know how to fight this battle." Diao Si replied with a smile.
"Okay, so now you have set up an ambush, waiting for me to attack. If I don't attack, what will happen to you?" Lafite already understood the purpose of Diao Si's game, so he asked immediately.
"No, I can stay in the city and wait for my reinforcements. If you don't attack, the food will continue to be consumed. The result will be a loss. You must think of other ways." Diao Si pointed out the consequences of this. explain.
"Then I will launch a massive attack and attack the city. Can my fifty thousand soldiers capture your city by force?"
"No, I have already set up an ambush. There are not only many archers inside, but also various traps. I guarantee that you will be covered with bruises after entering. Even if you can finally capture the city, your military strength will be reduced by one." Most of them, the rest can't stop the troops transferred from the Empire of Light."
"Then what can I do?" Hearing this, Lafite became unhappy and said, "You have the final say anyway. What's the point? I won't play anymore."
Seeing this opportunity, Diao Si said to her: "Let's do it this way. Let me lead the 50,000 soldiers, and let me lead the 50,000 soldiers. How about you go to Ruifeng City to ambush me?"
"Okay, let me see how you attack?" After hearing Diao Si's arrangement, Lafite got a little more energetic. She was very involved just now and felt that she had suffered a lot. Now she really wants to use this game to torture Diao Si. Thinking.
"Do it. If you don't attack the city, you will die. If you attack the city, you will die. What should I do?" Lafite saw that Diao Si didn't have any ideas yet, so he urged him.
Diao Si smiled, and then replied: "If I lead this army, I will not attack the city immediately. I will stay here for a night first, and then secretly deploy some traps at night..."
"You don't attack the city? Then how long can you sustain it? It's useless to set up traps outside the city. I won't go out in the city. Are you using traps to harm yourself?" Lafite also laughed. When she got up, she felt that Diao Si's method was simply useless.
"Then you can continue to hide in the city. It's not like I won't attack. I can always support you the next day, right?" Diao Si replied calmly, and Lafite slowly put away his smile.
"The next morning, after everything was deployed, I led one of the troops to the front of Ruifeng City, then installed a throwing machine and fired cannons into the city. How are you going to respond, Princess?"
After hearing Diao Si's move, Lafite hesitated for a moment and then asked: "You just use the throwing machine to attack? Fire artillery into the city? The other troops stand still?"
"No, my large force has been arranged on the other side of the river. The ones who came to fire were only an elite force protecting the throwing machine..."
"Then you're not afraid that I will send troops to attack your throwing machine right away?"
"No, you don't know the strength of my troops at all, so you don't dare to leave the city casually. And I have already been prepared. Once you send out scouts or troops, I will retreat. If you don't chase me, I will continue to fire until I Your Ruifeng City is exhausted."
"You... well, I saw through your trick after reconnaissance, and then sent troops to attack you. Where will you flee? But you bring that heavy throwing machine, we will catch up with you soon."
"No, I will use two special vehicles for throwing machines to hold the parts of one throwing machine, and use all my hands to pull it. The speed will not be too slow..."
"You have an elite force that spends so much manpower to tow the machine, so how can you protect the throwing machine? Isn't this a contradiction?"
"Well, you still noticed that in my elite force, apart from those who drag machines, there are silver warriors, purple warriors, and the most powerful golden warrior. I think their protection is enough."
"But how can some light soldiers not be able to catch up when they are chasing a team like you dragging heavy objects? You can't take advantage of this."
"Yes, it's impossible not to catch up. My goal is just to cross the river, and I have ambushes on the road, which will make your troops afraid..."
"So what if I chase you across the river?... With the 50,000 troops in ambush, Ruifeng City's troops can completely withdraw into the city. You won't be able to consume much of their troops. On the contrary, your food will not be able to support much." God, just as you said, the Light Empire’s backup troops are coming.”
"No, you don't know that my plan for this night will definitely shock you and cause you to suffer a lot of losses. Then I will continue to use throwing machines to attack the city. I will not launch a large-scale attack until you are completely unable to fight back."
"Are you really so confident? Okay, I won't play this game anymore. Tell me your plan now." Lafite said this, and Diao Si started to tell her his plan.
It's obvious that Lafite has been attracted to Diao Si since she started playing this game. Now she has completely accepted Diao Si's playing style and wants to act according to his arrangements.
Because Ruifeng City never sent out scouts in order to avoid being suspected, Lafite's troops built a simple camp behind the bridge, but under the cover of the camp, they began to implement their deployment.
Another worry is that Diao Si doesn't know anything about Ruifeng City's current military strength. They must have deployed the ambush a long time ago, so what Lafite's first batch of bird scouts saw had been covered up. look like.
In any case, since war is going to begin, knowing yourself and the enemy is a prerequisite. If you don't even know the enemy's strength, it will be too late if you don't find out until the fight begins.
But what else to do now? The situation in Ruifeng City must be very hidden. We must find a way to expose their flaws in order to guess their true and false status. (To be continued)
