The Rose Empire's intentions are clear.
Make a choice: go back to rescue or continue attacking the city
If we continue to attack the city, the rear will be thrown into chaos by my surprise attack force.
If we go back to deal with this elite force, the rhythm of the attack will be slowed down, and a lot of time will be wasted in this unique offensive period.
Now the best solution that Luhuajun and other generals can think of is to find out who is causing trouble in the rear and send out elite troops of equal strength to fight against them.
But the question is how many elite troops should be sent
The soldiers sent by the Luhua Army to defend the city were generally of low quality and in small numbers.
Because in previous winters, humans would be defeated by them, and it was impossible for them to launch an attack in the severe winter.
Judging from the existing intelligence, the Rose Empire did not have this kind of troops that could move freely in winter before, but if we judge from this, thinking that their number is small and the number of people sent out is insufficient, they will only become their bait.
The Luhua Army thought it had seized some of the initiative in the war, but was tricked by the Rose Empire again.
This incident happened suddenly, and the sudden appearance of this mysterious force may put the Western Fifth Army's plan to attack Dongwang City on hold.
Therefore, Luhua Army and other generals of the Western Fifth Army had to discuss countermeasures and formulate new strategies again.
In the army, Yang Yu was completely unaware of such a thing. He just distributed the spoils obtained from the war to the soldiers in a relaxed mood, trying to use money to rally people's hearts. At the same time, as usual, he instilled some combat points and knowledge into his subordinates, constantly urging them to become stronger.
The battle was about to begin in Dongwang City, and Yang Yu was feeling quite excited.
As long as he performs well enough in this battle, he might be able to jump from a centurion to a general. At that time, he would not only be able to lead more people, but also have plenty of opportunities to show himself.
However, I am afraid that I can't expect to become a general in this winter.
To become a general, it really depends on Chunxia's defense and offense.
As for the tactics at that time, Yang Yu had thought of it long ago, and it was called Sparks.
With the subhumans' keen hearing, smell, and vision, they can discover humans before they discover them, strike first, seize the initiative, and move to another place after firing a shot, making the soldiers of the Rose Empire run around in a hurry.
Of course, whether it is actually feasible or not can only be known after trying it with real guns and real bullets.
Yang Yu is not in a hurry and just wants to get through this winter first.
After the training, Yang Yu took the team to have lunch as usual. As soon as he finished eating, he was called over by his higher-level superior and went to the general's tent together.
In the general's tent, except for Yang Yu, all the officers who came were officers above the rank of general.
Lu Huajun sat cross-legged in the middle of the tent, without a pipe in his mouth. After everyone arrived, he slowly stood up and said straight to the point:
“I called you here this time for no other reason.
We are now facing an unprecedented test. Some elite troops from the Rose Empire have appeared behind us and captured several cities we have captured.
It is very likely to affect our logistical supplies.
We need some capable people to deal with those guys to ensure that our next strategy can be implemented smoothly.
This is a very dangerous mission, as the number and strength of the enemy are still unknown.
I need you to recommend capable personnel in your troops to me. I will select them, integrate them, and form a special support force.
When the difference in strength between the two teams is not too big, I hope this team can contain them.
If our strength is overwhelming theirs, don't be polite. We should focus on annihilation and capture them as a supplement.
As for when the opponent's strength is overwhelming, I also hope that you can find out their weaknesses.
Why they can move freely in the ice and snow and their personnel deployment are all very important information.
Okay, I have said all I need to say. Go back to the troops and count the strong ones, and report their test levels and recent performance to me.
I will make the selection myself.”
After saying that, the deputy general of the Luhua Army distributed all the papers to all the officers, except Yang Yu, who had an empty hand.
After all the officers left with the papers, only Yang Yu and Lu Hua Jun were left in Lu Hua Jun's tent.
Yang Yu didn't speak, and Lu Huajun didn't speak either. The scene was silent.
After a while, Lu Huajun asked, "Don't you have anything to ask? Why were you called here?"
Yang Yu responded calmly: "The general has made it clear just now. The general hopes that my troops and I will be part of the support force, so he asked me to stay here. I am not speaking because I am waiting for the general's order."
Lu Huajun nodded with satisfaction, "You are quite good to be able to detect my intentions. I have paid attention to every siege battle you fought.
Based on your strength alone, you are already a general."
"I dare not, I dare not." Yang Yu said modestly.
"However, in terms of strength alone." Lu Huajun changed the subject, "You are favored by His Majesty and the Prime Minister, so strength is not a problem. However, if you want to become a real general, strength alone is not enough, you must also have extremely outstanding command and judgment abilities.
I cannot fully assess these abilities of yours yet."
"General, that's because I haven't been given enough opportunities to show my abilities. As a centurion and a subordinate, the most important thing is to obey orders. I think I've done a good job of that."
"That's a very spirited answer. You can keep the people I assigned to you under control and make them obey you. You have strong management skills."
Lu Huajun hesitated for a while, picked up the pipe in his hand and put it down again.
"Although you have not been in the army for long, I will make an exception this time and trust you. I will select the new recruits from your team and give you some powerful soldiers to supplement them."
"That's not necessary." Yang Yu smiled. "Although we haven't been together for a long time, I have some feelings for them. Besides, we have practiced many times.
At this point, if I were to lead some people I don’t know and help them get acquainted with the team, it would take a lot of time.
This operation is very urgent. There is no time to breathe, right, General
Besides, General, if I lead my troops away, those new recruits will also be assigned to other teams.
We are about to reach Dongwang City. If we attack the city, I am very worried that they will not be able to adapt to other troops, resulting in heavy casualties."
Hearing Yang Yu's sincere suggestion, Lu Huajun nodded.
"That's fine. Go back and rest now! And tell your subordinates about this. I'll call you back after I've chosen someone."
After saying that, Lu Huajun waved to Yang Yu, and Yang Yu retreated respectfully.
Lu Huajun, who was alone, lit his pipe again, took a deep puff, sighed helplessly, and watched the smoke rings slowly rise.
Lu Huajun didn't know what the consequences of this decision would be, but he still decided to take a gamble and see if Yang Yu could be the person who could end the war together.
