Chapter 184: "·Amazing Intelligence"

People who attack your enemies should not be completely convinced, because he may launch the same attack against you.
-Leonardo da Vinci (typical artist of the Renaissance)
Li Xini, who is loyal to himself, is still so loyal. He and Antio, these two people have always been their most loyal heroes! Hearing Li Xini's remarks following Ai Gesi, Bai Feng said in his heart that it was unmoved and false.
"You guys, still forget the biggest question! General Eggers, do you remember the purpose of sending General Nelson detour to the enemy's rear this morning? Don't you even understand my intention?"
Seeing that the generals in the military account were all opposed, even Gamilios seemed to be prepared to say two disagreements. Bai Feng hurriedly said such words to Aegis, hoping that Ige Si can understand what he means.
"Governor, I understand your intentions, and I also understand what you are doing; but, I still think it is too risky to do so. No one of us can be sure that the information brought by those tribes is accurate. ,this is the key of the problem.
Assuming their intelligence is accurate, of the only remaining 35,000 troops in the enemy’s army, only 10,000 infantrymen and 5,000 cavalrymen were soldiers from the Eastern Union of the North Shore, and the other 20,000 soldiers were attacked from the South Bank. Conquer the captives of the tribe.
Under the premise that their main force is annihilated, we may not be able to find a chance to rescue the families of the 20,000 captured soldiers; once we cannot rescue their families, they will become our life and death enemies on the battlefield.
Today’s battle governor, you also saw that those grey warriors who were used by the enemy as cannon foes did not dare to take other actions on the battlefield, let alone go against them; although their fighting power and fighting will were not strong, but They are not to be underestimated in sufficient quantities.
Can our 20,000 armies fight head-to-head with 15,000 elite warriors and 20,000 slave warriors? Not to mention whether we can win, even if we win, the price we need to pay is not something we can afford.
With the strong strength and development momentum of the Eastern Alliance on the north bank of the Cangluo River, they will definitely reorganize a larger army to continue the southward invasion after learning of the failure of the southward invasion; by then we still need enough troops to The shore blocks the enemy's attack.
Of course, all the premises here are that our control of the enemy’s intelligence is extremely accurate; if the intelligence provided by those small tribes is wrong, or inaccurate, then this expedition will become our Roman army disaster. "
The entire military account of Aggs’s remarks was silent, and even Bai Feng had to admit that his thoughts were indeed under-considered; after thinking for a long time, Bai Feng, who was really powerless to refute, was preparing to give up his plan, military account. Outside, there was a sound of war horse hoarse. Why is there a sound of war horse hoarse at this time? Everyone turned their attention to Nielsen.
In response to the questioning eyes of everyone including Bai Feng, Nielsen smiled slightly awkwardly and then explained:
"Today when I decided to lead the army and follow the enemy, I did not lead all the cavalry back to the battlefield. Instead, I sent the two teams of Roman light cavalry that you gave me to the Governor, and continued to investigate the situation of the enemy. , They should be back now."
"Then go out and see if you have any useful information. We are here to wait for you." After personally instructing Nelson to go out and see, Bai Feng said helplessly to the generals present: "But May our General Nelson bring us a surprise."
Hearing Bai Feng's so feeble, the generals in the military account all smiled and shook their heads. What information can change the situation based on the two teams of Roman light cavalry under Nelson? It's just Bai Feng's joke.
The screams of the war horses outside the military account quickly calmed down. The atmosphere in the military account also appeared extremely dull. Bai Feng did not want to speak. The other generals also kept their own silences. Everyone was thinking about how to come Cope with the next battle.
After a while, Nielsen who had gone out came back, and still came back with a smile and excitement; Bai Feng, who wanted to change the dull atmosphere in the military account, looked at Nielsen with a smile and said:
"How did our General Nelson go out and smile when he came back, wouldn't it be the two teams of Roman light cavalry who brought you back a beautiful woman captured from behind the enemy army? Or how could you be so happy? "
"Ha ha ha ha..." Bai Feng's humorous words also made the generals in the military account laugh, and even Nielsen blushed a little; but he still did not converge the smile on his face, come Go to the center of the military account to report to Bai Fengjun:
"Governor, the two teams of Roman light cavalry just did not bring me back beautiful women, but the things they brought back were more useful than the beautiful women! With the things they brought back, your expedition plan was completely feasible! "
"Oh, is that right?" I didn't expect this Nielsen to really surprise himself. Bai Feng, who was surprised, quickly sat up straight and asked Nelson: "So what did they bring back, you hurry up Talk about it!"
"This is the case. After accepting my orders, the two teams of Roman light cavalry continued to go north along our original marching route; until they found an enemy barracks, they quietly left a team of cavalry. A careful reconnaissance was conducted on this military camp.
The other team of cavalry continued to go north, and as a result the two teams of cavalry received very important information; the team of cavalry left behind found that there were no 35,000 troops in the enemy’s barracks, but only two. Only five thousand soldiers.
Among them, 20,000 were slave soldiers dressed in gray, and only 5,000 were enemy soldiers dressed in black. As for the latter cavalry, their discovery was even more important. They continued to go north for thirty miles. Later they found the camp where the enemy army held the slaves.
At least 150,000 old and weak women and children of the tribe conquered by the enemy were held in this camp, but the enemy troops who watched them only had about 1,000 black cavalry; they continued to go further north, but they continued There is no trace of the enemy. "
"How is this possible?! The enemy has at least 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry. How can there be only 5,000 infantry and a thousand cavalry, is your cavalry wrong? Perhaps, the enemy has other places Hidden troops?"
Faced with Bazel’s sudden questioning, Nelson didn’t know how to answer it. After all, he also felt unbelievable when he learned the information; other generals in the military account were full of doubts, and only Bai Feng stood up. Explained to Nielsen:
"You don't need to say anything. I believe that General Nelson will not lie; as for the two Roman light cavalry under his command, I have absolute faith in them. It is actually very simple to judge the truth of this information. "
