Chapter 174: 174 Unexpected Harvest
Chapter 174 174Unexpected Harvest
"If Mr. Tang Mo is willing to surrender, then Mr. Gis is willing to give up his position as the person in charge of the Wright Kingdom, and the entire Wright Kingdom, including the Kingdom of Susas... will be handed over to Mr. Tang Mo." Sitting on a small horse, The envoys from Cyric chatted.
Along the way, he was deeply shocked by the entire position of Datang Group. Because he didn't even see the hordes of soldiers!
He did not see the small number of soldiers stationed in the trenches, nor the machine gun bunkers hidden halfway up the mountain.
Similarly, he did not see artillery positions, because these positions were deployed further away. After all, they had an absolute range advantage.
He did not see the headquarters, nor the transport carriages, scattered laborers, or other people. It was as if what stood in front of Cyric's troops was just a wilderness.
It's a pity that people are more afraid of the unknown. Facing the endless wilderness, the envoy felt that the power of the Tang Group became even more unfathomable.
Regrettably, he did not come here to worship, he came here to negotiate, so he could only say some words that even he himself found a bit boring, to the boring people in front of him.
Jijis sent him to negotiate. Of course, Tang Mo couldn't receive him personally. In fact, even Redman didn't have the time to receive such an envoy of unknown rank.
In the end, a battalion commander sat bored in front of Cyric's envoy, listening to the other party talking about some whimsical words with an indifferent expression.
In the end, the envoy felt that it was not interesting anymore. He ended his conversation and looked at the young commander after he finished speaking: "All he has to pay is to change the name of his workshop, and then Just hand over the new technology.”
Of course he didn't know what the epaulettes and armbands on the opponent's military uniforms that represented military ranks meant. He was just curious about why Datang Group would choose such a rustic color as the fabric of its military uniforms.
Although the design of this military uniform really has an indescribable sense of sophistication, to be honest, the color of the fabric is too ordinary.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. The envoy found that after he finished his eloquent words and stated the conditions, the other party was still silent and sat there without saying a word.
Sitting here bored, the battalion commander used his own brain to deduce his supply and tactical arrangements on the fantasy sandbox.
When he realized that it might be his turn to speak, he looked at the envoy's face and found that his face had turned red.
"Ah... I'm sorry, what did you just... say?" The young battalion commander didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and asked with a half-smile on his face.
"If Mr. Tang Mo is willing to surrender, then Mr. Gis is willing to give up his position as the person in charge of the Wright Kingdom, and the entire Wright Kingdom, including the Kingdom of Susas... will be handed over to Mr. Tang Mo." There was no other way, the envoy could only He repeated what he just said.
"You have been fighting all day... and you haven't even touched the forward positions of my troops. What gave you the courage to come here and talk nonsense?" The battalion commander frowned and asked seriously. A very embarrassing question for the other party.
His battalion consisted of more than 600 soldiers, including artillery troops and infantry. In fact, from the beginning of the battle, he had a company behind him as a reserve.
Not to mention the reserve team behind them, the two companies deployed in the front, 90% of the soldiers, have not even had a chance to shoot until now.
The efficiency of machine gun massacre is really too high. Those troops who have not yet exposed their positions are not willing to open fire and cause chaos to the machine guns.
"Go back and let your people clean up the battlefield...before it gets dark." After the battalion commander finished speaking, he stood up, patted the side of his pants twice with his white gloves, and pointed at Cyric's troops in the distance. Direction of stationing: "At least, you have to break through my front line and then come back to sue for peace, right? Otherwise... wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
The envoy was so angry that he could not speak for a long time. He was so choked by the battalion commander's coquettish words that he could not utter a single harsh word.
There was no way. The situation was stronger than the people. His unit was defeated by a sudden storm of bullets without even seeing anyone on the other side.
The pain in this is really like a person's awareness of the warmth and coldness of drinking water. If the troops on the front line had been more up to date, he would not be so embarrassed at this moment.
It is a pity that there is no what if...The continuous sound of gunfire has become an eternal nightmare, engraved in the minds of all Cyric commanders.
He came this time, wasn't it actually because after seeing the terrifying hail of bullets from the Datang Group, the troops were frightened and no one was willing to attack anymore, so he had the idea of suing for peace?
So he had no choice but to get on his horse, hold up the white flag and return the same way, and came to Gis in fear.
"So...you haven't even seen Tang Mo's face?" Ji Ji looked at his subordinates with contempt and asked in a long voice.
The subordinate who acted as the envoy looked embarrassed, lowered his head and replied: "The other party, the other party only sent an officer to receive me."
"It seems they have not agreed to our conditions?" Giese continued to ask questions without comment. "Yes." The envoy lowered his head and answered Guise's question: "The officer said...said..."
“What did you say?” Geese frowned, feeling that the other party was hesitant, which made him very irritated.
"He, he said...'At least, you have to break through my first line of defense and come back to sue for peace, right? Otherwise...isn't it embarrassing?'" The envoy mustered up the courage to say the ridicule of the Datang Group officer.
"Pfft..." Giese couldn't help it and laughed: "Hahahaha! That's right! When we ask for peace, we must win at least once..."
No one had the intention to laugh except him. Because they knew that it would not be easy for them to win the battle in front of them.
Not to mention the terrifying explosive artillery fire, just looking at the continuous weird gunfire is already very despairing.
At this moment, these Cyric commanders finally understood why Susus’ famous general Tucci died at the Sanchakou.
Faced with such an evil army, it is not a strange thing to lose one's life when caught off guard. I heard that Tucci died from shelling. Faced with a sneak attack by artillery fire that would explode on its own, it is normal for him to die...
"Yes, that's right...the other party said, let us...let us send people to clean up the battlefield, clean up, collect the bodies..." The envoy finally remembered another thing.
"That's reasonable. They have few soldiers, so they don't want to waste energy..." Giese nodded, and then looked at a few of his men: "Arrange some handymen and let them go up to collect the corpses, and don't get close to the opponent's position..."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the row of generals beside him: "Don't worry, after the sky gets dark, we can use the darkness of night and our advantage in military strength to give the opponent a hard blow."
This is a new tactic that Jisi thought up hard and he could find it in a short time, which is to use the night and low visibility environmental conditions to stick up and seize the Datang Group's defensive position.
He had also thought about using dispersed formations to attack before, but Cyric's troops had never been trained in this tactic.
Once the phalanx is disbanded, without the need for drumbeats to direct the troops, and the troops are dispersed to attack, then one's own side will definitely be in chaos first.
How can dispersed soldiers solve the problem of being afraid to move forward? How to effectively command all troops? How to mobilize these forces to deal with the subsequent problems after the attack fails or succeeds?
In short, they have never used dispersed troops to attack. If they use it reluctantly, they will only cause trouble for themselves.
The alternative is to use the cover of night to close the distance between the two sides as much as possible, and then take advantage of the large number of people to try to fight.
It is true that they have not tried operating at night, and if large corps is mobilized at night, there will definitely be all kinds of troubles, but Guis has his own ideas.
Although the chaos at night was terrifying, Cyric relied on its large numbers and could bear any greater loss.
According to Giese's idea, even if both sides were in chaos, even if he paid three times the price, he could defeat Tang Mo's troops first without losing two regiments.
At dawn the next day, the chaotic battle will end, and his troops can use their numerical superiority to seize the position and win the battle.
This is another reason why he sent an envoy to see Tang Mo. He planned to paralyze Tang Mo, and then actively prepare at night to launch an attack in the dark night before dawn the next day.
In a pre-dawn attack, the darkness will soon be dispelled by the sunrise, the chaos will soon end, and early morning is the moment to decide the winner!
Everything seems to be in his plan. As long as his night attack succeeds, the battle will probably be over.
Because Tang Mo had no time to gather his defeated troops and assemble them to deploy a second line of defense. The disadvantage in terms of military strength did not allow Tang Mo to do this.
To his surprise, when he went to "persuade surrender" this time, he got something else: the other party actually allowed him to clean up the battlefield.
Even if he is only allowed to clean up two-thirds of the corpses, he can make the offensive path smoother.
As long as they survive this distance that is almost impossible to cross during the day, they can use fewer casualties as the price and let the soldiers from both sides fight together!
"Tang Mo, Tang Mo, a proud soldier will be defeated... You are still too young." A sinister smile appeared on Ji Ji's face.
