Chapter 1730 The Temptation of 1731 Famous Generals

Dwarf Marshal Xie Ke on the other side had better luck. After retreating from Ironforge, he was originally prepared. On the way south, he ran into the Tang Army's 3rd Armored Corps, and then the army was defeated and finished.

But as he headed south, apart from a small number of Tang Army attack planes and bombers harassing him, the elite Tang Army that was supposed to appear on his retreat route suddenly disappeared.

This made his Eastern Front's journey go quite smoothly. He followed this army out of the cold world of Ironforge. At this time, he seemed to have seen his own hope again.

Yes, he began to fantasize again: the Tang army's delay in attacking the few remaining supply lines south of Ironforge may be a turning point.

As long as these supply lines can be held, Ironforge seems to be able to continue to hold on: at least, Binghan I has this illusion at this moment.

Because of this, he ordered Xie Ke to mobilize his troops and set up a formation along the supply line, preparing to use a long snake formation to save the endangered Ironforge.

"Your Majesty, such a defense line cannot be defended at all. As long as the Tang army resumes the attack, we will be finished." Xie Ke stood in the tent with an ugly face, admonishing the ambitious Binghan I: "Collect the troops, it is still But in a battle, dispersing the troops is no different from committing suicide."

"Hasn't the enemy not attacked yet? As long as we can hold the supply line, there will be a turning point for Ironforge! This time, the Tang people misjudged the situation and suspended the siege of Ironforge, proving that the gods still stand. On our side!" Binghan I confidently retorted to his marshal: "You have to believe that this is fate! We will definitely win!"

"I don't doubt this, Your Majesty!" Of course Xie Ke couldn't slap Binghan I in the face, so he could only change his tone and continued to explain: "We don't have much time, and the Tang army may resume its direction at any time. The attack on... Once we collapse, there will be no way to implement the subsequent plan. "

"I think our previous failures were all because we were too timid and wasted our fighter opportunities! If we could be braver... the situation would definitely be much better than now!" When Binghan I said these words, he actually regretted it very much. A series of passive strategic arrangements before.

He regretted following Moss's plan and invested a lot of supplies in the steel barrier. This caused the dwarf troops to lose many strategic reserves while losing the steel barrier.

During the Battle of Everwinter City, they did not resolutely counterattack, wasting precious time, resulting in the fall of Everwinter City, and a series of subsequent failures.

The subsequent Battle of Saint Lo and the defeat in the central region seemed to be because the frontline generals hesitated to move forward and found a lot of excuses to postpone the plan, and were eventually defeated by the Tang army.

In short, he deeply regretted following Moss's advice and adopting a defensive posture, which wasted precious opportunities in the early stages of the campaign. Now he decided to correct his mistakes and personally organize a decisive counterattack to solve the dilemma in Ironforge. "What do you mean?" Xie Ke felt that his emperor was crazy. It was only at this moment that he understood why the civil servants and Marshal Balov who were stationed in Ironforge were willing to let him run away with His Majesty the Emperor.

He felt that it was definitely not a good thing to take His Majesty the Emperor with him. His retreat southward would not be easy.

"It's very simple! Counterattack! Since we can't defend such a long line of defense, why don't we take the initiative to counterattack and drive the Tang army in the southern plain back to the central mountainous area?" Binghan I's eyes sparkled, as if he thought he had come up with a trick. The best plan.

Xie Ke was already shocked by Binghan I's boldness: With these rags and defeated soldiers in his hands, it was already a miracle that he could reach the small mountainous area in the southeast safely. How naive it was to expect them to fight back... ?

But as a serious military general, he had an idea at this time and thought of a possibility: Where did the main force of the Tang Army sweep across the southern region go?

In his opinion, there are just a few possibilities: the first is that the Tang Army suddenly turned north to encircle the 11th and 12th Army Groups retreating to Ironforge; the second is that the Tang Army went south to harass the busy The elves who were repairing the fortifications went away; the third option was that the main force of the Tang army stayed where it was, and then its counterattack would hit the iron plate...

The last possibility is actually not very likely. After all, the Tang army did not encounter any real resistance, and it was impossible to wait for several days for the dwarves to mobilize their troops.

Therefore, regardless of whether the opponent is moving north or south, it seems possible that there are not many defenders left in the southern plains. It is really possible for them to make some progress in their counterattack here.

But... what happened after the counterattack was very passive: they were unlikely to drive the Tang army back to the other side of the central mountainous area and restore the defense line. No matter how bad the Tang army was, it was impossible for them to achieve such a strategic goal.

So, the counterattack troops were besieged by the Tang army in the central plain, and it would not be so easy to retreat. By then, they are likely to suffer heavy losses or even be destroyed on the road.

 But despite this, the result is quite tempting: as the commander of the coalition forces, Xie Ke is likely to be the first and only general to recapture the fallen city from the Tang army! With this title, he is a famous general of the coalition forces, and even the first general of the coalition forces, and he is truly worthy of the title.

Therefore, after hesitating for a few seconds, Xie Ke did not rush to appease Binghan I and asked him to take back his order. Instead, he agreed: "Your Majesty, your order is the program of my actions... But as a soldier, Commander, I must fulfill my duty."

He pointed to the map as he spoke: "I want to confirm that my troops can obtain sufficient supplies, and then calculate the number of troops that can be assembled... I will report to you in a few hours whether I can counterattack."

The soldiers were so fast that he even compressed the time into a few hours. This answer was really pleasant to Binghan I, who was used to hearing prevarication, so he patted Xie Ke on the shoulder and praised with satisfaction: "Marshal is really loyal and patriotic. If we turn defeat into victory, we can defend our country." If you come to Ironforge...I will definitely reward you heavily!"

 Xieko had already gone to check the troops' supplies and began to try to assemble his own troops. He didn't know yet that he had indeed guessed Tang Jun's movements just now.
