Chapter 838: Can Two Legions Work?
After all, a surrounded army without supplies can easily suffer a morale collapse and be wiped out.
Even the best soldiers of the empire could not withstand the morale blow of being surrounded.
If the Second Army and the Oath Warriors can really successfully complete the task of closing the door and beating the dogs, then the overall situation has been decided, which is really great.
But that's just a thought.
To be honest, Flynn did not expect these two troops to complete such a large task.
After all, the combined number of their two armies is more than 20,000.
With more than 20,000 people, they are responsible for cutting off the rear of a 2 million-strong army?
The difficulty of that challenge is really too high!
If completed, it will be a truly epic victory.
And sure enough, as Flynn expected, the commander of his empire, the Duke of Ravenna, is no fool!
The main force of the empire has indeed entered the Maginot Line area, and the communication channel between their tail and the outside world is indeed not very wide.
A force of 20,000 people can theoretically block this empire's retreat channel.
But the empire had already taken precautions.
Behind the tail of the main army, tens of thousands of more elite troops were specially deployed to guard the rear.
And these tens of thousands of troops are theoretically enough to completely guard the roads behind the empire.
After a cursory observation of the situation, Flynn noticed that behind the Empire's tail, there were at least 50,000 left-behind troops responsible for ensuring a smooth retreat, and they were all elite troops of the Empire.
Yes, the elite, not the no-names.
The two indigenous legions he sent totaled only 20,000 people.
20,000 against 50,000, the empire's numerical advantage is very obvious.
Not to mention, there are many resting and slow-moving miscellaneous troops in that area.
The empire's commander, the Duke of Ravenna, also received the battle report from the rear immediately.
After hearing about the number of troops sent by Flynn to bypass the enemy, he smiled contemptuously and said, "It's only 20,000 troops. I don't care whether they are brave troops or ordinary conventional troops."
"But they only have 20,000."
"And I have deployed a total of 50,000 elite troops in the rear! They are not of the same level at all. It seems that I don't need to worry too much."
"Flynn is not a famous general after all. His use of troops is within my expectations."
"Well, but after all, that passage is important, and even affects the life and death of the entire army. Well, if you send another 50,000 people, you don't necessarily have to rush to the battlefield, but you must observe the situation nearby in time."
"If a problem occurs, we will provide you with immediate support!"
50,000 elite rear-cutting troops, plus 50,000 potential reinforcements on the way, including even the slower-advancing second and third-line troops near the rear of the empire.
It can be said that the empire has an absolute advantage in terms of troop strength on the rear battlefield, and it is even the largest disparity in troop strength on the entire battlefield.
Neither Ravenna, the commander of the empire, nor even Flynn himself could see the possibility that the 20,000 Second Legion and Oath Warrior troops could actually threaten the rear of the empire.
Although Flynn knew that these two legions of his were unable to complete the task of cutting off the tail of the Empire's army.
But Flynn let them continue fighting.
Facing a strong enemy with superior strength and still fighting forcefully will definitely cause a lot of casualties.
But it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a moment to use it.
In such a super large-scale battle, at the most critical moment, there is no need to continue to hide and conserve strength.
What are you afraid of sacrifice?
Going all out is the way to go!
The Second Legion, as the ace unit, was originally born for this kind of battle situation!
They are born to challenge the most difficult battlefields.
Of course it is the same at this time, the second legion has to challenge.
Next to Flynn, there happened to be the leader of the player's army.
Niu Dingtian had just been resurrected and passed by Flynn. He also knew that Flynn had sent troops to attack the empire's tail.
Seeing the situation of the imperial army, Niu Dingtian was naturally a little unable to hold back. He excitedly said to Flynn: "Boss, this task is quite difficult! I guess with the three melons and two dates you sent, we can completely defeat him." It can’t be such a difficult task.”
"I will take my people and go around to cut off the empire's retreat. Is there such a thing as this?"
Niu Dingtian rubbed his hands excitedly, and said with some hesitation: "But I estimate that it will be difficult for us to get through with our own strength. After all, the empire has occupied most of the battlefield. With only the strength of our Dingtian Alliance, Brother, it’s difficult to successfully get around to the rear of the empire.”
"I wonder, boss, if there is any way you can help our brothers get there? If we can get around smoothly, with the tens of thousands of brothers in our Dingtian Alliance, we will definitely be able to give the empire a big dumpling!"
"Boss, when the time comes, I will take you to eat big meat! Enjoy it!"
Flynn glanced at Niu Dingtian speechlessly and thought to himself: If he had the ability to let tens of thousands of brave men suddenly bypass millions of imperial troops in such a situation, wouldn't this battle be fought casually?
Going against the empire's millions of troops to circumvent the empire? He can achieve this level, but he still needs the fighting power of the Heavenly Alliance?
After outflanking, it's definitely not that simple!
I don’t know what this Niu Dingtian is thinking in his mind.
…
However, the idea of Niu Dingtian, the leader of the Dingtian Alliance, is quite correct.
That is, just by sending out two legions now, it is definitely impossible to complete the task of ending the empire.
Two indigenous legions won't work, but if there are still brave men, that won't necessarily be the case!
As long as there are brave men, infinite possibilities can be created.
And, in fact, Flynn had already thought of this.
Flynn did not approve Niu Dingtian's plan. In fact, Flynn did not have the ability to suddenly send Niu Dingtian and his tens of thousands of brothers to the rear of the empire.
Of course, Flynn does have a backup plan.
but not now.
Flynn now focuses his attention on the Second Arrow Legion and the Oath Warriors.
Flynn wanted to see how valuable his two most powerful infantry regiments could be in this battle.
How many enemies can they kill?
How much attention will it attract to the empire?
How much information can you get for yourself?
Let the empire show how many of their trump cards they have?
In a fierce military strategic confrontation, the commanders of both sides quickly made targeted deployments.
In addition to the original 50,000 troops left behind, the empire sent another 50,000 troops to come over for reinforcements at any time. It can be said that it has made its tail impregnable.
