The Three Kingdoms

Cao Zhang's tiger eyes burst out with sharp light, and he directly expressed his doubts: "No.30 Seventh Army, No.40 Second Army, plus my cavalry regiment, now there are more than [-] soldiers and horses. , will definitely starve to death!"

"Support war with war!"

In Zhuge Liang's elegant voice, there was a fierceness of the battlefield.

He was never a benevolent villager.

Since following Liu Bei, killing, betrayal, cruel...he has done it countless times. This time, he didn't mind using killing as a war, slaughtering the whole of Greece in exchange for the survival of all their soldiers.

"Actually, since the capture of Sparta City, I have sent people to collect food. The food and grass captured are not much, enough to last us for ten days."

The division commander of the 42nd Army, a calm veteran from the Jiangdong Army, said in a low voice.

"It's a good thing!"

Zhuge Liang gazed with admiration, looked at the commander, and said: "We will use these ten days effectively, after these ten days, the entire Greek battlefield will undergo tremendous changes, and by then they may not be in the mood to encircle and suppress We are here!"

Once the Severus Fortress is breached, the defense system of the Roman army on the entire eastern battlefield will be defeated. At that time, Thrace and Greece will have difficulty taking care of both front and back. They must only fight for defense, and it is impossible to have enough troops to attack Siege them.

But these ten days are also critical ten days. With the strength of the Roman army, once they find the weakness of their army, it will not be a problem to wipe them out.

"Look, in the whole of southern Greece, although there are many towns, the most important ones are only six or seven main cities. We can use these six or seven main cities to form a roundabout strategy with them!"

"Sparta City must give up!"

"And we have to divide our troops!"

"The meaning of dividing troops is to draw their attention, so that they can't be sure about our strength and intentions!"

Zhuge Liang began to focus on the tactical arrangement: "Cao Zhang, the cavalry regiment you lead is the key mobility and the core of our battle. Whether we can survive depends on whether you can attract their ideas!"

"Please ask the chief of the general staff to assign tasks, Cao Zhang will definitely live up to the chief of the general staff!"

"very good!"

Zhuge Liang smiled: "From now on, their cavalry regiment will withdraw and hide outside the city, and bring enough food and grass for ten days. When we lure the main force of the Roman army to the west, you set off north and go up the east road. From Polis, the city of Corinth, on the head-on, and then cross the sea, cross the Strait of Corinthia, and attack the city of Athens, you will inevitably encounter resistance, and what you have to do is not to fight, retreat when you encounter resistance, If you can get through it, go through it, if you can't get through it, just take a detour!"

Cavalry mobility is his only advantage now.

So Cao Zhang will be his trump card to win.

"Attack the city of Athens?"

"It's just momentum!"

Zhuge Liang said: "I can't let them think that I can only be beaten and not fight back. I want to scare them, maybe they will come back to help!"

"What about us?"

Ling Cao and Liao Hua asked.

"The No. 40 Second Army and No. 30 Seventh Army will use divisions as units, break up into parts, and retreat westward along the way to the target city of Olympia!" Zhuge Liang handed out a marching route map with clear standards. The direction of progress of each division, and the detailed route.

This is a strategic deployment that he racked his brains and combined all the staff wisdom of the two armies' staff departments.

The six main divisions of the two armies, that is, six withdrawal routes, will form a multifaceted retreat.

This is also his strategy to lure the Roman army.

"The camp will be dismantled after six hours, so during these six hours, use all the materials and workshops in the local area, and use local materials. I will tell you that you can use all the manpower and material resources of the whole city to complete all the retreats of your own soldiers and horses." Armament needed!"

"promise!"

Zhuge Liang glanced at each of the generals, and said in a deep voice: "This battle is about the life and death of all of us. If we make the slightest mistake, our entire army may be wiped out, so I hope you can do every instruction I gave you, and fight on time. Arrive where you need to be, and don't deviate from the route I set for you!"

"Don't worry, chief of staff, we will absolutely obey every instruction of the chief of staff!"

All the generals turned solemn and bowed their heads to express their obedience.

"Okay, let's get ready!"

"Yes!"

The generals left the ring hall.

Zhuge Liang asked Cao Zhang to catch up quietly, and invited Cao Zhang back.

Cao Zhang was confused and stepped into the hall again.

Zhuge Liang stood beside the sand table, looking at the sand table, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Ziwen, I will put all the gains and losses in this battle on you!" After a while, Zhuge Liang said.

"Zhang will never delay the strategic deployment of the chief of staff. No matter what the situation is, I will definitely attack the city of Athens!" Cao Zhang nodded.

"wrong!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Your task is not to attack the city of Athens. Surrounding Wei and saving Zhao is a good strategy, but it is not suitable at this time. If Greece is gone, then the city of Athens is not so important. Even if we attack the city of Athens, the Greek legion may not be able to do so at this time." Will not return aid, annihilate us, is more important than the so-called city of Athens!"

"What does the Chief of Staff mean?"

"In this battle, we are short of troops, geographical advantage is not enough, and the environment is also at a disadvantage. It is inevitable to be beaten. It is a very risky decision for me to divide my troops into six groups. Once any route is pursued, the whole army will be wiped out. God won't be perfect to us anymore, the six-way army will definitely suffer damage, but I can't take care of it anymore!"

Zhuge Liang's figure looked a little bleak in Cao Zhang's eyes. Sometimes he ran out of manpower. He had tried his best, but sacrifice was inevitable in today's environment.

"I pin my last hope in this battle on the cavalry regiment!"

Zhuge Liang continued: "To deal with the two Roman legions, even with the circumstances, our army is definitely not strong enough. Now we have to drag one and fight one. My target is the Greek legion!"

"After the soldiers are divided into six groups, it will cause the distraction of the Roman army!"

"My division of troops has already prevented the two legions from converging. After all, they divide their troops to pursue, but the route of my division is carefully selected. As long as our army goes smoothly, we can complete the confluence at the end. The final confluence location is the city of Olympia! "

"This will form a time gap for them to join forces, and it will also be our best chance to turn defense into offense!"

"But our army is still not enough to deal with the Greek army."

"And the cavalry regiment is the only key that can determine whether we can defeat the Greek Legion!"

Zhuge Liang laid out the strategy in front of Cao Zhang, and at the same time gave a new marching map, which is the marching map of the cavalry regiment: "Three thousand cavalry can stop thousands of troops, and they decide to attack on the battlefield. After all, Cavalry are often knives that break the net, your task is very important and critical, you must hide your whereabouts, and you must not make mistakes in timing, you can do it!"

"The final mission is guaranteed to be completed!"

Cao Zhang was puzzled for a moment: "It's just that the last general doesn't understand, why didn't you tell them?"

"You are a trump card, I don't want everyone to know the trump card, not only the enemy, even our own people, only in the absence of reinforcements, they will activate the greatest ability before life and death, complete Deployment for this battle!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes were as deep as an abyss, and he said calmly.
