Chapter 1280 Interception
[Stop exploring the little friction between General Richard Lane and that Excellency. After reading the previous two chapters, haven’t you readers seen it yet? When the [Witch] was painstakingly weaving the 'Soul Captivating Web Destroyer War', and when the [Sly Fox] was fighting the backbone of the Sin King's Army on the Red Cloud Terrace, who did that Excellency choose to be his last barrier? ?
It's General Richard Lane, the [Iron Lion] Richard! It was precisely because he and his subordinates persisted for three full days, fighting to the last moment when their troops, supplies, and average combat effectiveness were far inferior to their opponents, that the Excellency was able to remotely control three theaters at the same time. His most loyal Skolk main battle army!
If there was really a gap between the two, then a series of extremely risky operations would not have been possible from the beginning.
Of course, the author also does not think that the sentence in General Richard's memoirs, "I hit it off with Pastor Hei Fan" is not nonsense, but we have enough reasons to believe that the reason why General Richard wrote this was not simply to beautify his own image. , but his wife's temper is really bad. If she knew that General Richard had a good impression of His Highness Wangyu, it would be very easy for bloodshed to occur.
Therefore, the author here asks everyone to treat them with a tolerant heart. After all, everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous, not to mention that General Richard was just frivolous at that time and was punished by someone within two days.
All in all, if you readers really want to understand the old stories of old sesame seeds and rotten millet, please buy Mr. Jun Wu's "True Black History VII" with a retail price of 16,888. There’s definitely some interesting stuff in the six bars.

…
In this confrontation, where the goal is simply to hold the position, the position on the blue front line, which is in charge of Lamorlock, has been removed from 80% of the total force, and turned into a place that may look like that at first glance, but if you look closely, If you look at it, it’s basically a shoddy project riddled with holes.
It is no exaggeration to say that if a defensive force of this level is attacked by a total of more than 50% of its own troops regardless of casualties, it will be difficult to survive more than three rounds of attacks, even if it is supported by basic fortifications.
The main force under Lamorlock had already assembled at this moment, and after a simple reorganization, they immediately headed towards the 'Chu River-Han Boundary' between the two sides' positions.
Most people did not see the significance of this operation, but this did not prevent them from being shocked.
By this time, many people had realized that Lamorlock really wanted to do something, and finally remembered that that person was not a military enthusiast or a command reserve who could be guessed by common sense, but a soldier who had already achieved a lot of dazzling achievements. General star.
It was obviously an unreasonable behavior, and it was obviously an operation that went against common sense, but the dissatisfied bystanders were inexplicably quiet, as if they had become Lamorlock and started to be unreasonable. .
But this is actually easy to explain, and it is not as strange as it seems, because these people who have high expectations for Lamorlock want to see unreasonable behavior and operations that go against common sense, and they don't mind We can see the subtlety of tactics in other players, but for a person of Lamorlock's height, whenever he uses methods that everyone can understand at a glance, people will feel disappointed.
Therefore, although Lamorlock won the deduction in this morning's round, he lost the support of the people.
Everyone just wanted to see a high-end game, even a one-sided high-end game. However, you, holding the title of a famous general, fought back and forth with a girl in the first and fifth grade. You finally won the game and almost lost yourself. All the troops, what's going on? !
If it goes according to everyone's expectations, Lamorlock will at least have a big victory with a strength difference of more than 60%, and it would be better if he achieves a complete victory with more than 80% strength.
As a result, my dear, there are zero survivors on the opposite side, and less than 30% of my own main force remains. What does this mean?
No matter whether your strength is limited or you are too lazy to fight hard and choose to deal with the problem, no one will buy it.
So, the moment Lamorlock left a total of sixty-six command cards and walked out of the battle area coolly (in the eyes of passers-by), everyone was excited!
They had a strong hunch that since Lamorlock did not admit defeat directly and simply left the game, it meant that he might still win this game!
Obviously after the game in the morning, he had turned into a hater, and no one could guess how he would win, but after Lamorlock completed this series of confusing operations, the vast majority of people still Blindly chose to believe him!
I believe he can win!
Don't ask me how he won, I don't know!
But Lamolock is not me, Lamolock is a famous general!
A famous general should look like a famous general! The honor of a famous general!
The audience is already excited because the taste is finally right!
…
However, Richard Lane, who was sitting opposite Lamorlock... to be precise, he thought he was sitting opposite Lamorlock, but he didn't feel that it was right, even though his staff officer had just described what he saw in the central area. The news was conveyed to Richard, but this handsome lion with both sunny and wild temperament had no time to care about him at this moment!
All his thoughts were already focused on the sand table in front of him!
His heart was peaceful as never before. At this moment, except for defeating his opponent in this battle, everything had become a cloud. The wildness and unruliness in his bones were producing chemical reactions unscrupulously, making Richard's bright eyes His eyes are always congested!
The status of the Dawn Sect, the grudges of the Black Fan Priest, etc. were all thrown aside by Richard. At this moment, he had forgotten his identity as a clergyman and was just a simple hunter!
If the impregnable defense can indirectly bite the opponent's throat and tear the enemy's flesh and blood, then this lion will never mind being a good turtle for the next half hour!
…
"bring it on!"
Richard took a deep breath, looked down at his main formation in the sand table, nodded with satisfaction after a few seconds, and issued two commands in succession, namely [double the range of activities of the scouts] and [reinforcement phase] Construct joint fortifications at adjacent friendly positions].
The fact that he relied on the defensive position to kill five Lamorlock reconnaissance teams did not make Richard feel at ease, so although he did not react immediately, he still completely transformed the position into an iron bastard and prepared to arm friendly forces. Increased vigilance.
The command was successfully sent and received very clear feedback five minutes later.
That's no feedback.
That's right, without any feedback, those scouts who received new orders were as if they had disappeared from the world.
Not only that, even the messengers who originally communicated with the friendly positions have not returned from delivering information for a long time.
【why is that……】
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, desperately suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, forcing himself to calm down, and trying to explain this incredible thing.
There is no doubt that the silence of the scouts and the messengers is by no means some ridiculous accident. Regardless of the latter having only two basic units, although the number of scouts that Richard has re-optimized is not large, they are of considerable quality. , if it were just an 'accident' randomly generated outside the commander's field of vision, it would be absolutely impossible for them to be completely silenced.
In summary--
"Intercept and kill."
Richard clenched his quill tightly and murmured: "And it's an interception based on absolute superiority. How is this possible... Where did they get the strength!?"
His doubts are not problematic in theory. You must know that although both sides do not know the specific deployment of the hostile forces, through frequent communication with their own positions, Richard has quickly mastered the forces deployed by the blue side on the opposite side, and what he belongs to Like the red side, although the opponent's combat power can ensure the safety of the front, it is difficult to achieve anything on the offensive level.
This is not difficult to understand. After all, we all know that the number of people required to hold a position and to conquer the next position are completely different concepts. Especially when the intelligence at hand is limited, only fools will blindly choose to advance.
The total strength of the two sides on the front line is almost the same. If we only look at the losses, Richard, who has only intercepted a few messengers and two scouts so far, still has to make more. After all, he is almost certain that those who were discovered by him before The scout team that was put out immediately afterwards was definitely from Lamorlock.
In this case, Richard, who had just planned to expand his control area but was devoured by a group of mobile troops, immediately couldn't sit still.
The reason is simple. As he said just now, it is theoretically impossible for Lamorlock to have such a level of troops!
"Go through the central area and directly insert into our sphere of influence..."
After ordering all the mobile troops wandering around the perimeter of the position to shrink as quickly as possible, Richard stood up, paced back and forth in front of the sand table with his hands behind his hands, gritted his teeth and said, "Is that guy the commander-in-chief of the other party!?"
The staff officer who had just entered the instructions shrugged and spread his hands and said: "Then I don't know, but if the conditions between the two parties are equal, unless the guy throws all his power into this side regardless of the cost, he will not be able to do it without the cooperation of friendly forces. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to intercept and kill our messenger..."
"Wait!"
Richard suddenly stopped and turned to look at his staff: "What did you say!?"
The latter was trembling with fright and subconsciously finished what he just said: "Isn't it possible?"
"last sentence!"
Richard was almost lying on the sand table, sketching on it with a stain-free quill pen that was easy to wipe, and asked anxiously: "What do you mean unless it's something?"
"Unless...well, that guy throws all his power into this side regardless of the cost?"
The staff officer whispered, and then his eyes widened in horror: "No way?"
Richard, who looked a little pale, sneered and asked, "What can't you do?"
"They can't possibly throw most of their troops over here!"
The partners who also have certain strategic qualities shook their heads desperately and said continuously: "When the enemy and we are equal in strength, if the opponent is rooted on the front line like us, this level of troop investment will directly cause them to collapse! Unless... ...The resources that Chief Priest Lamorok can mobilize at will can crush us in all directions."
"It's impossible. If it were as you said, there would be no need to fight this battle."
Richard raised his hand to wipe his sweat and let out a long breath: "If the resources are crushed in all directions, he doesn't even need to coordinate operations, he can fill us up with heads. It is impossible for this kind of mistake to happen in front of us. It’s in the group equipment.”
The staff officer's head was also sweating, and he asked in a dry voice: "What's going on?"
"Didn't you already tell me the answer?"
Richard sat back on his command seat and said with a livid face: "Our opponent... threw the resources in his hand regardless of the cost, under the condition that the conditions are equal."
The staff officer said feebly: "This is impossible, man, I just said the same, they will collapse! Please cheer up a little, don't just because the opposite is the Priest Lamorlock..."
“I’m cheered up and calm.”
Richard raised his hand to interrupt his companion, and said with a dry smile: "Destroy? Then let me ask you, how do you think the other party will collapse if he does what I said?"
The latter immediately replied concisely and without thinking: "It will break when touched."
"You mean, the main position they are relying on will be shattered at a touch?"
While writing quickly on the instruction card, Richard asked without raising his head. After receiving a positive reply from the other party, he smiled and said, "Okay, then go ahead and touch it."
The staff officer immediately laughed angrily: "Should I fight? Should you fight or should I fight?"
"I'll fight."
Richard raised his head, handed the command card to the other party, and said calmly: "But I don't know where the other party is."
"Well……"
The staff officer hesitated for a moment, and his face gradually began to turn pale: "I don't know...where..."
"Yes, although we do have information about the opponent's military strength now, and we also know that at least 80% of their troops have been deployed near us."
Richard pointed to the fog of war on the sand table in front of him and said softly: "But I don't know where their main position is. Take it."
"But……"
The staff officer took the command card handed over by Richard and said in a dry voice: "Their current defense is so weak. Even if it were not us, once other friendly forces discovered this kind of thing, would they let this opportunity pass?"
Richard raised his eyebrows and asked: "Do you think that after the opponent has allocated most of its combat power, they will hold up a big sign and write something like 'The defense here is empty, come and fight'?"
"..."
"Go and record the intelligence. Being passive is one thing, but if you want to suffocate me to death here, it depends on whether he has such a good mouth!"
