Chapter 1273 Strangeness
At the same time, after getting rid of Fisher and Peter who were about to fight, Li Ce, who was almost too busy with various military affairs, just returned to his tent and listened to the report from his adjutant.
After the adjutant finished his report, heavy footsteps were heard outside the tent.
Li Ce looked up, and soon, in this cold winter, Wei Qing, panting and sweating profusely, walked into his sight.
Seeing Li Ce, Wei Qing quickly straightened his military uniform and took a deep breath...
"Report to the general! We have finished running twenty laps around the camp!"
"Um."
Li Ce responded casually, and his eyes fell back on the report at hand.
"Do you know why I punished you?"
"Got it! Questioning the superior's orders on the battlefield! If everyone does this, the superior's orders will not be implemented smoothly and the battle will be delayed!"
Hearing this, Li Ce's mouth curled up slightly.
"Go down."
"I'll take my leave!"
Just like what Wei Qing said, once the commander issues an order, you question it, I question it, can the order still be implemented? Therefore, it is clearly written in the military discipline of the Great Zhou Dynasty that obeying orders is the duty of a soldier!
This is also the first lesson for all new recruits after joining the army.
Wei Qing obviously knew this, but he still did it. Fortunately, he met Silk, who was relatively easy to talk to. If it was another general, he would probably have been court-martialed on the spot.
Judging from the results, Li Ce did not intend to investigate further. He just used this incident as an opportunity to give a minor punishment and a severe warning and that was it.
Needless to say, Li Ce was satisfied with Wei Qing.
Although teaching a smart student will make you feel less accomplished, it does save you time and effort and can make you happy.
In the next few days, the fighting between the two sides remained at a stalemate. The two troops on Fisher's and Peter's sides did not continue to make trouble. Even in the most recent battle, Li Ce discovered that the performance of the army led by Peter was much better as a whole.
Although they are not yet comparable to Smith's troops, at least they do not have the feeling of being a clear drag on the main force.
Li Ce could roughly guess the reason. On the one hand, the Luosha Republican troops began to accumulate experience. On the other hand, after several battles, the new recruits who could not withstand the intensity of the war had all died.
Peter may have already screened the original troops of the Rakshasa Republican Party, but to be honest, in the opinion of Li Ce and others, the quality of the soldiers is still mixed.
Under this premise, the war is like a great wave of sifting through the sands, conducting a more thorough screening of the Russian Republican Party’s troops. Only those who can withstand the test in the fierce battle and survive are the elite.
Although the strength of the Luosha Republicans has decreased, the elite troops gathered together have made their battle formations more tenacious! From the perspective of the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, this is of course a good thing for Li Ce.
At least with the cooperation of Smith's cavalry, the flank was stabilized.
However, from the perspective of the entire battle situation, the recent battle situation made Li Ce a little worried.
Because they have flying units, during this period, Li Ce also asked the Pegasus Knight to take him to fly over the main battlefield to observe the situation.
As the commander-in-chief, he has to look at the overall situation. Although the main battlefield is under the charge of the troops of the Saint Laurent Empire, it does not mean that he can ignore it.
After two rounds of observation, Li Ce's expression became more and more solemn.
After the war, after a brief discussion with Zhou Xu, he asked the Pegasus Knight to deliver the message to the Saint Laurent Empire.
The Pegasus Knight was familiar with the route and it didn't take him much time to go back and forth.
Marshal Adolf, who received the news, also frowned. The solemn atmosphere that was created invisibly made the adjutant who came in later stunned.
"Marshal, what happened?"
"The commander-in-chief of the reinforcements sent a message from the Pegasus Knight..."
Marshal Adolf did not hide anything from his adjutant and spoke directly and slowly.
"He felt that the greenskins were deliberately slowing down their pace."
Then, before the adjutant could think any more, Marshal Adolf spoke again...
"In fact, I've felt this way these past two days."
"Marshal, at this stage, our reinforcements have arrived, and there are reinforcements outside to cooperate with us in launching an offensive. It is not surprising that the greenskins are under pressure and start to switch from offense to defense and slow down the offensive, right?"
However, Marshal Adolf shook his head when he heard this.
"I had the same idea at first, so I didn't feel there was anything wrong, but recently this feeling has become stronger and stronger."
Marshal Adolf slowly expressed his thoughts. Although he was the supreme commander of the Saint Laurent army, sometimes he also needed to listen to the ideas and opinions of others from different perspectives. After all, those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly.
And an adjutant whom he trusts is undoubtedly a good choice.
"It's not that the greenskins won't fight a defensive battle, but the question is, given the current situation, is it necessary for them to fight a defensive battle?"
This question stunned the adjutant.
Marshal Adolf ignored him and continued speaking according to his own thoughts.
"We have reinforcements, but the other side also has the support of the Blood Hand Clan. Maybe combined, we are stronger now, but the greenskins have always been good at attacking but not at defending. With this gap in strength, they slowed down their pace to fight a defensive battle, and the losses were too great. It would be better for them to continue to fight offensively. Rather than adjusting their strategy, I feel that they are more like stalling for time."
"Delaying time..."
Hearing this, the adjutant was shocked.
"Marshal, you mean the greenskins are waiting for reinforcements?!"
Marshal Adolf nodded solemnly.
"Not only do I think so, the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements also thinks so."
Marshal Adolf fell into deep thought as he spoke.
If the greenskins are waiting for reinforcements, then they should speed up and try to end the battle before the reinforcements arrive, or at least inflict heavy damage on the enemy.
But even so, this decision is not easy to make, and someone must bear the risks involved.
Taking a deep breath, Marshal Adolf stood up.
"I'll go ask that person."
As he spoke, Marshal Adolf walked towards the depths of the fortress.
Marshal Adolf walked through the obviously simple military barracks and into the courtyard, as if he had come to another world.
The entire courtyard is made of luxurious white bricks and stones, and a large number of flowers and plants are planted in the courtyard.
In the center of the courtyard, in a round pavilion also made of white bricks and stones, a middle-aged blond man wearing a loose white robe and an exaggerated beard was shaking red wine in a crystal glass while enjoying the warm winter sun.
The sunlight fell on him, making his body and features look like ancient Greek sculptures, and invisibly revealed the majesty of a superior.
"Your humble servant Adolf Enzo pays respect to His Majesty!"
