The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

Faced with Klein's question, Riegl fell into deep thought.

There are too many factors involved in a battle, and "giving it a try" based on guesswork will often lead to all kinds of unexpected results. You may be able to understand the enemy's strength, or the enemy may get hold of your information during the battle.

Once the situation becomes unfavorable, the enemy may even launch a fierce counterattack.

For this reason, "giving it a try" depends on whether the price paid can obtain equal or greater value. Li Geer was hesitant. Although he really wanted to find out the approximate strength of the Yan Army, the risks he would face if he took the risk with the strength of his two divisions were indeed not small.

"What do you think?" Riegl was unable to make a decision and threw the question to Klein.

Klein pondered for more than ten seconds and then said slowly:

"If we want to test it, we can't take all our troops with us. That means we have to allocate some of our troops to fight a small-scale battle with the Yan Army, right?"

Li Geer thought this was the case and nodded.

Klein then went on to say:

"But a small-scale engagement has already revealed intelligence about our military strength."

"If our army had a large force, why would we need to conduct a test? Would the Yan people not think of this?"

"And once they realize that our army is short of troops, will they prioritize attacking the Macedonian military factory, or will they shift their target to us?"

When these words were spoken, Li Geer was shocked and his face changed instantly.

"That's true." He moved his lips and said nervously.

Klein went on to say, "So it's not worth trying. We can't expose our forces at will. Not exposing our forces is the most effective deterrent to the Yan Army."

"They dare not attack the Macedonian military factory directly because they have concerns. And if they retreat, they dare not fight us casually because they have no idea how many troops we have."

After Klein finished his analysis, Riegl's mind suddenly became clear, and when he looked at Klein again, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Although Klein is at the same level as himself, he does think longer-term and is more thoughtful.

"I understand, Klein, so should we evacuate now?" Riegl finally chose to give all command to Klein.

Klein stroked his chin and said, "Yes, but we can't retreat too far. We still have to continue to deter the Yan Army."

"In addition, the Yan army already knows that our army has arrived here, so it is worth considering what they will do next."

At this point, he raised his head suddenly and said, "Let's retreat first. I'll talk to you on the way."

Then, he turned his head and said, "Be on guard to prevent the enemy from attacking!"

Then, the troops brought by the two began to retreat slowly, and the sentinels expanded the alert range further.

-

Outside Port Brulo.

After reaching a consensus with everyone, Dinggel, as the temporary commander-in-chief, led all the port troops and headed towards the Macedonian military factory.

Compared to marching at night, the army's speed was much faster during the sunny day, but even so, it would take at least ten hours for such a large force to reach the Macedonian Arsenal.

Last night's deployment had kept everyone awake all night, and they had to march quickly during the day, so after arriving at the destination, they would have to rest for a night. Therefore, Dinggel believed that if they wanted to start the battle, it would take at least a day and a night.

Now, while there is plenty of sunshine during the day and the temperature is rising, although the soldiers are a little tired, Dingle still urges them to use this time to travel as fast as possible.

As the sun rose higher and higher, it was after one o'clock in the afternoon.

Dingle received a new message.

"The enemy rushed to the Macedonian Military Factory first, and our army fell behind. Now it is stationed 10 kilometers away from the northwest corner of the Macedonian Military Factory."

The messenger cavalry sent by Klein back to Port Brulo encountered Dingle's army on the way back, and thus they brought the news.

"And when we left, General Klein was deploying the defense line." The cavalry captain said to Dingle in front of him.

After he finished speaking, the faces of all the officers darkened, and Lieutenant General Harbaugh's face was even uglier.

"The thing we were most worried about has happened. These damn Yan people acted too quickly. They actually targeted the Macedonian military factory so quickly. They just captured Foster Port last night. It's been less than a day..." Harbo said with a frown on his face.

"Sure enough, the Yan country's follow-up troops have caught up, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a quick move."

"I don't know how many troops there are." Lieutenant General Hopkins, who is of the same rank as Lieutenant General Harbaugh, followed up.

After the voice fell, Dinger said grimly:

"That depends on when they attack the Macedonian military factory."

"If they are attacking now, then they must have a lot of troops and dare to quickly seize the Macedonian military factory."

"If, on the other hand, they hesitate to attack immediately, it means they have concerns."

"This concern may be caused by their belief that the troops are not enough to capture the Macedonian military factory in a short period of time. It was also raised by Generals Klein and Riegl."

At this point, he turned his head and looked at the cavalry captain who came to report, and said, "Your commander made a correct judgment. Although the temporary change of plan to coordinate defense at the Macedonian military factory did not achieve results, it was right not to rashly engage in battle with the Yan Army. When we are unable to judge the enemy's strength, a rash attack will only weaken our combat effectiveness."

"Not moving troops will create an unknown threat to the Yan army, which will definitely make them afraid to act."

Hearing this, the cavalry captain said, "Yes, so the two generals discussed and asked us to retreat a distance, keep our troops still, and wait for more reinforcements to arrive."

"But now the Yan army knows that we have troops behind them. Based on this, General Klein said that they should send troops back to Port Foster to report the news. So General Klein ordered us to deploy defenses on the way back of the Yan army and intercept all enemies who go back to report the news."

"We will try our best to make this Yan Army heading to the Macedonian military factory an isolated force."

As soon as these words came out, Dinger's eyes lit up and he nodded involuntarily.

And that face, which had always had a stern expression, now clearly showed a hint of joy.

"very good."

"It was done very well. Every step was done correctly and it was in line with my plan."

"It seems that sending Generals Klein and Riegl first was the most correct decision we made this time!"

Ever since the day he learned that the Yan Army was attacking the Star Islands, Dingle has been in deep depression until today. In every battle he has experienced in these days, his side was in a huge passive position and suffered major blows again and again.

Although we have experienced such passive moments in the past when conquering the continent, it has never lasted as long as this time, and the blow we suffered has never been so severe.

But finally, at this moment, Dingle knew that he had finally climbed out of the passive quagmire.

The clarion call for an active attack was growing louder and louder in his heart.
