"No." Sauron greeted him, glanced at Richard, and solemnly said, "On the contrary, Your Excellency, Richard, we have won the battle."

Suddenly, Sauron said: "Not long ago, before dark, our troops successfully infiltrated the Sika Kingdom Alliance into the plains near Gotha, forming a circle of encirclement.

The people of the Sika Kingdom found that it was not good and wanted to break through. The light cavalry that had been prepared and the elite heavy cavalry immediately launched the charge, covering the opponent's defense line and fighting a beautiful annihilation battle.In the end, except for the few more than two hundred Sika soldiers who fled into the nearby forest, the rest were annihilated and half captured.

Now it can be said that the infiltration power of the Sika Kingdom has been basically cleared up, half of the remaining soldiers are wounded, and they can’t survive in the forest without medicine. They only need to clean up the second-line troops a few times and stay alert. What's wrong?"

"This is indeed a good thing." Richard listened and nodded, but his heart was a little puzzled: if it is really a happy event, then it is not necessary to call him in such a hurry?

"General Sauron, is there anything else besides this matter?" Richard asked out loud.

"Of course." Sauron seemed to give a definite answer. "Since the army infiltrated by the Kingdom of Sika has been resolved and the tunnel has been found, then we can really concentrate all our energy, manpower, and material resources to the West. The Kingdom of Cards is fighting a national war on the border."

"Come and see, Your Excellency Richard!" Sauron waved and signaled that Richard came to the sand table, picked up the wooden stick and quickly pointed, and quickly told the distribution of the two forces on the border.

After speaking, Sauron's eyes were a little bit hot: "I thought that when Richard Li came to the front line, the most important thing is to exercise the role of supervision, but looking at the performance of Lord Richard, he also has a strong ability in command and has Far beyond my acuity, the previous authentic discovery is an example.

Many of my people have said that your discovery of the authenticity of Richard Li is either lucky or with some means we do not know.I am a pragmatic person, I don’t want to explore the specifics, as long as I know that you have this ability and you are willing to play for the alliance.

In the next battle, I sincerely hope that you, Richard, will fully cooperate with me to formulate a complete battle plan to fight against the people of the Sika Kingdom, penetrate their border defenses, and teach them a lesson."

"Uh..." Richard Li hesitated, "General Sauron, you said it seriously, I think the tunnel is just fortunate, don't look at me high. I have no experience in commanding battles, and I might be able to help with the battle plan You, but..."

"No, but since Licha agreed, let's get started." Sauron said very simply.

Richard was shocked: "Now?"

"Of course it is now." Sauron said, "every second counts. We are preparing, and the people of the Sika Kingdom are also preparing. Whoever prepares first will have an advantage."

"Ok……"

The formulation of the battle plan was like this, and some of them began slightly beyond Richard's expectations.

The next time is the time when the battle plan is constantly improved and becomes more complicated.

Speaking of which, the battle plan is drawn to one point, that is, the processing of data, just like doing a calculation problem.

However, this question is very large, with thousands of variables, and many numbers cannot be completely determined, only one probability interval.

To give an example, half of the success of the battle lies in logistics.

So how to ensure good logistics is very important.

First, you have to know where each army is on the line of defense. In addition, you need to know what the army is missing. Then you need to know where the supplies can be obtained. Finally, you need to know how to transport the supplies to where they are needed.

This is not simply between two points, the straight line is the shortest.

From the material point to the army, there are mountains and water in the middle, and there may be robbers.

Then you have to consider whether to escort the soldiers, where the soldiers are sent, or let the nobles passing by the territory send private soldiers to assist, then you need an official order.

In addition to soldiers, capacity must also be considered.

After all, with the transportation means of this world, it is difficult to transport things to the required place at one time, or the things at one material point are simply not enough, and we have to go to other material points to transport.

So how to optimize the route is to be considered.

It’s just a kind of material, that’s pretty simple, but the army can’t ask for only one kind of material. The army needs weapons, food, clothes, medicines, various debris and many other things – so the difficulty of the problem increases exponentially. .

After the logistics are processed, there can be no mistake in the real battle.

It is necessary to clarify the position, number, morale, equipment, and combat effectiveness of each unit, and try to understand the data of the unit opposite.

The data on one's own side is relatively easy to obtain, while the one on the opposite side depends on scouts and spies.If you get it, you can't believe it completely. You need to verify it by multiple parties, and try to confirm that this is not fake data that the enemy deliberately disclosed.

There will be countless unknowns in the "combat plan calculation problem" finally obtained.

To launch an offensive under this premise, it is necessary to guess the various situations encountered and give a preliminary plan.

For example, the offense is extremely smooth. How to expand the results, or there may be traps, must resolutely retreat.

For example, if the offensive is frustrated, how to reverse the situation, whether to give up the offensive, or to mobilize the reserve force to top.

Another example is how the enemy first shot before attacking, how to defend and then fight back.

Problems, a lot of problems, are constantly thrown to be solved.

Admittedly, many things do not require the two military leaders, Richard and Sauron, to deal with it personally. For example, they do not need to calculate how many meals and medicines a group of people eat, and do not need to distinguish which are the real needs. What are the needs of the greedy military officers to lie, these will be verified and completed by the staff and civilian staff.

But even so, the two need to understand a lot of data, know what is important, what is secondary, what can be temporarily ignored, what must be satisfied.The preparation for battle cannot be perfect, and it is up to them to make a choice at this time.

For example, is a transportation team carrying iron ingots to repair weapons or medicine?

Both cavalry regiments want to compete for the vanguard position. Who will be the main attacker and who will make the preparations?

To sum up in one sentence, it is that the two of them should balance all kinds of things and try their best to get an optimal result.

This is undoubtedly very tiring, and the time is not short. Richard, under the warm invitation of Sauron, was busy for almost two days and two nights.

Just two days later, in the middle of the night, the battle preparations were basically ready, the battle plan was completed, and the battle order was communicated in place.

Accompanied by a general attack command from the command room, the national battle between the Soma Alliance and the Kingdom of Sika really kicked off.
