Chapter 413: Chapter 413
"Unfortunate events keep coming one after another."
Next to him, the commander of the Red side with a refined demeanor pondered for a bit and said:
"I think we should prepare to make a move."
The older commander nodded, thought for a moment:
"How is the situation west of the Chishui River?"
The Red side commander with a refined demeanor thought for a moment and opened his mouth to say:
"The defenders are the forces of Wang Jialie and Yuan Youcai."
"Weaker than the Sichuan Army, and their actions are not very active."
Many Blue Star netizens widened their eyes, while various Federation generals appeared to be unsurprised.
Because the dialogue between the two clearly matched the earlier released data package of the [Four Crossings of the Chishui River].
[Wang Jialie (Qian Army leader)]
[Character: Indecisive, addicted to opium, dissatisfied with reliance on the Central Army, yet bound to follow orders.]
[Military style: Passive defense, little collaboration.]
Doesn’t it correspond exactly to ’passive defense’ and ’little collaboration’?
Could this be the breakthrough point?!
Many Blue Star netizens couldn’t help but get excited as they watched, eager to try.
But shortly returned to continue watching the livestream.
Facing a situation that wouldn’t yield, the Red side decisively commanded the troops to cross the Chishui River to the west.
And this was the first crossing of the Chishui River.
However, after crossing the river, the enemy still pursued relentlessly.
The Red side arrived at the Zaxi region, but still couldn’t shake off the pursuing forces.
Furthermore, the Blue side summoned their large army, primarily consisting of Sichuan Army, Yunnan Army, Central Army.
Attempting to encircle the Red side forces gathered in the Zaxi region.
Seeing this encirclement, Blue Star netizens furrowed their brows.
Experiencing it personally with the troops, Shen Yan and Qu Guang also realized the trouble, this encirclement was too tight.
What should be done next?
Cross the Chishui River to the south for the second time?
In the real-time map, CG scenes emerged.
Within the command center.
At this moment, the Red side commanders were discussing the footage of heading west towards the Jinsha River.
Simultaneously, Mo Xiaomo was explaining in the livestream:
"According to the exchange in the CG, the current command of the Red side wants to advance west towards the line marked in red, the Jinsha River."
"But it’s similar to the situation at the Wu River."
"The Yunnan Army on this side has blocked the front of the Red side tightly, and Blue side forces from all sides are attacking."
"If they forcefully attack... the losses might be significant, right?"
Next to him, Celestial Secret nodded and said:
"Ultimately, it’s still a matter of troop strength."
"With only 30,000 soldiers, the Red side can’t gamble on anything."
"It’s just unclear where they should advance next."
The older commander from the Red side in the CG, after pacing several times, looked up at the map and issued new orders.
The Red 9th Corps feigned as the main force, and other units....cross the Chishui River to the east?!
Shen Yan looked at the real-time map with disbelief:
"Why cross to the east?!"
"Isn’t that too far?!"
Currently located in Zaxi here, if moving south.
They only need to defeat the enemy to the south, and the Chishui River is nearby.
But crossing to the east?!
Returning in the direction from which they came, from Tucheng, then back to Tucheng???
If talking about the first crossing.
Many people could understand and even grasp it, but after the command for this second crossing was issued.
Not only could the Blue Star people not understand.
Even some of the Red side generals in the game couldn’t understand.
Even in Yu Feng’s livestream.
The sounds from behind in the command room, later commanding the [Liaoshen Campaign], someone questioned this command via telegram.
This scene, completely stunned Blue Star netizens.
Even that later person couldn’t understand it?
Or is there a deeper meaning hidden in this step?
No wonder Blue Star netizens and various Federation generals, and even some Red side generals in the game questioned.
This command was too abrupt.
Moving south, west, or north can all be understood because a direction needs to be chosen.
But this sudden order to return east.
It’s like everything before was done in vain, starting over again.
Such an order would have already caused an uproar in any ordinary troop.
But fortunately, it’s the Red Army.
Facing such an abrupt command, even though there were doubts, all soldiers still faithfully executed it.
In the game, the Blue Star commanders, in the role of a small soldier, watching the real-time map.
Couldn’t understand why cross the Chishui River to the east? Wouldn’t this round trip mean going in circles?
Couldn’t understand, just couldn’t understand.
Helplessly, they could only follow the troops to see what changes would occur after crossing the Chishui River to the east.
During the first crossing of the Chishui River.
Many Blue Star commanders and even the Photon supercomputer had simulated or deduced such operations.
But when the command for this second crossing came down.
Even the Photon supercomputer couldn’t analyze why there was such a distant crossing of the Chishui River to the east.
Looking at various situations, it wasn’t the optimal choice.
The command of the Red side was inscrutable.
The Red 9th Corps disguised as the main force successfully deceived the enemy.
When the enemy gathered, ready to encircle, only to realize they’d been tricked as the Red 9th Corps swiftly fled, the main forces had already crossed the Chishui River for the second time.
And after crossing the Chishui River for the second time.
The Red side still hadn’t escaped the impending encirclement, with pursuing forces behind and Blue side mobilization, a new encirclement was soon forming.
From the map currently, the only possible escape from the predicament is advancing south.
Jumping out of the encirclement before enemy forces in the northwest close in.
But the problem arises.
To the south lies Loushan Pass, a natural barrier, and the term ’natural barrier’ isn’t just said lightly.
Now how dangerous is this natural barrier?
In the Polestar Official Website livestream, views from various streamers provided the answer.
The streamer’s view gazed at Loushan Pass.
Like a giant ax splitting the mountains, with nearly vertical cliffs on both sides, leaving just this narrow pass.
Many Blue Star netizens were seeing Loushan Pass for the first time.
But at this moment, thoughts of the phrase ’one man guards the pass, ten thousand can’t open’ from the frequent Huaxia series games emerged in their minds.
That’s what it means.
Such terrain for guarding a pass, isn’t it just who comes, who dies. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novèlfire.net
It’s simply an attacker’s nightmare.
And this time the attacker...is the Red Army.
