Zither Emperor Chapter 597 Chapter 188 Plan for Flore Part 1_1

597: Chapter 188: Plan for Flore (Part 1)_1 597: Chapter 188: Plan for Flore (Part 1)_1 Oliveira nodded, saying, “So what do you plan to do?

You haven’t told me about your plans yet.”

Ye Yinzhu said, “Until the attack and defense battle of Spirit City ends, talking about those plans doesn’t have any effect.

We can only decide on our specific actions based on the situation at that time.”

Oliveira praised, “It seems you are no less proficient in military strategy than I am, well-versed in the art of adapting to circumstances.

What should we do now?

Now that the eastern front of the Empire is no longer threatened, should we return to Qin City and accelerate its construction?

Or should we go to other places to support the Empire and Landias in battle as much as possible?”

Through this battle, Oliveira truly experienced the formidable strength of Qin City.

Although he is an excellent mander, without these powerful forces in his hands, even the best mand would be futile.

The number of Qin City warriors is not large.

However, it was this quantity of a few thousand that became the root cause of the massive retreat of the Flore Empire’s half-million army.

The number does not determine strength.

Behemoth beasts, Grim Reaper Dragon Wolf Cavalry, Druid Unit, Elf Soldiers, and the powerful Dong Long Soldiers, any of these races could dominate on the continent, and integrating such a force, if manded properly, could even surpass the support of a hundred-thousand-large army.

In some cases, the role they play might even be much better than a hundred-thousand-large army.

After this battle, Oliveira’s confidence had been built by the powerful strength of Qin City, and even if Ye Yinzhu said they were going to the enormous battlefield in the south, he would not hesitate at all.

Ye Yinzhu squatted down, taking out a map from the Sumeru Divine Ring and spreading it flat on the ground.

He quickly located their position, emphasizing it by pointing at it twice.

“We are here now.

The first thing we need to do is flee,” said Ye Yinzhu, attracting the attention of Oliveira and Ye Hongyan with his first sentence.

“Flee?” Ye Hongyan frowned, for he also had some understanding of military strategy but did not understand Ye Yinzhu’s meaning.

Ye Yinzhu said seriously, “Although we have won the first major battle, we must not be placent.

By cutting off the Flore people’s food supply, we indeed created a huge effect, but it also exposed most of our strength in Qin City.

The people of Flore are clearly aware of our existence.

I can even imagine that their hatred for us at this moment exceeds their hatred for the Milanese.

After all, the direct and indirect losses we have caused them are too great.”

Oliveira and Ye Hongyan nodded simultaneously, and a rare smile appeared on both of their faces.

Since starting from destroying the enemy’s rear supply center, the Qin City contingent was like a poisonous snake hidden within Flore, and each attack gave the Flore people intense pain.

How could the people of Flore not hate them?

Ye Yinzhu continued, “Flore’s army retreated from the front line, and due to insufficient supplies, they are likely to have a large number of non-batant casualties during the retreat, which will further deepen our mutual hatred.

Unfortunately, the strength of the Milan Eastern Legion is simply insufficient; otherwise, if they had pursued Flore during this time, it would certainly have been a greater blow to the Flore people.

Now, Flore’s army has retreated within its borders and should conservatively have around 250,000 bat power left.

This is not something our few thousand people can shake.

After retreating within the country, they will resolve their supply issues in the shortest possible time.

With such intense hatred, the mander of Flore will certainly see us as a tumorous existence, and if you were him, what would you do?”

Oliveira smiled and said, “To launch another attack on the Empire, we must first solve this time bomb that could explode at any time.

I understand what you mean.

The Flore people will launch a series of actions targeting us to thoroughly resolve their rear issues.

At the same time, they will also recuperate during this period in preparation for another battle.”

Ye Yinzhu nodded, “This is the only choice for the people of Flore now.

Under the strong influence of hatred, I believe that as the mander of Flore, the enemy will spare no effort to deal with us, regardless of the cost to pletely annihilate us who remain within the Flore Empire.”

Ye Hongyan said, “So it seems like you’re suggesting retreating back to Qin City first to recuperate?

We have the Teleportation Magic Circle Formation, although there are thousands of us, we can still retreat from Flore within half a day.

No matter how strictly they cordon off and sweep up the area, it won’t hurt us.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled and said, “Hongyan, you are only half right.

Indeed, we have the Spatial Teleportation Formation as a backup, and we are not afraid of Flore’s army’s encirclement.

In the worst-case scenario, we can find an opportunity to escape.

But if we return to Qin City now, would you be content?

Although we have killed quite a number of the Blood Color Guard, has the hatred for our brothers been avenged?

No, it’s not enough, far from enough.

We need to continue to stay within Flore, letting the tumor continue to spread, being a truly fatal blow to the people of Flore.”

As he spoke, Ye Yinzhu’s eyes shone brightly, his right hand on the map, covering the whole territory of the Flore Empire.

pared to Oliveira, Ye Hongyan was a bit lacking in strategic tactics, but not in valor and boldness.

Upon hearing Ye Yinzhu, a fierce fighting spirit kindled in Ye Hongyan’s eyes, “Good, I knew you wouldn’t just let it go.

Tell me, what’s your plan?

The lesson taught to the people of Flore is far from enough, our retaliation must continue.”

Ye Yinzhu spoke coldly, “Indeed, our revenge has just begun.

They want a full sweeping attack, well then, we will give them guerrilla warfare.

How conspicuous is the target of hundreds of thousands of troops?

We only have a few thousands of people.

Let them e, I want to see on what grounds the mander of Flore will be able to surround us.”

Oliveira gave it a thought, then said, “Strategically, there is no problem with your plan.

Ye Yinzhu, I want to remind you though, while waging extended war in Flore can train our warriors, it will significantly decrease our impact on the continent’s overall situation.

Also, the thin camel is still bigger than the horse, the people of Flore still have over twenty thousand regular troops, and they may very well continue to recruit new soldiers.

Amongst all the nations embroiled in this chaotic continent-wide war, Flore is the one that simply cannot afford to lose.

Even if Landias were to lose, Landias and Popon could still defend their national boundaries, but Flore, sharing a prehensive border with us in Milan, let alone whether the Bo Pang Kingdom, which shares a border on their other side, would e to their aid or not, whether they would even make it on time is a whole other issue.

Thus, we must not underestimate Flore Empire’s determination towards this war.

Even if this severely depletes their national power, they will not give in easily.

I agree with continuing to fight, but our plan must be more meticulous, we can’t afford to provide our enemies with a chance to entangle us.”

Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly, he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Oliveira and Ye Hongyan, one brought him more refined and careful mand, the other provided powerful drive and fervent battle intent.

With their assistance, manding the Qin City Army seemed far easier.

“Big brother, I’ll be careful.

Before we left Qin City, I had an approximate plan, now is the time to discuss it.

According to my estimate, the Flore’s Army needs some time to rest and recuperate.

The heavy losses of the soldiers and the serious lack of supplies mean that they will need at least ten days after returning home before they can divert a part of their forces to deal with us.

With these ten days, we can also recuperate and restore our strength, adjust our condition, and make our own strategic deployments.”

Oliveira said, “If I were the mander of Flore, during this adjustment period, I would definitely send out a large number of scouts to find us.

As long as they grasp our exact location, once they start their move, they will deliver a thunderstrike that will destroy us in an instant.”

Ye Yinzhu revealed a slight smile, “If they could truly achieve all this, how could we stir up trouble within Flore’s borders?

Scouts?

Which military unit could make better scouts than our Horned Hawk Knights?

Let’s pete with them and see whose reconnaissance capability is stronger.”

This time, even Oliveira revealed a smile of understanding.

No matter how cautious he was, he never believed that any army on the continent could pete with the Horned Hawk Knight Group in terms of reconnaissance abilities.

Ye Hongyan asked, “What are our targets this time?

We can’t just wander aimlessly in Flore.

If we don’t hit them hard, how can we contain the people of Flore?”

“Of course we must strike.

We’ll go wherever the people of Flore least expect us to.

I’ve already determined our target, that is….” At this point, Ye Yinzhu paused, the finger on the map moved slightly, pointing to a location.

“A city?” Oliveira and Ye Hongyan almost simultaneously voiced their astonishment.

Ye Yinzhu smiled slightly, he said, “Even you two, who know me well, couldn’t predict that, let alone the people of Flore.

That’s exactly the effect I want.

Cities are the hubs of a country, the nucleus, and also the signs of a country’s prosperity.

Right now, we are not soldiers or armies, we are robbers.

The cities of Flore are our targets.

Can the people of Flore disregard their own cities?”

This time, Ye Hongyan’s reaction was the opposite of Oliveira’s, it was as if the two had switched places.

Ye Hongyan said with some concern, “Yinzhu, cities are easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it’s very easy for us to sustain losses during a siege.

Once we are delayed until Flore’s Army arrives, it will be very detrimental to us.

Even if we break into the cities, if we are surrounded by the enemy, with only a few thousand people, holding the city is unrealistic.” (To be continued.
