"At this time, please stop making such jokes, okay!"
Xue Qipei was the first to jump up. He was determined to find trouble with Ella, but Ella's arrangement was so outrageous that he had no need to deliberately find trouble.
"Are you kidding?" Ella blinked, "I'm not kidding?"
"The area around the river is extremely vulnerable to enemy attacks! You gave this advice to the Sun King in the first place! Store all important supplies in the most vulnerable locations? Are you on the side of Aztlan or the Northern Alliance? From here?”
This was an extremely sharp verbal attack, but many people present laughed - Ella's order was so outrageous that even if it was said to be on the side of the Northern Alliance, it would be considered a joke. reached the point.
"Of course - this is just an external statement."
Ella suddenly changed the subject.
"What is actually stored in the camp is only a small amount of insignificant supplies. The empty warehouses will be replaced with fire-starting materials. But this matter can only be known by those of us. For anyone else who did not attend the meeting today , the camp can only contain important supplies, do you understand what I mean?"
Someone in the audience asked in a low voice: "You mean...a trap?"
"That's right. A trap. Our enemy will attack the strongholds along the river. This is a fact that we have already grasped. In this case, then set up a special place for him to plunder and wait for him to take the bait. This is much better than ours. It’s much easier to search for the enemy’s location on the plains.”
There are already Aztlan warriors gearing up underneath.
"So, should we set up a secret camp near the trap, and wait for the enemy to enter the trap before rushing out to surround the enemy?"
"No." Ella shook her head again, "Another conspicuous camp should be set up near the fake camp, which should contain real supplies. Such a camp should be set up in a place that is difficult to access, so that the defense will be relatively simple. However, the defense inside cannot be very tight."
Xue Qipei couldn't help but jumped up for the second time: "What the hell are you doing again! What's the use of setting a trap if you don't set an ambush!"
"Traps are used to catch stupid prey. But what we want to catch this time is not a prey, but an equally experienced hunter. Think about it for yourself, all the camps have left the shore, and the most important stronghold for holding supplies is instead Isn’t it suspicious that it’s still there?”
After a pause, Ella continued:
"Of course - when I said that real supplies should be packed in the second camp, it was just a way of saying it to the outside world. What is actually packed in the second camp can only be fire-starting materials. Not only must it be packed, but it must also be packed. There are more than in the first camp. As for why it is set up in a place that is difficult to access, it is not to make the camp easy to defend - but to make it more difficult for enemies who enter the camp to escape after it is on fire. "
Ella deliberately set up a trap to make Xue Qi Peipei's two objections come to nothing.
Tesosomok seized the opportunity and said: "Xueqi Peipei, you'd better listen quietly down below. Don't always be surprised."
Xue Qipei had no choice but to retreat in anger.
"These two traps are the most critical parts, so Tesosomok and I are personally responsible for it——"
Ella glanced at Xue Qipei, who was about to jump out again.
"Xue Qipei, you also select elite troops to assist us."
Xue Qipei took a breath, retreated, and stopped talking.
——It was impossible to get rid of Xue Qipei here. Instead of starting a pointless argument, just go with his wishes.
Of course, Ella knew that this arrangement alone would not satisfy Xue Qipei.
"In addition to the camp I am responsible for, there are five other camps. The relevant commanders are out!"
While the five Aztlan generals were walking out of the queue, Tesosomoc's followers spread an oversized map on the ground like a carpet.
"This map is still too vague. Based on your on-the-spot knowledge, please explain to me the water flow rate, river width and depth in this small area!"
Aztlan's generals were all stunned.
"This... a river is a river, how can there be so many details?"
"...There is no other way, so we can only give up making a fuss about the river and focus on the land."
Even so, Ella still couldn't see anything other than relative positions from the extremely abstract map drawn by the Aztlan people. Fortunately, she didn’t really want to capture Hestein, so she pointed at the map and talked boldly:
"Station in the fifth camp in the west! You are the main force this time. You are at the uppermost of these five camps. Although you are stationed far away from the river, you must prepare enough sandbags in advance. If a fire breaks out in the east, immediately Carry sandbags and rush to the river, use the sandbags to temporarily block the river, and set up formations along the river to be ready to capture the enemy's general!"
"Second and Third Battalions stationed upstream! Your mission is to dig more traps along the river upstream. Pay attention to secrecy, stay hidden during the day and go out at night, dig at night, and clean up the traces before dawn! Once you see the east When a fire breaks out, immediately run out of the camp and capture the enemy's scattered deserters. If the enemy is in groups, don't intercept them, let them pass, chase them from behind, and drive them towards the direction of the fifth battalion!"
"The first and second battalions stationed downstream! You must prepare fire in advance in the camp. Once you see a fire starting in the west, immediately set fire to the lower reaches of the river. More black smoke will create more momentum. The enemy escapes from the ambush. If you see a fire starting downstream, you will definitely not dare to flee in this direction. Although you won't encounter any enemies along the way, you will be indispensable when recording merit!"
After the distribution was completed, Ella glanced at everyone present: "How? Are there any objections?"
The Aztlan people were all a little dazed after hearing this. When Ella asked, they were still thinking about the relationship between these steps, but no one answered.
"Xue Qi Peipei." Ella called out again, "What do you think?"
"I have never seen such a battle arrangement." Xue Qipei said, "No objection, just let me see how you will make a fool of yourself!"
"That's fine if you don't have any objections." Ella smiled, "Then, the military discussion is over!"
After everyone dispersed, Ella breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Xue Qi Peipei didn't have any suspicion."
"I wouldn't be suspicious." Tesosomok lowered his voice and whispered, "Is the Lord God really planning to attack the Northern Alliance?"
"How could it be? It's just a deliberate attempt to give Hestein a loophole. Hestein will definitely lead an attack after discovering this stronghold by the river. In this way, we can contact him."
"Is this a flaw? This is a trap! Your plan is entirely to annihilate the incoming enemy!"
"If you don't arrange it like this, you can't avoid Xue Qipei's eyes and ears."
"Then you can't really annihilate the enemy just to avoid Xue Qipei, right?"
"No matter how good the trap is, as long as the enemy doesn't fall for it, it's just a decoration." Ella explained, "All the camps retreated, leaving only the most important one by the river. After Hestein heard the news, he We will definitely send people to investigate before attacking. What we have to do is to find and contact the other party's scouts."
