Chapter 1888: Trading Time for Space

"This Weapon Depot is only one hundred kilometers away from us; it can be said that it is not very far."

"Henry, you explain the intelligence regarding this Weapon Depot."

Henry stepped forward, pointed at the Weapon Depot, and said: "The geographical location of this Weapon Depot is not that important, according to the information we have scouted."

"They have approximately three thousand standing French troops stationed there, and since it is currently a special wartime period, this number is slightly higher."

"The geographical environment there belongs to a plain, with Grassland nearby and many wild beasts."

"According to our observations, it is very likely that the enemy has arranged numerous traps in the vicinity. Hmm, I remember that before the French arrived, there were many marshes there."

"I have found this intelligence now." Henry took out a map and posted it up: "This is the topographical map of the Weapon Depot."

The crowd looked up at that detailed topographical map and were slightly stunned.

That Henry could actually obtain such a detailed topographical map was simply outrageous.

From the topographical map to the key information on the French garrison, Henry had grasped it very comprehensively within these two months.

The crowd looked deeply at Henry.

In the past, they all thought the Wahala Tribe were just a bunch of guys who only knew brute force.

But looking at it now, they not only knew brute force, but were also bold and meticulous.

Nashadier looked at such detailed intelligence and smiled slightly.

During that time in the Wahala Tribe, he knew that the Wahala Tribe was a natural intelligence station.

Those people from other tribes they took in had all kinds of backgrounds and came from various tribes in the Egypt region; a lot of intelligence could be obtained from them.

At that time, Nashadier knew that the Wahala Tribe would absolutely be the most important intelligence agency in his future plans.

It seems now that Henry did not live up to his expectations.

Henry walked down amidst the burning gazes of the crowd; there was no extra expression on his face, as if what he had done was just a small matter.

Nashadier said: "Alright, since everyone already knows so much information, does anyone have a combat plan to offer?"

The crowd looked at the topographical map of the Weapon Depot and pondered for a moment.

Someone said: "Since it is on the Grassland, I believe the Cavalry possesses the best combat capability. The enemy only has three thousand men, and the troops we can commit to battle now already number ten thousand."

"The reserve army also has twenty thousand men; it is more than enough to attack this Weapon Depot."

"I think dispatching three thousand Cavalry to win a quick victory is the best Method."

Another said: "I don't think so. Although the area where the Weapon Depot is located is Grassland, Viscount Henry just reminded us that there are many marshes there. Our Cavalry is very likely to face hidden marsh traps set by the enemy."

"If we really launch an attack like this, I'm afraid we will lose three thousand Cavalry and War Horses by then."

"Such a loss is not something we can afford!"

"My suggestion is to advance steadily. Since it is on a plain, then use Cannon. We have harvested some Cannon from intercepting French supply teams these past few days; let's use them this time."

"Use Cannon to bombard from a distance to lure the snake out of its hole, and our troops will take the opportunity to tear them apart."

"Absolutely not!"

"What if the French troops don't fall for it? Moreover, they also know the range of our Cannon attacks; they will bring out more Cannon than we have."

After Nashadier heard them all finish stating their own viewpoints, he felt an inexplicable emotion. After this period of training, these troops who previously knew nothing about military operations could now discuss combat plans.

And they were not just talking nonsense; they had truly undergone serious analysis.

But Nashadier looked at Shawn, who had been silent and not speaking to the side, and said: "Shawn, do you have any suggestions?"

Shawn looked up at Nasha-

-dier, and smiled.

Nashadier signaled for him to speak his thoughts.

The crowd looked at Shawn, and the voices of those arguing gradually died down. They said: "General Shawn, why don't you state your opinion."

Shawn looked at the crowd and said: "I just heard you all say so much."

"Actually, from a single perspective, I don't think there is any problem with what you said."

"But everyone should remember that in this operation, what we need to do is not to defeat the French army, but to occupy this Weapon Depot. With a clear goal, that is, to bring back the supplies inside the Weapon Depot."

"We are one hundred kilometers away from this Weapon Depot, which is not far, but this is already beyond our sphere of influence. To attack directly, besides those French troops guarding it, we also need to face other French armies."

"Everyone should understand that the enemy has set up an Outpost forty-seven kilometers ahead of us, and there are more French Outposts further back."

"The existence of these Outposts is to protect the French Weapon Depot. Although its geographical location is not important, one cannot deny how important its strategic attribute is."

"It is impossible for us to attack the Weapon Depot without the enemy knowing."

"So my suggestion is to send out two units, taking advantage of the current shortage of French troops to tear them apart, making our true attack target feel safe."

"Only then will our troops have the opportunity to occupy the Weapon Depot. As for the traps and those situations General Henry mentioned, I think although they are important, they are not what we need to worry about most."

"Marshes can be found, wild beasts can be avoided; the only thing that needs attention should be how to lure the troops from these Outposts."

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Shawn looked at the sound of clapping coming from between Nashadier's hands and was slightly stunned.

Nashadier said: "Shawn, you are absolutely right. How to attack the Weapon Depot is not something to worry about at all. The most important thing is those Outpost troops; how we should contain the strength of these Outpost troops in order to attack the Weapon Depot."

"You just said to split into two routes, one to attack the Outposts and one to take the opportunity to attack the Weapon Depot; this idea is good."

"Henry, do you have the data on those Outposts?"

Henry took out a notebook and said indifferently: "Of course I collected it. These troops are so close to my sphere of influence; I absolutely cannot let their intelligence go."

Nashadier nodded, opened the notebook and looked through it; the data on the Outposts was also extremely detailed.

"Let me tell everyone, the three Outposts we need to face have a total force of six thousand men, and the Weapon Depot has three thousand men."

"No matter which of these Outposts we attack, the other two Outposts will quickly receive our attack information and they will provide rapid support."

"This is the difficult point of our action plan!"

Nashadier braced his hands and looked at the crowd, saying seriously: "The enemy can mobilize nine thousand troops, and the troops we can commit to battle are only ten thousand. We do not possess any advantage in numbers, and we are at a disadvantage in Weaponry and Equipment."

"Do you still have corresponding combat plans now?"

"You can say it."
