Chapter 171 Thinking Contest(2/2)
If the artillery is preset...
When they were about to cross the mountain, Gray Linte reined in his horse again.
"Send a telegram to Major General Isra and ask about the situation."
Although Gray Linte changed the direction of advance twice "unexpectedly" and went deep into the enemy's rear, it was impossible for the enemy troops besieging the city to stop them.
But again, if you despise your enemy, you will bury yourself.
Beep...beep...a voice that sounded in the hearts of the seven people came from the portable telegraph machine. Soon, Isla took the telegram:
The enemy troops are besieged on the west and south sides. They have not launched an attack today and it is not clear whether there is an ambush.
Looking at the 12 eyes looking at the marionette, Gray Linte thought for a moment, then controlled the marionette to speak:
"this is a good chance!"
"But we have few people and we must ensure that the enemy does not ambush."
"Do you think so?"
The safest way is to circle the city to the north and enter the city, but this will lose the advantage of surprise troops and the opportunity for the enemy to be overt and covert. By then, the cavalry besieged in the city will be wary of artillery, making it even more difficult to move.
Madison's military vision was not that good, but he was good at flattering others and observing people's actions.
As soon as he heard Gray Lint's statement, he knew that the young lieutenant colonel had already had the idea of a raid, and he just wanted to be relatively safe in the raid.
After considering the sentence for a moment, Madison said:
"I think we can fight, but it's best to send a telegram to the Major General to send troops to attack from the south at the same time."
The purpose of attacking from the south is to lure the enemies in the west to provide support to the south, and then they can follow them from the west. Moreover, if there is an ambush in the west, they can mislead the enemy into thinking that they are coming from the south.
Thereby removing the ambush.
Hearing this, "Graylint" just nodded without comment, but turned his attention to Dorigo.
Dorigo frowned visibly, feeling very embarrassed.
After struggling for several seconds, he gritted his teeth and said decisively:
"I also think it should be beaten."
After the other four officers nodded one by one and unanimously approved the attack, "Graylint" said:
"Okay, then I'll send a telegram to the Major General and ask him to launch an attack to the west."
"west?"
Although I still don’t know the specific division of the enemy’s forces, my side is clearly hiding in the dark. If Isla also comes here, wouldn’t it be directly exposed?
And Graylint’s idea is:
He didn't know that Fusac's enemy troops had ambushed men and horses on either side of the west or south, or rather on both sides.
The most superficial thinking is, of course, that the supporting cavalry and the attack direction in the city are on the same side. The deeper thinking is that the two sides are staggered. But Gray Linte is now standing on the third floor. First of all, he still believes that the enemy should not be underestimated.
, thinking that if they can't think of the second level, then it will most likely turn into a patience competition between their side and the enemy on the west side, and whoever moves first will die.
So is it possible that the enemy also thinks about the third level?
Of course it is possible, but if you delve deeper into the level of thinking at this time, it will be meaningless, because you can never be sure at what time the enemy's thinking is.
Therefore, Gray Lint’s idea is to break away from speculation at the thinking level and find his core advantages:
The enemy is bright and we are dark!
Then it would be best to directly cooperate with Isla to attack from both sides.
And from the enemy's perspective, he doesn't know which level of thinking he is on, so he is most likely to be on the second level. Of course, there is also a good chance that he is on the third level.
He didn't explain.
The six officers looked at me and I looked at you, and finally chose to obey the order and sent a request to Isla to attack from the west.
It's not that no one among them has thought about the problem of thinking traps, but from their point of view, the most suitable one for them is of course the second level of thinking, so they can't understand Grallint's eccentric approach.
