Half an hour before the red light began to flash, on polkrugh's wall, pike reached for the headphones and listened to Pierce's request to withdraw. Although he has guessed that the possibility of failure is very high, but now that he has confirmed the news, pike is still disappointed.
As crix and lockson conjectured, it's a 30000 man army after all!
If these 30000 people are lost, it will be very difficult for pike to fight against the coalition again! After all, once their big weapons arrive at noon the next day, pike wants to defend himself against the bombing of all kinds of big weapons with the help of the emergency wall built outside. It's just a fool's dream.
Of course, pike did not want to rely solely on the hasty construction of the wall, which can only block bullets, as the ultimate defense of the coalition.
Wolves are one of the smartest hunters. They are good at using tactics to surround and kill their prey.
As the leader of the mercenary group named Senlang, Pike's tactical ability can not be underestimated.
He sent 30000 people out at one go as troops for the sneak attack. There's another purpose besides trying to sneak.
If the sneak attack is successful, it will be better. When the time comes, the troops that go out to take care of them will really be the troops that take care of them. But if the raiding troops fail, it's a pity, but it doesn't matter.
Because pike still has a second hand, if he fails, these 30000 people will be regarded as abandoned children!
As Pierce said, these 30000 people are just bait. And it's clear that both crix and roxen have taken the bait.
After all, it's 30000 people. For them in their heyday, although it's painful to throw 30000 people out, it's also acceptable.
But now is not the time. With the mercenaries recruited recently, Pike's men are just over 60000. It's a big deal to take out almost half of our troops as bait.
It's big enough to make people think that this is the choice made by a madman!
And it turns out that pike is such a lunatic. This kind of person, to put it mildly, has his own personality and insight. If it sounds bad, this kind of person is completely paranoid.
If you really want to say that this kind of person in ancient times, there is still a template - Guo Jia!
At the beginning, the stratagem that he offered to attack Wuhuan was absolutely the stratagem that a madman came up with when he wrote back. After all, for Cao Cao, Wuhuan was an absolute stranger. No one in the Army knows the terrain there. If the operation fails, they will not even have a chance to retreat!
But Guo Jia still put forward that suggestion, the reason is very simple, because he is very confident of himself.
Similarly, pike is a similar person, and his subordinates are basically this virtue.
Just like the original Polat, he thought he was right, so he made a bet directly over pike. Because he believes that this operation will be successful.
In fact, he proved to be right. He made two countries for pike!
Unfortunately, he was shot in the head by the peacekeepers before he could enjoy the reward that pike had prepared for him.
As a person who promotes Polat, pique will never be worse than Polat in the degree of persistence. This time, pike made the decision himself, and he didn't tell anyone.
So, no one knows about this plan except pike himself. Because of this plan, if Pierce's action is successful, it naturally does not need to be implemented.
Moreover, if there are too many people who know about this plan, on the one hand, pierce, who is going to carry out the task, may stand still and be afraid of his hands and feet.
On the other hand, Pike's ruthlessness may cast a shadow on the rest of the members.
Now, after hearing Pierce's request to withdraw, pike hesitated a little and finally decided to carry out the next step.
"Don't retreat. Now I've sent someone around. You attack desperately, when the time comes to encircle the team, you can beat them unprepared! Hold on, now they're out! " Pike lied. This is the first time pike lied to pierce, a simple man, so pierce subconsciously believed.
So pierce went to wait, and this wait was half an hour.
Although the coalition barracks are at least seven kilometers away from polkru, the shouts of tens of thousands of people can still be heard. When the shouts in the barracks gradually dropped, pike naturally guessed that the war over there should have come to an end.
Sure enough, soon Pierce's question came from the walkie talkie.
The content is very simple, which is to question why it has been so long, but the so-called encircled reinforcements that Pike said before have not yet arrived.
"I'm sorry, brother. The task of sneak attack originally sent to you this time seems to have failed now." Pique's voice was a little trembling. Pierce and Polat, who had been killed in the war, were the two generals under pique. Polat is equivalent to Zhou Yu under sun CE, who is both civil and military.
Peirce is the equivalent of Sun Quan's Zhou Tai, fearless of death.
Although Pike's tone was understated when he talked to the man just now, in fact, his heart was very tangled.
Loyalty is a rarity in the mercenary world. After all, mercenaries are essentially a group of soldiers who don't want to be bound by military rules. In addition to those who are more loyal because their parents work in the mercenary corps and then they join.
The rest of those, want to find some loyal to their own people, really is not an easy thing!
Pierce and Polat are just such rare people, especially because they were promoted by pike, so they are loyal to pike.
If it wasn't for the fact that it was too important this time, and if it wasn't for the fear of sending someone else, there might be an accident, pike would never be willing to let pierce die.
It's like when he knows the defeat, Pierce's first thought is not how to save his life, but to save the 30000 people for pike as much as possible, so that in the future, when the coalition forces gather forces, it will not be so easy for pike to successfully defend the other party's attack.
Therefore, for such a loyal subordinate, if we can't find a more suitable person, I'm afraid that pike really won't choose pike as the bait this time.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Pique's words made pierce feel a little more guilty.
Yes, in his view, the failure of this mission is entirely due to his poor means of sneak attack. Pierce had thought of a lot of things during the period when he was first attacked and now the bullets have been emptied.
If he didn't send out the whole army as he is now, but dived in and left half of his troops outside to coordinate, even though he can't succeed in this sneak attack, he won't fail so thoroughly, will he?
But then, Pike's words, let him completely into the anger.
"I'm sorry, your task of sneaking attack failed, but the task of luring the enemy succeeded. Don't make any noise. Listen to me first Pike told pierce his plan in detail. The reason why he said not to make it public was because he knew it. Even though Pierce is loyal to himself, if he knows that he is a bait, I'm afraid his first reaction is to shout abuse.
Now is not the time to let pierce open his mouth to scold. Although Pierce is very reckless, he has a good grasp of the war situation. Pike needs a person at the scene as his own eyes to determine when is the best time to fire.
What's more, the so-called siege troops he sent out are actually cutting off their retreat. And for such a long time, they haven't responded because they haven't finished the task that pike assigned them.
Now we still need Peirce to delay. After telling Peirce the details, Peirce may give up the task because of anger.
But pike is willing to take the risk.
And sure enough, after listening to Pike's explanation, pierce didn't yell, but in the same way, he didn't cleverly procrastinate for pike.
Although he is loyal to pike, he is not a loyal man. He can't break Pike's plan, but he won't be so supportive.
After crix finally gave the order to wipe them out, Pierce said something about Pike's plan with a sneer. After enjoying the surprise of crix and others, Pierce said contentedly to the walkie talkie.
"Let's go."
As Pierce's voice reached Pike's ear through the walkie talkie, pike immediately gave the order.
At the same time, all kinds of large-scale weapons, which had already been pulled to the city wall, were shining red in the muzzle.
"Goodbye, brother." The corner of Pike's eye was a little bit wet, but his eyes were very firm at that time.
