"What's going on? Are they evacuating on their own initiative?" Wang Haoze beside Jiang An whispered.
"It seems that they have noticed that Gu Lei is approaching here. In order to avoid being attacked, they decided to abandon the members of the secret society who went up the mountain and evacuated on their own." Jiang An mused.
"Is this a good opportunity? Should we take advantage of the situation and pursue it?" Wang Haoze whispered.
"Absolutely not." Jiang An shook his head and said, "Our advantage is not in the number of people or the firepower, but in the terrain of this mountain forest. Taking the initiative to pursue is tantamount to giving up our greatest advantage and using our shortcomings to compete with the enemy's strengths. You Do you think those combat vehicles of theirs are vegetarian?"
"Are you going to watch them leave?" Wang Haoze said unwillingly.
"Yes, letting them leave is the best choice." Jiang An nodded. "Achieving the predetermined strategic goal is victory. From this point of view, we have already won. Pursuing the victory will only increase casualties and turn a victory into a tragic victory."
"Well, you have a point." Wang Haoze shrugged, "I really hope that Gu Lei's people can bring us some good news."
Ten minutes later, Gu Lei came with his men and horses. Upon their arrival, the members of the secret society who were trapped in the woods were completely desperate and surrendered, handing over their weapons. Because they already know that there is no chance of winning, and the only options waiting for them are capture and death. They are all very practical. Why do they need to die in battle if they can be captured?
These dozens of people were put on nylon handcuffs and taken away. Gulei has arranged for interrogation experts to cross-examine them. Hope to get more information about the secret society from them.
Lin Rui walked up to Jiang An and high-fived him, "Well done."
"The other party is no worse than us." Jiang An frowned, "The final retreat was also arranged in a very orderly manner, leaving us no chance to pursue. It seems that there are real experts in their team."
"It's not surprising, Delia is a smart man, and his father gave him a very systematic and rigorous military education for the restoration plan of the Mavo dynasty. He is naturally not weak in this aspect." Lin Rui nodded.
Gu Lei walked over, his face a little heavy, "You have learned about the secret society's attack plan. They should be aware of it. The members of the secret society will land elsewhere."
"No matter what, we have delayed their entry into Mawo. From this point of view, we have a certain advantage." Jiang An said calmly.
"Yes, but we still underestimated Delia's seditiousness." Gulei sighed, "It is also the result of these warlords being so unpopular. Delia started an uprising in my hometown, and in just a few days Over the past week, we have won over several large surrounding tribes. With the remaining influence of the Mawo royal family, the number has quickly climbed to thousands."
"Where are the local warlords' troops? Are they just going to let Delia grow and develop?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Those warlords can't be counted on. They only occupy a place to collect taxes and don't care about anything else. Their control over the place is already weak, let alone allowing them to fight Delia. In order to preserve their strength, whenever they encounter Delia's people fled. Several big warlord leaders in the capital area were furious and shot several fleeing warlords one after another. But the situation has deteriorated and cannot be restored." Gulei said slowly. , "It is only a matter of time before Delia takes over the entire eastern province."
"Another point is that once his forces successfully occupy the eastern province, the positions of the wavering small warlords and local clan armed forces will also change. These people are just outsiders, and the Mawo authorities have no binding force on them. They only If you care about the interests of your family, you will easily become attached to Delia. This time, Delia's power will further expand." Lin Rui frowned.
"Yeah, it's a bit tricky this time." Gu Lei sighed.
"That's not all." Lin Rui shook his head, "The secret society not only wants to cooperate with Delia's military operations, I believe they will also assassinate you. This is the earliest information provided by White Gloves. You are the Mawo Dynasty You are the first heir, and you control a coalition force provided to you by neighboring countries. This is only superficial, in fact your hidden influence is even greater. You can influence the member states of the African Union."
"This result is not unexpected. I have encountered several attacks in the past two days." Gu Lei said calmly, "But if you want to kill me, the secret society must send some decent characters."
A few people were walking and talking. Lin Rui saw a few injured black mercenaries and whispered to Gu Lei, "Our mercenaries don't have regular training and don't have much combat experience. Although General An was handled properly this time, there was no Huge casualties, but if we really want to fight Delia, I¡¯m afraid the casualties will be huge.¡±
"So we must fight quickly." Gulei was silent for a while and said, "Once Delia breaks into the Southwest Province and stays there for a long time, it will be a very difficult and long-term war. At that time, What Mawo will have to pay for will be many lives."
"When do you think they will take action?" Lin Rui looked at him and asked.
"Not yet. They need the support of the Secret Society before they can act, but this process will not take long. Once the Secret Society is fully involved, they will soon sweep across the entire east. So I want you to go to the Central Province , be prepared to intercept their march to the southwest." Gu Lei called Lin Rui and others aside and spread out a map.
"Look at this map. We are at this location now. The main road to the southwest is at this location. This is the strategic location connecting the central province and the southwest province, Nalaner." Gulei pointed. A point on the map.
"What's so special about Nalan'er?" Lin Rui frowned.
"This is an important thoroughfare that connects the east and west and has a long history. It was an important town on the main trade route of Mawo a long time ago. By holding Nalan'er, we can block Delia's march to the southwest. So we have to try to hold this place." Gu Lei said. "No matter how powerful Delia's power is, it will have no effect if he can't pass through Nalaner."
"What's it like there?" Lin Rui frowned.
"It's a small town, and there's no danger to defend it." Gu Lei said slowly.
"Then why is it said to be a strategic location?" Jason asked strangely.
Gulei looked at Jason and said, "Because it controls the Red Water River, the main water source of the Southwest Province. This river is a tributary of the Congo River. There is a sluice in Nalaner City. Once the sluice is lowered, the red water can be blocked. The flow of the river has caused the rivers in the southwest province to dry up. The southwest is the most water-scarce area, so if you want to occupy the southwest province, you must occupy Nalaner."
"This means that they will capture this town at all costs." Lin Rui's face was a little heavy.
