Bank thought Arthur could predict the results of the exercise, but it was just his personal idolatry.
Arthur didn''t expect the operation of Bree and others.
……
When Hami led the Red Army to the road sign stone tower and saw the dense and messy horseshoe prints on the ground, he suddenly had a bad hunch in his heart.
"Hammy, these horseshoe prints are definitely not left by the caravan, and the blues may be ahead of us!" said Pinker, the captain of the third team.
Pippen, the captain of the fourth team, pulled the reins and looked around for a circle before he said to the two: "look at these horse prints. It must be left by the blues, and their people are no less than us, at least quite."
At this time, the scouts in charge of guarding in the North suddenly returned and reported to the three that they found a large number of horseshoe prints going west on the grass in the north.
Hearing the Scout''s report, the three were stunned. They came from the West. They didn''t find the shadow of the blues all the way.
Captain Pinker said, "we can''t just pass by those guys? It''s a failure. Neither side found their enemy."
"We didn''t find them, they probably found us!" Pippen looked at captain Hami with a dignified face. "Those guys obviously took a step ahead of us, but they didn''t go to guard the camp, but went to the West. They either planned to attack us, but they gave up when they saw the same number of people on both sides, or they went to our grain delivery team!"
"What!" cried Pinker at once. "What are you waiting for? Come back at once! If we don''t have the grain team, we won''t all starve!"
"Can''t go back!" hammy interrupted Pinker, who was ready to call the soldiers.
"If it''s to confirm our whereabouts, just send two scouts. The horse prints on the ground are obviously deliberately left by the blue army. The purpose is to let us return to the rescue grain team immediately after we see them. But now, we can''t save the grain team, and we may fall into the ambush of the blue army!"
"Even if they don''t want to fight with us, we can only return to the camp without food. But they can spend more than ten days safely with our food."
Pinker changed his face when he heard the speech. To withdraw from the camp is to admit defeat directly. How can this work!
He immediately suggested, "why don''t we rob their grain team, too? If they can get here so quickly, they must not have much food with them. Everyone has no grain team, so we''ll be even!"
"That''s a good idea." Pippen nodded. "Since the blue army has destroyed our grain team, we can''t make them feel better. Didn''t Lord Arthur say: feed the war with war and try to get food and grass from the enemy."
Hammy frowned and shook his head cautiously. "No, this method is too risky. Since they can think of using this method, they will prevent us from retaliating in the same way. Maybe before we find each other''s grain team, the food we brought with us will be eaten up first, and then we can only surrender."
"What about that? You can''t surrender now. It''s too fast," Pinker complained.
"Throw a fart!" Pippen scolded. "It''s a big deal. Let''s turn to guerrilla warfare, hunt and replenish food while looking for the grain delivery team of the blue army. I don''t believe they don''t go to camp 7! Anyway, Lord Arthur didn''t set the exercise time. We''ll ambush around the camp and wait for them sooner or later. I won''t surrender unless we starve to death!"
Finish saying, stem the neck, look at Hami.
Looking at them, hammy thought for a moment and said calmly, "I''d better surrender directly."
……
Camp 7 was originally the farm of the rebel farar family.
After Arthur''s crusade against Nick farar, most of the houses in the farm were demolished, the walls were raised and reinforced, and a new watchtower was built on the rear hill, which was gradually transformed into today''s camp 7.
In addition, all the remaining wood and stones were transported to an open space west of the camp, closer to Lord Avenue, for the construction of a large hotel.
Early that morning, a horn sounded from the watchtower on the hill. The soldiers on duty also waved a yellow flag at the military camp below - it was a warning signal. He saw a large group of people coming from the west of the camp.
After a moment, the men and horses stood outside the camp gate.
"We are the Red Army, we surrender!" hammy shouted, holding the horse.
While shouting, he raised his arm and waved at the soldiers on the arrow towers on both sides, looking weak.
Surrender?
All the camp soldiers who heard him were stunned and looked like they had heard wrong - why did they surrender less than five days after the exercise began?
"Why did you surrender? Why should I trust you?" a soldier stroked a sharpened log behind the fence.
Hammy raised his neck and explained, "we wanted to attack quickly, but the plan failed. The blue army robbed our grain team directly. We had no way. We only took food with us for two days and couldn''t find their grain team, so we had to surrender!"
Hami''s voice was dry and dumb. He said and swallowed his saliva hard.
"We haven''t eaten for nearly two days. Now we have surrendered. Can you give us some food and water immediately!"
Looking at the tired Hami and others, the soldier thought and said, "OK, you wait!"
Soon, the heavy iron gate was pushed open. Hami and others walked into the camp with white flags and horses.
……
Arthur arrived at Camp 7 one day earlier than Hami and others.
Since the command of the exercise was issued, he took more than 20 castle guards all the way south. On the way, he also had a night''s rest in camp 5 and two hotels. He was not in a hurry or slow way.
This time I left the castle, first, to observe the exercise closely, second, to check the construction of hotels and several camps, and third, to take Leia for a breath of fresh air.
For this exercise, he had expected that it would take at least half a month or a month to decide the outcome, but what he did not expect was that in five days, less than five days later, the exercise had already had a result - the red army won!
At the moment, looking at the depressed Bree people standing in front of him, he didn''t know what to say.
Tactically speaking, the blue army''s surprise attack to cut off the logistics support of the Red Army is undoubtedly very correct.
As the passive defense side, if they really come to the camp to defend, it is undoubtedly the worst choice, because even if they can defend the camp, the Red Army can besiege them in the camp as long as they cut off the blue army''s logistical support.
Unfortunately, they were defeated by a false surrender of the Red Army.
Even Hami and others did not expect that victory would come so easily.
According to their assumption, even if they surrender, the defenders in the camp will not let them into the camp out of caution before waiting for the blue army. And their plan is just to lie down, camp outside the camp, cheat food and drink, and wait for the blue army''s grain team.
The guards in the camp did not expect that Hami and others would cheat to surrender.
"Lord Arthur, we are not satisfied!" looking at the camp garrison on one side, Gru said wrongly, "these guys are not taken seriously at all. If they are real enemies, how can they let them into the camp..."
