One Piece: I Am the Revolutionary Army
Chapter 49 It’s Over
At a time when Sengoku was deeply resistant to the strategy of dividing the troops and even intended to recall subordinates such as Kizaru, information from the Five Elder Stars came one after another.
The Kingdom of Lubni was suffering from a massive attack by the revolutionary army and the situation was critical, so he was ordered to send troops to rescue immediately.
When it comes to Frevans, the Five Elders are concerned about face and interests. After all, the World Government’s actions back then were indeed inappropriate.
However, the Kingdom of Lubni has real interests - the last time Roya left, he took away tens of thousands of workers, causing a sharp drop in production in the Coal and Iron City. The World Government urgently transferred thousands of slaves from other places to fill the gap.
The number of slaves was huge and their value was high, so they definitely didn't want to let Roya take away a large number of laborers easily again.
"These idiots, don't they know the situation on the front line?" Sengoku recorded his own analysis and battle situation and sent it back to the Navy Headquarters.
Soon, the Five Elders issued another order: "Frevans must be destroyed, the revolutionary army must be eliminated, and the Kingdom of Lubni must not be lost."
When the order was delivered, Zhan Guo understood that even if the Five Elders asked for both to be taken into account, the status of the Kingdom of Lubuni was obviously more important. He did not divide his troops again after all. After all, the lessons of Dougman and others were still fresh in his mind. In the short term, Zhan Guo was unwilling to take the risk of dividing his troops again.
Intelligence shows that the Revolutionary Army's strength far exceeds expectations, with a significant increase in the number of its warships and combat effectiveness, especially with the addition of Dragon and Ivankov. The growth rate of this small organization amazes Sengoku.
Zhan Guo's decision made everyone at the Naval Headquarters secretly regretful.
Roya, this extraordinary opponent, is already difficult enough, and the Five Elders seem to be a burden. Rayleigh couldn't help but say, "From our point of view, Roya is too scary. He has calculated Zhan Guo to death. I wonder if he has a huge screen in his head that can directly observe Zhan Guo's actions."
Every action of Zhan Guo seemed to be within Roya's expectations.
For example, due to the division of troops, the fear after the division, and then the attack on the Kingdom of Lubni, the naval fleet that was originally close to Frevans had to quickly return to Lubni.
The concept of mobile warfare advocated by Roya showed its power by mobilizing the enemy forces, turning disadvantages into local advantages and conducting counter-encirclement.
Everyone agreed that the wisdom and command ability of the Warring States period were unmatched in the world.
As Admiral of the Navy, he planned the end of the legendary pirate era and was the core of the navy.
Not even the naval hero Garp could compare to his contribution to the navy.
Before meeting Roya, Zhan Guo had never been defeated. However, facing Roya, this gap was exposed.
Since entering the North Sea, Zhan Guo has been pressed by Roya step by step, and every step seems to be calculated by Roya. Although he has an absolute advantage, he has not been able to touch the foundation of the Revolutionary Army so far, and has suffered heavy losses.
It is hard for people to imagine how strong Roja is.
Golden Lion exclaimed: "Guerrilla warfare is really brilliant. When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we pursue; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack. It is wonderful." At first, they thought Luo Ya's statement was too simple, but only after actual combat did they realize its subtlety.
Vegapunk pointed out: "Without advanced warships and technology, such mobility advantages will be difficult to play out, so technological progress is the key." Ryuya was impressed by Roya's open-minded thinking, plus the shipbuilders of the Seven Water Islands and the scientists of Balkimoa. Their accumulation is not just based on the strength of the navy, but a deeper layout.
Every time I look back, every move of Zhan Guo, even if it seems insignificant at the time, later I find that it has already laid the groundwork. This is why although Roya's revolutionary army is developing rapidly, he does not feel impetuous. He is like a brilliant architect who has already planned the development blueprint of the revolutionary army.
After Sengoku gave the order, Kizaru immediately turned back, attracting the attention of Akainu and Ryu. "Are they concentrating their forces to go to the Kingdom of Lubuni?" Ryu guessed. "Since the support troops were destroyed by us, Sengoku should not send any more troops." Aokiji said meaningfully, "Now, the navy is being led by the nose by us."
According to Roya's tactics, they did take the initiative in the war, which was something they could not imagine before the war. "Need I say more? Of course I will continue to harass them." Long smiled. Facing Zhan Guo, he was particularly motivated. After all, Zhan Guo was his father's comrade-in-arms.
Sengoku recalled Kizaru and others to ensure their safety, but he overlooked a serious problem: their whereabouts had been discovered by the Revolutionary Army. So, when the navy was about to arrive at the Kingdom of Lubuni, Roya had arranged for Mori and others to evacuate. When the navy arrived, they saw only an empty sea.
"This is what we call the attack on Lubni." Roya laughed at the command center in Frevans. "There are ways to fight with divided troops and ways to fight without divided troops. The essence of mobile warfare is to use our forces to constantly mobilize the enemy and make them move to the battlefield we set."
"To do this, we must have an accurate grasp of the situation, sufficient intelligence sources, and a deep understanding of the enemy." He said, "The importance of the Kingdom of Lubni to the World Government is self-evident. Even if the navy is unwilling to rescue, as long as we create momentum, they will have to intervene."
"If he doesn't split his forces, we will continue to contain him. Anyway, we have fewer troops and less pressure on supply, while they have more supplies. Moreover, if an elite force stays in the North Sea for a long time, the cost will be huge."
The next day, they received another request for help, but just like last time, they still had no sign of the Revolutionary Army. After receiving the urging of the Five Elders, Sengoku was cautious and left Akainu and a lieutenant general from the headquarters to assist the Lubni Kingdom in its defense, as he still had doubts.
The revolutionary army of Lubni evacuated quickly. According to the report of the garrison, their strength was quite strong. Zhan Guo judged that their strength might not be so exaggerated. The attack on Lubni was just to contain the main force. The real target might be the branch base.
However, not long after they left, the Kingdom of Lubni was nearly lost. Revolutionary Army cadres Mari, Nagli, Ivankov, Koshiro and a large number of warships almost occupied the entire city. In the fierce battle, one lieutenant general of the headquarters was slightly injured, another was seriously injured, and several major generals were captured. Lubni suffered heavy losses and almost all of its warships sank.
The Revolutionary Army disappeared again, and Sengoku couldn't help cursing, "These cunning bastards." After many days of fighting, he only got close to Ryu and Fujitora the first time. In the following times, he, a general, was like a stray dog, and he still failed to catch them.
"Haha, Dragon." Even though Sengoku was slow, he realized that it was Roya and Long's plan. While harassing, they always kept track of the navy's position, which was why the Revolutionary Army could always evacuate at the critical moment.
In fact, Zhan Guo no longer wanted to go to Frevans. He wanted to return to the headquarters and lead his men to chase the legendary pirates instead of enduring such humiliation. However, the urging of the Five Elders forced him to set off again.
This time, he only left a lieutenant general from the headquarters. After receiving Lubni's request for help, Sengoku reluctantly agreed. "Is it the main force of the Revolutionary Army?" he said coldly. "Absolutely, more than 20 warships, led by Mori, requesting support." Den Den Mushi responded in panic.
After hanging up the phone, Sengoku immediately mobilized reinforcements from the branch bases that were not attacked. At the same time, he summoned Kizaru and Akainu, gave them five large warships, fifteen small warships, ten thousand elite soldiers and two vice admirals of the headquarters, and asked them to deal with Ryu and Fujitora to prevent them from interfering with the main fleet.
This is half of the combat power, and the target is Roja and Fujitora. With such a strong force, even if the main force of the Revolutionary Army is not there, it will be difficult to resist this pursuit force. "Revolutionary Army, hum." Sengoku sneered, he was already full of anger.
This time, he wanted to unite the soldiers of the branch to form an encirclement. If the revolutionary army was rampant again, he was confident that he could annihilate it in one fell swoop. A day later, the troops sent by the Warring States arrived at Lubni smoothly. The revolutionary army did not escape and was captured almost without resistance.
Zhan Guo returned to Lubni, and unexpectedly, after interrogating the prisoners, he was shocked. "Are you all soldiers from the branch base? These warships too?" He asked loudly, the news was really shocking.
After questioning several crew members, Zhan Guo finally accepted the fact. From a distance, these warships looked normal, but when you look closely, you find that they are camouflaged and look like naval warships. "It's over." Zhan Guo staggered.
The Revolutionary Army used more than 20 captured warships and soldiers from the branch base as disguises to deceive his main force, so the real position of the Revolutionary Army's main force is self-evident. However, he didn't understand how the Revolutionary Army used these prisoners and warships to create momentum? What about Mori?
At this time, deep underground in the port city, Mori and hundreds of elite revolutionary soldiers were hiding. Although they had left Lubni, they could move at any time using the underground tunnels dug by Mori. A soldier said excitedly: "Lord Mori, Roya's plan was successful, we won."
"It's too early to talk about victory now. We need to see the results of the battle with Mr. Yixiao and his team." Mori tried to keep everyone calm, but he couldn't hide his joy. On the other side, Kizaru and Akainu sailed two days with Lubni and found that Ryu and Fujitora, who had been following them, no longer ran away, but rushed towards them, which was very abnormal.
Yellow Monkey frowned, feeling uneasy. The next moment, the soldiers on the warship reported in horror: "There are a large number of warships surrounding us on the left and right, Vice Admiral Borsalino, about thirty warships." "What a trouble." Yellow Monkey looked solemn, feeling the approaching powerful force.
