Chapter 178: Cutting Off Supplies

"After multiple reinforcements, the Carlisle family's camp now has nearly 6,000 people."

"Although the camp is large, a significant portion of it is only protected by wooden fences."

"There are large vulnerabilities in the defense on the west and south sides, with about 100 meters of weak spots marked."

"The number of people on daily patrols is small, estimated between 200 and 300, and the patrol density is low, with only one patrol per hour."

"Although they have a large number of people, most are farmers with little combat ability or fighting spirit. If there are enough casualties, they are likely to collapse."

"The Carlisle family's elite forces, however, are worth noting. There are about 200 of them, all professionals with well-equipped weapons and armor."

"Let's discuss how we can attack them from the most efficient angle, minimizing our losses while achieving victory."

Matthew glanced at the map and decided to hold off on the idea of making a sand table for now.

Making something good could very well lead to it being taken away!

Just like how the Carlisle family is now eyeing the ruins in front of them.

After hearing Matthew's words, Angela was the first to speak:

"Launch a feint on the east side to draw their attention."

"Strike from the north, engaging their mobile forces."

"Abandon the poorly defended south and concentrate our elite troops for a surprise attack from the west."

"At the same time, increase the intensity of the attack on the east to fully distract them, allowing the elite force on the west to decapitate and divide them!"

Angela had a thorough understanding of the Carlisle family's camp layout, so her suggestions were concise and filled with confidence.

Beelzebub stayed silent, absorbing Angela's tactical plan.

He put himself in the defenders' shoes, matching up their troop numbers and combat power, and quickly furrowed his brows.

Old John nodded thoughtfully, stroking his scruffy beard before saying:

"We should launch the attack at dusk."

"That's when they'll be most exhausted from the day's work."

"And with the approaching Crimson Moon, they're bound to be less vigilant—it's when they'll least expect an attack."

Elio blinked thoughtfully. She found that warfare had similarities to hunting.

Play to your strengths and exploit the enemy's weaknesses.

Find their vulnerabilities and strike when they're unprepared.

She offered her own suggestion:

"We could use the fog as cover to provoke them, luring some of the enemy away from the camp."

"Then we can concentrate our forces and first eliminate the smaller group."

"Once they're taken care of, we can then focus on the camp itself."

Matthew was quite pleased with everyone's strategies.

Although they hadn't accounted for everything, their plans were distinct and had a high probability of success.

Without formal military training, just relying on experience and intuition, they had done quite well.

Matthew didn't endorse any one plan outright, instead encouraging everyone to discuss together:
