Chapter 487: Deployment of the Fortress Attack and Defense
"Want to hear the details."
Bai Lao looked at Lei Xiao's indifferent expression and said with curiosity on his face.
"We have just discussed that there are three key points in this battle."
Lei Xiao, who was standing on the other side of the giant sand table, had a sharp gaze and said loudly: "The first point is the issue of command."
"Currently, General Bai has recovered a lot from his injuries, and is enough to resume the role of commander-in-chief. Although the two lieutenants are no longer here, with General Burt and General Jubai on top, this problem has been completely solved."
At this point, Lei Xiao's dark eyes moved and fell on Ariel again, and continued: "The second point is the problem of low morale, but since Princess Ariel, as a member of the royal family, is willing to stand up, , fighting side by side with the soldiers of the fortress, this problem will surely be solved.”
"Your Excellency Ke Qing is right!"
I saw a middle-aged Leng Yan Commander next to Bai Lao, first cast a respectful look at Ariel, and then said excitedly: "It is a great honor for us to be able to advance and retreat together with Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”
Looking at the excited look of the middle-aged commander, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
At her own suggestion, when she and the two commanders of the Cold Flame Army got to know each other just now, Ariel introduced herself as a princess guest invited by the royal family.
In this way, it will undoubtedly be able to conceal his identity as a lord from another world to the greatest extent, and it also fits perfectly with his identity as a powerful member of the Lengyan royal family, which he revealed in front of the mysterious organization.
"It is conceivable that after this battle, both the Holy Night Kingdom and the strong men of the mysterious organization will undoubtedly shift their main focus to the Leng Yan Royal Family."
"And I can use this time to further secretly implement the plan to control the entire eastern region of Lengyan and rapidly expand my power."
"After all, we are very close to conquering Ariel now. With Ariel's assistance, it will be an easy task to make some wavering neutral city lords surrender."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao frowned slightly again.
Of course, the biggest problem in this is that it will undoubtedly arouse the vigilance of the three princes in the royal capital.
However, from receiving intelligence from the other party, analyzing the intelligence, further going to the border battlefield to confirm the intelligence, and then associating the identity of Kongqing Town and himself, and then reacting accordingly, I am afraid that his power is no longer what it used to be, and it is enough Confront the opponent head-on.
What's more, at this stage, the three opponents are still fighting against each other in the royal capital, which will greatly reduce this efficiency.
"Taking a step back, even if things develop to the worst case scenario and the three princes unite to get rid of Ariel first, I have ten thousand ways to make the other party start fighting again."
Lei Xiao's brows stretched again and he continued to think.
"All in all, the most important thing at this stage is to use this battle to greatly increase Ariel's reputation and lay a solid foundation for controlling the entire eastern region of Cold Flame."
"As you can imagine, under the leadership and encouragement of Ariel, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, the soldiers of the Leng Yan Army fought bravely and finally repelled the invading enemies several times their size, protected the Leng Yan Kingdom, and never again There’s no better publicity than that.”
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath and said solemnly in his heart: "Currently there are only 10,000 defenders in the mountain fortress. Facing the 80,000 Holy Night Army approaching the city, the pressure is still very huge."
"With the delay in arrival of reinforcements, every soldier here will lose one. We must repel the opponent at the minimum cost to ensure stability for a period of time in the future."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's eyes moved and refocused on Ariel's delicate cheeks. He nodded and said, "In terms of improving morale, Her Royal Highness the Princess needs to do more than just that."
< br>
Lei Xiao looked directly into Ariel's starry eyes and continued: "Before the battle, Her Royal Highness needs to personally stand on the general stage to encourage the soldiers."
"Don't worry, I will try my best to do my best."
Ariel nodded heavily, her fair face full of determination.
"Then please trouble Your Highness, Princess."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and his eyes fell on the old general in heavy white armor. He smiled and said, "Old General Bai, regarding these first two key matters, I wonder if there are any mistakes in what I said?"
"Your Excellency has a thoughtful mind, almost exactly the same as what I have in mind."
Mr. Bai first looked at each other with the two commanders of the Cold Flame Army, both showing expressions of approval, and then said: "However, I still have two points to add."
Bai Lao looked at Ariel and continued: "First, in addition to the mountain fortress, Her Royal Highness needs to go to two other fortresses to boost morale. The morale of the soldiers there is even lower."
"General Bai, just leave it all to me."
Ariel nodded again without hesitation, and said solemnly in her starry eyes: "These soldiers are fighting for the Kingdom of Lengyan, and as the Princess of Lengyan, I am naturally bound to do so."
"I would like to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess for her dedication."
Mr. Bai stroked Ariel's chest and saluted, and then said to the two kingdom generals beside Ariel: "Second, after the meeting, I will personally take General Bert and General Jubai deep into the military camp. Learn more about the entire legion."
"General Bai, please rest assured, the two of us will go all out."
Bert and Jubai took a step forward at the same time and said in unison.
"With the support and auxiliary command of the two kingdom generals, I am even more powerful than a tiger."
I saw Mr. Bai's wrinkled face full of confidence, and he nodded excitedly.
Immediately, Bai Lao looked at Lei Xiao again and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, regarding the most important third point, which is to use the enemy's tactics, please feel free to enlighten me."
Facing Lei Xiao, who has the loyalty of two fifth-level powerhouses, Bai Lao will naturally not show any signs of neglect.
"Old General Bai has given me the praise. I can't talk about giving him advice. I'm just expressing some humble opinions. If there are any shortcomings, please correct me in time."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly, picked up a slender baton, and pointed at five places on the giant sand table.
In order, there are the urn city of the mountain fortress, two small fortresses on the left and right hillsides, the huge depression directly in front of the mountain fortress, and the base camp of the Holy Night Army located among the mountains in the distance.
"First of all, regarding the role of the fortress Urn City, it is naturally the first step to take advantage of the situation. Let in the first batch of Holy Night Army who attempt to occupy this place, and then catch the turtle in the urn."
Lei Xiao placed his baton again on the barbican in the front half of the fortress, raised his eyebrows and said: "If my prediction is correct, the first batch of Holy Night Army troops to enter the fortress must be an elite royal army."< br>
"Your Excellency is right. Only by doing this can the situation in the fortress be stabilized as soon as possible."
Bai Lao nodded in agreement and affirmed: "And as long as we can quickly eat this elite army, it will undoubtedly be a blow to the Holy Night Army."
I saw Mr. Bai gently stroking his gray beard and saying with a confident smile: "For my soldiers, it is not difficult to close the door and beat the dog, and they will beat the enemy until they pee."
"In this way, the enemy is left with two elite legions and five miscellaneous legions."
Lei Xiao nodded with a smile and continued his analysis: "After the vanguard army is trapped, the opponent will definitely step up the attack on the mountain fortress without knowing the reason, trying to capture this place in one fell swoop while we are distracted by closing the door and beating the dogs. And rescue the trapped vanguard."
"In order to prevent reinforcements from our two fortresses on the mountainside, the enemy will separate at least two miscellaneous legions to guard the flanks of the large army."
After Lei Xiao said this, he pointed at the other two fortresses with his baton, and then said: "From this, the second step of taking advantage of the enemy is to keep the two small fortresses motionless at least in the early and middle stages of the battle. It mainly plays the role of containing the Holy Night Army and reducing the pressure on the mountain fortress.”
"A very reasonable arrangement. In the later stages of the battle, when the enemy's edge is gone and the morale of the army is unstable, and then the terrain is used to charge in one fell swoop, it will definitely give the Holy Night Army a heavy blow."
Bai Lao nodded thoughtfully and added.
"In other words, the main enemies facing the mountain fortress will be two elite legions and three miscellaneous legions."
The baton in Lei Xiao's hand moved and landed on the natural depression directly in front of the fortress. He nodded and said: "And this special depression will undoubtedly further divide the five legions."
"Your Excellency is right. According to the cautious nature of the Red Devil, he will definitely not deploy the legion in a very unfavorable terrain such as a depression."
Bai Lao looked at the depression on the sand table that was almost the size of a legion, nodded slightly and said: "If this is not what I expected, the Red Devils should divide the remaining five legions into three parts: the front army, the middle army and the rear guard. .”
"The third step in taking advantage of the enemy's tactics is naturally that our side is condescending and attacks the opponent's front army with all its strength."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and while carefully staring at the sand table in front of him, he continued: "Due to this depression, the opponent's front army will inevitably be separated from the central army and rear guard, so that they can concentrate their efforts to annihilate them first."
"But..."
Hearing Lei Xiao say this, a middle-aged commander suddenly showed a trace of hesitation on his face, and said: "The opponent's siege army must have assembled the most elite long-range strike forces and various defensive magic arrays. support.”
"Although our side is condescending and has the blessing of a large buffer magic circle and a fortress magic cannon, our firepower is still at a disadvantage. At best, we can only be evenly matched with the opponent."
The middle-aged commander sighed helplessly, shook his head and said: "It is obviously impossible to completely annihilate the opponent."
"Yes, the long-range strike force in the fortress only has one magician brigade and two archer brigade, while the second-level elite force has two squadrons each."
The wrinkles on Bai Lao's face seemed to be a little deeper, and he added: "In addition, the number of troops that can be accommodated by the front wall of the fortress is limited. At most, one heavy infantry brigade can be put down to resist arrows. And when the fortress wall reaches The depression in front can accommodate at least two legions of enemy soldiers.”
"This means that, excluding the defensive troops, the enemy's long-range strength will be at least between nine and twelve brigades, three or four times better than ours. Among them, those who can use powerful projectile magic There will never be a handful of elite magicians, let alone a large number of magic cannon troops.”
After finishing speaking, Bai Lao and the other two middle-aged commanders couldn't help but sigh softly, with helpless expressions on their faces.
"In other words, as long as the problem of insufficient firepower can be solved, right?"
The smile on Lei Xiao's face became stronger and he wrote lightly.
"Do you have any idea?"
Bai Lao and the other two middle-aged commanders' eyes lit up and they all looked over.
"General Bai, how many magic cannons are there in the fortress?"
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, signaling the three of them not to be anxious, and continued to smile.
"I have checked just now. There are only 20 magic cannons of each series, including 10 second-level ones and 10 first-level ones."
Bai Lao's old face was solemn as he replied: "Originally, there were 50 magic cannons in the warehouse as trump cards, but during the inspection just now, I discovered that they had been secretly emptied out by that guy Ogu."< br>
At this point, Bai Lao shook his head helplessly.
You know, due to the rarity of manufacturing materials, the cost of making magic cannons is extremely expensive.
A first-order magic cannon made of good material can easily reach a six-digit golden dragon price, while an ordinary second-order magic cannon can exceed seven figures.
Therefore, the loss of 50 magic cannons is undoubtedly an extremely huge loss.
"There is no need for the old general to feel sad."
Lei Xiao looked at the regretful look on Lao Bai's face and said in shock: "What if I personally can provide three hundred to four hundred second-order magic cannons?"
Lei Xiao clearly understood that through his upgrade this morning and his previous accumulation.
Even though two hundred second-order fire-based magic cannons have been deployed in the territory.
But he still has 440 second-order fire magic cannons, 75 second-order space magic cannons, and 6 third-order fire magic cannons on his body, so taking these out will naturally not be a problem.
"What?!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's understatement, not only Bai Lao and the two Cold Flame Army commanders, but also Ariel, Burt and Ju Bai, who had never gone to the territory, showed a look of disbelief. .
You know, such a huge amount can only be obtained by the royal family or a few top noble families who work hard!
"He is indeed a terrifying figure with the loyalty of two fifth-level powerhouses."
While Bai Lao stirred up huge waves in his heart, he was full of thoughts.
Fortunately, the indifferent young man in front of him was brought by Princess Ariel, otherwise this mountain fortress might have changed hands long ago.
Lei Xiao looked at the stunned expressions of everyone and added with a smile: "At the same time, I will provide a corresponding number of magic light crystals to power the magic cannon without taking up the existing magic power."
After hearing what Lei Xiao said, Bai Lao and other commanders' stunned expressions soon turned into uncontrollable surprise.
With such a heavy firepower cluster, the long-range output power of both the enemy and ourselves will undoubtedly be completely reversed!
And just as Your Excellency Ke Qing said just now, annihilating the two Holy Night Legions in front of the depression is naturally no longer a dream!
"The only thing we have to face next is the opponent's three legions."
Lei Xiao looked at the excited people in front of him, smiled faintly, and dropped the baton on the other side of the giant sand table, where the Holy Night Army's base camp was located. (End of chapter)
