Chapter 163: Ming Jin retreats (please subscribe, please vote)
Lin Yi carefully counted the number of people who spoke and found that the casualties of the contractors were not as serious as he feared.
In the early stages of the launch of war magic, except for a few unfortunate contractors who were directly hit by fireballs, most of them showed excellent survivability after surviving the violent and dangerous first round of attacks.
They sought and hid behind various bunkers, some hiding behind boulders, some hiding among ruins, and some jumping into trenches to avoid the ensuing rain of fire.
These bunkers provide them with protection to a certain extent, effectively reducing the direct impact and damage caused by war magic.
At this moment, the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops came from the depths of the canyon.
The sonorous and powerful voice echoed over the battlefield, penetrated the intertwined firelight and smoke, and was conveyed to every soldier clearly and loudly.
Tuk Byrne knew the devastating power of war magic.
He understood that under such a powerful magical attack, even if some soldiers were lucky enough to survive the rain of fire, their overall combat effectiveness had been seriously affected.
The soldiers were exhausted at this moment, their morale was at an unprecedented low, and many were seriously injured and in urgent need of treatment and recuperation.
Faced with this reality, Tuke Burn decisively decided to retreat.
He knew that continuing to attack under such circumstances would not only be difficult to achieve the expected results, but might also put the soldiers' lives in greater danger.
Retreat, for Tuk Burn and his army, was not a symbol of defeat, but a strategic choice to counterattack more effectively in future battles.
As the troop withdrawal horn sounded, the soldiers, under the orderly command of the commander, evacuated the battlefield in an orderly manner like a tide.
When the firelight and smoke on the battlefield gradually dissipated, a devastated scene appeared before everyone's eyes.
The land that had been ravaged by war magic was scorched and destroyed everywhere, as if to tell the tragedy of this battle.
As a strategic-level means, war magic is extremely expensive to use and consumes huge resources.
Tuke Burn judged that the other party would never be able to perform such magic again in a short time.
This period of blank power is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime offensive opportunity for Tuk Byrne.
Under the tight cover of the heavy shield soldiers, Lin Yi and other soldiers safely returned to the military formation.
Before launching the attack, Lin Yi was just an unknown third-class soldier in the army, and his existence did not attract special attention.
However, his performance on the battlefield made Lin Yi the focus of the army in a short period of time.
Many officers came forward one after another and expressed their heartfelt gratitude and respect to Lin Yi.
Without Lin Yi's help at the critical moment, not only would the soldiers under their command suffer greater losses, but they themselves might not be able to return to the military camp unharmed.
"Captain Lin Yi, summoned by Commander Tuke Burne." The messenger's voice sounded outside the camp.
Lin Yi responded, turned around and clasped his fists at the surrounding officers: "Everyone, I'm going to the legion commander first. After this matter is over, I'll treat you all to a drink later."
"It's easy to talk, Squadron Leader Lin Yi, you go first, the legion commander's side is more important." The surrounding officers responded one after another, with smiles of deep respect on their faces.
Under the guidance of the messenger, Lin Yi came to the camp where Tuke Burn was located.
The soldier guarding the door glanced at Lin Yi but did not stop him. It was obvious that Tuk Byrne had already given the order.
Lin Yi opened the curtain of the tent and walked in. As soon as he entered the camp, his eyes were attracted by a huge sand table. The sand table clearly shows the terrain of the entire Middle East Grand Canyon, including mountains, rivers, and canyons.
There are also various chess pieces placed on the sand table, obviously used to represent different legions and forces.
"Doctor, long time no see." Mad Nai greeted Lin Yi.
As a key member of the God-Emperor's adventure group, he is also qualified to follow the God-Emperor into the core level of the camp.
However, before they could further reminisce about old times, a chief of staff hurriedly interrupted them: "Guys, let's talk about old times later."
At this time, Tuk Byrne finally raised his head, and his eyes fell on Lin Yi.
There was a hint of appreciation in the legion commander's eyes: "Not bad, well done."
Tuk Byrne was obviously very satisfied with Lin Yi's performance on the battlefield.
This time, he only dispatched the Vanguard Corps and successfully forced the Holy Dragon Legion to use their trump card.
This move also tilted the balance of victory towards their side.
Although Tuke Byrne was confident in the morale and combat effectiveness of the army, he also knew that arrogant soldiers would inevitably lose.
Therefore, he did not relax his vigilance, but instead prepared for the next battle more carefully.
In order to brainstorm, he specially summoned officers who had performed well on the battlefield, hoping to draw more suggestions and strategies from their experience and wisdom.
One person is short in skills, and two people are strong in skills.
He hopes to use collective wisdom to find the best battle plan and minimize the casualties of soldiers.
"I suggest that you reorganize your military situation immediately. Before the opponent can react at this moment, attack with all your strength and defeat the opponent with all your strength." A chief of staff came to Tuc Burn and began to introduce on the sand table. own thoughts.
This suggestion immediately resonated with the surrounding staff, and many people agreed.
They analyzed that the Holy Dragon Kingdom was in a period of great chaos at the moment. The magical attack in the last war not only caused major damage to the Lion Legion, but also dealt a huge blow to the Holy Dragon Kingdom's own army.
More importantly, the war magic released by Crow Felin was mainly aimed at the soldiers who attacked the foot of the fortress, and most of the magic attacks were actually blocked by the fortress of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
This also caused extensive damage to the fortress of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
The staff believes that now is an excellent opportunity to attack, and this attack will definitely be easier than the last time.
Tuk Byrne listened to everyone's discussion and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
He knew that this suggestion did have its feasibility, but it also needed to be considered carefully.
After all, war is not a child's play, and one wrong move can lead to the whole game being lost.
"It sounds simple, but the actual situation is far more complicated than you think. This time it is not just the Holy Dragon Kingdom that needs to be reorganized. Our soldiers also need time to reorganize and recover after experiencing such a tragic battle. "A general who had just returned from the battlefield said in a deep voice.
He interrupted the chief of staff's proposal and continued: "You have not personally experienced the battle in the Grand Canyon in the Middle East, and you cannot imagine the brutality there. It was a complete meat grinder, and countless soldiers lost their lives there. And , War magic has also dealt a huge blow to our morale. If we launch an attack at this time, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will be greatly reduced, which is almost the same as dying."
