Chapter 1116 Thanks to the Universal Interface
The first is to attack the enemy with troops, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the second is to attack the city.
Sun Tzu's Art of War, Planning for Attack.
Directly using force is the stupidest behavior. No matter how capable a warrior is, there will definitely be damage and material losses in a battle.
The best strategy is to subdue the enemy's troops without fighting.
This tactical thought was deeply rooted in Viola's mind. Ever since she learned Sun Tzu's Art of War, Viola felt that what she had learned before was all rubbish and could not be put on the stage.
Sun Tzu's Art of War does not teach you specific details such as how to fight, but it guides strategic thinking and systematically describes things that need to be paid attention to during the march.
This is why Sun Tzu's Art of War has been translated into many languages and continues to dominate the sales charts all year round.
The Demon King is on Viola's side, and of course this huge advantage must be used. It would be too stupid to rely solely on soldiers to fight.
After all, Viola only had 100,000 soldiers, which she had cobbled together. Avarus had just recovered his strength and could not afford that many soldiers.
The letter of persuasion to surrender is to tell the defenders that I do not want to kill them all.
But in order for them to make a decision quickly, there must be necessary pressure.
Li Chengqi originally wanted to perform some miracle, such as taking a photo with a laser pointer, or simply throwing a newly purchased drone into it and making it spin twice.
But then I thought about it, if miracles were too common, I felt that the force would fall off, which would affect the deterrent effect in the long run.
So Li Chengqi took a few mines from the Swan's warehouse, taught Viola how to set the timer to detonate, and then threw them out with a trebuchet.
As for the how-to guide?
Naturally, it comes from Fang Lanyin.
The machine mine was quite big. Li Chengqi even went to the garage to turn on the projector to get this thing out. It looked like a mine.
This thing will cause a certain amount of damage to the shields of the battleships, and a large number of minefields will be laid out. Even the battleships must take a detour. The power is not as powerful as the void torpedo, but it is definitely not small.
It's just that the projection method is a bit too simple. It has the beauty of using the most advanced tanks to fight positional warfare.
However, the effect is still very good. The cracking of the city wall shows that Viola has the ability to break through it. The reason why she wants to surrender is just because she doesn't want to go on a killing spree. You can decide what to do yourself.
Viola was very patient. After waiting for a day and night, a messenger was sent from the city, saying that the defenders were willing to surrender, but the specific details were being discussed.
Viola said generously, my deadline is three days, you can discuss it yourself, and I will attack the city when the time comes.
Since then, the city has been busy, and I don’t know what it is about.
However, other city gates in the light green capital showed signs of being opened, and they seemed to be transporting goods and people.
Viola did not surround the city. It was not a siege at all, but simply no siege.
Regarding the movements in the city, Viola said that she would just let them go and monitor them closely to prepare for sneak attacks.
It was not until the morning of the third day, when the time limit was approaching, that someone opened the city gate and surrendered to Viola.
At this time, there were only about a thousand soldiers left in the light green capital, and one scapegoat, or general, who surrendered. They all put down their weapons and surrendered. Viola captured this important city without bloodshed.
It was expected that the large army would move away, and Viola had no intention of pursuing it. Her purpose was not to destroy the Tandelon Demon Kingdom, and she was not interested in annihilating the opponent's vitality.
After entering the city, Viola restrained the army while arranging garrisons, controlling public security and officials, as well as important facilities such as warehouses.
The city must be completely occupied in order to ensure that Viola's logistics lines are clear. To be honest, this is much more troublesome than siege. As for the surrendered soldiers, Viola chose to let them all go. You can go wherever you like, but don't stay here.
Keeping these prisoners for nothing would be a waste of food, and they would also be a destabilizing factor. Killing them all would be too brutal and not conducive to further advancement.
Anyway, Viola didn't want to destroy the Tandelon Demon Kingdom, so she just let it go.
Li Chengqi watched the whole process and felt a little disappointed.
Damn it, why don't you resist?
Li Chengqi saw that Viola was going to fight again, so he bought a lot of drones and remote-controlled toys, just waiting to go on a killing spree, but the other party suddenly gave up.
Thinking at the best, at least the faith value can be saved. There will be many places where this thing will be used in the future. It is naturally a good thing to save this important resource.
Depending on the situation, Viola would stay in the light green capital for a while, waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive and take over the city. Li Chengqi had no choice but to put down the remote control in his hand and turned to look to the other side.
Yang Yiyi was still trekking in the desert. The girl now looked as if she had been softened by the sun. She was lying on the camel's back hugging the hump. The sunshade above her head seemed too thin to be of much use.
Obviously, she overestimated the difficulty of advancing in the desert.
People who have never been to the desert will think that the so-called desert is just a hot spot with a lot of sand.
In fact, it was only when I entered the desert that I realized that I was still in trouble.
Being in the desert is not as simple as a hot spot. The high temperature causes the air to distort, as if you are in a large furnace being slowly roasted by a small fire. Drinking water can cool you down, but this is not an air conditioner.
Upon seeing this, Li Chengqi asked for a few bottles of cooling potion from Aldai. He heard that it was a low-level potion that adventurers liked to use to prevent heatstroke.
But this isn't air conditioning either. It's still hot when it's supposed to be hot.
At present, Yang Yiyi is waiting for Li Chengqi to give her popsicles and ice cream from time to time in order to feel that she is alive and well. But she ate too much ice cream yesterday and had diarrhea in the middle of the night...
——This is why she looks so soft now.
Li Chengqi casually picked up a few ice bags bought online and stuffed them in. The coldness brought by the ice bags that had been frozen in the refrigerator should make this desert trip more comfortable.
Immediately, Li Chengqi looked at Alyssa again.
They have been at the base for several days. Although Alyssa just hangs out every day and even goes to the beach lounger to enjoy the humid sea breeze, not everyone is so leisurely.
Fang Lanyin repaired the damaged areas of the Swan, and with the help of others, used the crane in the base to try to connect the booster rocket to the Swan.
Thanks to the Star Group Alliance, thanks to the common interface, thanks to standardization, thanks to Lao Ma for open source...
No, no thanks for the last one.
In short, since they are all ships within the Constellation Alliance, the interfaces are universal, which saves a lot of trouble.
It's just that the booster rocket hasn't been refueled yet. After all, the date of departure has not yet been determined.
The automatic production line in the secret base has produced many experimental products these days, but after all, what Emma and Sun Lin brought were original design drawings without any improvements, and there were many problems, and there was no guarantee that they would be effective.
Therefore, it still takes time to continue to study it. For the time being, it is unlikely that the Swan will return to the void immediately.
