Chapter 110: Ambush(1/4)
"This is the situation. If we cannot give them a heavy blow before they are ready, then when the army of criminals comes again, the pressure we will have to bear will be much greater than before. We will
The only advantage now is to rely on the good quality of the soldiers to form a local combat advantage in positional warfare to annihilate their effective forces. If the criminals can master the formation, tactics, and coordination of various arms well, they can take them out
Without the help of the large-scale siege equipment that is being built, we will face a very passive situation."
Lomat spoke eloquently at the military meeting of the Supreme Command, and his words were full of energy. The cowering and mumbling look he used to have when he was frustrated was no longer visible. Ray could even feel that Lomat was very intoxicated.
With his current status and power, one of his words can determine the movements, life and death of tens of millions of soldiers. Indeed, the temptation of such power is difficult for anyone to resist. Even Lei himself occasionally thinks of
The great power I hold now still feels like a dream.
Jerry tilted his head slightly and laughed in a low voice: "This boy, hey, he is very majestic now. A large number of our dukes, marquises, earls, marshals, and generals are not all ordered around by him.
Huh? Haha, by the way, there is also a prince, and you have to listen to his opinions honestly. This kid, ha." Jerry seemed to think of the time when Lomart served as a marching staff officer under Gaddafi.
With that downcast look, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lomart raised his eyebrows, blinked his eyes, and gave Jerry a sharp sideways glance. Then, he said loudly: "Therefore, we cannot wait for the enemy to build up their momentum to its peak before attacking us.
We must give the criminals the most painful blow we can before they further increase their strength, annihilate their combat power as much as possible, and lay the foundation for our next all-out war."
Lei raised his hand and asked: "Loma, it's easy to say that. But, how do we attack them? Those guys are in the 'God's Prairie', there is no way for us to rush in, they are all
If the army is dispatched, the best result is that we are annihilated by them, and at most they can kill a few more criminals."
Lomat pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "Yes, we can't enter the 'God-given grassland', but we can let them come out of the grassland. According to the news from the previous assassination team, those criminals are now
There are about 50,000 to 60,000 people grazing on the grasslands and cultivating fields in one settlement. Their largest fortress has more than 300,000 soldiers gathered nearby. That is definitely not the target of our choice. What we choose should be
With the size of their small settlement of three to five people, it is still possible to kill nearly 300,000 of them at once. Moreover, the combat strength of 300,000 people is not a small number for the criminals.
Already."
Inger, who had been standing next to Lomat, added: "Those settlements of fifty to sixty thousand people are at least hundreds of miles away from each other. If our army rushes in, they can easily contact each other.
, surround our army and annihilate it. But if we use the assassination squad as bait to lure their team to the place where we have set up an ambush, and at the same time use other assassination squads to cover up and kill the messengers they sent, we may be able to
Before the main force of criminals discovers them, lead them into our ambush circle."
Lomat pointed to the sand table on the table and said: "Of course, the appearance of a few assassination teams is not enough to lure out everyone in their settlement. We need a cavalry team that looks relatively large-scale to cooperate.
Those small teams of killers act as bait, and each team is limited to about 10,000 people, which is enough for people from the settlements to rush out and hunt down our team."
Inger's hand directly touched a point on the sand table: "Here, thirty miles away from the 'Iron Castle' defense line, if the enemy decoy troops in front perform successfully, those criminals will boldly follow our decoy troops to rush forward.
Entering this valley, the archers we ambushed can teach them a severe lesson. According to my analysis and that of Mr. Lomat, in this case, when they have no time to mobilize nearby large troops for reinforcements,
It is very likely that wizards from the elves, eighteen ghost dragons and those from the underworld will be dispatched to try to tear apart our siege, and the attack range of the magic circle of the 'Iron Castle' is..."
Suok stroked his long beard proudly and said with a smile: "Through our recent efforts, we have been able to gather a total of 420 towers to launch magic attacks. As long as 200,000 mages are in the magic
With the magic power instilled in the core, coupled with the power of the two giant magic crystals at the magic core, we can guarantee full-power magic attacks for half the day. The attack range includes a radius of fifty miles centered on the 'Iron Castle', that
The valley used for the ambush is just under the cover of our magic."
Caleron sneered and nodded: "If those elves still think that the power of our magic is still the same as what they saw last time, then they will be surprised. After passing the pre-arranged magic circle, our
The magic power will be amplified five times before attacking. No matter how strong the magic power of their elves is, their numbers are far inferior to our mages. As long as they dare to come out, we will give them a severe lesson...those
Giant dragon, don’t you think they dare to risk being hit by the combined force of all our mages?”
Lei held up his chin with both hands, blinked and asked, "So, in other words, as long as we lure them into that valley, that's all, right?"
Lomat nodded: "Yes, Mr. Lei, as long as we can attract five to six criminals from the settlement into that valley, we can easily annihilate them. This will make those criminals feel good.
, especially we can give those criminals a hard blow in terms of morale. We want them to know that even if they learn some inferior techniques and tactics, changes in formations, etc., their overall strength is still inferior.
Our...only problem now is..."
Inger used a thin wooden stick to draw on the sand table for a long time, and said: "The only problem now is that the teams that lure the enemy must reach the valley in almost the same time. And the distance between those settlements
There are distances and distances, and the speed of the cavalry team may be fast or slow. How to attract the enemies we can kill into the valley just right without arousing the other party's alert requires careful planning of the launch time of each team.
.”
Lei shook his head and stood up, casually patted Jerry on the shoulder and said: "Okay, then you can discuss it and tell me the final result. I will choose capable people first. How to attack and when to attack."
, send someone to inform me when the time comes, and I will bring 15,000 Glory Knights in. Bobkart, I can only ask you to support more 'Thunder Beasts', so that at least we can escape unscathed."
Bobcat also stood up and said coldly without moving his eyebrows: "Okay, it doesn't matter. My subordinates won't be of much use this time. I will also lead a group of people into the 'God-given Grassland'
Okay, the extra 'Thunder Beasts' can be chosen by the brothers in each enemy-baiting team at will. However, General Lei, we are here to lure the enemy. You don't want to lead 15,000 glory knights and destroy their entire settlement.
It's all destroyed." Bobcat looked at Lei with flashing eyes and laughed a few times.
The generals who had seen Lei's super attack power laughed at the same time, and their hearts were filled with optimism of victory. Bobcat walked out of the conference room one step ahead, and several of his subordinates' Bear Riders immediately followed.
He asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, why did you come out? Is the combat meeting over?"
Bobcat frowned and drank in a low voice: "It's over, I just can't stand some people's faces. I was just a small marching staff officer at the beginning, and he didn't dare to say a word of nonsense in front of me.
That's all, now he actually dares to proudly assign my mission in front of me? Especially what did he rely on to make a fortune? Isn't it just relying on Lei's power? Now he is talking about Master Lei without any respect on his face. He is indeed a villain.
The virtue of being successful, huh, I can't stand that kind of person."
Lei, who was about ten feet behind Bobcat, heard his words clearly. Lei frowned and sneered in a low voice: "Bob Carter, are you deliberately trying to sow discord between me and Lomat? Damn it.
Damn, I didn’t expect that you people from the Bicester Empire would also start a conspiracy. Hum, how could I be fooled? Lomat is my brother.” Lei patted his sword and swung the two
He had long legs and walked out of the headquarters building with Karub, who also looked unhappy.
As night approached, the entire 'Iron Castle' became busy inside. Countless mages rushed to the underground secret room carrying their muddy robes, and more soldiers grabbed their longbows and powerful crossbows, like a tide.
They gathered towards the open space in the city. Countless cavalrymen all drove the 'Thunder Beast' that was three heads taller than a human. Under the leadership of the officers of their own troops, they rushed out towards the city gate.
Tens of thousands of mages from the Smart Empire are suspended in the air, blessing the soldiers holding bows and arrows with magic shields that can last for three days. These weak shields that do not emit magic fluctuations are enough to ensure that they stay in the snow.
When hiding, they will not be affected by the cold air. The cavalry are clearly divided into six teams, led by Lei, Bobcat and four other generals from Wright, Dark, Rhett, and the Wright Empire.
They rushed out of the 'Iron Castle' lightly. A thin layer of strange white mist enveloped the heads of the entire cavalry team, covering up the sound they made as they advanced. At the same time, from a distance, these rapid
The advancing cavalry was nothing more than a streak of snow mist brought up by the strong wind blowing across the snow.
As soon as the cavalry team left the city, a total of 300,000 archers set off from the 'Iron Castle'. Relying on the 'Wind Wing Technique' blessed by them, they walked on the snow as if gliding, heading northwest quickly. The group of small mountain peaks rushed over. Behind them were a hundred thousand melee troops holding spears and pushing artillery. In the sky, a full 50,000 mages were flying with them. These mages not only acted as annihilators. Those who are the main executioners of the enemy forces who are lured must also use all their magic during the period of hiding to try not to let the criminals discover the existence of the ambush.
That is to say, the coalition forces of seven countries and the large number of magicians in the 'God City' can have such a large number of magicians. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of magicians on duty in the city, they can also send 50,000 people.
Fifteen thousand Glory Knights led by Lei have already rushed into the 'God-given Grassland'. According to Lomat's plan, their team is going to deal with the farthest settlement where sinners and orcs are mixed. The six teams all avoided the settlements with elves. The reason was that without the elves, it would be impossible for the seduced criminals to detect signs of an ambush. Just entering the grassland, a team of fifty people The men in black appeared in front of Lei and the others. These men in black did not speak. After making a gesture, they started to gallop on the snow at a speed that was definitely not slower than the "Thunder Beast". They led Lei and the others to avoid The sparse patrolling cavalry of the sinners were launched, and taking advantage of the cover of night and magic, they rushed towards the sinners' settlement five hundred miles away.
Rockart complained in a low voice: "Yinger found a good place for us. We have to travel a thousand miles back and forth in the 'God-given Grassland' to lead the enemy to the place where we ambush. As long as we pass through the settlements , if one of us is not fooled and is attracted away, we will face the danger of being attacked from both sides. Damn it, especially that settlement with more than 70,000 people, which happens to be on the only way we can return. If we take a detour, we We have to go more than seventy miles, which is enough for their large army to surround us."
Lei shook his head and said disdainfully: "What is there to worry about? Rockart, war is gambling. Those two boys from Lomart made a handicap, and we are the chips on the gambling table. This round. Whether we win or lose, don't consider other factors, just consider whether we work hard enough. Hum, there are only 70,000 people. If it doesn't work, we will defeat them. Those criminals are indeed very strong, but we are all It's cavalry. Even if 15,000 cavalry can't annihilate 70,000 infantry on flat ground, it can still crush them."
Lei waved his fist heavily in the wind, making a loud "hoo" sound. The cavalry behind him also let out a soft shout. Most of the shout was absorbed by the mist outside the cavalry, and the rest The sound that leaked out also merged into the wind blowing through the grass. Like rolling waves of grass, Lei and his cavalry brigade rushed towards the settlement five hundred miles away.
Above the ambush valley, generals such as Lomat, Inger, Jerry, and Gaddafi urged the soldiers to dig out the hard frozen soil to create individual bunkers that could bury themselves. Each soldier had four pots, a total of two Hundreds of long arrows were also placed within reach. The mages activated their own spells to hide themselves. Waves of faint white mist enveloped the entire valley, and everything was unnatural. All traces of it have disappeared.
The fifteen tall magic puppets stood at the entrance of the valley, lined up in a line a hundred feet apart. With the full cooperation of hundreds of earth mages, the puppets emitted a light yellow light, slowly
It sank into the ground. Then the snow returned to its original state again... At the entrance of the valley, the mages gently used white ink crystal powder to carve complicated magic arrays on the snow, and the ink crystal powder gave off a faint flash of light.
, blending into the snow on the ground.
Lomart stood on the edge of a pit and said to Jerry with a low smile: "As long as the big brother leads those criminals over, we can start. Let's see if the brains of those criminals have become smarter.
"Lomat smiled proudly. He was able to mobilize nearly half a million troops at once to fight according to his own wishes. This was a scenery that he had never dared to imagine before. He clenched his fist fiercely and saw
Looking at the valley, which is ten miles wide at its widest point, runs northwest and southeast, and is more than thirty miles long, Luomat feels relaxed and happy.
Jerry grabbed a ball of snow out of boredom, flicked it out, and knocked away a sparrow looking for food on the snow. He buried his face completely in the snow and answered Lomat: "Oh, Lei is.
It’s fun, but why do I have to wait here for them to bring people over? Lomat, why the hell do you not want me to bring a team of people when you allocate people?”
Lomat shrugged his shoulders, crawled into his own pit, and after humming twice, he said: "In order to achieve a balance, our Seven-Nation Alliance, except for the team of mages sent by the Smart Empire, is here.
In addition to the ambush here, each of the six countries sends a team to lure the enemy. This is the most ideal configuration, so as to save those gentlemen from saying that our people from the Fante Empire have the exclusive credit... Moreover, we cannot let their people
Just stay in the 'Iron Castle' and watch the fun, we can't always let our troops fight to the death, right?...But, Jerry, let me ask, what did that woman Medusa do to you when she was leaving?"
Jerry was stunned for a moment, pulled out his head from the snow, and whispered: "Princess Medusa?... Hehe... Hehe... What else can I do?
I work hard to serve the empire and kill the enemy with all my strength, but you can say that you can recommend me to be the grand duke of a province."
Lomat nodded slowly and looked deeply into Jerry's eyes: "That's it, that's good. But Jerry, don't you think Princess Medusa has any position to recommend us? We ourselves
Once you have established your merits, His Majesty Shagru will naturally promote us. You are not far away from the position of Grand Duke, right? As long as you can make a little more merit, what is a Duke? That woman Medusa has just arrived.
It hasn’t been long since there has been a disturbance here, so Mr. Jerry, please be careful.”
Lomat said a few words intentionally or unintentionally, and then drooped his head. Then, a slight snoring began. With the help of the magic spells of the magicians, not a single bit of cold air could invade Lomat's body.
Not to mention how comfortable he slept. Jerry looked at Lomat's pure, kind, honest, and loyal face like a newborn baby, frowned slightly, and suddenly smiled softly, and whispered: "Yes.
Ah, that’s what I mean too. The master of the empire is His Majesty Shagru, not Prince Andrei, right?”
Lomat opened one eye, blinked and said: "Yes, that's what I mean. Princess Medusa may have mild delusional symptoms. Does she think she is the master of the empire? Haha
Ha, but the strength of the two female mages under her is really amazing."
Jerry nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course, those two female mages are said to have above-average strength, but they don't pose much of a threat to us. We would have killed them long ago before they could activate their magic." Jerry hehe
He smiled, but he was very careful to control his laughter very subtly. Except for Lomat, even Inger, who was so close, could not hear his voice.
Lomat nodded lightly, closed his eyes again, and muttered: "Yes, the threat to us is not big anyway, so you don't need to pay attention to the conditions they promised. I just want to be able to be broad-minded."
To be continued...
