Chapter 20 Equipping the Army
Chapter 20: The Army of Equipment
Ioria's words made everyone look admiring when they looked at him. Ioria looked at everyone's expressions and her face turned slightly red.
Kong Ming smiled slightly and asked Ioria: "Ioria, do you know if you have any good plans?"
Ioria had a little more confidence in her expression, and pointed to the map and said, "Please look here for everyone."
Where Ioria refers to three cities in the shape of a pin. On both sides of the three cities are high mountains and ridges. One of them is the main road to enter and exit the imperial capital. If you want to go from the border to the imperial capital, you must pass through its city.
Aoria looked around everyone and said, "This is the main road to enter and exit the imperial capital. If we occupy this city, we believe that reinforcements on the border will not be able to support the imperial capital."
Kong Ming smiled slightly and nodded to Ioria in admiration. He looked at Yali, who was very familiar with the geography of the Light Empire, and said, "Yali, tell everyone about the situation and environment of these three cities."
Yali bowed to Kong Ming and said respectfully, "Yes! Demon Lord!" He has been in the Empire of Light for many years and continues his name to Kong Ming.
A shrewd glance in his eyes and he talked freely: "Everyone, these three cities are the Holy Spirit City, the Holy Envoy City, and the Holy Order City. They are the main roads for border cities to enter and exit the imperial capital. If you take a detour, it will take at least five months to reach the imperial capital."
As he said this, he pondered for a while and continued: "The Holy Spirit City is the key to this passage. If the Holy Spirit City is occupied, it will definitely make the border army not have time to support the imperial capital. The 200,000 troops stationed on the border were also stationed here. It was only because the Kaile Empire army was pressing down that the army here was transferred to the border. There are only 30,000 troops stationed in the Holy Spirit City, and I believe it should not be difficult to take it down."
After listening to Yali's statement, Sophid pondered for a while, frowned and said, "Faced with a 200,000 army, if you want to defend the Holy Spirit City, you must have at least 50,000 troops. In this way, with a 150,000 army, facing the 350,000 army stationed in the city, it may be extremely difficult."
As soon as this said, everyone nodded. Even Ioria felt that if the troops were divided into two groups, their strength would be weak, and it would be difficult for both sides to make progress.
Everyone looked at each other and frowned, all looking frowning, and no one spoke for a long time.
Kong Ming shook his head and sighed in his heart: "It seems that their thoughts are still too conservative. They only know how to analyze the situation in front of them, but they cannot think from another perspective."
Kong Ming helplessly reminded everyone and whispered: "Dividing 50,000 troops will indeed make the power to go to the imperial capital too weak. But what if the army divided 20,000 troops to go to the Holy Spirit City?"
Everyone's face changed drastically, and Sophid immediately said in surprise: "City Lord, you must not! If you only divide 20,000 troops to the Holy Spirit City, even if you take it without any damage, you will probably not be able to hold on for a month when the 200,000 troops attack the Holy Spirit City stationed by 20,000 troops."
Ioria suddenly looked moved and said solemnly: "If 20,000 troops could hold the 200,000 troops for a month, I think the imperial capital has been pacified in three months. I think this can be done with 20,000 troops for greater victory!"
Sophid's face also changed slightly, and he immediately understood what Ioria meant. Then he said with joy: "Not bad! It's worth it to exchange 20,000 troops for a complete victory!"
Aoria immediately bowed and walked to Kong Ming, and said with a solemn expression: "City Lord, the villain is willing to lead the army to the Holy Spirit City, and he will hold the 200,000 troops for the city lord!"
Sophid also walked over immediately and whispered: "The city lord, the villain should be led by the villain. I'm afraid I'm still difficult to stand alone now! It's better to lead the villain to go!"
Other generals also stepped forward and asked to lead the troops to the Holy Spirit City.
Kong Ming shook his head again. These people didn't have any twists in their minds.
Helplessly, Kong Ming had to say again: "Do you think you can only stay for one month with 20,000 soldiers stationed in the Holy Spirit City?"
Sophid resolutely raised his head and said heroically: "City Lord, if these 20,000 people are led by the villain, the villain will be absolutely sure, at least defend the city, and not lose it for two months."
Kong Ming shook his head and said, "What if you leave 10,000 people to guard the city?"
Sophid's face changed again. He knew that the city lord's words must have a deep meaning. After pondering for a while, he did not guess what the city lord meant, and looked at Kong Ming in confusion.
Kong Ming felt speechless. No one could understand such a suggestion.
"If 10,000 people stayed to guard the city, then 10,000 people cut off the food routes of the border army. Then send the hidden troops to burn the food and grass of the army. Do you think the army on the border can persist until it reaches the Holy Spirit City without food? I'm afraid that even if you arrive at the Holy Spirit City on hunger, you can only surrender!" Under the elm heads of these people, Kong Ming had completely surrendered.
Only then did everyone show a sudden enlightenment and look excited on their faces.
Sophid said excitedly: "City Lord! A clever plan! In this way, you will be able to defend the Holy Spirit City without any effort. And it is very likely that the 200,000 army will surrender without fighting."
Looking at Sophid, Kong Ming could only shake his head secretly and thought in disappointment: "I have taught them the military strategies of another world, but they cannot learn and apply them. They just think according to this world, a single war model. Defending is defense, and offense is merit. It seems that without the training of war, they will not grow up for a while."
Kong Ming secretly decided to use this battle of the Light Empire to hone his generals.
After looking at Sophid and Ioria, Kong Ming looked solemn and ordered loudly: "Sophid obeys!"
Sophid looked solemn on his face, stood upright with his chest, and responded with a high spirit: "Sophid is here!"
"I ordered you to lead 20,000 cavalry and 200 hidden troops to go to the Holy Spirit City. Be sure to take down the Holy Spirit City without any mistakes!"
Sophid looked a little hesitant. With the city lord's plan, the battle in the Holy Spirit City should not be difficult. He thought that the city lord would hand over the task of attacking the imperial capital to him.
However, since the city lord had already given the order, Sophid did not dare to violate the military order, so he had to respond: "Get the order!"
Kong Ming looked at Sophid and said in a deep voice: "Sophid will lead your army to attack the Holy Spirit City this time, and you will bear all the affairs of all sizes and big things. You will control the situation by yourself, and I will no longer send others to help you. I wonder, do you have confidence?"
Sophid said confidently: "Please rest assured, Sophid will definitely live up to the entrustedness of the lord!"
"Remember to move according to the steps, it is not advisable. Flexibility and change are the essence of military strategy." Kong Ming said in a deep tone.
"Sophid remembers the words of the city lord!" Sophid remembered what Kong Ming said deeply in his mind.
Looking at Ioria, Kong Ming hesitated for a moment. With Ioria leading the army to attack the imperial capital, his experience is still insufficient. Fortunately, with the assistance of Huanqi and others and brainstorming, he should be able to grow up soon and find confidence on the battlefield.
"Ioria, you will lead an army of 180,000 to attack the imperial capital. The Illusion Cavalry, Alpha, will help you to capture the imperial capital!"
Ioria was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that such an important task would be left to him. Such an important task made Ioria a little nervous, excited and joyful.
Ioria looked at the generals with trust, stood up with high fighting spirit, bowed to take the order: "Get the order!"
"This attack on the imperial capital will be planned and directed by you and the Fantasy Cavalry and Alpha. Be careful when you go all the way! I will stay in the dwarves and wait for good news for your victory."
All the generals were energetic and stood up, shouting with a majestic momentum: "Little people, you will definitely live up to the entrusted lord of the city, and take over the Empire of Light for the city lord! Purge the universe and give the mainland a peaceful and prosperous era!"
Kong Ming looked at the excited people and said loudly: "You can go to the leader of Locke to collect armor and weapons. After distributing the armor to the soldiers, the army will set off immediately!"
When everyone heard the armor made by the dwarfs, their eyes flashed with excitement and ran towards the leader of Rock, wanting to see what kind of armor the leader of Rock had prepared for the army of 200,000.
The leader of the Locke led everyone to open the arsenal of weapons that the dwarves had accumulated for thousands of years. The weapons and armor that the dwarves had built for thousands of years were all piled up in that cave.
The dwarves pursue the ultimate pursuit of forging art. The weapons and armor they create are rarely sold. Because they only use forging as fun, but do not make a living by forging. Unless they exchange rare metals and crystals with the human race, they will exchange the weapons and armor they create.
Because all the weapons and armors created by the dwarves are high-quality, and they are sparsely circulated, they make the price extremely high. Unless they are princes and nobles and imperial marshals are first-class, they can afford armor and weapons created by the dwarves.
The weapons and armor they had accumulated were all stored in this cave. Moreover, with Kong Ming's forging chapter, the forging technology of the dwarves had made rapid progress. These weapons and armor that had been accumulated for thousands of years had become useless at this time, and were just used to equip Kong Ming's army.
Although these armors will make swordsmen on the mainland crazy. Even the marshals of the princes and nobles are proud of having such weapons and armor. However, the generals and warriors who have seen the Holy Winged Angel Armor have an unconcealed look of disappointment after wearing those armors.
Looking at the disappointed expressions of everyone, the patriarch Locke blushed slightly. He vowed that one day, everyone would wear the Holy Winged Angel Armor.
Even with such armor, after the 200,000 troops were put on, the momentum increased. The armor increased the power of the people, and the armor increased the power of the people. The 200,000 troops wore various handsome armors, immediately looked murderous and imposing.
