Chapter 230 Lost Battle
Lin Mu stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the sergeants who were constantly attacking the caves. Recommended: The new work of "Occupy the Second Dimension" by the great god of fishing for the moon in the sea http:///5_5948/
The soldiers of the True Dragon Legion, carrying wolf shields or stainless steel shields, advanced slowly like snails on the rugged mountain road. When they were about to approach some caves, countless black arrows suddenly erupted from the cave entrances, like bees.
It was like a buzzing sound, and the arrows hit the shield or armor, making a clanging sound. However, some unlucky soldiers would be shot by the arrows into some parts of their bodies that were not properly protected. After several puffs, the soldiers
They groaned, splattered with blood, and were rescued by Pao Ze from behind.
After the buzzing black arrows, a burst of red "iron ore fire rain" suddenly erupted from the cave entrance. These "rains" were also accompanied by little stars of fire water, and bounced on the mountain grass with a squeaking sound.
.
It was the ore that the craftsmen in the foundry base melted and cast into refined iron. They were randomly put into the furnace to be heated, and then thrown out to be used as materials to defend the city.
Some soldiers were hit by the "rain of iron ore rocks". A series of squeaking sounds accompanied by a smell of meat suddenly appeared on the battlefield. The injured soldiers were wailing. The soldiers were a little panicked. They had no choice but to lead the team. The military leader ordered,
Slowly retreat and do not advance for the time being.
Lin Mu frowned when he saw this. This was not good. Before he could confront him, he was already suppressed by the soldiers guarding the city. His morale was greatly affected. Lin Mu was not the commander, so he didn't know if the system was
There will be reminders about morale decline.
Unfortunately, the True Dragon Legion currently does not have a top strategist, so the situation caught the True Dragon Legion off guard.
The True Dragon Legion can only rely on Liu Feng, He Yuan and other generals to make their own plans for the battle. They go into battle and charge without hesitation, but when it comes to planning and layout, it is really difficult for them.
In the previous battles against bandits, the True Dragon Legion was prepared in advance and had Feng Zhong and others planning behind the scenes. Now, faced with the sudden changes in the battlefield situation, the legion's response was somewhat lagging behind.
Although the level of the soldiers of the True Dragon Legion is relatively high, war is not only about strength, but also strategies and strategies. In addition to the level of soldiers, other aspects of the True Dragon Legion still need to be improved.
This is a lesson, a lesson for Liu Feng and other generals to reflect on, and a lesson for the True Dragon Legion sergeants to reflect on themselves.
"Liu Feng, when we were on the mission to suppress bandits in the Five Mountains, did the soldiers behave like this when faced with the difficulties of siege? They panicked on their own!" Lin Mu asked seriously.
Lin Mu did not participate in the five-mountain bandit suppression mission, but the results were brilliant. Lin Mu did not learn more about the process in detail, nor did he know the specific performance of the soldiers.
Now, during this attack on Xu Zhao's Qinglong Village, the performance of the soldiers was somewhat unsatisfactory.
"Reporting to my lord, everyone used to have plans and routines to attack the city. Now, when we launch the attack, it is a situation of hindsight. The soldiers guarding the city are already ready, so it has been difficult to open up the situation. The soldiers will inevitably
There was a mistake." Liu Feng knew that the soldiers were advancing more than ten times, but no results were achieved. Instead, the number of injured soldiers increased, which caused some psychological loopholes in the soldiers who had been fighting a smooth battle. But Liu Feng, as the commander-in-chief, still needs to
Try to defend the soldiers.
"Soldiers of the True Dragon Legion are invincible and invincible when fighting against the wind and favorable conditions. But when fighting against the wind, it is not satisfactory. In the future, as the commander-in-chief, you need to strengthen training in this area. I will do the same when I return.
Let Feng Zhong pay attention to this aspect of training when training."
Feng Zhong's current training plan is to speed up the advancement and level of soldiers, as well as the levels of some skills and specialties. However, as the sergeants encounter more and more battles, it becomes more and more difficult. The battlefield for the soldiers
Literacy and battlefield reaction ability also need to be improved.
At the same time, Lin Mu's desire for a counselor has reached its peak. To complete this strategy, he must abduct a counselor.
"Liu Feng, you order the soldiers to retreat first, not to attack for the time being, and to recharge their batteries first to restore everyone's morale and physical strength." Lin Mu instructed Liu Feng.
"No!" Liu Feng had no choice but to give the order. Liu Feng's commanding ability is still immature and needs to be improved urgently. Fighting against bandits and bandits is a battle with backward equipment and lack of supplies to defend the city. If it is against
The armies led by super generals such as Cao Ren and Yu Jin are just like delivering food.
The golden ocean covering the mountains slowly receded, and I believe the Qinglong Army guarding the city also breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Mu gathered Liu Feng, He Yuan, Wang Sheng, Zhang Xiaohu, Shan Gong and other generals together and sat on a mountain lawn to discuss the situation of the battle.
It's not that he ignored the five thousand elites who were besieged in the cave, but that there was no way to advance for the time being. Lin Mu also believed in the strength of Tianjia Seventy-eight and others. They could persist for a long time in the narrow cave. The five thousand elites carried
There is enough food and grass, so there is no need to worry about being trapped.
The top priority now is to open up the strong defense of Qinglong Village.
"He Yuan, you are rushing forward, have you seen the general of the Qinglong Army who is very good at archery?" Lin Mu asked immediately after gathering.
"I saw that he was tall and strong. He was about six feet tall, about twenty-seven years old, with a majestic face, well-muscled arms, and strong strength. But the most conspicuous thing was that he had a scar under his right eye, which made him look ferocious.
Evil." He Yuan recalled.
"Is the scar under his right eye shaped like a crescent?" Lin Mu asked immediately.
"Hey, my lord, have you seen him?" Wang Shenghu next to him asked, indicating that Lin Mu was right.
"Could it be him... it should be him! But how did he join Xu Zhao's command, how did he become the Qinglong Army?" Lin Mu had a guess in his mind and murmured.
In the world of mythology, military commanders generally don't have any scars on their faces. Any injuries on their faces can be solved with some elixirs. Only some scars with special meanings are left. Lin Mu knows from his own memory that there are only a few top-notch ones.
A general will have scars on his face.
Based on He Yuan's information, Lin Mu thought of a person and asked, "What is his combat power? What is his approximate strength level?"
"We also fought against him at that time, but he never tried his best, as if he was worried about something. Judging from our Huang-level and Xuan-level strength, we guessed that he should have been above the Earth level. The weapons he used were tiger-head spears and bows, and he swept with one hand.
The Bafang Spear was so amazing that we only lasted for two rounds before retreating. When we used the sharp knife plan, he took out the bow and arrow on his back and wounded a senior military commander with one arrow. He hit four out of four arrows, like a sharpshooter.
." He Yuan said bitterly with some lingering fears.
"Okay, I already know the specific situation of this city-defending general. Let's talk about the situation of this siege." Lin Mu turned the topic to the siege.
"Liu Feng, now that everyone has calmed down, how do you think this battle should be fought?" Lin Mu asked.
Lin Mu asked Liu Feng, He Yuan and others about the intelligence of the Qinglong Army, but it was of no use. Although they were members of the Qinglong Army before, they were only on the periphery, responsible for some recruit training and other matters, and could not reach the core level of Xu Zhao.
So we know very little about Xu Zhao.
"Lord, I can't think of anything right now." Liu Feng was a little confused.
The original plan was to conduct a sneak attack at night, open up some caves, and then slowly advance to occupy other caves, then occupy all the exits, surround them, use this to threaten them, force them to surrender, and achieve maximum results.
Unfortunately, everything backfired, because the plan to transport troops for a sneak attack was discovered, the defenders were prepared, and the True Dragon Legion attacked in a hurry, resulting in a defeat, falling into a disadvantage, and being helpless.
There are still about 100,000 defenders in this Qinglong Village, which is not a piece of paper. Even if the True Dragon Legion has 200,000 elite soldiers, they still need to fight to show their combat power. Now they are restricted by their defense methods. Everyone
They were all holding their breath and their morale was a little low.
When it comes to siege, there is a generally accepted theory: Only an army with ten times the combat power of the defending city can defeat the city head-on. The True Dragon Army currently does not have ten times the combat power of Qinglong Village, and it is not a regular front-on siege and defense battle.
"What about you?" Lin Mu was a little disappointed, and then asked He Yuan, Wang Sheng and the others. Several of them shook their heads.
Lin Mu was disappointed, but not despairing. Liu Feng and the others had experienced very few battles, and had read even fewer art of war books. Moreover, there were basically no art of war books in Yinglong Valley. They were all passed down by word of mouth from Feng Zhong.
Less is taught.
It is really difficult for them to come up with a good strategy.
Lin Mu patted Liu Feng and the others on their shoulders and said softly: "Don't be discouraged, everyone. You lack experience. You also have little experience in observing and analyzing factors such as the right time, place, people, and other factors. You can just strengthen it in the future. This battle is a lesson."
"Since you have no other choice, just adopt the strategy I just thought of, and you should also learn from it." Lin Mu said a strategy that came to mind.
"In marching and fighting, in addition to the strength of the soldiers, logistics and other righteous aspects, there are also constraints from the right time, place, people and other auxiliary factors such as miraculous ways. Today, I will let everyone see the power of miraculous ways as auxiliary factors." Lin Mu slowly said
said.
"The Qinglong Army sticks to the cave and is difficult to attack for a while. However, the Qinglong Village is built in a cave. Its function is to forge weapons, so there is a huge disadvantage: heat!"
"Hot?" Liu Feng and others asked in confusion.
"Yes, it's heat. Heat includes many things. The first one is geothermal. Casting weapons requires the construction of many furnaces and high temperatures, so it must be very hot in the mountain. In addition, the air circulation in the mountain is more difficult than in an empty city, so the air
Turbidity, this is gas heat! As long as our soldiers pour some cold water into the holes that discharge black smoke, a large amount of hot steam will inevitably be generated. Due to the relationship between geothermal and gas heat, the defenders will be greatly disturbed.
