Eighty, the flames of war (15)
The battle lasted until the early morning of the next day. About two-thirds of the troops of the 21st Legion died in battle, and one-third of the troops became prisoners of the Dark Army. This tragic battle ended with the completion of the magic circle of the Demon-Destroying Fortress. However, when all the Light Army retreated into the fortress, Lei Lies almost fell to the ground.
The Fourth Swordsman Army suffered more than five million casualties, and the Fifth Swordsman Army had no less than three million casualties, while the 21st Legion had been wiped out. What was the battle good for him? The battle was not fought like this, but the first day of the battle almost cost 40 million troops. How many days can the army in his hands support? He didn't know, he really didn't know, is there any hope of victory in this battle of light and darkness? Is there a possibility of winning? Why did this battle become like this? Is the Dark Army becoming stronger, or is there something else? He didn't know, he really didn't know.
Lei Lies wrote the report and sent it to Aohuat in the Central Theater Command through the magic system. In just five hours, Aohuat received the report. After reading it, he looked heavy. After only one day of war, the Eastern Theater Command lost a legion. The losses of the two legions in the Tenth Army of Light were not small. This level of loss had already made him, the commander-in-chief, and what was terrible was that he had no idea how to resolve this new tactic of the Temple of Darkness.
To put it bluntly, the tactics of the Dark Temple have no characteristics. They are just using the magic cannons in their hands to bully people. Faced with a large number of magic cannons, except for those powerful warriors above the god level, they can basically kill them in one shot. The opponent has 60,000 self-propelled cannons. This firepower makes him feel numb when he thinks of it. The strength of the Dark Temple is also too powerful. The scattered 60,000 magic cannons are terrible, which makes him feel heartbroken.
However, the problem is already in front of you. If you want to deal with the magic artillery troops of the Dark Army, you have to concentrate more magic artillery than the Dark Army. However, the total number of magic artillery guns of the thirty legions of the Light Army is only 45,000. In addition, the total number of magic artillery troops of the Highest Army is only 55,000. If you concentrate all of them in the Eastern Theater Command, it is still not as much as that of the opponent. In addition, there are so many fronts of the Demon-Destroying Fortress. The Dark Army can arrange more magic artillery by maneuvering back and forth, but how can so many magic artillery be placed on the city wall? Besides, it is too late to transfer the magic artillery to the Eastern Theater Command. If you want to concentrate all the magic artillery in the Eastern Theater Command, it will take at least one month. One month. Then the Eastern Theater Command is probably already lost on the entire line. What should you do?
Lei Lies could throw the problem to Aowat, but Aowat could no longer throw the problem to others. He immediately summoned his main generals to meet to solve the problem. When he heard that the Dark Army had used 60,000 magic cannons, all the generals in the Central Theater Command took a breath. The Dark Army was so shameless. How could he do this? He was just using more cannons and more soldiers to bully people.
Phoenix Saint Gula, the commander of the Sixth Cavalry Legion, said: "The only way we can now be to give up the Demon-Destroying Fortress. Only by giving up the Demon-Destroying Fortress and allowing our army to fight mobile operations can we avoid a large number of casualties." Faced with the attacks of heavy troops and large numbers of heavy weapons by the enemy, giving up a fixed position to fight guerrilla warfare, this is indeed a good idea.
Aohuat smiled bitterly and said, "Behind the Demon-Destroying Fortress is the Liefeng Kingdom under the Lieguang Empire. There is a plain there. Facing the cavalry of the Dark Army, the Liefeng Kingdom cannot stop it at all. If the Liefeng Kingdom is defeated, the Lieguang Empire will be destroyed. We cannot bear the responsibility of an empire's loss. Besides, if the Dark Army robs the Lieguang Empire, our army can already declare its defeat. At that time, we will all step down."
An empire has strong combat power and is not so easy to defeat. However, facing the Dark Army's total of 30 legions and 900 million troops, an empire has 200 million troops at its peak. The 200 million troops can defend an empire's territory of more than 10 billion square kilometers? As long as people with a brain think about it, it is impossible. The consequences of the fall of an empire are too serious, so even if hundreds of millions of troops in the Eastern Theater Command are all killed in battle, the Lieguang Empire must not be lost. This is the consensus of all the generals here.
However, the question now is how to crack the tactics used by the Dark Army? Even if the Dark Army ceases to fight for one day and let the Light Army clean up the battlefield, what about the day after tomorrow? If the battle starts again and the Dark Army uses the same tactics again, how can the Light Army crack it? There is no way to crack it. Except for having the same equipment, everything else is useless. Tactics such as night battle can only be thought about. The Dark Army's camp tent is hundreds of kilometers wide. It is almost impossible to find the Dark Army's self-propelled artillery camp. Besides, what can I do if I find it? This is the lifeblood of the Dark Army. The Dark Army must have heavy troops to defend, so this road is also blocked.
This is strength. If you use strength to push it over, no matter what method you use, it will be useless. This is the kingly way of war. The tricks of war are indeed very useful sometimes, but in the face of the powerful strength of the enemy, a little trick can no longer determine the victory.
A general suggested carefully: "I think the tactics of the Dark Sinner are definitely not what Kasso thought of. They should be the ones in black Shura. We might as well find Kaigula. I think Kaigula should have a way to crack this tactic." Ovart's face turned pale when he heard it. If you want to say who he hates the most in this world, it must be Kaigula, but he did not object.
Four hours later, Kegula had already received the report. He looked at it and said with a wry smile: "My second brother, you are too cruel. You just ate one of our legions in one day. What should you do if you ask me to do?" He had no other way, so he summoned his generals to come to a meeting to study.
Lexington said: "Your Highness, this is not easy to deal with. It seems that Aowatt has no help. Our losses are too great." "We can still bear the loss of a legion. However, if this continues, the Eastern Theater Command will be broken in less than half a month. At that time, it will not be just a demon-destroying fortress, but a few kingdoms and two empires. If this is true, let alone Aowatt can't bear it, even we can't bear it." Although Kaigula and his kingdom of Dawn participated in the battle, it is also a sequence of battle. If the Battle of Light and Darkness is defeated, they will also share the responsibility.
Srithkos thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, this tactic of the Dark Army is simply unsolvable. I can't think of any way to crack this tactic." "Faced with this tactic, the best way is to not fight them head-on, but to use guerrilla tactics to make their magic cannon useless. However, now our army is defending and the Dark Army attacking. In this way, even if our army wants to fight guerrilla warfare, we cannot do it. In the case that our army can only fight head-on with the enemy, I think that the tactics that our army can currently use is to mobilize more magicians and magic cannons to reinforce, especially the magician troops, and also to increase the defensive power of the defensive magic arrays, and take this opportunity to consume the enemy's magic shells."
Rilauton frowned and said, "Your Highness, this tactic is too conservative. Wouldn't our army be beaten?" "I think your highness's opinion is correct. At present, our army does not have any good ways to deal with them. We can only strengthen our own defense. However, Your Highness, the number of magic cannons in our army is limited, and we cannot use it on the city walls, so I am afraid that this tactic is not so easy to use."
Kegula smiled bitterly and said, "When I was building the fortress, I made suggestions, thinking that our army's defense line was too thin, and if the enemy broke through, the consequences would be very serious. However, what would I do if Aovat, who was in charge of the construction of the fortress defense line, would not listen to me? In this regard, I admire the Shura guy. He actually built three defense lines. Therefore, facing his Dark Demon Empire, it is not so easy for us to break through his defense line. On the contrary, some generals of our army think that we are stronger than the Dark Army, and the Dark Army cannot break through our defense line. Now, the consequences are already very obvious."
It was the second day that Owat received Kaigula's suggestion. After receiving the report, he smiled bitterly and ordered: "All the legions have drawn out 500,000 magicians to go to the Eastern Theater Command to support the Demon-Destroying Fortress, and also order the rear to transfer all the magic cannons." He thought for a while and then ordered: "Appoint the Lieguang Empire to draw out three million magicians to go to the Demon-Destroying Fortress within three days, notify the temple of the capital of the Lieguang Empire, and ask the bishop to come forward and explain the battle situation, so that they can organize reinforcements as soon as possible." The messengers immediately went to convey the order.
As soon as the Lieguang Empire received the order, it began to mobilize urgently. All the magicians from the Magician Guild were mobilized and set out to the Demon-Destroying Fortress immediately. Even the magicians from all the surrounding kingdoms would ask for mobilization. However, if these magicians had to wait for these groups of magicians to arrive on the battlefield, it would take as long as five days. These five days were difficult for Lei Lies.
One day on February 25, the Light Army sent troops to clean up the battlefield and clean up the bodies of colleagues who had already died in battle. The Dark Army was also doing the same thing. The weather was too hot and there were too many people dead. If the battlefield was not cleaned up, it would probably not take long to break out a large-scale plague. Nearly 30 million dead people had covered the Demon-Destroying Fortress with a very heavy shadow.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the magicians on both sides also used magic to purify the battlefield once. After completely eliminating the hidden dangers of the plague, this post-war cleaning was over. However, this was not the end of the war, but the beginning of a new tragic battle.
Reese received the order from Awat and smiled bitterly. Although Awat had mobilized millions of magicians to support him, the distance water could not save the nearby fire. I was afraid that the Demon-Destroying Fortress would have to pay a blood price to block the attack of the Dark Army in the next few days. He issued an order: "Order the 22nd Legion to enter the fortress. Give orders to the 24th Legion and the 25th Legion to let them set off immediately and support the fortress." Since it was necessary to use the price of blood, then just transfer troops. Apart from sending the soldiers to the battlefield, Leiles had no choice but to think about it.
