Facing the enemy's simple digging tactics, Lorraine also scratched his head in frustration.
No matter what kind of fire, water, or poison, there is no reason why Hadou couldn't think of any tricks he could think of.
Covering a large trench array with a radius of three to four miles, there are really too many things that can be hidden in it.
The enemy occupies an absolute advantageous location, and even if he throws in 20,000 to 30,000 people, he is not absolutely sure of driving them away.
Although he had an absolute superiority in troops, Lorraine was not that stupid to throw the soldiers into dangerous areas and play with him on the map drawn by Hadu.
Lorraine even considered whether to use brute force to transport earth from the rear to fill in all the trenches in this area. This was the most direct and thorough method.
However, after mentally calculating the amount of work, Lorraine could only put this idea aside.
If he fills the trench himself, it is impossible for the Southern Army not to come out and interfere. In this case, the progress of the project can be imagined.
Lorraine sighed helplessly and cursed in her heart: If I had to hire two contractors in my lifetime, who could be better than my compatriots in digging and filling holes?
Vera had been sitting next to Lorraine. At this time, she was secretly surprised. She leaned into Lorraine's ear and asked: "Master, what is this contractor? So powerful? What a hundred thousand legions cannot do, two contractors
Is that enough?"
Vera felt dissatisfied with her pride as a dragon. How could anyone be more powerful than a dragon?
Lorraine said absently: "There are alien creatures that are much more powerful than this."
"Oh," Vera nodded obediently, feeling relieved. It turned out to be from another world, so of course it was possible.
Facing the enemy's densely packed trenches, the generals were at their wits' end and could not come up with any quick and effective method.
After arguing all afternoon, I still couldn't find a suitable solution.
Their opinions were almost the same as what Lorraine thought. Either they could level the trap with the strength of their numbers, or they could simply leave tens of thousands of people to surround Desai City while others continued to go south. Anyway, there were many peacekeeping troops.
Lord Lorraine looked at the time and saw that it was not early. These guys had dried up their saliva from the quarrel and were still chattering.
He had no choice but to announce a temporary adjournment of the meeting and tell those generals to get out, so that they would not have to quarrel in front of his ears.
Let them go back and mobilize their men to find a way. Anyway, the urgency is not just one or two days.
But it is estimated to be difficult. Trench warfare was used by everyone from World War I to World War II, and they are still enjoying it until now. There is no direct and effective way to crack it.
Lord Luo was sitting alone in the tent, looking at the densely packed bunkers and trenches marked on the map, feeling a little depressed. This was drawn by a mage in the air. It was not very accurate, but very detailed. The trenches surrounding the city.
They are all clearly depicted.
It looks like a real spider web on the map, with the spider weaving the web, the city of Desai, in the center.
What Sir Alex hates the most is this kind of player who only knows how to build bunkers. He is also known as the little prince of bunkers.
When I used to work in an Internet cafe, I worked hard to build bunkers, spires, light towers and other defensive buildings, and my old nest was as hard as an iron-shelled turtle.
Whenever Sir Alex met this kind of guy, he would always wish he had just spent 500 yuan to buy new shoes, stepped on the hot dog shit on the street, and finally breathed on that dog's face.
mlgbd~!
Build bunkers everywhere, and let Sir Alex bite you like a dog biting a hedgehog... Bah, bah, bah, no matter what, Sir Alex will have no way to attack.
The meaner one was still yelling lewdly, "Come and hit me, come and hit me." Hateful, Lorraine really wanted to hit him.
Lorraine Kong had much stronger troops than the enemy, but in the face of this man-made complex terrain, the superior troops could not be deployed at all.
In order to break through the enemy's defense line, one can only send troops to attack bit by bit, and then hold on to one section after chewing it. This has become a typical tactic of adding fuel to the fire. You have to constantly send more soldiers to fight with the enemy.
, is actually a taboo for military strategists.
Not only that, after Lorraine looked at the map, he saw that the entire trench array was connected to the river beside the city.
As soon as he scooped it out, the enemy opened the gate and released water, flooding the area, and they took it back without fighting...
The entire defense system is extremely powerful, just like the ancient city of Babylon.**
If you want to capture such a complex defense line, it will not only be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but you must also be prepared to pay a huge price of casualties. It is possible for the enemy to make a one-to-one exchange ratio. Lorraine will not accept the sacrifice of a fringe city.
The loss was between 10,000 and 20,000 casualties.
Under such circumstances, even if you win the battle, there won't be much glory.
Even if he relied on manpower to build the city of Desai, this also proved the success of Hadou's trench warfare. Hadou would dig trenches throughout half of the southern province. Lorraine had no doubt about this.
This is what annoys Sir Alex the most.
Moreover, as the only passage leading to General Hardou's lair, Halligad, there is no way around it. This is just like when American soldiers attacked Iwo Jima. Although it is difficult, it is the only way.
If we only encircle without attacking, Desai City will always be stuck in its own logistics line, as if it is stuck in its throat.
Looking at the dense tunnels, Lorraine sat on a chair, crossed his hands, held his chin, and thought hard for a long time. In the end, he still couldn't find any good way, so he had to say bitterly: "If this is poisonous, then...
alright."
In the past, Sir Alex would have hated the kind of weapon that could give birth to a son without a penis, but now he sees its benefits.
The poisonous gas is heavier than air and will only spread along the ground. As long as it is released with the wind, the poisonous gas will spread throughout the trench and kill all the puppies inside.
There is no need to expend any effort here, the army can just drive over and receive it.
It’s so cool~!
Unfortunately, poison gas is too dangerous, and he is also afraid that something will happen to Lorena.
She only has theoretical experience, and Luo Linna knows little about it, so it is easy for something to happen during the experiment.
Lorena is a bold master, so Lorraine issued extremely strict safety orders.
The research and development work on this poisonous gas has also been extremely slow.
Even the preparation in the laboratory is only in the initial experimental stage, let alone being put into actual combat.
Moreover, if poison gas is used, it can easily be misunderstood by ordinary people as a dark spell, and the impact will be really bad.
Even if his own child is the boss of the Holy See, it would still be troublesome to explain.
Lorraine never intended to put the poison gas into practical use.
The only way now is to use grenades on a large scale when encountering enemy resistance. When you see any signs of trouble, throw dozens of grenades at them to drive away the enemies. Then let the soldiers rush to occupy them, and they have to be on the top
While blocking the enemy's attack, they quickly blocked some trenches to prevent the enemy from being flooded...
Just when he was thinking about specific tactics and pulling his hair in distress, he heard someone next to him whisper: "Commander, Commander..."
Lorraine couldn't help but be startled: I didn't see that the commander-in-chief was busy here, so who could be so ignorant that he would bother him at this time?
He turned around angrily and saw a young guard standing in front of him, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
The man was startled when he saw Lorraine's unhappy face, and became even more timid.
When Lorraine saw him, he looked familiar.
This young man was sent by the Holy See. He was only twenty years old, with a hint of immaturity on his face. He was a new recruit.
It is said that he is distantly related to Hilmeria's family and has a good relationship with her.
He is also regarded as the Duke's brother-in-law, so naturally he cannot be too disrespectful. Otherwise, His Majesty the Pope will never give him any face if he knows about it.
What if she gets angry and hits her son to vent her anger?
Lorraine couldn't help but smile and said, "Xius, what's the matter?"
The guard hurriedly saluted, and then said: "Commander, I know I shouldn't disturb you at this time. But... here's the thing, there is a southern nobleman named Rufus who insists on asking for a meeting. He also said that there is a confidential matter.
I have to report it to the adults."
"Rufus..." Lorraine didn't come back to her senses for a moment, her mind was in a state of confusion, and she was stunned for a while: "This name sounds very familiar..."
The guard looked down at his feet and reminded in a low voice: "Commander, you are such a noble man who forgets things so much. That man is... that middle-aged man. You praised him very well this morning."
Lorraine suddenly slapped her forehead and suddenly realized.
Sir Alex is now in a high position and has a lot of things to do every day. He meets more people than dogs every day. So many people and so many faces, do you want him to remember them all at once?
If your lordship has the energy, he would also like to study the plum blossoms in the gold vase, the futon made of meat, an Eastern priest named Deng Cao...etc., etc., these are the ancient and elegant literature and art.
of.
This Rufus was still his younger brother whom he picked up on a whim. He was just a passer-by, and he didn't care much about it.
He calmed down, then looked outside the tent, and saw that the sky had darkened, and torches were lit everywhere. Unexpectedly, this thinking time passed so quickly, and he couldn't help but murmured: "It's so late, what is he doing here...
…”
But then I thought about it, I would know it when I saw him, so I waved my hand and said: "Forget it, let him come in."
The guard immediately agreed, turned around and walked out quickly.
Not long after, I heard footsteps outside, and then, the guard led a middle-aged man in.
It was Rufus.
Lorraine immediately jumped up from the chair, laughed and greeted him, and said enthusiastically: "Ha, dear Baron Rufus. Why are you so interested in coming to my place?"
Seeing him smiling with four white teeth, a bright face, and a relaxed and happy expression, the guard next to him couldn't help but secretly grinned: Look at how enthusiastic the lord is. Who knows that he didn't even think of who the other party was?
No wonder I can help my cousin get to the top, this is her ability~!
Seeing Lorraine coming to greet him, Rufus did not dare to neglect him at this time. He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed deeply and said respectfully: "I have met the commander-in-chief. I am visiting you at night and disturbing your rest."
Lorraine waved her hand and said: "No need to be too polite, no need to be too polite. If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk."
As he spoke, he pointed to the chair next to him. At the same time, he also sat down on another chair.
Rufus saw that Lorraine did not return to his handsome seat to sit down, but chose a nearby chair and sat casually at the table as if meeting a friend. A strange light appeared in his eyes.
This is a commander-in-chief with 600,000 soldiers armed to the teeth, the governor of Ruman Province, and one of the leaders of the Flying Eagle Group. A single word can determine a person's life or death, and a single word can determine the prosperity of a country.
They were equally important figures as the Almohad Queen.
In this feudal era with clear hierarchies and strict barriers, officials, especially high officials,
In order to show that you are superior and different, you have to pretend to be good even if you don't know. 13.
Give your subordinates a three-, six-, or nine-level treatment, and set different dress standards.
By the way, I made a seven-gong, eight-yard, eighty-two concubine or something like that, numbered each woman, and I had to look through the number plate before going to bed at night.
Even hanging a butt curtain on his face to show that the air he breathes must be different from that of his subordinates.
In a word, it is to let everyone see who is the boss at a glance.
Even General Hadou is not immune to this.
Although his score is not big, he has also arranged for himself a tiger bodyguard, a six-horse carriage and so on.
He strictly demands himself according to the treatment standards of a generation of vassal kings, and there is never any sloppiness.
And this Sir Alex is the Flying Eagle God of War who defeated Hadou. He should have set up a bigger show and pretended to be 13.
But he is so approachable and approachable, without the aloofness of a high-ranking official. No wonder he became a god of war. He really has his own merits.
Seeing him looking at her blankly, Lorraine couldn't help coughing and said: "I said, Lao Lu, we are all happy people, please give me a happy word, what is the matter with me today?
Let me start by saying, drinking flower wine or something like that is not necessary. I really can’t live without people here.
If you have anything to do, talk, talk. We buddies are talking to each other, and there is nothing we can't talk about.
Even if you borrow money, there is absolutely no problem. I know several loan sharks... bah bah bah, there are several personal finance companies who guarantee the best rate and give you a 93% discount."
Rufus couldn't help but smile bitterly: This man's nickname is "Three Feet High in the Sky". He is a well-known master of land scraping. No one can borrow money from him.
He suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to Lorraine, and said with a serious expression: "Commander, I have important information to report to you."
Lorraine was startled and said with some disappointment: "Is there really any information? I thought I was invited to drink flower wine, and I was excited for a long time in vain."
In Lorraine, local aristocrats would come to set up shop at night, probably to build relationships. The best place to go out is of course entertainment venues.
Rufus couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and said: "Commander, what did you say?"
Lorraine waved her hand and said: "Nothing, nothing more. Tell me what important information it is."
"Commander..." Rufus looked around hesitantly and hesitated to speak.
Lorraine laughed and said: "Lao Lu, you are too outspoken. All the people in this account are personal assistants that I trust. Just say whatever you want, and the information will never be leaked."
There was another sentence at the end, but he didn't say it - if the news really leaked, it would be a good thing. Sir Alex would definitely give him a great credit, because his information allowed Sir Alex to dig out a
The spy lurking around.
After saying that, he looked at Rufus with a smile.
Although he was a noble who had taken refuge with him, Lorraine had seen too many of the Almohad nobles' urinary behavior.
These guys are all just wallflowers who have breasts and are mothers. They can rely on themselves today, and they can rely on others tomorrow.
No matter how nice the words are, Sir Alex has always had a clear understanding of them - they are not worthy of trust. At least, they are not worthy of trust until they have not made the achievements they should have and handed in the certificate of nomination~!
Who knows if this guy was assigned by Hadou to lurk here to play with Sir Alex's Infernal Affairs.
If he were to imitate Stauffenberg, who assassinated Brother Xie, and do it for himself, then the prince would be in big trouble.
Rufus looked at the expressionless guard next to him, struggling and hesitating in his heart. However, Lorraine said he was a personal assistant, which made him more credible. He finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, sir."
He paused for a moment, and then said softly: "Sir, it's like this. There is someone in the city who wants to talk to you."
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitate.
Does anyone want to talk to myself? At a time like this?
Sir Alex now has several girlfriends, dozens of sports cars, a forest in his yard, and an entire lake that he uses as a swimming pool in front of his yard.
The most successful people who are so successful are worth dozens of gold coins every minute. How precious is time, can you just meet anyone who wants to?
That prince is too worthless...
But... wait, there's someone in town...
In the city?
Lorraine immediately refreshed and sat up straight.
He looked at Rufus's face and said in a deep voice: "Speak clearly~!"
Under Lorraine's sharp gaze, Rufus sweated on his forehead, forced a smile, and then said: "Commander, my southern nobles have always been loyal to the royal family and the empire, but what about Hadu, that devil?
After he came, he used his powerful force to threaten us.
Moreover, at that time, His Majesty the Emperor was deceived by treacherous ministers.
We have no choice but to lurk for the time being, endure the humiliation and bear the burden, and preserve our usefulness for the future.
Up and down in the south, people look forward to the king's teacher as they look forward to the rain after a long drought..."
Lorraine waved her hand hurriedly and said: "Okay, okay. You should keep these clichés to deceive those naive people. We are all here to fool around, don't play with these lies. Just be serious.
What's going on?"
Rufus took a deep breath and said: "Sir, we southern nobles have recognized the true face of General Hardu... er, the undead lackey of General Hardu, so we want to talk to you.
As long as the general agreed to their conditions, they would personally tie up the Hadou family and bring them to the Lord.
Among them are Earl Andracor, General Rasaul, General Mela, Lord Gurist..."
Lorraine listened carefully to the names and was surprised to find that many of them were close friends of General Hadou, and among them...
He suddenly said: "Rufus, are you mistaken? Count Andracou, that is General Hardou's brother-in-law, and General Mela, as far as I know, he is the father-in-law of General Hardou's eldest son.
Are you here to tell me that these people have betrayed General Hadou?"
