In the military tent on the other side, the officers and staff under Calasias were discussing how to attack.
A staff officer said: "As the advance army, we are basically lightly armed and simple. All the heavy weapons used to attack the city are captured materials. If we attack the city by force, it will be detrimental to casualties. We just had a brief exchange of fire and we have nearly
Two hundred casualties, we don’t know how many people will be lost in a hard attack.”
Another officer said: "Is it possible to bypass the pass and march directly to the hinterland of Midgart? I have seen some classic cases in the history of the mainland. Many strong and strong defense lines have been rendered useless due to the defeat of the rear.
It has no effect."
The blond woman wearing a tight black leather jacket and a large fur coat, Predator Rose disagreed and said: "The spies I sent in advance have already explored Midgart. The Queen of Midgart is very interested in our sending troops."
Be alert, she had already started preparing for the possible invasion when we were still on the west coast. After we invaded Toliba, she had already ordered people to strengthen fortifications on the western and northern borders of the country. She only heard that our troops entered the desert.
, she predicted that we would invade southward, and sent letters to neighboring countries, and at the same time increased the investment of troops on the borders in the northwest two directions."
"This stinky woman is really cautious. But we marched from the desert and then moved south suddenly. How did she know?"
"It's possible that the sand pirates in the desert discovered us and tipped them off."
Rose continued: "The territory of Midgart is not very large. There is no point in bypassing the border. Instead, we will fall into the attack of several pass defenders in the northwest and the central army of the Kingdom of Midgart. Moreover, although the territory of Midgart is
Although it is small, it has always practiced the practice of strengthening the country with elite troops. Many domestic generals, including teachers from the academy, have studied abroad. The strength and quality of the army are not the same as those of the rotten countries on the west coast. And our vanguard army only has 25,000 people.
There is no chance of winning under heavy siege."
Calasias nodded slightly: "I know this. The general of Midgard, Jean Recher, studied with me in Saint Vicoia. I know his abilities and style very well. He is definitely not that kind of degenerate."
Those who indulge in sensual pleasures in the drinking pool."
An officer asked: "What is the relationship between this Jean Reche and the two defenders Jean Hus and Jean Hussan who are imprisoned opposite us?"
The military counselor said: "The Jean family is the most prominent family in the Kingdom of Midgart. It has controlled nearly half of the military power of the Kingdom of Midgart for many years. According to intelligence, Jean Reaches, Hus and Hu Sang are brothers.
, is the half-brother. However, although the Jean family holds great power in Midgart, they are very loyal to the Midgart family. Their ancestors have been loyal to the Midgart family for seven generations. They were once neighboring countries.
There have been many attempts to separate the relationship between the Jean family and the Midgart family, but they have failed. Moreover, Jean Reaches and the Queen of Midgart are cousins, and the sister of Jean Reaches's mother is the queen of Midgart.
Mother, sir, if you want to make up your mind in this regard, I’m afraid it will be difficult to do so.”
Before the officer could speak, he just showed interest in the relationship, but was blocked by the military staff officer, so he had no choice but to say no more.
The military staff member said: "Looking at it this way, the best way is to wait until the subsequent war equipment arrives. However, the enemy will inevitably have reinforcements. The marshal has asked us to reduce casualties as much as possible. This is also the best option.
A safe choice.”
Calasias looked at the battle map behind him and the sand table in front of him and said: "But I want to capture this pass today. You, I and many people here, although they are from different countries, have just joined them.
Before long, we had never fought a decent battle, so we asked them for help when we encountered the slightest difficulty. This was too embarrassing for us soldiers. Now that we have become one of them, we must let them take a good look at our strength and
value."
Some of the officers in the tent joined the "pirates" voluntarily, and some were not so voluntary, but Friedken gave them trust and allowed them to have full control of an army. They should also repay this trust. And that's it.
As Calasias said, although their country collapsed quickly, it was caused by the decay of the political system. They still retained a little dignity as soldiers.
Black Knight Volo pointed to the sand table and said: "I see there is a river marked here, but why is there no mark on the combat map?"
The military officer said: "This river is not constant. It is formed by the rains in this area some time ago. Marshal Fried has a detailed understanding of the climate changes in this area south of the desert. He said that this season
, the warm and humid air currents from the ocean in the south of the continent move northward and encounter the cold current coming from the desert in the north, so rainy weather will form. In fact, there is not much rainfall here in a year. From the south of Shabazhou, the most important rainfall throughout the year is concentrated in
Winter and summer, especially late winter, are the most common. It is precisely because there is rain here every year that it blocks the erosion of the desert from the south. This intermittent river was only discovered through the reconnaissance of the scouts after we arrived here.
"
Warlow asked: "How deep is this river? How wide is it?"
"This..." No one else spoke, so Jun Jian could only say: "I haven't measured it specifically. But I have looked and the average width is 8-10 meters, but the water depth should not be very deep. The water flow from north to south is not very deep.
urgent."
Calasias looked at Volo: "Do you think this river can be used?"
Volo pointed and said: "Judging from the direction of this river, it flows to the rear of the city gate on the opposite side. Can we send a light soldier to go south along the waterway, sneak into the enemy's rear, and then cause chaos by attacking from both front and rear?
It is very easy to capture this pass. However, the difficulty is that this light force cannot be discovered by the enemy's reconnaissance personnel when passing by, so it is best to operate at night. This river is not a permanent river. Although the enemy's city defenses are tight, they are not suitable for
The river probably doesn't take it that seriously."
Calascia held his chin and looked at the direction of the river in the sand table: "Dividing the troops by water is no different from taking the land route. The key point is to be unexpected. Although this river appears temporarily, it may be a weak point in the enemy's defense, but be lenient if you anticipate the enemy."
, we cannot think of the enemy as an idiot, although there are indeed few decent generals in the small countries in the southern desert area. We have all noticed such a big river, so it is impossible for the brother surnamed to not notice it. If the enemy discovers it, there is nothing we can do
There is no point in sneaking behind enemy lines quietly."
"But we can give it a try." Volo said: "We can reduce the number of people as much as possible and send more elites, especially people with strong guarding capabilities. We should be prepared to respond if we are discovered during the operation, so that even if we fail
If we succeed, we won’t lose much.”
Predator Rose, who was looking at the sand table thoughtfully, suddenly said: "I have an idea, we can poison it."
"To poison, you mean to put it into the river?" The military staff officer and other officers all laughed: "That's impossible. How much poison would you have to poison such a big river? And they may not drink the water in the river.
To take a step back, even if they drink the river water, won’t they notice if we put poison into the river?”
Rose said: "As the staff just said, the climate here is different from that of the west coast, and rain is usually scarce. For countries with scarce water resources, it is impossible for them not to drink from such rivers. I have known the nearby residents, and almost every household
Have the habit of storing water."
An officer frowned and said, "But don't forget, this is war time, and the enemy will be more vigilant during war. Maybe they can use magic to store water to drink?"
Rose smiled: "Oh, that's unlikely. Of course, they will be more vigilant during wars, but magicians are always ready to deal with battles in order to preserve their physical strength and magic power. Although the water element in the air is more abundant and active these days, they will not be able to do so in large quantities.
It consumes magic power to provide drinking water for all soldiers in the army. And although the drinking water gathered by magic can be absorbed by the human body, it is difficult to use for cooking. Just like a house made of condensed earth elements, once the blessing of magic power is lost, the result will be
The formed earth wall will soon decompose into elemental state and dissipate in the air, as will the water condensed by magic. Their army has thousands of people, and it is impossible for all the animals to eat and drink using the saved water resources. In order to facilitate the shortage of water,
Seasonal use, so they must use water from the river."
The officer said: "There are also the third and first questions. How did you poison without them discovering it, and how did you get such a large amount of poison? If you use poison magic to pollute the water source, you will definitely be discovered. This
Although a river is a temporary flow, what if there are fish in the river? These fish will also be poisoned and will still be discovered when the time comes. Or is it that if someone eats it, they will die, but the fish will not die after eating the poison?
The important thing is, where did you get so much poison?"
Rose said: "The poison I'm talking about is not the kind that can kill people if eaten. In fact, it can't be regarded as a poison. When I was a child, I drank a kind of tea brewed with 'Green Elf', which is said to be used for detoxification."
.As a result, I had diarrhea all day after drinking it. As long as we put its juice into the water when the enemy is about to eat and cook, they will be able to suffer from it tonight. And the fish will definitely be fine after eating it.
"
Everyone was wondering: "What is the 'green elf' you are talking about?"
"Wait a minute." Rose ran out of the military tent and came back within half a minute, holding a leaf in her hand: "No, this is it."
The officer saw these ordinary leaves: "Isn't this just a weed? There are them everywhere nearby."
Rose nodded and said, "That's right. This kind of grass is called green bud taro, also called green elf taro. When I was sick when I was a child, an old wizard gave me this tea. I would have diarrhea as soon as I drank it. It's absolutely
It’s effective. Many military horses and herbivorous beasts will eat this thing, so it must be fine if the animals eat it. Even if a fish has diarrhea after eating it, it won’t be visible in the water, right? Can fish have diarrhea?”
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. They really didn't pay attention to this weed-like thing.
Rose said: "There are green buds and taros everywhere around here. We collect them and twist the juice into the river. Even if the effect is not that strong, it will always have some effect."
Calasias nodded: "Okay, no matter what, this is still an idea. You will know if it works if you try it. Anyway, there is no loss."
