As he listened, a smile appeared on the old magician's originally serious face. He reached out and patted the dwarf: "I have understood that the only reason for defeat is four words: the enemy is in darkness and we are in the dark. Hide in the dark.
The enemy attacked us at an unexpected time, from an unexpected place, in a way and with an unfamiliar force, right?"
Amy's words were spoken quickly like a tongue twister. Horns frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Actually, I don't think the so-called Crab Knight is a big deal. For example, using fire to attack, no crab is not afraid of fire? Another example is hanging fish nets on the city wall. I have never seen a Crab Knight, but when I was on Xilin Island, crabs
Don’t eat less. Although the crab has many claws, it is quite powerful. However, as long as one claw is hung on the fishing net, the crab cannot escape. Is this the way? As for the Sea Otter Knight and the Sea Dragon Knight, these two knights said
Maybe it can't wash ashore at all, so we haven't seen it. Is this possible?" Amy asked while counting her fingers.
"Yes!" Horns blushed a little.
Dwarves, whether they are mountain dwarves or forest dwarves, because they believe in the god of sun and fire, they are never willing to go near water, let alone eat fresh river seafood. Hehe... No one can imagine that he***
Even those who don't like river fresh food and seafood will make mistakes in military service.
Regardless of whether the two methods mentioned by Amy are effective against the Crab Knight, one thing is certain: any good commander must know astronomy and geography, and even be omniscient and omniscient.
In the early days of the "Elf War of the Last 5000 Years", Zhuge, the prairie elf Wuhou who once sang about the empty city strategy, is a clear example. Zhuge was a double master of the wind element and the fire element. The ancients often said that "a new official takes office"
The allusion of "Three Fires" refers to Zhuge. In the face of the dark elves, Cao Mengde, the super king, burned Bowang Slope, Xinye and Chibi. The three fires burned Zhuge's fame for thousands of years.
This is a successful example of Zhuge's familiarity with astronomy and geography.
The same is Zhuge, the same astronomy and geography, and there are times when success fails. Zhuge has a gourd-shaped basin in the hinterland of the Langcang Mountains between the Prairie Elf Alliance and the Fairy Forest. Above Gubu, he set up three buildings in the direction of the Huode Star Palace.
A series of fire forbidden spells were prepared to burn Sima Yi and his son, as well as hundreds of thousands of dark elf coalition troops, alive in the valley above.
It's a pity... Although Zhuge was knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, he failed to perfectly combine astronomy and geography.
The entrance to the upper valley bottom is narrow, the hinterland is wide, the sides are high, and the middle is low. Once a fire breaks out in the valley, the air on the ground will rapidly heat up and expand, causing strong winds. A large number of hot airflows will rise at the bottom of the valley, and the water vapor in the air will increase due to the temperature.
It lowers and condenses into clouds, and the large amount of smoke and dust produced by the burning of firewood rises into the sky with the air, which provides an ideal condensation nucleus for the condensation of water vapor, thereby accelerating the condensation of water vapor.
The small water droplets in these clouds and mist collided and merged with each other. The volume gradually increased, eventually leading to heavy rain. The fire in the upper valley was extinguished, and Sima Yi and his son narrowly escaped.
Amy has read thousands of books, so she naturally knows such allusions. Although the dwarf Horns was also one of the strongest military commanders during the War of the Gods, Horns has always been deficient in non-war direct factors.
This is something that no one can deny or ignore.
"I think the next step is to make a fuss about the enemy's darkness and our light. In doing so, the only thing I worry about is Chi Aotian." Da Qingshan and Horns looked at the serious old magician. The two of them didn't care at all.
Know what Amy is going to say.
Amy took out the news from the Thieves Guild from her arms, which was a copy of the magic made by Amy herself. The two of them had just glanced halfway, and their faces turned ugly?
"This...this..." Horns couldn't speak smoothly: "When did this news come?"
"It has been several days since it reached Tongyunguan. I estimate that this news will reach here in the next two or three days. This news is sent through the Thieves Guild, and no one can block it."
"What should we do? This guy Chi Aotian..." There are not many people who can make Da Qingshan look worried on his face, and Chi Aotian is the one who gives him the biggest headache.
Amy put one hand on Horns' shoulder and the other on Da Qingshan's shoulder. An old magician, a dwarf, and a young man squatted on the ground and touched each other, whispering for a while.
"Is this okay?" Horns was the first to question. The dwarves' integrity meant that they would never say anything to deal with it.
There was also a hesitant look on Da Qingshan's face, and he would not be polite to Amy: "I also think this plan is a bit suspense."
"Then there's no problem!" The old magician patted the shoulders of the two companions heavily: "You two think this matter is a bit suspenseful, so what about Rebaton, General Merlin, and the pirate skeleton legion that we have never met before?
The commander won’t even believe that something like this happened. So, there is at least a half chance of success, so I think it’s worth trying!”
What kind of logic is this? Da Qingshan and Horns looked at each other and were about to express their opinions. Suddenly, there was a faint sound of drums in the distance, followed by a louder horn sound!
"You are really a crow's mouth!" Horns praised Amy fiercely, then squinted his eyes and looked hard in the direction of Moada City, counting while looking: "It's over! Four military flags have been raised.
!I don’t know who moved so fast.”
Lu'er, Lingbao'er and two little boys ran over from a distance: "What's wrong? Is there someone in Moada City who wants to rebel? Why should I watch..."
"Then you go back and take a look first? Lu'er stays here." The old magician looked at Horns and Daqingshan with a half-smile.
"Sigh... Okay, this time it's going to be really difficult." Horns nodded solemnly, and he and Da Qingshan rushed out of the woods to mount their horses and return to the city.
The barracks and the school military field are both on the southeast side of Moyada. As soon as the drum is sounded and the rallying horn is blown, the whole city of Moyada is in chaos! According to the regulations of the military headquarters, the drum is sounded and the rally is started.
When the military trumpet blows, all soldiers, except for important positions, must gather at the school military field. If it is not one o'clock, they will be beaten with 20 military sticks. If it is not two o'clock, they will be beaten with 40 military sticks. If it is not three o'clock, they will be killed!
After several years of war and chaos, the common people knew what was taboo. Those who set up stalls quickly closed their stalls, those who opened shops were busy hanging door panels, and the drivers hurriedly led the animals to the roadside.
The soldiers and mercenaries who were on duty on the streets of Moada City hurriedly began to clean the streets! The sound of intensive horse hooves had already sounded from the city guard's mansion!
Chi Aotian didn't know what happened. Horns was acting strange just now. He didn't understand what Amy was going to do, so he didn't tell the other officers about Amy's return. He just sat down in the meeting hall
As soon as he took a sip of water, he heard the sound of trumpets and drums at the school military field. Chi Aotian thought it was Amy making a surprise attack to check the situation of the ministries in the northern theater.
Listening to the sound of the horn, Chi Aotian rushed to the city gate, his brows completely furrowed! What did Amy mean by this? Why did he only click on the four main armies of the Flower Language Plain Expeditionary Force?
When they arrived at the school military field, the expressions of Chi Aotian and the senior officers behind him all changed!
On the school military field, the officers and soldiers of the four armies of the Tongyunguan Light Knights Corps, the Earthly Dragon Heavy Knights Corps, the Desert Empire Camel Corps, and the Huayu Plains Allied Brigade brought tens of thousands of war horses, Earthly Dragons, and camels.
They came from all directions. Most of the soldiers of the expeditionary force were riding more than one person, and the officers on duty at all levels gathered their troops together with shouts and curses at their throats...
In the middle of this bustling and chaotic crowd, stood three senior officers, one of whom was a young man in his 20s. It was the upstart Grand Duke Qu who was supposed to be in charge of the war on behalf of Chi Aotian in the southeast of Moyada.
Jianhong.
What struck everyone's eyes was that Qu Jianhong and two other senior officers at the level of captain were wearing white filial piety belts around their waists, holding mourning sticks in their hands, and even the mounts around them had them tied around their necks.
Leucorrhea. In the freezing cold of spring, the eyes of the three tough-minded men were swollen to a line.
Without exception, these three officers are all Chimen retainers. There are not many people who can make them pay high filial piety, and there is even less one thing that allows them to dare to directly order generals to gather troops without going through the acting general of the northern theater.
The knights of the Black Dragon Knights also realized what might happen, and each one looked at their commander blankly.
Chi Aotian blankly let the horse trot to the school military field. The black cloak fell off the horse for some reason and fell to the ground. His long black hair was blown up by the wind... Everything
The expedition officers and soldiers subconsciously made way for Chi Aotian.
Qu Jianhong and the other two officers looked at Chi Aotian and opened their mouths. When they opened their mouths again, no words came out. Pink liquid surged outwards from the eyes of the youngest grand duke in the empire...
The three senior officers, who commanded tens of thousands of troops, fell to the ground sluggishly and howled, finally bursting into tears!
For Chimen's retainers, the death of Chi Hanfeng and the death of Marshal Chi Datong are two completely different concepts. Chi Hanfeng is the youngest son, and only the eldest son of Chimen will grow up in Tongyunguan in order to inherit the family, and there are many younger sons.
They all lived in the imperial capital, and Chi Hanfeng's main military career was in several other war zones. Therefore, most of the Chimen's retainers did not have a very close relationship with Chi Hanfeng.
Marshal Chi Datong is the head of the Chimen family and the grandfather of Qu Jianhong and other young officers. These children would go to the Tongyunguan Duke's Mansion to visit the family head every year and festival since they were young. Chi Datong's personality is recognized as straightforward and bold, and he treats these retainers
They treat their offspring better than their own biological children, and they will praise and scold them when they should, and they will take the time to give guidance to the children when nothing happens. This is certainly a way for the Chi family to win over their retainers, but if they are sincere
, so what if it’s a means? People’s hearts are made of flesh! The retainers’ children also treat the old man as their own grandfather.
"What's going on?" Chi Aotian slowly climbed off the horse and stood in front of Qu Jianhong, motionless.
Qu Jianhong and the two current chief officers of the Tongyunguan Light Knights Corps and the Earthly Dragon Heavy Knights Corps opened their mouths with tears streaming down their cheeks, unable to speak at all.
Chi Aotian felt that his hands and feet were cold. In fact, Qu Jianhong could have guessed it without telling him.
Although Horns had kept the news secret from Chi Aotian before, the rebellion of Prince Tiedu had already spread throughout the continent. Marshal Chi Datong, as the chief rebel in Prince Tiedu's usurpation of the throne, was naturally the focus of attention.
Chi Aotian has heard many rumors. For example, some people say that Prince Tiedu is actually the nephew of Marshal Chi Datong; others say that Marshal Chi Datong supported Tiedu's rebellion because Prince Tiedu promised to make Tongyunguan an independent country after the war.
country, and Marshal Chi Datong is the founding emperor of the Tongyun Empire; of course, some people say that Marshal Chi Datong has already died in the battle. The one who is still giving the command in Jie Lin is just a substitute found by Prince Tiedu... In short,
People like Chi Aotian, who doesn't like to socialize and spends most of his time under semi-house arrest, have heard more than 10 different versions of the story.
In the end, after hearing too much, Chi Aotian became immune to most of the news.
Chi Aotian could not have guessed that many rumors were actually spread by Horns. There are two purposes. The first is to make Chi Aotian unable to tell the truth from the false; the second purpose is
Key point: Let Chi Aotian be somewhat mentally prepared. Horns knew that Chi Aotian grew up in the imperial capital and was a cold-hearted person. He was afraid that the death of Marshal Chi Datong would cause too much trouble to Chi Aotian.
Big stimulus.
In the end, it was Qu Jianhong who struggled out of his grief first. He grabbed Chi Aotian's arm. The young dragon knight was so powerful that the soldiers nearby could hear Chi Aotian's bones cracking.
Jingxiang: "Second Young Master, the head of the family...the head of the family is in Jielin...in Jielin..."
The youngest grand duke in the empire fell to the ground again with a grunt, and the whole ground was wet with tears.
At this moment, Horns and Da Qingshan rushed back. Neither of them knew how to face Chi Aotian. However, what was supposed to come came anyway.
"You...all...know?" These words are not like what Chi Aotian said at all. From the first time Daqingshan and Horns saw Chi Aotian, this young voice sounded like a child from the beginning to the end.
It was cold and cold, never without any emotion, let alone like now... There was a tremor in the voice...
Everyone was surprised to find that there seemed to be traces of black air-conditioning in the air that kept gathering towards Chi Aotian.
Horns licked his lips, not knowing how to answer. Da Qingshan also licked his lips, and finally nodded silently.
"Then why didn't you tell me!?" Chi Aotian's eyes were instantly filled with red bloodshot eyes, and he yelled, grabbing Da Qingshan's collar with one hand, and Horns' collar with the other, and pulled the small mercenary group
The first deputy commander and the second deputy commander picked it up in the air.
"Let go, let go quickly!" Gersu, the fourth deputy commander of the small mercenary group, had been in poor health after the First World War in Hamburg. With the help of several prairie elves, he saw the scene in front of him as soon as he arrived at the school military field.
, forced himself to hold on to Chi Aotian's arm.
"What should you advise him to do? Let's see how great the first undead knight of all time will be, and how long he can hold us up?"
All the middle and senior officers and mercenary regiment cadres in the northern theater were even more surprised to hear such cold words than to see Chi Aotian's rude actions - these words actually came from Da Qingshan's mouth!
Chi Aotian was also stunned.
At this time, what Chi Aotian saw in Da Qingshan's eyes was all indifference.
"Knowing this news, the only reason why I didn't tell you is that you should also know... This is also the reason why Horns has replaced all the expeditionary forces from the northern front in the past two months." Da Qingshan continued coldly.
Looking at Chi Aotian, he continued to say coldly: "Of course, don't think that Horns replaced the army for you because of your desire for revenge. Hmph... We are worried about your mischief, and we are worried that you still have
If these Chimen disciples who don’t understand the overall situation act arbitrarily without considering the overall situation, it will eventually lead to the collapse of the entire battle situation, so that’s why we did this.”
"Now, first, you put me and Horns down. Second, you can leave with your original team at any time. Elder Qingluo and Professor Benjamin can go with you, as well as Ling Yun and suddenly Du
I can also send it to you again. Uncle Barbas and the others will also go with you. Don’t come back in the future. This small temple in the northern war zone cannot accommodate the great god, the first undead dragon knight in the ages." Da Qingshan followed one sentence after another, every time
Every word seemed to come from the deepest part of the ten-thousand-year-old ice of Longya Mountains, and it ruthlessly stirred Chi Aotian's spinal cord.
Chi Aotian has never heard such sad, loveless, and righteous words from Da Qingshan. A trace of hesitation fluttered in his black pupils, with a little anger inside, and he threw Da Qingshan and Horns away.
Got out.
Chi Aotian bowed his hands to Da Qingshan and Horns. Without saying a word, he got on his horse. A Tongyunguan knight officer beside him picked up the black cloak that he had dropped on the ground and put it on him again.
"Let's go!" Chi Aotian pulled the reins hard, and the black war horse whinnied loudly and flew away!
At this time, it was obvious that all the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force had heard the conversation just now. Everyone also guessed what happened. Murderous intent, boundless murderous intent, arose among the original members of the expeditionary force!
