When Shen Yi got up early in the morning and went to the restaurant to have breakfast, he habitually picked up the newspaper next to him.
Looking up, a line of headlines comes into view:
"War breaks out!"
On July 14, 357 in the calendar year of the Yrent Empire, the two continents of the Yrent Empire and the Tianlu Dynasty joined forces and formally declared war on the Lion Heart Kingdom.
The Arent Empire troops left Twin Peaks City and launched an attack on Salva, firing the first shot of the mainland campaign. The Tianlu Dynasty launched an army of 200,000 troops to launch a siege on the city of San Sijos.
The fierce battle ended one day later. The Arart generals were unparalleled in their bravery, killed countless enemies, and exhausted their courage. It was expected that Salva would be captured within two days, and then they would drive all the way in and completely liberate the entire Lion Heart Kingdom within five days.
Of course this is just what the newspaper said.
"It's all nonsense." After reading the newspaper, Shen Yi shook his head and smiled.
In fact, Shen Yi already knew the battle situation as early as yesterday.
On the first day of the battle, the two countries not only failed to take advantage, but suffered some small losses.
Because they had received the news in advance, the Empire of Gods and Demons immediately mobilized six corps, totaling 300,000 people, to defend two large cities.
In addition, Shen Yi also told the Lion Heart Kingdom through gentleness, letting them know that the Arrent Empire would not mobilize the Fourth Army, which was good at dealing with air forces, in the early stages of the war, so he arranged for the Flying Dragon Army to go to Salva early.
The Yarantes, who originally thought that the Flying Dragon Legion would fight against the Tianlu Dynasty, suffered a small loss and suffered a lot of casualties under the fierce offensive of the Flying Dragon Legion.
On the other side, it was also Hong Lang and others who tipped off the Royal Guards Corps during the war and taught the Tianlu Dynasty a harsh lesson.
In the end, the three parties ended the war with a loss ratio of 1 to 2. The Lionheart Kingdom had the upper hand. However, considering the terrain factors, the three countries were still able to accept this exchange ratio of combat power.
In return for selling information on the enemy's movements, Gentle Fatty each received a skill scroll.
Super Stealth skill scroll and Blessed Hammer skill scroll.
Blessed Hammer: Attacks targets within 200 meters, causing 280 points of damage, with a 2-second stun effect, 3 times the damage effect on energy shields and mecha defenses, consuming 12 points of mental power, and has a three-minute cooldown.
Wen Wen doesn't plan to learn the super stealth skill. She already has the Dark Boots that can make her invisible. Although they are only effective at night, it would be a waste to learn them again, so she plans to sell them or transfer them to others to learn.
Blessed Hammer is a very powerful temple skill. It is not only a stun skill, but also a long-range skill. The damage is not low, and it is more effective against mechas and energy defense.
Fatty learned this skill, and Ya indeed lacked regular attack skills, and happened to have an empty slot in the skill bar.
"It is indeed nonsense, but if we continue to fight like this, it will be detrimental to the Lion Heart Kingdom after all, right?" Chu Sheng asked Shen Yi on the side.
"That is inevitable. Now they still have a strong city to defend, and they can rely on their geographical advantages. Once Salva and San Sijos are lost, the military advantages of the two countries can be brought into play, and then the Lionheart Kingdom will be in danger." Shen Yi answered casually.
"How long do you think this will take?"
"It depends on the courage of the two countries and the sacrifices they are willing to make. However, under normal circumstances, it takes up to three days to capture the border cities. Once the border is breached, seven days is theoretically enough to capture the entire territory."
"So fast?" Chu Sheng exclaimed: "You mean a continental hegemony can be concluded in just ten days?"
"Well, don't forget that this is not the earth as we understand it. The mobility of this world is much stronger than that of the earth."
There are many factors that determine the duration of a war, including logistical support, soldier actions, enemy tenacity, etc.
Regardless of resistance, the mobility of soldiers is the first factor. In a devastating war, the time it takes to occupy the entire territory is usually directly proportional to the advancement time of the soldiers.
This speed of advancement was best explained in the U.S. war against Iraq. The Americans almost entered Baghdad unimpeded. Of course, long-term and stable occupation is another matter.
In the Wushuang world, the mobility of soldiers from the three continents far exceeds that of the Earth. Just think about how a war mobilization only takes three days to complete, and you can understand how terrifying this mobility is.
Wenwen completed the round trip from Lionheart Kingdom to Central City in just two days.
Therefore, if the resistance is weak, it is not uncommon to capture the entire territory within ten days. Shen Yi's estimate is already conservative.
"What if the resistance factor is also included?"
After thinking for a while, Shen Yi replied: "...Twenty days."
"Can we only delay it for ten days?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because they are too brave." Shen Yi replied.
This answer shocked Chu Sheng:
Shen Yi has explained: "War is a game for warriors and a chess game for wise men. However, in the unparalleled world, there are no so-called wise men. Because what determines whether a person can become a general is not his tactical literacy, but his own combat ability. The pursuit of strength makes people in this world have almost no decent tactics. Relying on force to fight bravely is what they are really good at. The two armies are fighting and fighting to the death. Retreating means defeat, and defeat means defeat. Death, this idea has penetrated into almost everyone's consciousness. Even if you want to tell them the essence of guerrilla warfare, they will not understand it and will only think you are a coward. Whether it is Yarant, Lionheart or Tianlu, they are all the same in this respect. They also understand tactics, but all tactics are used in head-on confrontations, such as dividing and attacking together, attacking from the east and attacking from the west, diagonal formations, etc. They all know it. But like interspersed and roundabout , deploying defenses in layers and cutting off the logistics, they don’t understand it, or even if they understand it, they don’t pay attention to it.”
He approached Chu Sheng: "They are more accustomed to fighting each other in an array, killing the enemy or being killed by the enemy. The one who survives is the winner. Knowing how to use formations and various war instruments is the limit of their war wisdom. .In this case, how long do you think it will take for a war to be decided?"
Chu Sheng opened his mouth, and finally sighed: "It really doesn't take long."
It's like two teams of soldiers standing there holding heavy machine guns and firing at each other. The result will naturally come out very quickly.
"Is this also your fault?" he asked Shen Yi.
Shen Yi nodded: "From the beginning, I have deliberately avoided all tactics that might delay time...I do not allow them to exist in this world." Shen Yi replied.
For an adventurer, a mission that can only be carried out for a month must be based on high efficiency, otherwise he will not be able to establish two companies in a few days.
The same goes for war, everything must be based on efficiency - if you can't have twice the time, then have twice the efficiency.
Chu Sheng couldn't help but mutter: "Damn it, if that's the case, there's no reason for the three continents to exist until now. They should be unified after a casual war."
There is indeed no reason for this kind of duel-style war to exist for many parties for a long time.
Shen Yi replied calmly: "Because history has never existed."
———————————
Twin Peaks.
Zhou Yiyu is standing at the top of the city and looking into the distance. From here, he can vaguely see Salwa opposite.
The daytime attack left the walls of Salva in ruins.
In the era of giant ships and cannons, this kind of ancient city wall can still play a role, not because the stone here is hard enough, but because the city wall of the Lion Heart Kingdom has been reinforced by the alchemy array. Not only does it have such a thing as a magic defensive shield, The walls can even repair themselves.
In order to break through the defense, the Arart Empire deployed 300 heavy artillery pieces to bombard the city wall of Salva during the day, and the opponent counterattacked with a large-scale spell. In the end, the Arart Empire lost more than 60 heavy artillery pieces on the city wall. A gap was opened, followed by attacks from all major legions in turn.
The battle stopped after a day of stalemate. The blasted city wall was re-healed under the influence of the alchemy array. The nine alchemy towers in the city flashed in the air, as dazzling as the stars in the night, weaving a magical canopy in the sky. .
"Looks beautiful, right?" Atkins' voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Zhou Yiyu looked back and saw Atkins standing on his right with his arms folded, also looking at the alchemy tower in the sky in the distance.
"A very powerful alchemy formation, the barrier foundation of the Lionheart Kingdom. It's hard to imagine how they developed the alchemy formation to this point." Atkins sighed.
The alchemy formations of the Gods and Demons Continent, the elixir talismans of the Xianxia Continent, and the various high technologies of the Science and Technology Continent are all what they are best at.
"It's just like it's difficult for them to understand our technology." Zhou Yiyu replied.
"Indeed." Atkins smiled: "But no matter how powerful it is, it will always be breached, and tomorrow will be its end."
Zhou Yiyu was stunned: "The energy supply of the alchemy array seems to be able to last for at least three or four days."
"Yes, but we don't plan to wait that long. The military has decided to send an elite team to sneak into Salva tonight and directly destroy the nine alchemy towers."
"Why so anxious?"
"Because according to the agreement, whoever captures the city will belong to it," Atkins replied.
Zhou Yiyu understood.
It was obvious that both Yarante and the Tianlu Dynasty were eager to capture the city and marched as far as possible to seize as much territory as possible.
With territory, there will be stronger strength, more technology, and better development!
"How's it going? Are you interested in joining?" Atkins asked, which was why he told Zhou Yiyu the plan.
Zhou Yiyu asked: "How to break through the city defense?"
"Don't worry about this. The military has developed a batch of mechas with stealth effects. As long as you put them on, you can sneak into the city."
The stealth mecha is also a special armor designed by Shen Yi and others. It complements the Colossus of the God of War. It was developed by another large company with the same name as Enke Company, but the price is more expensive.
Unexpectedly, this time, the military department was willing to take them out.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Yiyu replied: "What is the reward?"
Atkins thought about it and answered: "Due to the limited number of mechas, only ten people can go to each alchemy tower at most. The military department is responsible for allocating ten stealth mechas. If the mission is completed, the mechas belong to the executor, and there is no need to
It will be handed in, but no extra will be given. The military department has made a total of 180 contributions for this mission. You can get 20 contribution points for each alchemy tower destroyed. We plan to send nine teams. I plan to give it to you.
Reserve a spot for your team.”
"I give up." Zhou Yiyu replied.
Sending out ninety people to infiltrate the enemy city and destroy the alchemy tower will result in a narrow escape regardless of success or failure. Taking such a huge risk can only result in 180 contribution points. This may be normal for adventurers.
For Zhou Yiyu and others, the pay-return ratio is simply too low - those who are used to eating meat will find it difficult to chew bones anymore.
Seeing that Zhou Yiyu didn't agree, Atkins didn't force it and just left.
Zhou Yiyu confirmed that there was no one around him, turned on the intercom and said in a secret language: "Be careful to sneak in secretly, target: nine alchemy towers."
Without the consent of the Broken Blade Team, no one can easily take over this city!
