Chapter 1874, step by step
If Hassan Medvedev was just planning to attack his coastal base, then, in Luo Ji's opinion, the other party had gone to great lengths to lure his orc army deep into the forest.
The price is a bit too high.
At least along the way, according to Luo Ji's observation, the enemy's loss of Treant troops was already quite astonishing, giving people the feeling that they would lose no matter how hard they tried.
And precisely because of this, Luo Ji felt even more strange.
The battle ended at dusk. In this kind of environment, the most taboo thing is to charge too hard in one go. When the time comes, you will find that you are deeply trapped in the enemy's formation, with no way to retreat.
Therefore, Luo Ji's strategy for this battle is also very clear, which is to advance steadily and fight step by step!
In fact, when the orc army was chasing the opposite tree army and rushing into the depths of the forest, his coastal base at the rear was already in action.
Large machines drove out of his base quickly.
These instruments are one of the latest equipment developed by Goblin Technology. To put it simply, they are wood cutters.
Of course, it is said to be a wood chipper, but in fact it is not that simple.
The biggest highlight of this latest equipment is that the front ends of these machines are detachable. In other words, you only need to purchase the front end of an excavator separately and replace it, and then it becomes an excavator.
If you purchase a separate front end of a wood sawing machine and replace it, it becomes a wood cutting machine. In addition, there are various other front ends that can be replaced.
Although this machine is much more expensive than previous products of the same series from Goblin Technology, considering its multi-purpose advantage, sales were extremely hot as soon as it was launched.
The construction engineering department of their Wanjie Civilization should be the one that has purchased the most machines of this series so far.
When Luo Ji was confirming his strategy, he had already signaled Ye Qingxuan to trade dozens of vehicles for him.
However, this machine is sold very quickly. Even the current Goblin Technology only sells out one machine after it is built, and there is no inventory at all.
As for the batch that has been officially put into use, there are only five in Spiegel City. After all, most of the old machines have not been retired yet. It is impossible to say that all new machines will be replaced immediately as soon as they are released.
.
In this way, Ye Qingxuan first traded the five cars from Mingjing City and let Luo Ji use them first.
Now after the battle, Luo Ji, who was flying back on the Conqueror airship, happened to see the five lumberjacks in use.
Facing the tall and towering trees, after the wood cutting machine approached, the front claws directly grasped the trunk of the big tree. Then, the saw blade installed on the inside quickly turned, and the entire big tree was so light.
He was knocked down easily, and his efficiency was much higher.
However, although the woodcutter is very efficient at cutting down trees, you don’t expect it to be able to deal with Hassan Medvedev’s army of tree men.
Its movements are fast, but that is relatively speaking. If it is against those tree people who can move freely, it will be too clumsy. Its claws may not be able to grasp the target at all, and if it is sent out, it will only get beaten.
After all, the woodcutter is not military equipment, so you can't expect it to show any combat effectiveness.
With the efforts of five wood cutting machines and engineers, part of the lush forest land was cleared before sunset.
And his purpose of doing this is undoubtedly to compress the living space on the opposite side.
Against an opponent like Hassan Medvedev, it is useless just to repel the opponent's army. You also have to destroy the forest land in order to stabilize the advantage you have established in the battle.
Otherwise, the opponent can easily take back all the forest land after nightfall. In this way, his battle during the day will be in vain to a large extent.
Now, the story is divided into two parts, while Luo Ji was busy cutting down trees and collecting building materials for the coastal base.
On the other side, Raphael Barat and Tokugawa Masashige, who were retreating all the way with the foreign coalition forces under their command, obviously looked unhappy.
This is really a ghost. They even couldn't believe it before seeing it with their own eyes.
How did the other party build such a huge coastal base in just a few days? Isn't this incredible?
They originally thought that this so-called coastal base would basically just set up a tent and then build a circle of simple bunkers around the outside, which was the limit.
Taking this as a premise and considering the concealment of the attack, they came out with 30,000 troops.
Who would have thought that when they rushed closer, they discovered that the scale of this coastal base was far beyond their imagination.
In that outer circle, where are some crude bunkers? It’s just barbed wire!
If you give the other side some more time, they might even build a home on that coast!
This wave can simply be said to be a waste of money.
The coastal base was not dismantled, and nearly half of the troops were deployed there.
When thinking of this, Raphael Barat and Tokugawa Masashige's faces turned a little dark.
However, how did they know that this was just the beginning...
There was no talking all night, and early the next morning, Raphael Barat and the others, who were huddled under the quilt in the tent, were awakened by the soldiers under their respective command before the severe cold of winter could wake them up.
"What! What's going on? Noisy?!"
This night, Raphael Barat obviously didn't sleep very well. He seemed to be sleep-deprived. After being woken up, he seemed to be in a very irritable mood.
Upon hearing His Majesty's question, a soldier who was guarding outside the account quickly walked in.
"I'm reporting to Your Majesty that something happened to the wounded soldiers."
"problem occurs?"
Raphael Barrat's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and then he quickly asked...
"What happened?"
"In just one night, the injuries of a large number of wounded soldiers suddenly worsened, and the medical personnel were short of manpower and were about to explode."
In this regard, Raphael Barat's first reaction at the time was...
"The injuries are getting worse. Are they poisoned?"
"no."
While speaking, the soldier shook his head.
"It's not poisoning, it's frostbite, severe frostbite. The wound left by the injury in the battle yesterday suddenly developed severe frostbite and worsened."
"Frostbite..."
After receiving such an answer, Raphael Barat's face was obviously uncertain for a while, and he obviously couldn't figure out why this happened for a while.
In fact, the severe frostbite of the foreign soldiers was entirely due to Luo Ji's water mage group!
