Chapter three hundred and thirty seventh change strategy
"Yong Ye, attack!"
The moment those Kingsli soldiers jumped onto the city wall, the swords that were waiting for them were as if they had been trained in vain.
In order to prevent one blow from being ineffective, three or four Evernight Sabers, or two or three maces, or two or three shields hit the same target at the same time.
First there was a sound like an egg shell breaking, and then there was the crisp sound of a sword entering bones.
The shield is broken and people die.
"Even if it is a battle artifact, it is not invincible."
Seeing such a situation, the leader of the Yongye Army breathed a long sigh of relief from top to bottom. Although it was a bit troublesome, at least he could be killed. The previous shock of not being able to hit the target with long arrows and not being burned to death was alleviated a lot.
"Drive them off the wall, push them all off the wall."
"Cut off the hook, push down the ladder, hurry up and cut off the rope hook."
When the shock subsided, everything returned to the normal process of defending the city.
Because they discovered that these incomparably brave Jinsili soldiers were not truly invulnerable to fire and water, but their resistance had become stronger, and walking for a short period of time would have less impact.
If you stay in the sea of fire for a long time, you will still have to turn into a huge human-shaped torch.
Rather than killing them in a time-consuming and laborious manner, it would be easier to push them off the city walls and burn them alive.
No matter how brave they are, they can't remain calm in the face of such cruel fire. They all wail in pain and have no energy to continue attacking the city.
At this time, the fire resistance brought by the energy shield does not help them, but increases their suffering, allowing them to endure the fire longer before death.
Perhaps because the previous scene was so shocking, everyone seemed to feel that time had stood still. After breathing a long sigh of relief, those watching the battle found that they had broken out in a cold sweat.
Before this, they had heard about the power of the battle artifact and had been guarding against the Kingsley family's move, so they tried to save as much strength as possible in their previous defense.
But hearing about it is one thing, and actually seeing it is another thing entirely.
That kind of situation is really more shocking than the legend, and more mysterious than it sounds.
After all, they witnessed with their own eyes that things that originally existed only in legends appeared in reality.
Compared to the Crocodile Tribe soldiers, the Evernight soldiers accepted this fantasy scene faster.
After all, many people have witnessed similar scenes before this.
Doesn’t the home-produced guardian enchanted equipment have similar effects?
It should be said that it is more mysterious. Although the protection does not last as long and the protection ability is not as comprehensive, once it is activated, it can easily withstand the full blow of the great knight. Legend has it that even the full blow of the champion knight can be offset.
More than half, this is obviously incomparable to the opponent's energy armor.
"Prepare to implement the full-line retreat plan." Sean issued a somewhat unexpected order with a gloomy face.
"Is it a little early? The situation hasn't collapsed to this point yet, right?" Kelman, the main chief of staff, said somewhat surprised, "The opponent is about to be pushed back. We need to defend for a few more days and try our best to
There should be no problem in consuming the Kingsley family’s vitality.”
"The battle artifact is the biggest trump card of the Kingsley family. Either it is not activated, but once it is activated, it means that the other party is ready to fight to the death at all costs. Both Archduke Buck and Achmathe are decisive people and will never take it.
I am using my own elite attack tactics to fuel my attack. I think the Kingsley family is testing the effectiveness of the battle artifact with this wave of attacks. Soon, it will be their moment of general attack." All that was echoing in Sean's mind was gold at the moment.
The magic energy fluctuates as vast as a lake.
That huge energy is not just for arming the few people in front of you, nor can it be exhausted so easily.
If this energy shield is placed on heavy armored infantry, it will be more difficult to kill them under double defense.
"Testing the effect of the battle artifact? Isn't this battle artifact the treasure of the Kingsley family? Don't they still understand the effect of the battle artifact?" Not only Kelman had this question, but others were also shocked.
I am thoughtful.
"Legends and reality are two different things after all. We have heard about the effect of golden armor before, but can you imagine the situation now?" Sean asked back, and without waiting for their answer, he continued, "It's been so long.
There has been no news about the use of the battle artifact. Even the contemporary Buck of the Kingsley family has never really seen the efficacy of the battle artifact. Its energy is too precious and cannot be tested casually. If you were the one, you would
To completely bet the life and death of an army on a piece of equipment that only exists in written records and whose actual efficacy is unclear?"
"No!" Most people shook their heads without hesitation. Even if there was hesitation, it was because of the powerful ability of the golden armor.
"So, make preparations early. If you can't bear it, retreat immediately." Sean said with a solemn expression, "It is important to consume the vitality of the Kingsley family, but it is equally important to preserve your own vitality. If there is a conflict between the two, give priority to the latter.
”
"Understood." Kelman and the military staff nodded in agreement.
This is a major tactical concept of Yongye Army Leader. Tough battles are not unavoidable, but they are based on the premise that they are meaningful enough. Tough battles that are meaningless should be avoided if possible.
"I'm afraid there will be obstacles from the Crocodile Tribe Council of Elders!" Kelman reminded Sean before leaving.
"I know, I will tell them personally." Sean nodded and said, "You just go and prepare."
In the eyes of the Crocodile people, Brother Port is their last line of defense and they will never retreat.
The reason why they had previously safely handed over Brother Port to the Yongye Army Leader for defense was because they believed that the Yongye Army Leader recognized the strategic value of Brother Port and would shed the last drop of blood here just like them.
Now that they were suddenly told to prepare for a full retreat, one can imagine the strong resistance.
"Lord, is this completely inconsistent with the tactics we have agreed on before? The situation at hand has not reached the point of being completely irreversible? Why is there suddenly a plan to retreat across the entire front? Even if we don't burn the boat, we can't do it at such a critical moment.
, are you angry with the soldiers?"
"Now that we have retreated, what will happen to the Swamp of Despair? What will happen to our tribesmen who failed to retreat? Are we just going to be ravaged by the Kingsley family? You saw what those beasts did before. They don't take the Crocodile tribe seriously at all.
As you can see, once we are not here to hold the Kingsley family back, they will attack our people immediately!"
"It was you who advocated holding on to Brother Port before, and now it's you who propose a full retreat. Did you do it on purpose, so that we, the Crocodile Tribe people, can get on your ship and retreat to the Yongye Army with you, so that you can pinch them when the time comes?
round?"
When Sean approached the great elders of the Crocodile tribe, they showed not only resistance, but disbelief on their faces, which was completely beyond their expectations.
Especially the last sentence, which is an out-and-out heart-wrenching statement, directly singling out the biggest contradictions and gaps between the two parties.
Even the four great elders of the Crocodile tribe, who had always dealt with the matter fairly, failed to stand up right away. They looked at Sean with puzzled faces, obviously also very confused about this decision.
Sean was not angry because he was questioned, and patiently explained: "In this world, there is never an unchanging battle plan. Our original battle plan was to bring down the Kingsley family through Brother Port, and then turn around and deal with Common
The Si family's water fleet, but you have also seen what happened just now. The Kingsley family, who activated the battle artifact, is really advantageous on the ground, and our soldiers have been dragged into a weak state by their cannon fodder. When they no longer
When we worry about the casualties of elite soldiers, it is also the time when the city is broken."
"Your Excellency, are you too magnified by others and destroying your own morale? Our soldiers have entered a state of weakness, and the Kingsley family is not much better. No matter how magical the battle artifact is, it will not suddenly change their energy.
At this time, both sides are gritting their teeth and persisting. I don’t believe that the Kingsley family soldiers are all made of steel. After fighting so many battles and killing so many people, those soldiers don’t feel anything at all?"
"The elder is right." Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "But if the war continues, our long-range firepower will be reduced, and we will not only fight for morale, but also for casualties. Our elites are here. Once there are heavy casualties,
, the ending is not optimistic either. What’s the point of even a tragic victory? The Kingsley family has a much stronger foundation than us. If they come back in three or two years, how can we resist? Therefore, what we are considering is not only victory, but also the bigger picture.
win."
"We have to give up our greatest geographical advantage and be driven back to our hometown. How can we talk about a great victory? Don't you think that what you said is inconsistent?" an elder of the Crocodile tribe rebuked unyieldingly.
A strong opponent of the Night Army's retreat.
His people are all in the Swamp of Despair now, and they are not very far from the battlefield. It is still unknown whether they were driven out by the Kingsley family and used as siege cannon fodder.
Although the water transportation in the direction of the Bazhu River has not been cut off, Brother Port is currently not closely connected with other tribesmen in the Despair Swamp.
It's not that they don't want to, but the Crocodile tribe is too scattered. Affected by the war, those Crocodile tribesmen will instinctively avoid the war.
The Crocodile people are different from the farming people. The latter are rooted in the land and have no way to leave it lightly.
The Crocodile people mainly focus on fishing and hunting, and fishing boats are their foundation. As long as there are boats, there is a home. When running as a family, don't be too smooth.
Among the four great elders of the Crocodile Tribe, the great elder Bishop, who is nicknamed the Peacemaker, stood up and said, "Everyone, please be patient. We don't deal with each other every day or two. We all know your Lord's character.
They are definitely not the kind of people who make decisions when their heads are hot. Now that this plan has been proposed, there must be such considerations. No one likes to fail, right! They came to Brother Port not to defeat the war, otherwise they would not be able to do it from the beginning.
Just join the game, as long as they block the Death Channel, no matter how powerful the Commons family's fleet is, they will be helpless, don't you think?"
Although the words of Elder Bishop were suspected of smoothing things over, they were also regarded as solid opinions. The elders of the Crocodile Tribe who had just vented their words became less anxious and could not help but look thoughtful.
The interests of the Yongye Army Leader are consistent with those of the Crocodile Tribe in some respects, and their actions will not do them any good.
"What is your plan, Lord? Why don't you tell us together? We are allies now. If everything is hidden from us, how can we cooperate with you?" Although Bishop was still smiling, he asked in his own way,
"You say so, Lord."
Sean did not deny it, nodded and said: "The great elder is right. We are here to win the war, not to defeat it. We have made two preparations from the beginning. The first plan is of course to defend our brothers.
port, dragging the Kingsley family to death. If the first plan is frustrated, we will retreat to the water and find a way to eat the Commons family's fleet first, and then cut off the Kingsley family's supply line from the water. We will live and die.
Judging from the current situation, the Kingsley family is far more powerful than we expected. The outcome of both sides is 50 to 50. Even if we win, it will be a tragic victory. More than half of the elite casualties, so we decided
Take plan B.”
"Retreat to the water? Find a way to eat the Commons family's fleet? Cut off the Kingsley family's supply line from the water?"
The elders of the Crocodile Tribe all stared at Sean with their eyes wide open, as if they were dreaming of something impossible.
Even Elder Nitya, who had always been the referee, couldn't help but ask at this moment: "We just decided to defend Brother Port because we couldn't defeat the Commons family's fleet on the water. Why are we now eating first?"
Get off the Commons family’s fleet? If we really had the ability to take it, we wouldn’t have to go to such trouble.”
"This is the moment, and the other is the moment." Sean shook his head and said with a smile, "In this world, there is no immutable plan. If there is no first plan, the possibility of the success of the second plan will be much lower. It is said to be the second plan, but in fact
It is just an extension of the first plan. It can also be said that the first plan is the foreshadowing of the second plan."
"At this time, Lord, please stop showing off." Elder Webber frowned and asked, "Or do you still not trust these people present?"
"The great elder is serious." Sean said with a straight face, "Since I'm here, I'm here to support you, but many things are just our unilateral plans. Whether it can be successful depends on whether the enemy will fall into the trap, otherwise
If you do, it will also fall short."
Sean did not give these elders a chance to continue asking questions, and continued: "Our current stubborn defense will create an illusion for the Kingsley family and Commons family, making them think that the Sky Catapult is our way to deal with Commons.
Once they take control of the Sky Catapult, the main means of the family fleet, what do you think they will do?"
"Of course, the entire fleet of the Commons family will be sent out to block the Yongye Army back to the Andis Mountains and completely block the entrance and exit of the Death Water Channel." Several elders of the Crocodile tribe replied in unison.
They have deduced the consequences of this kind of battle situation over and over again. Once they enter this situation, it is almost impossible to solve it.
They were helpless against the fleet of the Commons family, and the Crocodiles alone could not withstand the ground push of the Kingsley family.
Before the attack and defense of Brother Port, the Crocodile people still had some blind confidence from top to bottom.
But after witnessing the brutal attack and defense, they suddenly discovered that their understanding of war was too shallow.
The Crocodile Tribe was able to compete with the Kingsley family for several rounds before. In addition to geography, it was also because the Kingsley family had a bit of contempt and did not show all their trump cards.
If they had used the battle artifact Golden Armor from the beginning, they would have been defeated at the mouth of Kirigakure Lake.
Facing the Kingsley family soldiers who had both the agility of light armored infantry and the defense of heavy armored infantry, they really didn't have much confidence that they could resist.
"Do you have any other means to deal with the Commons family fleet?" The elder of the Crocodile tribe finally reacted and realized the hidden meaning in Sean's words.
Sean did not deny it, and answered bluntly: "Yes, but it must be in a unique geography to be effective."
Nidia said thoughtfully: "The special geography that the lord is referring to refers to the stretch of water from Brother Port to Death Water Channel?"
"The ancestors are indeed the wisest men of the Crocodile tribe. Yes, our methods can only be effective if they are forced into a narrow waterway. What we want is not just to destroy a few battleships of the Commons fleet, but to severely damage them.
Or even total annihilation, so that we can regain control of the Danube River."
