The huge mountain range stretches out from side to side like a city wall, stretching out on the earth, like a pair of arms, embracing the entire East Pole Plain.

Viewed from below, the mountain is steep, almost at 90 degrees from the earth; The strange rocks are craggy, and there is not even a single miscellaneous tree or a weed under the pressure of black. I couldn't see the mountain, and when I looked up, there were white clouds floating and wandering.

Looking down from above, the mountains are majestic and cuiwei, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other. The peaks like swords and swords stand up to the sky, and they look like sentinels standing upright. Again, the earth could not be seen, because the thick clouds obscured the view, and even the sunlight could not penetrate it.

A straight avenue went straight from the vast East Pole Plain to the mountain, and when it reached the front of the mountain, it suddenly split into two, bypassing a huge circular lake with an area of several tens of kilometers, and then merging into a road, plunging into the mountain.

The avenue into the mountain is only a few hundred meters wide, and the further you go, the wider it becomes, and after 20 kilometers into the mountain, the avenue is already several kilometers wide. Traces of construction can be easily found on both sides of the 20-kilometer road.

Along the mountain from the bottom up, you can see the winding path like a spider's web, and the nodes of the spider's web are usually one or several battlements or holes. It was the firing port, which indicated that the mountains on both sides of the road had formed a three-dimensional defense system composed of countless light and dark fortresses.

After twenty kilometers like a hedgehog, there was a pass ahead, and the huge walls of the city were connected to the mountain on both sides, as if they had grown out of the mountain.

Exiting the huge city gate of the pass, the mountain suddenly parted to both sides, and a huge valley with a radius of dozens of kilometers appeared in front of it.

In the middle of the valley there is a large river several kilometers wide, and the water is so fast that it gushes out from the bottom of the mountain to the south and roars into the bottom of the mountain to the north.

In the middle of the river there is a bridge about five kilometers wide, and the bridge seems to have been formed naturally, because it is a huge flat plain stone that lies across the river, like a big cover, covering the boiling water. On both sides of the river, there are dense military camps, the camps are connected, and the voices of people are boiling, mixed with the roars of fierce beasts.

It was noon, and only a cannon was heard, and a big man in helmet and armor, riding a tall horse and holding a large flag in his hand, jumped up from the end of the bridge and ran towards the middle of the big rock on the river. On the opposite side, there was also a big man in armor and a helmet, holding a large banner in his hand, riding a horse and walking in the opposite direction of the previous big man.

The two knights reined in their horses a few hundred meters from each other, and each lowered the banner into the ground, and the banner sank three feet into the ground. Then turn around and go to their respective camps. The banner is waving in the wind, with a fairy character written on one side and a god character written on the other.

A moment later, a group of men and horses rushed out of the barracks on both sides of the river.

On one side of the banner were knights in silver helmets and silver armor, followed by infantry with shields and swords, followed by crossbowmen, and finally archers.

On the side of the Divine Banner, a divine beast with a height of more than two meters led the way, followed by infantry and a team of mages in black clothes and black hats.

When the distance between the two sides was about a thousand meters, the speed of the knight and the divine beast at the front invariably accelerated. Looking down from the sky, I saw a silver line and a black line going towards each other like a tide, until they collided violently together.

A fierce and abnormal beast jumped high, the beast head slammed into the knight's chest, the knight's hand was a bright saber across the chest, the right hand held the knife handle, the left hand held the back of the knife, desperately pushed forward, the mouth and nose salivating beast two yellow and green eyes suddenly struck, and the huge beast head had already flown to the side.

The knight withstood the force of this impact, hurriedly threw away the saber, pulled the reins with both hands, and sat down on the war horse was pulled up to the sky and roared, the two front hooves were raised high and fell, just stepping on the back of a rushing beast, the beast "twittered" to the side, and the two hind legs were dragged on the ground, it should be that the beast's waist has been broken.

The knight turned his horse's head and was about to run backwards, when a mythical beast leaped up like lightning on the side and bit off the knight's head. The headless knight was still sitting on his horse, running backwards.

Such a situation was playing out everywhere on the battlefield, and everyone tried their best to wave the weapons in their hands, trying to block the attacks of the divine beasts.

When the herd's advance was delayed, the knights turned their horses and ran towards both ends. Revealing the infantry of the Chinese army, I saw the flag soldiers at both ends of the infantry raising the small flags in their hands, the infantry knelt on the ground with brushes, and there was a sound of crossbows in the rear, and the dense crossbow arrows like flying locusts flew towards the remnants of the divine beasts and the protoss infantry. In an instant, the screams in the Protoss team rang out one after another. Immediately after that, the archers at the back also fired bows and arrows, and the one-meter-long pruning branches covered the sky and the sun, pointing directly at the mage team of the Protoss.

A bright light shone in the team of Protoss mages, as if a transparent barrier had risen out of thin air, and whether it was a bow or a crossbow arrow, they all fell weakly a meter in front of the mage team. Immediately after that, the group of Protoss mages brightened up again, countless fireballs and hailstones fell from the sky, even if the immortal infantry held their shields on their heads, half of the infantry were still knocked down, and the screams were endless.

At this time, dozens of white lights rose from the back end of the immortal clan, and it was not until mid-air that they realized that they were dozens of immortals wearing white clothes and stepping on flying swords. The leader held a big knife in his hand, pointed forward, and the immortals opened their mouths and shouted in unison, like meteors flying towards the protoss team, and in an instant they had landed in the mage team, waving the weapons in their hands and starting to kill.

It can be seen that the Protoss mages do not have melee combat ability, and the immortals have almost no enemies. Soon the Protoss infantry began to reinforce the mages. The immortal infantry and crossbowmen also began to attack forward, and the two sides fought chaotically.

Xiao Zeng turned off the video, and there was silence in the conference room.

I picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and said, "Xiao Zeng will introduce it first, everyone has questions to write down, and I will ask them one by one later." ”

Xiao Zeng cleared his throat and said, "Commander-in-Chief Xu, commanders, army and division leaders, this video is recorded by our military observers of a battle that took place in the passage last week. Battles of this magnitude are fought once or twice a day in the passage, large battles of about 100,000 men are about once a month, and battles of more than 500,000 men are usually after the battles of 100,000 men, but they are very rare. According to the liaison officer of the Immortal Clan, in the past five hundred years, the two sides have each occupied each other's river banks three times, so there was a general battle that mobilized more than 500,000 troops to participate, and the most critical one, the Immortal Clan used the water of the Immortal Lake to flood the passage, so that the divine beast did not attack the immortal realm. ”

A whisper came to mind in the conference room, and I knocked on the table, and the room fell silent. I said to Xiao Zeng, "Go on." ”

Xiao Zeng nodded and continued: "In this battle, the Immortal Clan dispatched fifteen thousand troops. Among them, there were 3,000 cavalry, 5,000 infantry, 2,000 crossbowmen, 5,000 archers, and 39 immortals. The Protoss dispatched about 9,000 troops, including 5,000 Divine Beasts, 3,000 Infantry, and 1,000 Mages. The final result was a loss of 2,000 for the Immortal cavalry, a total loss for the infantry, a thousand for the crossbowmen, a thousand for the archers, and two more Immortals fell. All the divine beasts of the Protoss were annihilated, the infantry was annihilated by two thousand, and the mages lost eight hundred. ”

The conference room remembered the "hiss" sound, and even I gasped.

Xiao Zeng looked at me and said: "According to the inferences we have drawn from our observations, the melee ability of the Divine Beast in the Protoss is the highest, followed by the infantry, but the strongest attack power is still the mage, if this battle is not for the immortals to rush into the Protoss mage team, causing the Protoss infantry to come back, there is a high probability that the Immortal Clan participating in the battle will lose all, and if the follow-up troops of the Protoss keep up, there is a seventy percent probability of capturing the Immortal Riverbank." ”

When Xiao Zeng finished his report and turned his head to look at me, I said, "Let's talk about the characteristics of the divine beast." ”

Xiao Zeng was silent for a moment and said: "There is an essential difference between the divine beasts of the passage and the divine beasts of the immortal god realm, they have stronger attack and defense capabilities, they know how to listen to commands, and they can cooperate with each other to fight, so I suspect that they are intelligent creatures." ”

There was a "buzzing" sound in the conference room again, and I patted the table and said, "Raise your hand if you have a problem." ”

Qin Zhen was the first to raise his hand, I nodded, he stood up and asked, "The Immortal Knight can defeat a divine beast alone, why do you say that the combat power of the divine beast is the highest?"

Xiao Zeng said: "The men and horses of the Immortal Clan's cavalry are specially trained for the Passage Divine Beast, and it takes about five to ten years to train a qualified cavalry, so the Immortal Clan's army has more than fifteen million people, but the cavalry is less than 100,000. The bones and fur of the divine beasts have defensive abilities, and there are many of them, and the growth cycle can refer to the divine beasts of the fairy god realm. Agile and fearless of death. We experimented with it, and it took forty to fifty rounds of special armor-piercing bullets to completely kill a divine beast, and the divine beast only needed one attack to kill us or the individual soldiers of the Immortal Clan. Qin Zhen nodded and sat down with a serious expression.

Several people below raised their hands, I pointed at Qiao Zhijun, he stood up and asked, "The strength of the mage's magic barrier and magic attack is not large, can we use artillery and air force to attack?"

Xiao Zeng said: "After measurement, the channel is in a state of quantum instability, and the Institute of Physics has determined that if a large number of thermal weapons are used for concentrated attacks, there is a high probability that a chain reaction will be triggered, and the critical value will be annihilated, but it is currently impossible to judge the critical value." But small single cluster bombs and grenades, as well as anti-tank weapons, do not touch the tipping point. The Institute of Military Equipment of the Human World is developing individual bullets with greater power and armor-piercing capabilities. ”

I looked at the people with blank faces, smiled and said, "It's an artificial black hole, devouring everything." He turned his head to Xiao Zeng and said, "Tell me about the strategic concept of the East Pole King." ”

Xiao Zeng turned around to open the PPT, and a schematic diagram of the situation of both sides of the channel war appeared on the screen, red representing the immortal army and blue representing the protoss army.

Xiao Zeng took out a laser pointer, pointed in the direction of the big red arrow, and said: "The plan of the East Pole King is to gather the Four Pole Kings and 1,200 immortals, and 40,000 cavalry, as an assault group, to quickly occupy the banks of the Protoss River, and then gather 500,000 infantry and 1 million crossbowmen to break into the Divine Realm with echelon attacks and form a defensive posture. Immediately after that, we will take over the defense passage and protect the follow-up troops of the Immortal Clan from entering the God Realm. ”

Qin Zhen said: "There is a lot of uncertainty about the plan of the East Pole King. ”

I nodded and said, "First of all, the East Pole King, they have been fighting with the Protoss for many years, and they should have some understanding of the strength of their opponents. But the current situation is that there is uncertainty about how many Protoss there are outside the passage. ”

Qin Zhen smiled and said, "So I suggest that we prepare a group of armored troops and army aviation troops to help them quickly clear an area after the East Pole King and them break into the Divine Realm, so that they can gain a firm foothold." ”

I nodded and said to Xiao Zeng: "You report a plan and hand it over to the Third Army, and the Third Army is responsible for the personnel and equipment, Lao Liu, do you think there is a problem?"

Liu Mingwen stood up and said with a smile: "The problem is no, but there is a request." ”

Qin Zhen and I glanced at each other and laughed together. Qin Zhen said: "You can mention it." ”

Liu Mingwen said: "Our Third Army has requested that a military observer group be sent to follow the passage troops. ”

Qin Zhen and Qiao Zhijun laughed together, and Liu Mingwen touched the back of his head inexplicably.

I flipped through my notebook, took out two pieces of paper, and said with a smile: "The First and Second Armies have made the same request as you, so let's set up a military observation group together and follow the independent column of the passage to act together." ”
