Chapter 0607: Intended to go down
It's the end of the year in the blink of an eye.
However, the New Year did not bring much joy to the inhabitants of Arthur's Kingdom, and most of them showed a deep concern for the future.
The demons have assembled in the Ambrizette Mountains and are preparing to attack the kingdom of Arthur in a big way.
I don't know who leaked this news, which made people panic.
The shadow of demons once again looms over the kingdom, and to add insult to injury, the battle between the king and the Cronin family is gradually heating up.
According to insiders, it seems that the Rowling Kingdom is going to take advantage of the situation and attack Hailan Province.
The current situation all shows that the Kingdom of Arthur has reached the point of national ruin.
However, in this extremely chaotic situation, Gannan Province is slowly accumulating strength.
On the first day of the new year, the middle and high-ranking military of Gannan Province gathered in the city of abundance.
In the conference room, Renard sat at the head and said with a gloomy face: "According to reliable information brought by our indigenous friends, the demon army is gathering elite forces and preparing to launch an operation against the Kingdom of Arthur. ”
This sentence is like emptying the air in the conference room, making everyone in the room feel heavy breathing.
No one spoke, after all, all those present did not have the terrifying experience of facing tens of millions of demons.
Lei Ye glanced at the audience and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
Everyone looked at each other, all of them showing a wry smile of helplessness.
Duke Edmund sighed and took the lead in expressing his opinion: "I suggest that we gather heavy troops in Maple Leaf City, Fort Orton, Ogan City, Fort Fit, Gentry City, Fort St. Brieuc, and Fort Shaman to resist the attack of demons. ”
The seven cities were built along the Ambrizet Mountains, creating a barrier between the Gannan Province and the Ambrizette Mountains.
As long as these seven cities can be defended, Gannan Province will have peace of mind.
This proposal was overwhelmingly supported and is the only solution to the problem so far.
However, Renard quickly objected: "What if we disperse our forces to garrison these seven cities and are defeated by the other side one by one?"
Hearing this, everyone's mood fell again.
There are less than 100,000 soldiers in Gannan Province, and they are also responsible for maintaining law and order in the territory, and can only send a maximum of 70,000 people to defend the city.
Seven cities, each city has less than 10,000 people stationed, and in the face of tens of millions of demons, the other party can pile them to death even if they take their lives.
Even if the main target of the demon is not in Gannan Province, as long as a few motley legions are sent to attack the city, there are millions of them.
Thinking about the situation more optimistically, the other party only sent middle and low-level demons to come, and it was still a huge disaster, enough to turn Gannan Province upside down.
What they are facing now seems to be a dead end.
At this moment, the young officer sitting at the end suddenly spoke: "Can't we take the initiative?"
Everyone looked at the officer, looked at his epaulettes, and saw that it was a colonel.
The fact that a young officer can be promoted to colonel and regimental commander at this age shows that he has very strong ability and potential.
Renard vaguely remembers this man, he was one of the first graduates of the military department of Abundance College, and he got all the honors in all subjects.
Lei Ye stared at the other party, and suddenly asked, "Do you have any good proposals?"
The officer did not expect that his speech would attract the attention of the Governor, and his emotions suddenly became excited, and he stood up and reported to himself: "James, the first graduate of the Military Department of the Rich Academy, has met the Governor. ”
Renard smiled and nodded, signaling the other party to relax: "If you have any proposals, you can say it directly." ”
James also felt that he was too solemn when he heard this, he scratched his head and said, "My proposal is to take the initiative, concentrate superior forces, and take the demons by surprise before they come out of the mountain." ”
Lei Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Keep talking." ”
Seeing the smile on Renard's face, James grew bolder, and his thinking and eloquence became more and more fluent.
He raised his voice as much as he could, so that everyone in the room could hear him: "I've been studying the terrain of the Ambrizet Mountains with my classmates recently......"
"If the demon wants to attack the province of Gannan, these places are the way to go, and there are many locations suitable for ambushes. ”
"For example, if the demons of Red Ridge Mountain want to attack Gannan Province, they must pass through the Grizzly Bear Valley, where the mountains are high and dense, and there is an extremely narrow mountain stream......"
"We only need to send a division of troops to hold the valley mouth to the death, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, we can't easily pass through. ”
"If the various legions work together, it is possible to trap each other in a mountain stream. ”
"There is another ......"
Everyone listened to the young officer's eloquent talk, and their faces showed thoughtful expressions.
Looking at Lei Ye's admiring eyes again, they couldn't help but secretly guess: the other party's thoughts were afraid that they coincided with the Governor's Excellency.
Everyone guessed correctly, resting on his laurels was not Renard's character at all, and he only believed in one principle: the best defense is offense.
It was precisely because James catered to Lei Ye's point of view that he was interested in listening to what the other party had to say, otherwise he would have been thrown out of the door and stood in a military posture.
However, although the other party grasped the key to the problem, they ignored an important help.
Looking at the somewhat smug James, Renard reminded, "Have you ever considered using the power of the natives?"
When James heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately lowered his head and pondered.
As early as two months ago, Renard had considered the possibility of taking the initiative, and he thought more and more thoroughly than James.
Now the natives have formed an anti-demon alliance and lined up along the outskirts of the Ambrizette Mountains, ready to fight the demons to the death.
This is a great opportunity for the human race, and the elite human troops cooperate with the Indigenous Alliance, and there is no capital to compete with the demons.
The natives have great strength and terrifying numbers, but they do not have a unified command and dispatch and weapons and equipment.
Gannan Province has many generals and weapons and equipment who can fight well, but it does not have too many manpower.
If the two are combined and complement each other's strengths, they will gather a powerful force that has never been seen before.
On the contrary, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
If Renard chooses to stick to Gannan Province and let the natives fight to the death with the demons, the final result is likely to be the loss of the natives as a powerful ally, and thus the chance to turn defeat into victory.
After a while, before James could figure it out, Tracy suddenly said, "We can provide more military supplies to the natives, and at the same time send troops to fight with them." ”
"As we all know, the natives originally lived in the mountains and forests, and adapted to the environment there, and if they were provided with enough weapons and equipment, food and medicine, it would be enough to deal a terrible blow to the demon army. ”
"They are in charge of jungle field warfare, and we are in charge of guarding the passes, as long as we ensure that the demons do not invade Gannan Province, we will have a steady supply of supplies to the front line. ”
"In a virtuous circle, there are no more demons to fear. ”
