Chapter 129: Lady Sigh (83)

"Attention, be careful, the enemy is spotted ahead. Tiger King, lurk in to find out the situation. ”

It's been two days since we left the Immortal City, and in the course of two days, we've encountered more than a dozen attacks from the Apostles, large and small. Although it does not seem to be a real, pure-blooded apostle, it still has a big impact on us. In the past two days, nearly a thousand or so soldiers fell unwillingly on the journey before they could go to the armored city to support the front line.

At first, it was not clear to me why the attacks of these apostles against us often worked. They inflicted a lot of damage on us, but we couldn't catch their tails almost every time. I don't know what it's all about, and neither does the Tiger King. As for Shen Lin, who didn't have any military experience before, he didn't understand it even more.

It wasn't until I was forced to ask me that the Tiger King slowly swallowed with a flushed face and said, "Well, if you have to let Gu describe it, then Gu can only find you an example." That's the wolf. ”

"Wolves?" "Are you saying we're wolves, and the apostles' sneak attackers are hunters?"

The Tiger King gave me a blank look and said, "How is that possible! If Lone could describe it like that, then he would directly say that we are wolves and they are hunters." What Gu wants to say now is completely different from what you understand. They are wolves, and we are prey, a huge prey. ”

I seemed to understand something, and it was quite a coincidence that there was actually a dozen wolves following us around us. Of course, they didn't want to help us, they wanted a piece of food. But the food they want makes us feel disgusted by these wolves. Their food is all our dead comrades.

More than once I asked the soldiers to chase away the hungry wolves, but no matter how many times I tried, the hungry wolves were not driven away, but gathered more and more. It seems to have lured all the hungry wolves in the entire Dnomah Empire. It seems that these hungry wolves know that if they don't hurry up to replenish their food, they will not be able to survive the coldest winter in just a few hundred years. So, how can they not give up on the delicious food delivered to their door?

Later, after racking my brains, I and the Tiger King discussed a solution, that is, to use fresh animal meat to introduce this super wolf pack, which has gathered hundreds of wolves, into a wolf pack that has been sealed by us, and the other side will wait for these wolves to enter and completely wipe it out. We did a beautiful job of encountering the wolves. Everything was done by the soldiers of the Denomah Empire. From setting up the scene, to sending decoys to lead the wolves into the canyon, to the condescending attacks of the magicians and archers on both sides of the canyon, to the heavy cavalry of the Denoma Empire ambushed on the other side of the canyon to launch a large-scale cavalry assault on the beasts that had collapsed, so that all the hundreds of wolves were buried in the snowy canyon. And the price they pay, is zero.

Although it was only a battle against the beast, this result was also a bit unexpected for me. After all, these wolves are far superior to humans in terms of ferocity and strength. Even if you don't mention the archers and magicians on both sides of the canyon, just talking about the heavy armored cavalry groups at the bottom of the canyon and the wolves, they should be an army that is easily damaged in battle. After all, with two hundred of them, they were facing five or six hundred vicious wolves in their final state of struggle. But in the end, none of them died or were injured. This, this is simply a difficult battle to execute.

Later, although there were still some wolves following us, they were already intimidated by our anger, so they only followed from a distance. But I don't know what the Tiger King is telling me about the wolves now.

The Tiger King gave me a blank look and said, "Ma'am, why do you become ignorant when it comes to the knowledge of war? Lone said that they are wolves, because their behavior is the same as the wolves we destroyed before? They all take advantage of our inattention, and then take a hateful bite on our body, and after the bite, they will not forget to pee on our wounds and then leave before we can reflect it." Ma'am, aren't the apostles just like the wolves?"

Only then did I realize what the Tiger King just said. This is undoubtedly good news for me. Because, since the Tiger King has explained the harassment methods of these apostles, it proves that the Tiger King now knows what methods to use to defend against them. "Well, have you figured out a way by now?"

The Tiger King nodded at me: "Yes, if you can really find out Lone's mind." That's right, Lone has now found a solution to his current troubles. Ma'am, haven't you noticed that the front of our army is too dense right now?"

Intensive? I reflected that our tactics were indeed like this, very intensive. At first, I put up such a formation out of fear of encountering the large army of the apostles. The reason for using such a formation is that although the army of the Denoma Empire is strong enough, it is still relatively weak for the Apostles. This kind of honor, not only in terms of individual soldiers, but also in terms of overall quality, the soldiers of the Denoma Empire cannot be compared with the real apostolic soldiers. Therefore, if you want to fight the apostles on the frontal battlefield, the only way is to try to gain numerical superiority. So, that's what I'm thinking about as well.

However, my mistake was a mistake because we did not realize that these apostles did not want to fight us head-to-head on the battlefield, but let the relatively weak peripheral members of the apostles constantly attack us. In this way, the way we have previously designed large-scale frontal combat will no longer work. "Tiger King, I know you can come up with a solution, so don't waste time. ”

The Tiger King looked at me incredulously and asked, "Ma'am, don't you know what to do until now?" Actually, it's very simple, as long as we send a certain number of reconnaissance troops to accompany us on the left and right of the advance, and then send an advance force forward, isn't it okay?"

I thought about it, and this is a good idea. Since our current battle line is relatively long, there will basically be no attacks from the Apostles in the future. It's our left, right and front that we're worried about. Half of the apostolic attacks on us have come from the right side. There were fewer attacks on the left and in front. However, this does not mean that the left and front sides are relatively safe. In fact, the losses borne by our army were basically proportional to the three directions attacked.

At the suggestion of the Tiger King and the officers of the Denoma Empire, I placed three large patrols on the left and right sides, each with about 100 men, and a total of ten small patrols, each with a number of 10 to 50 men. These units are not used for frontal combat, but only for early warning. In any case, the apostles could not have killed them all. As soon as a patrol soldier returns, then we can know in advance which direction we are being attacked.

As for the outstanding team in front, I stood up as a deserved. Because with my personal attributes, I am all too familiar with being the commander of the advance force. And our own formation, the Tiger King is the most suitable candidate. Uh, well, he's not a human yet, but there's nothing left. Because the soldiers and military men of the Denomah Empire recognized the existence of the Tiger King.

As for how many people are needed for the salient, I advocate that only about 500 people should be brought with us. I don't think their apostles have enough troops to fight us head-on right now. But the Tiger King disagreed with me regardless of what I said, and repeatedly insisted, "Ma'am, you are doing this very woolly. You know, although the Apostles didn't have time to send their main army to attack us in order to capture the City of Armor, there was no way to fight against those Apostles with only five hundred men. Even two or three hundred apostles can kill and wound our soldiers, and maybe you'll be fine then, but what about those soldiers, those soldiers are not dead ghosts, but our indispensable soldiers! Moreover, it is still too dangerous for you to go alone. We don't know how many of our original companions are still there, and if something happens to you, then we're even more in danger. ”

"Then what do you mean?" In desperation, I had no way to say anything about him, and what the Tiger King said seemed to have some truth in it.

"First of all, let Lone get up with you. Second, the number of soldiers who advanced increased from 500 to 1,000. Among them were three hundred heavily armored knights, thirty lightly armed cavalry, four hundred and fifty infantry of various kinds, one hundred longbowmen, one hundred crossbowmen, and twenty magicians. ”

Well, he is worthy of the Tiger King, and he can talk about all the troops so carefully. But when the Tiger King said this, I do know why the Tiger King arranged it this way. Heavy cavalry, used to carry out large-scale cluster attacks, these cavalry are destined to be used at the most critical moments. Thirty lightly armed cavalry, not directly involved in the battle, but to disperse the forward, they are our indispensable reconnaissance force. And the infantry is our backbone. They need to attack, they need to defend, they need cover, so they are also a necessary army for us. As for the ranged troops, they are the first initiators of our attacks.

What about the magician, the magician. What an amazing class it is. In the current war, it seems that the armies of the human world cannot fight without magicians. But the reality seems to be exactly that. After all, the role of the mage is just too great these days. Even the lowest-level magic apprentice can deal effective damage to the target if they cast magic together. In addition, these mages are also able to bless their comrades with various enhancement spells, making them more powerful. If you have a full-fledged mage in an army, you will be able to multiply the combat effectiveness of that army. Fortunately, in order to maximize the combat effectiveness of this rescue force to the armored city, the more than 100 mages sent by Barrier I were all recognized official magicians, not some mage apprentices. In addition, each official mage is protected by five guards who are at the level of the Guard. Thanks to these guards, not a single mage has been killed or injured so far.

I agreed to the Tiger King's request, but before I agreed, I raised another question, that is, if the Tiger King and I were in the forward troops, then who would be the commander of the formation? If there were so many people without a commander, then there would definitely be problems, and there would definitely be chaos.

The Tiger King brought me a person directly. It was a middle-aged man from the Denoma Empire in military uniform. He had three scars on his face, one of which ran across his forehead and one on his left cheek, making it look like the left side of his face was smiling at us. The third knife was on his nose, and it looked as if the original intact nose had been cut in half. Well, in fact, it is. According to legend, one of the three scars on his face came from our undead clan, and the one on his forehead came from quelling civil strife. The rest of the sword is a war with the Dammoth Empire that has been deliberately hidden.

I know him, he is the Duke of the Dnoma Empire and the cousin of the current Barrier I. Colleagues are also mentors to the next generation. Like Barrier I, as if to strengthen his convictions, he changed his previous name and called himself a duke. Yes, there is no official name other than the Duke. But the soldiers of the Denomah Empire still gave him a very apt nickname, Sir Scar, after all, the scars on his face did look like his face was completely rotten. And although the duke knew this nickname of his own, he never cared. In his heart, there was nothing more important than vengeance against the apostles.

"Madam, I heard that you are going to lead a thousand men as an assault force. ”

"Yes, I'm with the Tiger King. I looked at the expressionless middle-aged man and asked, "Do you have any opinions?"
