Chapter 64: The Lady of Light Sighs (108)
After I told Sir Scar about what I had experienced and how I had gone to the City of Armor, even a professional soldier like Sir Scar was embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. This was indeed something I didn't expect. Scar Sir blushed, rubbed his hands back and forth, and said, "However, no matter what, I have to apologize to you and the Tiger King for the City of Armor." But in fact, from another point of view, the concern of the female magician named Liao Ningzhu is not without reason. It is true that we have not thought it through, and we should have sent a messenger with you. Sorry ma'am, it was our mistake. We are willing to take responsibility for all of this. ”
"What's the use of you taking responsibility. I was angry and said, "Anyway, the result is already like this, and the armored city will definitely not send troops." It's a pity, what time is it now, but they naively think that they can resist the attack of the apostles with a small city and a small number of troops, but they don't know that these apostles just have no combat experience. Hey, it's a pity, it's because these apostles have no combat experience and haven't gone through the baptism of war, so they have carelessness. ”
Speaking of which, I really don't know what to say. After saying goodbye to Lord Tiger, Sir Scar, he found a tent to rest in and began to wait for the next day.
Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is. I really want them to know what the price of arrogance is, but alas, I can't do that, and neither can Sir Scar. In addition, although I told Sir Scar almost everything about the ins and outs of the matter, I did not tell Sir Scar about Liao Ningzhu's suspicions. Anyway, as much as I still hated the sorceress, I couldn't simply conclude that she was in cahoots with the Apostles based on a few words from her. But that doesn't mean I let her go. I pulled out the strand of hair in my hand and smiled coldly.
"Ma'am, do you really want to kill that sorceress with the help of Viren's hand?"
"No, I do, but it requires a premise. "I played with this strand of hair for a while and then put it back in my clothes, and it was a small but very important strand of hair. "If she's not suspicious, I wouldn't do anything to her. But if she really had any collusion with the Apostles as she did with the Duke, then I would have killed her. ”
I was still thinking about the suspiciousness of Liao Ningzhu's woman, but the Tiger King hesitated: "Madam, have we gone too far in hating the duke's human?"
I immediately lowered my head, looked carefully at the tiger king lying on the carpet not far away, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lone was thinking, if Viren thought that the disgust of the Duke was different from before, maybe we should really believe him. After all, Viren has absolutely no reason to favor and dislike the Duke casually, and he dislikes what the Duke does, and it is impossible for Viren not to know. Therefore, Lone thinks that since Viren is already a recognized Duke of Disgust, it means that the old man has indeed begun to turn back. Although it seems a little late in terms of time. ”
In the distance, the soldiers of the Denomah Empire were making the final mobilization for the next day's big battle. The cavalrymen were concentrating on feeding their horses, and this was probably the last time they fed their horses, so they didn't let the servants feed them for them. And the ordinary soldiers are constantly sharpening their swords and bows and arrows, many of them no longer expect to survive tomorrow's war, but if they can take the lives of one or more apostolic soldiers, even if they die, they can go underground and brag to their colleagues who died in battle. The magicians walked into a relatively large camp, and from the outside, they could vaguely see all kinds of lights flashing from the tent. It's clear that they're preparing for tomorrow's spell.
I don't want my mood to be affected by the disgusted duke that the Tiger King is bringing up now, and I don't care if that human has reformed by now, it has nothing to do with me. I just remember that since that ambush with the Duke of Disgust, the coalition of our undead army and the rest of the human world's main armies was wiped out in one night, and it was he who affected the course of the entire continent.
I'd love to get angry at the Tiger King, but forget it. Even if you talk about Tiger King now, what's the use? Even if the Tiger King had really changed his mind, so what? would he be able to suddenly appear to help us break through the apostolic army besieging the armored city? That was impossible.
"It's not early, Tiger King, you have a good rest, tomorrow is still our lead. "I'm not past the Tiger King, and although it's getting late, it's not my time to rest. I'm going to go to Sir Scar, the old human man, to agree on tomorrow's tactics. The previous tactics of combining the inside and outside with the armored city are now impossible to achieve. How to defeat the 3,000 apostolic soldiers of the apostles, a number of mid-ranking apostles plus a high-ranking apostle, and the apostolic reinforcements that may arrive from other directions at any time with a small number of troops is indeed a very serious problem.
But I actually have some simple plans in mind, but I don't know if Sir Scar will agree. Because this effective and simple solution requires countless sacrifices of lives to lay. And even if I thought, Sir Scar didn't know, I didn't have the right to mobilize the army of the Denomah Empire, everything needed to be known to Sir Scar first. After all, he is now the commander of this expeditionary force, and he was relieved of his position by me.
Sir Scar wasn't hard to find, this stubborn old man didn't like to live in luxurious accommodations, and his tent was no different from that of an ordinary officer of the Denomah Empire. In my opinion, the advantage of this is that if the barracks are attacked, the attackers will also fail the decapitation operation because they can't find out where Sir Scar is hiding in time. It's just that I think it's a bit of a villain's heart, the reason why Sir Scar lives in an ordinary camp is because he doesn't have any shelves, compared to those luxurious and even awkward decorations, Sir Scar, who was born in the military, still prefers to stay with his colleagues and subordinates. And when I found him, he was training with his subordinates.
When he saw me coming, Sir Scar immediately put on a look on what I had expected you to come, and after distracting his subordinates, he led me to one of his tents. "Ma'am, I think you're ready for tomorrow's war?"
I'm not used to an old human man using honorific titles for me, in fact, I'm not used to every race using honorific titles for me: "Sir, you may call me lady, but please don't use your name." But I do have some ideas for tomorrow's war, but if we do do that, we need to pay some price. ”
"Ma'am, in war, it is inevitable to pay a price. It just needs to be seen if it's worth the cost. If in the end these costs are worth the good results. But if it is self-defeating to pay a considerable price and not receive any effect, then it is undoubtedly very unworthy. But no matter what, I still hope that you will speak your own thoughts, and let's judge together. ”
I nodded, and began to speak my thoughts to Lord Scarred, "Actually, it's not that difficult to get our army of 70,000 to face 3,000 apostles. The difficulty is how to stop the apostolic reinforcements coming from the other three directions. You know, the enemy we are facing is not just more than 3,000 apostles, one high-ranking apostle, and several mid-level apostles, but the entire apostolic army besieging the armored city!"
Sir Scar thought thoughtfully, and after thinking about it for a long time, Sir Scar said, "Ma'am, I think your idea is that while we are attacking, we should organize a defensive line on the north and south flanks at the same time to contain the possible apostolic reinforcements?"
"It's not possible, it's definitely coming. I corrected, "Even if it snows heavily these days, even if we have cleaned almost all the apostolic outposts of this generation, who can guarantee that all the apostolic outposts will be cleared by us? So that's the only reason we've set the time for tomorrow!"
"But how many troops should we deploy on the north and south flanks to withstand the apostles' reinforcements?"
"Ten thousand each!" I said categorically, "ten thousand each! Only this number will allow us to barely hold back the support of the apostles." After we have completed the siege of the Apostles to the west, we must sacrifice our forces in one direction and instead attack the Apostolic reinforcements in the other direction! That's the only way we can win. ”
Lord Scar exclaimed, "What, ma'am, you're not kidding, are you? 10,000 troops on each side?
"No, don't worry, sir, the apostles won't come out of the nest. I smiled confidently and continued: "First of all, you need to understand that there are 10,000 troops on each side of this side, and none of them can be missing. Moreover, if there is a problem on the frontal battlefield, I also hope that the armies on both sides will send at least 3,000 troops to the frontal battlefield in time to support. ”
"Ma'am, you're gambling with the lives of 20,000 people! Moreover, the 50,000 men on the frontal battlefield have no way to fight against the apostles. ”
"50,000 frontal battles? Sir, I think you're thinking too much. I smiled slightly, and once again corrected Sir Scar's small mistake: "The reason why I only need 10,000 people on my north and south sides to resist the attack of those supporting apostles is because I still need a certain number of people to go to the other three gates of the armored city to harass them. Therefore, there may only be 47,800 people at most in the frontal battlefield. ”
When Sir Scar heard me say that 10,000 men would be able to withstand the attacks of the supporting apostles, his face suddenly brightened. But when I immediately said that the frontal battlefield, which was already small in number, would be reduced in numbers, my face suddenly became like a bitter melon. "Madam, it can't be less, if there is less, it will not be us to attack the Apostles to relieve the siege of the armored city, but to send them to death!"
"Sir, do you believe me?"
"Believe it, of course I believe you. Sir Scar smiled wryly and said, "But it's too risky to do that." Today's army of 70,000 is an important resistance force for our Denoma Empire. Although their combat experience is not enough compared to the help sacrificed before, after a long period of accumulation, they can still become a new force to turn defeat into victory. Ma'am, please don't let them die on the battlefield in vain!"
Does this old man think I'm going to wipe out these armies?" "You're too worried, sir, although I'm not from the Denoma Empire, let alone human, I also don't want so much military power to be wasted like this. There's a reason why I'm suggesting that, but now Sir, would you like to keep listening?"
Sir Scar made a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Yes, of course I do." ”
"In that case, then I'll move on. I secretly laughed at this stubborn old man, and continued: "The whole battle plan, I arranged it this way. First of all, I will have Tiger King and Shen Lin go to the north and south to support the blocking forces there. Because if they collapse prematurely, the entire frontal battlefield will be destroyed. However, they will not collapse prematurely, because I will also deploy three cavalry on the other three walls to harass, remember, powerful and swift cavalry. In this snowy weather, only these cavalry were able to harass and escape the pursuit of the apostles. And when they were harassed, the apostles would never use all their forces for support. This will be very effective in containing them. Coupled with the fact that I am on the frontal battlefield, I will deal with that high-ranking apostle. ”
"But you have a loophole here, what should we do if the high-ranking apostles from the other three directions also come?"
I smiled slightly, took out Liao Ningzhu's three hairs from my arms, and said confidently: "Don't worry, they have reinforcements, won't we have them?"
