Chapter 473: Analysis
Wedge: The battle situation is changing rapidly, and generals should look at the overall situation
The night was long, and the second half of the night passed like this, and there was no news, and the next morning Chisheng Hitomi went out to buy a map of the perimeter of the Mesterway defense line, although I don't know the manpower deployment of the two sides, and I don't know which places the Scorpion Clan and the Desolate Clan have mastered, but you can also see which places are strategically important from the map. Unlike other places, if there are no towns or mild places, no one will ask for the land if it is given up, because even if it does, it only pays lip service to whom, and in fact there is no one to guard it, nor does it have any resources or strategic significance.
"Let's take a look, this is the geographical map around the Mesterway Line", Chisheng Hitomi threw the map on the ground in the room, and ten people carefully figured out around the map, they were all people who had resisted the beast tide in the cold fortress, so they also had certain opinions and opinions about the war. "Judging from the map, the Mesterway Line should be a dividing line, and from here to the middle of our current Great Wilderness City, there is a transportation route or station for the Wasteland. The left side of this line of defense is against the huge Great Wilderness Mountain Range, the right side is an endless desert, and from the right side it looks like another line of defense, but there is at least a few hundred days of teleportation distance between the two", Wang Ming was the first to speak. This map is very large, so many small geographies cannot be seen, which should also be kept secret, I am afraid that only the army has a detailed map.
"There is an octagonal fortress in front of the Mesterway line, and there is almost nothing further on, although there are a few points, but there are no names and types, and I don't know if it is a strategic station. It would be nice to have a more detailed map, which is of little value other than knowing that the Mesterway Line is important", Feng Jun also commented. Everyone else nodded, "Well, that's true," and Hitomi Chisheng agreed, "This Great Desolate Mountain Range is a mountain range on the Heavenly Desolate Plains, and it's more than a little smaller than the Wasteland Mountain Range that separates the Wasteland Mansion from Cosmos City. However, because the two are separated by the Wild Grand Canyon, and the entrance and exit of the entire canyon are under the control of the Wild Mansion, it is basically impossible to cross the Great Wild Mountain Range and attack the Mesterway Line from the left," said Xuan'er, who knew some about the geography of the Wild Mansion.
"That's right, it's impossible on the left, and it's even more impossible on the right, otherwise it would be impossible for the Wasteland to vacate such a large piece of space in the middle, which is equivalent to opening the door, which means that there must be some dangerous and harsh environment in the middle of these two lines of defense. In this way, it seems that the urgency of the Mesterway line must have suffered a powerful frontal impact", Yuanlian also expressed her opinion, she was the commander of one side at the beginning, and this strategic vision is still there. "Then the question now comes, since it can only be attacked from the front, it means that the Wasteland is very aware of this matter, at least it has been attacked by the scorpion clan before, but why is it in a hurry now. What is the reason that the entire defense line can no longer be defended, and even sent a distress signal," Haochen said.
"There are only two situations, the first is that the scorpion clan is attacked several times or even dozens of times more head-on, because there are not enough people to defend it. But if that's the case, then the news should have come a long time ago, and since the teleportation array has been destroyed, then I'm afraid there is only a second reason left", Chisheng Hitomi held his chin, and a glint flashed in his eyes. "It's a raid!!", everyone came to a conclusion at the same time, "Well, this should be true, judging by the overall situation, it must have been a raid." However, at most, we know this, and the deployment of troops and strategic points of the entire battle situation, including the combat strength of the armies on both sides, are completely unclear. Even the geography isn't detailed enough to make too many judgments," Hitomi Akayu said.
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and Chisheng Hitomi opened the door, just in time to see Lin and Yan standing outside the courtyard and about to knock on the door. "Childe", the two saw him salute respectfully, "Lin, you came just in time, did you bring a map", Chisheng Hitomi asked, "Bring it, but the head of the family invited Childe to discuss, so ......", Lin wanted to speak and stopped, he hoped that Chisheng Hitomi would go, with Chisheng Hitomi's judgment and grasp of the battle situation, so that they would be more sure that they could rescue Miss. But at the same time, he didn't want Chisheng Hitomi to go, because that would likely expose his identity, and the current situation was probably not able to protect him. "Okay, let's not talk about the rest, come in and show us the map", Hitomi Akasheng also knew what he was thinking, but now he couldn't care so much, every second wasted, there was more danger on the side of the Mesterway Line.
"It's Childe", the two walked into the room, everyone closed the door, and Lin took out a map of the same size, but this time the map was different, it can be said to be extremely detailed. On the Heavenly Desolate Plain in front of the Great Wilderness City, the geography and situation of the entire site were unobstructed. Sure enough, as they had guessed just now, in the middle of the two lines of defense was a sandstorm area, where spiritual power was tyrannical all year round, and the environment was harsh, and the ground was rising and falling at any time. Sometimes it's still a hill in the morning, and at noon it becomes a canyon, and after entering, there are basically dead and lifeless, and they are generally buried alive, or they lose their way and can't get out again, and even the instruments of the mechanical clan will be infected there and can't correctly distinguish the direction, and the outcome after entering is naturally predictable. There were many Qiankun army garrisons around the Mestve Line, as well as several fortresses and passes, all of which were under the control of the Qiankun army. There were nearly 40 million Qiankun troops around the Mestve Line, including the defense line, of which one-third were defending the defense line, and the rest were scattered everywhere for support at any time.
Seeing that everyone here gasped without taking a breath, nearly 40 million people, and all of them were spirits, this kind of battle was simply comparable to the beast tide that broke out in the cold fortress. With so many people, as long as one is not careful, countless people will die, and it is no wonder that after the outbreak of the Cosmos Beast, the Savage City was unguarded, and compared to the battlefield here, it was just a pediatric over there. Once he frees his hands, I'm afraid that the Cosmos Beast may not be able to bargain for anything, no wonder Kara agrees to never leave Cosmos City.
"Have you received any news from these fortresses and garrisons", Hitomi Akasheng asked, pointing to a few points around the defensive line, "Yes, each fortress has sent reinforcements, but all of them have been defeated, and they can't even get close to the defensive line." The entire Mesterway line is surrounded", Lin replied, "So is 40 million troops too much or too little", Chisheng Hitomi asked again, "Relatively speaking, it is average, and the number of people sent by the Scorpion Clan is about the same number each time." However, compared to the Wasteland and the Scorpion Clan, there are very few people, and there are more than 700 million people in the outermost ring of the Great Wilderness City alone. The same is true of the Scorpion Clan, for example, there are at least a billion Scorpion Clans in front of the Octagonal Fortress, and they are still multiplying, and after the Octagon Fortress, no one has ever crossed the Octagonal Fortress, so I don't know what the situation is next", explained Tsuki.
One billion seven billion! Chisheng Hitomi was secretly shocked in his heart, after passing through the Pupil Beast, the entire earth added up to probably not have so many people, which is also too shocking, that is to say, if he is allowed to command today, there will be tens of millions of people fighting hard in a word. "And what about the garrisons around the Octagonal Fortress, and how are the troops", Chisheng Hitomi asked, "There are a total of seven garrisons around here, with a strength of about 10 million, spanning the east and west sides, attacking the defensive lines on both sides", Lin replied. "What about the decision of the Wasteland after deliberation", Chisheng Hitomi continued to ask, "Chi Aid", Lin spit out two words, "Chi Aid?", everyone frowned in unison, "How", the two felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. "I'm afraid that rushing to the aid is the purpose of the other party", Yuan Lian turned the map, "As far as the situation of the Mesterway defense line is concerned, it should be completely besieged now, and the other party has not swallowed it in one gulp, the purpose is to leave a bait for us to continue to reinforce." And when we are tired of rushing to the past, we will definitely be defeated by the other party's easy waiting. Not only will this not be able to save the defense line, but it will also consume resources," she analyzes.
"But even if you can't save it, you have to rush to help, otherwise the prey won't be baited, and the hunter who can't eat the meat can only bite off the bait to satisfy his hunger", Feng Jun crossed his arms and thought, it is basically impossible to drive straight into such a large-scale battle. Take this sneak attack as an example, if you directly step on the defense line and then attack other fortresses, then it will take a lot of time just to march, and if the other fortresses do not receive regular news from the defense line during this time, the entire army will be exposed. Because the march can only be walked, and the message can be transmitted, the time difference between the two is not half a point, so it is the best way to encircle the point and send reinforcements. Even if you knew, you had to save it. "So this time the government decided to send three times the force to swallow all the invading scorpion clans in one go", Lin replied, since the aid must be done, and the other party also wants to surround the point to send reinforcements, then you can't defeat this reinforcement.
"It's a way to not be able to knock out reinforcements, but the other side won't be unexpected. In the past, the battlefield should have been around the defense line, so the terrain from the Mesterway defense line to the inside, the deployment of military forces, or the route of some special potions are safe and stable. If the two sides invest tens of millions of people to fight within the defense line, whether they want to or not, all these facilities in the battlefield will be in ruins and a part of the desert, and at that time, there will be nothing to rely on to defend the scorpion clan again. In the long run, if you win the present, you will lose the future," said Wang Mingjiang, whose point of view is unique, and everyone is thinking about whether they can win or not, and what tricks the other party has. However, he put forward his opinion from another angle, whether this aid is lost or won, it will be detrimental to the wasteland in the end.
"That's true, the wasteland is originally on the wasteland, even if it completely eats tens of millions of people on the other side, and these people can come back in a few years, but these buildings will definitely not be restored without decades and hundreds of years. Being in the wasteland is not enough to say that the other party will not be stupid enough to watch you resume building defenses", Lin also realized this problem, they had never considered it before. Everyone expressed their opinions, Chisheng Hitomi held his chin and bowed his head silently, his mind kept thinking, his eyes wandered on the map in front of him, and after the discussion, everyone also fell into deep thought.
After a while, Chisheng Hitomi, who lowered his head and pondered, suddenly spoke: "Lin, can you bring me a copy of every troop deployment in the war with the Scorpion Clan within ten years or more, the result, and who is in command, which Scorpion Clan's people are capable of spitting out, and so on." It would be better to have the Mestve Line before and after it was built". "No problem, but Childe, what do you want to do with this", Lin wondered, now is not the time to watch this, as far as he knows, there is no battle like this one. "I'm not sure, I just think there's something wrong, you take it first and then talk about it, it's better to count it, otherwise you won't have time to look at it one by one", Hitomi Chisheng still didn't look up, still looking at the map in front of him. "Okay, please wait", Lin opened the door and left, and Chisheng Hitomi continued to stare at the map and think.
