Chapter 88 Deployment
Zhang Tong immediately discovered the scout bug. Judging by the images brought back by the Scout Bug, Glacier City's army was dozens of miles away, approaching the outer edge of the ice ridge. There is no doubt that this is in the Snow League. It can be seen that the hiding place of the Snow Alliance has been exposed, and according to the speed of the frost trolls, the vanguard can reach in 1 day, and it mainly takes about 2 days.
This discovery, not to mention the average Snow Alliance soldier.
A group of high-ranking people in Xueling panicked and were uneasy.
Everyone knows that the Snow Alliance is simply not capable of fighting Glacier City, at least now is not the time for a decisive battle. The Snow League has 70,000 undead troops, but the Snow King is not born. He fled for more than 20 days. The soldiers had no fighting spirit and were demoralized. How can this be against Vaughan's army of frost trolls?
Senior officials of the Snow Alliance and senior Terran officials began to talk.
"The news must be blocked!" Xue Lingqiang calmed himself down. "Everyone's morale is low right now. News of Vaughan's army coming to attack had spread. The consequences will be dire. ”
Zhang Tong didn't quite agree with Ling Xue's method. "This approach makes no sense. The Frost Troll Vanguard will arrive in a few days. We can't hide it for the time being, and it's not good for the big picture. Instead of hiding, we should find ways to stabilize the morale of the army and think about countermeasures. ”
Ling Xue felt that it made sense and immediately asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhang Tong frowned and didn't say anything.
Some people suggest "we can't beat it, let's go!"
Lei Ming stood up directly and retorted: "Absolutely not, our country is not suitable for withdrawing troops." In addition, the retreat of the large crowd left a visible trace, and the frost trolls were sure to be able to track it down. ”
The exit price of Snow Alliance will be higher. First, the altar must be abandoned. Without the Shrine, the Snow Alliance would not be able to create an undead legion. What's more, Glacier City is on the doorstep. Is it really necessary to retreat now? Powerful frost trolls can easily detect anything beyond the ambient temperature within a few tens of miles. There are more than 200,000 people in the Snow League, and they can't escape no matter what.
"Since the withdrawal is excluded, fighting is inevitable." Long Hao is a very efficient person, he stood up and said, "We don't have to waste time. We can do some mobilization before the army from Glacier arrives. Hopefully we can mobilize everyone's morale. In fact, with 70,000 undead troops in power and defensive superiority, it's not necessarily impossible to win. ”
"War needs to be fought, but we can't act too hastily. The Snow Alliance has two armies, 70,000 undead troops, and more than 100,000 creatures with low combat effectiveness and low morale. How these troops are used is very important. ”
The speaker was Huang Tian.
Chang Hao Wei asked coldly, "What is Elder Huang's opinion?"
Huang Tian held the sword in his hand and said slowly: "As long as the soldiers use it properly, extraordinary combat power will often explode. The 70,000 undead have nothing to say, no thoughts and feelings, and no fear. They are best suited for fending off powerful frost trolls. The Snow League was demoralized and had no fighting spirit. It cannot be used directly against the enemy. Otherwise, if you get frustrated, you will be defeated and you will be delayed. ”
Zhang Tong listened and nodded: "How is Master Huang going to use it?"
"Give the soldiers a glimmer of hope. “
"Hope, where does hope come from?"
Huang Tian drew his sword, pointed to the map, and said, "Divide your forces to attack the three occupied towns. Because as far as I know, the Frost Trolls have stationed heavy troops in three towns after driving away the Snow Alliance forces. With a large number of frost trolls stationed, they are sure to stock up on food. What we lacked was food. If we seduce them, we will definitely boost morale and let the soldiers fight to the death!"
Zhang Tong understood Huang Tian's thoughts. Huang Tian intends to use the undead legion to deter the frost trolls. The forces of the Snow Alliance are only responsible for assisting. At the same time, it splits more than half of its troops into raids on the rear of the frost trolls and captures food while the troll's main force is ahead.
"Old Blake, how much energy does Dawn have left?"
"Not much, but it's not a big deal to fly for a day. “
Hearing this, Zhang Tong nodded, and his gaze fell on Ling Xue. "This policy can work!"
Ling Xue listened to the human voice. Now she has no clear point of view. She was so depressed that she could only choose to believe Zhang Tong. "What are you going to do?"
Lei Ming walked over and said, "There's no time to explain. Trust us!"
Xue Ling did not hesitate: "We are all in the same boat. Why don't we believe you?"
Long Hao stood up with his sword and said, "Chairman Zhang Tong, we are divided into two armies. On the other side of the Dawning spaceship, get ready. As for the people outside, I'll do it. ”
Zhang Tong nodded: "No problem!"
At the end of this brief meeting, the crowd left the makeshift venue and Zhang Tong headed straight for dawn. He wanted to empty the Dawn to make more space and load enough soldiers. As for Long Hao, with the help of Ling Xue and Mangshi, he summoned all Meng Xue's soldiers to hold a mobilization speech before the battle.
This is very important, especially now.
Thousands of people gathered around the altar.
The snow floated in the sky, and the soldiers stood in the snow, one after the other weak, earthy yellow, with blurred and dazed eyes.
For more than a month, they have lost loved ones or friends in the battle at the ice and snow pass. Then the Ice City army invaded the territory, seizing towns that had been around for hundreds of years. Eventually, they fled to the Snowy Ridge and endured 20 days of hunger and cold. Most of these soldiers have no formal military training. As they endured mental and physical torture, the soldiers felt hopeless from the bottom of their hearts.
Ling Xue walked up to the altar, swept the crowd with her eyes, pretended to be calm and confident, and said, "Dear compatriots, Meng Xue is facing the most severe test in history! We have lost our home, the environment is very difficult, everything is temporary! I am confident that I can defeat Glacier City, and I hope you can also strengthen your faith." Because the ancestors will be with us......"
Xue Ling said a lot, but the reaction was not ideal.
In other words, everyone has no power.
"Let me do it. ”
Long Hao walked up to the altar.
Xue Ling nodded slightly to him, and then stepped back.
Long Hao stood on the high altar, calmly looked down at the crowd, and suddenly said, "Are you hungry?"
The crowd stopped.
Long Hao continued, "I haven't eaten for three days, and now I'm too hungry to hold a sword. I think there are people who are treated worse than me. A soldier who is not even stable with a sword still talks about fighting, and such a soldier forms an army, and still fights? Am I right?"
The people of Meng Xue are talking about it. They didn't know what Long Hao wanted to say.
Long Hao pulled out the crystal blue sword and swooped in the direction of the ice ridge. "The food is in the hands of the ice trolls. Why don't we catch it?"
"Steal food from the frost trolls?"
"Isn't that death?"
“......“
Maybe it was too much craving for food, and finally someone reacted.
Long Hao withdrew his sword and said loudly, "We are trying to drain the main force of the Frost Trolls and thus leave this town empty. It's a piece of cake for us to capture the huge amount of food hoarded in town during a raid. We've been waiting for our chance, but not long ago, the opportunity we were waiting for finally came! Vaughn, the frost troll, had led his main force out of the fortress, and now there was no army to guard the town. If we attack now, we'll be able to take a lot of food from the frost trolls and lay the foundation for our future victories!"
"Food?"
"Is there really food?"
Food is so tempting for a hungry crowd!
After listening to Long Hao's words, everyone was excited.
Although there are some glaring flaws in the words, no one cares so much about food!
Looting food from towns taken by frost trolls is currently the only way to get food quickly to sustain an army of over 200,000.
Long Hao continued, "The Frost Trolls are already on their way. They don't know our plans yet. They can't go back in a short time. However, we have a high-speed spaceship as an advantage. Choose a brave army now and come with me to kill and take the food in town!Do you have what it takes to fight World War I?!"
"Yes!"
The deafening sound echoed across the earth.
"Good!"
Long Hao nodded with satisfaction.
"It's not too late to start picking teams. Let's get started. ”
If we were to fight the frost trolls directly, it would be difficult to mobilize the fighting spirit of the Snow Alliance, but with food as bait, these hungry red-eyed people would be even crazier than normal. Long Hao selected a force of 50,000 men. Zhang Tong is ready. 50,000 soldiers lined up to enter the Dawning spacecraft. The entire spaceship slowly stuck. The hallways were packed with people.
As for the remaining 100,000 people, even though they didn't go with them, Long Hao promised to give them a glimmer of hope.
As a result, morale has increased a lot.
As long as it lasts until the return of the Dawn spacecraft, then the hunger problem that has plagued us for many days can be solved!
Bring food.
Only then will we have the motivation to live.
The crowd swept away their decadence and immediately began to deploy defenses according to the arrangement. The army of frost trolls will arrive soon. The purpose of the Frost Trolls is clear. It must have come with the intent of destroying the altar and taking Pluto's coffin. This is the only hope for a victory.
The Frost Trolls have deployed more than 50,000 soldiers.
However, frost trolls have deep bloodlines and high defensive abilities. At the same time, the army is well-trained and combat-ready. What's more, Vaughn, the presence of this cutting-edge combat power, can definitely be achieved if he is determined to destroy the Shrine.
Division.
Long Hao and a group of people followed Dawn to attack the three towns.
Zhang Tong stayed on the icy ridge and personally participated in the defense. He divided the army into two parts. One part lies in ambush between the nearby valleys and mountains, where the frost trolls must pass, and the other part lies near the altar to protect the dead.
Dawn is ready.
"Wood, you have to be careful!"
Leng Yun also set off with Dawn, except for Lei Ming, Du Rongrong, the fat man, and a few people who lost their dogs.
Zhang Tong made an OK gesture to them.
The hatch of Dawn closes, and the ship begins to activate, slowly floating into the air, then turning into a streamer and disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Tong took a deep breath when he saw that everyone was ready to defend. I hope it works!
