Chapter 307: Under the Fog of War

Waving his hand to signal that his subordinates could leave, and then pacing back and forth in the room alone with his hands behind his back, Luo Zhengdao's mood at this time was a little melancholy, goblins and mad dogs bite people when they see them, counting on conventional means is probably not enough, he has to open up his mind! When he thought of this, Luo Zhengdao turned his gaze to the pet pseudo-dragon who was lying on the carpet beside him and wagging his tail happily, holding a cow stick bone and gnawing on his teeth. This guy eats and drinks with him all day long.,I haven't seen any growth in other skills.,Selling cute skills is practiced to the full point without a teacher.,All day long, in addition to eating and sleeping.,Otherwise, it's a joy to gnaw furniture.,Now it seems to be time to let it play a role.。

"Chirp chirp ......"

As if sensing Luo Zhengdao's malicious gaze, the pseudo-dragon that was entertaining itself suddenly shuddered, and then it tilted its head to look at the owner, and let out a chirp of unknown meaning in its mouth.

Although the power of the magic card can be used to temporarily revive the power of the pseudo-dragon's bloodline, this feat of defying the sky is not the right way after all, and after the power of the magic card fades, the pseudo-dragon only has limited intelligence and strength improvement, but it has made great progress in communicating with Luo Zhengdao, which seems to be related to the professional characteristics of the magic card master.

After telling the pseudo-dragon about his intentions, the little thing shook his head and said that he could do it, Luo Zhengdao was not polite to it, and said:

"Okay, let's try it! Stay safe. ”

"Quack! Chirp ......"

Without receiving the power of the magic card again to activate the ancestral bloodline, the pseudo-dragon that remained in its original shape jumped down from the porthole of the commander's room, circled into the sky with the help of the updraft of the sea during the day, and then spread its wings and flew towards the inland region. Don't look at the appearance of the pseudo-dragon, it has not changed much, after activating the ancestral bloodline through the magic card many times, the lower limit of the pseudo-dragon's IQ has almost increased to the level of a ten-year-old human child, even if it fails to find out the truth that the goblin intends to hide, it will definitely not be stupid enough to put itself in it

Four days later, Luo Zhengdao heard the familiar sound of wings flapping again, and a red figure quickly rushed to his side, looking like a tired bird returning to its nest.

"Chirp coo ......"

The pseudo-dragon, who was eager to show his strength to the owner on the return trip, rubbed Luo Zhengdao's thigh with his head as hard as sandpaper, and chirped happily, although he couldn't understand this call, but the magic card could make Luo Zhengdao directly understand the meaning, this universal translator was a true bunker. After listening to the pet's reconnaissance report, he touched his chin and said:

"Oh, is that so?"

Luo Zhengdao had already thought clearly, the small pseudo-dragon was not the target of the goblin army's vigorous guard against infiltration, and it would become very simple to cross the blockade, the only question worth worrying about was whether it could find out the situation clearly.

In the new world, the professions who can summon animal companions are of course stored in zĂ i, most of them are auxiliary in nature, and creatures with thin dragon blood like pseudo-dragons are not so easy to serve, and it is not easy to transform into animal companions, but it is not very useful, but it can be said to be very chicken. If it weren't for Luo Zhengdao's possession of the characteristics of the incarnation of the law of the magic card master, for the pseudo-dragon with keen intuition, he could detect the invisible sense of oppression, and ordinary people wanted the pseudo-dragon to be obedient and obedient just by feeding and domesticating, it was almost impossible, and it was not necessarily possible to succeed in changing the druid, Luo Zhengdao's perfect cooperation with this little thing was definitely due to the power of the magic card master.

Urgently convened a meeting of everyone, and as soon as Luo Zhengdao announced the reconnaissance news that the pseudo-dragon had gotten, it immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

"What, you say those goals are all fake? Your Highness, is this news accurate? ”

Brando Scarlet jumped up from his chair and eagerly asked for verification, and before Luo Zhengdao could answer, Zola Hegel followed suit:

"It's all disguised, it's impossible!"

Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao laughed, the surprise and exclamation of his subordinates did not shake his confidence, Luo Zhengdao raised his right index finger and said loudly:

"Everyone, please remember that war is a field full of contingencies, anything can happen, and it is best to keep this in mind before you question me."

Brando Scarlet, who was the first to come out, was somewhat embarrassed at this time under the gaze of his colleagues, and he leaned over and said:

"Oh, I'm sorry, Your Highness. I didn't doubt what you meant, just ......"

waved his hand at him helplessly, Luo Zhengdao had no intention of pursuing it, and then beckoned everyone to sit down and continued:

"This source is absolutely reliable, let's refer to this information as a basis for judgment to speculate on the combat intentions of those green skins!"

Zola Hegel, who was also skeptical, glanced at Luo Zhengdao, reached out and touched his cheek, and said:

"Assuming that the locations that have been detected by us are all false targets created by goblins, this means that they hide the real targets, and in order to avoid being discovered by us, they will definitely reduce the number of troops stationed there."

Deeply convinced of this, Luo Zhengdao nodded and added:

“…… But there is one thing they can't hide, those supplies will eventually reach the front-line troops, and these convoys or fleets that transport supplies cannot but go back. ”

Luo Zhengdao's subordinates failed to recruit the kind of demons who mock others at every turn as mortal wisdom, but these subordinates are by no means a group of incompetent people, at this time a staff officer stood up and said:

"Your Highness, the goblins can mix the returning team with other troops, and we can't tell where they're going from a distance."

Hearing this, Luo Zheng nodded in agreement, and before he could say anything, Zola Hegel asked:

"Your Highness, can your information channel provide more detailed information?"

This is not easy to do, although the pseudo-dragon is inconspicuous, and it is difficult to guarantee that the goblins will detect it, and they are not willing to take unnecessary risks, Luo Zhengdao pondered for a while, and replied:

"You can give it a try, but the result is hard to predict, we don't have much time left, the goblins will attack soon, and we can't pin our hopes on this."

The fog of war is a term that most people in the old world know through computer games, and the vast world outside the range of one's own power, whether or not reconnaissance has been conducted, will be covered with a veil-like shadow on the screen.

In the real world, the fog of war is not just a shadow, and battlefield commanders will receive a wide variety of reconnaissance reports at the same time, and many of the messages are still conflicting. For example, if the enemy is preparing to launch a large-scale attack, or if the enemy is preparing to feint to cover the retreat, some intelligence shows that the enemy's strength is weak and vulnerable, and some intelligence says that the enemy army is deliberately showing weakness and luring themselves into their trap.

Needless to say, at such a time, there is no such thing as infallibility, only speculations based on subjective judgment, either based on past empirical analysis or simply based on intuition.

There is a saying in the Old World that says, "Tactics are right because they win; Because the strategy is right, it wins". Too often, the battlefield is not a place suitable for big reason, and winning or losing is only a foregone conclusion in a blink of an eye, so whether a general's decision is justified or not is determined by the success or failure of the result.

After all, their own strength is far from enough to defeat a strong enemy head-on, this is an ironclad fact, and they can't change their denials of being at a disadvantage in reality, and when there is little hope, they blindly shout for war and fight with goblins to the end.

"According to the information we have so far, these four suspected targets are the most suspicious, and it is impossible to narrow down the scope in a short period of time."

Everyone watched as Luo Zhengdao marked four suspected targets on the map, and gathered around one after another, exchanging opinions in a low voice, arguing with each other about where the most likely real targets were. Of the four known alternatives, two are located along the coast, and the other two are upstream at the mouth of a large river, and with the current military strength of the human race, one of them can be chosen at most for a surprise attack. If you forcibly divide your troops to attack, I'm afraid that you won't be able to fight anywhere, which is greed and can't chew it out! This means that even without considering the possibility of a goblin comeback, they only have a one-in-four success rate, and their hope is slim.

Although Zola Hegel, who was too thoughtful in the eyes of others, was not very easy to deal with, he was still a doer, and at this time he raised his hand to stick the short knife he carried with him on the map, and the boatswain said with a seemingly grin:

"It's done! Let's choose one at random, and we'll withdraw immediately after the fight, and we won't play with the goblins. ”

Random guessing is indeed not a good way, but in the process of choosing a person who cannot make a rational analysis, a quick knife to cut through the mess is also a means to get out of trouble. First of all, we have to take into account the transportation mileage and the number of vehicles of the goblin army, and after eliminating all kinds of doubts, the two locations with the highest probability were selected, one is near the coast, and the other is near the big river waterway, this multiple-choice question was finally placed in front of Luo Zhengdao, who was in charge of the decision, except for him, others could not bear the responsibility for this misjudgment, and if you want to be the boss, you must have the consciousness of carrying the black cauldron.

"The goblins will not choose to build a supply base in the internal waters, which means that they are afraid of our threat of force, and the Second Goblin Empire cannot afford to lose this face."

After thinking about it, Luo Zhengdao decided to analyze the opponent's deep thoughts from the psychological level, and it was more reliable to make decisions than to rely solely on intuition, he believed in the old saying that the country is easy to change and difficult to move, and simply and neatly finalized the target of the attack, Shitang Pass, a small port about three hundred nautical miles away from Dongning

The misty and rainy weather obscured his vision, and Luo Zhengdao, who was in this quiet port city through the large artillery mirror in the ironclad command tower, was a little shaken by his previous assumptions, and he muttered:

"The defense is too weak, could this be a trap?"

Brando Scarlet, who served as the commander of the fleet, was much firmer than the suspicious Luo Zhengdao, he smiled and said:

"No, Your Highness. If we concentrate our attacks with all our might, the goblins will not be able to stop them, and ordinary tentative attacks are useless. There are so many suspicious locations, we try them one by one, and fight until all the people are dead is the result that the goblins want to see. Your Highness, don't forget that this battlefield is on the main continent, not the sea of stars. ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao nodded silently, this is indeed the case, if you don't do your best to attack, it will be in the hands of the goblins, since things have come to this point, to be honest, there can only be advance and no retreat.
