An important metropolis and port changed hands twice in a short period of time, a few months apart, which was a shame for the Second Goblin Empire, and the military could not foresee how the consequences of this event would evolve. The first loss can be said to be a surprise attack, caused by carelessness, how to explain the second loss, is it possible that the powerful goblin army that claims to be invincible has overslept all over?

Although there have been other plans, in order to fight for this breath, the goblin high-level decided to put out the heavy army group after consultation, this is not only to repel the invading human army, but more importantly, to show the powerful national power of the second goblin empire, to deter those hostile forces that are ready to move, don't think that the goblin has become a toothless tiger, this beast will still eat people. Due to the above two considerations, the Goblin Military Department made a painstaking effort and sent six regular divisions and two mixed brigades, as well as four fleets under the navy, with a total strength of more than 200,000 troops and no less than 1,000 large and small warships. Although there is no lack of water in this number, purely from the comparison of numbers, the human camp is directly compared to the goblin army that is violently slaughtered.

Soldiers, horses, money, and food are the confidence of military strategists to win victory, and it is an evil way to count on the white wolf with empty gloves, and it is not a good ability to win more with less once in an occasional time, it is nothing more than the embodiment of luck and the ability of the commander. If every time you start a war, you hope that you will be lucky again, defeat the superior enemy army with fewer victories, and gamble on the fortune of the country on this basis, then it is 100% that the commanders' brains are sick.

"Will, are you waiting for goblin reinforcements to arrive?"

Vina Dubov's question seemed very common to Luo Zhengdao, and he said lazily:

"Yes! Didn't you all guess it? ”

“…… Can we win then? ”

These words came from the mouth of Zola Hegel, who was always not afraid of big things, and it gave people a slightly different feeling, Luo Zhengdao turned his head to look at him when he heard the voice, and suddenly smiled and said:

"Hehe, I'm not dizzy yet. Zola, what do you want to say? ”

As soon as he heard this, the boatswain no longer concealed his original intentions, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's do our best to move the battlefield! The initiative is in our hands, we can fight wherever we want, the goblins can only chase the tails, and while they are busy chasing, we can find an opportunity to attack their weak points. ”

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao nodded again and again, applauded and said:

"Zola, your command skills have improved!"

In the Napoleonic Wars of the Old World, the Gallic soldiers were known for their long marches, and they constantly carried out a wide range of tactical maneuvers, forcing the enemy to temporarily change their pre-deployment to cope with the changes, and finally found the best time to start the war in the maneuver. Another army, known for its ability to march, performed such a military miracle as the Long March, and to put it bluntly, the straw sandals and iron feet of the Red Army soldiers contributed even more to victory than the guns and other weapons in their hands. When and where to launch an attack is determined by the more mobile side, and this is precisely the watershed moment in controlling the outcome of the war.

After praising his right-hand man, Luo Zhengdao's words changed sharply and continued:

“…… This time the situation is different, we are not here to defeat the goblins. ”

Even Zola Hegel, who had seen countless big scenes, would not make a fuss when the sky fell, and his jaw almost dropped when he heard Luo Zhengdao's statement, and he muttered and repeated:

“…… Not for victory? ”

"That's right! The goblins are threatening me with human slaves from the main continent, who want a truce and are unwilling to bear the reputation of peace talks, so they are inciting those fools to create public opinion. ”

Intrigue is the racial specialty of the drow elves, and they finally broke free from the purgatory-like torture, and the boatswain was unwilling to deal with these intrigues anymore, so he immediately made it clear that he said:

"Your Highness, I don't understand what you said, I only know that you can't win goblins on the battlefield, and they won't admit defeat."

Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao clapped his hands and laughed, and said:

"Well said, Zola. We're going to give those greenskins a punch, knock out their teeth, and then sit down and talk about peace, and now the problem is that we can't beat the goblins too hard. ”

No matter what time and place, it is easy to make something simple complicated, and conversely, it is not so simple to make something complex.

Indeed, Luo Zhengdao hopes to use force to deter the goblins and prevent them from continuing to use human slaves to make a big fuss, and at the same time, he cannot beat the goblins to the point of annoyance and anger, or even madness. This can be called a subtle sense of proportion, the technical difficulty is comparable to the legendary magic of fighting cattle across the mountain, in the case of staggered placement of bricks and tofu, only broken bricks under one palm, tofu is not damaged, and the difficulty coefficient in actual operation is beyond ordinary people's imagination. The reason why he maintained a siege but not attack on the Grand Canal City was because he received information that the goblins intended to drive human slaves to fill the trenches.

In order to avoid that extreme situation, Luo Zhengdao gave up the battle plan of directly seizing the city for defense, and had to put the goblins in the field environment and fight them until they were convinced.

Behind the goblin is the tyrant. The god of politics, Bane, the gods' bad perception of the goblins' nonsense has been suppressed by this powerful god for the time being, Luo Zhengdao has to be careful to beware of what tricks the goblins play, and even more beware of this god's dark hand, in this regard, Banne, who once sent a sage to personally hunt down and kill Luo Zhengdao, has a criminal record.

"These guys are representatives of the alien tribes near Dongning?"

At the first glance of this group of unexpected visitors, Luo Zhengdao's mind suddenly appeared in the derogatory adjective word of the bandit and grass coward, it was by no means that his prejudices were too deep, discriminating against other non-human intelligent races, it was really that the appearance of these guests was too sloppy and sharp, so that it was a little difficult for Luo Zhengdao to even maintain a polite smile.

"Your Highness, we want to be helped, and we want revenge on those greenskins."

The lower body is bare-derew, and the upper body is wrapped in a mess of colorful clothes, like a walking Christmas tree, this straightforward orc representative speaks the lingua franca with a big tongue style, and the slurred words force Luo Zhengdao to prick up his ears to listen in order to tell what the other party said, he has no problem with giving some sponsorship, and the other request of the other party is too unexpected.

"You're going to war, too? No, really no, we can handle those goblin armies. ”

Those uncontrolled allies are even more difficult than the tough enemy in many cases, and God knows how strange things they can do on the battlefield, otherwise, the people of the old world would not have created the phrase "not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates".

No matter what Luo Zhengdao thinks, war has its own laws, the so-called arrow has to be sent on the string, when both warring sides have pulled their feet and want to stop, then they can only wait until one of them destroys or both sides are exhausted

The scorching sun of noon scorched the earth, the barren fields were overgrown with waist-deep weeds, and the fields on both sides of the road were no longer irrigated by the hard work of human farmers, and the once fertile land was returned to nature.

The fierce artillery exchange in front had just subsided, and in this artillery battle, the humans and goblins were tied, and Luo Zhengdao's new artillery had the dual advantages of rate of fire and accuracy. However, the number of cannons equipped by the Goblin Army is terrifying, and if it weren't for the human air power, this long-range firepower competition would not have started, and the human race would probably have to admit defeat first. Knowing that the opponent was about to attack, the human army was preparing to strengthen its defenses, and as the grass shook in the distance increased sharply, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the battle was about to break out.

A flare suddenly swept across the sky, drawing a falling arc like a rainbow, and the breathing rhythm of the human soldiers on the ground began to become rapid, which was a signal from the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft that a goblin army was trying to attack, and a new battle was about to begin.

"Grenadier ready! The first row stepped forward. Pull the strings! Throwing! ”

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

According to the loud shouts of the non-commissioned officers of the front-line troops, the human soldiers opened the battle in a consistent pace, and did not have to go to the battlefield with cumbersome and easily ineffective fire ropes in the wind and rain, the new generation of grenadiers had much more peace of mind than their predecessors, and could devote all their energy to dealing with the enemy instead of worrying about the reliability of their weapons, which greatly strengthened their combat effectiveness.

The Goblin Wolf Cavalry, who were rapidly leaping on the opposite side, chose to accelerate from the left flank of their own array, and they confidently charged forward, the problem was that it was a huge mistake to blindly judge their opponents according to the old eyes. These goblin wolf cavalry were immediately hit in the face by the roar of stone pine powder, and paid the price of their lives to experience the changes brought about by the technological innovation of weapons, what an unfortunate thing! The casualties caused by the previous long-range artillery bombardment were negligible, and only in the course of the charge of less than three hundred yards were they were successively attacked by the human army five wheelers. Grenade bombardment and dense volleys of gunfire.

Amid the terrible screams, less than one-tenth of the more than 3,000 wolf cavalry who participated in the charge passed through this death zone where blood and fire were intertwined, and they were greeted in front of them by fire destined for humans. The gunners used as a cover for a mixed formation of halberds and spears, so it is not surprising that the light cavalry units were completely annihilated.

"How is this possible?"

The goblin commander who put down the binoculars couldn't believe his eyes, and a wolf cavalry that strengthened the wing was so lightly finished? With less than a quarter of an hourglass to be scattered all over the place, could it be hallucinating?

The second goblin empire and Luo Zhengdao have a lot of bad fate, since he crossed over, the two sides have been constantly playing the cat-and-mouse death game, and the goblin who played the role of a cat from beginning to end only found that Will Needham's mouse has become extremely dangerous. The opponent's strength is increasing, and this trend is not a day and a half, before it was mainly the goblin navy that was dealing with Luo Zhengdao, and the goblin army had few opportunities to fight him, but in most cases it was still besieged by absolutely superior forces. The Goblin defenders were often attacked by powerful firepower before they had no chance to organize effective resistance, and then were quickly defeated by the assault forces, which inevitably gave the Goblin Army the illusion that the opponents were only relying on firepower superiority and sneak attacks to win.

Even during this period, generals such as Modo Heishui and Zheti Hakusan, who had been missing for a long time, repeatedly emphasized to the military headquarters a series of astonishing achievements made by Will Needham and his subordinates in the field of weapons technology and tactics innovation, most of these words were regarded as the lamentation of the losers and the excuse to exonerate themselves.

The goblin army, which thinks that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, has never regarded this army formed by human exiles as a henchman, and this time they met on a narrow road on the frontal battlefield, and the wolf cavalry of a wing was disabled by the opponent in one face, and the goblin can be regarded as a bitter fruit caused by the frivolity and arrogance of the past.
