Chapter 57: The Clouds of War
"Smack......
Liu Lei slapped the table, stood up abruptly and said: "We can't wait, whether the news is true or not, we have to take action, otherwise if it is true, then we will all die miserably."
After speaking, Liu Lei looked at the two of them and said, "We have to plan now according to the bad news that Sunset City has been captured, Brother Zhu, you will immediately organize people now, settle down the people who have just taken over, and immediately strengthen our wall."
Zhu Dezhi knew that the time was pressing, so he hurriedly went to prepare, Liu Lei looked at Li Tianlong again and said: "Uncle Li, you immediately recruit troops to expand our soldiers to 300 people, and then hurry up to train, let's pray now, if Sunset City is captured, we only have ten days to prepare at most, and the enemy's army must not find out that we are a place where birds don't."
Li Tianlong also hurriedly went out to arrange after hearing this, Liu Lei only sat on the chair at this time, but this was the panic on his face, although he was a traverser, but he was only a student in his previous life, how could he have experienced this kind of battle, it was not that he didn't want to take the townspeople to move again, and he could hide in the fortress at the very least, but he didn't dare, if it was usually Liu Lei could also carry his father on his back and move Qingfeng Town to this valley, but if it really started, the laws of the Federation stipulated that there was no order from the City Lord's Mansion, Every nobleman and official must not retreat without permission, and must hold out to the last soldier, otherwise he will be punished as a deserter.
Liu Lei didn't expect the City Lord's Mansion to give him an order to retreat, he only hoped that neither side would notice his small place now. Otherwise, with his little family background, he is not even cannon fodder, and he is almost an ant.
The good mood of returning home was completely covered by this bad news, and another night of restlessness passed, Liu Lei, who couldn't sleep early in the morning on the second day of his sophomore year, suddenly heard someone shouting outside that Liu Bushan was back, Liu Lei hurriedly didn't even have time to put on his coat, so he rushed out. I saw Liu Bushan with two subordinates, walking into the door with a tired face, Liu Lei hurriedly greeted him, although he was very anxious, but he couldn't help seeing the haggard appearance of the three people. Liu Bushan was also very happy to see Liu Lei coming back, he simply said hello, and went to eat and clean up first, and when Liu Bushan came to the hall, everyone was already sitting there waiting for him, Liu Bushan hurriedly confessed to Liu Lei, Liu Lei said: "Brother Liu, don't see outside, it's all your own people, you better tell us the news, I came back yesterday and heard about it, but I couldn't sleep well." ”
Liu Bushan listened, and saw everyone's anxious faces and smiled lightly, Liu Lei suddenly felt relieved, he knew that the matter might not be as serious as he thought.
Liu Lei hurriedly asked, "Is it that the Storm City State did not attack Sunset City?" ”
Liu Bushan opened his mouth and said: "I attacked, but I didn't knock it down."
"Oh, don't sell it," Liu Lei said dissatisfiedly.
Liu Bushan hurriedly continued: "The people of Stormwind City did have the idea of sneaking up on Sunset City, but when they were about to arrive, they were discovered by a group of expeditions, although they were hunted down, but there was still one person who fled back and told the news to the people of Sunset City, and the lord of Sunset City got the news and immediately gathered all the soldiers in the city, and withstood it for three days, and now the first reinforcements nearby have arrived, and all the nearby troops have also gathered there, it is estimated that the operation of Stormwind Castle has failed, It should be able to retire soon. ”
Although he was relieved to know that Sunset City had not fallen, Liu Lei still felt that something was wrong from Liu Bushan's news.
"How many troops does the Stormwind City State have in Sunset City," Liu Lei suddenly asked.
Liu Bushan thought about it for a while and said: "According to the information I received, several expeditions have more than 100,000 people. ”
"More than 100,000 people? Obediently, this is nearly half of the strength of the Stormwind City-State, if it really can't capture Sunset City in a short time, then it should be retreated soon," Li Tianlong said.
"How many people are there in Sunset City?"
"More than 20,000," Liu Bushan replied.
"No, no," Liu Lei said.
All three looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Lei opened his mouth and said: "You also heard it just now, the Storm City State is an elite army of more than 100,000 people, and Sunset City only has 20,000 people, and they are all private soldiers with no combat experience in the territory, not to mention a sneak attack, even a hard attack with real swords and real guns, it should also be defeated."
Then Liu Lei looked at Li Tianlong and said, "Third Uncle, if you were the commander of the Storm City-State, what would you do?" ”
Hearing this, Li Tianlong lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "If I lead the troops, of course, I will directly sneak attack and take Sunset City, so as to open the south gate of our Tianqi City, and then sweep our rear, and then turn around and attack the main force of the front line back and forth, completely eliminating our main force."
After Li Tianlong's words were finished, Liu Bushan nodded in agreement, Zhu Dezhi simply didn't understand any military attempts, and could only listen to the three of them talk.
"Yes, if it were me, I would do the same, but why hasn't the army of the Stormwind City taken Sunset City for a long time," Liu Lei said, which was the last thing everyone could figure out.
Liu Bushan said: "By the way, I also heard that a letter of help from Sunset City has been sent, and there should be a large army back soon."
Liu Lei, who was spinning in circles, heard this, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of the tactics of the motherland in his previous life to fight the invincible opponents all over the world.
Liu Lei hurriedly asked, "Uncle Li, you said that if the Stormwind City-State directly captures Sunset City, how many days will it be able to occupy the southern border?" ”
Li Tianlong opened his mouth and said: "The large and small lords of the entire southern territory of our Tianqi City State must have fifty or sixty together, and every family has a private army, not to mention that the terrain is complicated, it should be able to last for a month!" ”
Liu Lei continued to ask: "Then if you don't purge these weapons, do you dare to go directly into it?" ”
Li Tianlong thought seriously for a moment and said, "Don't dare!" Although there are more than 100,000 troops, if these people are not eliminated, they will definitely be threatened if they rush into the logistics supply line! ”
"That's right," Liu Lei slammed his fist on the table.
Liu Bushan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, young master, do you know what's going on?"
Liu Lei didn't answer in a hurry, but turned his head and asked Liu Bushan: "Do you know how long it will take for the army to return to the south?" ”
Liu Bushan said: "If the weather is ruled out, it will take at least fifteen days. ”
After receiving Liu Bushan's affirmative answer, Liu Lei sat on the stool in despair and said, "This group of guys is going to surround and help."
Liu Bushan still didn't understand and asked, "Young Master, what does it mean to encircle and send reinforcements?" ”
Liu Lei picked up a teacup and put it in the center of the table, pointed at it and said: "This is Sunset City, the entire southern border is around it, Sunset City is the gateway to the southern border, you said that now the portal is threatened, what is everyone thinking?" ”
Liu Bushan said without thinking: "Of course, it is to rescue immediately!" ”
Li Tianlong had completely understood when he heard this, and he suddenly stood up and said with a pale face: "Young Master, do you mean that the army of the Storm City State has not captured Sunset City for a long time because it wants to attract all the troops scattered in the southern border, and then wipe them out?" ”
Liu Lei nodded frustratedly and said: "I'm afraid that's it, only in this way can we eliminate the army in the south as soon as possible, and then drive straight in, and deal with the army of reinforcements with confidence." ”
When it comes to this, only a fool doesn't understand, and everyone shudges down their backs at the thought of the consequences of this.
