Chapter 1257, Strategic Retreat

The follow-up news has not yet been sent, but Luo Ji has clearly felt the crisis of the situation in the north.

If he couldn't stop those eight ironclad beasts, then it was estimated that his entire northern territory would have to fall.

This wave is too risky for Luo Ji to hesitate.

In the original world of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, William Zhang still had to take Ysera to guard against the Hydra and the Dark Elves, but in this current situation, in this battlefield of all-out war, the Hydra and the Dark Elves did not exist at all, in other words, they could be temporarily freed from this post!

Hurriedly issued an order, ordering William Zhang to take the elven dragon Ysera to aid the north.

At the same time, now that the enemies on all three sides have appeared, the large forces that were originally gathered in the eastern and western borders can be withdrawn.

One thing at a time, quickly lay it out.

Luo Ji obviously didn't expect that he would encounter a giant beast unit like the Iron Armor Beast that could almost ignore artillery bombardment and mine damage in the battle of the Silver Rank.

This made him have to add a new research and development project to the ordnance research department, which has been busy with various weapons research and development recently, that is, armor-piercing bullets!

The types of shells used by Luo Ji's current artillery units are all typical high-explosive shells, and in this era, under normal circumstances, high-explosive shells are much better than armor-piercing shells.

Armor-piercing shells are generally used to deal with high-defense units, such as armored tanks, steel battleships or something, but before that, the demand has been very low, and it seems unnecessary, so Luo Ji didn't add new work to the Ordnance Research Department.

And in this situation, if you want to deal with the behemoth of the eight-headed orc civilization, in addition to Ysera, armor-piercing bullets have obviously become an indispensable weapon.

The design of the armor-piercing bullet, Luo Ji actually opened it when he opened the box before.

Of course, the level is not high, it is just the black iron level design that was opened from the black iron treasure chest by his little black hand.

But in the current situation, he has no better choice, so make do with it.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji decisively took out the design of the black iron-level armor-piercing bullet, and then asked Luo Yunxi on the side to send it to the Ordnance Research Department.

During this period, in order to grasp the initiative, before the people themselves found out the news of the fall of the Winter Fortress, Lu Yang and Ye Hua announced the matter quite simply through the newspaper.

After the newspaper was published that day, it undoubtedly caused a violent response.

All of a sudden, it can be said that the entire civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds is talking about this matter.

Some people maintained an optimistic attitude towards the 'strategic retreat' of the garrison troops in the north, feeling that this was a tactical arrangement by their Ten Thousand Realms Civilized Military and that there was no problem.

But on the other hand, there must be some people who are worried.

For this reason, at the suggestion of Luo Ji, the newspaper arranged an interview again.

Of course, the protagonist of this interview is not Luo Ji himself, he pushed Guo Jia, the chief of staff of the military command, up, and Luo Ji himself still has a lot of things to do and has no time to take care of these.

As one of the most senior ministers under Luo Ji, Guo Jia is naturally comfortable with this little thing.

And after the newspaper for this interview was published, the response from the people was also quite good.

Looking at this situation, Lu Yang's move to strike first decisively played a role, and this 'strategic retreat' did not make the people feel too uneasy, coupled with the exclusive interview with Guo Jia, the chief of the military general staff, which quickly stabilized the people's hearts.

Obviously, the people are still very confident in their civilization of all worlds, so these seemingly simple measures can reap such good results, and everything is based on the 'people's will'.

And at the same time, the other end ......

Outside the southern border of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, Charlie Crumbel's expeditionary army slowly overwhelmed the border.

Looking at the mountain forest in front of him, his face did not show any hesitation, only to see Charlie Crumbel wave his hand, and the soldiers with oil drums in their hands quickly approached the mountain forest.

Obviously, he planned to repeat the old trick and burn the mountain forest with a fire, while avoiding his own possible ambush, he was also weakening the opponent's terrain advantage.

His hand can be said to be quite simple and rude, but this time, when those soldiers were still a hundred meters away from the outskirts of the mountain forest, an unexpected situation happened suddenly.

A burst of gunfire came from the mountains and forests, and under the accurate shooting, the bullets that flew out of the forest could be said to have burst the oil drums in the hands of those soldiers on the spot.

At that moment, the almost zero-distance impact of the explosion and the rapidly spreading flame wave can be said to have taken the lives of those soldiers on the spot.

Even the other soldiers who were standing around them at that time were tragically affected at this moment, and they were engulfed in the hot flames on the spot, and in the terrible screams, they were burned to charcoal.

"All troops on alert!!"

With a loud roar, the Europa army in the distance quickly went on alert.

By the way, it is worth mentioning here that since it was known that the enemy army had an ultra-long-range range, at this moment, except for the soldiers who stepped forward to set fire to the forest, the Europa army under the command of Charlie Crumbel was completely standing almost 1,500 meters away from the mountain forest.

After Lisuo burst the oil drums and killed the soldiers who tried to set fire to the mountains and forests, the southern garrison troops hidden in the mountains and forests had no intention of killing.

They are waiting for reinforcements, so it can be said that they are not in a hurry at all.

Not to mention, due to the special environment of the southern elf forest, in addition to the special troops of the elf clan in the southern garrison, the rest of the human soldiers are also typical mountain field soldiers, they are very good at fighting in the mountain and forest terrain, under this premise, how can they give up their own terrain advantage?

When all the soldiers he sent were wiped out, the entire battlefield quickly calmed down.

At this moment, in the formation of the Europa army, Charlie Crumbel, who was under heavy protection, looked slightly ugly.

At this moment, he suddenly missed the catapult that he had eliminated a long time ago.

At this time, if there was a catapult, he would be able to use the power of the catapult to throw the oil drum directly.

Of course, as mentioned earlier, catapults have long been obsolete by the times.

In this way, a look of thought flashed in Charlie Clumbel's eyes, and at this time, he seemed to have no other choice......
