In Presti City, outside the Ionian barracks, a slightly tired team was ushered in, and Chen Yin rode a horse at the forefront of the team. After clearing the remnants of the Noxus in the North City, Chen Yin received a scout information from the Ionian Wartime Commander and General Ryan, who said that the remnants of the Noxus in the West City had all retreated and were now incorporated into the Noxus Chinese army in the East City area. At the end, the secret letter also mentioned that Chen Yin should rush back to the Ionian military camp in the city as soon as possible to participate in an important combat meeting, even if the miscellaneous army in the northern city was not cleared, he should temporarily let go and return "quickly". The overlapping of the two quick tone particles allowed Chen Yin to imagine General Ryan's anxiety and the urgency of the matter.

Ionia Barracks Headquarters, in the battle conference hall, a huge Presti city sand table occupies almost the entire space of this hall, every building, every street, every bridge, and every river in the sand table is made flawlessly, this sand table looks like it is from the hands of a large and professional sand table production team. Now the people around this sand table, everyone's chest and shoulders are shining with stars, here is concentrated all the senior generals of Ionia in the city of Presti, if the Noxian army can get a missile from Pittwolf, as long as it bombs here, the entire senior generals of the Ionian army will be wiped out, and the rest of the war will not need to be continued.

However, as a permanently neutral country, the Pitover Alliance has never provided its own technological weapons to participate in any war on the Valoran continent, as a landlocked country bordering all forces, Pittover can maintain this status quo by two main means, the first means is to "take advantage of the situation", any federation that wants to invade Pitover must take into account the backlash of other bordering forces against this behavior, and one will accidentally make himself a public enemy of the whole continent, This kind of thing, the War College will not do, the Federation of Demacia cannot do it, Freljord does not want to do it, Noxus does not dare to do it; The second means that Pitover can always maintain neutrality is "suicide", the suicide here is not to kill himself, but to drag others to die together, according to rumors, Pitover has been circulating throughout the Valoran continent since the founding of the country Such a legend, the first prime minister of Pitover has been promulgating the "Gunpowder Reserve Treaty" for more than 600 years of history, each prime minister of the Pitover Federation needs to complete a huge amount of gunpowder reserves during his term of office, and then seal these high-explosive materials in reserve, It was finally sealed somewhere underground in the Pitover Confederacy, in order to correspond to another founding treaty, the "Treaty of Wartime Incineration", which stated in the final note that if the Pittroom Federation encountered a hierarchical threat of invasion that would eventually lead to the destruction of the country, the "Pact of Wartime Incineration" would be activated and all the explosives stored in the "Gunpowder Reserve Treaty" would be detonated. After these hundreds of years of gunpowder reserves, if Piltover really detonates the explosives hidden in the ground, I believe that when the time comes, it will not only blow up a Pittover Federation, but also very likely to blow up the continental shelf plate underground, if the continental shelf plate is broken, it will cause irreversible geological disasters on the Valoran continent, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis will bring catastrophe to the entire Valoran continent. Such a special and shameless and rogue country, no one wants to deal with it, if you love neutrality, you can be neutral, even a war-loving country like Noxus does not dare to put too much pressure on Pittwolf. (Do you take it?) Defy! Convincing or not? If you don't accept it, if you don't accept it, then you come to beat me, if you dare to beat me, I will dare to blow myself up)

Therefore, although all the senior Ionian generals are concentrated in this sand table hall at this moment, no one is worried that a missile will fall from the sky, let alone that their group of people will be wiped out by weapons of mass destruction, because it is simply impossible, the only country with weapons of mass destruction is Pittwall, and Pittwolf, a neutral country, is so special.

In the battle hall, all the senior Ionian generals are lined up on both sides of the sand table, pointing at the red and blue flags of the enemy in the sand table, and on the command platform in front of the sand table stands Admiral Ryan, the current supreme commander of Ionia, and beside him is a burly and majestic bear warrior and a heroic middle-aged general, these two are Chen Yin's good brothers Sabo and Zelos.

The three of them don't communicate much right now. Saab is still a little timid, because of its huge size, it is not easy to squeeze into this battle hall, it has to be careful at all times, for fear that if you don't pay attention to it, your fat ass or thighs will cause trouble, and accidentally crash into this delicate sand table somewhere in the set. When he learned from Zelos that he had spent three years of taxes in Presti City to build this panoramic sand table, Sabo was so frightened that he didn't dare to gasp or move his hands and feet, he was afraid that he would blow away the river set in front of him with a sneeze that was ground into powder of sterling silver, and he was afraid that his fat belly would accidentally crash the sand table chassis made of turquoise in front of him. It now somewhat regretted following Zelos to this meeting.

Zelos is now in a trance and has a sad face, and his brows have been tightly twisted into a Sichuan character, since he and Sabo were treated by the senior monks under Master Soraka, the physical injuries have been fully recovered, but they are slightly mentally tired, after recovering from the injury, Zelos wanted to report to Admiral Ryan immediately and then lead the troops to fight again, but Admiral Ryan asked Zelos to recuperate first, in addition, some generals who had a good relationship in the past looked very unnatural after seeing him, It was as if something was being hidden from him. Eventually, before leaving for this meeting, Zelos found out the reason from a former subordinate, his own sister, Irelia, who had been badly wounded in today's battle and was carrying back to her death, was still being treated by Master Soraka. Zeloth's mind was now in a mess, and he forced himself to maintain a high level of concentration, not to abandon the responsibility of the rise and fall of his family and country because of his own selfishness; But he thought that this military meeting should be over quickly, so that he could go and see for himself the real injury of his sister.

When Chen Yin arrived at this combat conference hall, he immediately noticed the abnormality of the two brothers, Sabo's excessive restraint, and Zeloth's absent-mindedness. When walking past the Ionian officers along the way, these generals looked at Chen Yin with admiration and gratitude, and they saluted Chen Yin one after another, so that Chen Yin had to keep bowing his head all the way, and it took a long time to walk from the door to the sand table command platform, and stood beside Ryan, Zelos, and Sabo.

After the veteran general Ryan waited for Chen Yin to stand still, he picked up a long, silver metal baton from the front of the command platform, pointed to a large area with red and blue flags in the east of Presti City, and officially began the combat discussion.

"The Noxus Chinese Army, with a total strength of 100,000, commander Sain, after the end of the battle of Xicheng and Dongcheng today, the Noxus side scattered and reorganized about 30,000 remnants of the army, a total of 130,000 troops, and our side is facing off outside the inland river in the southeast corner of Tongguang Avenue, behind us, in the direction of Nancheng, there is the Noxus Southern Army, and the general with the troops is Major General Vladimir, with a total strength of 30,000. Our army currently has a total strength of 65,000 troops, of which ............ infantry troops"

"The specific situation is these, not only is our side far inferior to the Noxian army in terms of strength, but now it is blocked by the Noxian side back and forth, and if the war starts, it is easy to fall into a situation where the enemy is attacked on the back and back. Our only advantage is that there are still more than 10,000 war horses, and we can equip 10,000 cavalry to gallop on two fronts at any time, and the Noxian army that invaded the holy city is mainly an infantry army. If our frontal battlefield collapses and these three refusals fail, we will have to fall into street fighting, in which case we will lose everything. Colleagues, is there a better proposal? If there is, please speak freely, even if we have a chance to win, we must try bravely!! ”

After listening quietly to the speeches of Admiral Ryan and several staff officers, Chen Yin stared at the red flag on the sand table representing the stronghold of the Noxian army without blinking. From the east to the south. And from the south I saw the west and the north directions. After silently thinking about it in his heart, Chen Yin decided to open his mouth to say his thoughts, although he is not an Ionian, nor is he the commander of the army here, but he has a strong heart and firm belief, once, his mentor weapon master taught him such a sentence, which made him very recognized, "Where the Tao is, although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go to ......." No matter what desperate situation you are in, you must firmly believe in your ideas and judgments, even if they are not recognized, you must do it firmly.

"General Ryan, ladies and gentlemen! I have a few words to say. ”

Seeing Chen Yin take the lead in speaking, the old general Ryan was also very happy, and he hurriedly asked the staff officer to take the baton and prepare to hand it over to Chen Yin, and listen to his strategic and tactical arrangements. Chen Yin took the baton, but did not immediately point to the sand table in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and then tried to open his mouth and asked, "Old general, if we can save our remaining more than 60,000 combat strength for the next day, we will try to break out of the city first, what do you think?" ”

The old general shook his head and said, "No, the rise and fall of the family and the country is the responsibility of the husband, not to mention, we are soldiers, even if we die, we will all die on this land of the Holy City, O Presti, guard this place, shed the last drop of blood, this is the honor of every soldier of our Ionia." The old general's words made the rest of the generals in the battle hall nod their heads one after another, and their eyes were firmly in agreement.

And these few words also brought back to Zelos, who had been floating in the sky, and he also looked at Chen Yin with a serious face and said, "Brother Chen Yin, when you became famous in the First World War, you were defending the War College, and you also dealt with the Noxus Army at that time, think about it, if our soldiers really withdraw, what will happen to the million remaining people in this city?" What will happen to the unarmed priests and monks? And your savior, Master Soraka, whose telepathic words you've probably heard too? Their end will be even more bleak. We soldiers can die, but we can't retreat! And we must die in front of the land and people we need to defend!! ”

"Good, Brother Zeroth! With your words, then I will say my true thoughts, but in this case, there may be an army dedicated to sending people to the dead to attract one of the main pursuit troops of Noxus! Chen Yin was also very happy to see that Zelos had finally come back to his senses, especially when he saw that many Ionian generals didn't mind life and death at all, so he could put forward another proposition that he had already thought of without reservation.

"At present, our forces are at an absolute disadvantage, and the frontal battlefield confrontation and stronghold defense are not necessarily guaranteed to withstand the onslaught of the Noxian infantry army, so why do we have to fight with the Noxian army on both fronts in the city at the same time? If we can induce Sain to divide our forces, we will have a chance of victory. That's what I think, let's start arranging tonight, first lurking the main force on the necessary route to attack the southern city, and then using the method of suspicious soldiers to pretend to make the Noxian army believe that our main force is still in the east city, and is about to prepare for a head-on confrontation with the main force of Sain, and then pretend to be invincible after one touch, and then use the method of suspicious soldiers to create smoke and dust for the withdrawal of large troops, and then pretend to preserve the strength of the army and divide the troops to break through in two ways, all the way to the west and all the way to the north, there are no Noxian defenders in these two directions, The main purpose is to attract the pursuit of the main force of the Chinese army in Sain, if we can divide its troops into two and lead them out of the city, our main force lurking in the city will first eat the 30,000 Noxian troops in the south city in one fell swoop, and then quickly detour from the south city to the outside of one of the west and north two cities, ambush one of the Noxian pursuers, attack it unprepared, if we can successfully destroy it completely, then our remaining forces will be the same as the remaining forces of Noxus. In that way, you can win or lose in a head-on battle, but in this method, one of the two units of our army that breaks through in the west and north must make sacrifices......"

The old generals Ryan and Zelos listened carefully to every word Chen Yin said, their eyes couldn't help flashing, and the two of them nodded silently after looking at each other, Chen Yin's ideas were both bold and risky, and there was a bit of a sword going sideways, but this was indeed the only opportunity to change the tide of battle. Subsequently, everyone made more revisions to the strategy proposed by Chen Yin, and these small details of the modification would make this battle even more tragic, and these modifications turned out to be the death-like plans proposed by the various generals present. For example, the troops facing the East Route Army of Sain must not pretend to be low, they must fight to the death and blood, and must completely destroy at least 10 or more complete 1,000-man formations, so that the Noxian Army can convince the Ionian defenders of their heart to fight to the death. The next two retreating troops should also be fought and withdrawn, as far as possible to a half-crippled state, but also to completely attract the anger of the Noxus chasing army, the main Ionian army ambushed in the southern city with 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, the decoy of the west city and the north city of 10,000 each, after the strategy is revised, it is equivalent to a total of more than 60,000 people in the Ionian army, there are 20,000 soldiers for this battle, directly played the role of sending death, this kind of fearless sacrifice even Chen Yin, the proposer, felt unbearable. 8)
