Chapter 683: Underground River

As Duan Bo, who is responsible for managing the underground world, when he heard Li Ran's decision, he hurriedly said that there was no problem, and through this period of time to take over, he gradually became familiar with his work.

For his idea, Li Ran immediately expressed his support, the area of the underground world is too large, if the fleet is allowed to go to each mining area one by one to stock up, it is really a bit of a delay, and the underground world has low-level free labor, which can completely concentrate all the mined minerals together, which will also facilitate their future transportation.

"How are you doing with the internal investigation work of the underground world" After chatting for a while, after finalizing the matter of building the transfer station, Li Ran opened his mouth to ask.

Duan Bo shook his head and said, "We have detected a position of more than two hundred miles at the farthest, because it is blocked by an underground river, and we have not found anything abnormal for the time being."

"Underground rivers?" Li Ran sighed and asked, "Then do you need professionals to build bridges?" ”

At this time, Zhou Xun on the side said: "Regarding this matter, Captain Duan has already told me, and I have already sent the relevant personnel, but because this underground river is relatively wide, it may take a while."

In this regard, Li Ran nodded and said to the Duan team: "After the bridge is built, you will continue to investigate, although we are mainly developing the surface territory now, but the underground world contains all kinds of minerals, and we can't miss it."

Knowing what Li Ran meant, Duan Bo nodded and said, "Okay, I have been supervising the construction of this matter, and after the bridge is completed, I will continue to send people to continue to investigate."

At noon that day, I looked at a group of children frolicking in the snow in the distance, including not only the Terrans, but also the Leopard Race, the Minotaurs, the Dwarves, and even a few Giant Clan children whose size was no less than the height of adults. Li Ran couldn't help but smile slightly, although he was not a sentimental person, he could let a group of little guys grow up carefree in this cruel world. At this time, he was very happy to see all this.

"Lord! Histan is back," said Barranca's bodyguard Uschi when he suddenly came to his side.

Looking at the group of children in front of him, Li Ran nodded and said, "Tell him to wait for me in the conference hall."

And after Wu Qi left, Li Ran turned around and said to Tucker swordsman Gilro: "You go to find next Zhou Xun, Qian Hui, Wu Tongtong and Lord Xia Houben, and ask them to wait for me in the conference hall as well."

That's all that is said and done. Li Ran looked at the frolicking children in the same place for a while, and then personally found Doric and the old village chief Morga, and came to the conference hall with him.

After receiving a notice from Gillo, hearing that Li Ran had something to look for them, Zhou Xun and the others also quickly rushed to the conference hall.

"Master, is there something wrong?" Seeing that Li Ran was talking with the two adults and Histen, Wu Tongtong asked first.

After letting everyone do it, Li Ran thought for a while and said, "I have something to tell you, during this time, you cooperate with the people of Morga to load all the ballistas in the territory and transport them to the elven territory." At the same time, the troops were ordered to be put into combat readiness, and we may be heading to the elven territory in a few days."

"Attack the elven territory!" Hearing this information, several teammates couldn't help but be startled, and Zhou Xun hurriedly asked, "Don't you want to transfer troops back?" ”

In this regard, Li Ran shook his head and said: "No need, only the existing personnel in the territory are enough."

At this time, everyone was even more puzzled, Wu Tongtong looked at Li Ran and asked, "Master, there are more than 30,000 elf troops over there, and we only have more than 20,000 people now, is this really enough?" ”

Li Ran smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, although that elf tribe has captured our territory. But because they were fleeing, they didn't have food reserves, and the harassment of Tang Shi and Phantom Bingnan in the past month has also made their food even more scarce. Now because of the shortage of food, the actual combat ability has decreased a lot, and although the terrain of the elven territory is hidden, it is backed by mountains on both sides, so we are not attacking the city this time, as long as we block their road to the outside world."

Heard Li Ran say this. Zhou Xun and the others immediately understood what Tang Zhi and Phantom Ice Nan were doing in the past two months, it turned out that Li Ran was using Tang Shi's reconnaissance ability to use Phantom Ice Nannan to command the Frost Mastiff, using their speed and advantage in the snow to cut off the other party's food source.

It is conceivable that a tribe of elves of more than 60,000 people, who fled from the Leices Mountains, must not have brought much food, and finally found a territory and took it with great difficulty, but the food source was cut off, what a troublesome thing.

When these invaders came, it was already winter, and it was definitely too late to plant food, and if they came out to collect, there were more guards, and the food collected was not enough for the troops to consume, and there were fewer guards, and they could withstand the attacks of thousands of frost mastiffs, at this time, Zhou Xun and the others could imagine the dilemma of this elf tribe during this time.

At this moment, Zhou Xun and the others finally understood, it turned out that Li Randa had launched a war against this invader from the moment he was transferred back to Tang Zhi, but the only perpetrators were Tang Zhi and Phantom Ice Nannan, plus thousands of frost mastiffs that came and went like the wind and had strong attack power.

For Zhou Xun and the others, even if Li Ran said that they could attack, it must be the result of various considerations, and the scout leader Histan beside him at this time is the best proof, then what they have to do next is to deploy troops.

Finding the elven territory on the sand table in the conference hall, it can be seen that the sand table in this area has been refined, and even the nearby hills and streams are very clear.

After discussing for a long time, while determining the location of the arming, Li Ran also set up the entire arming into three layers, and the front line was about fifteen miles away from the first floor of the elven territory, using the high-speed troops such as frost mastiffs and praying mantis warriors to carry out all-round patrols, harassing and attacking the opponent's collection troops with all their might, so that the opponent was always in a state of readiness, and at the same time destroying some of the rapid planting sites they set up outside.

The second layer of defense is mainly based on some cavalry and brute bulls, if the opponent pursues the frost mastiff and mantis warriors in small numbers, you can consider cooperating with the attack, and never allow the opponent to have too many collection points for collection.

As for the last layer, that is, the third layer, is the large force attacking the elven territory this time, if the other party is not willing to be trapped to death like this, then this is the main battlefield of the battle between the two armies, so as to avoid the huge losses caused by the siege.
