Chapter 1654: Step over with our legs
Lu Xi said that he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He's a crippled blind man now, and if you make a mistake on a static thing like a map, you can make the wrong point. So, he tapped the map with his finger, and finally attracted everyone's attention, and then continued: "In short, I need all the forces of the Sky Rose Legion to land on Skybridge Island before six o'clock tonight. ”
Well, it doesn't matter too much whether the commander is blind or not, the important thing is that looking at him now, it seems that he is a little crazy!
After all the generals looked at each other, it was finally Colonel Grimmar who spoke first: "Your Excellency...... Can the lower official ask for advice? Did you do this to emulate Marshal Nahibia? ”
Colonel Grimmar was (theoretically) not a retainer of Lu Xi, but he was deeply trusted. He even temporarily took charge of all of the Fourth Legion as a non-spellcaster, non-professional group, not even a general. In the current army, which consisted of three legions, his prestige even had a slight taste of being the second man in the army. It is undoubtedly most appropriate for him to ask such questions.
"Naturally, that's it. Back then, in the face of Meg Lorraine's volley of the sea of clouds, Marshal Nahibia's response was so simple and direct. Since the fleet will lose power and control in the fortress in the clouds, it will rush directly on the legs of the soldiers. So, in this way, he led the soldiers of the Fourth Legion to land on this flyover island, and with a shield and sword, he pierced through the fortress in the clouds, through Meg Lorraine, who was heavily fortified behind the fortress, and then hit Elichar all the way. The ancestors are heroic, so why should I follow suit? ”
“…… The most important reason is that Marshal Nahibia has no food in his hands and cannot fight a protracted war. ”
The implication is that we have more than 100,000 tons of grain and materials in our hands, and the 40,000 people under our command can eat and drink every day for more than a year. It stands to reason that the ones inside the barrier should be in a hurry.
"Yes, I can just wait for the other party to die after this fortress in the clouds. I now have complete air supremacy, and with only half of the fleet I can block all the main communication routes of Orso, and then let Astre and Pascal each lead a detachment of divisions to summon around, and quickly wipe out the rebels' local forces. As for myself, I just need to sit here and have a dance party every day, drink a lot, and wait for the whole Federation to decide. All the local powerhouses will lead troops here to make peace with me and swear allegiance to me. Why should we just wait a few days? In a few months, I will be able to gather two or three hundred thousand troops under my command. By that time, the fortress in the clouds would no longer be sustainable, and all the remnants of Elichar's rebels would be starving and discouraged. We don't even have to go through a decent battle to have a triumphal ceremony in front of the ruins of the Azure Palace. ”
This is the most ideal strategic means to deal with the so-called "difficult to attack" famous cities. It's old-fashioned, but it's quite useful. Anyway, the other side has already mastered the absolute strategic advantage, and all the other side's means, whether scientific or magical, or even extraordinary, are just dying and struggling.
"If I were a ruthless conqueror, it would indeed be possible to do so. And this is indeed the wisest thing to do. Lu Xi said.
"So, why are you ......" Hedos couldn't help but open his mouth, but realized that he was not really "his own person" yet, and quickly shut up. He couldn't help but sneak a glance at Alexon, and when he saw that the other party looked cautious and attentive, he couldn't help but be in awe again.
Then, Colonel Grimmar and Valerius, two trusted "own men", exchanged glances, and the latter smiled, as if helpless, but with a little relief and respect: "However, my lord, you are not prepared to adopt this most sensible course. ”
"Wise...... But that doesn't mean it's necessarily right. If I were a ruthless conqueror, what would happen to the citizens of Elichar? Lu Xi said.
The Emergency Committee will try to snatch the last rations of the citizens after the food is cut off, and in extreme cases, they will even use human flesh as military rations. At most, half of the millions of Elichar citizens can survive, even if those gate lords have a conscience.
But even so...... So what does that have to do with you? Whether they were beaten to death or starved to death, weren't they all rebels united by the nobility? When you enter the city and distribute the food to the remaining citizens, they can also be regarded as a finger. Then, won't you be able to ascend to the throne to the cheers of the people and the support of local tyrants from all walks of life? Even if you want to take it for granted, it's not impossible.
As for the group of small citizens, if they die, they will die...... Ah no, it's a shame that they're dead, but it's fate! As long as you sweep down the rebellion and hang the street lamps on the enemies, you can also make them laugh.
If I can figure it out something as simple as this, then you can figure it out too, right?
There must have been many people present who had this idea in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it. Although they disagreed with Lu Xi's decision, they still had some respect.
"Your Excellency is right. We are soldiers, we exist to protect the people, and there is no reason for the people to die for us in any way. If there is nothing to be done, there is an excuse to convince yourself, but since there is a way to break through that fortress in the clouds, there is no reason for the citizens of Elichar to endure another day of torture. Andreil nodded. She was the first officer present to say yes.
Red Thunder looked at Sesilyu and found that this girl had no intention of speaking at all, indicating that she should fully agree with Lu Xi, so it was impossible for anyone present to be able to say the latter, so he said directly: "Then, the problem now is the way to break through that fortress in the clouds." ”
That's the most nutritious thing. As it stands, the massive wall of clouds contains a massive storm of manic lightning and lightning, and the small amount of negative energy and the disordered element that de-propelled the ship are minor problems in comparison.
"As we have just discussed, it is not advisable to mobilize a small number of elites to forcibly break through and destroy the magic circle. Marshal Mencius must be in charge of this, and we cannot afford to lose it. Pascal Dao.
Basically, those who can withstand that kind of thunder and lightning storm are extraordinary masters, and in today's military organization, they are basically high-level commanders, and if they are sent by an ambush, the command system of the whole army will collapse.
"I have a way to neutralize the storm of lightning in the fortress in the clouds." Lu Xi said in a calm tone.
After making sure that he had attracted everyone's attention, Lu Xi said again: "Isn't the left and right a combination of the brilliant artifact and the broken dark canopy?" It's like we don't have an artifact here. ”
This is the analysis, cracking, neutralization, and even countering of large-scale strategic magic circles, and it is the deepest field in magic warfare! It's not that the artifacts are so superficial to each other!
Having said that, seeing Lu Xi's confident appearance, everyone really couldn't say anything.
In fact, Lu Xi felt that if he was given a week, he would even be able to reproduce the arrangement of the technical structure of the cloud wall. However, he didn't want to wait any longer for even three days.
Asterley nodded and began to deploy: "Then, please ask the Sky Rose Legion directly under Your Excellency to land on Skybridge Island as the main frontal attack." Xiaguan also suggested that Xiaguan's Sixth Army Corps and Major General Pascal's Thirteenth Army Corps, with a total of 11,000 men, could try to use the burden of large camel beasts to forcibly log in and attack on Nantori Island and Blue Dragon Island. In this way, on the one hand, they can suppress the enemy's pincer wings, and if they have other arrangements on them, they can also contain them. In the end, all the air cavalry of the whole army, numbering 3,000 men, were under the control of Valerius as a guerrilla force. As for the reserves, they were in charge of the stormtroopers on each ship, as well as Alexon and Hedos. What do you think? ”
Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence, Alexon suddenly said, "...... Relying on the camel beasts to attack, you will suffer a lot of casualties, and you have to attack the salient at the north and south at the same time, and the strength is still a little meager. Why don't you hand over the 6,000 enemies on Nantori Island to us. This, as far as I know, the commander of Blue Dragon Island should be Lieutenant General Carl Ovant, which is also a rare fierce general among the rebels. As for the South Bird Island we are going to face, it should be Elio Ils, huh...... This is my old acquaintance, and the thugs in charge of their Ils family have exhausted all their strength, and I have never heard of such an army being able to command so many troops. ”
Before the rise of the fortress in the clouds, Alexon had been observing the formation and banners on the opposite side, and he still knew a lot about the situation.
"Brother Leon, Sister Tina, don't blame the old brother for leaving you with hard bones." Alexon gave another warm and sincere smile to the two corps commanders as an "apology".
…… Where did this come from? What the hell is a brother and sister?
Major General Tina Pascal felt that she had a toothache and smiled stiffly. She really admired the red thunder light next to her, and at this time, she could still respond to the other party with a smile, without any reluctance.
"However, Your Excellency, the combat effectiveness of the army under our command is not satisfactory, and I ask you to cooperate as much as possible with guerrillas and cavalry when necessary." Alexon and Hedos brought with them all family private soldiers, conscription militia, and certain mercenaries, to put it bluntly, a rabble. It's just that the opponents they will face are the same, even if they are worse, they are half a catty. But no matter how rabble they are, they can be regarded as the "family foundation" of the two lords, and now they are willing to join in to fight a tough battle, which is very surprising, and it is indeed worthy of a 666.
The chubby Hedos had been constantly glancing at the other party before, but he didn't get any response, considering that this friend who had always been smarter than himself must have other ideas, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.
"It's natural, not just the cavalry, if possible, I'll have the stormtroopers under my command to support your front at any time." Lu Xi smiled: "Your spirit is indeed worthy of admiration. The Commonwealth owes you two a ton of medals. ”
Well, that's supposed to be complimenting us, right? Although I always feel that something is wrong.
The two heads of the family showed a stiff and awkward smile, but before they could speak, Lu Xi said again: "Then, let's do what Major General Asterley has arranged." When the thunderclouds of the fortress in the clouds dissipates, it will be the beginning of our army's all-out attack! Now, let's get back to our seats and get ready. ”
