The magicians of the Heroic Wizard Regiment came to Skarna City through the portal in the name of visiting the Magic Guild, but they had a letter of recommendation from the magic mage Delonso, hoping to travel around the Alchemy Country, and the Magic Guild of Scana City naturally did not dare to stop it, so they had to let it go. You know, in the Alchemy Country, Delonso's status is even higher than that of Ainsey, let alone in the wizarding world. This was the second time Higg had used the Magic Guild to play a side game, and this time it was made possible by using Delongso's connections.

When Higg teleported the battle of more than 500 heroic mages to the command post of Zhan Xini, it was already four days after he came to the Alchemy Kingdom.

The port of Zhansini is still operating as usual, merchant ships are still coming in and out, and warships are still lying in the harbor, but the shipyard is very busy, especially at night, and the lights are still bright.

The assembly in late spring and early summer, the dark night of the Alchemy Country is still very long, and the people of the Alchemy Country seem to have become accustomed to working in the long dark night and cold, which is not a big deal for them.

Five days after Higg took office as commander-in-chief, all the warships and merchant ships were camouflaged according to the original plan, a total of twenty warships and merchant ships in the port of Zhansini were exchanged for camouflage, and at the same time, twenty-three merchant ships and warships in the ports of the Alchemy Country also completed the camouflage exchange, on the night of the sixth day, these "merchant ships" quietly left their ports and quietly scattered southward, very scattered, at the same time, there were more than 20 real merchant ships and cargo ships loaded with all kinds of supplies and even naval sailors, He also drifted south above the vast sea and disappeared into the cold night.

These dozens of real and fake merchant ships will completely not follow the route, sail freely to the designated sea area of Shenlong Island, and then capture the ports along the coast of Shenlong Island, they have no choice but to burn the war to the enemy's territory.

Watching these "merchant ships" sail away from the harbor, Higg finally breathed a sigh of relief, there are still forty-three Alchemy Kingdom warships that are still in Zhanxini Harbor, plus more than 20 merchant ships camouflaged in the city warship, which are also placed in Zhanxini Harbor.

"Commander-in-chief, what should we do next?" Modolik, who was at Higg's command post, asked Higg.

"I don't understand naval battles, you are an expert, you say, this naval battle, how should we fight, you shouldn't ask me!" Higg asked.

"More than forty warships, relying on the harbor, we fight hard with them, and we may not be able to damage and sink twenty or thirty of them!" Modoric said, "We can do our part here, reduce the pressure on the princess's fleet, as long as the fleet of the Alchemy Kingdom can be reborn, even if we are all sacrificed, what is it?" ”

"You still want to fight hard!" Higg laughed, "Although the courage is commendable, it is actually worrying! Chief of Staff Lufasi, you are well-informed, how do you see how we can not lose money in this battle? ”

"It's impossible not to lose money!" Lu Faxi said with a smile, "However, it depends on where the loss is, if it is a loss of money and materials, it may not be possible to sink more than ten or twenty of their warships, it depends on whether the commander-in-chief is willing or not!" ”

"It's none of Command's business!" Higg smiled, "This commander doesn't care about logistics affairs, I only care about whether we can expand the results of the battle, and the matter of money and food has nothing to do with this command!" ”

Modolic watched the two of them talking and laughing, and hurriedly said: "Commander-in-chief, Chief of Staff Lufasi, you say, how to fight, no matter how much money it costs, as long as you can inflict maximum damage on the enemy, no matter how much money you spend, the prince plus the identity of the admiral will be on your top!" ”

"Then you may not need to be on top!" Higg smiled, "This commander just wants to know your Admiral's determination to resist the enemy, you don't even want your life, of course you don't care about money and food!" With your support, things are much easier! Chief of Staff, you say, all the people here are close associates of Lord Admiral, and there are absolutely no outsiders! ”

"Well, since the Alchemy Kingdom has such determination, it really impresses me!" "First of all, we must be sure that we will be defeated, and the port of Zhansini will inevitably fall, this is an indisputable fact!" Our advantage lies in the fact that we know that we will be defeated, so we will break the net with the enemy! Such a war or campaign is called an unbalanced war or an unbalanced campaign, that is, no matter how we fight, we are determined to lose, but our goal is clear, that is, to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, regardless of the consequences, regardless of the cost, because we already know the consequences of the end! ”

Lu Faxi walked to the coastal defense map of Zhan Xini Harbor, and continued: "Secondly, the sea area of Zhan Xini Harbor is large enough to carry out a large army naval battle, so the enemy has nothing to fear, but because the harbor is large enough, their fleet will be relatively loose, while we can concentrate all the fleet, form a local advantage, and concentrate on annihilating some warships!" ”

"Chief of Staff!" Modoric shook his head and said, "Even if a local advantage is formed, but the enemy has the upper hand to attack, the speed is extremely fast, and reinforcements will be available soon, I am afraid that before we have time to encircle and suppress, the enemy will come over!" ”

Lu Fasi nodded and said, "There will indeed be this problem, so we have to stop the enemy's warship reinforcements!" I counted about forty or fifty merchant ships entering the port every day, and from tomorrow onwards, the merchant ships entering the port will remain the same, but half of the merchant ships leaving the port will be requisitioned. Now there are about 100 merchant ships in the harbor, and if we collect 200 merchant ships for another three or four days, we will be able to do it again! By arranging all these merchant ships at the front of the battlefield, five merchant ships in a group, all connected by chains, we use fake warships as false targets, and let them enter the chain network formed by the merchant ships, which will inevitably hinder their speed. In order to make these merchant ships and cargo ships not useless after being knocked and overturned, every merchant ship and cargo ship must be loaded with at least half a ship's timber, which must be strung together and tied together with horizontal wedges, one is to increase the weight of the hull, and the other is not to sink the hull later, so that a large part of the enemy's warships will be trapped in the merchant ship chain network in a short time, and we ourselves know where the real passage is, at this time all the warships attack, Locally surround some of the trapped enemy ships and destroy them! ”

"At the cost of two hundred merchant ships?" Even Modolic was taken aback, and then said with great joy, "However, this method is really exquisite, we can move, but the enemy can't, so it is much more pleasant to kill!" ”

"Two hundred merchant ships are a little less!" Higg said, "Chief, can you stay a little longer?" ”

"No way!" "All our tactics are based on the uneasiness of the enemy's attack, and if we leave too many merchant ships behind, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the enemy's reconnaissance patrols and make the enemy take precautions, which will backfire and outweigh the losses!" We can't let the enemy know their purpose until we know their purpose in advance, and 200 merchant ships and cargo ships must be properly arranged, and it may not be impossible to stop most of the warships! ”

"It's a pity that Lan Xian'er is not here, she, an expert in formation, will definitely have a clever way to put out the most suitable formation!" Higg sighed, "Well, the chief of staff and I are working overtime to reluctantly arrange for these two hundred merchant ships and cargo ships!" ”

"Commander-in-chief, the iron cables connecting these large merchant ships and cargo ships must be extremely thick, how can you get so many together in a moment? There is also timber, timber for two hundred ships, this is to cut down all the trees of my alchemy country, you know, the alchemy country is an extremely cold place, it takes decades for trees to grow into timber, most of our timber is imported, and now even if the treasury is half empty, there is not so much timber! ”

"This commander can't manage so much!" "Immediately send an order to Divara, the logistics director, to prepare timber and pig iron at once!" There is not so much timber, even if you demolish the house, you have to give this commander to get it together and transport it to the harbor within three days, and it must be loaded within two days! As for the iron cables, the craftsmen who had already completed the camouflage ship did not have much to do now, so they were ordered to hurry up their construction! Lord Admiral, you are in charge of the military, not logistics, and it should not be you who has a headache, but the Prime Minister, the commander-in-chief of logistics, if he can't complete the task, this commander will behead him! ”

"Hehe, whoever has a headache and whose responsibility will be paid by my alchemy country when the time comes!" In the eyes of Modolik, Higg is simply an out-and-out big demon king who kills people without blinking, and even he, the big prince, does not dare to disobey.

"Lord Admiral, there are difficulties, and it's not that the command post doesn't take them into account!" Lu Fasi said, "In this way, there are enough timber for a hundred boats, and the rest is replaced by wheat straw, although the effect is much worse, but it is indeed too difficult to allocate such a large amount of materials for a while!" However, if you can't even get together a hundred ships, let the logistics manager fight this battle! ”

"This king's mansion in Zhan Xini Harbor was demolished first, and the wood was pulled here!" Modorik looked very responsible, and said, "Generals, Admiral Ben knows that many of you also have houses in Zhansini, and Admiral Ben does not ask you to demolish them all, but after leaving enough houses to live in, what is the use of leaving other surplus houses?" In order to sacrifice fewer officers and soldiers, for the honor of our navy, can't you take responsibility? Admiral Ben promises that if you can complete the objectives of the battle, the generals who demolish the house will add one more level to each of you's military merits! ”

"I'm willing to demolish the house, there is not a single house left!"

"I'm willing to tear it down!"

"Lao Tzu doesn't have a house, who doesn't want to demolish a house?"

……

The deployment of the military order was completed, it was late at night, everyone went back to the camp to arrange preparations for war, Higg and Lu Fasi, but hesitated in front of the map, how to set up this formation, in order to prevent the enemy's rapid movement to the greatest extent, Higg's formation attainment is above Lu Faxi, but he knows nothing about naval warfare, so the two need to complement each other to complete this big thing.

"Hehe, the eldest prince of the Alchemy Kingdom, it's still quite interesting!" Lufasi laughed.

"People are good, but they are not good people who govern the country!" Higg laughed.

"If there is no war, it may not be impossible to govern the country, but it is a pity that you were born at the wrong time!" Lu Faxi said with a smile, "The chaos in Middle-earth is inevitable, and the Alchemy Kingdom really doesn't need a king who lacks courage and only blindly seeks perfection!" It's a pity that one eldest prince and one second prince are in charge of the navy and the other are in charge of the army, and they are unlucky to bump into you! ”

"That's why I, a layman who doesn't know anything, will be pressed to this position by Ainsey!" Higg said with a smile, "Our defeat here is in stark contrast to Nicole's big victory on Shenlong Island, making a judgment from above, so that all the people of the Alchemy Kingdom are sober, what kind of crown prince do they need!" It's a pity that you, the general staff, always want to do something perfect, and if you want me to say, it's best to let this place lose completely! ”

"Hey, hey!" Lu Faxi smiled, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, if you really lose here, you and I don't have the face to say, we haven't dealt heavy losses to the enemy, and it's ruined Princess Nicole's big thing, causing the princess fleet to be in a dilemma, so it's called the real body!" These two princes are not bad people, it's better to save some face, otherwise, you will offend your brother-in-law, you don't want to be a man! ”

"Hahaha, you always like to debunk other people's ideas!" Higg laughed, "That's not good! ”
