Chapter 496: Tactical Superiority
The second scouts closed the report that the Thousand Spider Army began to retreat, and the New Year's Eve was full of excitement.
He didn't know that his Ji Ge had been seen through by others. He thinks he has everything under control, sees through the enemy's external strength, and is proud of it.
Soon after the retreat of the Confederate forces, he also set up camp. began to follow the ass of the Union army unhurriedly, keeping a pound, relatively safe distance. And the other army led by Tima also began to change direction without a trace, preparing to cooperate with him to encircle the main force of the alliance army that he thought he thought.
The total number of troops exceeded 400,000. Daxdo was filled with confidence in victory, and he was confident that he had disrupted the enemy's deployment and sabotaged the enemy's plans.
He began to imagine the panicked appearance of Jian Chen and Mo Fei, and he was full of ambition.
He was sure that as long as he defeated the army led by Jian Chen himself, then Morriel in Decrok City would also collapse, and then people would find that in front of him, the strongest lord of Negan, the former dragon queen and the so-called savior, it was nothing more than that. He will receive everything the Alliance has to offer, magical chariots and aerial ships, as well as iron man and gargoyle crafting techniques.
He's going to get stronger, and even if Jade can take advantage of the emptiness of his borders to make a little more profit? Sooner or later, he will make Jade understand that the only one who can finally become Negan's master is the great Minotaur Wizard Daxto.
The only thing he was worried about now was whether the mysterious elemental clan would suddenly appear out of thin air, as they had done in the Doomsday Campaign.
It was the only variable he feared. It was precisely because of this fear that he never dared to rashly attack Jian Chen when he had absolute superiority in troops.
To guard against such variables. Daxto's army was heavily guarded to the point of outrageousness. And the scouts in the army are even denser around the army, monitoring the wind and grass in the nearby area day and night.
He does have enough attention to the enemy. It's just that he got one rather important thing wrong, that is, what the Alliance Army relies on is not the Elemental Race at all, and the reason why they dare to challenge an enemy several times their own with weak forces. Relying on it, it is a remake of the Doomsday Blade, which is a combination of the divine power of the Dragon King and the Doomsday Judgment.
I didn't know that the alliance had an artifact like the dragon king's divine power and a dark magic master who could use the Doomsday Judgment, and I didn't know that Christine, an old rival who had made him suffer a lot on the continent of Erathia, was in the alliance, which became the root cause of Daxto's defeat this time.
He thought that he was driving the enemy into his pre-designed trap step by step, but he didn't realize that it was actually himself who was entering the trap.
This changed the direction of Negan's situation. The final location of the battle, which marked the beginning and end of the era of Negan's four lords, was in a region called Petver.
The army led by Daxdor's general, the Minotaur Tima, after finally revealing their true intentions. took the lead in occupying this area, lined up the formation, and intercepted the return of Chen Jian's return to the army.
And the main force led by Daxdo himself also suddenly accelerated at this time, approaching the Union Army. Drive the Union forces to the area.
Mo Fei cooperated with Chen Jian and others to lure the enemy in Deklock, and pretended to be too late to deal with it, so he pretended to be panicked and sent a reinforcement army. He pretended to leave Deklockburg, and then shrank back as if he found that there was no hope for rescue
It is interesting to note that Petervale is one of Negan's most famous ancient battlefields, and it is said that it was here that the Negan royal family fought a crucial battle and eliminated a powerful enemy. before it finally rose to prominence and later established the Negan Kingdom?
"Daxdo chose this battlefield here. Seems to be trying to prove something to the Negans? After Christine learned about this, he analyzed rather gossip, "He really thought that he had a chance to unify Negan, it was just too arrogant!" ”
Chen Jian didn't care: "This is not bad, in the future, we will have another highlight in the promotion of Negan!" And it's very barren here, just right for the Doomsday Judgment, so you don't have to worry about causing accidental injuries to civilians! ”
It's different from Christine's heartless lightness. Jian Chen's face was quite solemn.
Because he knew very well that even the use of the Last Judgment had severely damaged the enemy, this battle. It's going to be an uphill battle.
Although Doomsday Judgment is strong, it is not an invincible existence, and the black dragon in the enemy army is not afraid of magic. And those mages who can protect themselves with magic shields will not fall in the Doomsday Judgment like ordinary soldiers, and the total strength of the enemy is more than 400,000, judging from the information returned by the scouts, the number of dragons in the opposing army is as high as thousands, and the number of mages is not a few.
The alliance army is strong, but the high-end combat power is too little. The dragon king's divine power and the ball of destruction can't work at the same time, those thousands of dragons and magicians. It also depends on the real swords and guns of the alliance army to fight.
This made Jian Chen a little helpless, the alliance army currently has two major weaknesses, one is the lack of troops, and the other is that there are too few high-end troops. In the first battle, the only ones in the Lianming army who had the strength to confront the enemy Rilong head-on were the Ba Xiao Army and the Holy Demon Army, but the combined strength of these two legions is only a little more than a thousand troops.
This situation reminded Jian Chen of Esrena, who was still lurking in the territory of the Erathian Empire at this time.
If there hadn't been such an accident on the Angel Clan's side, with the help of the Angel Clan's power, he would undoubtedly be more sure of today's battle.
And Daxdo is too cunning, even if he has already occupied the advantage in troops, he is still not careless, the tactical layout is quite ruthless, and the time period he chooses is quite unfavorable for the Alliance Army. At present, Daxdo's two armies are constantly approaching the alliance army, and with their encirclement, the front and rear of the alliance army are now full of enemy troops, and Daxdo is closing the encirclement.
At this time, it was already dusk, and based on the speed of the movement of the Dax army, even if the Dax army rushed overnight, it was estimated that it would not officially begin until the morning of the next day.
But here's the problem, because Jian Chen didn't know if Daxdo would rush overnight, so the time of the battle might be in the morning, or it might be postponed, if Dax's was a little more extreme, and sent light troops to march quickly overnight, it was not impossible to launch a sneak attack tonight.
This means that the Alliance Army is destined to not get a full and good rest tonight, and must be ready to fight at any time, while the Daxduo Army, which has the initiative and the advantage of troops, does not have such a problem.
This made Chen Jian even more worried.
The strategic advantage can also be changed through tactics, and now the alliance may have the upper hand strategically, but in tactics, Daxdo is clearly superior.
Before the decisive battle, he was actually hit by the enemy's tired tactics, Chen Jian was very helpless, if he didn't know that the scope of the Doomsday Judgment was extremely large, even if there was an accident, the alliance army could use it to destroy more than half of the enemy army and break out, he was really worried that Daxdo would be very scoundrel and not attack, and drag the alliance army down alive.
Even Christine had to admit that Daxto's tactics were indeed very effective, and perhaps Daxdo didn't realize how much trouble his arrangements would cause to the Union Army, but his actions had undoubtedly made the situation facing the Alliance Army worse and worse.
With the issuance of one order after another, the alliance army began to prepare nervously, a simple camp was built, everyone could only take turns to rest, ready to fight at any time, a large number of scouts took off and landed from time to time, sending Chen Jian and others the latest information on the enemy's movements.
In comparison, the attitude of Dax's side is undoubtedly much more calm, except for the high-level generals who know the existence of the elemental clan, most of the Dax's army thinks that this battle is no suspense.
400,000 against 60,000, unless a miracle happens, they really have no reason to fail.
What's more, on the other side was just a guy they had never heard of before, leading the lead, not the dragon queen who made them fear.
But at this time, Daxto's heart was not easy, and the previous joy would be swept away.
He smelled a hint of danger.
Everything seemed to be going a little too well, so smoothly that he began to have the illusion that the enemy was cooperating with his plan.
It was a terrifying feeling, but Daxdor couldn't find out what the problem was.
There is still no sign of the elemental clan, and Daxtor firmly believes that no matter how great the ability of the elemental clan is, there will definitely be some precursors for a castle to appear out of thin air, but now that the war is about to start, it is still calm within the range that the scouts he sent can monitor.
Too normal, but not normal, Daxdo became more and more uneasy.
This feeling of danger made him feel 120,000 spirited, so he ordered his army to slow down, and then sent an army of about 50,000 men to set out for a tentative attack.
At the same time, he sent 50,000 men as a reserve to distance himself from the army, just in case.
These cautious practices made Jian Chen even more depressed.
The enemy's advance force is not tight, because according to the advance speed of this army and Daxdor's army, when this advance force attacks in front of the alliance army, Daxdo's army should also be within the attack range of the magic of Doomsday, and as soon as Barty launches, these two parts of the enemy army will be finished together.
However, the enemy's reserve force of 50,000 people was outside the range of the magic strike, which meant that the Alliance Army could not destroy all the enemy forces at once.
In this way, the alliance army has to deal with, in addition to the enemy's thousands of black dragons who are not afraid of magic, a large number of magicians, and an additional 50,000 new troops, if this happens, then the alliance army after the doomsday judgment is used, it does not occupy too many advantages.
"Lang.". After staring at the map for a long time, Jian Chen finally couldn't help but let out a national curse that he had long forgotten. (To be continued)
