Will the war of the Principality of Stormwind to retake the Golden City be a protracted war that is far away?

After repeated extremely detailed strategic analysis and sand table drills, everyone came to a very helpless result, and I am afraid that this is the case. At the moment, the more than 500,000 men led by Enriquez simply did not have the ability to attack the Golden City.

There are many difficulties in attacking the Golden City. First, the infinite army of skeletons had a huge numerical advantage over the human army, making it extremely difficult for the soldiers to storm the city early. Second, the Golden City's protective circle is under Victor's control, and has been transformed by the Abyss, making the Golden City indestructible. Third, Victor and several of his generals held too many troops back.

Even the arrival of Alan and Afra, plus Cayton and the Green Dragon, can only form a partial advantage, if it is against the defensive circle or other skeleton generals, even the three of Allen are also a little difficult, and they can't fundamentally kill or disperse Victor.

In addition, Victor's skeleton generals seem to be infected with the plague virus, and many of the soldiers involved in the battle are infected with wounds and have no cure, and a terrible disaster may soon spread. As a reborn, Alan has never advocated passive response, but when the advantages and chances of victory are not around him, Alan will decisively choose to give up.

Although the Golden City is important, Alan knows that unless Grand Duke Enriquez obtains more powerful assistance, he will miss out on the good development situation if he wastes his energy on the Golden City for a long time. Alan knew very well in his heart that the battle of the plane was not an overnight thing, it was a real protracted battle.

Mo said that now that the Principality of Storm is tired of fighting, and there is no more powerful combat legion that can come to support Grand Duke Enriquez, even if there is, what can you do if you recapture the Golden City, the next time the skeleton army attacks again, Enriquez's army can only passively defend the city again, if it is besieged for a year, what should it do? Can an army of humans be like an army of skeletons, without eating or drinking?

Eren made his point very clear at the military meeting that if the Golden City could not be captured for a long time, Archduke Enriquez should seek more powerful assistance, such as the blood elves in the south. If not, they will simply abandon the Golden City and seek other development.

At first, Enriquez showed considerable confusion about Alan's statement. Thinking that Allen's thoughts are very negative, as the lord of the Golden City, this is the glory of Enriquez, this noble gentleman has no reason to give up easily.

It was only as the military research continued, that Enriquez gradually understood Allen's concerns. Indeed, even if Alan and the others launched a general attack now, and sacrificed their lives to recapture the Golden City, then next time, if Victor makes a comeback, what will happen?

The Raspar steppes are a vast expanse of land where the city of gold occupies the course of several rivers, but its geographical strategic significance is largely small.

Allen said: "If we regain control of the Raspar steppes and put hundreds of millions of living beings under our rule, then in the next ten years, we will not be afraid of food shortages, we will not be afraid of shortage of soldiers, we can fight against Victor's forces town by town." We can even use many tricks to transfer Victor away, and when that time comes, the dilemma of the Golden City will naturally have a solution. ”

"However, if we have consumed the vast majority of our forces in the attack and defense of the Golden City, and the capital of the Principality of Stormwind cannot send reinforcements, not only will we lose the opportunity to regain control of the Raspar steppe, but we will not be able to hold even the Golden City again."

Allen's point is clear: "Perhaps we should admit a short-term defeat, and then scatter our forces across the prairie, control the valuable veins, control the grain production, and control the military arteries, which is our real means of fighting the abyss." We and the abyss are originally different in the way we fight. As long as the rule of the nobility is not extinguished, the forces of the abyss will not want to completely control this area. ”

Many of Allen's words sound very sharp at this moment, and it is clearly a kind of abandonism at the extreme. But if you look at it ten or twenty years from now, this would be a very far-sighted statement. Right now, people can't even find a way to expel the abyss forces, or even where they came from, isn't it a protracted war?

Now, the Battle of the Abyss has only been going on for a few months, and Alan knows that it will be very difficult to get everyone to accept his views. As a nobleman of Raspar, if the city lord finally orders a death attack, for the belief that he will protect all his life, Alan will naturally be at the forefront, but he still has to clarify his views.

If you don't talk about these things, do you have to wait until all the decisions are made before you talk about them slowly? As the deputy commander of the southern theater of operations in the Principality of Stormwind, Alan knew that sometimes, he should have made some noise.

Perhaps out of trust in Alan, or perhaps Enriquez also saw the difficulties of attacking the city, on this day, Enriquez took the initiative to find Alan and discuss countermeasures.

"Alan, why do you say that many of my nobles in the Prair of Raspar rebelled and threw themselves into the arms of Victor?" Enriquez was the first to speak out his confusion, and upon hearing this, Alan knew that his persuasion had worked.

"Quite simply, force. As long as they obey Victor, they can continue to rule their territory, and if they betray Victor, they can face war. Alan said.

This kind of reasoning is very superficial, and Enriquez can naturally understand it: "So, after we led the army south, some lords are still reluctant to join because they don't think we can win, right?" ”

"Maybe that's right." Alan said, "Obviously, unless we can guarantee to kill Victor completely, and ensure that within a year or two, the abyss forces will not counterattack under the Golden City, there is no need to recapture the Golden City at all. For now, as far as I know, much of the area north of the Skader Mountains has fallen, and Victor's means are so powerful that his revenge will be ferocious. ”

This is Allen's experience, in the previous life, before he knew that he was reborn, whether it was a mainland powerhouse or hundreds of millions of players, he had not yet found a way to truly kill Victor. Because he controls the extremely strong skeleton army, this guy's counterattack ability is almost measured in heaven, and it is precisely because of this that the north of the Skader Mountains will fall so completely.
