Chapter 294: Good as Water

When everyone went to the city gate to greet them, Angel kicked the horse's belly, followed Rollin's footsteps, and asked in a low voice, "Mentor, what will you do?" ”

"It depends on what Zacrow thinks." Rollin replied in a low voice, his current force gave him the power to say no to anyone!

His bottom line now is not to destroy the general trend of fighting against the undead this time, and what will happen to the rest depends on what Zacrow will do. If he doesn't want the other party's conditions, then he opposes it. If you can accept it, then compromise.

"I'll make him obey your orders." Angela said that she didn't want to have a split within Bluewater City at a time like this. But in her opinion, it was not very likely that a strong figure like the Mentor would be submissive, because his force and prestige were far superior to Zacrow's.

Of course, this is not the main reason, the biggest reason for Angela to make this decision is that she thinks that her mentor is better than Zacro in military strategy and has a better chance of leading them to victory.

At the critical moment of the fight against the undead, what they need most is victory, and everything else can stand aside, even if it is the interests of the principality.

Rollin still didn't say anything, so it was impossible to see what he was thinking, and he could only guess like Angela.

Most of the people who went to the city gate to greet them were happy and brisk, and of course, there were a few sober lords with worried faces on their faces.

They are worried about the affairs of Count Maple Leaf and the great knight of the kingdom, Zacrow, it is enough to have a strong powerhouse in Blue Water City, if there is another one, it is not necessarily a good thing.

The current Zacro is not simple, in order to get the power as much as possible, he has given up the opportunity to promote himself to the legend, the special potion of the channel. He became a quasi-saint, and he was a disciple of the Red Moon Sword Saint, and he had the inheritance of the Sword Saint's wave strength, so it was much stronger than the ordinary quasi-saint power.

Such a power is already considered a supreme figure in the principality.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly the risks of going out to welcome the elite warriors of the kingdom this time. The red-haired Marquis of Mullen was one of them, and he even expressed his attitude in advance: "Earl, I still hope that you can lead this defensive battle. ”

Although Zacrow is said to be a disciple of the Red Moon Sword Saint and has a high reputation, the problem is that he has no record of success, whether it is personal or leading. No, all of them are just decent.

Even if he becomes a quasi-saint, but so what, compared to Count Maple Leaf who can defeat Morovogen, he is not on the same level at all.

In terms of leading operations. Earl Maple Leaf also made an amazing move in the Battle of VendΓ΄me in the south, defeating the orc king with 700 warriors, forcing the orc army south to the Hengduan Mountains, saving at least millions of lives in the south, both tactics and strategies are admirable.

Don't look at Mullen as tall and big, but he is very clear-headed, and the soldiers he brought are also the most elite except for Rollin, after all considerations. In order to win, he made the same choice as Angela.

Paladin Joseph. Martin also favors Rollin, but he doesn't want the two sides to clash. He came over and persuaded: "Earl, I hope to focus on the overall situation. ”

Rollin nodded and smiled, "You're thinking too much. Zacrow was a man who understood. ”

When the group of men of different minds finally reached the gate, they saw that an army was already stationed at the gate, of which 3,000 were cavalry and 7,000 were infantry. This army is well-armoured. Discipline is strict, and the military formation is strictly organized. More than 10,000 people stood here, silent. It is indeed called elite.

Rollin also saw Zacquero, and after counting the time, he hadn't seen him for almost three months. In the past three months, the other party has changed a lot, his posture is still upright, but his temples are dyed with wind and frost, and his face has a lot of vicissitudes, but his majesty is stronger than before, sitting on horseback, there is a taste of immobility like a mountain.

His gaze wandered among the people at the door, and finally settled on Rollin, his eyes narrowed.

He received the Grand Duke's letter and knew about this Earl Maple Leaf, this person actually betrayed the principality and tried to be independent, if it was in the past, the other party dared to stand here, he absolutely didn't say a word, and directly ordered the soldiers to rush up and kill this guy.

But not now, he knew that the principality could not afford to kill this person, and besides, if the other party dared to come, it meant that he had the confidence to leave here, with this person's force, it was not difficult to do this, and he did not leave him with the slightest certainty.

In the face of Zacquero's forced gaze, the old god Rollin sat on the ground on horseback, his expression still faint. He didn't speak, and the city lord of Forlino opened his mouth to play a round: "General Zacrow came all the way to support, you and your soldiers should be very tired, go into the city to rest." ”

Zacrow was silent, his eyes narrowed, still looking at Rollin, his hand on the hilt of his sword intentionally or unintentionally, and at this moment, everyone who came to greet him felt a depressing atmosphere.

Those officials of Blue Water City, including the city lord of Forino, all shrank back quietly, they were all archons appointed by the Grand Duke, compared to this group of lords and nobles with titles, they were nothing, it was better to get involved in their affairs less.

See Zacquero like this, Joseph. Martin opened his mouth to break the oppressive atmosphere: "Don't forget the undead! ”

This is said to someone who is in the place.

Marquis Mullen took a step forward with the reins and said with a smile: "Zacquero, why haven't you entered the city yet, do you want these soldiers to spend the night outside the city?" ”

Zacrow finally spoke: "I just want to know, who is the commander of this clear water city?" ”

"Count Maple Leaf, obviously." Marquis Mullen said, "We have already discussed it. ”

Zacrow looked at the noble lords present, and one or two people lowered their heads, indicating neutrality, but most of them took a step in the direction of Rollin to express their position.

The lords who can come to support Blue Water City are not confused, and everyone's greatest hope is to win.

Count Maple Leaf and Zacrow are also considered to be masterpieces for a while, but obviously the former's light is more dazzling, defeating the Orc Martial Saint, defeating the Undead Sword Saint, and getting the favor of the Red Moon Sword Saint Land and a series of deeds tell them, on the battlefield, Count Maple Leaf is the person here who is most likely to lead them to victory.

Zacrow saw Angela, the daughter of the Grand Duke, again, and the other party looked at him anxiously, his lips moving slightly, as if he was talking. Looking at the lip shape, you are persuading to follow.

Even the Grand Duke's daughter said this, and Zacrow stopped insisting and nodded: "In that case, my soldiers and I are also willing to obey the temporary dispatch of Count Maple." ”

Of course, he also knew that there could be no conflict at this time. Among the nobles present, the one who can become the supreme commander is none other than him, the great knight of the kingdom and the Earl of Maple Leaf.

If these lords did not support each other, then he still had the possibility of winning the dominance, but now, this count did not know what means to use. Winning the support of the majority, then Zaquero has no room to compete.

In the end, it is impossible for them to clash, otherwise don't talk about others, Paladin Joseph Martin will definitely make a move. As soon as he makes a move, most of them will still support the other party, and he may be imprisoned, or he may be killed directly, just to stabilize the dìng.

"Just to repel the undead!" Zacro said to himself in his heart, while looking at Angela: "Also for the safety of Her Highness Angela." ”

These two reasons were enough for him to succumb, and enough for him and the big bus to substitute.

It was only then that Rollin spoke: "It's my pleasure. ”

The crowd was able to approve of his command. That's the best outcome.

After that, it was arranged for Zacrow to bring 10,000 soldiers, which was the business of officials such as the city lord of Flinoor.

Without delay, the generals returned to the operational command room. Here there is a military sand table. This is the method proposed by Luo Lin, and the above is the topographical map around Bishui City, and the lords present all have their eyes lit up when they saw this thing.

Now, with the addition of Zacro's 10,000 elite soldiers, the shape of the shì suddenly became much easier. And according to Zacquero. This time, the reinforcements were originally 20,000, but they were split in two. Another 10,000 people have already gone to support the lakeside fortress

That's the good news.

As a result, there are more than 16,000 people in the lakeside fortress. With the walls of the fortress, although there is still pressure in the face of 40,000 high-level undead, it can at least withstand it for a while, giving Bishui City more time to react.

Continuing from the topic just now, Luo Lin began to express his thoughts, he took out a small villain and inserted it in the sand table at the gate of Bishui City, representing the infantry: "In view of the crisis of the lakeside fortress, we cannot be besieged in the city, and it is not a good idea to divide troops to support, because Bishui City is equally important and cannot be lost." I think we wait for the undead to appear, and then we will take the initiative to attack as soon as the infantry goes out of the city. And then a cavalry detachment was placed at this point. ”

Rollin stuck a wooden horse in the valley of Arryn, five kilometers outside the city: "Together with the team of the knights of Zacquero, we now have a total of 10,000 cavalry. These cavalry laid an ambush in the valley of Arryn. When the undead come, our infantry will go out of the city to meet the battle and attract the main force of the undead. Then the cavalry rushed out of the valley and killed the undead commander in one fell swoop. The undead who have lost their commander are headless flies. ”

"It's risky. If the cavalry is not well hidden, it will be besieged by the undead first, not only will it not have the effect of surprise soldiers, but it may be completely annihilated! Zacro saw at a glance the flaws in Rollin's tactics.

"Indeed." Luo Lin nodded, he took a small piece of wood and threw it in the valley of Arryn: "This is the necromancer smoke potion, produced on Fix Island, which has a strong restraining effect on the undead. Two hundred barrels will be placed in the valley, and if the cavalry is discovered, the tactics will immediately change. ”

Rollin withdrew the wooden horse into the depths of the Arryn Valley and placed a wooden skeleton at the gate of the valley: "The cavalry retreated into the depths of the valley. Because the valley is a dead end, and our cavalry is all elite, there is a good chance that the undead will follow the valley, and they will use ordinary undead to contain the footsteps of the infantry at the mouth of the valley, and at the same time the high undead will enter the valley and kill our cavalry with a numerical advantage. ”

He placed the wooden skeleton in the middle of the valley, and placed some small skeletons representing ordinary undead at the mouth of the valley.

The crowd listened attentively, including Zacquero.

Rollin continued: "At this point, we start to smoke. The valley environment is closed, the air circulation is not smooth, and there is a huge terrain advantage, as long as there are five intermediate and above magicians, then even if the other party has a ** division level lich, we can maintain the concentration of smoke. At this time, the infantry is attacking from the rear, and the undead in front are trapped in the valley, and they may be able to kill all the undead in one blow! ”

Speaking of which, there is already silence in the command room, this method of battle is interlocking, if one fails, it will immediately change with the situation, no matter how the other party responds, the Terran side can always maintain the initiative.

What's more, this tactic is very simple, without any complicated operations, and it is extremely easy to implement on the battlefield.

It is important to know that tactics are not as complex as possible, especially in the era of cold weapons, if you have tactics as exquisite as gods, the deduction on paper is seamless, but when it is really implemented, the executor, that is, the soldier, makes a slight mistake, and this mistake will definitely happen, then it may be the effect of losing the whole picture.

Luo Lin's tactic is completely fine, just a few steps, and it can already be said to be perfect to achieve this process.

"One last question." Zacrow said, "How is the effect of this necromancer?"

"Ordinary undead are directly dispelled. And with the suppression of this potion, I defeated Morovogen in person! ”

Everyone in the command room gasped, and then their faces were happy, and Zacrow nodded: "I'm fine, do as you say, the fighters I brought will fully cooperate." ”

This is the best way at the moment, turn passive into active, once successful, the siege of Bishui City will be broken, and then wave the army south, support the lakeside fortress, and attack the undead and fortresses before and after, maybe it can solve the disaster of Baiyun City in one fell swoop.

The shape of the duchy would be greatly improved as a result, so Zacrow would have to agree, even if it would give the Maple Leaf Count great prestige.

But so what? They can't care so much anymore, today's mainland form can't tolerate the slightest falsehood, and they must let a really powerful person control the situation in order to get a glimmer of life! (To be continued)
