138 Sneak Attack Behind Enemy Lines (Part I)
In the newly built city hall of Sword City, Zhang Yuan and Wang Daqiang, as well as the nine-headed dragon Du Meister, who had shrunk his body, flashed a cold light in his eyes. Zhang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Mo Lin has sacrificed, and we have to pay for it with blood." What the barbarians bring to us must be repaid a hundredfold. ”
Everyone quieted down, and only Dumeister couldn't help but say, "What other strategies are being discussed!" Lord Zhang Yuan, just have your command, and we will attack wherever you let us attack. ”
This time, Dumeister was approved by most people, and it is undeniable that in the many wars after leaving Sword City, Zhang Yuan can be said to have no last resort. It not only saved the crisis of the Elasia Xikunshan front. At the same time, Erathia's generous remuneration also brought great benefits to Sword City.
At this time, whether it was the various races of the natural system or the Beamon Hydra Giant Beast Cavalry, the Elemental Human Race, and all the warriors of Sword City. They all fully recognized the command ability of Zhang Yuan and Filla. Seeing that Sword City has obtained such huge resources, they have become more confident in the construction of Sword City in the future.
Zhang Yuan glanced at Fila beside him, and he said, "After we participated in this war, so far, the progress has been quite smooth. However, this does not mean that we will be so smooth in the future! The battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen. We calculate the enemy, and the enemy may calculate us. Although the battle of the city of Karpal was a great blow to the barbarian army. But it is not enough to shake its roots. Our opponent is, after all, the most powerful nation, and the barbarians must have recovered some of their vitality. And for the barbarians, we are undoubtedly their most hated enemies. I'm not sure yet, but if I were the Barbarian Commander, I'd find a way to deal with us first. Only after destroying us will they be able to attack the kingdom of Erathia in peace. Fila, tell me about the results of our Pegasus Knights' reconnaissance. ”
Fila nodded and said, "My lord is right, we can't be too optimistic about the terrain in front of us. The barbarian army is undoubtedly desperate to launch an attack on the kingdom of Erathia, and they are directly bordering our homeland and face an even greater threat to us. The kingdom of the dead has the undead land of the undead that is not suitable for human habitation, and they are not afraid of failure, because they all have a way out, and they can all return to their own country to re-operate. But the barbarian army can't, the barbarian alliance states are bordering our Elasia Kingdom on a large scale, once the war on the main battlefield in the south is over, the Erathia Kingdom will definitely not let them go. In the past, we used the Northern Legion to fight against them, but now if the Undead retreats and we use the main forces of the Northern and Southern Legions to attack the Barbarian Alliance, they will be defeated. Therefore, the belief that the barbarian army expects victory is even more persistent than that of the kingdom of the undead. ”
After listening to Zhang Yuan and Fila's words, the ease in everyone's eyes gradually disappeared, and several patriarch leaders of various clans nodded subconsciously.
Fila continued: "Therefore, during these hundred days of our army's repairs, I sent the Knights of Pegasus to expand the scope of reconnaissance, focusing on the deployment of the barbarian army. We found that the armies of the Barbarian Northern Alliance had recovered at an astonishing rate during this time. The tens of thousands of defeated troops who had retreated from the Battle of Karpal had regrouped, and while they had received a large number of logistical supplies, the number of troops mobilized from the southern tribes of the barbarians had also been replenished to about 100,000. Although most of the recruits were recruited, they were led by tens of thousands of veterans, and the effectiveness of these recruits' training can be imagined. What worries me the most is that the main army of the barbarian army has spread out in formation, forming a huge defensive line not far from the border of Erathia for the barbarians. And among these 100,000 troops, an elite group composed entirely of wild boar light cavalry was selected, a total of 30,000 people. This army and the main army were not stationed together, but were in the center of the northern tribes. ”
As she spoke, Fila pointed to a central location on the parchment map on the table. The crowd followed his finger to see that it was an inconspicuous tribal gathering place. At first glance, it doesn't seem to be anything special, but when you look closely, you can see that this location is unusual.
Wang Daqiang was a little surprised and said, "This place is very delicate, and it is between the big tribes in the north of the enemy. ”
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "This tribe looks pitifully small, and according to our information, there is no stock of materials there that can be used to replenish the army. However, you can visually see that the distance from this small tribal gathering to the surrounding twenty or so large tribes is almost the same. ”
After Zhang Yuan's awakening, everyone noticed that this small tribe of 30,000 wild boar light cavalry was located in the rear of the barbarian army, that is, in the depths of the barbarian army.
"So, no matter which of these twenty or so big tribes we attack, these 30,000 wild boar light cavalry can react?" One of the patriarchs of the Dwarven tribe of Sword City, Fredek frowned.
Zhang Yuandao: "This is only one of the purposes, from our current location, the best way is to attack this tribal group." These twenty or so large tribes can be said to be the foundation of the barbarian army in the northern barbarian alliance. If we can baptize all these twenty or so great tribes. It is certain that the economy of all the tribes of the barbarian north will collapse. Even if all the tribes in the south of the barbarians were fully supportive, the vitality of the barbarians would definitely not be able to recover within five years. ”
Beamonray sneered and said, "Do the barbarians think that we are really afraid of a group of lowly boar light cavalry? There are not enough Thunderbirds and One-Eyed monsters, just what can the boar hussars do? ”
No one would think that King Ray was arrogant, thirty thousand against three thousand, which seemed to be unequal in terms of quantity. But the strong people present are confident enough, and their subordinates or clansmen are definitely able to defeat one against ten. Especially the Beamon Hydra Cavalry Corps.
Once the 3,000 people of the Sword City army collided with these 30,000 wild boar light cavalry, nothing else, but the coercion of the nine-headed dragon tenth-level divine beast could completely paralyze their wild boar mounts. It is almost impossible to translate a numerical advantage into a victory. On the contrary, the powerhouses of Sword City will have a greater chance of winning.
Fila said in a deep voice, "Yes, we are not afraid of fighting each other head-on. However, we go deep into the tiger's den and must not engage in a war of attrition with the other side. After all, we only have more than 3,000 people, and we can't afford to consume them. What if we wiped out all 30,000 people? Can you guarantee that you and your deployment will not be harmed? Excessive consumption will inevitably cause us to lose mobility. By that time, once surrounded by barbarian armies, losses were predictable. Everyone here, your subordinates, and your clansmen are the future of Sword City. We can't afford to lose. Therefore, we must not go head-to-head with the enemy. ”
Filla's words were first agreed by Zhang Yuan, who said: "Erlashan's words are what I mean. Therefore, we must take a long-term view. We're going to do it first. It is to not give the enemy any chance of a decisive battle, and it is better to delay the attack or even not to attack than to let us be damaged. ”
Dumeister, the hydra, muttered, "Having said all that, what exactly is it going to do?" ”
Zhang Yuan smiled slightly. "The barbarian army is waiting for us to attack this tribe, and we are not as they wished. They defended well on the perimeter, so they defended well. We can't fight head-on, can't we take a detour to a place where there is no enemy? As he spoke, Zhang Yuan's hand fell directly on the location of the largest tribe in the northern barbarian alliance, the leader of the northern barbarian alliance tribe on the map.
