Chapter 15: Counteroffensive Plans
After Luo Ling and the others analyzed the situation at Heimu Pass, Wang Jiyuan said: "We don't need the enemy to start acting when he is almost dead, and by that time, the other party may have arranged follow-up reinforcements." The best time to attack is when they have the most fallen patients. These patients need to be cared for, but it is a burden on them. And our offensive will also disrupt their rhythm of treating patients, they will have to cut off the blood infusion and pull those soldiers out to defend the walls, which will eventually cause them more casualties. ”
Chang Yujie tapped his fingers on the table and said, "But Commander, how to attack Heimu Pass is still a big problem. The walls were impregnable, and they were so thick that we could not break them with artillery. The gate was just as strong when it was magically protected. But if we send our masters to fly over and capture the walls, our support will not be able to keep up, but the enemy can send a steady stream of troops from the stairs inside, then we will give up our weapon generation difference and firepower superiority, and instead send our masters over to be besieged by the enemy. ”
Li Tianrui asked: "At that time, Shi Hao, Huang Zheng and Xiao Chen should have had a plan when they went to Heimu Pass, right? Although they persuaded Olgas at that time, there must be a plan to prepare for a strong attack, right?"
Huang Zheng said: "When we first prepared to attack the Heimu Pass in the hands of Olgas, the other side was only more than 3,000 people, and now the soldiers of the empire are more than twenty times that of this, and the plan at that time is not suitable at all. We were half as many as Olgas at the time, but the weapons were much better. But now, even with the troops that have been reorganized later, we can send out not much more troops than we did last time.
If there are more than 3,000 people, we only need to lure them up to the city wall and then bombard them a few times, but there are tens of thousands of people in the empire, even if the Blackwater Disease makes them a lot less numerous, but the rest is definitely much more than the last time, relying on the bombardment of the city wall to cause casualties, then we have to stalemate until the Year of the Monkey?"
Chang Yujie said: "And the masters in the Black Wood Pass are not less than us, according to the previous intelligence analysis, Emperor Alfred himself, Gandas, Eder and the Black Guard Commander Morette are all masters of the master level. These days, there is a plague in Heimu Pass, I'm afraid the emperor will mobilize more forces to come over, right?"
"We are not afraid of the high-end forces fighting. Master Gabriel said confidently, "We can also mobilize more strength, transfer Xiao Chen, Anar, Metatron and Gordon, plus me, Mao Kai, Luo Ling and Liu Yisheng, we have a total of eight great magicians."
Although Xiao Chen, Mao Kai and Luo Ling have just been promoted, their foundation is very strong, and they will not be much worse than great magicians like Gandas. In addition to masters, we also have more high-level mages like Huang Zheng, Roger, and Evelyn, as well as mage classes whose combined spellcasting effects are even more amazing than those of high-level.
It's not the first time I've met the masters of the Empire, I've fought them many times in previous wars, and I've killed two of them myself, one of which was Lenit a few days ago. With my familiarity with them over the years, I led these people to be sure to suppress the power of the Imperial people and occupy the city. ”
Chang Yujie said: "But there is no way to let our soldiers rush in when they occupy the city." ”
Gabriel said, "It's a big deal, go all the way, enter the city gate, and then open the door from the inside." ”
"I don't agree with this plan. Wang Jiyuan shook his head and said, "This kind of battle is too risky, and it is simply rushing over to die." You are all great magicians, but it doesn't mean that your body can take a few more stabs than others, in such a chaotic battlefield, surrounded by the opponent's masters and soldiers, you can kill from the city wall, and you can hurt you in the doorway. Maybe a magic breaker, or a dispel spell, can leave you defenseless under the sword and gun. ”
Gabriel said, "It's you who are too conservative. There is no such thing as peace and stability in war. Since it was my proposal, I would naturally rush to the front and face the most powerful enemy. ”
"Master, Commander Wang will not doubt your courage, because he himself is never short of courage. It's just that in our case, the commander must be responsible for the life of the fighter, and even if it is a sacrifice, it should be sacrificed where it makes the most sense. Luo Ling made a round.
"Everyone, don't rush into an argument. I do remember that Xiao Chen and I had done research on that door before. Huang Zheng said, "The magic circle on that door is not indestructible. There are just two conditions that make destroying the circle difficult for others to achieve. ”
Huang Zheng carefully recalled and said, "We used the dispersal technique on those defensive arrays on the city gate. However, I found that the magic strength released by the high-level mage was far from enough to terminate the operation of that magic circle, and according to my estimate, the strength of the great mage was still poor. In addition, if someone tried to use magic to disperse the circle on that door, he himself must be within range of the Wall Guards. It will definitely be besieged by the guards. It is estimated that he has to do both things at the same time, and it is difficult to defend for too long.
But this matter, we can do it, as long as we organize several great magicians and cast dispel magic together in the form of joint spellcasting, then the range and power will be much greater. We can attack the gate of Kuroki Pass directly from a distance, and when the protective magic is dispelled, it will be time for the cannon to wield its might. ”
Wang Jiyuan looked at Luo Ling, and she said, "It seems that this is indeed feasible. According to the formula, as long as we have more than four great mages fighting together and jointly casting a dispel spell, we should be able to achieve this effect. ”
"At the same time, we can not abandon the option of attacking the top of the wall. Wang Jiyuan said, "After dispelling the magic on the door, our great magicians can lead a commando team to approach the top of the city wall from the sky, sweep away the enemies there, and occupy the commanding heights, as Master Gabriel said." This can not only attract and hold back the opponent's masters, but also cover the soldiers to charge in after opening the door. ”
Gabriel nodded, clearly approving of such a battle plan.
"Okay, the committee has had a big incident in the past two days, but I will still try my best to apply for the mobilization of masters from all over the world. However, it would take time for them to get to Barria and then practice combo casting, so I decided to attack the enemies at Blackwood Pass in the early morning three days later. ”
Everyone was about to discuss some more details, when a mage who was in charge of monitoring the perimeter of Heimu Pass with the Eye of a mage rushed in: "Commander, there is an anomaly! The enemy seems to have opened the city gate, and many enemy warriors rushed out of it in small groups, they didn't seem to be here to fight, but ran away in all directions. ”
"What!" Wang Jiyuan stood up in shock, "Are they going to spread the blackwater disease everywhere?"
