Chapter Ninety-One: Defense Plan

"Some magic can be achieved, but those are often not powerful enough. Gandas said, "And from the previous operation to spread the plague, it can be seen that the other side has a lot of mages, and the number of great mages also exceeds ours, if we fight against the other party's magic, we will definitely be at a disadvantage." And our soldiers stationed on the walls will become targets that can only be beaten. ”

"Then what are your thoughts? Could it be that you want to give up the advantage of Kuroki Pass and choose to take the initiative?" asked Emperor Alfred.

"No, Your Majesty. On the contrary, I think we should abandon the level and let the other person in. Master Gandas said.

"What are you talking about, Gandath?" said Emperor Alfred, in surprise.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the walls of Heimu Pass are tall and solid, but our soldiers are on them, in fact, they are completely exposed to the guns and magic of the other side. They can only be constantly attacked by the other side there, but there is no chance to fight back at all. No matter how strong our empire's army is, if it continues to fight like this, it will lose morale and eventually collapse.

But on the flip side, what if we just gave up the door? Their troops rushed in, but their artillery and magic were rendered useless by the walls. It was impossible for those magic and cannonballs to climb over the walls and hit very close to the gates. Instead, we can set up positions inside the gates and give them a head-on attack as soon as their men come in.

Isn't that much better than having them finally break through the walls and then rush in?"

Emperor Alfred frowned deeply, staring at Gandas for a long time, as if thinking about his plan, "Gandas, if you don't say this plan, I will definitely suspect that he is a traitor to the Chinese." Have you ever thought that after abandoning the city walls, once we lose the battle in the city, the situation will be irreversible?"

"Your Majesty, don't you think that the situation would have been worse if you had been defeated by a blow on the wall, and if you were exposed to the shelling and magic of the other side, I think such a rout would have happened. Gandas said.

Emperor Alfred turned to the others and asked, "What do the rest of you think of Master Gandath's plan?"

Duke Stuart said, "Your Majesty, this is a feasible plan. Although this method may sound a bit unreliable, in fact, what Master Gandas said makes sense, and things do develop that way. It's just that I think proper resistance is still necessary, we can deploy some strong people in the air, they can be high enough to avoid the opponent's magic and artillery bombardment, and then give the opponent's attacker some damage. ”

Duke Webb said, "Since we want to get out of the doorway, let's arrange some traps inside." ”

Master Eder said, "We can set up some explosive circles to inflict heavy damage on the first wave of enemies that rush in. ”

"No, no, no, on the contrary, our trap must have no conspicuous effect. Duke Weber shook his head and said, "I think we can put a few curse circles and poison gas circles, so that the people who come in can be blessed by all kinds of negative magic, and their physical condition will be reduced unconsciously, and arrange some poisons that take effect slowly, so that they can run out of the door and find out that they are poisoned, so that the enemies behind will not be alerted, and a steady stream of enemies can fall into the trap." ”

"Why do you all agree to this plan of cowering? We have an advantage in strength, and we have a large group of beast cubs who have just acquired our bloodline, isn't it just right for these people to charge into battle? Even if their blood is thin, how many ordinary soldiers are opponents of these guys? I heard that some people are afraid of those gadgets in the other side's hands that can shoot metal projectiles outside, I think that thing is similar to a bow and arrow, as long as someone is in front of it, there will be no way to rush through? Look at the other party's only two or three thousand people, right? Just press it over. Duke Marcus, who had the blood of the golden dragon on the side, said loudly. He had come from home and had not seen the previous wars. For those magic props in the hands of the Chinese, there is a bit of disdain. I can't get used to his colleagues taking the trouble to plan for such a coward.

"Marcus, those air guns and pneumatic cannons are not gadgets, do you know how many people died on them when we captured Blackwood Pass? In addition to guns and cannons, they have other weapons and magic, charging at their formation, from far to near, there will be small artillery fire, throwing explosives, and there will be all kinds of different blows along the way. Not to mention that our army is mostly infantry, and nothing good has been achieved by charging with cavalry before. Duke Stuart said solemnly, "According to your plan, we will suffer very big losses. It's not impossible that even the troops that rushed out were wiped out!"

"It's just some losses, isn't the beast species meant to be consumed?" said Duke Marcus.

"Whether it is an ordinary soldier or an beast soldier, it is the power of the empire. It cannot be sacrificed in such a pointless place. Duke Stuart said, "I have been guarding the large camp on the north side of Heimu Pass all the year round, and I often face harassment and provocation from the kingdom's army. ”

Duke Webber sneered and said: "The beast species of the golden dragon bloodline is already strong in defense, and the dragon power generated by your bloodline can also suppress those warriors with thin blood, so it is better for you to lead the charge once and try how strong the opponent's strength is." ”

"Hmph, the descendants of the Golden Dragon are never afraid of challenges. What if I take the lead!" Marcus took two steps forward without showing any weakness, and his daughter Cynthia at his side followed her father as well.

"Alright, Marcus, put your courage to good use for real combat. I can testify that what the two dukes said is based on real evidence, and the scene of guns and cannons being fired cannot be imagined without really fighting the Chinese.

The raiding team we sent just now is the best example, against the Chinese escort army, if the number of troops in the hands is not enough, the strength is not strong, in front of the row of guns is to die. ”

Marcus said, "Your Majesty, do you really want to adopt their plan?"

Emperor Alfred said: "There is no better way at present, just follow the method that has been compromised by a few adults." ”
