Chapter 185: Ron's Plan (2)
By the time Frank Lampard led the remnants of his troops to the Great Plains, Novak had already set up his troops there.
Looking at Boer City from here, it is just a small point, although the two sides are now friendly forces, but the atmosphere of the soldiers on both sides is a little weird, compared to the Beilu army, the casualties of the Northern Army are already very small.
Frank Lampard noticed some unkind expressions from many of his subordinates, whether it was the first battle or the later battle, Novak and his soldiers of the Northern Army did not make much difference.
However, although they were uncomfortable in their hearts, these soldiers did not dare to say anything, now in terms of troops, the Northern Army is even more than them, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they are not opponents of the other party.
With almost 10,000 troops stationed on the Great Plains, Lampard immediately went to Novak to consult with the military, a day that was undoubtedly a defeat and humiliation for them.
......
While it was still light, Ron and Merial gathered all the officers, including the fifty-man squadron leader, in the barracks.
"Today's record is very gratifying, and it is also the result of everyone's hard work, but we should also see that these enemies are not here to rob, after this battle, their goal is to destroy us completely. Between us Boer and the Beru, there must be a side that will disappear in this world!" Meria's gaze swept over all the officers present: "Although we have inflicted heavy losses on the Beru, more difficult battles are yet to come. ”
"This time the enemy is not only the Second Legion, but also a part of the mysterious army, so far, we don't know the details of the other party, but our hole cards are all exposed. Bombs were meant to be our killer weapon, the basic weapon we relied on for survival, and I don't think they would easily attack the city again, at least until the mechanics of our bombs were worked out. ”
"It's just right that they don't come, and we're happy to be idle. Nile laughed.
Nile's words also aroused the echo of some officers, as the commander of the gunpowder unit, today can be said to be Nile's happiest and happiest day, although many throwing arms were detected after the battle, because of the continuous high-intensity projection operations, so that the internal machine failed, but the mountain of corpses outside the city is their masterpiece.
"The geographical location of Bol City, if the enemy sticks to it, is like a wine bottle with a stopper, we can't get out at all, and we can't even send rescue information. Ron shrugged, "Over time, our food and water sources have become the biggest problem. ”
"The Belu cavalry is free to move, but our troops are not. When the enemy's cavalry moves, they will definitely send people to closely monitor the movements of our troops, and as soon as our troops leave their strong positions and appear in the field, the cavalry of the Belu people can immediately swarm them. This is exactly what the enemy wants to see the most, no matter what kind of resistance we make, we will not be able to escape the killers of the cavalry in the field. So, for the foreseeable future, we don't expect any reinforcements. Meria said with a cold expression: "And because of our geographical location, if I were a high-level commander, I would either use heavy troops to form a counter-encirclement, or I would choose to give up strategically." ”
"My lord and I don't want to pour cold water on everyone, but I just want everyone, especially you officers, to have a clear mind, don't get carried away because you won the battle, except for the bomb factor, we can't compare with the enemy's combat power at all, not to mention that the stock of bombs in the city is running out. Ron muttered.
The excited expression on Nile's face slowly froze, and the truth was just as Ron said, once the bombs were completely used, the city of Boer would not be able to hold it.
"Rest assured, Meria and I will come up with a solution to the problem as soon as possible. Ron smiled and said, "Everything is normal at the night sentry! The care of the wounded soldiers must continue, and the families of the fallen soldiers in the city must be paid a lot of money." Will, you go make a bowl of porridge and bring it to Sylph. This little girl has been working too hard for the past two days. ”
The impromptu meeting ended quickly, and by this time it was completely dark. Many of the tents in the central square had been emptied, and now they had been re-erected here, not far from the camp where Ron and Meria were located, where the wounded soldiers were arranged and cared for, and by the light of the fire, Ron could see many soldiers hurrying along, and from time to time screams and moans could be heard from inside.
Ron took a deep breath, there are no advanced medical facilities and anti-inflammatory drugs in this world, once the wound is inflamed, it is quite deadly, Sylph's life magic is powerful, but her magic power is also limited.
"I'm worried that if some soldiers don't get timely treatment, our Boer city will have internal conflicts first. Ron sighed, "We have to end this fight as soon as possible, dragging it out is not the way to go." ”
Merial stared straight into Ron's eyes, "Just say it, what do you need me to do?"
"You don't need to do complicated things, just your nod of agreement. Ron smiled slightly, and then took the spatial ring from his hand and handed it to Meria: "Do you recognize this thing?"
"Is this-Spatial Ring? How do you have a Spatial Ring?" Merial looked ghostly, "Have you ever left here before?"
"No, I did wake up shortly ago. Ron took the space ring again: "To be honest, I don't know how I got this ring, I don't know it myself, it's all completely beyond my knowledge." It's like if you have a dream, and when you wake up from the dream, you bring everything you got in the dream back to the real world, and if it's you, can you agree with it?"
Merial blinked and exhaled, "I don't think you should lie to me. ”
"I don't know how the ring came out of my dreams, but now it's my possession. Ron lowered his voice, "Meria, something like a magic crystal can be used to detonate, right?"
"Detonate the magic crystal? Even if an ordinary demon spirit detonates, the power is about the same as ours. Meria's gaze swept over Ron's ring, "Do you have thousands, tens of thousands of magic crystals in here?
"No, I don't have so many magic crystals. Ron interrupted Meria's speculation: "If I use a general's magic crystal to detonate, can I destroy all the enemies outside the city?"
