Chapter 338: War

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the early morning of the fourth day.

Luo Ming's course on the Great Sword Master has finally come to an end, and he can boast that "I know the Great Sword Master better than you, the real Great Sword Master".

During this time, he left most of the affairs to Oss and others, with Grant as the overseer.

Although there were occasional minor omissions, there were no major problems, which made him very happy.

After all, his army will definitely continue to expand in the future, and Os's subordinates will have the opportunity to become the commander of a unit and act independently, as long as they dare to handle the affairs of today's camp and do not make any major mistakes, at least it will prove that they have the potential to be qualified for higher positions.

It is easy to do with potential, and there will be opportunities for exercise and learning in the future.

During this time, the monsters also launched several temptations.

However, no matter what kind of temptation it was, it was blocked back by Luo Ming's hard-hitting and stupid tactics.

Regardless of the fact that the coalition forces had to withdraw their troops due to problems, in this day and age, from the enemy's point of view, there are only two ways to crack this tactic.

The first is to send out enough force to storm these strong fortifications until some of them are breached and a gap is tore in the blockade.

Second, the same whole army attacked, and then used the gecko to cut off its tail and the golden cicada to break the shell, sacrificing one part of it to break the rear and cover the other part to escape.

However, the second method is generally not the best strategy - if you want to escape from the layers of blockade, you will have a lot of strength along the way, and even if you escape successfully, it will be a big loss of vitality, and if you are caught up and fight again, you will lose.

The battle of the earth is also like this, Xiang Yu broke through with a large army, but was forced to leave part of the army to cover the retreat of his main force again and again under the formation of "ambush on all sides", and every pass was like taking off a layer of skin, Xiang Yu originally had 100,000 people, all the way to escape, and in the end only more than 20 cavalry could keep up with Xiang Yu's pace.

Of course, if the other party can find a powerful mage to help open a portal and let the army slip away without any losses, it will not be a problem that can be solved by simple tactics...... Although such a strong mage can neutralize this coalition of 3,000 people by attacking head-on.

All in all, after four days, the monsters must have been hungry for a long time, and these several temptations have already borne fruit...... I'm afraid it's almost time for the other party to make up their minds.

Either stick to that small valley and let the monsters kill each other to ensure food, or survive until the coalition forces can't hold it first;

Either that or before the monsters kill each other or starve, they will be killed directly with a large army.

To be honest, except for Luo Ming, the other members of the coalition are still very afraid of the first situation - spring ploughing is approaching, and the people who come to join the army are naturally young and middle-aged, and they are the best labor force in the territory, if they miss the spring ploughing, this year's harvest will definitely drop a lot.

If it is a war between ordinary human beings, sometimes they will even agree to a truce during the spring ploughing period, and each will let the soldiers go home to farm, and then start the war again after a while.

Even if Luo Ming only relied on farm fertilizer to increase production, he dared to miss a little spring ploughing, but he was bound to suffer a lot of losses......

Today, however, the first option is becoming less and less likely.

Through the condescending observation of the hot air balloon, as well as the spells of several priests, it has been confirmed that new monsters have been created in the valley between yesterday night and early this morning.

If you want to fight a protracted war, you shouldn't be so resource-saving and continue to create monsters.

In this way, it must be a full-scale attack.

Luo Ming immediately ordered the hot air balloon to be raised, and even if it required a large consumption of precious fuel (to put it bluntly, cooking oil), he must ensure that the small valley is constantly monitored.

He also asked the cooks to prepare wine and meat, which were distributed throughout the army.

The liquor is slightly distilled under the direction of Lormin and has a higher degree, and the meat is also bacon and sausages that are boiled softly. It can fully replenish physical strength and has the effect of strengthening courage.

Sure enough, Luo Ming's preparation was not in vain. Soon. The observer on the hot air balloon screamed and threw down a note with a cursory message.

"Monsters and people, many hundreds, all, ...... formation"

Although limited to the limited level of education of the observer, the writing is extremely brief, but Luo Mingchai can also guess the meaning.

The enemy army is starting to line up, and it's time to go out!

"Armor-piercing and armed, everyone is ready!"

In fact, Luo Ming really didn't panic at all. During this time, he had already made a lot of preparations, and even if there was no coalition army, he might be able to win the battle with his own soldiers alone...... Although there will definitely be heavy casualties.

A puff of dust rose in the valley, and the first to appear were more than a hundred ordinary monsters.

However, Luo Ming, who has the help of hot air balloons, knows very well that these monsters are just pioneers or cannon fodder used to explore the way and step on pits.

Luo Ming was to save face for them, and in order not to make the cultists suspicious, he casually lit a tiger squat cannon and released an empty cannon.

Naturally, the monsters that hit the head were not hit by any shells, which created the illusion that the cannon was not accurate at such a distance.

So, when the real main force of the enemy appeared, he was unprepared to receive the warmest welcome from Luo Ming.

Eight monsters of gigantic stature, resembling bulls, walked out of the valley surrounded by ordinary monsters.

Unlike those boss-level monsters whose individual strength is comparable to that of a swordsman, these monsters are stronger, with thick limbs and a thicker carapace on the outside.

Although the movement was slow, each step was like a war hammer smashing into the ground, with a heavy oppressive force.

Although a brand new monster that no one has ever seen in actual combat, basically anyone can guess their specialties and duties.

Like tanks that break through trench defenses strongly, they are designed to target Loming's hard-walled tactics.

Slow to move, the line is impossible to run away on long legs, the heavy carapace is effective against ranged weapons other than artillery, and the thick limbs can dig through walls of earth, or simply power massive bodies to knock them out of gaps.

If it weren't for everyone's eyes, Luo Ming would have been eager to leave the lair behind and study it slowly...... Such a great biological weapon maker would be of infinite use to him as a traverser.

Luo Ming quickly retracted the distractions that had nothing to do with this battle, and quickly issued the next order.

"The shelling begins!"
