Chapter 370: The Kingdom's Troops (6)

Although it has been less than ten minutes since he heard the Fourth Army's battle plan narrated by Richard, Li Mengxi had already thought of the plan when he put forward the suggestion that "it needs to be revised." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, when Richard finally asked for such an opinion, Li Mengxi gave an answer without hesitation.

"The first change is to elevate their proposal at the tactical level to a strategic level. ”

"Height-lifting?" Richard was a little puzzled, "what do you mean?"

"First of all, the Eastern Front will definitely evolve into a protracted war. ”

"Not bad. You've already analyzed this, and I think it makes sense. ”

"So, sooner or later, a protracted war will have to be fought anyway, so why not just pick a terrain that is more suitable for a protracted war?"

"My brother, you don't want to fight this long battle in the mountains. Wouldn't that be a simple war of attrition? ”

That's exactly what I mean. ”

"However, not forming a confrontation with the other party is what you said at the beginning. ”

"Contradictory?"

"Isn't it a contradiction?"

"Not at all. I'm talking about a stalemate at the strategic level, which is to let this war end without a hitch and eventually lead to the emergence of a zero-sum game. However, I am now talking about a protracted battle at the tactical level. ”

"What's the difference?"

"Quite simply, a tactical protracted war is not a protracted war in the end. ”

"Huh?" said Richard, with a very incredulous expression.

"Richard, there was a famous general 'Zhao Hao' in ancient China who once said a famous saying called 'The brave wins when the narrow road meets'. I don't know if you've heard of it?"

"After all, I am a top student at Cambridge University, and I have heard of this. In other words, those who have courage will win, right?"

"No, this courage does not refer to courage, but courage, that is, including courage, the side with strong overall strength can win. Originally, the essence of war is that the strong will win, and the weak will lose, and the art of war is how to make one's own side occupy a strong position and let the enemy fall into a weak position. ”

"My brother, are you really a high school student?"

"Yes. Any questions?"

"Monster, no, let's call it the Demon King. ”

"Hey. I guess I said I don't really like it. ”

"Hey. You yourself sometimes call yourself that, 'I'm the Red Demon King'. ”

"That's when you're intimidating the enemy!"

"Rival in love, right? ”

"What is our focus on now?"

Seeing that Li Mengxi was really a little angry, Richard smiled, and at the same time made a "please continue" movement with both hands, and said, "Since this is the case." So, my brother, in your opinion, where is this narrow road on the Eastern Front?"

"Of course, it's the Shandong Realm of the Divine Realm. As he spoke, Li Mengxi stretched out his finger and pointed, "The road is long and obstructive, it is impossible for both the enemy and us to allocate too many manpower, and it is difficult to replenish, don't you think it is very similar to what Zhao Hao said, 'two rats fighting in the hole'?"

"Wait, I haven't heard of this, what do you mean?"

"That is, two rats collided in the tunnel, and neither side could turn around and could only move forward, so there was a 'brave win' in the back. ”

"Oh. I see. If a war were to start here, the enemy would inevitably refuse to retreat in order to protect the national border, and we, since we had formulated such a strategy, would not take the initiative to retreat. Therefore, it can only be the brave who wins. So, my brother, you have already concluded that the brave man is us?"

"That's right, why else would you want to come up with this strategy?"

"Wouldn't you be too confident?"

"Of course I have a reason to be so confident. First of all, fighting in the mountains is small unit against small unit, and the advantage of individual soldiers is easy to play. Even if the player's power is excluded in this regard, we are better than the other party. ”

"Hmm. Truly. The average rank of the opposing main Black Armor Army is sixty, while our soldiers are on average sixty-five. ”

"And then there's the logistics. Although it is impossible for either of us to engage in positional warfare with large forces, it is possible to occupy every mountain road with a large enough number of small forces. In this way, there is no way for each other to easily deal with each other's supply lines, so they can only fight for the comprehensive strength of logistics. That would be our victory. ”

"Why?"

"Richard, have you forgotten why the other party is invading us?"

"I see, the supplies are insufficient. ”

"Exactly. They can't afford to consume. ”

"But, my brother, as far as I know, war of attrition has been hailed as the stupidest tactic in every way. ”

"That's because it doesn't make sense to achieve strategic goals, or it increases casualties. But our war is different. ”

"How?"

"First of all, our current strategic goal is to inflict great damage on the other side and force the other side to sue for peace. Is there anything more capable of inflicting heavy losses on our opponents than a war of attrition? Secondly, the casualties on our side will probably not be very large. ”

"I can understand the former, but what about the latter? Can this war of attrition only cause the other side to suffer, and we remain unscathed?"

"It's a bit of an exaggeration to be unscathed, but it can be described as such. ”

"Really!" Richard was a little stunned.

"Ahh Richard, how much do you think the five-level difference between NPCs will be a big difference in strength?"

"Well......" After thinking for a moment, Richard shook his head, "You should ask Hughes about this matter, I believe he knows this better than I do." ”

"Hahaha. Faced with this answer, Li Mengxi laughed awkwardly, "After all, Richard, you are more often calculating the values of players and monsters." Let me go straight to the conclusion. The five-level difference between NPCs can be said to be worlds apart. ”

"Really, the growth system is different, but isn't that a bit exaggerated. ”

"Not an exaggeration at all. As far as the NPC serving as a soldier is concerned, if two people are exactly the same in terms of combat experience, skill proficiency, and common skill matching, the one with a level five higher can take advantage of the difference in the basic attributes of level 5 to expand the final strength of the two people to a level of 2 times. Even a conservative estimate is 1.5 times. If this advantage were to be increased in size, we would probably be able to defeat three times as many enemy forces as we were. ”

"Well......" Richard pondered without asking for further elaboration, "isn't this war so as to be extremely advantageous to us and extremely disadvantageous to the enemy?"

"Hmm. To tell the truth, as long as we play steadily, no matter what strategy we take, we will win. ”

"Isn't that a little too unfair?"

"Fair?" said Li Mengxi and smiled.

"What's wrong?"

"Richard, have you ever seen a game that leans on the NPC's side?"

Hearing this, Richard was slightly stunned and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"yes. If it's a system-set event, there's no reason to kill us players, and that won't do us any good for the guys who trapped us here. Unless that guy is a pervert with a bad taste. ”

"Well, at least not in this war. This war has been systematically foreshadowed for a long time, and has emerged with the disappearance of the rainbow wall and the loading of new areas. I think there must be something else behind it, but it should have been after the first time I won in front of me. ”

"That's right......" Richard paused and then let go of his voice completely, "Brother! If the strategy is like this, then the details should be modified like this. For the time being, the war on the Eastern Front was divided into two phases. In the first stage, including the Fourth Army, the whole army of our army quickly formed mountain warfare units as reserve troops. Immediately, the Fourth Army crushed the enemy's mountain pass garrison in one fell swoop, and then dispatched its mountain troops to launch a surprise attack on the enemy's stronghold in the mountains, so that it would not have a chance to breathe. The rest of our mountain troops followed, advancing all the way until half of the mountain was captured, and then moving on to the second stage. At this stage, more mountain armies were formed, the troops were broken into pieces as much as possible, and the enemy was attacked in rotation without interruption, but the main focus was to kill and injure the enemy's living forces rather than attacking the city, and this continued until the war situation changed. ”

"This change is whether the enemy opens up the battlefield on the Western Front. If it is opened, we will ambush and annihilate the enemy army in the Eternal Night Woods with the player's troops, and then take advantage of the victory to break through the Western Front. If the enemy is not ready to open up a second battlefield, our side will take the initiative to open it up, first crush the enemy's western front configuration with a blitzkrieg and inflict heavy losses, and then shrink the front and fight for a long time. When the time comes, let this twilight empire fight on two fronts, and lose the other. See if it is willing to be dragged down by life, or willing to sign an alliance under the city. ”

"Hmph. At this point, Richard couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong?

"Not really. I just think that this Twilight Empire is really as good as its name. ”

"Hmm. The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk. ”
