Chapter 366: Strategy

I went to the embassy with doubts, and by the time Rocky left, his face was already full of solemnity......

Back at his City Lord's Mansion, Rocky didn't see anyone, so he locked himself in his study, stared at the world map all night, and waited until the next day to come out.

"What did Wilton say?"

When Rocky came out of the study, the solemnity on his face had disappeared, and he looked as if he was fine, but anyone could tell that he and Wilton must have talked about something very important, and no one else could ask about it, only Lilia was qualified to ask.

"Nothing. ”

But in the face of Lilia, Rocky shook his head: "Your Excellency the Paladin only provided me with some information. ”

Glancing at Lilia, Rocky smiled, obviously not wanting to say much about the conversation between himself and Wilton, so before Lilia could speak, he asked, "Is Grand here?"

"Came early in the morning, but was already gone. Nodding her head, Lilia took out a map as she spoke: "He asked me to give this to you, saying that Wilton gave it to you." ”

"Yes, that's it!"

After receiving the map handed by Lilia, a smile immediately appeared on Rocky's face: "This is the military map of the Tulip City War Zone!"

After opening the map and looking at it twice, he immediately commanded, "Call everyone!"

After saying this, he hurried back to the study, while Lilia looked at his back and sighed, and then went to call the others as instructed.

After a while, the group of people gathered in Rocky's study again, but when everyone came to the study, they found that next to the world map hanging on the wall, there was another map, which was the Tulip City war zone map sent by Grand.

"Yesterday I already learned from Wilton about the general situation in the war zone. ”

When everyone arrived, Rocky didn't talk nonsense, and stood directly in front of the war zone map and said straight to the point: "According to Wilton, the current alliance forces are mainly concentrated in the northwest of Tulip City, that is, the airspace of the Purple Leaf Forest, which is ......."

While saying these words, he made a mark on the map.

Nowadays, wars are fought in the air, so when representing the place of operation, either the exact coordinates or the name of the place where the location is directly used.

After making a mark on the map, Rocky continued: "Here, the Alliance Army has gathered eight large Sky Cities, eleven medium-sized Sky Cities, and several small Sky Cities. ”

"As for the enemy, they are attacking from the southeast of Tulip City, and the location of the base camp is roughly here, in the airspace of the herding horse grassland. ”

"According to Wilton's reconnaissance during this time, the enemy's strength is one or two times that of the Alliance Army, fifteen large sky cities, nineteen medium sky cities, and more small sky cities, and this is only a rough estimate, whether the enemy still has troops on the table, Wilton doesn't know. ”

"That's enough......"

The information provided by Wilton gave everyone a more detailed understanding of the situation in the Tulip City war zone, so when Rocky finished speaking, almost everyone secretly gasped.

Obviously, the battle situation in the Tulip City War Zone is much worse than everyone imagined!

What is the concept that the enemy has invested more than thirty large and medium-sized sky cities in this war zone?

Assuming that every large or medium-sized Sky City has about 200 warships, then the 30 Sky Cities have more than 6,000 warships! This is just a conservative estimate, in fact, the fleet of large Sky Cities must have more than 200 ships, which means that the total number of enemy warships will definitely exceed 6,000, and it is possible to reach close to 10,000!

That's a scary number!

Everyone present, including Rocky, had actually participated in a real large-scale war, so for them, whether it was 6,000 warships or tens of thousands of warships, it was already an astronomical number, and they couldn't even imagine what the concept of so many warships was.

Under such circumstances, the thought that they will participate in a war of this level in the future, even if it is only to fight guerrillas in this big war, everyone will inevitably feel frightened......

Rocky was not surprised by the reaction, and when he heard the news from Wilton yesterday, he was as startled as everyone else.

So after that, he didn't speak immediately, but waited for a while, and waited until everyone digested everything they had just said and their emotions gradually calmed down, and then pointed to the map:

"Ladies and gentlemen, through this information, the situation in the theater of operations is clear at a glance, the coalition forces and the enemy are located in the northwest and southeast directions of Tulip City, and the main combat zone is exactly above Tulip City. ”

"And where we are now, probably in this direction......"

Speaking of this, Rocky stepped in front of the world map and pointed with his finger: "The sky-breaking peak airspace is located just southeast of Tulip City, and we are now heading straight for Tulip City, and when we reach the war zone, we will be in the rear of the enemy, and we will enter the war zone from the enemy's rear." ”

"This is a great opportunity for us, the enemy's large forces are fighting with the Alliance forces in the front, and there are fewer troops in the rear, at least there won't be so many large Sky Cities, so it's still relatively safe for us to enter the war zone from the enemy's rear. ”

"What's more, according to Wilton, the enemy's supply route is exactly in the direction we entered the war zone!"

"Tatsujuku Castle. ”

After briefing everyone on the war zone and himself, Rocky named a Sky City.

"This Sky City is the only large Sky City located in the rear of the enemy, and its main task is to provide support to the front, and the enemy's small Sky City will be transported to the front line after receiving supplies from Tatsujuku City. ”

"And what we have to do is to sneak up on the enemy's transport troops in the process. ”

I have to say that the information provided by Wilton is too important, this information not only allows Rocky to figure out the general situation of the Tulip War Zone, but also lets him know the enemy's transportation routes, which is exactly what he wants to know, and as long as he knows these things, he can make a detailed plan.

So when he finished saying this, everyone in the study thought about it, and after a while, Lilia spoke: "Rocky, where is the specific location of Chensu City?"

"This Wilton is not very clear, but it can be roughly confirmed that it is at the rear of the war zone, that is, on the edge of the herding prairie. ”

"So what you mean, are you planning to ambush in the airspace of the Horse Grassland, and carry out a sneak attack on the enemy's small Sky City as it gets resupplied and returns to the front line?"

After all, Lilia had followed Rocky's father to the battlefield, so she knew more about tactical matters than most people, and after listening to everything Rocky said, she frowned and thought about it for a while.

With Lilia's words, everyone else looked at Rocky, some of them showed a look of sudden realization, and some of them frowned slightly like Lilia.

"It's not. ”

However, in the eyes of everyone, Rocky shook his head.

"We can't go directly into the grazing horse grassland. ”

Shaking his head, Rocky said a little helplessly.

When he first learned about the existence of Tatsujuku City from Wilton, he also asked Wilton exactly the same question as Lilia, because his first reaction at that time was also to ambush in the Muma Plains and then carry out a sneak attack on the small Sky City that was transporting supplies.

But his idea was directly rejected by Wilton.

"Why?"

Rocky remembers very well that he was very puzzled at the time, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his thoughts.

Wilton's explanation taught him a lesson.

"Rocky, don't underestimate war. ”

Lodge still remembers Wilton's expression when he said this, as if an elder was looking at a child: "In any war, supply lines are the most important thing, and the enemy has long thought of any sneak attack method you can think of, and has taken precautions accordingly." ”

"In order to ensure the safety of the transportation line, the enemy will send three small sky cities to act together every time, facing three small sky cities, not to mention your Thunder Eagle City, even if you come to a medium-sized sky city, it is difficult to achieve a quick victory, and if you can't do this, then the enemy's reinforcements will arrive immediately. ”

"And don't think that the enemy will take it lightly with a small sky city to transport, although the sky city used for transportation is small, but the fleet inside is a real large fleet, and each small sky city responsible for transportation has at least nearly a hundred warships stationed in order to prevent accidents. ”

"In this case, can you make a successful sneak attack?"

This question left Rocky speechless at the time.

He had never experienced a war of this level, and he had never thought about these things, of course, not because Rocky was not thoughtful, but because he didn't know that war was fought like this, and how could he know these things after only fighting a city battle.

But Wilton knew, so Wilton's conversation with Rocky not only told him about the war zone, but also taught him a thorough lesson, making him understand what war is in essence.

"So...... We can't directly attack the enemy's supply lines. ”

In a few words, Rocky explained the situation to Lilia, and everyone understood that it was unrealistic to rely on Thunderhawk City to directly attack the enemy's supply lines.

"Adult ......"

But when he had finished saying these words, Filly wondered, and he asked, "My lord, if we can't sneak up on the enemy's supply lines, then, what else can we do?"

This question was asked a little bit, and the others also nodded after hearing it, if Thunder Eagle City didn't even have the ability to sneak attack the supply line, then what else could they do in this war?

"No, we're still going to sneak attack. ”

Smiling and waving his hand, Rocky looked around and glanced at everyone, and then said, "The sneak attack still has to be sneak attacked, but we must choose a good target, for example...... Cut off the supply of Tatsujuku Castle. ”

"Although Chensu City is responsible for logistics and supply, but think about it, where does the city's supply come from?"

Rocky's words made everyone stunned at first, and then all showed expressions of sudden realization!

"Rocky, you mean to say...... Let's start from the source and directly cut off the supply of Chensu City?"

"That's right. ”

Nodding at Lilia, Rocky smiled: "We may not be able to move the small Sky City that goes to Chensu City for supply transportation, but can't we move the troops who are supplied to Chensu City from the outside world?"

"My lord, the other party must have thought of this point, and there should be a heavy escort, right?"

At this time, Monte asked.

"Yes, there will be, and there are no fewer of them. ”

In response to this question, Rocky nodded noncommittally: "Although the troops transported to Chensu City from the outside world cannot be a small Sky City, there will inevitably be heavy troops to follow, and it is not easy for us to sneak attack this route even if we want to, so ......"

"So I've already contacted Rose City and Ling Yu City. ”

"My lord, do you want to join forces with them this time?"

For Rose City and Ling Yu City, everyone present is very familiar, because these two cities have a very good relationship with Rocky and Thunder Eagle City, especially with Rose City, Rocky and Karina have had in-depth cooperation, and the two have worked together to exterminate the Mustang Air Pirates.

Therefore, when they learned that Rocky had contacted these two Sky Cities, everyone immediately seemed very happy, so that their strength would not be so weak.

As for joining forces with Karina and Berg, Rocky had actually planned for a long time, in fact, he had already contacted the two before he spoke with Wilton, and his idea at that time was to sneak up on the small Sky City in the Myront family, which was responsible for transportation.

But after talking to Wilton, his plans changed slightly, and the idea of being more positive was unrealistic, and he had to adopt a more strategic plan.

In this regard, Wilton gave him decisive advice.

Wilton suggested that Rocky form a coalition with Karina and Berg and then harass as many outside troops as possible to transport them to Tatsujuku, so that the enemy would inevitably divide their forces to wipe them out.

However, with the current battle situation, in the face of the alliance army led by Wilton, it is impossible for the enemy to send a large or medium-sized sky city to encircle and suppress them, which Wilton is not only confident in, but also will take the initiative to cooperate with them to contain the enemy.

With Wilton on the front line involved, the enemy can only send a small Sky City, and it will definitely spread out to protect the supply lines, so that Rocky will have a chance to face the enemy's small Sky City alone?
