Chapter 405: Take the initiative
Ironstone.
It had been a month since the arrival of the Red Coats and the Black Flag Army, and during this time, there had been almost daily fighting, and the fallen angels had sent them to test them as if the number of undead was endless.
Such a small-scale tentative battle could not cause much trouble for the defenders of Ironstone, and sometimes they could not even reach the foot of the tower, and the undead were repulsed.
Now the daily life of the garrison of Ironstone is to eat, patrol, shoot two arrows at the undead who are besieging the city, eat and sleep......
Compared with ordinary cities, the special defensive fortress of Ironstone Fort is more powerful, and the two mage groups stationed there are not afraid of the enemy's forbidden spell attack, and the durability of the city's defense spell shield is better than that of Victoria City.
Last night, a team of paladins sent by the Holy See of Light and the priests who accompanied the team also arrived, and a cardinal archbishop personally led the team. In addition, the defeated army that escaped after the city of Victoria was breached, including some mercenaries, also joined the defenders of Ironstone, and Duke Hades specially incorporated them into the regular army.
These mercenaries hired by Victoria City are all powerful warriors, and they are the top team in the mercenary guild, and they can fight against the regular army, even if they are defeated, they still maintain a large part of their combat effectiveness.
In this way, the number of top professions in Ironstone Castle has reached twelve, including one Holy Spirit Priest, three legendary magicians, five golden swordsmen, two free rangers, and one high priest of the orc clan.
God knows how this high priest, who was supposed to be presiding over affairs within the orc clan, came to this place.
In addition, the two ace legions of the Red Coats Army and the Black Flag Army and the two legions owned by Ironstone Fort itself that have increased a lot of combat effectiveness under the training of the Ace Army during this period of time, are all bundled together, and their combat effectiveness is also good.
It was time for the daily routine combat meeting, and about thirty people, including the commanders of each legion, top professionals, and senior combat staff officers of the war department, sat around the oval long table in turn.
"At the beginning of the meeting, I knew that this kind of daily routine meeting had nothing substance, and it was as dull as clear soup and little water. In this case, you might as well brainstorm all kinds of wonderful ideas, maybe there are one or two good ideas in it. "The commander of the Southern Military District, Duke Hades came to the opening with great humor.
This "North Star" is not as old-fashioned as Nicholas, he has always been known for his tactical flexibility and unbound by moral dogma, no matter what kind of tactic, no matter how inhumane, as long as he can defeat the enemy, he will choose to use it.
The word "rule" doesn't appear in Hades' dictionary, and his motto is: war is never a moral thing.
With Duke Hades taking the lead, the others are not so restrained, whether they close their eyes and recuperate and think hard, as long as they don't shout, they can do anything.
"Can we make some weapons that can catch the angels from the sky, such as rope nets or something, otherwise the fallen angels are flying in the sky, with their defensive power, our archers can't hurt them at all, only the rangers above the fourth level and the city defense bed crossbow can cause significant damage, but the former is too small, the latter is not accurate enough, and the threat to them is still too small. One of the freelancers said.
"No, the rope net is too easy for the fallen angel to break free, after all, it is not a magic item, and it is not enough to see in front of the power of the fallen angel. Anne vetoed the request to make rope nets.
"Then why don't we use magic materials to make rope nets?" the ranger asked.
"Low-level magic items don't do much, but high-level ones do you know how expensive they are? Anne said as she turned around with a wooden pen in her hand.
"Annie, you rejected the idea of making rope nets, so it looks like you have a good plan of your own?" Duke Hades looked at Annie with a smile.
He believed that since the "Violet" of the kingdom said so, there must be a better plan, and how perfect the plan of the top combat staff officer was, it was all a matter of countless past facts, which could not be questioned.
Anne continued to turn the pen in her hand, then stuffed the end of the pen into her mouth and bit it, and said vaguely, "I think we should take the initiative." ”
"Take the initiative, do you still think we don't have enough casualties?" spoke the Freedom Ranger who had been vetoed twice by Anne just now, and he couldn't help but be suspicious of revenge.
"How many casualties do we have now?" could you please tell me?" Anne let go, a sneer of disdain on her face, "we haven't suffered more than three thousand casualties since we were stationed here, an average of less than a hundred per day, especially now that we have suffered no casualties of even fifty per day in this kind of small-scale tentative attack. We should know that the fallen angels have advanced a lot in other ways, several cities have been breached, and countless people have become all kinds of undead, if we continue to stay idle like this, and wait until the day they come back, how long do you think you can withstand it?
"You're using the lives of your warriors as pawns!
"Now it's war! When do you think this is? The word human life is on our lips every day, do you know how many people will die if we don't stop it! Human life, if we don't do anything, then we will pay more human lives!" Gadar slapped the table, almost shouting.
In this case, the one who does not help his daughter-in-law get ahead is not a good husband!
"Sure enough, it's a husband and wife, but Gadar, you don't have to be so short-tempered, I said, everyone brainstormed. Duke Hades laughed and snorted.
"Anne, since you think so, you must have your own reasoning. I believe that the choice of a top operational staff officer must not be untargeted, and there must be your own reasons, so you might as well state your reasons and discuss them together. ”
Anne turned the pen in her hand, and then drew a simple map on the white paper in her hand.
"You see, this is us," the pen stopped in a straight line, "here are them." The pen stopped again in a circle.
"There are no higher plants on our opposite side except for the grass on the plains, which is suitable for cavalry, and we happen to have the best cavalry. The Fallen Angels only send small forces to attack every day, and it can be guessed that they are ready to drag us until reinforcements arrive. Their current forces are not enough to break through our defenses, but when the undead of the other lines come, we will not be able to hold on. ”
Anne continued to draw circles elsewhere.
"We're in isolation right now, and we have to get in touch with other cities as soon as possible, so we just have to expand our territory. ”
"The only way to expand our territory is to take the initiative. ”
