Chapter Seventy-Five: This Battle Will Be Won
If you want to fight, you have to fight, but you don't have to rush straight ahead!
The only remaining Eagle Jiao Sky Rider has become a professional scout, under the gaze of the Abyss Demon Eye, it must be cautious, the range of this thing exceeds that of the city defense type psionic heavy crossbow, with an angle of 360 degrees, and stronger air defense capabilities.
Terrans possess similar technology, but require large psionic cores for support, and the threshold for MONOCULUS using Abyssal Breath as energy is lower.
After two days of air and land reconnaissance, Mr. Wei made a simple map of the demon army's garrison, during which there were a large number of semi-permanent fortifications, and the soldiers lived in rough and tall wooden huts instead of temporary tents.
"Yo, this is the Eight Formations of the King!" Zhang Sheng looked at the map and complained.
The demon army actually turned this place into a permanent camp so quickly, and although it was not as good as the city in terms of defense, it was far from being comparable to those temporary camps. At the beginning, he was just fooling General Mu, but now it seems that the way the demon army behaves at this time is indeed different from others.
"The attack range of the Abyss Demon Eye is too large, no matter which direction it attacks, it will inevitably be hit, even if we dismantle the war equipment on the ship and transport it, will the Shenwu Fourth Army be able to withstand it?" Mr. Wei's finger pointed at several locations on the map, which were weak points in the defense, but the wide field of view of the Abyss Eye could make up for them to the greatest extent.
If you want to attack, you must protect the war equipment position by the Shenwu Fourth Army, and build the aura city wall with the legion-level [United as One]. But without the protection of the Shenwu Fourth Army, it would be too dangerous for General Mu to cut into the demon army camp again.
"These demon armies are a little different from what is recorded in the book, impulsiveness is impulsive, and it should be forbearable." General Mu's fingers tapped on the armrest of his chair.
"It's different, after so many years, the abyss is also improving." Mr. Wei said with a headache, while reconnoitring in the past two days, he also played a small trick to lure the demon army out of the camp, but no matter how he tossed, the demon army didn't pay attention to him at all, just like a stunning beauty throwing flattery to a blind man.
Doesn't the book say that even if it's just a few simple tricks, the Abyss Demon Army can easily be hit? But he has already done everything he can, it can't be him, a strategist, so it can only be that there is a problem with the demon army along the way!
"I still don't recommend a strong attack, it's too dangerous, the Abyss Demon Eye has appeared, who knows what else is hidden in the camp."
"Then send a letter to Zhenyuan City." General Mu didn't insist, his life was still at stake at this time, so it seemed that there was some possibility of realizing the plan of the kobold military division to fool him.
Zhang Sheng was also very happy that this batch of reinforcements from the expeditionary force included a series of talents such as cooks, war equipment masters, building construction, etc., and he only needed to stuff a group of people into it in the name of assistance as before, and he could always learn something.
The question now is whether the army will retreat to the north shore of the previous demon army, or retreat all the way to Jiaolong Village. There is a certain risk in garrisoning on the north bank, it is too close to the demon army camp, and it can be slapped in the face in half a day, and now the demon army camp that is circled like an iron bucket, no one can tell what the situation is.
"General, the Legion Commander has arrived."
Just as a group of people were discussing the location of the garrison, General Mu's personal guards, who were guarding outside the tent, came in and reported.
"General Liu?" There is only one person who can be called the commander of the legion by his personal guards, Liu Dong, the commander of the Eagle Jiao Legion, his nominal top boss.
A man dressed in purple-gold gorgeous armor, walking with a tiger, stepped into the big tent with a strong sense of oppression, "Mu Zhiqu, you are too slow!" ”
"General Liu, why are you here?" General Mu's eyes sank slightly, although the two are nominal superiors and subordinates, there is no substantive subordinate relationship between the two, he is here to cross the gold, the Mu family naturally wants to ensure that he has the independent right to go out, otherwise it is not a crossing, but a part-time job!
"Of course I'm here to help you, you don't want to drag it out until next year, do you?" Liu Dong's eyes were faintly filled with anger, the thousand eagle Jiao empty horses in Mu Zhiqu's hands belonged to his power, but they were temporarily led by Mu Zhiqu, as soon as this family left, the military power would naturally return to his hands, but now the thousand empty horses only left him with a fraction, how could this make him not angry!
If it's a regular class, it's okay, even if it's as high as the ninth order, it's not impossible to replenish the troops, but the empty cavalry is different, and the reserve soldiers have it, but there are no mounts! You have to wait in line for your mounts.
This is equivalent to making him lose one-fifth of his strength at once, which no one can stand anymore.
"Isn't the demon army camp right in front of you, what are you waiting for?" Liu Dong sat down on the chair that Mr. Wei had just let go, and looked at General Mu with a playful gaze.
"The general has already planned to temporarily withdraw his troops and wait for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements from Zhenyuan City before attacking." General Mu glanced at Liu Dong with a cold face.
"Still need reinforcements? Mu Zhiqu, can you do it, this is the level of the heirs of the Mu family? Judging by this, you are still more suitable for a political career. Liu Dong laughed and mocked.
"Where's your appointment? If the Governor doesn't remove me as the commander, then you will have to obey my orders when you come!" General Mu replied forcefully.
"Here you go!" Liu Dong took out a pair of papers, "You still be your boss, but you can't control Lao Tzu." ”
The other battlefields have all had results, only the last remnants of the army are left, but the earliest battlefield opened up here has a tendency to intensify, as the newly appointed governor, Feng Xuan can't help but have some doubts about Mu Zhiqu's ability, so he transferred Liu Dong and the entire Eagle Jiao Legion to suppress the formation.
However, because there is a nominal superior-subordinate relationship between the two, naturally they can't be subordinates commanding superiors, but if Liu Dong directly seizes Mu Zhiqu's military power, he is a little sorry for the benefits that Mu gave him at the beginning. So he gave such a compromise method, Liu Dong only assisted in the battle, and the battlefield was still dominated by Mu Zhiqu.
"You want to fight?" General Mu asked after carefully reading the appointment documents.
"You are the boss, it's up to you to fight or withdraw, Lao Tzu is just assisting in the battle, but the battle report on Lao Tzu's side will definitely not cover it up for you." Liu Dong grinned.
"Good! Hit, why not! With the assistance of General Liu, this battle will be won! General Mu smiled and got up, but there was a bit of coldness in this smile.
"Order, prepare for war!"
Mr. Wei, who retreated behind General Mu, shook his head secretly after watching the whole play, and the next battle has nothing to do with winning or losing.
When Liu Dong smashed the field strongly, Zhang Sheng and Qin Liangyu, who also retreated to the side, glanced at each other, they were also helping their comrades, and there were few major generals, so it was better to stay and defend the camp, and the next big battle would be handed over to the bigwigs.
