Chapter 121: The First Battle is a Decisive Battle
On the Far Northern Plain, about twenty kilometers from the Ice Cap Barrier, two million troops under the Doge's Palace had been stationed there, and a large fortress comparable to a city had been imposed.
On the top floor of the castle in the center, Luo Yuanji was looking at the three pieces of information that had just been presented.
Looking at it, he suddenly laughed: "Heh, it's really a child, he doesn't know how to control people at all, even if he looks down on it, he shouldn't show it in front of people."
After taunting Leng Xiyue, Luo Yuanji pressed a button on the table, and after a while, five people in heavy armor walked up and knelt down on one knee in front of him.
"Your Excellency the Governor."
Luo Yuanji motioned for them to be excused, and then handed them the three pieces of information in his hand: "This is the enemy's latest combat arrangement, and after the mutual certification of the three Contra-level cronies, I think the credibility is extremely high, you can see how to deal with it."
Several people looked at each other, and then you look at me and I look at you, all of them looked skeptical, and finally a general dressed in gold armor who looked like the leader stood up: "This... Lord Governor, is the enemy's plan too child's play? I'm worried that this might be some kind of conspiracy, or maybe the enemy's ploy to divert the tiger away from the mountain."
"What, Marshal Xu thinks this source of information is inaccurate?" Luo Yuanji glanced at the leader, he still had a smile on his face, but he had a feeling that he was hiding a knife in his smile.
「... The Governor-General's intelligence network naturally did not dare to question it, if the enemy really arranged it like this, then our chances of victory could reach more than ninety percent, and the Polar Ice City was not a strategic point in the first place, but the tens of thousands of garrisons in the city could become a barrier that was not so easy to take by virtue of the defensive line, but if the enemy's armored division was not transferred..."
"So what? We already had the intention of using the enemy's armored forces as the enemy, and if the enemy sent them out, we would also directly face them, and if we were to transfer them or sneak up on the rear, it would only make our operations go more smoothly."
Luo Yuanji waved his hand nonchalantly, he was not underestimating the enemy, nor was he unaware of the worries of the person in front of him, but simply felt that it was unnecessary, because the enemy's armored forces were originally the focus of their attacks, so they also built a large amount of equipment to deal with it.
If you can come, it will naturally be a direct frontal battle, and you will not be afraid at all with the blessing of various equipment, if you don't come, it will really be the enemy who has sold a fatal flaw and let them pick up a victory in vain.
Two million to one hundred thousand, and now is different from the past, the threat of armored divisions to their regular forces has been greatly weakened, if you are still afraid, just go home and take the children.
Seeing Luo Yuanji say this, Xu Rui is also a big one.
In fact, the direct army of the original Governor's Office was very loose, with about 200,000 troops, and there was no need for any establishment at all, but now a large number of puppet armies have been reactivated, and the number has increased significantly, so some commanders have been summoned.
Xu Rui turned out to be a captain of the Royal Knights of the Heaven Dou Empire, and he also commanded several battles of more than 10,000 people, and the results were quite fruitful, but unfortunately he had to flee here because he was framed by his colleagues, and his strength was also said to be in the past, he was a Contra Douluo, this kind of strength was quite mixed in the northern provinces, and he chose to join the forces of the Governor's Mansion and became an existence similar to the captain of the security guard, but he was responsible for the city defense of Polar Ice City. ….
Where did the northern provinces need any city defenses? This position is almost the same as a fictitious position, but it is also a fat gap, and it can collect tolls from some small forces, and it can be regarded as worry-free food and clothing.
It wasn't until the end of the war that his talent was remembered, and he was also the supreme commander of the Governor's Mansion Legion.
However, because his strength was only a low-level Contra Douluo, in fact, most of the high-level officials of the Governor's Mansion looked down on him a little, and Luo Yuanji turned a deaf ear to this.
So what can be done? It's all here, not to mention that the treatment given by the other party is really generous, so let's check first!
"In that case, Lord Governor, our staff has already drawn up three plans, and I hope you can choose one of them, and when it is dawn, we can attack." As he spoke, Xu Rui handed over three plans.
Luo Yuanji took a look at it, and quickly frowned.
These plans are all designated according to the enemy's defense line, the northern provinces are many plains, so the enemy in the early weapons of the huge advantage in this plain to build a huge defense line like the Great Wall, its name is the ice crown barrier, including countless heavy artillery machine guns, 50,000 regular troops and about 100,000 militia volunteers, these people can not be skilled in the use of high-end weapons, can only use light weapons to shoot simply, the accuracy is almost none, the combat effectiveness is relatively low.
But in this kind of large-scale battlefield, let alone the militia, even civilians who can shoot and change bullets can kill a few people in a random shot, and the characteristic of this fortress is that the support is rapid, with the internal trucks and other means of transportation can quickly realize the dispatch of the defensive line, focusing on the defense of the attacked position, although there is an absolute advantage in numbers, but it is obvious that a direct attack on the enemy's icecrown fortress will definitely produce great casualties.
Unless you don't think about it after the war, this is definitely a bad policy, you know, although the Heaven Dou Empire seems harmless, but if you know that the Governor's Mansion has been erased seven or eight times out of ten, no matter how gentle the emperor is, it is impossible to let go of this merit of expanding the territory.
Thinking of this, Luo Yuanji threw this plan aside and looked at the second plan.
This second plan, in fact, is the same as the information obtained before, in fact, it is to bypass the defense line, from the extreme north or simply from the Heaven Dou Empire, but this is too troublesome, the reason why the extreme north is distinguished from the northern province is because although the northern province is also very cold, but it can still live in people, and there is also a pleasant climate in spring and summer, on the other hand, the extreme north land, it is a real purgatory, the four seasons are cold, and the temperature has dropped dozens of degrees after crossing the dividing line, if there is not enough cold equipment, Traveling through here will undoubtedly create a huge amount of attrition.
After all, the armored division dares to cross with vehicles, and the personnel do not need to be exposed, and there is also a carbon coating that isolates the cold against the sky, and your army composed of infantry and cavalry dares to cross the far north, it is somewhat unknowable.
Of course, it was not the fools who specified the plan, and they did not intend to let the regular troops in, but to form a surprise army composed entirely of soul divisions to sneak attack the past, but since the enemy had a plan to use the armored division to circumvent it, in order to avoid the soul division legion colliding with it and giving it in vain, this is obviously not very feasible. ….
As for the Heaven Dou Empire, it seems impossible, but in fact, it is the most likely, only need to submit a letter and give the royal family enough benefits, and it is not a big deal to borrow a sneak attack, anyway, the Heaven Dou Empire has long been faceless, and there is nothing that cannot be promised for money.
However, this kind of plan has a long cycle, and it will take a week to finalize it to say the least, which is obviously not a good idea for Luo Yuanji, who is eager to seek a decisive battle.
Well, there's only one last option.
Although the northern provinces are mostly plains, they are not everywhere plains, there is a relatively large forest in the middle of the border line between the two sides, which is inhabited by some soul beasts, and the highest strength is only twenty or thirty thousand years, for their army, it is basically the same as nothing, just push it all the way.
But here, the enemy did not connect the entire ice crown barrier, but only built some bunkers at the end of the forest, each bunker defense manpower is only a few dozen, although it is also relatively dense, can effectively prevent outsiders from sneaking in, but compared to the ice crown barrier that supports each other as a whole, the defense is extremely weak, it seems that they use this forest as a natural barrier, after all, there are still more soul beasts living here, and the terrain is relatively harsh, and no one will attack from here.
This is also the most admired plan of the General Staff, if the soul division, cavalry, and also targeted heavy armor units as the lead, ordinary infantry on the periphery of the forest, to avoid being outflanked, wait for the front army to kill into the enemy's hinterland, attack Stormwind City, this line of defense is self-defeating, if the enemy's main force comes back, then their frontal troops can attack directly, no matter how you look at it, it is an excellent plan.
"Okay, Xu Rui, let's follow this plan." The more Luo Yuanji looked at it, the more satisfied he felt, so he quickly set the tone.
"Yes!" After receiving instructions, several people immediately returned to their own regiment and began to lay out the details of the battle.
As soon as the morning dawned, the army set off one after another, and about half a million elite composed of cavalry, soul masters, and heavy armor units left the station
and rushed towards the forest in the middle of the icecap.
Behind the 500,000 main force, with nearly a million puppet infantry legions covering their rear, they will build a defensive line on the outskirts of the forest to defend against the possible presence of the Icecrown Barrier garrison.
[To tell the truth,Recently, I've been using a change source to read books and chase more,Change the source switch,Read aloud with more timbre,Android and Apple are available.】 】
Everything seemed so well organized, and although there was a lot of movement in the coordinated attack of a million troops, the enemy must have discovered this battle plan, but what was the use? Luo Yuanji firmly believes that the enemy has no way to counteract at all.
Fighting in the field? Without an armored division, no matter how powerful the guns are, the heavy armored troops facing them will be torn apart sooner or later, but the soul master who can fly under his command is always reporting the location of the enemy's armored division, and also confirming that they are indeed making a detour in the extreme north.
Thinking so, Luo Yuanji simply drove the expedition directly, and kept urging the main army to speed up, he had already thought that he had obtained the full set of scientific and technological output of Stormwind City, and used it to become a force that could be stronger than the empire, so as to leave the corner of the northern province and begin to dominate the continent. ….
That is until a heavily armored soldier stepped on an iron lump as he advanced, making a click.
In order to prevent these people from fleeing for fear of death, these main forces are basically puppet legions except for soul masters, and they will only charge according to orders, without fear of life and death.
Stepping on such a strange device in the forest was obviously not a normal thing, and it was supposed that he should stop and check it, but the puppet soldier ignored it and raised his feet to continue walking.
Rumble!
A deafening explosion sounded, and the heavily armored soldier was instantly torn apart, and the fragments from the explosion also affected other people around him, but because the surrounding soldiers were also wearing heavy armor, they did not cause any damage, and they didn't even say anything about this scene and continued to move forward.
But soon, the explosions sounded one after another, and the heavy armor troops were not badly damaged, but if they were blown up in the middle of the soul division troops or cavalry, it would be different, the fragments were undoubtedly specially used for anti-personnel, and the cavalry corps with armor thickness was not as good as the heavy infantry and the soul masters who had no armor at all.
"Stop!" Seeing this strange scene, Luo Yuanji hurriedly stopped, and then called Xu Rui over.
"Marshal Xu, what's the matter, this situation is not on the plan, is it?" Luo Yuanji looked at Xu Rui, and his face gradually became unkind.
This is only half of the way forward, and this situation is encountered, if this goes all the way, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will die before they are even bigger.
"This... Don't worry, Lord Governor, this may be some trap they have set up, and although we don't have the tools to spot it in time, it will be enough to gather 10,000 puppet soldiers to clear their way."
Xu Rui's ability is still there, if he is in the Heaven Dou Emperor *** team, he can only watch this situation, there is no good way, but in the northern province where the morality and bottom line are extremely low... Just let the puppet soldiers get out of the way.
Anyway, if you die 10,000, it would be good to catch 10,000 slaves to refine and replenish it, and at this point, he and Luo Yuanji are surprisingly consistent.
"Good idea, but not necessary." Of course, Luo Yuanji thought the same way, and he couldn't help but show some appreciation on Xu Rui's face, he didn't care about the life or death of the puppet soldiers, but right now, he obviously had a better idea: "Third Elder, yours should be able to solve this situation, right?"
Hearing Luo Yuanji's words, an old man who was not good-looking stood up and replied respectfully, "Yes, just leave it to the old man."
As soon as the words fell, nine soul rings appeared behind the three elders, and then he took a step and flew into the air, and a black soul ring behind him lit up.
Then, a flash of energy poured out of his palm, turned into thousands of thin threads, burrowed into the ground, and pulled out all the mines buried in the ground, and under his manipulation, a huge iron was condensed
The ball, without looking at it, is thrown directly into the distance.
With a loud explosion, the trouble caused by these little things disappeared.
"Alright, let's move on." Luo Yuanji waved his hand and motioned for the large army to continue advancing.
Without these gadgets, the enemy seemed to be alive, and the forest became a thoroughfare, and soon the 500,000-strong army passed through the forest and directly confronted the surrounding bunker defenses.
Looking at the sparse bunker in front of him, he could even see the panicked expressions of the people inside, seeing this, Luo Yuanji couldn't help but smile contemptuously, and then waved his hand reluctantly:
"All the troops, attack!".
Yehua's heart is clear
