After hearing this news, Egger was both relieved and worried.

He was glad that the enemy did not know that he, the supreme commander of the human side, had ventured out of the front line a few days ago, and the land was in a state of emptiness without a leader for a short time. If they take the opportunity to launch a general attack instead of a bunch of tricks, they are afraid that they have already broken through the Grand Canyon to destroy the land and embark on the road south to Winterfell to destroy the Seven Kingdoms.

And the worry is again: to say that these movements of the ghouls are tricks, but in fact, the Night King has well recognized and used the advantages of his army to "not eat, sleep and not be afraid of death", and has formulated tricky tactics that make it difficult for the human defenders to deal with, and it is difficult to find a way to crack it.

The reason why Egger knew that the Grand Canyon was difficult to defend and still forcibly arranged the defense line, in addition to what he said before: to provide early warning time for tens of thousands of land-gifted residents and prevent the enemy from quietly bypassing the Great Wall and directly attacking the north and abroad, there was another important factor - he wanted to take advantage of the natural danger of the Great Wall, which was not inferior to the desperate Great Wall, to play a beautiful battle loss ratio as much as possible, and to exchange less for more as much as possible to consume the enemy's troops.

The Night's Watch had a town and twenty fortresses, which sounded like a lot, but at least a third of them were in tatters and defenseless, and if the strange spirits bypassed the Great Wall and attacked, it would be difficult for Ig to "put all the more than 40,000 soldiers and civilians behind the walls", and the advantages of being large and well prepared would not be brought into play. On the contrary: 10,000 of them, with nearly half of the dragon crystal weapons and wildfires of the entire land grant, to the Grand Canyon, relying on the geographical advantage that is not inferior to the Great Wall, if the Night King really commands the army of the dead to force the passage with the tactics of a sea of people, even if he can break through the defense line in one go, he will have to fill in at least five figures of ghouls under the power of the wildfire.

In the first battle, three or a quarter of the troops on the other side will be consumed, and then the night watchman will fight it in the land grant, and the pressure will be much less.

But now the Night King not only did not come as hard as Egger expected, but also used this small-scale night harassment to consume the morale and combat readiness of the human side - to cut the flesh with a blunt knife and slowly "grind" this line of defense carefully prepared by Egg.

Sending hundreds or thousands of soldiers over the canyon and across the frozen Ruhe River to the feet of the defenders every night is impossible for a normal army to use: the impact on their morale is much greater than the trouble for the defenders. But the ghouls have no concept of "morale" at all, and they are not afraid of fatigue and injury, they take advantage of the night to cross the river to destroy the fish beams and trees on the south wall of the Grand Canyon under the noses of the defenders...... Psychological tension is secondary, the fear is that the "wolf is coming" repeats itself day after day, if one day the defenders in a certain place relax their vigilance, and the enemy turns the feint into a general attack, it will be a bad thing.

"The most important thing at the moment is to judge the enemy's intentions. Are the strangers really so jealous of Yuliangmu that they will never cross the canyon without shoveling, or is the destruction of the woods just a pretense, and the main purpose is to use fatigue warfare to consume our energy and combat readiness?" Egger regained his composure, knocked on the table, and forcibly pulled the topic from false positives to serious military discussions, "In addition to this, we also have to consider the third possibility: Is the enemy trying to contain the main force of the land-grant defense in the canyon and launch a sneak attack on most of the other parts of the Great Wall?"

Warner nodded: "We had this suspicion, so the day before yesterday we put aside the warning of Prince Stark and risked sending the Shapeshifters to reconnoiter the north side of the Great Wall - as a result, the eagle controlled by the Shapeshifters in charge of the Grand Canyon section did not fly back, and the people went crazy, and they are now under house arrest in the Shadow Tower." According to other shapeshifters, they were lucky enough to recover, but it is unknown how long it will take. ”

Shapeshifters had difficulty getting a controllable bird, and they lost a ...... I hope people are okay.

Egg sighed, "Good, so we at least know that the Night King is still across the Grand Canyon." Stop sending shapeshifters to the other side of the canyon to deliver birds, and the flying reconnaissance along the Great Wall can continue...... Although it is at the risk of losing the shapeshifter, this is not the time to worry about these things. ”

"Understood, I will immediately convey this order to the fortresses of the Great Wall. ”

......

Egger's idea was simple: unless the Night King would break away from the army of ghouls and go it alone, he would be there if the shapeshifters were lost. As long as the flight reconnaissance is still going on, it is impossible for the tens of thousands of dead armies to quietly move to other places for surprise attacks, and once one day the shapeshifters in charge of the Great Wall section also lose birds...... At the very least, it proves that the defenders of this section need to be much more vigilant.

"The number of troops on the other side of the canyon has reached the upper limit of my expectations, and the path near the cliff is narrow and rugged, and no more troops can be used. The Great Wall of Desperation can block the infiltration of the Cold God's power to the south, and the priority of protecting it is higher than the gains and losses of one city and one place...... No matter how much the commanders of the Shadow Tower and Donghaiwang exaggerated the urgency of the situation, they would never draw reinforcements from the basic guards along the Great Wall, lest there be a gap in the defenses at the top of the wall. In addition to this bottom line...... In other respects, every effort was made to meet all the requirements of the front-line commanders. Egg took a deep breath, "Okay, is there anything else that needs to be discussed right now?" ”

"Yes. Yamm looked at the two colleagues and hesitated before speaking, "On the night of the false report, after the beacon fire in the canyon was lit, the land was immediately put on the highest alert state you arranged, but in the process, many accidents occurred and many problems were exposed. There was a riot, a number of brawls, at least half a dozen strong women's murders, and countless robberies, and even more so in the dark, and there were still people who tried to storm the inner fort in the dark—and we later captured the leader, who confessed that they were trying to 'rescue' the king of the Cypriots, Mance Red, who was under house arrest, so that he could take command of the war against the dead in place of you, who had escaped. The funniest thing is...... There were still people who drowned in the small lake in the middle of Houguan Town, no, to be precise, they froze to death. We can't be sure if he's been forced into an ice cave or if he thinks he'll be able to escape the wrath of the strangers by hiding under the frozen lake. ”

"Similar situations have occurred in many fortresses along the Great Wall, but Houguan Town is the most serious because of its large population. Warner Buckwell replied with an ugly expression, "None of us were killed by the Strangers and Ghouls on the night of the false positive, but the internal chaos resulted in double-digit casualties. After dawn the next day, we held accountable, and after Guanghouguan Town, more than a dozen people who did things were hanged...... Many of the prisoners admitted that they had listened to the rumor that the commander-in-chief had thrown off the Great Wall and run away, thinking that we had no hope of winning the battle, and that they had given up on themselves. ”

"Have you caught the rumor-mongers?"

"Nope. My lord, this is not the usual slander and malicious slander, the rumor is not made up by a specific person, but the association caused by the fact that you 'left the crown town', and it is impossible to find out and catch the culprit - more precisely, if you really want to investigate, you have to deal with a lot of people. ”

"There is also a small tribe assigned to live south of Houguan Town, which directly violates the requirements of the Night's Watch's battle plan...... Abandon the camp when the beacon fire is lit and head south along King's Road to escape the grant and take refuge in a 'warmer place'. They didn't think about it, how could a large group of hundreds of people, including women and children, pass through the northern border in a hidden way? If I hadn't personally led the cavalry to chase the people back the next day, I was afraid that they would have not seen the strange ghosts and would have died under the sword of the Amber army...... It's not a pity for them to die, but this 'mismanagement' pot will most likely be blamed on your lords in the north. Warner said coldly, "The leader of this tribe has been thrown into the dungeon, and it is up to the adults to decide how to do it." ”
