Chapter Twenty-Eight: Strategizing
A clear voice came from afar.
"It's a pleasure to have friends from afar. They are all the people of the creator god, why should they kill each other? Viscount Fan, Mr. Dahainuo, as a guest from afar, I sincerely suggest that both sides withdraw their troops, so that the people of Li will not be poisoned, and the officers and men of the three armies can live. ”
For a moment, I felt very strange, the terrifying black dragon was at least twice as large as the golden dragon, and its wings spread out almost enveloping the southern sky. However, such an unprecedented and menacing dragon could not hide the faint peace of the young man in white.
Dressed in white, without any armor, it was enough to make the long golden sè hair of the female xìng's jealousy draped comfortably over her shoulders, the red sè hairband was tied on her forehead, and an extra-long pale red sè with both hands unsheathed swords slanted behind her back, and you could feel the kindness hidden in the aura of her eyes.
Looking at this young man from a distance, he suddenly had a very familiar feeling, that feeling of peace and indifference......, who is it? It's Amy. From a distance, the temperament of a young scholar is almost exactly the same as Amy's, with a hint of fatigue in peace, and indifference in wisdom.
It stands to reason that the boy's peaceful temperament should be incompatible with the murderous dark dragon sitting down, but the first feeling is definitely not like this.
The soft gaze swept over the tragic battlefield, occasionally flashing a little helplessness and unbearability.
Da Qingshan and Chi Aotian heard the boy's voice, their bodies trembled slightly, and the two of them invariably said a name: "Yi Hailan?" Oh, is he? This is a name that Amy, Da Qingshan, and Chi Aotian often hang on their lips, and it appears even more frequently than the members of the Golden Dragon Knights, and every time they talk about this name, they show the kind of god who expects to communicate.
The young man's voice was interrupted by rudeness, and his irascible voice rumbled like thunder from the wilderness in all directions: "Hey, what do you say to them, and you sin against the gods, die!"
"G-h-h-" The trunk held in Daqingshan's hand let out the last low moan unwillingly before it was crushed, and the juice of the green sè flowed down Daqingshan's fingers, and with a strong hatred, Daqingshan's mouth spit out four words with difficulty: "Evil dragon chanting wind-"
Oh, it's it? I said why is Green so grumpy......
Obviously, the evil dragon Yinfeng didn't know that someone was whispering its name in the distance, and continued its arrogant performance, without hearing any spells, and the air quickly materialized Two yellow wind dragons appeared, obviously, the dragon summoned the wind dragon.
Looking at the slowing down of the fight, watching more blood sprayed on the grassland, Yi Hailan's clear voice sounded again, and his tone was already a little anxious, with a hint of threat: "Within 10 breaths, please withdraw the troops of the main generals of both sides, if either side continues to fight, I will cooperate with the other side to attack with all my strength." ”
Between the words, boundless soldiers poured out from behind the hillside in dozens of neat formations, and the snow-bright weapons suddenly made Nantian's Aoyang lose its brilliance.
100 soldiers, lined up in a phalanx will look very thin, 1,000 soldiers lined up in a phalanx, has formed a force to be reckoned with, 10,000 soldiers, especially cavalry, archers, heavy infantry, pikemen together composed of mixed phalanx, already has overwhelming momentum. The huge phalanx in front of you is definitely not just 10,000 soldiers.
I think that all the people at that time would be like me, with infinite cold in their hearts.
Because, what appeared in front of us was not a human army at all, and even the ugliest bears, werewolves, and half-orcs needed to be described as handsome and chic compared to the soldiers of this army.
Appearing in the front is a giant soldier who is two heads taller than a half-orc, with a thick body of purple and red sè, an upper body, and a black sè cloth belt around the waist of the lower body, countless exaggerated muscles bulging like a small hill on the torso, and even the neck is covered with strong pieces of meat, with two curved purple sè horns on the head, and two huge wings behind it, which seem to rise off the ground at any time between flutters, and a slender tail with a sharp barb flapping impatiently on the ground. The two huge palms were without any weapons, constantly holding and hammering everything in front of them, although they were far away, they could still be faintly seen, and the front of each finger showed sharp nails - there was a word that was about to be blurted out, wasn't this the legendary demon?
Behind these perverted muscular men is another phalanx, these warriors are almost as tall as the purple warriors in front of them, with curved horns like a goat, but their faces are slender, and after looking at them, the first impression is: "Sheep? "Their lower bodies really resemble sheep's hooves, but their upper limbs resemble human beings, and they hold in their hands a giant pointed hammer of silver sè.
On both sides of these two phalanxes, there is a phalanx of knights, and the known knights are different in that these knights have dark faces, two pointed ears exposed on the outside of the armor, and their faces are similar to those of humans, their bodies are much thinner than humans, and they carry slender bows and arrows behind their backs, which is estimated to be the legendary dark clan jīng spirit. Under the slender body, there was a small terrain dragon beast in pitch black, the scales on its body were like bulging bags, and its blood-red tongue kept sticking out of its mouth.
Behind the phalanx of knights, there seemed to be a group of smuggling monsters, with shaggy hair and at least four or five arms, each holding a different weapon.
The soldiers behind were already drowning in the rising dust......
Although tens of thousands of people were marching, there was hardly a single soldier in the whole procession, except for the hurried steps.
Terrible soldiers, a strong lineup...... Even the bear man couldn't help but slow down the weapon in his hand when he saw the legendary demon.
There was no order from any general, and the two warring sides stopped fighting at the same time. The generals of the two warring sides who came to their senses invariably tasted what the young man said just now, and Viscount Fan commanded the standard-bearers of the headquarters to change the flags several times in a row, and all the soldiers began to shrink. On the side of the fascist continent, where the original camp was, another group of officers appeared, and under their command, the soldiers of the fascist army also quickly retreated, and the last group of bear and orc warriors who withdrew from the pocket formation were covered with blood and wounds, and blood was gurgling out of the flipped muscles. I could almost see the gloomy look in their eyes that was a line between life and death.
Suddenly, just as the three camps were gradually becoming more organized, a young man's cold voice suddenly sounded between heaven and earth, sharp and hoarse, just like a boy who had just entered the green chūn stage and was pouring his voice: "Yin Feng, I am really very, very, very happy to see you again." ”
The tone and language were completely different, a cold air covered everything in an instant, and the sky that was still clear just now suddenly became cloudy, and snowflakes fell from nothing.
Then, a clear dragon roar resounded through the nine heavens and soared into the sky, and everyone felt the infinite anger contained in the tsunami-like dragon roar of the mountain.
At the beginning of the autumn and winter of the 4th year of the magic calendar, under the noses of more than 40,000 soldiers in the three major camps, Lu'er and the dragon were promoted at the same time.
The lifespan of dragons is calculated in thousands of years, the lifespan of the divine dragon is even calculated in 10,000 years, and the longest recorded divine dragon even has a lifespan of more than 50,000 years. In the life of a dragon, the advanced is the most crucial step, and most dragons are divided into 5 levels.
The newborn dragon is a first-order, about 100 years later, it will enter the second order, and the second-order dragon will already spew out a long and extremely powerful dragon flame; the third-order dragon can already use all the 5th-order magic of the system, and the giant wings are spread, and it can already swim for nine days; the fourth-order dragon can already master all the forbidden spells of the system and release all the 5th-order magic of the same system, of course, as the mount of the dragon knight, only the dragon above the 4th order can, otherwise it cannot carry the burden of the human knight. As a wise divine dragon, after reaching the 4th level, he can already be proficient in using human language, and the 5th level is the ultimate state of the dragon, after the divine dragon reaches the 5th level, he can transform into any animal in the world, and he is familiar with all kinds of forbidden spells, or to put it more accurately, it is already necessary to use the word "god" to describe it.
In the long life of the dragon, the time between each advance is separated by a hundred years, and the average divine dragon will not be able to reach its peak state until after the age of 2000. Therefore, for dragons, once they have a premonition that they are about to advance, they generally return to their dragon's lair and bless their nests with various concealment, attack, and bewitching magic to ensure that they survive the advancement. There are hardly any races other than the Dragons that have seen the Dragons advance.
In front of everyone's eyes, Lu'er and Yaoli staged a shocking scene at the same time.
The furious Lu'er exuded a pale green flame, and the curved and stretched dragon body suddenly froze in the air...... The endless dark clouds in the sky were like a huge heavenly dome enveloping the heavens and the earth, and the heavens from far to near were dim. In the dim sky, a colorful electric light faintly erupted on Lu'er's perfect body, and then the whole body became shiny, like an emerald with excellent transparency, floating in the sky and emitting dazzling light. Then, the wings of the green sè slowly spread and expanded, and the dense scales that had covered the body burst and fell from the sky—like the countless jadeites shining brightly under the sun. Lu'er's body skyrocketed again, and the light of pure green sè went straight into the sky.
Among the 3 camps, except for the 5 black dragons and the golden dragon, all the other flying dragons staggered and landed on the hillside, hiberning in the direction of Lu'er, and all the earthly dragons crawled all over the battlefield, even the earthly dragons who were injured in the war just now struggled to shake their bodies, and their limbs landed on the ground at the same time, making a whimpering surrender sound. The dark dragon and the golden dragon let out a low moan of restlessness, not knowing if they needed to salute the green dragon envoy on this bloody battlefield.
Next to the emerald dragon with a translucent body, a thick black mist slowly emanated from the dragon's body, and in an instant, the black mist covered the entire half of the hillside, and then, hiss-ang-hiss-ang, the ugly voice was said from the black fog, a larger body was about to break out of the dragon, and a row of thick bone spurs were born on the original curved dragon's neck, and the black sè fog disappeared in the dragon's mouth in a breath.
After advancing, Lu'er, who gradually calmed down, spoke again: "Yin Feng, I've been waiting for you for a long time." By the way, it seems that the head you lost last time was sold for a lot of money by our head leader, and your current head is bigger than the last time, so there should be a better price. It's just that I don't know which rich person can have such furnishings in their homes. ”
Sure enough, in the past countless years, I only know when the raging Yinfeng has been ridiculed like this, as if the scales have been torn off in pieces, Yinfeng's huge body spun violently between heaven and earth, and its sharp giant claws hissed through the air angrily - Yinfeng, which once possessed the blood of a wind dragon, has a speed that ordinary dragons do not have.
The white-clothed Yi Hailan was like a flat boat, clinging to Yinfeng's back in the wind, and immediately tried to calm the noble dragon that had entered a bloody state after Yinfeng had just calmed down.
"Brother Daqingshan, too many people have died in the battle just now, can you appease the Green Dragon Envoy, otherwise if you start fighting again, the remaining tens of thousands of lives here will inevitably be involved. ”
is worthy of Yi Hailan, who found someone who could be moved in the shortest possible time, and even found a way to impress this person.
Although Daqingshan also hated Yinfeng very much, Yinfeng fought, Daqingshan and Amy died nine times, and how many mercenary brothers who were traveling with him died in battle. On the big issue of tens of thousands of people's lives and deaths, Da Qingshan did not hesitate, and hurriedly called Lu'er: "Lu'er, come down, let's talk about this matter later, and we will also ask Amy." ”
The Lord Green Dragon, who gave enough face, also calmed down at this time, although he had been seriously offended by Yin Feng before, but now it seems that Yin Feng's rì is already very bad, and he has become someone else's mount, and this other person is still Yi Hailan, who he has known before, and he feels quite relieved. And in front of everyone's eyes, it seems that there is something wrong with Yinfeng directly to have a dragon battle.
Although the cheeks were still bulging, the green still fell. Of course, after staying with Amy, Chi Hanfeng and the others for a long time, it is inevitable that they will be mixed with some gangsterism, and they will land majestically and at the same time, they will not forget to put a few cruel words to find a place: "Yin Feng, remember, this time it is to give your master Yi Hailan a face, the next time we meet, no matter whose face it is, I will not sell it, and even your mother will not recognize you if you don't fight, so I will not be this green dragon envoy." ”
On the other side, Yi Hailan didn't know what method to use, so she whispered a few words to Yin Feng, and Yin Feng stopped talking.
In the autumn of the 4th year of the magic calendar, the blood-stained Lion River War, the largest battle in the early stage of the War of the Gods, came to an end with three parties participating in a two-way battle.
According to incomplete statistics after the war, the campaign:
On the Imperial side, the troops participating in the battle were mainly the Fire Lion Legion
Heavy infantry 1250
Lance 9000
Light infantry 3500
Berserker 1000
Directly under the cavalry squad 600
Heavy Armor Knight 1000
Light Knight Brigade 3500
Earthwalker Squadron 500
Archer 4500
The nobility is armed with 5000
Total strength 29850
Among them, 13,823 were killed and 12,094 were wounded, of which 5,923 were discharged due to injuries. The Heavy Knights, 2 Spear Brigades, and Berserker Squadrons all suffered more than half of the casualties in the battle, and the Heavy Knights killed more than 60% of them, and no one was left unwounded.
The troops participating in the war on the fascist continent were the Western Expeditionary Corps
Werewolf troops 9000
Half-orc troops 6500
Bearman 3500
Centaur 2000
Knight 1000
Earthwalker 500
Pseudosaurus 100
Monk 300
Total strength 22,900
Among them, 12,993 were killed and 6,043 were wounded, of which 2,923 were discharged due to injuries, and the Knights of the Earth Dragon had the largest proportion of casualties, with 453 killed in battle. The 10,000-man brigade composed of half-orcs and bears became the second largest camp in the battle, and the three brigades located in the first camp of the assault really need to be described as "completely annihilated", and none of them survived -- according to post-war statistics, about 50% of the wounded soldiers were pushed and trampled to death by the soldiers who swarmed up from behind. In the other 7 brigades, the death rate was as high as 50%. Several thousand-man teams were forced to revoke. What's more, the pseudo-dragon troops that had been hidden in the early stage were heavily damaged when they were first used, and the enemy discovered the weaknesses of the pseudo-dragon troops.
The troops participating in the battle on Alcatraz Island are the forward camp commanded by the demon marshal Yi Hailan, and its establishment is unknown, with an estimated strength of about 25,000 people. Heavy losses were also reportedly suffered in the campaign, such as mosquito bites on some soldiers during the five-day incubation, and a large number of soldiers who were not adapted to the soil and water, which caused serious pollution in the Lion River basin - and that seems to be nothing more than that.
For military researchers of later generations, it is really a very troublesome thing for military researchers of later generations to discuss this war, and each researcher will have their own different understanding, and the focus is that without the intervention of Alcatraz Island, this great war will be won in the end? It is very interesting that there is no one-sided understanding of the ending. Therefore, every time the knight school does a sand table exercise, or even a simulated war, it is willing to use this evenly matched war as a simulated environment.
In addition to the quarrel, all military researchers have reached a unified understanding: in this battle, the most critical person is not Viscount Fan, nor the dragon knight, nor is it other people involved in the war. It's a brand new face - Yi Hailan.
In this battle, Yi Hailan's command level was cunning, vicious and other ordinary words that could not be described. As early as a month ago, Yi Hailan, who hurriedly rushed to the Alcatraz military camp from Alcatraz Island, took over the command of the legion on the west side of Alcatraz Island, concentrated all the demons, sheep-headed people and other jīng sharp troops of the Alcatraz army, and used the night sè to break through the defensive front of the Xiusi Empire, leaving aside several heavily defended cities, and continuously destroying the transportation and supply lines of the Xiusi Empire, and the continental highway south of the Eminole Continent completely disappeared from people's sight, and finally caused the entire defense line of the Xiusi Empire to collapse when it was unable to obtain supplies. By the time Yi Hailan's troops went north, except for a few important cities, the southern coast of the Xiusi Empire had all fallen.
Of course, if Yi Hailan's performance is limited to this, then his evaluation can only be described as a "famous general". As it turned out, this fledgling teenager was even more strategically superior to the prestigious marshals of the empires.
Yi Hailan penetrated the territory of the Xiusi Empire in 3 days, and in 2 dark nights, 20,000 soldiers quietly crossed the Lion River, and lurked for 5 days and 5 nights under the noses of the Fire Lion Army and tens of thousands of fascist troops. In the end, at the last moment when the war was fought to the point where both sides were defeated and either side was facing complete defeat, an army of 20,000 was born.
Most of the soldiers who retreated alive from the battlefield were very strange: why didn't Yi Hailan wait until the war was completely over before joining the war, no matter which side won the battle, with the combat power that Alcatraz possessed, it would definitely be easy to win.
After the war, both the imperial side and the fascist side had officers ask their commanders about this question, and there was no time to communicate, but from today's point of view, the answers given by Dahaino and Viscount Fan are surprisingly similar.
His Excellency the Viscount sighed: "Why did he win? Although they are all enemies, for any army, there is a special kind of enemy: 'Dead Land', for mortal enemies, there is no need to mobilize before the battle, all soldiers will fight bravely. There is a criterion that can be directly judged that the enemy who hits your troops with a near-destruction is a mortal enemy. Although all three of our troops are fighting, we and the army of the fascist continent are mortal enemies who must end up in death, and Yi Hailan's troops are ......"
His Excellency Dahaino inspected the wounded soldiers with pain, and discussed the same person with Merlin and Norton: "The young man who appeared at the end of the day was our worst enemy, and at that time, no matter who won in the end, as long as he dared to annihilate the side that won badly, then his army would inevitably face the endless follow-up corps of the Amy Empire alone. Now, the greatest enemy of the army of the Amy Empire is us. And this young man can take advantage of our engagement to gain even greater advantage -- to underestimate the enemy. They didn't say who it was, but the two half-orc young men knew the answer.
In fact, when Amy had just heard the news from Daqingshan and Horns, Amy actually showed a fascinated gaze: "Tsk, tsk...... Looking at the people, I can guarantee that while drinking porridge and fighting with those bulls and horses, Yi Hailan will definitely occupy all the cities along the Lion River. Those small cities that are not important have no troops, and Yinfeng went to say a few words and probably surrendered. This kind of business without capital and profits is really desirable. It's a good thing he didn't come as a mercenary, otherwise we wouldn't have to do it. "To be honest, Amy's strategic level at that time was far inferior to Yi Hailan, if the war also had a level, Yi Hailan had already swayed freely at the highest 5th level, and Amy was probably still climbing and struggling at the 1st and 2nd levels. But under the business principle of putting everything first, Amy, as a business wizard, can transcend the limits of the strategic hierarchy and break through Yi Hailan's strategic thinking in one sentence. What an unbreakable truth.
Similarly, after the battle, Yi Hailan became a hot figure, and at that time, such an evaluation had gradually circulated among the high-level generals of the three warring parties: "Excellent generals command their own armies to win, and terrible generals command the enemy's armies and win themselves." "Who this terrible general is, there is no need to discuss.
