Fourth, the battle for hegemony in Chishui Bay Chapter 138 Wanghai Cliff
Thanks to the "Shadow Hurricane" Black Thorn Ray, half of Fort Heather's dirt city has been blown apart. Faced with the place that should be renamed "Heather Ruins", it is difficult for Lydia to assess whether they are "holding" the heather.
Danica stood silently by the bombed-out wall, which she had built with Fili, as if the two of them were the crystallization of their affection. Looking at the ruins all over the ground now, the pain in her heart is indescribable, as shattered as the blasted city wall.
With rustling footsteps, Filiqiang smiled and walked towards her, "Don't be sad, Danica, we'll rebuild this place just as we built it in the first place." ”
Fili's comfort was filled with warmth, which calmed Danica's mood gradually. She looked up at his face with a hint of gratitude.
"But now, it's no longer suitable for stationing." She sighed slightly.
She was right.
The original towering walls were only a few half-man-tall debris, littered with shards of earth and wood, destroyed houses, cracked walls, and not even a single intact roof remained. In such an environment, not to mention resisting the attacks of Chishui Bay and Wanghai Cliff, it is quite difficult to survive.
"Warriors, why don't you return to the oasis for now." Nick suggested earnestly.
In the days of fighting side by side with the Red Pavilion, he seems to have regained his glory and responsibility as a general.
Lydia glanced at the non-smiling beside her, "The oasis is good, it's just ......"
He didn't smile and said, "There can't be an army of tens of thousands of people there." ”
Lydia chimed in, "Yes, and it's Glenn's territory, and we're not robbers, so we're not interested in other people's territory. ”
Nick was surprised, "So what are you interested in?" ”
Lydia said, "Chishui Bay." And now there is a big threat to Chishuiwan, and we must take it back as soon as possible. ”
Nick asked, "What threat?" ”
Lydia said, "We just learned about the secret plan of the demons: they want to transport the 'secret weapon' to the 'Crown Tomb' through Chishui Bay. It is said that if that weapon is in place, I am afraid that the six kingdoms will not be able to compete with them. ”
Nick was shocked: "And such a terrible conspiracy? ”
Lydia glanced at it quietly without smiling, "It's a pity that someone built Chishui Bay is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but I'm afraid that our troops will not be able to take it down in the short term." ”
Nick pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Do they have a garrison at 'Wanghai Cliff'?" ”
Lydia blinked, "yes, how do you know?" ”
Nick smiled slightly, "Since they want to use 'Chishui Bay', it means that they are going to take the waterway. The closest route from the Demon World to Chishui Bay is to take the 'Wanghai Cliff'. The place was shallow, steep, and full of reefs, and the fleet was easily ambushed. ”
As he spoke, he picked up a branch and drew a brief topographical map on the ground, "If we build the 'Wanghai Cliff', we will cut off the waterway from here." Their fleet would only have to go around the 'Shenlong Island', and the fastest ships would have to travel for a month during this voyage, so that they could buy a lot of time. ”
In war, a few minutes can often mean the difference between victory and defeat. If you can delay the enemy for a month, it is a very clever strategy.
"This plan is very good......" Lydia just wanted to nod, but when she caught a glimpse of Buxiao, she secretly shook her finger, and quickly changed her words, "It's just that Wanghai Cliff is not so easy to fight." ”
As he spoke, Buxiao had already handed over a piece of parchment. Not only did this guy think of cutting off the channel a long time ago, but he also sent someone to investigate and draw a topographic map.
The map clearly marks that three lines of defense have been built on the Wanghai Cliff, and there are many arrow towers, and there are almost no dead ends covered by firepower. With such a defensive posture, even Lydia didn't dare to easily say "It's over", and then rushed forward to die.
Nick looked at it carefully, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This pirate really has two hits, but it's a pity that a pirate is a pirate after all, and it still leaves a big loophole." ”
This pretending to be forced looked like she was not smiling, and Lydia suddenly felt a little depressed between the two, "Did General Nick see any flaws?" ”
Nick said: "If there is no error in the number of towers marked on this map, then the biggest hole in this defensive formation is the number of people. ”
Number?
Lydia was mentally calculating the total number of defensive units, and Nick had already announced the answer: "The defensive garrison is not the total number of troops, not only the rotation should be considered, but also the number of troops used in various attrition and sorties and harassment. Now this defensive formation is too full, and if there is an unexpected loss, it will disrupt his position. ”
"So......" Lydia suddenly understood, "we just need to find a way to make the 'accidental loss' on the Wanghai Cliff now?" ”
Nick said, "Not bad. Although there is a cliff behind the Wanghai Cliff, there is a trail to climb. I took people down in a small boat and killed them while it was dark, and gave them some color. ”
Buxiao suddenly spoke: "How did you come down?" ”
Nick said: "Kill from the cliff, take advantage of the chaos to kill down the hillside." ”
Not laughing, "It's too dangerous." ”
Nick laughed: "Fighting against the demons, my Wild Sand Samurai is still afraid of death?" ”
Lydia was stunned.
Nick patted his chest, "We are also bloody warriors, if it weren't for the intervention of the nobles in the palace, how could we let the demons fight so humiliatingly?" You dare to fight the demons, don't we dare? ”
Without smiling at him, for a long time, he said, "Death, it's easy." It's not worth dying at Wanghai Cliff. ”
Nick froze.
Bu smiled and turned his head to look at the soldiers lined up outside, "There are five hundred soldiers in the wild sand, you take them to the oasis to protect Glen and Axey." ”
"What about the sea cliff?" Nick asked.
He took out a soul stone and threw it to Nick: "I will send someone to you in ten days to take down the Wanghai Cliff." ”
.
Seeing Nick go out in disbelief, Lydia couldn't help but ask, "So what do we do?" ”
He didn't smile and said, "Withdraw to Bitterwater Town and attack the Crown Mausoleum in a week." ”
Lydia was puzzled, "I thought our purpose was Chishui Bay. ”
Buxiao explained: "Without Heather Fort, Chishui Bay is very difficult to fight. The best defense is to destroy the enemy. ”
Lydia frowned and thought for a long time: "What do you mean to say: if the crown mausoleum is laid, Chishuiwan will have no meaning to the demons, and they will withdraw from Chishuiwan." That's when it's easy to take back, right? ”
Nodding without a smile.
Lydia asked, "What are your plans for this week?" ”
Don't smile and shake your head.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Lydia's face: "Since I don't have any plans, then I should be fine if I do something else, right?"
Now it's not the turn to laugh and wonder.
Lydia immediately gave the order for the soldiers to collect a large number of straw poles. It's not often seen in the desert, and this strange command is inexplicable to many.
Fili and the young men came to her and asked, "What's the use of collecting these things, to feed the alpacas?" ”
Lydia replied, "I'm going to turn this place back into a prairie." ”
This kind of ridiculous remark can only be regarded as a joke that is not very funny to the likes of Fili and Danica. Danica even bluntly said: "The desert is the territory of the god of death 'Bila', how can it be returned to humans." ”
It's just that because of the reputation of the "Princess of Fire", they can only slander in private.
Only the young man knew that Lydia was serious.
The last time she spoke like that, it was when the town of Manniu was being opened. On that occasion, they cultivated enough farmland to feed 50,000 people.
