Raul's troops, the magicians were able to form a systematic formation, with a full fifty magicians, divided into five common magic departments.

Magic is generally divided into five systems, gold magic, wood magic, water magic, fire magic, and earth magic. And there are many rare branches of these magics.

Raul's gold-based magicians are led by a high-ranking magician named Ledger. And the leader of the water magician is a beautiful high-level magician, and this magician belongs to a special magic-ice system. Although it is an ice system, it is just a variant of the water system, so she was appointed as the leader of the water system. This glamorous ice high-level magician is named Tracey. People under Raul's system know that Tris has a leg with him.

Raul's wooden magician formation, led by Luther the butler. After Luther knew about the crisis Raul was facing, he finally confessed to Raul that he was actually a junior magician, and Raul was relieved to hand over the wooden magician in his hand to Luther to lead.

As for the fire magic, it is led by a high-ranking fire magician named Saren. This magician was dug by Raul from a neighboring country at a high price, and he is still not very proficient in the language of the Volga Kingdom.

As for the captain of the earth magician formation, it is naturally Raul himself, who is a high-level earth magician. It's just that Raul is generally in control of the overall situation as the eldest prince, so first of all, the affairs of the earth magicians are handled by the intermediate earth magicians under Raul. And this Derian has also been a little unhappy lately. He personally took someone to the mine to check on Huey's situation, but when he returned, he told Raul that nothing had happened, which couldn't help but make Raul's trust in him greatly diminish.

Of course, Raul is not clear about the origin of the troops marching into Chel, nor is it clear about Huey's current situation. So on the one hand, he intends to suppress the situation, and on the other hand, he also nips the problem in the bud as much as possible.

Of course, in fact, there was a problem in the mine, and it stands to reason that Pete was the first to be suspected, but in fact, Pete, a little person who can't do magic, has already faded out of Raul's sight, and he didn't even think about it at the first time.

Raul's party is more than fifty magicians, one junior magician. Coupled with the fact that about 5,000 soldiers were contained in various places, they marched in the direction of Chel Town. Fifty magicians doesn't sound like much, but on this continent, those who can do magic are absolute nobles. This time, it is equivalent to fifty small nobles, and they went out at the same time with their personal guards, and put them in some remote and small countries, this scale can already be called a war.

Of course, under the rule of the Magic Kingdom of the Holy Volga, which is currently the most powerful in the entire continent, Hussein Province is nothing more than a small, remote province with little magic power. The dozens of magicians here will certainly not be looked upon by the people of the Volga River valley near the royal capital Jiamusi in the north of the kingdom.

But this does not mean that Lin Qiang and others, who escaped from the royal capital, will not attract enough attention. This is the first time to face a truly formed army in this world, even if the information is smooth, even if every move now, Han Xu and Duan Lingzi have already explored eight or nine, but the People's Salvation Army still gives enough tension.

After deliberation by the Military Council, the first decision was that the third regiment of the People's Salvation Army, Yan Xiaohuan Regiment, which was trained in the tribe, marched to the mine day and night, as a reserve, ready to support Chel Town at any time.

And Tsuneishi of the Second Regiment of the People's Salvation Army has undergone large-scale live-fire training, plus most of the middle-level leading cadres of the Second Regiment, as well as lower-level officers, have followed Tsuneishi to suppress the robbers on the plains, and they have some combat experience. Therefore, he sent Tsuneishi to lead the second regiment of the People's Salvation Army, at least to ensure that one regiment was neatly equipped with flintlock rifled guns, and then rushed to the front line of Chel Town to join the first regiment of the People's Salvation Army.

These measures have all been discussed by the Military Commission. Although Zhang Feng and others did not participate in the Military Commission, Yan Xiaohuan still brought their opinions. In this war, the Moeye tribe will show all-round support for the People's Salvation Army. When necessary, the ink-eyed people can go out of the nest.

However, considering that most of the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the valley were disabled, Lin Qiang still categorically refused. Even if he has never joined the army, he has not read many military books, but he also knows that the matter of the army fighting is not a number game, not that whoever has more people will definitely be able to win if they are all pressed. Training, concentration, athletic warfare, including reserves, etc., are all indispensable.

It's just that in this battle, not only Lin Qiang didn't think of it, but others also couldn't think of it. Some people have exposed his strong strategic talent, and some people have shown strong tactical talent.

On the second day after the meeting between Tsuneishi's 2nd Regiment and Howl's 1st Regiment, intelligence officers sent news that Raul's troops were now only a week's way away from the mines, and that during this week's journey, almost all of them were vast plains, and there was no danger to defend at all.

But in this way, Lin Qiang still gave a suggestion to the front line, that is, it is not advisable to hold on to death, and you should let your troops move and look for opportunities in the move.

Lin Qiang was able to have such an idea, which completely came from his admiration for a great man in history before the time crossing, that great man used strategic transfer, large tactical encirclement and intersperse, guerrilla and other means to defeat the enemy who was several times and dozens of times his own, and finally established a prosperous and powerful country.

Lin Qiang thought that he didn't have that ability, but the times made heroes. As he once learned during his school career, it is not that heroes make history, but that history makes heroes. He couldn't, but he'd seen someone do that, so he wanted to try.

Of course, other members of the Military Commission, such as Han Xu and Duan Lingzi, who are engaged in intelligence work, have conservative opposition to Lin Qiang's decision. Including the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Scientific Research, they also hold opposite views to Lin Qiang.

The opposition is not the same. Han Xu and Duan Lingzi are for field combat capabilities, the People's Salvation Army has not been able to be verified, the plain is not dangerous to defend, and there is no terrain advantage. In addition, they have not dealt with the magic forces of this world relatively fairly, so they don't know much about the magic of this world.

Intelligence requires that one must be thoughtful and must think of the worst-case scenario. There is nothing wrong with opposing views.

The reason why Robin, the minister of the Ministry of Construction, opposed it was because the Ministry of Construction spent a lot of energy on the periphery of Chel, according to the modern military thinking of Lin Qiang, Tsuneishi and others in the military department, to build a winding trench, and also set up an air-raid shelter to defend against attacks from the air. If you abandon the trenches and go directly to the plains to fight, it feels a bit useless.

What Liang Shuopeng said made people feel even more shaken. That is, Liang Shuopeng said that after working overtime this month, he has been able to mass-produce semi-automatic rifles. If the town of Chell can hold on for half a month, at least the arsenal can produce equipment for 1,500 to 2,000 people, and these equipment are semi-automatic rifles, which can raise the combat effectiveness of the troops to a higher level.

But after Lin Qiang considered it, he dismissed their ideas one by one. First of all, all the previous battles, regardless of whether there were many people or few people. Those of them who don't know magic, borrowing modern firearms, can instantly kill weak magicians in an instant, which is unexpected. You don't take the initiative to attack, wait for others to put on a posture and test your reality clearly. At that time, if the magician really has an overwhelming advantage over ordinary people, to put it mildly, they will be blocked in the mountainous area of Qingling, and they will not be able to run if they want to.

Another is that the trenches are definitely not useless. Trenches play an irreplaceable role in delaying a large-scale enemy with a small force.

But before Lin Qiang crossed, he understood a truth by watching various works, the matter of defending the city must not be defended. was surrounded, guarded to the end, and without foreign help, it was just a death.

Intelligence shows that Raul brought five thousand people with him this time. All the strength of the National Salvation Army is combined, and the total is only 3,000. These 3,000 people were all ordinary coolies, ordinary peasants, who had not received any military training for a long time.

These coolies and peasants, even if their endurance is slightly stronger because of their long work. But their physique is definitely not able to catch up with the carefully selected provincial city guards, and they definitely can't keep up with the local security regiment soldiers who can at least ensure that they are tall and strong.

All they have now is discipline that has been built up in a few months, unity, faith to free the people from oppression, and weapons that transcend the ages.

But with these things, can they hold on for a day, for a month? If there is no hope of victory, will they collapse?

Then, before this kind of thing happens, we must at least try to find out what kind of enemy the People's Salvation Army is facing. Be the first to strike, at least they have a choice, not a passive acceptance.

The Military Commission, under Lin Qiang's bitter words, finally gave Tsuneishi and Hal of Chel Town an order to support Lin Qiang's decision, that is, they could wait for an opportunity to attack and probe the enemy's reality.

Tsuneishi and Hal also felt that Lin Qiang, or the advice given by the Military Commission, was very good. They lead the troops and understand the thoughts of the low-level soldiers better than the decision-making level of the military commission. Although the two regiments combined can only make up 200 semi-automatic rifles, and the rest are old-fashioned flintlock rifled rifles, the soldiers are still eager to try, as front-line generals, they don't have to think more about numbers, weapons and equipment, enemy and enemy posture, etc., what they pay most attention to is the military spirit of the troops.

Finally, under the overnight negotiation of Tsuneishi Hahar, the two were ready to learn from their previous successful experience, that is, to make a simple ambush plan.
