It's easy to say, it's really hard to say it's hard!

There are only a handful of cities left in the Northern Prince, and sometimes they can even overlook the whole area of the territory when they fly into the air.

This should be the last battle for the unification of the Blue Star Empire, but thinking about what happened on the battlefield on the Eastern Front, Qin Ning didn't dare to be negligent.

The final battle, that is, the dying struggle of the other side. The other party will use all the means, no matter what the price, even if there is no hope of victory, they will fight with you to the end.

Qin Ning's observation in mid-air almost did not let go of every corner. From different angles, from high to low, the liaison configuration between various cities and the layout of urban defense can be seen clearly.

Back in the camp, Qin Ning drew a detailed military map of what he observed, and then ordered people to copy hundreds of copies of this map and distribute it to the generals of the Qin army with more than 10,000 soldiers.

Qin Ning no longer had any guiding opinions for the next battle, so he emphasized one principle - prudence, and it was necessary to reduce the sacrifice of soldiers as the first element.

We are not afraid of consuming ammunition and wasting time for a certain amount of time, that is, we need to achieve victory step by step and in a down-to-earth manner, and then stabilize the results of the victory that have been achieved, accumulate small victories into big victories, and finally achieve a comprehensive victory.

In accordance with this strategic thinking, the generals of the Qin army, according to the map of Qin Ning, first cleared the three outermost isolated cities of the Northern Prince's territory; hand, and then concentrate on advancing deep into the opponent's depth.

Under the heavy artillery bombardment regardless of the cost, the Qin army easily took the three cities on the periphery.

But the situation reported by Qin Jun attracted Qin Ning's attention.

In the captured city. Hardly any resistance from the two-legged wolves was encountered.

It's strange to say that a certain city was devastated by artillery fire. Maybe it's reasonable. But this is the case in all three cities, and it is a bit abnormal.

Think about it a little differently. It was not the first time that the Qin army had taken a destructive artillery attack, and the Northern Prince and the black-robed envoy would definitely take precautions against such an attack. Under such a premise, the preservation of the two-legged wolves in the city can cause trouble for the Qin army.

Taking a step back, even if the two-legged wolf in the attacked city was not protected by defense, it would not have suffered such a great loss in the artillery fire. The number of two-legged wolves killed in the three captured cities is less than 1,000, and according to the minimum number of 100,000 in each city, the difference in number is simply worlds apart!

Qin Ning hurriedly ordered the Qin army to capture the city. Don't take any further action, be sure to search every inch of the city to see if there are any abnormalities.

Near dusk, the report came up, and there was nothing out of the ordinary!

Qin Ning faintly felt that it was inappropriate in his heart, but the soldiers below would not joke with the military order. After thinking about it for a while, Qin Ning decided to go and see it for himself tomorrow.

Who knows, in the middle of the night, Qin Ning heard a very noisy sound coming from the direction of the three cities he had just captured.

Right away. The intelligence report is coming.

In the city that has just been captured, a large number of two-legged wolves have emerged from nowhere. The Qin army rushed to meet the enemy and suffered heavy losses, and the generals at the front are currently organizing the orderly withdrawal of the army to occupy the city.

Qin Ning was shocked. Hurry to one of these cities. By the time Qin Ning arrived, a small part of the Qin army had already withdrawn. Qin Ning let the retreating soldiers retreat to the base camp, and he himself rushed into the city.

The fighting in the city was fierce. The Qin army, who was in charge of the palace, was mixed with countless two-legged wolves, engaged in life-and-death close combat.

Viper Directed. Hand cannons, rainstorm pear flower shells. Sniper shells are no longer useful in such close combat, and the soldiers of the Qin army can only use the most primitive swords to compete with the two-legged wolf.

Qin Ning was so anxious that he flew to the place where the battle was at its worst. Since the enemy and I were already in a mess, Qin Ning couldn't even use the Psychic Sword.

The sacrifices of the Qin soldiers were very large, and there was an unrecognizable corpse almost every step or two. Because the two-legged wolf was not hit by the fire ordnance, the destroyed two-legged wolf was usually broken to pieces before hanging up.

As a rough estimate, in such an encounter, the ratio of battle losses between the Qin army soldiers and two-legged wolves was an astonishing ten to one.

Qin Ning's eyes were red, and he ran to the melee battle, and a pair of iron fists smashed the heads of the two-legged wolves one by one. The heads of the two-legged wolves flew into the sky in an instant, and their bodies stopped.

In this way, the Qin soldiers in the melee were liberated and formed an orderly collective.

"Immediately look for the Viper Guide and sniper bullets, and the rest of the firepower and ordnance are gone!" Qin Ning ordered sharply.

The soldiers of the Qin army had lost their minds in the melee, and it was not until Qin Ning came to relieve the siege and gave an order that they came to their senses. The soldiers searched for Qin Ning's confessional weapons one after another, and formed a temporary tactical team.

Qin Ning led this tactical team, specifically to kill in the fierce battle, Qin Ning shouted in front to move closer to me, and the tactical team in the back used the poisonous snake in his hand to guide the two wolves that were entangled with the Qin army.

With such a little convergence, Qin Ning's side gathered the soldiers of the Qin army who stepped forward. With the increase in numbers and the deepening of the battle, the tactics of the tactical team led by Qin Ning to rescue Pao Ze became more and more skillful, and the results became more and more obvious.

Gradually, the soldiers around Qin Ning reached the size of 10,000!

However, just when Qin Ning turned the situation around and wanted to eliminate the opponent, the two-legged wolf actually retreated like a tide, Qin Ning led people to search little by little, and an astonishing number of two-legged wolves disappeared out of thin air, and no trace could be found anymore.

Qin Ning ordered all the warriors to withdraw and occupy the city, and ordered a scout team composed of strong warriors to enter the city to reconnoitre, and be sure to find out where so many two-legged wolves came from.

After settling in this city, Qin Ning flew to the other two cities.

It was almost identical, and the battle situation in the other two cities was equally tragic, if Qin Ning hadn't arrived in time to rescue, I really didn't know how many soldiers' lives would have been lost.

At dawn, the results of the battle damage came out.

A total of more than 80,000 Qin soldiers were sacrificed in the three cities, one main general was seriously wounded, six deputy generals were killed in battle, and countless losses of materials and ordnance were lost.

Qin Ning thought that the enemy would go crazy, and also thought that the army should be careful with 10,000, but there were still such heavy casualties!

In any case, such a battle situation was unacceptable to Qin Ning.

Qin Ning's general order criticized the generals stationed in the three cities, and the ideological paralysis and carelessness were the direct cause of such heavy losses as the guide. To put it bluntly, the Lord will bear most of the responsibility.

Through this lesson, Qin Ning warned everyone that even if they occupied the city, they should adopt a posture of complete defense in the field, and if the Qin army was concentrated and stationed outside the garrison camp with trenches and obstacles, they would have time to deal with the large-scale attack of the two-legged wolf army.

As a result, Qin Ning also specially set up a map of the garrison fortifications to capture the city in the future. It is necessary to take precautions according to the criteria that the enemy may appear on a large scale at any time.

As soon as he finished dealing with the matter at hand, Qin Ning received a report from the Strong Warrior Scout Squad.

In the captured city, a large number of tunnels were discovered. The entrances and exits of these tunnels are hidden under the water tank, under the stove, and even under the kang in the house.

Because these places were not areas of strategic and tactical focus in the conventional sense, they were ignored by the Qin troops who attacked and entered the city.

The two-legged wolves that poured out in the middle of the night should have come out of these tunnels to carry out a sneak attack on the Qin army.

When Qin Ning heard this, he frowned unconsciously: "Do you know the scale of these tunnels, and where do they lead?"

The scout replied, "General Qin, the brothers went down to reconnoiter along the entrance of the tunnel, but found that the tunnels below were open in all directions, and the farthest thirty miles out did not reach the end. Considering that General Qin is still waiting to report, I will summarize these situations for the time being and report to you first. ”

Qin Ning suddenly understood, the Northern Prince played an underground war with him!

Perhaps he adopted this method of warfare on the side of the Eastern Prince, and inspired the Northern Prince, so he adopted the strategic method of digging tunnels through guò and expanding his strategic space.

Not to mention, Qin Ning really had a bit of a headache for the Northern Prince's tunnel war.

On the ground, the heavy artillery and other heavy firepower equipment of the Qin army can play an amazing role in assisting the ground forces. And once it encounters such tactics as digging tunnels, heavy artillery, large flying machines, and even firepower ordnance such as hand cannons are basically scrapped.

If the other party digs the tunnel a little longer and more complicated, and hides a huge number of two-legged wolves in it, it will really be enough for the Qin army.

It's like fighting a mouse, on the ground, chasing and blocking it for a few strokes and then killing it. But when you go underground, you have to dig holes one by one, whether you are maneuvering or fighting, it is completely according to the intentions of the other side.

A tunnel more than ten miles long will be swept with 10,000 people. If the other party dug a sufficient number of tunnels, just dispersing the troops would be enough for Qin Ning.

Moreover, unlike aboveground, there can still be reliable communication on the ground, but when communication is not smooth underground, unknown problems will arise in the communication and echo between them, and the intention of joint operations will also be greatly reduced.

......

After some consideration, Qin Ning decided that he still had to investigate the situation before making plans.

In view of the complex structure of the tunnel and its great depth, Qin Ning sent a large number of scout teams into the tunnel to investigate.

For the sake of safety, Qin Ning set each scout team at twenty people, equipped with two poisonous snake guide shooters, four scouts who used alchemy devices to find two-legged wolves from a distance, and fourteen strong warriors.

In this way, a squad can escape in the event of an unexpected situation.

Qin Ning emphasized safety again and again, and warned the captain of the scout team to take the lives of the soldiers as the first priority, and withdraw immediately when he found an abnormal situation.

According to this standard system, Qin Ning sent sixty scout teams to enter the tunnels from different tunnel entrances in the three cities to conduct reconnaissance. (To be continued......) R1292
