Chapter 383: Comparison of Friend and Foe

Wang Yong said with a surprised face: "Damn, it seems that it hasn't been long since you were promoted last time, right? Why are you going to be promoted again? Tell me, how did you get it? Introduce your experience." Speaking of this, Wang Yong found that the faces of Nuosen and Sarah were covered with redness, and Nuosen was even more hesitant for a long time, and he didn't say why.

Look at Sarah blushing and bowing her head, but her little hands are tightly clasped with Nothan's fingers, and she is still holding Nothan's arm and leaning against him, not caring at all that her towering chest is in contact with Nosen's arm.

Wang Yong looked at Nuo Sen with a mouse's eyebrows, and then looked at Sarah, thought for a while, and then said with a lewd smile: "Hehe, Nuo Son, let's talk alone for a while." Seeing Wang Yong's lewd smile, Sarah's head hung lower, and she whispered to Nuosen, "Don't say it." ”

Seeing that Sarah was already too ashamed, Amy pinched Wang Yong in disgust. Wang Yong shrugged, then changed the subject and said: "If Nuo Sen you are promoted to a high-level warrior, then you will be the number one master in our territory, and if Lane extorts your dowry again, you can beat him, hehe!"

Before Nosen could say anything, he heard someone at the door, "Who's going to beat me?

The person who came was the Captain of the Lane Army, and he was followed by Mu Sen and the three veteran generals of Todd, Tim, and Thomas, as for Kevin and Cara, a group of unknown second goods, who were still shouting outside the door: "Uncle Lane, who is going to beat you, are you impatient?"

Seeing that Ryan was coming, Northen hurriedly got up and saluted, and said respectfully, "Uncle Ryan." ”

Sarah also stood up, first glared fiercely at Wang Yong, who was gloating on the side, and then ran into Ryan's arms and said, "Father, don't listen to Ivana's nonsense, Nuosen won't be disrespectful to you." ”

At this time, Amy saw that there was another guest. Luo Luo generously got up to greet him and let everyone into the living room.

Everyone sat down, and before they could ask Nossen why he was about to advance again, Iron Mask, Morningstar, and Chris also arrived.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of Northen and Sarah, Wang Yong hurriedly pressed his hand to silence the group, and then unfolded the map and motioned to Morningstar to explain her findings to everyone.

Morningstar's personality is quite cheerful, and after nodding slightly to everyone, he pointed to some markers on the map and said, "Through these high-altitude reconnaissance, I found that the army of the Eternal Empire is slowly gathering towards the border of the Elder Empire. But the size of the army was not very large, and the three staging sites I found combined were less than 100,000 men. The three assembly locations are: the Shenlong Mountain Range and the pass of our coastal province, with about 20,000 people. At the end of the Shenlong Mountains in the province of West Asia, not far from the southern border of our coastal province, there are almost 50,000 people gathered there. The other is on the southern border of the province of West Asia, with about 30,000 people. At their current rate, it won't take more than a month to reach the border. As far afield, we've already sent someone to investigate, but there's no news yet. That's all I know. Morningstar finished. He nodded to everyone and returned to his seat.

After listening to Morning Star's introduction, everyone was silent, because the invasion of the Eternal Empire was much earlier than they expected, which was very bad for the seaside. Because the coastal province is not ready for war, although the armament, food and grass, logistics and other aspects have been prepared, but the time is too little, and now it cannot meet the needs of the entire province.

Long. Wang Yong said in a deep voice: "Report on the establishment and stationing of our troops, as well as the individual configuration of soldiers. ”

Ryan and Mu Sen glanced at each other, then Ryan got up and said, "We now have a total of fourteen legions of five thousand people. There are more than 70,000 people in total. ”

Hearing this number, everyone's expressions softened a lot, but what Ryan said next made everyone frown.

Ryan said with a heavy expression: "Among them, there are four heavy infantry regiments, 20,000 people, but most of the soldiers are still wearing cloth clothes or leather armor, and there are less than 3,000 people equipped with metal plate armor. There are four corps of light infantry, 20,000 people, and their equipment is quite complete, but they are all captured or scraped leather armor, which is disorganized, and the weapons are also varied, and it is difficult to exert combat effectiveness in large-scale battles. There are also two legions of light cavalry and two legions of heavy cavalry, but because of the serious shortage of equipment and horses, they are not really cavalry now. The remaining two are archers, whose bows are of different lengths, ranges, and are still being trained. These regiments are all stationed along the border, but most of them are still in the training period of recruits, and they have little combat effectiveness. ”

Wang Yong frowned and asked, "How many soldiers are equipped and have combat effectiveness now?"

Ryan thought for a moment and said, "If all the equipment recently made is distributed, we can gather 20,000 people." It is possible to reorganize one regiment of heavy infantry, one regiment of mixed light and heavy cavalry, and two regiments of light infantry. Wang Yong nodded, motioned for Ryan to take a seat, turned his head to look at the map, and was silent for a long time.

Although it is not yet known whether the focus of the Eternal Empire's attack is the Seaside Province, even if the Seaside Province is not the focus of the attack for the time being, the strength of the two sides is too different. The Eternal Empire has at least 70,000 regular troops capable of attacking the Coastal Province, but on its own side, there are only 20,000 recruits. Although Wang Yong was very confident in the equipment of his 20,000 soldiers, he was too inferior to the enemy in other aspects, and his morale, mental quality, experience and force were inferior to the enemy, which made Wang Yong worried.

In a depressing atmosphere, Niu Da opened his mouth and said, "Boss, we minotaurs can fight without wearing armor. ”

Wang Yong's heart was warm, but he still said coldly: "You minotaurs are invulnerable? You sit down for me, now is not the time to die." ”

Wang Yong turned his head to look at Chris and asked expectantly, "What do you suggest?"

Chris has been living with his family these days, although he is not very free, but he is also very grateful to Wang Yong, and now seeing Wang Yong asking for his opinion, Chris is not hypocritical, got up and walked to the map, pointed and said: "Our intelligence is still too little, only limited to the vicinity of our coastal province, which is too bad for the whole war." I suggest that we use the teleportation array to send one or several thousand-strong troops to the territory of the Eternal Empire, disguised as bandits to attack their logistics lines and some other small forces, so that not only can our soldiers be trained, but also disrupt the enemy's deployment and buy us some time. As for how much time we can buy, it will depend on how much damage we can inflict on the enemy. In addition, we must also increase the collection of intelligence at the same time, at least to understand the movements near the borders of the entire El Empire, as well as the deployment of troops of the El Empire, so that we can more accurately analyze the focus of the Eternal Empire's attack. ”

Speaking of this, Christ paused, then pointed to the map and said, "As for the defense of the province, I think that before the completion of the coastal city and other acropolis, the terrain of the coastal province can be said to have no defensive barriers. ”

Chris glanced at everyone, and then continued: "However, if we can take the lead in occupying the pass east of the province and above the Shenlong Mountain Range at the moment before the outbreak of war, and hold out, and then gather all our soldiers to rush to the southern border to garrison, then we still have the strength to fight." Of course, this is all based on the premise that no other troops from the Eternal Empire will come. After saying his suggestion, Chris nodded slightly to the crowd and returned to his seat.

Wang Yong sneaked a glance at Ryan and the others, and seeing that they all nodded in agreement with Chris's proposal, Wang Yong no longer had any doubts.

In fact, Wang Yong's thoughts are similar to Chris's, and he has long wanted to snatch back the pass on Shenlong Mountain, but he has been in Taoguang before, and he is not absolutely sure when it is time to do it.

Now that it has reached an emergency point, it has no choice but to give it a go, otherwise if it is attacked from both sides of the Eternal Empire, the strength of a coastal province will really be difficult to resist.

With a decision, Wang Yong stood up and said solemnly: "Order." ”

When everyone present heard this, they all stood upright, waiting for Wang Yong's order with a serious expression.

Chris was surprised when he saw this scene, he didn't expect these so-called military bigwigs, who are usually hanging, to be so serious.

Wang Yong glanced at everyone and said without a wave: "Iron Mask, first notify all the high-end forces outside to return, and then lead the members of the Black Hand to collect all military intelligence, including the El Empire, and send people to infiltrate the Shenlong Mountain Pass to spy on the deployment of the defenders and defense facilities inside." ”

Iron Mask struck his right hand on the heart and said, "Yes!" Then he asked, "What about those spies who are mixed up in the territory? ”

Wang Yong squinted his eyes and said, "We can't take care of too much now, and we will ask Captain Lane to send someone to cooperate with you, secretly arrest all these people, and then send them to the island to be tortured by Hank." ”

Iron Mask replied loudly, "Yes!"

Wang Yong looked at Ryan and said, "Send two teams of 1,000 people, carrying enough teleportation arrays, to raid the various supply and logistics bases of the Eternal Empire in the name of Ou Nuo and cause them the greatest damage. All the captured materials can be brought back, and those that can't be brought back will be set on fire, and they must not be left to the Eternal Empire. ”

Ryan replied loudly, "Yes!"

Ryan looked at Wang Yong and said, "If it's in the name of Ou Nuo, I need the cooperation of at least two half-elf shadow guards, so I don't need them to charge, as long as they can show their faces in front of the enemy." (To be continued......)
