Chapter 643: Military Discussion

In the early morning of July 31, 443 Ayrric, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, Newman's main army, after resting for the night, set out with the little food left, leaving the southeast Acropolis of the seashore and heading straight for Shenlong Pass, which was more than 100 miles to the northeast. According to Newman's plan last night, the 50,000-strong troops insisted on a rapid march for a day and a night, and strived to reach the vicinity of Shenlong Pass before dawn tomorrow, and then make a decision according to the specific situation there.

The airhorse scouts of the Seaside Province took turns following Newman's force at high altitude, and when they reported the enemy's movements back to the general headquarters, Chris and Iron Mask immediately analyzed and deduced, and finally came to the correct conclusion that the enemy was planning to storm the Shenlong Pass. After coming to this conclusion, which surprised Chris a little and was reasonable based on the current situation of the enemy army, Chris contacted the lord Wang Yong and convened another meeting of the military headquarters.

The meeting was held in the City Lord's Mansion, where Wang Yong was located, where there were only basic buildings, and all the legion commanders and chief of staff, as well as non-idle personnel such as Kra and Nossen, who were in the army but did not have formal military positions, attended the meeting, and even Amy, the head of the magic group, also brought a group of magicians to attend the meeting.

Here I want to say that since Amy consolidated the realm, Regan, Shirley and other magicians have been complaining every day, during the day they have their own jobs, Amy will not bother them, but at night, the conscientious and responsible Amy will gather everyone to go to the forest cave for magic and cooperation training as the head of the magician, until everyone's magic power is exhausted.

Regan, Rook, Quentin and Maureen are better, they can find a quiet room to rest after training every day, and they will resume their previous vitality the next morning, while Butler Howl, Shirley and others will not be able to, every night they will drag their tired bodies and staggering home, and they will fall into bed without worrying about washing, and wake up the next morning and start busy work. It made them physically and mentally exhausted, but they couldn't do anything about it, because Amy, the head of the regiment, had been chosen by themselves.

However, after a few days of training, everyone's magic level has improved significantly, and there is also a certain tacit understanding in terms of cooperation, whether it is long-range magic support in training or covering devastating blows, there will be no more swarm shots like the last Shenlong Pass, resulting in repeated blows and wasting precious magic power in vain.

Originally, Amy had planned to train for more variety. For example, magic interception, magic defense, and aerial magic bombardment and magic confrontation against enemy mages, but considering everyone's hard work, Amy still gave up this idea for the time being, and planned to organize and refine these ideas again to train those future full-time war mages. Amy's decision made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, especially Quentin, who had been driven apart by Emize, with a face full of relief.

This military meeting was mainly aimed at a series of preparations and movements for the enemy's troops to go to Shenlong Pass. The enemy's movements have deviated from the previous prediction of the seashore, and Chris's previous plan was to use the seaside city and the East Acropolis as a defensive front to block the enemy army under the city, but now the enemy's target has become Shenlong Pass. Therefore, the previous deployment and focus of troops will be changed to the two areas of Shenlong Pass and East Acropolis.

After more than two hours of analysis and discussion, Wang Yong finally decided that the four wings of heavy Minotaur infantry left behind on the border would immediately return to Shenlong Pass through the teleportation array, and the First Reserve Infantry Corps and the First Archery Regiment of the Asphalt Hu Base would be transferred from Haibin City to Shenlong Pass to support. In addition, 5,000 heavily armed cavalry of the Lane Front entered the Eastern Acropolis to strengthen the defenders' mobility and ability to attack fortifications.

And also. Wang Yong ordered Hank to lead his 1st Naval Legion to march inland from the coastline and establish a defensive line 50 miles from Shenlong Pass, so as to prevent the enemy from jumping over the wall and rushing into the northern part of the sea, while the 2nd Reserve Infantry Regiment of Seaside City would go to join Hank to assist in the defense. In the end, Lane's cavalry left 5,000 cavalry to defend the border, and the remaining 10,000 cavalry immediately set out, following the enemy and waiting for an opportunity to attack it.

On the map, if the deployment is completed according to the plan, the enemy army will be surrounded under the Shenlong Pass, blocked by the dangerous Shenlong Pass and the East Acropolis in the east and west, Hank's 10,000 infantry in the north, and Ryan's 10,000 cavalry in the south, and the 50,000 soldiers of the main army of the Eternal Empire will be besieged by the 50,000 troops on the seashore.

Although the two sides are equal in number and the forces of the coastal side are scattered, if the Eternal Empire side rushes a little with superior forces, it seems that the coastal side is powerless to stop it, but if you think about it carefully, you will understand that as long as this siege is successful, if the enemy gives up attacking the Shenlong Pass, then they still have three options, that is, to the south, to the north or to the west.

Needless to say to the west, although the East Acropolis is not as dangerous as the Shenlong Pass, it is not so easy for the enemy army to capture this city with a twenty-meter-high wall, and the enemy army will naturally not choose to attack the fortification when the supplies are insufficient.

Removing the East Acropolis, the enemy is left with only two directions, south and north, although each of these two directions has only 10,000 troops, but if the enemy turns to the south, the cavalry on the Lane side will not stop them, and let them return to the empty and desolate south, in the absence of logistical supplies, the enemy will do this pointlessly, and will wait for death while consuming more supplies. Therefore, if the enemy army gives up attacking the Shenlong Pass, then they can only go to the north.

To the north, there are Hank's 5,000 ashore navy and 5,000 archers, and they still haven't seen bloody recruits, on the surface, Hank's side can't resist the onslaught of the enemy's 50,000 regular army at all, but if the enemy really dares to break north, then they will definitely die faster.

Because as long as the enemy dares to flee to the north, then the Shenlong Pass and the East Acropolis will send troops to flank the left and right, and the 10,000 cavalry in the south will also make a detour to the north to intercept, at that time, the enemy will face a three-sided attack on the seashore, and while losing the numerical advantage, the enemy army is far inferior to the enemy army on the seashore in terms of equipment, strong troops and soldier quality.

The enemy broke through to the north, although it could solve the enemy army faster, but Wang Yong and others did not want this, because then the loss of the seashore would be very large, Wang Yong still hoped that the enemy army would insist on attacking the Shenlong Pass, and the seaside could take advantage of the favorable terrain and tall city walls of the Shenlong Pass to slowly consume the enemy's morale and supplies, and then launch a full-scale attack when they were desperate, so that the loss of the seaside would be minimized.
