Chapter 633: Strategic Choice
The mercenary camp takes a day to complete, and the next target, Yuan Chenfei, is selected as a blacksmith shop, and the improvement that the equipment brings to the profession is still very obvious.
The blacksmith shop needs eight kinds of resources, and they already have four of them, so they only need to get four for the next day.
But at this moment, news came from the rear.
One of the mines was attacked.
As one of the mines was attacked, the others began to be attacked one after another, and due to the large number of Qingkong clans, the five mines fell almost at the same time.
Fortunately, due to their early preparation, the Cyclops fled as soon as they got the news, and there was nothing to lose.
After reclaiming the mines, the Qingkong clan re-stationed and began to build defenses.
It is worth noting that this time they began to build the battery.
Yuan Chenfei, who learned the news, only thought about it for a moment, then continued to lead the troops to attack, quickly took down the other four mining areas, and retreated in time after clearing a batch of resources.
Due to the relatively fast movements, the Cyclops were also promoted in the battle, and their strength increased, so the battle on this day was much faster than before.
Li Zhanjun proposed to make persistent efforts and simply clean up the remaining three mines, but Yuan Chenfei objected.
He rarely accepted it and returned to the territory with the cyclops.
The day passed quickly, and in the evening, the mercenary camp was completed.
Yuan Chenfei used his authority, and the first person he hired was Qu Wei.
Hiring costs crystals, but since the gods forbid them to use their personal resources, they can only be obtained in the territory.
Fortunately, Qu Wei's price is not high, he is only level twenty-eight, and the first level is one hundred crystal coins, that is, two thousand eight hundred crystal coins, which is very cheap.
When he walked out of the mercenary camp, he saw Yuan Chenfei coming over and hugging him.
Although Qu Wei was already mentally prepared, he was still a little surprised in the face of this scene: "I'm the first?"
"That's, you're cheap. Li Zhanjun didn't have anything good to say when he opened his mouth.
"Fuck off, don't listen to him, I have something to ask you. So I'll get you here first, although you can also spread the word in the fairy world, it's still too troublesome. "Yuan Chen Feidao.
"Understood. Qu Wei nodded: "I have received the news in the morning, and the staff has also analyzed it, do you want to hear it?"
"I'm looking forward to it. ”
Qu Wei said: "I guess you also thought of it, the strength of the Qingkong Clan's stationing strength is also echelon-upgraded. ”
One sentence is the key.
Although Yuan Chenfei and the others captured a lot of Qingkong Clan captives, the Qingkong Clan's mission was only known to the upper echelons, so it was unrealistic to understand the Qingkong Clan's mission through the captives, and it could only be judged by their actions.
At this moment, Yuan Chenfei said: "But I think that this strength is stationed, and it is not the strength of the soldiers that is restricted, but the defensive measures." ”
"That's right. Qu Wei had already said: "The Qingkong Clan obviously established a defensive base in the buffer zone half a month in advance, but at the beginning, there were only a few alchemy arrays, which was unreasonable. And after returning from the counteroffensive, they began to install the battery, considering the previous mission mode, it can basically be judged that every time they successfully counterattack, they will get a certain right to improve their defense. ”
Yuan Chenfei nodded: "That's right, this should be the restriction that the gods give us." If we want to use guerrilla tactics to gather resources and ensure that the Cyclops do not lose as much as possible, then in the repeated battles, we will face more and more resistance, until in the end, each stronghold captured, it may pay a heavy price. ”
Qu Wei continued: "There is another problem. You took down five mining areas in one go yesterday, and it stands to reason that one day is enough for the Qingkong Clan to fight back. But in fact they didn't, and only launched a counterattack this morning. It would be unreasonable to say that they are slow. ”
Yuan Chenfei said: "There is only one explanation. ”
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Time-limited attack!"
The Blue Sky Clan's counterattack is likely to be limited, such as only the day after the loss, so even if they know that the mine is lost, they will not fight back immediately.
This is the opportunity that the gods have given them.
Otherwise, the twelve mining areas will be fought for once they are lost, and only 70,000 cyclops will not be able to resist.
It is precisely because the total time is limited, so when the next day comes, the five mining areas are attacked almost simultaneously, and there is no chance for the opponent to resist. In other words, even if Yuan Chenfei and they guarded one of them, there were still four points that would be too late to defend.
Qu Weidao: "From this point of analysis, we may also draw a conclusion, that is, there is only one chance to counterattack every day. This time it didn't work, and today you can't fight back. ”
Yuan Chenfei nodded: "It should be like this." ”
Xia Ning and the others also suddenly realized: "So this is the reason why you didn't order to attack the remaining three mines? Because there is no counterattack, they can't upgrade the defense system." ”
"Yes. Yuan Chenfei sighed: "In this way, things will be contradictory again." ”
If you want to avoid being counterattacked by your opponent as much as possible, you have to clean up a mine as much as you can and try to keep it, but you can't build any special buildings with a single resource.
And a full sweep will give the opponent a chance to fight back in full force.
It can be said that the gods have been creating contradictory choices for them during this mission.
Whether to build special buildings or not, the balance of offense and defense in the resource area, all the choices are pros and cons, and Yuan Chenfei and they must weigh the pros and cons.
For this reason, Yuan Chenfei also had a headache: "Things are very troublesome." ”
Qu Wei smiled: "Isn't this the reason why you came to me?"
"Do you have any suggestions?" asked Yuan Chenfei.
Qu Wei said: "Before I came, I had some discussions with the above. We agreed that out of the twenty types of special buildings, the ten that are truly useful are the Breeding Pool, the Jedi Beast Fence, the Blacksmith's Shop, the Mercenary Barracks, the Patronus Statue, the Rage Stone, the Spell Tower, the Dark Spirit Path, the Silent Pure Land, and the Thick Earth Labyrinth. Therefore, our planning should be based on these ten materials needed for construction. ”
Liu Li wondered: "Although the Breeding Tianchi is useless in this battle, it can improve the overall strength of the cyclops, and it is a necessary building for long-term development, and I can understand it when I build it." But what does the tower want it for? just to put a few spells? Cyclops wants it useless. And it contradicts the Pure Land of Silence. ”
Qu Wei said: "If you think about it from the perspective of combat, it is really useless. But have you forgotten how Yuan Chenfei dominated the goblin realm in the first place?"
Everyone was stunned: "Illusion?"
"That's right!" Qu Wei said, "The Spell Tower is not used for fighting, but for dealing with means such as disillusionment and disappearance. Cyclops didn't have this means, so they had to rely on spell towers. Unless you don't care about the Cyclops, it's best to build this thing for them anyway. In fact, even if it is this guardian war, you have to consider the possibility of the Qingkong Clan infiltrating and sabotage. Don't forget, the mission only says that you can attack in a month, but it doesn't say when the attack will end. Theoretically, as long as the opposing soldiers don't die and don't give up, they can keep fighting. ”
Only then did everyone realize that they had made a mistake by focusing only on the non-war period for a month, but ignoring how long it would take to fight after the battle began. If the Qingkong Clan has the intention to delay and use the resource advantage to continuously consume, the 70,000 troops can be very strong.
But Qu Wei: They noticed.
Now everyone understands the urine nature of the gods, and what you don't prescribe is what I can use.
Since the gods don't stipulate how long they can fight after a month, it is very likely that the Qingkong Clan will be like the fairy fortress, fighting time-consuming battles, resource wars, and slowly wearing down their opponents.
"The Tower of Spells has to be built. Yuan Chenfei affirmed: "It's just ten, and it still involves twelve resource points." ”
Qu Wei smiled, "That's what you missed. I have analyzed and compared the resources required for these ten types of buildings, and we found that the resources needed for these ten types of buildings are mainly concentrated in crescent stone, obsidian crystal, and mantu gold...... Of the eight ores, the other four require very small amounts. ”
"But it's still needed, isn't it?" Xia Ning asked. ”
"Yes, but if we concentrate our efforts, we can collect them all in a day or two. ”
Hearing this, everyone understood.
Yuan Chenfei said: "These four resources with less demand, spend one to two days to go all out, as long as the ten building needs are met, you can give up strategically." ”
Rouwa also said: "In other words, when the time comes, you will only need to compete for eight resource points." ”
"Nope. Qu Wei shook his head: "It's six." There are also two special resources, Pearlwood and Lava Agate, which can also be obtained in Blue Sky City, not only in the buffer zone. ”
There is an attack on the city in the mission, and the two resources are fought for through this mission, so there are only six places that really need to be entangled.
In this way, everyone's pressure is reduced a lot.
"In this way, it means that we have to fight for six places and give up six places? When it comes to the general attack, it will be 70,000 plus 9,000 people, and maybe another 18,000 people?" Xia Ning asked.
"Giving up is not necessarily a total abandonment. Qu Wei explained: "Although it is only speculation that the stronghold guards can join the siege war, we analyze it and agree that it is indeed very likely. Because according to the custom of the gods, all hidden means must be related, and there is rarely a direct increase in troops for no reason. It's like the ambush of the Qingkong Clan, which also releases relevant tasks in advance, rather than directly targeting. So assuming this inference is correct, can we think the other way around?"
Yuan Chenfei said: "Before the end of the last day, clear out the strongholds we have abandoned. Because they can only counterattack the next day, in this way, they will lose their chance, and these eighteen thousand people will not be able to appear. ”
"That's right, so you understand the order of our attacks?"
Yuan Chenfei has already said: "Give priority to attacking the mines to be abandoned, and collect all the resources needed." Since the mission had only just begun, when they launched a counteroffensive, it was definitely with the weakest forces. But they would not have imagined that after this, these six mines would not be attacked again. Due to the limitation of the mission, they will no longer be able to strengthen their defenses and deploy troops until the last day, and we will solve it in one go!"
