Chapter 280: A New Battle Report (Part II)
"What did you encounter, why didn't you even dare to use the communication jade slip, and since you couldn't use your divine sense, how did you cooperate and communicate. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Duan Rui saw that Liu Fang's emotions were a little out of control, and he hurriedly took a step forward, took Liu Fang in his arms, and asked.
"We found the location of one of the enemy's strongholds, which had obviously just been built, and the ground was relatively flat, surrounded by wasteland, and it was very desolate. ”
"The wasteland is very large, there is not much cover, it is extremely difficult to sneak into, and the enemy army is obviously one of the main forces of the enemy army, not to mention the strength of the demon beasts, not to mention the most important thing is that these demon beasts are obviously very intelligent. ”
"We found the secret posts and traps planted by the enemy on the periphery of the formation dozens of miles away from the enemy's formation, thanks to the captain's rich experience in the battle, he made timely evasion and switched routes to retreat to avoid the early exposure of his whereabouts. ”
"Based on his rich operational experience, the captain speculates that the enemy army should have a very rare perceptual type demon beast, which can closely monitor everything within a radius of ten miles around the entire stronghold, and it is very difficult to sneak in!"
"But obviously found the enemy's stronghold, if they retreated like this, they couldn't get accurate information, and the captain and deputy captain felt unwilling, so they sent me back to deliver the message, and they continued to cautiously try to infiltrate and collect information. ”
"As for the way we communicate, we generally have very little conversation and mental exchange when we are on a mission, and we can understand each other's minds and orders through sign language or eye contact. The scout team member hurriedly introduced to Duan Rui.
"Do you have a good idea of the enemy's approximate strength? Duan Rui was silent for a long time and asked, thinking of the rattlesnake snake's alternative detection method, Duan Rui had to admit that some demon beasts were inherently more advantageous than human martial cultivators in terms of perception, and no one was sure if there were special demon beasts in the opposing camp that could sense the aura and divine sense of martial cultivators.
"The strength of the enemy's main legion is about 30,000 to 40,000, and I am afraid that there are many sixth-level and several seventh-level demon beasts in the legion, and it is very likely that the leader is a seventh-level peak demon beast. ”
"Also, judging by the tricks of the enemy army left around, the enemy army should be disciplined and good at cooperating with each other, and most importantly, they seem to have their own battle formations. The scout team member concluded.
"What a demon beast battle formation! It is worthy of the main force, and it is indeed completely different from the enemy army we encountered before. Duan Rui sighed in amazement when he heard it.
"We can only analyze so much information from superficial phenomena, and as for the more detailed content, I am afraid that we will have to wait for the captain to send back the news. The scout team member said helplessly.
"You've done a good job, how far away is the enemy stronghold from us. Duan Rui nodded, encouraging the other party while not forgetting to ask.
"The distance between the two strongholds is about 2,000 miles, and there are mountains in the middle that make it difficult to reach. The scout hurriedly bowed and replied.
"Okay, you go get some rest first, and I'll need you to show me the way." Duan Rui nodded and waved his hand to signal the other party to go out and rest first.
"Yes!" the scout member replied with no further questions, just a nod.
When the scout turned around and walked out of the room, Elder Gongsun had already heard the news and rushed over, followed by Xiao Jing, who was still wearing a black tights and out of place with the entire Volunteer Legion, and he did not enter the room, but stood alone at the door, holding his chair on the door frame and closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.
"Mu, what are you hesitating about, let's send troops to Sister Yarou and them quickly!" Liu Fang saw that Duan Ruizhi didn't issue the order to send troops at the first time, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
"We have so little information about the enemy's forces so far, and we have to plan well before we send in just in case. Duan Rui nodded at Elder Gongsun who had just walked in, glanced at Xiao Jing at the door again, and explained to Liu Fang in his arms.
"But, ......," Liu Fang heard and wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Zhao Xiong, who had not spoken on the side.
"That's right! The corps commander is very reasonable, leading troops to fight must not be rash, once they are in a hurry, not only will they not be able to save Captain Shen, they will also completely force them to a dead end. Zhao Xiong nodded in support of Duan Ruidao.
"Believe me, I don't want to see them die more than you do, but war is cruel, and if we want everyone around us to live, we must think about everything in advance, make careful plans and arrangements, and prevent their goals from being exposed and more casualties. Duan Rui also looked at Liu Fang in his arms with a serious face, and emphasized.
"Hmm!" Liu Fang looked at Duan Rui's serious expression, feeling his warm arms, and the nervousness and uneasiness in his heart also faded a lot, and finally nodded meekly, and then stopped talking.
"Elder Gongsun! Vice General Zhao, according to the two of you, you can see if there are any feasible countermeasures. After Duan Rui comforted Liu Fang in his arms, he looked up at the two right-hand men in front of him and asked out loud.
"It's not just a few small suggestions. Elder Gongsun humbly answered.
"I want to hear it!" Duan Rui shouted with surprise on his face.
"At the moment, based on the existing information, we can roughly judge the following points. First of all, the enemy army is the main force, and its organization and discipline are very sound, so it can be said that this is a very difficult enemy combat team; second, the enemy army may know how to cooperate with the battle formation, and may be more numerous than us, and I am afraid that it will have an advantage in overall combat strength; finally, the enemy's formation is about 2,000 miles away from us, and the terrain in the middle is complicated, so it is not convenient for a large army to travel long distances. ”
"Based on the above three points, we now have to face a dilemma, either stay still and wait for Captain Shen's latest news and decide whether to send troops according to the actual situation, or send a task force to support Captain Shen and find a way to bring them back safely. ”
"Of course, the members of the task force must be all grandmasters, and all of them must be proficient in the art of Qimen retreat, so that they can secretly infiltrate the vicinity of the enemy's stronghold and try to contact Captain Shen and cooperate with him to achieve the ultimate goal of this operation. ”
"There are some dangers associated with both options, but there is no doubt that this is the most appropriate and safest option at the moment. After Gongsun Yang got Duan Rui's permission, he hurriedly said his thoughts.
"Yes, I think so too, but I personally prefer the second option, because the enemy situation is unknown, it is not suitable for a large army to be dispatched blindly, and the terrain is complicated, and it is not easy for the two sides to advance and retreat flexibly once they start a war. ”
"It's just that there are some problems with this second plan, who to send first, and how to ensure that the members of the task force can successfully complete the task and bring Brother Shen and them back safely...... These questions are troublesome. Duan Rui nodded and said in agreement......
