Chapter 175 Arranging the Battle Situation
"What if we want to bypass the Tianling Mountains and attack from other directions?"
Xue Beng thought for a while and said.
"I have also considered this issue, but the feasibility is very low. Not to mention how many days the army needs to march before it is possible to bypass the Tianling Mountain Range. Once we want to bypass this mountain range, we must enter the Martial Spirit In the hinterland of the empire, the terrain is mostly dominated by hills, valleys, and basins. It is very unfavorable for our army to fight."
"On the contrary, it will be more dangerous. Moreover, there is the possibility of being blocked by the enemy. And behind Jialing Pass, there is a narrow strip of plains. You can go directly into the territory of the original Balak Kingdom. You can even go straight to Huanglong. . Therefore, I believe that it is imperative to break through Jialing Pass. Only by attacking from here can we obtain the greatest benefits. We can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat. This is the best policy."
Goron said.
"In this case, we proceed according to the original plan. However, since we can think of attacking Jialing Pass, the Wuhun Empire can naturally think of it. Jialing Pass has a steep terrain and is built on the mountain. The city wall is a hundred meters high and a hundred meters thick. Facing the With the Wuhun Empire’s army, it will be difficult for us to successfully break through the city.”
Xue Beng said.
"Your Majesty, we are going to fight a war of attrition with the Wuhun Empire. Although the Wuhun Empire seems to be monolithic at present, they have not been established for a long time, and each kingdom and principality has selfish motives. The war of attrition will certainly cause us some losses, but they The losses occurred in the armies originally belonging to various kingdoms and principalities. It is inevitable that the damage will be uneven."
"Once the losses reached a certain level, the Wuhun Emperor became confused. What we have to do is to control the loss ratio between our army and the enemy's army as much as possible. Our Tiandou Empire has a vast territory, millions of soldiers, and a continuous supply of logistics. , coupled with the response of the Star Luo Empire, after such a war of attrition, the situation will only become more and more favorable to us. However, this must also be based on our soul masters being able to withstand the Spirit Master Legion of the Spirit Palace as much as possible. Basically. National Master, please give me a thorough explanation. To what extent can you resist the Spirit Masters of the Spirit Empire?"
The national teacher mentioned by Marshal Ge Long is naturally the master.
"You don't have to think so much. I have already captured Jialing Pass and sent a few titled Douluo here. Let's just go."
Chen Feng said.
"What!"
Emperor Xue Beng and Marshal Ge Long said in surprise.
"It's just a small Jialing Pass. If you send a few Titled Douluo, you can capture dozens of Soul Douluo. It's not that troublesome."
Chen Feng said impatiently.
Emperor Xue Beng and Marshal Ge Long were speechless. If they had Chen Feng's power, how could they use this? There was no need to be afraid of the Spirit Empire, but it was a pity that they didn't have it.
"By the way, there is one more question."
Chen Feng said.
"what is the problem?"
Goron said.
"I don't understand marching and fighting. Everything will naturally follow your arrangements. But a war involving a soul master should be very different from an ordinary war. But you underestimate Bibi Dong too much. The soul master's personal ability is tyrannical. Maybe it is not enough. to collide with the steel heroes under your command. But they can easily play a special role on the battlefield. For example, if I were Bibi Dong of the Spirit Empire, I would definitely send a team of spirit masters to go behind our army. "
"You are right. In a war of attrition, we are by no means afraid of the Wuhun Empire. Our army is united and backed by the country's support. However, the consumption of a million-strong army is also huge. If we are stationed in front of Jialing Pass , when we were fighting a war of attrition with the Spirit Empire. The spirit masters sent by Bibi Dong went around to our rear and kept affecting our army's food and grass supplies by attacking our army's logistics supply troops. As time goes by, I'm afraid..."
Chen Feng's way of thinking was entirely from the perspective of a soul master. As soon as he said this, not only did Marshal Ge Long's expression change, Xue Beng's expression also suddenly looked ugly.
"I dispatched four light cavalry legions to guard the logistics and supply troops. Although the soul masters are strong, they dare not conflict with my army. After all, it is impossible for the Wuhun Empire to send a large number of soul masters to reach the rear of our army."
Marshal Gelong frowned and said. Although he had thought of what Chen Feng thought of, he was still prepared. But for some reason, after hearing Tang San's reminder, he clearly felt uneasy in his heart.
"The speed and individual strength of soul masters are not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers. Yes, it is naturally impossible for the soul masters of the Wuhun Empire to confront the army head-on. But they can be broken into pieces. I believe that as long as a casual A fire-attributed soul master whose strength reaches a certain level can cause great damage to our army's logistics supplies."
"You have to weigh this matter yourself. Powerful soul masters are everywhere. If Bibi Dong only uses them to cause harassment, but he and his army are unable to leave Jialing Pass, he will wait for us to run out of food and grass before attacking in one fell swoop. At that time, we will I’m afraid it will be difficult to retreat.”
Ge Long was also a soul master himself, and his cultivation level was not low. After listening to Chen Feng's words, he still thought about it seriously. The more he thought about it, the uglier his face became. Indeed, if Bibi Dong really sends out a large number of soul masters mainly to harass, then the seemingly powerful million-strong army of the Tiandou Empire will most likely have big problems. If the food and fodder are cut off, the army will probably collapse without an attack in a few days.
"Your Highness the Dragon King, what do you think if I deploy some more troops and station them in important towns where my food transport team passes, and then escort them in a relay?"
Marshal Ge Long asked Chen Feng.
"This is a good idea. But I still say that if the army encounters a powerful soul master, the situation will still be difficult to handle. Why not, let me help you deal with this problem. As long as the rear is stable and supplies are sufficient, we and Only in this battle with the Spirit Empire can we be confident."
Chen Feng said.
"Dragon King, what do you want?"
Xue Beng asked.
"I will send thirty agility-type soul saints, led by a titled Douluo, to form a team of powerful and quick-response soul masters. Once a soul master from the Spirit Empire is discovered, they will be sniped immediately. To ensure logistical supplies. An. In this way, together with Marshal Ge Long’s food protection army, we should be able to ensure that our army’s food and grass are as safe as possible.”
Chenfeng thought for a while and said.
When Marshal Xue Beng and Ge Long heard this, they both took a deep breath. It was just a titled Douluo and thirty agility-type soul saints. This was too big a deal, and it could be seen from Chen Feng's tone. Looking very casual, one can imagine how powerful the Emperor Sect is.
"Thank you Dragon King. With the strength of this team, I can be sure of nothing."
Xue Beng said in surprise.
"Don't be too happy too early. When Bibi Dong comes, the titled Douluo will be unable to defeat him. I will always pay attention to the rear. As long as I find Bibi Dong's aura, I will go to suppress it. You must know that the Spirit Empire is the most powerful The powerful one is Bibi Dong."
Chen Feng said.
