Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 794 Intrigue (seeking monthly ticket recommendation ticket)
In the battlefield dungeon, after the first wave of confrontation, the attacking team was completely wiped out, while the defenders were cleaning the battlefield in an orderly manner.

"Hey." Ron stood on the hilltop of the No. [-] stronghold, and said with a high-spirited smile, "Those guys are nothing more than that, and we beat them to pieces in just one face-to-face encounter. If you want me to say that the advantage of the defense side in this instance is too great. , not only have all the stronghold supply merit points and serve as resurrection points from the beginning, but also can deploy personnel in advance."

"I advise you not to be so optimistic." Draco, who also belonged to the defensive side, moved to his side, "At least judging from the results of this battle, we didn't take much advantage."

"Are you out of your mind? Isn't it an advantage if we wiped them all out?" Ron glanced at Draco dissatisfied.

"No, what Draco said is right." Hermione shook her head solemnly at this time, "You have to know that in this dungeon, death is not much loss. What we need most is time. The ambush just now The best situation is to drag them in place, but the battle lasted less than 5 minutes and ended."

"But what does this mean?" Ron raised his eyebrows puzzled.

"This proves that the commander on the other side is not stupid."

Wood, who was the commander of the defensive side, also came to the front line at some point, and at the same time took over the conversation, "It seems that Percy has also seen through the essence of the Battle of Hastings. This is actually a game of changing lives. The key is who changes lives. It's more efficient."

Then Wood looked at Hermione again, "How was the previous battle situation, did our battle damage be high?"

"The whole battle took less than 5 minutes. We killed 22 people and the enemy was wiped out."

Hermione answered truthfully, and then looked anxiously at the fire that had not been completely extinguished in front of her.

"The trouble now is that the terrain on the mountainside has been severely damaged. Even if the fire is extinguished, there are not many natural bunkers available for the next battle, and the top of the mountain is even more bare. This will gradually increase the difficulty of our defense. .”

"Well..." Wood nodded, "Percy's reaction was very timely. Knowing that he was being ambushed, he resolutely gave up the retreat and stopped the loss in time to pave the way for the next battle."

When Ron heard what the two said, he immediately lost his composure, "Then what will we do in the next battle? Do you guys think they will launch another general offensive?"

"I hope they will continue to attack the No. [-] stronghold." Wood laughed. "We are not afraid of the tug-of-war. After all, our resurrection point is on the mountain, and the support speed is much faster than theirs."

"That's not safe. Although we have a good location, there is no shelter on the mountain. If we fight recklessly, accidents are easy to happen." Draco also hesitated at this time.

The more the group fights, the less the role of personal bravery will be. In contrast, the importance of terrain and bunkers is obviously greater.

"Don't worry, we have gained a lot of merit in this battle. I have exchanged a lot of sandbags to build trenches, but our strategic armaments are all defensive. I am a little worried about whether the armaments on the other side have corresponding countermeasures. After all, the things in the merit list are really amazing."

"Judging from the results of the battle, their feats this time should not be high." Hermione murmured, "In comparison, what is more worrying is...whether the opponent will switch tactics and let number two go first For the stronghold, take priority to occupy the third stronghold."

"What's there to worry about?" Ron said disapprovingly. "What we have to do is to delay the time. As long as we build the No. [-] stronghold into an iron barrel, it's not impossible to waste this hour."

"It's not that simple!" Wood shook his head. "If the opponent has two strongholds, the most intuitive impact is the output of merit points. Their merits will rise faster, and it also means that our merits will increase less."

"Under the ebb and flow, the gap in armaments will be widened. The power of those strategic materials is not small, and there are many hired beasts that can directly change the situation."

"In addition, when the opponent has two strongholds, it means that they can attack us from two directions. When the time comes, we will be surrounded by people on the mountain and let people wash the ground with a large-scale spell. We won't last long."

Draco was surprised when he heard the words, "Then should we allocate some troops to garrison No. 3 stronghold?"

"Scores must be divided." Hermione lowered her head a little anxiously, "The question now is how many points, if there are fewer people going, it is tantamount to delivering food, if there are too many people going, in case the opposite party chooses to go all in on the attack What about position 2?"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, why do I suddenly feel that we are the one that lost the battle?" Ron sighed speechlessly.

"Hermione just put the possible problems on the table in advance, so there is no need to worry so much." Wood smiled, "The core problem now is actually intelligence. I have already arranged two teams to sneak in as investigation teams. Yes, and also arranged for two teams that were just killed to be revived at position 3."

"Once we discover the opponent's movement, we can adjust in time according to the enemy's decision."

"Ah?" Ron was startled when he heard the words, "Wouldn't it be that one-third of the troops have been allocated, what if the enemy launches a general attack on the No. 2 position again?"

"Don't worry." Wood said calmly, "The two teams serving as the scouting team are actually mobile units. If they find that the situation is not good, they can take the initiative to attack and come back to participate in the defense. So what we really lack is actually only two teams."

"Similarly, if the enemy allocates most of its troops to position 3, then we can just push out and use the superior force to take back position 1."

"So that's it." Hermione nodded, "Then the next step is to see the tricks and make adjustments according to their movements."

"That's right, this battle is actually an intelligence war and resource war in essence!" Wood looked at the No. 1 position in the distance, "The next step depends on the choices of the commanders on both sides."

On the other side, the wizards who died in battle were resurrected one after another in the No. [-] stronghold, and everyone was a little downcast. After all, they just had their heads held down and killed indiscriminately, which really did not boost morale.

"I'm sorry, it was my decision-making error that led to this defeat." Percy, who was waiting in the position, sincerely apologized to everyone.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Harry's face was rarely full of anger, and he couldn't keep his composure after suffering such a big hold.

"What I have to do now is to quickly get the place back! I don't want to be underestimated by those guys on the opposite side."

"That's right! Hurry up and give the order, it doesn't matter how many times you die, I just can't stand their bravado." The irascible old girl Ginny also jumped anxiously.

"Don't worry." Percy smiled wryly and shook his head. "I just figured out the way of this dungeon just now. It seems that Wood and the others are planning to use the No. [-] stronghold as their main base. We may not be worth the loss if we go straight up and fight hard."

"Then you mean, go and take the third position first?" Neville suggested.

"To snatch it, but not with too much force." Percy pondered for a moment, then looked up at the top of the mountain in the distance, "Guess what Wood thinks?"

"He will definitely not sit back and watch us take down position [-], he will definitely find a way to counter it." Cedric touched his chin and guessed, "Maybe they have already arranged for people to be stationed there."

"Doesn't that mean that they have loopholes in their defense now?" Ginny's eyes lit up. "In this case, let's do the opposite and launch another general attack against the second position!"

"No!" Percy shook his head. "It's too difficult to take the second position, and I don't think the other side will put too many people in the third position."

"The number of people Wood will choose, I guess there will be no more than two teams, which is 8 people."

"Then let's arrange three teams to sneak attack on position 3 and take it first? Our team can take on this task." Harry suggested.

"No, your team's fighting power cannot be wasted in this kind of place." Percy shook his head again. "Sending one more team will make the No. 1 position short of manpower. If they take the opportunity to counterattack condescendingly, we may not be able to withstand it!"

"Then what should we do?" Ginny frowned worriedly, and then asked in confusion, "But how will the other side know how many people we have sent to position 3?"

"This is the key point that decides the outcome!" Percy suddenly became energetic when he said this, "I guess, Wood must have arranged one or two teams to go down the mountain to investigate."

"If we launch a general offensive, these two teams can quickly go back to defend through suicide attacks. At the same time, if we arrange too many people to grab the third position, they can quickly react and launch a counterattack."

"So!" Percy's eyes lit up with a cold light, "The first thing we have to do now is to knock out the enemy's eyes! Only in this way can we take the initiative!"

"How?" Harry's eyes froze, and his whole body became murderous.

"Use them!"

Percy moved away and revealed a few items hidden behind him. They were five broomsticks, apparently exchanged by him at some point.

"Cedric, Harry, Neville, Ginny, now I give you a very important task." Percy pointed to the broomsticks, "I need you to use the broomsticks to find those scattered in the wilderness from a high altitude. Enemies on the road, and wipe them out one by one."

"At the same time, I will also arrange for a wizard to go to the third position with a flying broomstick to investigate and find out the deployment of troops on the opposite side."

"As for the rest, they will be divided into three groups and harass the No. [-] position according to the echelon configuration, diverting the enemy's attention, consuming their energy, and further destroying the terrain. By the way, it can also prevent the opponent from continuing to send reconnaissance troops."

"So your mission is very important!" Percy looked at Harry and the others solemnly, "As long as you clear the payment in time, the men I arrange will be able to avoid the enemy's detection and take the third position!"

"Good idea! We understand." Cedric recognized Percy's arrangement very much, and immediately led the three of Harry to the broomsticks.

"You guys have to take it easy!" Percy warned again, "This set of broomsticks has spent all the current merit points. If all previous efforts are wasted, we will be passive."

"Moreover, the opponent may have similar exchange items. It is impossible for us to seize air supremacy for a long time, so the most important thing for this mission is speed. The opponent must have used all their resources to strengthen the position now. If they can also exchange for Without air power, we lose our intelligence advantage."

"Don't worry!" Ginny, the youngest in the team, patted her chest confidently, "I promise to complete the mission, and after removing the ground reconnaissance troops, we will find a way to build an air defense line and never let their hands stick out of the turtle shell." !"

"Yeah!" Percy nodded gratifiedly, "It's good that you have such an awareness, act quickly, the frontal troops should be deployed immediately, and we can't give the opponent too much time to react."

Soon, members of the offensive and defensive sides acted according to their respective strategies.

The attacking side was divided into several groups, and launched wave after wave of charges on the No. 2 position.

Although such a sporadic attack did not put too much pressure on Wood and the others, this continuous offensive also made them have to be on alert at all times.

At the same time, due to the continuous destruction of the terrain by the attackers, the mountain road leading to the second position has been potholed, and the trees on it have been completely destroyed.

In this way, although the field of vision during defense becomes better, it also makes it difficult for them to counterattack. The clear terrain outcropping is too obvious.

Moreover, such a wave of attacks by the offensive side did not cause trouble for the defensive side.

After repelling the attacking party's 4 attacks in a row, several wizards touched the front trenches.

Among them, Harry's roommate Seamus Finnigan, after rushing into the trench, cast a Thunderbolt Explosion Curse without hesitation, and instantly died together with the five defending wizards, which also caused quite a commotion .

"What are Percy and the others going to do? It's really inexplicable." Hermione in the trench wiped the mud splashed on her face and scolded, "What's the difference between such an attack and death, don't they want to win?"

"I can't understand it now, but I always have a bad feeling."

Wood, who was also in the trench, frowned suspiciously, but when he received a message from the earphone, his face suddenly changed.

Then he rushed out of the trench non-stop, came to the side of the cliff on the side of the stronghold, and kept watching with binoculars.

Hermione on the side was a little confused, and immediately followed up and asked, "What happened?"

"Percy and the others actually have broomsticks over there!" Wood scanned the sky anxiously, while yelling, "A team that went out to investigate has just had an accident, and the news came back that they were received by Harry and Neville. Air attack!"
