Lin Mu stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up at the sergeants who were constantly attacking the caves.

The soldiers of the True Dragon Legion, wearing a blue wolf shield or a steel shield, on the rugged mountain road, like a snail, slowly advancing, and when they were about to get close to some caves, countless black arrows suddenly erupted from the mouth of the cave, like a buzz, buzzing, and the arrows hit the shield or armor, clanging, but some unlucky soldiers will be shot by arrows into some parts of the body that is not protected by mistakes, poof, the soldiers snorted, splashed out several blood, and then were rescued by the robe behind them.

After the buzzing black arrows, the mouth of the cave suddenly erupted with a burst of reddish 'iron ore block fire rain', and these 'rain' were accompanied by a little bit of fire and water, which bounced on the mountain grass and rattled.

It was the ore that the craftsmen in the foundry base melted and cast iron, which was casually put into the furnace and heated, and then thrown out to be used as a material for defending the city.

Some soldiers were hit by the 'rain of iron ore blocks', and the sound of a roar accompanied by a smell of meat suddenly appeared on the battlefield, the wounded soldiers wailed, and the soldiers were a little flustered.

Seeing this, Lin Mu frowned. This is a bit unpleasant, before it was confronted, it was already suppressed by the soldiers defending the city, and the morale was greatly hit. Lin Mu is not a commander, so I don't know if the system will have a hint of morale decay.

It's a pity that the True Dragon Legion currently doesn't have a top strategist, and this situation caught the True Dragon Legion off guard.

The battle of the True Dragon Legion only relied on Liu Feng, He Yuan and other generals to make their own plans, and it was absolutely unambiguous for them to charge, but it was really difficult for them to plan the layout.

In the previous battle against bandits, the True Dragon Legion was prepared in advance, with Feng Zhong and others planning behind the scenes, and now, in the face of the sudden changes in the battlefield situation, the legion's response is a little lagging behind.

Although the soldiers of the True Dragon Legion are relatively high-level, war is not only about strength, but also about strategy and strategy. In addition to the rank of the soldier, there are other aspects of the True Dragon Legion that need to be improved.

This is a lesson, a lesson for Liu Feng and other generals to review, and a lesson for the soldiers of the True Dragon Legion to review themselves.

"Liu Feng, when I was carrying out the task of suppressing bandits in the Five Mountains in the past, did the soldiers also behave like this in the face of the difficulties of attacking the city? Panic on your own! Lin Mu asked with some seriousness.

Lin Mu did not participate in the task of suppressing bandits in the five mountains, but the results were brilliant, and Lin Mu did not understand the process in detail, and did not know the specific performance of the soldiers.

Now, this time to attack Xu Zhao's Qinglong Village, the performance of the soldiers is somewhat unsatisfactory.

"Back to the lord, in the past, everyone had a plan and a routine to attack the city, but now, when we launched an attack, it was a situation of hindsight, and the soldiers defending the city were already in good standby, so it has been difficult to open the situation, and the soldiers will inevitably make mistakes." Liu Feng knew that the soldiers were advancing more than a dozen times, but there were no results, but the number of injured soldiers increased, which made the soldiers who had been fighting smooth battles have some psychological loopholes. But Liu Feng, as the commander-in-chief, still needs to defend the soldiers.

"The soldiers of the True Dragon Legion, playing a favorable situation, it is invincible and invincible. But playing against the wind is not satisfactory. In the future, as a commander-in-chief, you need to strengthen your training in this area. When I go back, I also ask Feng Zhong to pay attention to this aspect of training when he trains. ”

Feng Zhong's current training plan is to speed up the advancement and level of soldiers, as well as the level of some skills and specialties, but as the sergeants encounter more and more battles, which are becoming more and more difficult, the battlefield literacy and battlefield reaction ability of the soldiers also need to be improved.

At the same time, Lin Mu's desire for strategists in his heart has also reached a peak. To get this strategy, you must abduct a strategist back.

"Liu Feng, you ordered the soldiers to retreat first, not to attack for the time being, to recharge their energy first, and restore everyone's morale and physical strength." Lin Mu instructed Liu Feng.

"No!" Liu Feng didn't have a good way, so he could only order. Liu Feng's commanding ability is still a little immature and needs to be improved urgently. It's okay to fight bandits with backward equipment and lack of materials to defend the city, but if it is against an army led by super generals such as Cao Ren and Yu Ban, it will be like delivering food.

The golden sea of mountains slowly retreated, and the Qinglong Army, who believed that the city was defending, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Mu gathered Liu Feng, He Yuan, Wang Sheng, Zhang Xiaohu, Shan Gong and other generals together and sat on a mountain lawn to discuss the situation of the battle.

It's not that they ignore the five thousand elites who are besieged in the cave, but there is no way to advance for the time being, Lin Mu also believes in the strength of Tianjia Seventy-Eight and the others, in the narrow cave, they can hold out for a long time. The five thousand elites carried enough food and grass to worry about being trapped and dying.

Now the top priority is to open up the situation of the strong defense of the Qinglong Village.

"He Yuan, you rushed ahead, did you see the appearance of the general of the Qinglong Army who was good at archery?" Lin Mu asked as soon as he gathered.

"And he was long and strong, about six feet tall, about twenty-seven or eighteen years of age, with a majestic countenance, muscular arms, and a strong force. But the most conspicuous thing is that there is a scar under his right eye, which looks hideous and vicious. He Yuan recalled.

"Is that scar under his right eye crescent-shaped?" Lin Mu immediately asked.

"Hey, have you seen him, lord?" Wang Shenghu next to him asked, saying that what Lin Mu said was right.

"Could it be him...... It should be him! But how did he join Xu Zhao's command, and how did he become the Blue Dragon Army? Lin Mu had a guess in his heart and muttered.

In the mythical world, the faces of military generals generally do not leave any scars, and injuries on the face can be solved with some elixir. Only some scars with special significance remain. According to his memory, Lin Mu knew that only a few top generals would have scars on their faces.

According to He Yuan's information, Lin Mu thought of a person and guessed and asked, "How is his combat power?" What is the approximate level of strength? ”

"We fought him at the time, but he didn't do his best, as if he had any scruples. Judging by the strength of our Yellow Rank Xuan Rank, guess that he should already be above the ground level. The weapons used are tiger head guns and bows and arrows, one hand swept the eight guns to make it supernatural, we only supported two rounds and retreated, when we used the sharp knife plan, he took out the bow and arrow on his back, and one arrow wounded a high-ranking general, four arrows and four hits, like a marksman. He Yuan was a little palpitating and said bitterly.

"Okay, I already know the specific situation of this defending general, let's talk about the situation of this siege." Lin Mu turned the topic to siege.

"Liu Feng, now that everyone has calmed down, how do you think this battle should be fought?" Lin Mu asked.

Lin Mu asked Liu Feng, He Yuan and the others about the information of the Qinglong Army, but it was useless. Although they were members of the Blue Dragon Army before, they were only on the periphery, responsible for some recruit training and other affairs, and they could not reach the core level of Xu Zhao, so they knew very little about Xu Zhao.

"Lord, I can't think of it for the time being." Liu Feng was a little embarrassed.

The original plan was to sneak up some caves at night, then advance slowly, slowly occupy the others, and then occupy the exits everywhere, surround them, and use this to threaten them and force them to surrender to achieve the maximum results.

It's a pity that it backfired, because the plan to transport troops to sneak attack was discovered, the defenders were prepared, and the True Dragon Legion hurriedly attacked, resulting in defeat, falling into the disadvantage, and helpless.

There are still more than 100,000 defenders in this Qinglong Village, but it is not a paper paste, even if the True Dragon Legion has 200,000 elite soldiers, but it also needs to be fought in order to reflect the combat power, and now it is limited by their means of defending the city, everyone is holding their breath, and their morale is a little low.

There is a generally accepted theory that only an army that defends a city with ten times the combat power can break the city head-on. The True Dragon Legion currently does not have ten times higher combat power than the Qinglong Village, and it is not a frontal conventional siege and defense battle.

"What about you?" Lin Mu was a little disappointed, and then asked He Yuan Wang to promote them, and several of them also shook their heads.

Lin Mu was disappointed, but he did not despair, Liu Feng and them, they have experienced very few battles, and they have seen even less books on the art of war, and there are basically no books on the art of war in Yinglong Valley, all of which are passed down by Feng Zhong by word of mouth, and they are taught relatively little.

It's really hard to get them to come up with a good strategy.

Lin Mu patted Liu Feng on the shoulder and said softly: "Don't be discouraged, you lack experience, and you have little experience in observing and analyzing factors such as the right time, place, and people, and you can strengthen it in the future, this battle is a lesson." ”

"Since you can't do it, just adopt the strategy I just came up with, and you can learn from it." Lin Mu said a strategy that came to mind in his abdomen.

"Marching and fighting, in addition to the strength of the soldiers, logistics and other righteous aspects, there are also the right time, place and people and other strange ways as auxiliary factors, today, I will let you see the power of the strange way." Lin Mu said slowly.

"The Qinglong Army is stuck in the cave and it is difficult to attack it for a while, but the Qinglong Village is built in the cave, and its cottage function is to cast weapons, so there is a huge drawback: heat!"

"Hot?" Liu Feng and the others wondered.

"Yes, it's hot. Heat, including a lot, the first is geothermal heat, casting weapons requires the construction of a lot of furnaces, it requires a very high temperature, then the mountain must be very hot. On the other hand, the breath circulation in the mountain is more difficult than that of the empty city, and the breath is turbid, which is the heat of the air! As long as our soldiers pour some cold water into the holes that excrete black smoke, a large amount of hot steam will inevitably be generated, and the relationship between geothermal heat and air heat will inevitably greatly disturb the defenders, and when the time comes, it will be a miracle to attack. Lin Mu said an immature strategy.
