Chapter 855: Jia Xu's Poisonous Plan
According to the latest rules of the national war issued by Gaia, during the national war, teleportation between the territory teleportation array and the royal city teleportation array are forbidden to teleport to each other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
By doing so, Gaia actually made the national war more difficult. If the teleportation array is not restricted, countries with slightly larger populations can block any attack by relying on the crowd alone, as long as the player collectively teleports to a city.
In that case, the war would be meaningless.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the war room, Ouyang Shuo announced the final operational deployment.
According to the deployment, General Bai Qi commanded the First Army and the Fifth Army of the Longxiang Army, responsible for attacking the royal city of Rabat. LΓΌ Bu commanded the Third Legion of the Praetorian Guard as a reserve and was responsible for launching the final blow on the royal city.
Ho Qu was in command of the Third Legion of the Praetorian Guard, responsible for intercepting between Casablanca and the royal city of Rabat. Not surprisingly, the armies of the three realms will first teleport to Casablanca to support Rabat.
The fifth squadron of the Mediterranean Fleet, which is stationed in Friendship City and is responsible for patrolling the waters off Somalia, has returned to Gateway City and will be deployed at the mouth of the Strait of the Port of Gibraltar to guard against the Spanish Armada.
The first and second formations were responsible for attacking the royal city of Rabat, and the third formation was responsible for intercepting Tangier's sailors, while arranging a second defensive chain at the mouth of the strait.
Finally, the fourth formation is mainly responsible for the transportation of the army and the escort of the sea.
The whole fleet was arranged tightly, and it seemed a little stretched.
Because of the limited number of troops, the expeditionary force had to make a surprise plan if it wanted to successfully take Morocco, and the military advisor Jia Xu offered a strategy that was recognized by Ouyang Shuo.
In the war room, Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry to let Jia Xu tell his plan, he was waiting for an important piece of information, which was related to whether Jia Xu's strategy could be implemented smoothly.
At this moment, the Black Snake finally arrived.
"Your Majesty, the things are in hand."
Black Snake took out the map he had obtained at the tavern and handed it over.
Ouyang Shuo took a look and nodded to Jia Xu, who understood and began to tell the generals present about his battle strategy.
Jia Xu said: "There are 250,000 Praetorian Guards stationed in the royal city of Rabat, plus more than 200,000 fighting aliens, if Rabat unites as one, defends the city wall, and fights to the end. To tell the truth, with the current expeditionary force, not only is it not good at conducting landing operations, but it also lacks sufficient siege equipment, so it is really impossible to start. If you attack, even with the bravery of the Long Xiang Army and the Praetorian Guard, I am afraid that you will have to pay a heavy price. β
Bai Qi and Huo Quzhi looked solemn, obviously agreeing with Jia Xu's judgment. Since the two gods returned from the Moroccan expedition, their brows have not been relaxed, and the difficulty of this ocean-going battle is somewhat beyond imagination.
Jia Xu's words are actually quite euphemistic, and according to Bai Qi's estimate, even if he catches the Longxiang army and has the assistance of the Praetorian Guard, it is unknown whether Rabat can be successfully taken in this battle.
None of the royal cities in the game are tofu scum, and this expeditionary force wants to take a royal city with half the force, if it weren't for the king's confidence, Bai Qi would have suspected that this was just a joke.
Jia Xu continued: "The strongest fortresses are often breached from within. A few days ago, the Black Snake Guard intercepted an important piece of information, there are three large fierce fire oil storage warehouses in the royal city of Rabat, this is our opportunity, and the specific situation is better to ask the Black Snake Commander to introduce it to you. β
The black snake nodded, got up and said, "The three fierce fire oil depots are set up in the north of the city, the west of the city, and the south of the city, but there are no similar warehouses in the east of the city where the palace is located. The warehouse is stocked with a large amount of fierce fire oil, which is one of Morocco's main exports. Just now, I got the detailed drawings and cruising arrangements of these three warehouses, and the Black Snake Guard is confident that it will cooperate with the army and detonate these three oil depots at the same time. β
When the generals heard this, their hearts were all awe-inspiring.
It is no stranger to the fierce fire oil generals, and it has now become the standard material in the army of the Great Xia Dynasty.
I also know that if the three oil depots explode at the same time, the entire city of Rabat will be in flames, and it will not be extinguished. In that case, there will be great chaos in the city.
Jia Xu's calm gaze swept over the generals, and said expressionlessly: "At the same time as detonating the oil depot, the air flying team will also drop a large number of incendiary bombs on Rabat, and the detailed work in the city will also cooperate with the arson to further create chaos. Ladies and gentlemen, that is our chance. β
Bai Qi listened, and blood flashed in his eyes. Bai Qi didn't expect that the polite military advisor in front of him was even more vicious and ruthless than him, the god of battlefield killing.
Don't think about it, if this fire continues, even if Rabat City is taken, it is estimated that there will only be an empty shelf left, and the entire royal city will be burned to ruins.
The most important thing is the people in the city, under the fire, who knows how many people will suffer.
"Ruthless!" Bai Qi secretly evaluated.
Even so, Bai Qi would not object, "The people of the mortal enemy country are better than the soldiers of the Dead Dragon Army." β
After the generals digested the news, Jia Xu continued: "Rabat is a royal city, and a fire alone is certainly not enough to destroy it. It's better for the generals not to have such a fluke mentality, thinking that they can sit back and enjoy the results. The fire only exacerbated the unrest in the city, so that it could not devote itself to the confrontation with our army. Whether Rabat can be won in the end will have to be fought in a real way. β
The generals nodded, and none of them were really confused. Even fierce generals like Ma Chao and Lu Bu, because they were born in the Three Kingdoms, have experienced countless siege battles, and they are all experienced people.
After Jia Xu finished speaking, Ouyang Shuo made a final summary and said: "The situation is such a situation, after coming down, taking advantage of the time when the troops are assembled, you must repeatedly explain to the generals under your command. The map of the streets of Rabat, which the Black Serpent Guard had painstakingly drawn, had to be conveyed at least to the battalion level. The battle of Rabat was different from the past, it was not a conventional siege battle, it was not a siege of the city, the main battlefield was set in the city, it was a street battle in the midst of fire. β
"The king didn't want the troops to enter the city, so they would get lost and make some jokes. In the sea of fire, the enemy army can panic and chaos, but we cannot panic and chaos. If necessary, the ministries should conduct small-scale drills. Only by making solid preparations in advance can we reduce bloodshed and sacrifice. β
"Do as the king commands!" The generals solemnly agreed.
All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted.
Not fighting uncertain battles is the concept that Ouyang Shuo has always adhered to. Since the struggle for hegemony, Ouyang Shuo has experienced no less battles and wars than any historical general, and he has only summed up one experience.
Advance the preparations for war as much as possible, and often the preparations are sufficient, and the war is won before it even begins, and vice versa.
