After the meeting, the commanders-in-chief and deputy commanders of various theaters returned to their respective posts under the protection of their personal guards.

Lu Chen also began to prepare for the battle, and summoned a think tank to discuss the management of the 200,000 troops concentrated in his hands and the route of travel. The food, drink, and combat consumption of 200,000 people is a big problem, and basically all the supplies in the backpack are exhausted in 48 hours away.

Therefore, if you want the 200,000-strong army to operate all the time, you must either bring baggage troops or arrange regular logistics and grain transportation plans.

Carrying baggage will seriously affect the speed of the army's march, and arranging the army to transport grain may be cut off from food. Whatever you choose, you need to have a strict plan.

"President, as soon as our other fortresses are suspended, there will be no way to return the funds invested before. Now we have the supplies and funds in stock, at most, to support us to fight for another 20 days. No matter how long it is, we can't even afford to cook for the full members..."

Ouyang Qingcheng came over, the guild has a lot of manpower and a series of drawbacks, the biggest problem is that the army will burn money frantically as soon as it moves. The daily combat consumption of the 450,000 army was almost more than 15,000 gold coins. If there is a consumption of magic crystals, magic arrows, and magic bullets, there will be an additional calculation.

"Oh...," Lu Chen frowned, "Are our factories still operating normally?" ”

"Because the grain base is far away from the border, seventy percent of the local players there have no interest in participating in the war. As soon as the 30,000 members of the Deception Mercenary Group set out for the expedition, we immediately recruited more than 5,000 temporary workers in the same place, so the operation of the grain base was still normal.

But the Glory Factory, the Desperate Factory, the Two Rivers Factory, and the Blood Maple Factory are not even satisfied with recruiting people. Some production departments that need to be kept secret also do not have enough manpower.

Many scattered players who have not participated in the war have taken the opportunity of high-end players to participate in the war, go to major maps to farm elite monsters and bosses, and frantically brush up on experience while there are few people. Since these people did not participate in the war, they were not very interested in working in factories. It is important for them to seize the opportunity to go to those maps that were previously overcrowded, more than anything else. ”

Ouyang Qingcheng is most worried about this matter, the factory can't go all out, so the guild's income is far less than consumption, and it is still an optimistic estimate to be able to support 20 days.

The main reason is that the wolf clan started construction of 18 fortresses at the same time, and the contracting of various projects and the acquisition of various building materials suddenly consumed the millions of gold coins earned by Lu Chen's rebuying and selling. The result of such a big deal is that when the national war suddenly came, the wolf clan only had less than 250,000 gold coins for military spending!

"It seems... I can only solve it quickly..."

Lu Chen sighed secretly, in fact, this kind of fighting method of sticking to the five channels is too great for manpower and material resources. Very early on, Lu Chen wanted to let the windless million-strong army retreat directly to the bay town and abandon the entire No. 4 passage.

In this way, the enemy knows that Passage No. 4 can go straight to the enemy's hinterland, and the attack on the other four passages will be slowed down a lot, and a large number of troops will be sent from Passage No. 4 into the hinterland of Linhai City. In that case, the enemy's grain delivery route would have to be stretched for at least 400 miles. As the grain route grows, there are more opportunities for various attacks.

The reason why Lu Chen didn't do this was because he was worried that this decision would not be understood by ordinary players. They will think that the players in Mellon City are not doing their best, which will cause a quarrel between all parties.

And this plan is not without danger, in case the enemy really pours into the fourth passage. It doesn't take too many people, four million people, you can directly surround the bay town, and you will definitely knock down the bay town within a week. When the time comes, they can drive straight in, and all the villages and towns along the way will not be enough to withstand so many enemy troops.

In that way, the wolf clan can only fight with them in the field, and the consumption of the field war is even heavier, and the wolf clan can be dragged down just by giving compensation.

All in all, it's a risky style of play, a way of playing backwards. The key to this style of play is the enemy's protection of the grain road, as well as the cooperation between the commanders of the various directions on the side of Linhai City.

"What if the defenders of the No. 4 and No. 5 passages are withdrawn at the same time, and let Si Tianguo and them retreat to the [River Beach Fortress]..."Lu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, the biggest problem with the No. 4 and No. 5 passages now is that there is no city.

In the case of only one temporary camp, the enemy army can use the tactic of exhausting troops to continuously send 10,000 or 20,000 people to attack, and sooner or later it will be able to break through the camp.

"Hmm... Let's take a look..."Lu Chen thought about it and suppressed this thought, now that the national war has just begun, if the defenders of the two passages are withdrawn for no reason, the enemy will immediately see through Lu Chen's thoughts, and will focus on protecting his own grain routes.

Only if the players in Linhai City can't beat it and flee in embarrassment, they will rise up because of complacency and neglect to guard against the grain road. ，

The next day, because of the inconvenience of fighting at night, the two sides that had rested all night collided again outside the 100,000 mountains.

The army led by Rockefeller and Gauld finally arrived at the two cities at dawn. The 500,000 players drawn from the five passages had also settled in Rory City, and less than two hours after they settled, the army of the Thunder Empire was in the city.

An army of 50,000 NPCs, plus a million players, makes the entire Lori City feel like a great enemy. The tiny Acropolis itself has less than a million people and now has one and a half million players. But among them, there are only 1.2 million people with good combat effectiveness, and there is not even a decent force in this city, so it was defeated by the Liangshan Brotherhood very early.

Therefore, the arrival of reinforcements from the wolf clan made the people of the entire Rory City regarded as life-saving immortals. However, because Lu Chen and others chose to give up the decision of Roth City, it also made millions of players in Roth City complain about the wolf clan.

In this case, the first place Lu Chen chose to send troops was Roth City. Rory City can still hold on for a while, and he has to do his part on the side of Roth City. So he led the 200,000 elites from the five passages, set off from the No. 2 fortress, and stationed at the tail of a mountain range in the 100,000 mountains.

After descending the mountain, walk twenty miles north, and there is the city of Roth. In this case, Roth City and Lu Chenjun can echo each other. This is also a small skill that Lu Chen has studied the wars of ancient times these days.

That is, when defending the city, a camp was also set up outside the city, and the city and the camp echoed each other. When the enemy attacked the city, the camp attacked the enemy's rear. The enemy attacked the fortified city, and the same was done in the city.

In this case, the enemy will be afraid to attack the city or the fortress. Players and soldiers at the bottom will often panic and confusion because they mistakenly believe that they are being flanked from front to back.
