Chapter 396: The True Face of War
It is not an easy thing to annihilate a whole army, in the battle just fought, Lu Chen's side took advantage of the time, place and people, and was still escaped by seven or eight people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The Heavenly Saint Alliance wanted to swallow up an army of more than 8,000 people, and their strength of more than 30,000 was still not enough. So in this case, they chose to close and gradually encroach.
This practice takes a long time and is variable, and it is easier for the encircled troops to find opportunities to break out. Therefore, the Heavenly Saint Alliance's side will never divide troops for the 500-strong regiment that has escaped from the first complete encirclement line, and at most they will send a strong force to block outside the Beicheng Pass to intercept and kill the defeated troops of the Snow God Guild who want to return to the city.
"This batch of equipment has a batch of Lao Tzu..."Lu Chen ran wildly in another direction with the sharp arrow array, during which he called Noya to the front, Noya thought that Lu Chen was going to say the next plan, but his face was serious but he heard a sentence that made her extremely helpless.
"Got itβ" Noah rolled her eyes speechlessly, and then retreated back to her place.
"Report, 15 people were killed, all but 3 musketeers were rescued." The intelligence officer arrived again, and this time the results were great, although the battle was won as well as the regular army meets the militia.
However, because of Lu Chen's proper command and perfect tactical arrangement, the extremely mobile enemy was annihilated by ninety percent, and at the same time, his own damage was still tenth, which can be regarded as a classic battle.
The intelligence officer has decided that after the end of the war, he will compile all the videos and information from this period into an article that will be circulated within the guild for study.
"Huh? Don't we have more than forty pastors? Their [Resurrection] skills must have cooled down, right? Lu Chen frowned, according to his thoughts, this battle must be zero injuries.
This battle is different from the previous breakout battles, they have enough time and conditions to get out of the battle to save people, how can they still let people hang up?
"Uh... The role of the Musketeer in mobile warfare is too small, and according to the usual practice, it is best to keep the Priest's [Resurrection] skill in case of unexpected encounters later. β
"No, I don't. I will control the rhythm of the battle, usually only half an hour to fight, after which everything that can be saved will be saved! β
"Understood," the intelligence officer tried to say, but held back. He could see that Lu Chen was a novice conductor, and he could command so well, he could only say that he usually studied a lot or had good command talent.
But a novice is a novice, Lu Chen doesn't understand many professional command terms at all, and he doesn't have the taboos and common sense of some commanders, which is immediately obvious to those who are inside.
Lu Chen also understands his weaknesses, but he also has his own set of understanding, command this thing can never be rigid, and he is a master who can formulate countermeasures according to local conditions.
"I remember, after walking fifty miles out of Beichengguan, there was a trade road transit town, right? Today... It's Protector Day..."
Lu Chen suddenly remembered that this game would set aside 5 days a month to escort NPCs to protect the large caravans between cities. On the last Merchant Protection Day, Ouyang Qingcheng also took the staff of the trading house to participate, transporting a batch of relatively scarce mask equipment and glittering gold ore from Mellon City, and earned hundreds of gold coins at one time.
"Yes..."The intelligence officer nodded subconsciously, and then looked at Lu Chen in surprise, his face appeared ecstatic, and he unconsciously used honorifics, "What do you mean..."
"Hmm... This matter is kept secret, don't talk about it yet..."Lu Chen nodded, he was under a lot of pressure, and everyone present also knew that although the breakout battle and an ambush battle they had just fought were all great victories, it was still a big question whether they could escape from this battlefield alive.
For tens of thousands of days, the army of the Holy Alliance has been cruising on this mountain range, and several main roads must have been blocked. In the case of the trail, there is a chance to break through, but the risk is greater than that of the main road. Because once you are ambushed on the trail, the consequences are ninety out of ten and the whole army is annihilated.
"Understood..."The intelligence officer nodded heavily, although Noah's personal guard group has been with Noah's father for several years, and it is very reliable, otherwise Noah's father would not have handed over this army to Noah at this time.
But there is always a case, as long as there is even one spy among the people present, it will be the equipment and level of the whole group that will be buried. Therefore, Lu Chencai never said the tactical purpose, but asked everyone to run after him.
In the next hour or so, Lu Chen led the personal guard group to meander forward according to the situation reported by the scouts who had dispersed, and everyone in the group unknowingly moved the entire team north for more than ten miles.
During this period, Lu Chen commanded two more encounters, and twice cut through the weak points of the Heavenly Saint Alliance's defense line. The results were not large, but the losses were not large, and the formation of the Blade Arrow Formation could still be maintained, but the number of people still dropped to about 450 after all.
"Lu Chen, everyone's physical strength is not very good..."Noya was a little worried, not only because of the situation of the Guardian Regiment, but also because of the news from the guild five minutes ago that the tens of thousands of troops of the Heavenly Saint Alliance had indeed begun to surround them.
The 8,000 soldiers and horses of the Snow God Guild were divided into three parts, and they were fleeing in a panic in the barren mountains and mountains, unable to converge at all. And with an army of only two or three thousand people, it is very difficult to break through the defense line, because most of the god-level and quasi-god masters of the Snow God Guild have already withdrawn, and few people can take the lead alone.
"I know." Lu Chen knew better than anyone else about the problem of physical exertion, so he had been controlling the rhythm, otherwise it would have been a wild run and a fierce battle after an hour, and everyone's physical strength would have bottomed out.
"If there is no new force to join in this battle, our situation is not optimistic..."Lu Chen was also a little helpless, the news that had just come back that the main road leading to the northern trade road transit town had also been blocked.
Lu Chen couldn't have imagined that with insufficient troops, the Heavenly Saint Alliance would even extend the defense line to a place that was a full 30 miles away from Beicheng Pass. Their commander had thought of this situation early on, and with Lu Chen's hand, he would let the army of the Snow God Guild not be able to go to the south or to the north.
And the east-west direction is the way down the mountain, and the level of the monsters below the mountain is so high that the appearance of one or two elite monsters at random is enough to destroy the pro-guard group present.
"The new force... Where to find it..."Noya sighed helplessly, the blockade skill of the mercenary group can last all day, and it is not allowed to go offline during the period, and if it is forced to go offline, people will stay in place without leaving any gap.
"Actually... Five miles to the northwest of us, there is one..."
