Chapter 744: Rainstorm Tactics
Lu Chen's strategy of retreating to advance belongs to the Yangmou type, even if there are capable people on Wang Shaoning's side to see it, it is useless, they can't conquer the three fortresses belonging to the wolf clan, so they can't guarantee the safety of the rear.
But millions of Thunder Empire players can't afford to stay where they are and waste their time, they are in a hurry to forge ahead, and they are confused by the gradual defeat of the players in Coastal City.
For Lu Chen, it's best to be able to fool all the enemies, and it doesn't matter if he can't. It is only necessary to rely on supply lines that are more broken than the enemy, and fight a high-intensity and high-frequency war. The enemy had to continuously transport supplies to the battlefield, and the number of food transportation teams increased, and Lu Chen had more choices.
Similarly, fighting a high-intensity and high-frequency war will make the wolf clan, which is already short of money, even more starved of money. Originally, it could support the wolf clan to fight for more than half a month's military expenses, but now it is only enough for the wolf clan to last for seven or eight days.
Time drove Lu Chen forward.
After the defenders of Passage 4 and Passage 5 were defeated, Windless retreated to the bay town, and Si Dump retreated to the riverbank fortress, the players of Linhai City panicked. Under this pressure, Lu Chen was successfully elected as the leader of the Southeast Alliance.
The Lord of the Southeast Alliance can nominally command the player forces of Rinhai City and half of Mellon City, as well as scattered players, and has great power during the National War.
This is the result of the joint efforts of the two sides after Lu Chen obtained the consent of the two sides. Lu Chen said that within 10 days, he hoped that all parties would obey his orders, and if he couldn't make achievements after 10 days, the 5 underwater islands and reefs, 11 mines, and 24 herb producing areas controlled by the wolf clan would be open to everyone.
"Fight, fight as much as you want, and in the next five days, you have to find a way to destroy more than a million enemies!"
Lu Chen's requirements are very harsh, but Yuwen Demon God, Si Tilting Country, Xuan Wufeng, Glory of Kings, Initial A and others have no opinions.
In the fourth and fifth passages, the crowds were dense and there were many fortifications, and it was only for the two of them to kill nearly two million enemies at the cost of more than 800,000 casualties. But out of the 100,000 mountains, the geographical advantage is much smaller, and the enemy is very scattered.
If you want to kill more than a million enemies in five days, you can only constantly go to the flat ground to fight the enemy in the field and positional battles. And it doesn't matter whether there is a numerical advantage, a geographical advantage, or a time advantage, whether there is a superiority in numbers or not, you have to fight! Only by fighting frantically can it be possible to cause such a killing, and the casualties of one's own side will inevitably be greater.
In order to achieve his goal, Lu Chen handed over all the troops except for the 300,000 garrisons of the three fortresses of the 100,000 Great Mountains to others. But he himself took Lin Xiaowu's thousand-man demon thief group as the core, and formed the first army composed purely of thieves in the history of the starry sky.
Lu Chen did not pay any price, and directly openly recruited thieves in Linhai City. Loose thieves generally don't like to be with the army, preferring to accept NPC assignments as scouts. Because when fighting with an army of more than 1,000 people, thieves are basically useless.
They will be organized together and ordered to flank enemy forces, re-killing classes such as priests and mages. It's a lifeless mission, and the odds of success are low, and both the enemy and your own side are well protected by priests and mages.
Therefore, there were many scattered thieves stranded in Linhai City, and when Lu Chen publicly claimed that he wanted to establish the first army of thieves in the history of the Star War, he easily recruited 30,000 people. When it reached 30,000 people, Lu Chen stopped recruiting.
The name of the Demon Thieves is very loud, and it is the benchmark of the thief profession. When Lu Chen proposed to disperse the 30,000 thieves, led by the members of the Demon Thieves Group, to raid around the wilderness and find an opportunity to kill the enemy, there was basically no opposition.
Lu Chen himself led thirty unfamiliar scattered thieves to the enemy-occupied area outside the river beach fortress in a silver-class catamaran and disembarked. The same is true for the other thief teams, and the number of thieves is arranged according to Lin Xiaowu's suggestion.
People who are good at stealth assassination and like to walk alone, the team size is only ten people. At that time, their mission will only be to disperse in a certain area and kill enemy scouts.
People who are good at teamwork and designing ambush plans have teams between 50 and 100 people, giving leaders more options.
"The enemy was found under the cliff of Songshan Mountain, and the number was between seventy and one hundred." Several thieves who had gone out to spy on the enemy had returned and found Lu Chen, and they were all excited to be able to fight side by side with the gods of war in Linhai City.
"A hundred?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, "Let's go!" I'll attack, you guys will! ”
"! Not a single one to stay! ”
"Keep your eyes open, don't let one go!"
Everyone was very excited, hurriedly gnawed off the cooking in their hands, checked the equipment on their bodies and the props in their backpacks, and then got ready to go. Thieves want to play well, they are very demanding, and one of the most important things is to always be aware of every bit of power they have and use it.
"Still acquaintances!" Lu Chen asked his thirty men to outflank him from all directions, while he waited for a while before bending down and moving quickly among the waist-high artemisia grass.
When he was still nearly 100 meters away from the enemy, Lu Chen saw an old acquaintance, the Wild Marshal!
The last time the wolf fleet was designed, Lu Chen had already found out, and the person who jumped up and down was the wild marshal! This guy changed his nationality before the national war and ran to the Thunder Empire, but he didn't expect to be mixed into the Tenglong Guild!
"What a coincidence..."Lu Chen sneered.
The wild marshal on the other side had not yet perceived the danger, he just looked at the gravel river beach from afar, and sighed about the past. This area can be farmed with a rhino horn material, which is a necessity for players to do a public quest at level 10.
There are a few other sources of this material, but this gravel beach was the territory of a wild empire. At that time, the Wild Empire was still a powerful force, second only to Qingyun Pavilion and the Liangshan Brotherhood in Linhai City.
But now... It's all because of that person! The wild marshal couldn't help but grit his teeth and rattle, he came here this time to follow an internal agent in the river beach fortress to obtain some information such as the defense map, the contradictions and cooperation between the various forces in the fortress.
After the start of the national war, players of different nationalities cannot contact each other even if they add friends, and many things have to be exchanged face-to-face. Once discovered, the recorded video can be reported to the NPC.
When Lu Chen came, because he was the leader of the Southeast Alliance, he routinely inspected the situation of the river beach fortress on the way, and set off again and happened to bump into the wild marshal. I don't know whether to say that Lu Chen was lucky, or that the wild marshal was unlucky.
