21. Bloody Battle All the Way (6)
Han Wenzheng commanded the fleet to temporarily station at the exit of the Split Mountain Gorge and readjust the strategy, he realized that it was no longer safe to just go by water, the elves were not good at water warfare, and besides, the Great Wall was not able to protect so many ships, and once the enemy blocked the river, the Great Wall would have no problem, but the ships of the elves would not be able to run away even if they were afraid of one, this time it was the best proof that this time the Yanhuang clan had exposed the killer feature of Tianxin Bean, and next time, the enemy would definitely be stronger, so how to go was also a big problem。
After some discussion, Han Wenzheng decided to divide the elves into two, drawing three from the five elven divisions, plus two reserve divisions, a total of 50,000 people by land, and the rest continued to take the waterway, so that the troops of the five divisions on the shore could also be within the protection range of the Great Wall, and after the loss of 50,000 ships, the Great Wall's ability to protect the remaining ships was also strengthened a lot.
In response to the change of the plan, Han Wenzheng also decided to make a big deal for a while, let Bai Yan go out and find the leader of the Warcraft from the Xiling Mountain Range in the Split Mountain Gorge, and Han Wenzheng personally went out to negotiate, after some hard negotiations, selected 100,000 Warcraft with more than eighth-level strength from the Xiling Mountain Range to join the ranks, so that the five divisions on the shore will change from infantry to cavalry, and the strength of these 100,000 Warcraft is not weak, and it can also greatly enhance the strength of the coalition army.
Because the number of demonic beasts in the Xiling Mountain Range exceeded Han Wenzheng's imagination, Han Wenzheng decided to select 50,000 of the stronger ones from the elves to join the ranks of the land route, so that of the 380,000 elf clans, 100,000 people will go by land, and 280,000 people will continue to take the water route. I believe that with the protection of 100,000 demonic beasts, the elves on the land route will have a certain amount of self-protection even if there is a large-scale attack by the enemy.
Among the 100,000 Warcraft, there are as many as 5,000 flying Warcraft, which is equivalent to 5,000 more reconnaissance troops, which greatly improves the reconnaissance capability of the coalition forces and gives the coalition forces a lot more time for early warning. Through a series of adjustments, the strength of the coalition army has been greatly enhanced, of course, the consumption of materials will also increase several times, the elves can not need a lot of food, but, 100,000 monsters can not eat meat, supply has become a big problem, although most of these monsters are relatively strong, the meat they need is about the same as a person, ten catties and eight catties a day is enough, but, after all, a relatively large number is needed, in order to supply, the speed of the coalition this time is not fast, at least along the road to supply, the emperor can not send hungry soldiers。
The fleet began to continue westward, and there were still more than 30,000 kilometers to go to the sea. Fortunately, they are all in the territory of the Tianguang Empire, and the towns along the way did not say that the coalition troops were not allowed to enter the city for supplies, and the Yanhuang clan had gold coins, and they all entered the city when they saw it along the way, and the meat and the like that could be purchased were purchased, as for things like stored space rings, they were rare in other races, but, in the Yanhuang clan, it was one person, and even, Qian Tiexin and others made a lot along the way, and also gave a troop to the elf clan, anyway, it didn't need any particularly precious materials to make it, it was very cheap, and it was not worth anything to send tens of thousands。
The Great Wilderness, located on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Tianling River, is 20,000 kilometers away from the mouth of the sea, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, a weedy land in the middle, the total length from the entrance to the exit reaches more than 600 kilometers, the entrance is called Tianhuang Gorge, the exit is called the Land Wilderness Gorge, the area of the entire Great Wilderness reaches more than 30,000 square kilometers, extending more than 500 kilometers from the river bank to the land, the middle woods and weeds are everywhere, higher than the human head, even if there are millions of troops here, it can be easily hidden, and what is more absolutely is that there is no human population in the Great Wilderness, it is a barren land.
The cavalry of the 100,000 elves marched west along the north bank of the Tianling River, and the Great Wilderness was the only way to go. Because on the south bank opposite the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain range that stretches for thousands of kilometers, although the mountain range is not as steep as the Xiling Mountains, it is difficult for people and horses to walk, therefore, whether it is west or east, the Great Wilderness is the only way to pass, if you don't take the Great Wilderness, you have to take a detour, which is at least 3,000 kilometers away, and besides, the cavalry of the 100,000 elves left the protection of the Great Wall, I am afraid that it will be more dangerous. And here, it is most suitable for large-scale cavalry battles, cavalry battlefields.
Han Wenzheng stared at the map and said, "If I were the commander of the other party, I would definitely not let go of the Great Wasteland." "Father, although the Great Wasteland is a flat river here, there is no danger to defend, we have 100,000 cavalry, and the mounts are powerful magical beasts, if the enemy army wants to eat us, we must use more than 200,000 elites, will they ambush us here?" Sun Tiejian asked puzzledly, how do you think the Great Wasteland is not a good ambush place.
Han Wenzheng shook his head and said: "You see, the two ends of the Great Wasteland are two canyons, as long as the enemy seals the two canyons, we will become a turtle in the urn, and we can't run away if we want to, if they hide a million cavalry in the Great Wasteland, our army's 100,000 cavalry will definitely not be an opponent, once the army is surrounded by the enemy's heavy troops, we have to give in." ”
Yes, if the elven clan's 100,000 land routes are surrounded by millions of enemy troops, Han Wenzheng will be afraid that he will be afraid even if he wants to fight, in comparison, the value of the demon god armor is definitely not comparable to the life of the 100,000 elf clan, at that time, is there still a choice for him?
All the people in the war room were silent for a while, and after a while, Luo Gu Shi said: "Patriarch, what should we do? Won't we go to the Great Wasteland?" "No, the Great Wasteland still has to go, but, depending on how to go, they have a million army, and we are not afraid of them, I am afraid that they do not have so many people, this battle, I want to see what tricks they can play." Han Wenzheng said confidently.
Qiushui whispered, "Husband, what are you thinking?" The other elf clan also looked at Han Wenzheng, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd. Han Wenzheng smiled and said, "Tie Xin, have you finished practicing the Bagua Dragon Formation?" "Father, I have already practiced, but it will take a certain amount of time to make 80,000 people set up in the formation." Qian Tiexin said, "If you want to set up such a big array, I'm afraid that the child will not be able to do it." "Defenseless, the Bagua Dragon Formation doesn't need any formation diagrams or the like, just move and attack, I believe in your ability, you pick out eight brothers to come out, and when the time comes, we will use 80,000 people to fight with their million-strong army, and see if they have more people or our formation is stronger." "Good job, father. ”
Han Wenzheng said again: " As for the water war, I estimate that the enemy army will only send some ships to intercept the two canyons, and will not really fight a water war with us, so we don't have to worry too much about the water war, plus there is the Great Wall, the general enemy warships are only sent to death, the Great Wilderness is wide and deep, as long as all the ships are concentrated around the Great Wall, the Great Wall should be able to protect all the ships, the victory or defeat of this battle lies in the army, Tiexin, you are the first time to shoot, you can't lose our face. Han Wenzheng still admonished. "Father, don't worry, the child promises not to let you down. Qian Tiexin replied firmly.
On November 25, 124 years of the New Earth Calendar, the coalition fleet and army units entered the Tianhuang Gorge and advanced in the direction of the Earth Barren Gorge, and countless aerial scouts flew up and laid the most rigorous reconnaissance, as long as there was an enemy within 100 kilometers, they could be discovered, so as to eliminate the possibility of a sneak attack by the enemy. And the vigilance of each is mentioned to the highest, and the enemy army may appear at any time.
In the depths of the Great Wasteland, a masked man said: "It seems that the Yanhuang Clan has been prepared for a long time, looking at their formation, they are ready for battle, even if we attack, we can't bargain for anything, let's cancel this plan." The order goes down and cancels the plan for this attack. ”
"Slow. A big man in silver armor beside him said, "Your Excellency, although you are the supreme commander, you can't change the plan casually, we have mobilized 800,000 troops for this plan, if we give up like this, wouldn't it make those dark sinners make fun of it." "Oh, Calle, do you disagree with my opinion?" "Saint, I'm just giving an opinion, if you must insist on your own opinion, I will report it to Your Majesty, you can do it yourself." "Well, I'll hand over the command of this battle to you, I don't care about everything, you have to help me testify." The guy who was called the Holy shrugged his shoulders easily, and just handed over the command to Lu.
Calle was stunned, he never imagined that the Holy Society would hand over the command so easily, and now, if he was to be the master, he would have a problem, whether to attack or retreat? Attack, what if he was defeated? Then his life's future would be over, retreat? He had already said a big thing just now, if he said retreat now, would he still have the face to see people in the future? He hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, I don't dare to ask for your command, this ....... "I'll never take back what I handed over, I'm gone, you can do it." "This saint has disappeared in a flash, and when he appeared, he was already ten miles away, and in a flash, he had disappeared thirty miles away, although this hand was not as good as the teleportation of the heavenly soldiers, but the power was absolutely good, it is certain that with this hand, the strength of this saint lord is definitely super god-level, and even a god-level master, such a master is definitely not many in the Western Continent.
The saint left like this, Calle was dumbfounded, what should he do now? In front of everyone's eyes, he had no other way to go, at this moment, he really wanted to kill this saint, but he could only think about it, and in desperation, he could only stand up and shout: "Pass on the order of the saint, and the whole army will act according to the plan." "Yes. A person next to him agreed, and as soon as he raised his hand, a magic spell was released, soaring straight into the sky more than ten kilometers high, with bright colors, which was the signal for the beginning of the plan.
For a time, the three-way ambush appeared, killing from the eastern, central, and western roads, and killing the elven army a hundred kilometers away, with 100,000 in the middle road, 150,000 in the west, and 550,000 in the middle road. All of them are cavalry, and looking at their mounts, all of them are demonic beasts above level five, which shows how strong their strength is. In the two canyons, a lot of warships also appeared, and they began to block the river, as Han Wenzheng expected, he really wanted to catch turtles in the urn.
800,000 cavalry formed an attack front with a width of hundreds of kilometers, which was just killed, but seeing the dust flying, countless birds and beasts were so frightened that they scattered and fled, and there was only the sound of thunderous iron hooves on the ground between heaven and earth, and the killing intent soared to the sky.
