Chapter 168: Attack while you're hungry
"This?" the water blue mage immediately understood, and then said in surprise, "Is there still a spell casting unit in it?"
"That's almost certain, even Lord Doug has a group of a hundred mages, how can Overlord Flower be worse than him?" Emperor Shi Tian said lightly, "It is conservatively estimated that there must be one or two squads of spell-casting troops in the Beastmaster City. ”
"Then why didn't we meet in the battle ahead?" asked the Aqua Blue Mage curiously.
"The outer city is so big, what's the use of one or two squads?" Emperor Shi Tian said: "And our attack is too fast and too sharp, they don't dare to send out their precious spell-casting troops, and they must all be kept in the inner city." ”
"With one or two squads, my mage group can fight against them. Master Shui Lan immediately said with confidence.
"Well, I know!" Emperor Shi Tian smiled, "But if you fight against them, how can you release the illusion legion spell?"
"This~" The water blue mage was immediately speechless.
Emperor Shakti then said, "So, your mission is not to release the Legion of Illusions to help in the battle, but to cover the army across the moat. ”
"Is it to freeze the river with ice spells?" said the water blue mage with a frown, "We can do it reluctantly, but we are afraid that we will be attacked by the other party's spells and catapults in the process of crossing the river." ”
"Their spell-casting troops, just hand them over to Aladdin to contain!" Emperor Shi Tian, you have the face to say to Aladdin.
When Aladdin heard this, he was immediately stunned, and then said with a face full of embarrassment: "The opponent's spell-casting class must be hiding in the core of the inner layer, with the help of the altar and the pool of magic power, it has a high spell range, and it is surrounded by all masters, I can't kill them alone with thousands of horses and thousands of troops to contain them, right?"
"Are you stupid?" Emperor Shi Tian said with hatred of iron and steel, "Don't you know what it means to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and what is to attack the enemy and save it?"
"What do you mean?" Aladdin asked, blankly.
"It means that you don't need to rush into the inner city at all, as long as you keep throwing poison clouds into the densely populated areas of the inner layer outside, you can complete the task of containing them. Emperor Shi Tian explained helplessly.
"Ah~" Aladdin suddenly realized: "Can you still do this?"
The others also immediately understood what Emperor Shi Tian meant, as long as the green poisonous gas kept breaking out in the memory, then the opponent's spell-casting class must first go to these poisonous gases to save their own soldiers.
In this way, they no longer have the ability to do anything else, after all, Aladdin's Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Sword can instantly send five poisonous cloud techniques, and it will definitely take a lot of effort to get rid of them all.
Of course, in this open-air environment, the lethality of the poison cloud technique will definitely not be particularly large, and the orcs are not fools, after being shrouded in the poison cloud, they will definitely want to escape, as long as they hold their breath and escape from the range of the poison cloud, they will be safe and sound.
So when attacking the outer city, this trick is of no use at all?, at most, it plays a role in driving away the enemy, and it is difficult to kill many orcs in the vast outer city.
However, the inner city is different, the outer city is twenty or thirty kilometers deep, but the inner city is only seven or eight kilometers, and it is occupied by many buildings.
As a result, there aren't many areas where the orc army can gather, and once these areas are covered by the poison cloud technique, then the orcs don't even have a place to flee.
Therefore, the commander of the other party must not allow such a thing to happen, and they will definitely dispatch spell casting troops to disperse the poisonous clouds in the inner city.
And in this way, the precious spell-casting class is equivalent to being completely restrained by Aladdin alone.
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were full of admiration when they looked at Emperor Shitian.
Emperor Shi Tian continued indifferently, "In addition, Master Shuilan, you are wrong again, we don't need to freeze the entire moat, not to mention wasting mana, it is easy to expose the troops to the opponent's long-range attack, which is similar to looking for death." ”
"What do you mean?" asked the Aqua Mage curiously.
"I need you to create a fog desperately, not only to envelop the entire river, but also to keep the fog infiltrating and spreading into the inner layers, preferably the entire inner city. Emperor Shi Tian said, "In this way, their long-range weapons such as siege crossbows and catapults will be useless, but our cave man archers, and even tentacle Ji, will not be affected in the slightest." ”
"Understood!" Master Shui Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but say: "My lord is really powerful, after the other party's spell casting class is contained, no one will crack the fog technique created by our mage group, with the help of the abundant water resources in the moat, at most half an hour, I can guarantee that the entire inner city will be shrouded in fog." ”
"Very good!" Emperor Shi Tian nodded, "Then please!"
"It's an honor for my subordinates!" said the Water Blue Mage hurriedly.
"But, how did our army cross the river?" asked the Kasro Rune Master with a sudden frown.
But when he asked this question, he suddenly noticed that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, as if he had asked an extremely stupid question.
Kasro Rune Master couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment, and then smiled bitterly, "Did I say something wrong?"
"You just forgot about the strongest mage group we have in our hands!" reminded the water blue mage with a smile.
"The strongest mage group?" "Kasro Rune Master was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Ah, I understand, is it the Pure Earth Mage Group led by the Lord Monarch himself?"
Although the earth-based monks under Emperor Shakti's command practiced earth-based spells from the East, they all claimed to be earth-based mages from the West on the surface, so as to prevent others from seeing loopholes.
After all, Master Kasro Rune was a newcomer, and Emperor Shi Tian didn't dare to trust him too much, so he hid these things from him.
But the power of the earth monks, the Kasro rune master is clear.
After a whole year of development, the number of earth cultivators under the command of Emperor Shi Tian has skyrocketed to more than a hundred.
As the descendants of Emperor Shitian, their degree of faith is the highest, and the treatment they enjoy is naturally the highest.
Not only is there enough bronze law coins to assist in cultivation, but everyone has an earth spirit bead as a natal magic weapon.
Therefore, although they formed the army relatively late, their mana was very strong.
Especially after the three earth-based avengers also joined, this pure earth-based mage group became extremely strong, and its combat effectiveness far surpassed that of the water blue mage group and the rune mage group, and it was the strongest existence among the three major mage groups.
And the earth mage group is not only strong in combat, but the most important thing is their auxiliary ability, especially the ability of earth work, which can be called against the sky.
These people can build a very strong castle in a day.
How could it be difficult for them to have a single moat? If they wanted to, they could fill in the entire moat in a few minutes at most.
Of course, there is no need for this, it is enough to build dozens of bridges.
Everyone ate and drank like this, and soon set the battle plan.
Originally, Emperor Shi Tian planned to rest for two or three hours before attacking, but at this time, the person in charge of reconnaissance sent him new news.
Emperor Shi Tian suddenly perked up, and then excitedly threw away the meat and bones in his hands, and laughed: "Hurry up and finish the last bit, and then take a little rest and attack immediately." ”
"Huh?" Long Pao Ji immediately asked puzzledly, "Just after a big battle, is it okay for more than two hours?" But now that I have only rested for less than an hour, why do you suddenly change your mind to attack?"
"The guy across from you is cooking!" said Emperor Shi Tian with a wicked smile.
"Ah~" The people around him were speechless for a while, feeling that this lord was really a little funny.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing to criticize about Emperor Shitian's approach.
As the so-called two armies are at war, they do everything they can.
Now that my army is full, but you've just cooked, how can I not beat you up while you're hungry?
Don't underestimate the difference in this meal, it is reflected in the actual combat effectiveness, and it can even widen the gap by two or three percent.
A well-fed warrior is full of strength and spirit.
However, the strength of a hungry warrior will definitely not be able to be exerted to the extreme, and it will be reduced by two percent, to say the least, and the hungry belly will also affect the spirit, which will make them listless.
Especially the orcs, who are stronger, also need to consume more energy, and once the food can't keep up, then they will be affected even more.
So there is no doubt that it is definitely the best choice to attack while you are full and the other party is hungry.
And if you want to delay for another hour, the other party will be full, and then the two sides will be on the same starting line, wouldn't you miss the best opportunity to attack?
As a veteran and despicable and filthy Emperor Shitian, he naturally will not let go of this opportunity, he doesn't care what others think, and the most important thing is to be able to win.
So, just ten minutes later, the well-fed and well-fed army of Emperor Shi Tian stood up one after another and began to assemble their equipment for battle.
And at this time, the orcs on the opposite side were dumbfounded.
In fact, when Emperor Shi suddenly appeared and attacked, these guys had already eaten for a long time, but they hadn't eaten yet.
And Emperor Shitian's sudden attack disrupted the rhythm of their lives, and the onslaught of more than two hours made them miss their meals all of a sudden.
It wasn't until Emperor Shakti's army stopped attacking and began to eat that the orcs in the inner city suddenly realized that they hadn't eaten for a long time, and many people were so hungry that their stomachs were growling.
At this time, the other side also stopped attacking, so these orc troops also began to light a fire and cook.
However, the inner city should not have accommodated so many troops, and it could only feed 10,000 people normally, but now it has a full 30,000 mouths, where can it be supplied for a while?
The little cooked food that could be eaten at any time was also swept away by the powerful warriors.
The rest is raw food and must be cooked before it can be eaten.
