Chapter 955: True Purpose
Since the pirate side could not directly and clearly understand the battle situation ahead, the most they could do was to get some information from the commanders in front.
And those commanders often reported good news rather than bad news, and almost every time they said, 'Another victory, the casualties are a bit heavy, as long as you add reinforcements, you can guarantee a complete victory.'" ’
In fact, the reason why these guys say this is a bit of a tiger.
Pirates are not good men and women, especially those pirate leaders, all of them are ruthless, and if the people under them do not do their jobs well, they will definitely be punished with all kinds of cruel punishments.
And the battle has been going on for several hours, and they have already sent a lot of reinforcements in front of them, if they really want to convert them all in, and they still get nothing, this will definitely hurt their vitality.
Those guys in charge of the command on the front line must have absolutely no good fruit to eat, and it is good to lose a small life, maybe they will be brutally made into all kinds of necromantic magic tools, and then be enslaved forever!
In this case, those commanders at the front did not dare to tell the truth, even if they saw that something was wrong.
Because their only hope now is to gather more reinforcements and win this battle in one go.
And if they stop now, then they will really have no way to survive after suffering heavy losses.
And the pirates, who were blinded by the huge benefits they were about to obtain, did not notice anything unusual at all, and thought that the situation on the front line was very good.
In fact, Emperor Shi Tian's fishing operation was not so simple, in order to seduce these guys into being fooled, he really gave up a lot of warships.
At least a thousand troops on the battleship, pretending to be unable to resist, all withdrew, allowing the pirates to capture the entire battleship.
It was this great gain that made the pirates convinced of their victory.
As a result, the follow-up troops of the pirates drove in a steady stream and threw themselves into the meat grinder-like battlefield.
Emperor Shi Tian naturally does not refuse to come, and the more the merrier. The elite soldiers under his command not only have a large number of cannon fodder to charge, but also countless supports.
If there are people and things, how can they be defeated in such a situation?
In fact, if it weren't for Emperor Shakti's order that they must give up some flying warships, I'm afraid that from the beginning to the end, these pirates would not have been able to grab much.
But now, almost every few minutes, Emperor Shi Tian would give up one or two flying warships to them.
Anyway, there are tens of thousands of flying warships on this vast battlefield, not to mention the loss of thousands, as long as Emperor Shi Tian can achieve his strategic goal, it doesn't matter if he throws tens of thousands of ships.
And Emperor Shitian's strategic goal is also very simple, that is, to consume the opponent's living force in this place as much as possible.
You must know that after all, the space of the battleship is limited, and even if some special technology is applied, it is impossible to carry troops endlessly.
In particular, high-level troops must enjoy a certain amount of treatment, so the total number of troops on a battleship is limited.
Generally speaking, the mobile strength on the three-masted battleship is only one or two thousand, and the rest is the technical arms used to maintain and operate the battleship, and the combat effectiveness is negligible.
As for the five-masted battleship, the mobile troops on it can reach three or five thousand, and if the quality of the troops is lower, it is normal to cram seven or eight thousand people.
As for the seven-masted large warships, the mobile troops can easily reach 120,000, 20,000, or 30,000, and even a very few can reach 350,000.
Of course, there are also some special large warships that specialize in carrying troops, which can have an army of more than 100,000 at most.
As for the legendary battleships, because there are spatial folds inside, the number of troops equipped is even more, generally two or three hundred thousand, there are also three and a half million, or even millions of legendary warships, then they belong to the minority.
But in any case, a battleship is a battleship, and there are so many mobile troops on it, and if there are heavy losses, then the defense of these warships themselves will plummet.
Especially when someone jumps the gang, the large long-range firepower on the battleship basically loses its effect, and it can only rely on the self-defense forces on the battleship to resist.
Generally speaking, it is easier to defend the battleship if the self-defense forces on the battleship are prepared and go all out.
Because the space inside the battleship is relatively narrow, it is not conducive to the deployment of large troops, and people are in the home field, not only are they familiar with the terrain, but there are also some alchemy traps that can be used, which will definitely make the strange enemies who come to attack unable to eat and walk around.
And the biggest reason why Emperor Shi Tian's raid was able to go so smoothly this time was that the other party was caught off guard at the beginning.
At least half of their mobile forces were on deck, and when they were attacked, they were wiped out in an instant.
The troops behind didn't know why, so they rushed out stupidly, but they were hit head-on again.
This resulted in the loss of more than half of their mobile forces, as well as the loss of a powerful blocking position on the deck.
This made Emperor Shitian's troops able to break into it very smoothly, and march all the way, as if entering a no-man's land.
But such a sneak attack is obviously impossible to succeed again and again.
Whether it was those pirates or those elite students, all of them were cunning and cunning, and they saw with their own eyes that tens of thousands of warships were suddenly ridden in the face by Emperor Shitian's army, and then collapsed in an instant, so how could they not be guarded?
Anyway, a sneak attack like this, the first time you can take it by surprise, and the second time you come back, it will be too contemptuous, and eighty percent will be yin by others.
Of course, it was impossible for Emperor Shi Tian to make such a low-level mistake, so he only planned to sneak attack for the first time.
This second sneak attack did not hold out this hope at all, nor did he have this intention.
Therefore, Emperor Shi Tian was not in a hurry to end the battle here, but chose to take advantage of the narrow and favorable terrain here to eliminate as much of the opponent's living force as possible.
As long as the mobile strength of these guys is consumed by sixty percent or even seventy percent, then Emperor Shi Tian will not need to sneak attack, and the army will ride you in the face directly, what can you do?
This plan had already been formulated when he came, and it was not a temporary idea of Emperor Shi Tian.
In fact, Emperor Shi Tian retained the habits of the Nether Realm and established a staff department early.
When he decided to come here to fight, Emperor Shi and Princess Lionheart worked out several battle plans.
These battle plans are then divided into different staff groups for discussion and planning, especially to refine the details.
In the end, several different battle plans were formed, which need to be implemented depending on the situation.
And this time, Emperor Shi Tian found that everyone had gathered, but tens of thousands of warships were about to escape, and he felt very unhappy, so he temporarily launched this plan.
Although it was launched on an ad hoc basis, the plan itself had been drawn up long ago, and thousands of staff officers worked together to develop it.
For Emperor Shi Tian, the commander, the battle plan he came up with was actually very simple, that is, to sneak attack first, and then attract other people's new forces as much as possible, eliminate them one by one, and wait until all the mobile troops are almost wiped out, and then they can raid on a large scale.
The flying battleship that did not have enough troops to protect it was simply ready to be captured under the threat of Emperor Shitian's super mobile troops.
However, although the plan that Emperor Shi Tian came up with was simple, it was not so easy to implement.
After all, tens of millions of troops will be dispatched this time, and they will be distributed on the battlefield inside tens of thousands of warships.
If you want the airdropped lightly armed troops to firmly guard the foothold inside the battleship, and can also kill and injure a large number of enemies, then it is inevitable to have material and personnel support in the rear.
Therefore, the most critical part of this battle is the problem of logistics and supply.
Delivering different logistical supplies to tens of thousands of battlefields at the same time is definitely an extremely complex problem.
Moreover, when fighting inside the battleship, the flying troops outside still have to resist, but they cannot defeat it, which will scare the enemy away.
But at the same time, they can't lose themselves, which will allow the opponent's landing force to be airborne directly on the battleship, so as to achieve internal and external flanking attacks, which is simply a nightmare for the troops inside the battleship.
Therefore, for those flying troops, Emperor Shi Tian's side can only take entangled measures, neither can win nor lose, and the proportion must be grasped well.
This is obviously not a simple matter, because this battlefield is so big that it has gradually spread to the extent that it has gradually spread to a radius of nearly 10,000 miles, and there are flying armies fighting each other up and down, left and right, and the entire battlefield is a flat spherical shape, and there are wars everywhere anyway.
In the face of such a complex battlefield, let alone Emperor Shi Tiandi alone, even if he turned it into ten people, it would be impossible to conduct command operations.
Therefore, it is necessary to draw up an operational plan in advance, and then ensure that the combat group of each battleship has a special staff officer in the rear to liaise and support.
At the same time, the flight unit will also be divided into different areas, under the command of different commanders, and at the same time, it will also have to be in close contact with the staff headquarters in the rear, and accept different orders at any time.
In this way, this battle plan cannot be done in a few words.
In fact, just such a plan was enough for thousands of staff officers to work day and night for half a month before it could be regarded as barely accomplished.
Therefore, after the implementation of the plan, Emperor Shitian's side was busy but not chaotic, although the battlefield was scattered, he could contact the rear at any time, and obtain the support of materials and personnel anytime and anywhere.
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Shi Tian's side will gain an advantage in various battlefields with inferior forces, and kill and injure a large number of the opponent's living forces.
Therefore, don't look at Emperor Shi Tian is very idle now, it seems that if he doesn't do anything, he can achieve a brilliant victory on the battlefield.
But in fact, there are tens of thousands of staff officers who are busy behind them, and they have been preparing for half a month in advance to achieve the current level of ease.
