Chapter 170 Attack
Link, who is the leader of the Fifth Regiment, now has the identity to participate in the high-level combat conference of this battle. Link, who appears to be a senior mage, can come because the mage will not participate in such a conference at all, unless the mage has another identity as a senior army leader.
But a mage who is willing to join the army is simply rare. If a mage doesn't keep it closed and does some research, it's still a mage.
Therefore, in the conference room, except for Link who is the senior mage who is the regiment commander, they are all Sacred Domain warriors. It is very common for Sacred Domain warriors to join the military. If Sacred Domain warriors become mercenaries, their income will be higher. However, in the military, Sacred Domain warriors can command thousands of troops, and they can also make some gray income through military forces, which is actually not lower than the income of being mercenaries.
In the front commander-in-chief of the Moor Kingdom, the daily meetings were discussed about how to divide the troops and how to defend. Link was so angry that he listened.
Don’t these people understand that the best defense is attack?
This is not the fault of these natives. The defense side has a certain advantage. Most of the magical instruments that defend the city are very bulky and difficult to transport thousands of miles away to be used as siege.
The attacking side must use more lives to fill in the advantages brought by these magical instruments in the city.
After participating in the three-day dispute meeting of the former enemy command headquarters, Link couldn't sit still. If this continues, let alone Moore, I'm afraid that the State of Zeland will not be able to save it.
That night, Link did not sleep all night and wrote a counterattack plan. Before the regular meeting the next morning, Link handed it over to the front enemy headquarters.
The commander-in-chief of the front enemy was a sacred warrior in his nineties. After reading this counterattack plan, he was almost going to pay homage to Linkner. If he was not a genius strategy expert, he would not be able to write such a wonderful counterattack plan.
If this counterattack plan is successful, the 14-Nation Alliance will be like a fish on a chopping board, and you can slaughter whatever you want.
After reading this counterattack plan, the regular meetings of the front enemy were temporarily cancelled every morning. The front enemy commander sent more senior mages as messengers, asking Shelley and others to send senior mages and mages to the front enemy command headquarters.
Although I don’t understand what the front-end general command is going to do, the front-end general command does have this right.
As a result, thousands of senior mages and hundreds of mages opened the portal to the front command center that day.
Through the intelligence sources of Shelley's country, the main force of the Five-Nation Alliance is still stationed in Shelley City, and will leave Shelley City within one or two days and head south to Moore. This operation was called the Nutcracker tactic by the 14-Nation Alliance - no matter how hard the Huzhu is, he will be smashed by such superior forces on both sides.
The Shelley Kingdom entered the Moor army, and according to the orders of the commander-in-chief of the frontier, the army on the border of the Moor continued to retreat to the depth of the Moor.
On the second day after the Shelley's invaders, the five-nation coalition of the coalition of the five-nation nations moved south from Shelley City, a high-level mage group composed of 1,350 people including Link raided the defenders of Snow White City, the second largest city in Shelley's territory.
This move was designed by Link to send a higher mage group from the coalition attack into the city. Snow White City is also a logistics turnover station for the invading Five-Nation Alliance. There are tens of thousands of troops stationed here, including an ordinary mage group (500 people) and a brigade of higher mages (100 people).
However, the tens of thousands of troops, including the army, are not the opponent of the higher mage group with more than a thousand people. Members of these higher mage groups throw out level 5,6 and seven magic. Although there are hundreds of ordinary mages and one hundred high mages here, they are not the opponent of more than a thousand high mages, and it is still difficult for the higher mages to stay. When the situation is not right, the advanced mages stationed in Snow City all opened the space gate and teleported away.
Regardless of the others running away, the rest of the people were the dishes on the plate. However, for safety, in the thirty minutes after the raid began, Link sent a magic signal to the sky, and the high-level mages that were rising opened the space door to retreat.
The thousands of invaders in Snow White were really crying when they looked at the various military rations and military supplies burning in the warehouse, as well as the bodies of friendly troops everywhere.
After the successful raid, the senior mage group returned to the barracks to repair for two days, and then opened the portal again. This time, more than 2,000 people raided to Shelley City. Shelley City, which was peacefully taken over, is already the largest logistics stronghold of the Five-Nation Alliance. There are two legions of 100,000 (due to dissatisfied due to combat losses), two higher mage groups (also dissatisfied due to combat losses) and eight mages - this also shows the importance the Five-Nation Alliance attaches to this place. The Five-Nation Alliance now has only 48 mages, and there are twenty more people who were transferred after the Battle of Snow City.
The number of mages in inland countries is still not as high as that of the seven western coastal countries.
However, after Link and others teleported over, one of the magicians from Shelley's Kingdom immediately used the level nine magic space lock.
After the military warehouse and defenders in Snow City were raided two days ago, this time, the Five-Nation Alliance, which originally wanted to catch turtles in the jar, sat down again. That's right, the Five-Nation Alliance and even the High-Nation Alliance in the Moor country, were ready to be attacked. Once attacked, the magician would teleport over with the High-Nation Alliance and have a decisive battle with the High-Nation Alliance behind the assault sent by the enemy.
However, once the space gate is blocked, everyone cannot leave it. Even if they see large-scale teleportation leaving as soon as possible, they will not be able to bring people back after releasing the space lock.
Link's tactics are very simple. Since ancient times, there has been no army that does not require logistics at all in war. Even the army of nomadic peoples has to bring craftsmen, herdsmen and livestock to the road together. Although such logistics is simple, it does not require logistics.
Although this move does not seem to be as spectacular as a battle between the big legion on the front battlefield, the most important thing to win is to win. If you can’t win, it’s all fake. The most important thing is to win.
Five advanced mage groups with more than 2,000 people, and fifty mages quickly encircled and suppressed the defenders of Shelley City. Although the number seemed to be a little more people left by the Five-Nation Alliance, the Former General Command of the Moor Kingdom sent half of the mages and almost all the high mage groups this time.
The key targets of dealing with eight hundred high mages and two thousand people, as well as eight magicians, are the targets of attack. The remaining 100,000 troops are just a number, among which some advanced warriors and sacred domain powerhouses can pose a little threat to the high mages and magicians, but they will soon be blown into ashes in the rain of various magic.
When the effect of the space lock magic disappeared, dozens of magicians who rushed over discovered that the supplies and personnel of the five-nation coalition forces in Shelley City were basically burned out. Finally, through sorting, more than 30,000 people who escaped into the house to escape their lives survived, eight magicians died, and few high-level mages and ordinary mages survived.
There is induction magic in magic. The original magic fluctuations in the magician's body cannot escape this trick of sensing magic, so ordinary warriors may survive when they hide, but it is useless to hide no matter how the magician hides. Under magical sensing, the magician is like a beacon in the darkness.
In fact, ordinary mages and advanced mages ran away dozens of people through flight techniques, and Link and others caught up with some. Before the space lock disappeared, Link and others had no time to chase them, but left the city first and then prepared to escape.
In Link's view, senior mages and mages who can open space gates should actually be used as high-motorized power. In fact, the Five-Nation Alliance used it very well before, but later I was careless and thought that sending one or two high-level mage groups could solve the battle. As a result, they did not get into the trap, and even used a spell magic trick of space locks that no one in the Five-Nation Alliance could do. They brought a turtle in a jar to catch turtles in the teleportation regiment and suffered huge losses.
For example, when the second raid on Shelley City, Link brought only fifty mages, that is, half of the mages under the command of the Moore State's front enemy commander, because he was afraid that the two coalition forces would not return to Shelley City to raid the general command of the coalition forces in the Moore State's coalition forces. There were fifty mages in charge and tens of thousands of ordinary mages. Even if they raided, the final result might not be good. The best situation was that both sides suffered losses.
The last two invaders' coalition command centers also did not open a portal to the Moor State's front command center because the situation was unclear. What if it was a trap, all the high mages and mages would be lost. The battle will be fought, and it will be enough to directly surrender and cede land and pay compensation. Who will bear such a great responsibility?
Link dared to raid behind enemy lines because of the remaining situation in Shelley's territory, and he got the number and information of the defenders. It was reckless to raid rashly.
After Link's counterattack plan organized two raids, the Five-Nation Alliance lost three dissatisfied legions, five ordinary mages, two higher mages, and eight treasured mages.
The five-nation coalition unit that was heading south was originally intended to attack Moore, but because of these two raids, they lost too much food, so they had to stop and retreat to Shelley City to re-establish the supply line.
As an invader, the five-nation coalition forces had just entered the territory of Shelley, and less than a month after entering Shelley City, and had not completed the rule of Shelley. Without completing the rule, there was no way to collect taxes and food here.
Most of the food and grass of the five-nation coalition forces were transported thousands of miles from the five countries they sent to the army through land transportation, and some were purchased from the local area. However, the people of Shelley had no good expressions towards the invaders. However, the cities that were attacked or voluntarily gave up, military rations had been transported and exported long ago. Those who had not been transported and exported were also burned before the city was broken.
Because leaving behind military supplies such as food and other military supplies after the defeat was an act of investing in the enemy, it must be burned. Military supplies that cannot be burned must also be destroyed. There are many coalition forces, and it is okay to say before entering the territory of Shelley, but after entering the territory of the enemy, it has become increasingly difficult to transport military supplies. The millions of troops of the Five-Nation Alliance seem majestic, but millions of people eat horses every day, and the food and grass they eat every day is also astronomical.
Link's move raided the logistics point behind the enemy and directly burned down the military rations of the Five-Nation Alliance for one and a half months.
The military rations at the hands of the Five-Nation Alliance suddenly dropped to a precarious level, and then stopped moving forward to the south, then retreated back to Shelley City to reorganize the supply line.
But the most important problem is that destruction is easy and difficult to build. No one can prevent thousands of advanced mages and dozens of mages from raiding a logistics base or a transportation team in the rear.
Because we can always get news about the transport team and logistics point from the internal situation system of Shelley, the high mage group here and some of the people went out every few days to conduct long-distance teleportation of the Five-Nation Alliance's transport team and logistics point. This kind of fighting style is secondary to how many enemies are killed. The important thing is to make the front-line troops of the Five-Nation Alliance not have enough food.
However, the commander-in-chief of the Five-Nation Alliance made a calculation again. Unless most of the magicians and magicians were sent out to accompany the army to transport military rations, this attack on the logistics supply line could be stopped.
But the problem is, after sending all the magicians and magicians in their hands to protect the supply line, who can protect the safety of their front-line command? Next time the enemy raids the front-line command, who will block it? This is really a problem.
The troops of the Five-Nation Alliance are not completely unable to receive military rations. There are many senior mages and mages here. Opening a portal to bring food back from their home country is also a feasible way. However, this behavior is only a treatment for the symptoms but not the root cause. First of all, the number of senior mages and mages is limited, and it is impossible to satisfy the full consumption of millions of soldiers. However, at least officers, mages and others do not have to go hungry.
The soldiers were hungry and naturally could not defend any military laws, so they had to go to Shelley's house to grab bread and meat to eat. The officers just turned a blind eye. The situation in front of them was that the army could not feed the soldiers, and they could not let the soldiers starve to death. Just grab a little. Anyway, everyone had fought several battles, and both sides suffered heavy losses. The hatred formed by both sides with blood was really higher than the sky and deeper than the sea.
The five-nation coalition forces have not thought of sending high mage groups and mages to the enemy behind Moor to launch a raid on the grain transport teams in Moor. However, one is because of insufficient intelligence, and the other is that the number of investigators sent over the past has not seen large-scale military food transportation.
