Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 617: The attack is ahead of schedule

Just after breakfast, without any warning, the Luhua Army urgently summoned its troops. What happened in the Luo Ze Empire had already reached his ears.

This is an unprecedented opportunity.

Especially the Eastern Second Army, they saw a huge hole suddenly opened in the towering city wall being built by the Luo Ze Empire, and decided to launch an attack in advance.

In December, winter is already cold enough. The soldiers of the Luoze Empire who are not used to the severe cold have already put on plush coats, and their overall mobility has been greatly reduced.

Climbing or destroying city walls often required a lot of troops in the past, but this time it seems that it is not so necessary this time.

As for the collapse of the walls of the Luoze Empire, whether it was because of shoddy construction or because someone was sabotaging it, it doesn't matter at all.

Due to the changes in the tactics of the recapture battle, the original plan of Yang Yu and the Fifth West Army was also disrupted.

As a centurion, Yang Yu also knew the battle plan of the Fifth Western Army.

The Luhua Army sent troops to attack the Longshoe area. They first recaptured a few small areas that were easier to recapture and built temporary strongholds. Then they tried to conduct tentative attacks on several important areas occupied by the Luoze Empire to find out more about it. The basic defenses of each city are prepared, and at the same time, a certain degree of harassment is also carried out.

It sounds simple, but in practice it is difficult to implement.

If you're not careful, trying to figure out your opponent's offense can turn into a pure act of giving away kills.

After a certain amount of information is obtained, the troops that attack first will hand over the real offensive task to General Luhua Army and other generals.

In addition, sending the deputy general to conduct a reconnaissance attack also gives the recruits time to familiarize themselves with the military camp.

According to Luhua Army’s observation, as long as the recruits stay in the army for one month and given appropriate pressure to the recruits, the attrition of the recruits during the winter offensive will be reduced sharply from 50% to 60% to 30%. If the recruits can be allowed to stay for three months The above will further reduce the loss of recruits and control the loss to less than 20%.

Unfortunately, the battlefield is constantly changing, and plans often fail to keep up with the changes.

In actual combat, there is not so much time for new recruits to adapt.

This is the case now.

The new recruits are a little behind in terms of resisting pressure and coordinating operations, but they are not allowed to continue to adapt.

The Luhuajun took away the pipe he smoked, stubbed out the burning tobacco with his fingers, and looked at the assembled troops at the city gate.

After the Ya generals reported the situation of their respective units, Luhuajun stood in front of the stage and gave a speech.

He had already discussed the specific combat matters with other generals and dozens of generals overnight.

The Fifth West Army, including the new recruits, has a total of about 110,000 people. This time they will be divided into three armies. They will launch attacks from three directions in the Boots area, directly poking at the weak defenses of the Luoze Empire.

Basically every location to be attacked? They sent scouts in advance to conduct reconnaissance.

If military mobilization occurs in the lightly guarded city strongholds on the road, they can detect it immediately and change the target immediately.

The battle plan of the Fifth Western Army is very simple. First capture small cities, block heavily defended large cities, and make them isolated and helpless, and then slowly digest these large cities.

Such a combat plan certainly has its drawbacks.

To put it simply, if you have a big appetite and swallow too many solid cities that are difficult to handle at once, you will easily be overwhelmed.

During the winter offensives in recent years, situations like this have happened from time to time.

However, for now, this is the tactic with the highest success rate in winter offensives.

After all, it’s on a plain? It’s very difficult to do something with the terrain or various materials.

The Luoze Empire is also very aware of this. The key plain cities are heavily guarded and have abundant supplies, which are enough to support the Luoze Empire's spring and summer offensive.

Is it extremely time-consuming to gnaw down those cities? If you are not careful, you will be dragged through the winter, which is beneficial to the orcs.

So many cities were excluded from the list that must be fought for from the beginning? Even if they are in strategic locations.

Of course? If there is a chance, the Western Fifth Army will still give priority to occupying those cities, reduce the game on the battlefield, ensure no worries, and advance steadily.

In the impression of the Luhua Army, their Western Fifth Army had only once completely recaptured the Boots area and invaded the Fengmang area.

That time, there seemed to be some problems within the Luo Ze Empire, and His Majesty the Lion was personally supervising the battle.

Without these two things, to be honest, the Luhua Army doesn’t know what this year’s war situation will be like.

The situation in the country is getting worse and worse. I am afraid that there are not many opportunities left to retake the plains. One use is less than one use. What is even more frightening is that they do not know how many times are left. Perhaps, this is the only time left.

The Luhua Army, which was standing on the city gate for mobilization, was giving a speech while also observing the troops.

After spending time together day and night, almost all the soldiers felt the importance of this war. The depressive atmosphere among the Fifth Western Army was much heavier than that of all previous winter offensives.

Now the Luhua Army does not ask anyone to perform exceptionally. It only hopes that they can perform normally and not die too much. It is enough.

“Speaking of which, people with potential are most likely to emerge from the recruit team that is under the most pressure.

Unfortunately, it seems that there is no longer any opportunity for these newcomers to grow. ”

Without showing any emotion on his face, the Luhua Army finished his speech, and then the superiors at all levels issued tasks to their subordinates, lined them up, and prepared to set off.

New tasks also appeared on Yang Yu’s panel:

[War Mission

Faction: Wansheng Kingdom

Mission requirements: Collaborate to capture Kumquat City in Area 213.

Reward: Experience? ? ? ? ,gold? ? ? ? , the number of draws? ? ? , the favor and trust of certain characters (based on the contributions made by you and your troops)]

Although it is not mentioned in the mission, the goodwill and trust of certain characters are undoubtedly the key to helping complete the promotion mission. Big shots will never leave the troops in the hands of untrustworthy people.

After closing the panel and receiving instructions from his superiors, Yang Yu adjusted his team and marched with the large troops to the front line.

On the same day, on the frontal battlefield on the east side, the Second Front Army for the Recapture War had already assembled. In front of them was a cold river with countless thin ice floating on it, and a door that was so wide open that it shattered the city wall.

A lion-eared young man was riding on a huge bear-shaped monster and was among the team, staring at the city wall that suddenly collapsed with a huge gap for some reason, and the migrant workers and guards who were nervously repairing it. The magician of the Luoze Empire who broke the city wall.

The general leading the Second Front Army gave his final battle instructions, but the lion-eared young man failed to listen to a few words.

He now wants to cross the river as soon as possible, break into the Fengmang area, and end this war.

Then, using his achievements as a bargaining chip, he begged the king of Wansheng Kingdom to grant him a marriage regardless of his family's pedantic rules.

The training finally ended, and the generals leading the Eastern Second Army issued orders, and the entire army took the lead in launching an attack towards the gap that had appeared not long ago.
