Last Totem Novel - Chapter 596
Chapter 596 Tactics
Six hours later, the four armies arrived at the northern bank of the Nether River. They were divided into four armies: the left, the middle, the right, and the rear, slowly advancing towards the front.
After the troops started their operation, Bai Xiaotian came to look for Tie Zha. The two sat on the jeep and chatted in a low voice.
“The other side urged us to complete the mission as soon as possible. I temporarily shirked it because I didn’t find a suitable opportunity.” Bai Xiaotian said.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded and looked at the former, waiting for him to continue. The Seven Killing Legion had accepted the task of assassinating Hildebrand Sujia, so they naturally had to face the pressure of their superiors. It wasn’t hard to guess that his next topic was definitely related to the future camp.
“Our boss is an adjutant of the 6th Brigade of the 5th expeditionary army. He’s probably one of Captain Mason March’s men.” Bai Xiaotian speculated.
“Eliminate dissidents?” Tie Zha asked.
“That’s about it, but Mason March alone shouldn’t dare to kill the squadron leader. I’m worried that the person behind him is the Heavenly Chooser of the Greybird Family.” Bai Xiaotian revealed a worried expression.
“Will it involve such a high level?” Tie Zha asked curiously, “No matter what Hilbrand said, he is only the squadron leader of the expeditionary army. To those big shots in the upper echelons, he can’t pose a threat at all.”
“You can’t say that” Bai Xiaotian shook his head and said, “I’ve read his information. He’s a member of the princess faction, and I’m afraid he’ll be used again in the future. Killing the threat in its infancy is very much in line with the style of the nobles.”
“Then” Bai Xiaotian looked at Tie Zha with a hesitant expression.
“Please speak.” Tie Zha gestured.
Bai Xiaotian hesitated for a moment and said, “If we go back on our word halfway, we will surely suffer their revenge. Therefore, we want to join you.” He added in an even stronger tone, emphasizing, “Join in in the real sense.”
“Hmm” Tie Zha pondered for a long time and asked, “Do you want to join us or the Snake Race regime?”
“Aren’t they all the same?” Bai Xiaotian was stunned. In his eyes, the other party’s ability to directly invite the Snake Sect Holy Maiden was definitely very close.
“Of course not. We are both friends and opponents.” Tie Zha simply summed it up.
“Ah” Bai Xiaotian was shocked, and then he asked, “Then what are you …” Since you can be called opponents, the two sides must be evenly matched. Behind the Black Wolf Mercenary Corps, there was probably a super power.
“It’s just a mercenary group. Don’t think too much.” Tie Zha said indifferently.
“This” Bai Xiaotian was completely dumbfounded. Although his first reaction was that it was unlikely, the other party’s tone did not seem to be fake.
“But you don’t have to worry. After the war is over, I will tell the Snake Clan’s Holy Daughter to give you the appropriate protection.” Said Tie Zha.
“Then … thank you so much.” Bai Xiaotian said with a grateful expression as he clasped his fists. Then, he hesitated for a moment and asked, “Big brother, which side are you from? Is it convenient to reveal a bit?” He then explained, “If there is any conflict in the future, we can avoid it as soon as possible.”
Tie Zha thought for a moment and asked, “Do you really want to know?”
Bai Xiaotian was a smart person, so he naturally understood the meaning behind his words. Knowing their identities might not be a good thing. After pondering for a long time, Bai Xiaotian finally gritted his teeth and said, “We are brothers who are fighting side by side now. Perhaps we will die here tomorrow. How can we not know who our brothers are?”
“Are you sure?” Tie Zha asked again.
“I’m sure.” Bai Xiaotian firmly nodded.
“Alright.” After Tie Zha finished speaking, he took out a badge from his inner pocket and handed it over. Bai Xiaotian took it and began to carefully examine it.
There was a wolf head carved on the scratched badge, and the wolf bit three swords in its mouth.
Not long after, Bai Xiaotian recognized him. First, he was shocked. His eyes were wide open with an expression of disbelief. Then, he quickly calmed down. As he returned the badge, he lowered his voice and asked, “Are you from the Temple of Glory?”
Tie Zha did not answer, but looked at him quietly.
Bai Xiaotian loosened his body and leaned back in his chair. No wonder the other party said that they were both friends and opponents of the Sun Serpent Sect.
After a moment of daze, he suddenly remembered the newspaper from the previous year. He remembered that the other party had been wearing sunglasses. A flash of light flashed in his mind, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Could you be the Thunderhammer Thief, Tie Zha?”
This time, it was Tie Zha’s turn to be shocked. He wasn’t the only one who had a brilliant fire seed. Why did it associate with him? Thinking carefully, Tie Zha was covered in cold sweat. He did not dare to show his true colors. As long as others knew that he was a fire seed, they would associate him with the Thunder Hammer Thief.
“I’d like to see the legendary lightning hammer.” He quietly denied.
“Alright” Bai Xiaotian sighed. “No matter what, as long as it’s the people from the Temple of Glory, they’ll always be brothers to us from the Far East.” As he said this, his eyes turned red and he looked elsewhere.
Snow mist pervaded the icy plains, and the rumbling of engines echoed endlessly. It was people and vehicles traveling in the snow.
Bai Xiaotian muttered to himself, “If possible, I really want to return to that era and experience the prosperous era of our Far East …” His voice was very small, filled with both emotions and sighs.
It was the dream of the people of the Far East. Prosperity, strength, pride, pride.
A few hours later, when the Quartet arrived at the frontlines and set up camp, Mason March learned about the Seven Kills Legion from the adjutants.
“They will pay the price for this!” Mason gritted his teeth and pounded on his desk with a muffled thud.
“Should we wait any longer? Perhaps they really didn’t have the right opportunity.” The adjutant said.
“No need, it’s all an excuse.” Mason waved his hand and dialed Matthew’s voice to inform him of the situation.
“This subordinate is incompetent.” Mason lowered his head and said.
“You don’t have to worry about this matter. I’ll settle it.” After saying that, Matthew hung up the communication. Not long after, a middle-aged man came to his study and stood with his hands lowered, “Young Master, I’m coming.”
“Uncle Vernon, I have to trouble you to visit the Aurora Plane.” Said Matthew.
“As you wish, Young Master.” The middle-aged man bowed and said.
Half an hour later, the Gresham Clan’s elder, Vernon, a Saint-ranked expert, boarded the aircraft heading for Scarlett’s Gate.
War raged in the Aurora Plane. Smoke rose from the battlefield, and the sound of cannons rumbled. The Purple-Eyed Demon Tribes were destroyed and burned one after another. Tens of thousands of human and demon corpses were scattered all over the ice field, filled with corpses and craters.
After arriving at the frontlines, Tie Zha did not intend to continue watching. He immediately sent out a large number of scouts to prepare to attack at any time.
The tactical map from the communication network showed that there was a medium-sized demon tribe guarding a high ground 25 kilometers northeast of them. The specific number of people was between 3,000 and 4,000.
In terms of strength alone, the four-sided alliance army was at a disadvantage. Normally, two and a half human soldiers were equivalent to one demon population, based on a ratio of one to 2.5. If it was against the warriors of the tribe, the ratio would be one to seven, because the mo civilians also had a certain amount of combat power.
However, this was a macro statistic based on the wars between humans and the demons. Putting it on a local battlefield did not explain the problem.
About five hours later, after sacrificing the lives of nearly three teams of scouts, they finally managed to capture a few demon civilians alive. After two hours of interrogation, he finally figured out the initial situation of the tribe.
This tribe was called Aishan. It had more than 400 tribal warriors, six adepts, and a scaleless flying dragon army of about 30. It had a war warlock. Generally speaking, it was a hard stubble.
They occupied the high ground, and the lightning spear had a range of more than fifteen kilometers.
Although human howitzers have a huge advantage in range, their accuracy is far inferior to lightning spears. The lightning spear was small in size, fast in flight, and did not require high climatic conditions. As for the howitzer, it was large. Once the distance exceeded fifteen kilometers and the direction of the wind slightly changed, the landing point would be very different. Coupled with howitzers hitting targets on the back of the mountain, they were easily blocked by the hillside, so relying solely on their range to bully the opponent had little effect.
The four-sided alliance army had more than three hundred Thunder Flame Forms and sixty thousand artillery shells. Even if all of them were wiped out twenty kilometers away, they might not be able to achieve much.
Tie Zha asked Mu Qianhe to gather Yang Yong, Big Beard, Bai Xiaotian, and the others to discuss. After discussing for half an hour, they realized that everyone’s tactical theories weren’t very good. Guarding the fortress, attacking with small forces, and attacking with large forces were two completely different concepts.
The bearded man said that the troops were divided into eight groups and then attacked from eight different directions at the same time, killing all of them unprepared. His opinion was immediately opposed by Mu Qianhe. If the demons rushed down from the mountain and used their advantage to eat up the troops from four directions, the remaining people would have to wait for their deaths.
Bai Xiaotian said as he dispersed the mecha and pushed it ten kilometers away. First, he was half dead, and then he charged forward with a surge of Qi. Yang Yong shook his head. He said that this was impossible. The mecha hadn’t fired a few rounds before it was targeted by the other party’s lightning spear. Moreover, the opponent had a scaleless flying dragon force, and their mobility and scouting ability were very good. It was easy to eat the scattered mecha forces. Bai Xiaotian immediately argued. Everyone also had the power armor and the remoulding troops, and they still had the advantage in numbers. If they dared to come out, they would all be wiped out.
“They also have a Warlock.” Yang Yong reminded, “We don’t know anything about his ability.”
Bai Xiaotian immediately fell silent. This warlock was the biggest variable. If you don’t know what the other party is good at, you won’t be able to take targeted measures. Just an “acceleration field” or “protection field” was enough for them to be disgusted.
The four of them discussed and discussed, but none of them had an idea. The tactics that Tie Zha could come up with were similar to theirs. After all, they were all from the mercenary corps.
Afterwards, Tie Zha sent the situation back to Crimson Peak Stronghold and asked for Zhao Wenke’s opinion. Zhao Wenke analyzed for a long time and suggested a conservative consumption strategy. It was to divide the mecha into small teams and harass them for a long time.
If the opponent only retaliated with the lightning spear, they would only lose a small team at a time. As time passed, their lightning spears and psionic energy were also used up. If the enemy dispatched the Scaleless Flying Dragon Force, they would send out a small number of motorized armored warriors to Try to probe a few more times, and when you know the situation clearly, you’ll be able to break through it in one fell swoop.
The advantage of this tactic was that it was stable, but the disadvantage was that it took a long time and consumed a lot of energy. After this battle, they could basically withdraw from the Aurora Plane.
After hesitating, Tie Zha dialed Bi Tianye’s voice and asked for her opinion. In the end, Bi Tianye only used three sentences to completely solve the problem.
“Wait for someone else to fight ~”
“Of course, persimmons need soft pinches.”
“Aren’t you a garrison? If you don’t have any meat to eat, you can go to another war zone to steal it ~”
A reader friend said that after a month, it was three days and one night.
I’m very sorry about that.
The totem was written to this day, two million words. The war on the Aurora Plane covered the entire Silver City world’s political structure, interest chains, and interpersonal relationships with the upper echelons. It covered a wide range of areas and affected everyone’s entire body (book).
I need some time to think carefully.
Since it is not a little white paper, since the logic is excellent, it is naturally impossible to write quickly. Please forgive me for this.
Sometimes, without inspiration or good thinking, if you forcefully write, what you write will only be rubbish.
I hope every word and every plot of the totem is carefully thought through and carefully written. I also hope that the entire Totem Book can withstand scrutiny and the test of time.
I like World of Warcraft very much, I also like DND, forgotten country, but those are written by foreigners, set by foreigners.
Therefore, I also want to construct a unique Silver City world that combines Chinese elements with a strong sense of reality.
In my mind, it is not only the story of Tie Zha and his sister, but also the story of the entire world. There are many nodes to think about.
My friends have been chasing after books for so long, I think they shouldn’t be in such a hurry for so long.
Otherwise, wouldn’t you be even more disappointed?
In order to complete the totem, please forgive me for the slow update. Thank you.
