Release that Witch - Chapter 1375

[Chapter 1336 The Counterattack Begins]

The next day, after Iron Ax returned to the Cage Mountain command post on the Seagull, he immediately walked into the staff office.

“How was the trip?” Edith was sitting at the mahogany table, drinking black tea leisurely.

Obviously everyone is very busy these days, and it is common to work until the early hours of the morning, but she still maintains a delicate image, as if she has more energy and time than others, this ability is admired even by Iron Axe .

“Morale is available.” He replied briefly.

“Then we can proceed to the next step.” Beidi Pearl smiled slightly, “By the way, just last night, the defenders of Xisha City also withdrew from the defensive area.”

“Then only Shenchi Bay is left… …” Iron Ax looked at the large map on the wall.

“I suggest to let them evacuate as soon as possible, and send a troop to respond, instead of waiting for a breach in the defense line to act.”

Iron Ax nodded, and he also agreed with this judgment.

Now the number of demons gathered from west to east is likely to exceed 50,000. This number will not be a problem to encircle the entire Shenchi Bay. Once the army converges, it may be difficult for the First Army to find a suitable time to retreat.

Since their strategic goal was not on one city and one place from the beginning, it was a natural decision to abandon Shenchiwan early in order to preserve the army.

Since the enemy launched a massive attack, the evacuation operations have never stopped. The residents and businessmen who originally maintained the city’s operation were first transferred out of the city, followed by Roland’s family and nobles.

The city at this moment is just a huge empty shell, as long as an order is given, the defenders can move immediately.

“I… don’t quite understand…” Agatha, who was flipping through the latest battle report, murmured suddenly.

“Is something wrong?” Iron Ax walked to her side.

“The gap between the number of casualties and the statistics of annihilated enemies…is as much as 30 times. How is this possible?” Since the four cities have all met the enemy in the past week, and the reports are sent in batches, Therefore manual summarization is required.

In order to prevent miscalculations, she checked the arithmetic formula in her hand several times, but the answer she got was still the same.

According to the statistical results, the four cities have suffered a total of more than 1,500 casualties so far, but the number of enemies eliminated has reached as high as 50,000. This is completely unbelievable.

If it was in the era of the Federation, Agatha would not hesitate to think that this was a deliberate fraud and a false report of military achievements, but she has fought with the First Army many times, and it is unlikely that such a problem will occur under the multi-check system.

Even if one or two percent of the error is thrown away, it will not change its essence.

You must know that when the First Army was on the northern expedition to the Fertile Plain, the devil army they faced was only 20,000!

At that time, relying on the railway stretching hundreds of kilometers, they built one fortress after another, and it took nearly a year before they won the battle of Taquila.

And this time the staff’s strategy was just to keep retreating, and they achieved twice the results of the Fertile Plain in eight days?

Despite her confidence in today’s human beings, this result still shocked her.

Agatha originally thought that this battle would be extremely intense.

“I see,” Edith chuckled after reading the statistics of the Ice Witch. “To be honest, the effect of this plan has slightly exceeded my expectations. But it’s not all due to the first army, and the devil’s cooperation also It’s very important, probably the ambush hurt Hykezord a lot, and he didn’t have the energy to control the details of the front line.”

“Just for this reason?” Agatha said in disbelief.

“I know what you’re wondering about,” Edith waved her hand, “It seems that we just retreated a few times in exchange for such a result. The battle plan is so simple that it can be summed up in one sentence, but it’s actually not the case. It’s true. You often stayed behind when you were in the Federation, and it’s normal if you don’t understand—to put it simply, only the current First Army can implement this tactic.”

“The First Army during the expedition to the ruins of Taquila didn’t work?”

“At least it won’t do better than it is now.” Beidizhu explained, “There is often only a thin line between retreat and rout, and it is still under tremendous pressure. It is extremely difficult to maintain order, let alone orderly evacuation. It would be the best performance for those aristocratic armies to disperse. If the First Army hadn’t experienced the Taquila night attack Given the test of combat and the strength of order execution shown by the previous evacuation team, I dare not take the risk of putting this plan into practice.

” In the case of fortress artillery support, you can also rely on the firepower of general-purpose machine guns and field artillery to compete with the enemy. The biggest advantage of firearms is distance. Once you can move the entire army and always hold the advantage in your hands, it is logical to achieve this result. It

’s a matter.”

Edith paused at this point, “But it is also true that we lost the outer defense line, so the next step is the key to the whole plan. Once the devil wins the four cities, it will definitely start planning the next round attack, and the Cage Mountain is both a barrier and the source of raw materials for the Sun’s Glory, so the land-for-man strategy cannot be used forever. The enemy must be further reduced before they recover.”

“Red Mist… Agatha whispered.

“That’s right, these four cities are already outside the red mist area. The devil’s reliance on the supply line will definitely increase significantly, and the reappearance of the blood line is also very possible. And the current battle line almost spans the entire wolf heart, I don’t know. I think they can take care of everything.”

“Before the establishment of the fog storage tower, all the devils could rely on were fortress-shaped monstrosities equivalent to small obelisks and human transportation.” Iron Ax added, “Before, they used the All the attacks launched started from the monsters, but according to Lightning and Maggie’s observations, after losing a large number of madmen, their protection against the monsters was not as good as before. In addition, when attacking the four cities, the main supply line of the devil’s front All are hidden in the red mist area, but then it will be exposed to the eyes of the First Army.”

“The problem is that this means that we need to take the initiative.” Agatha hesitated, “Fortress monsters can move autonomously, and they are not very afraid of the aerial knight’s strafing. The only way to destroy them is to send ground troops. But we can Seeing the enemy, the enemy can also see us, even if the protection against the monstrous beasts has declined, they can send reinforcements temporarily – counting the journey back and forth, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com We are likely to lose The advantage in distance. If the devil catches up…”

In an open encounter, even if the first army can repel the devil, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

“So speed is everything,” Edith raised the corner of her mouth, “as long as the counterattack is completed before the enemy reacts.”

But how can this be achieved?

Agatha turned her attention to the map, trying to find a shortcut from Cage Mountain to the Four Cities.

There are quite a few roads between the two places, including the former commercial roads and the hard roads built later to speed up the evacuation.

They are all over the four cities and the cage mountain, like a spider web.

However, these roads do not have the ability to shorten the distance.

Not to mention that the First Army has no cavalry at all, even if it has a large number of horses, it is still unclear whether it can catch up with the fortress monstrosity.

What’s more, the firepower that Qingqi can carry is limited, and it is not suitable for dealing with those huge monsters.

“Of course not now,” Beidi Pearl seemed to see her puzzlement. “This plan still lacks a key factor. After it is in place, all the conditions will be met. But according to the plan, you will soon be able to see Here we go.”
