Douluo: I loaded the Odyssey Kayn voice pack
Chapter 504: The strategy of exhaustion
The Star Luo Empire is stationed in the military camp of the Barak Kingdom.
At this time, Dai Qingxiao, Zhu Lanxizheng and other generals from the Star Luo Empire's military gathered here, discussing the results of the day before yesterday and future plans.
"As we expected, the frontal army of the Tiandou Empire is no match for our army on such an open battlefield." Deathblade General Wang Qianren said with a smile.
On the frontal battlefield, the combined forces of the four kingdoms were defeated in just half an hour.
This is the powerful military strength of the Star Luo Empire. Its frontal combat capability can defeat the enemy even if the number of troops is not superior.
Not to mention the United Army of the Four Kingdoms, even the regular heavy-armored army of the Tiandou Empire was not as good as the Star Luo Empire.
The Tiandou Empire also expected that the Allied Forces of the Four Great Kingdoms would be defeated by the Star Luo Empire on the frontal battlefield, but they only needed the Allied Armies of the Four Great Kingdoms to hold out for at least an hour.
It doesn't even take an hour, just a little longer.
Just for a moment.
Lu Yuan could lead the Tiandou Royal Knights and the Soul Master Legion, and directly wipe out the Blood Wolf Cavalry, Mad Lion Cavalry and Mad Lion General Renn.
Even if Dai Qingxiao and Zhu Lanxi lead the Tiger Roar Army and the Xingluo Royal Knights to intercept, Lu Yuan has this confidence.
The destruction of the Blood Wolf Cavalry and Crazy Lion Cavalry will definitely deal a huge blow to the Star Luo Empire army.
If Rendu was killed by Lu Yuan on the battlefield, then the Star Luo Empire would basically have to think about how to retreat.
Therefore, on the frontal battlefield between the armies of both sides, the combined forces of the four kingdoms could be defeated. This was also the outcome that the Tiandou Empire could expect.
I just didn't expect that the combined forces of the four kingdoms would be defeated so quickly.
There are a full 400,000 troops, plus the Xuanwu Army and the Fengwu Army, which equals an army of 500,000.
As a result, under this situation, the coalition forces of the four kingdoms only suffered more than 80,000 casualties and fled directly.
This caused the frontal battlefield to collapse in less than half an hour, and the heavily armored troops from the front of the Star Luo Empire directly surrounded them, causing a good situation to be directly turned into a huge disadvantage by the Star Luo Empire.
"The Tiandou Empire is no different from before, with no progress at all." Dai Qingxiao snorted coldly at this time, "What a pity, if that Lu Yuan was from our Xingluo Empire, Jialing Pass would have been captured by us now. .”
His eyes were full of regret. In his opinion, Lu Yuan's birth in the Tiandou Empire was a waste of his natural talent as a general and his talent in cultivation.
The Tiandou Empire has been weak for a long time, and its military strength is not strong. Its war education is completely unsatisfactory, which limits a natural battlefield king like Lu Yuan.
At the very least, Dai Qingxiao could see that Lu Yuan's role on the battlefield was not to defend the city, but to attack and kill, a large-scale annihilation battle or a speed battle to attack fortresses.
In this offensive battle, Lu Yuan's talent was even more powerful than Ren's.
If Lu Yuan is a subject of his Star Luo Empire, Dai Qingxiao is absolutely sure that he will train Lu Yuan into a peerless general in his lifetime, and under his leadership, he will lead Lu Yuan and the Star Luo Empire's millions of troops to directly conquer Tiandou. Empire, unify the entire Douluo Continent.
If Lu Yuan was his heir, then Dai Qingxiao would not have any worries and directly let Lu Yuan personally command the entire army of the Star Luo Empire. The Star Luo Empire would usher in its most powerful emperor and its most glorious era. .
However, these can only be fantasies.
Not only was Lu Yuan not his heir, he was also a general of the Tiandou Empire, the sworn enemy of the Star Luo Empire, and had caused a lot of trouble to the Star Luo Empire.
Others didn't say much about this, but they vaguely agreed with Dai Qingxiao's statement.
If Lu Yuan were from their Xingluo Empire, this war would probably be over by now, and Jialing Pass would be captured by them.
"Okay, although on this flat battlefield, the Tiandou Empire is no match for us." Dai Qingxiao frowned and said, "But now we can't do anything about the Tiandou Empire that controls Jialing Pass. Do you have any ideas? ?”
Just as the Tiandou Empire said in the previous meeting, if the Star Luo Empire does not want to spit out the territory of the four kingdoms it has occupied this time, it must find a way to capture Jialing Pass.
Otherwise, the territory of the four kingdoms they occupy has no natural dangers to defend, but the Tiandou Empire can attack from Jialing Pass at any time to attack the Star Luo Empire army or the migrating subjects in the territory of the four kingdoms.
Even if they don't attack head-on, just come out and burn all the grain fields planted by the Star Luo Empire after occupying the four kingdoms, it will make the Star Luo Empire very uncomfortable.
After all, it is impossible for the Star Luo Empire to continue to use the local food of the Star Luo Empire to support its army and the people who will migrate here after occupying the four major kingdoms.
Putting aside the question of whether there is enough food, the transportation costs are terrifyingly high.
Therefore, if the Star Luo Empire wants to truly occupy the four kingdoms, it must occupy Jialing Pass.
Unless they can face Jialing Pass and build a pass city like Yubeiguan and Zhennanguan, building a dangerous pass fortress cannot be built in a day or two.
And you still have to see whether the Tiandou Empire army in Jialing Pass agrees.
It was even more difficult to build a dangerous fortress against the harassment and pressure from the Tiandou Empire's army than to capture Jialing Pass.
Therefore, it is better to think of ways to capture Jialing Pass.
"Jialing Pass is even more dangerous than Zhennan Pass, and with the ingenuity of Ge Long and Lu Yuan, we would not have thought that we would send a surprise force to bypass the Tianling Mountains next to Jialing Pass and take the rear of Jialing Pass. You will definitely be wary of his plans." Wang Qianren frowned and said, "So...it is still very difficult to capture Jialing Pass..."
"In addition, Your Majesty and everyone know how difficult it is to attack Guancheng where Lu Yuan is."
Immediately, everyone present nodded, shuddering when they thought of Lu Yuan's unparalleled posture at Zhennan Pass where one man was able to defeat ten thousand men.
"So it is best for us to continue to increase our troops, and then lure the Tiandou Empire's army out of Jialing Pass. Then we can defeat the main force of the Tiandou Empire's army in one fell swoop. Without the main force, it will be difficult for them to defend Jialing Pass!" Wang Qianren said again.
"Luring the Tiandou Empire army out to fight us head-on?" Dai Qingxiao frowned, "What can you do?"
Wang Qianren shook his head helplessly, "Not yet."
The usual method is to send people to Jialing Pass to yell at the Tiandou Empire and provoke them to come out and fight head-on.
And like before at Zhennang Pass, Dai Qingxiao pretended to attack Zhennang Pass and then retreated after being defeated. He was also injured, trying to lure him.
But those in the Tiandou Empire are either fools or stupid people, and they won't fall for it so easily.
Lu Yuan was a "silly young man", but based on his previous performance at Zhennanguan, there was no way he could easily fall into this trap.
Even though he may be a little reckless, there are many old people in Jialing Pass at this time.
Especially this time, Ge Long is the head coach of the Tiandou Empire, and Lu Yuan must obey Ge Long's command when it comes to the right to speak.
"Think more carefully!"
Dai Qingxiao was immediately dissatisfied, but even he couldn't think of any plan to get the Tiandou Empire in Jialing Pass to come out and fight them head-on.
And just when the generals of the Star Luo Empire were having a headache...
"Report——!!!" Suddenly a huge voice came from outside the camp.
The next moment, a frontline scout from the Star Luo Empire rushed into the camp. Under the gaze of all the important figures in the Star Luo Empire, he said with a panicked expression:
"Your Majesty! The gate of Jialingguan is open!"
…
Jialingguan front line.
There are four gates on the front of Jialing Pass, which open almost at the same time. Four huge suspension bridges set up a fifty-meter-wide moat amidst the rattling of nooses.
Amidst the clanging of armor, the roar of war horses, and the loud sound of iron hoofs hitting the ground, a large number of soldiers quickly poured out of Jialing Pass along with the organized cavalry.
One after another, phalanxes appeared outside the camp. Each huge phalanx was composed of ten thousand people, directly ordered by their respective generals, and formed in front of Jialing Pass.
The raging steel wave, under the scorching sun, looked like a wild beast that chose people to devour, which made people frightened.
In the vast territory of the Balak Kingdom, there is only one main city that is not very tall on this plain. Compared with the huge Jialing Pass in front of it, such a main city is like a kitten in front of a tiger.
This small main city was like a shaky boat in front of the wave of steel sent by the Tiandou Empire.
It will be destroyed and torn to pieces by the Tiandou Empire army at any time.
This is also the reason why the Xingluo Empire still has to find a way to capture Jialing Pass even if it can't defeat the Tiandou Empire's army head-on.
"What are the Tiandou Empire thinking?" Dai Qingxiao was on the main city, flanked by Queen Zhu Lanxi and two Star Luo Empire generals, Ren En and Wang Qianren. He was looking at the Tiandou Empire's army pouring out of Jialing Pass. He frowned and said, "Is there any plan?"
Otherwise, Dai Qingxiao would not understand why the Tiandou Empire would come out to provoke a war even though they knew that they could not defeat the Star Luo Empire on the frontal battlefield.
"Maybe it's another attempt? Or like a day ago, trying to use the frontal battlefield as a cover, but the light cavalry and the soul master army, led by Lu Yuan, went straight to our knight army?" Renn thought at the side. thought, and then said.
"Your Majesty, let us now..." Wang Qianren said hesitantly.
However, Dai Qingxiao snorted coldly, "On the battlefield, you can't be timid. Even if they have any plans, they can only take a slight advantage in the face of absolute power. When the time comes, we can adapt to changes."
"And if they want to fight, there's no reason for us to be afraid, right?"
"Understood!" Ren and Wang Qianren immediately bowed and saluted.
"Pass my order! Let the heavy-armored legion send troops immediately. The other legions will be ready to take orders and attack at any time!" Dai Qingxiao waved his hand and said, "It's still the same as before, Ren, as the commander-in-chief of this war, don't you? Change!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Ren and Wang Qianren nodded again, then turned and left.
Soon, the Star Luo Empire army stationed in the Balak Kingdom quickly launched under the order of Dai Qingxiao.
Amidst the clanging armor and loud noises, a large number of heavily armored soldiers from the Star Luo Empire garrisoned in a main city in the Balak Kingdom quickly poured out of it.
The silver-white armor formed a sharp contrast with the mainly black heavy armor of the Tiandou Empire. Then, as always, they mobilized very quickly. Even under the ravages of the scorching sun, they all quickly arranged themselves in order, sweating profusely. Facing the Tiandou Empire's army from a distance.
Judging from this, the mobilization speed of the Tiandou Empire's army is indeed not as fast as the mobilization speed of the Star Luo Empire's army.
In particular, these armies of the Star Luo Empire are heavily armored troops, carrying dozens of kilograms of armor and weapons on their backs. It is really amazing that they can be so fast.
However, it is not that their physical strength is much better than that of the soldiers of the Tiandou Empire. They march with armor weighing dozens of kilograms, and they still move so quickly, and the physical burden is also heavy.
This is also because of the strict military laws of the Star Luo Empire. Once someone is slow, not only will he be punished, but his teammates will also be implicated.
This is why they marched so quickly and neatly.
The Xingluo Empire's army quickly mobilized, and its 800,000-strong army lined up neatly in front of Jialing Pass, ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the Tiandou Empire.
But just when they were ready for the war...
"Beep——!" The horn sounded from the Tiandou Empire's army, and then the herald there directly shouted, "All the troops——retreat!"
Then, the Star Luo Empire watched as the hundreds of thousands of Tiandou Empire troops retreated directly and easily into Jialing Pass.
At this time, they saw that the hundreds of thousands of Tiandou Empire troops were basically ordinary soldiers without heavy armor, or only wearing leather armor, and those troops riding war horses did not even have heavier weapons. Didn't take any.
Their burden was extremely light, and they easily returned along the original route along the suspension bridge at Jialing Pass that had not yet been closed.
The Tiandou Empire's army had not even marched out of the ten-mile radius of Jialing Pass before heading back directly.
"????" The soldiers of the Star Luo Empire who were originally nervous were filled with doubts when they saw this scene.
You... just came out for a walk and then went back?
"What...is going on?" In fact, let alone those ordinary Xingluo Empire soldiers, even Wang Qianren and Renn looked confused at this moment.
"What should we do now?" Ren was confused and asked Wang Qianren.
Wang Qianren opened his mouth, "What else can we do... withdraw the troops..."
"I'll report this to His Majesty later..." He shook his head, "Tian Dou Empire... what are you doing?"
"Order the entire army to retreat!" Then, the Star Luo Empire army loudly conveyed the order to withdraw.
Then the 800,000-strong army of the Star Luo Empire withdrew again with heavy armor and weapons on their faces full of confusion.
However, less than an hour later, the four suspension bridges at Jialing Pass were lowered again. At the same time, the city gate opened wide, and the Tiandou Empire's army rushed out again.
"The enemy - is attacking -!" the Star Luo Empire's scouts immediately returned to the army and shouted.
