Lux's Magic Penetration Rod

Chapter 730 【0719】 Changes in temperament

For the Xiongdu Front Army, the journey to Badaopo was even more difficult than the march in the Shurima Desert.

What makes marching in the desert painful is the weather, the dryness, the need for a rationed supply of drinking water, the huge difference in temperature between day and night, and the poisonous insects lurking in the sand that may give you a bite.

Most of these things can be solved as long as we deal with them well.

However, the march along Badaopo is different. In this rolling hilly area, what is painful is the gradually increasing altitude, the dirty things falling from the sky from time to time, the small-scale harassment day and night, and the You may encounter an ambush at any time on the road.

Compared with marching in the desert, the mental state of the troops on the Xiongdu Front had to be tense at all times. The mental pressure and the sudden increase in altitude caused many soldiers to become swollen, and many had to withdraw from the battle order and return. The Fearless Vanguard rested at the fortress at the southern end of Badaopo.

However, despite the difficulty, the Xiongdu Front Army still completed this journey safely, and it took them nearly ten days to walk through this stretch of mountainous road smoothly - and then they discovered that the northern travelers were not as good as before. They expected to defend the city tightly, but chose to take the initiative and blocked the north exit of Badaopo, as if they were going to trap the Xiongdu Front Army in the mountains.

After receiving the news from the scouts, the commanders of the Xiongdu Front were overjoyed, but they did not rush out of the mountain. Instead, they gathered and rested in the Badao Slope, and steadily assumed a posture for a frontal battle.

Although the terrain at the northern exit of Badaopo is not open and the Xiongdu Front cannot fully utilize its numerical advantage, it doesn't matter. As long as you northerners dare to come out and fight, that's enough!

……………………

Of course Lux dared to come out and fight.

In fact, although the Northern Walkers have been shrinking the front line and blocking the attack at every level, the reason why Lux did this was not because she thought she could not win in a frontal battle, but because she hoped to use this method to further weaken the combat effectiveness of the Xiongdu Front. By the way, it can also be regarded as a test of the other party's organization.

Before the large armies confront each other and the decisive battle begins, the battles of the scouts and the confrontations of small groups are the basis for the commander to subsequently judge the enemy.

Moreover, after fully gaining control of the air, Lux also has the initiative. If this is the case, then why not let the enemy in, extend the enemy's supply line, and fight a war at his own doorstep?

If this battle is fought north of Pinara, even if the Xiongdu Front is defeated, it cannot be completely eliminated. Most of the people can escape back to Pinara City and stick to it. By then, as long as the morale in the city does not collapse, the Northern Walkers They had no choice but to attack the city with a bad exchange ratio, and the losses were so great that they exploded.

But if the enemy is allowed to move north and let them take the initiative to extend the supply line, this will not only provide an opportunity to harass the enemy on the road, but also means that once the enemy can be defeated on the frontal battlefield, they can quickly take the water route through the Grand Canal route and quickly The Northern Pioneer intercepted at Canal 102 has the ability to completely annihilate the enemy!

And the total annihilation of the current Xiongdu Front Army is the small goal set by Lux for this battle - at this time, if the Xiongdu Front Army does not seize the impatience to put down the rebellion with great fanfare in order to gain a strategic advantage, is it to show off its own Do you have the confidence to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

It can't be!

It is no exaggeration to say that when Lux, who had been saving up for many years and suddenly rebelled, swept across the northern border like a whirlwind and controlled a large area without causing any obvious resistance, she had already gained a strategic advantage - she could Continue to fight steadily, but Jarvan IV on the capital side is absolutely anxious to put down the rebellion and is waiting for work. This is the time!

Of course, you can't be completely lazy while waiting for work. It is necessary to prolong the enemy's supply line, but letting the enemy attack the city is a suicide. Rissos is also an important town in the north. If the enemy really reaches the city, not only the industrial and commercial production will suffer. If damage occurs, some pests that have not been completely uncovered may take the opportunity to cause damage and cause unnecessary trouble.

In addition, considering the protoss's shortage of great heroes, Lux cannot guarantee that the Xiongdu Front Army will not plunder villages wantonly. Therefore, her battle deployment is very clear. The enemy can push the front line forward, and you can also camp step by step, but when you step out Badao Slope just won’t work!

Therefore, while harassing the Xiongdu Front Army, the Northern Walkers also quickly mobilized and rushed to the north of Badaopo to set up camp and confront the Xiongdu Front Army.

Unlike the Xiongdu Front which has a long supply line and needs to cross the 102 Canal and cross the hilly areas, most of the supplies for the Northern Walkers have been sent to Lissos and can be delivered to the camp through the Grand Canal. They are facing off here. , they have an absolute advantage in terms of physical condition and food and supplies.

In fact, when things have developed to this point, although the senior commanders of the Xiongdu Front did not say it, they had some understanding in their hearts - the three-step strategy they proposed before still underestimated the enemy. This kind of initiative The front line was pushed forward, which directly caused difficulties in our own logistics, and supplies became increasingly difficult.

I thought that wherever the army went, it would sweep away fallen leaves like the autumn wind, and that it could quickly defeat the enemy head-on.

But only when they actually faced the enemy did everyone discover that these Yankees were really capable of fighting. They had previously underestimated their strength and thought they would win by running them over. As a result, they became aggressive in tactics and suddenly There was actually a bit of a dilemma.

If Jarvan IV were his true self, I am afraid that when things got to this point, he would choose to retreat very calmly, and try to seize the opportunity to strike back while retreating - Jarvan IV's thinking has always been very clear. He can always grasp the key points of the battlefield. In his eyes, the battle north of Badaopo is a battle where you won't make much money if you win, and you will suffer huge losses if you lose. It should not happen.

But, for the Twilight Stars...

"It's boring, I want to see a river of blood."

Many commanders of the Xiongdu Front thought that His Majesty would order a retreat, at least to the front line of the 102 Canal to blockade the Northerners. However, what they never expected was that Jarvan IV's order was to attack.

"Break through their lines!"

Well, to be honest, it's a bit unexpected, but not incomprehensible.

If the fearless vanguard is mobilized to serve as the front end of the formation, breaking through the enemy's weak points at a single point, they may be able to leave the mountains and enter the northern sub-plateau area, and even cut off those enemies who have not had time to retreat. The way out, fight a battle of annihilation!

Therefore, when Jarvan IV took the initiative to ask "if there is any battle plan," several young officers who were eager to achieve military success chose to express their feelings and proposed a surprise attack tactic to break the formation.

Jarvan IV happily expressed his appreciation for the tactics of these young men, and promoted a few of them under unusual circumstances. At the same time, he signed a transfer order to transfer the Dauntless Vanguard to join them, and the Sun Warriors to switch defenses with them to prepare for a fallback.

In this way, the army settled down at the north exit of Badaopo. According to the tactical plan, the Xiongdu Front began to build forts, occupy the commanding heights, and even built dragon bird nests, as if they were preparing to stay here permanently, but In fact, the main scouts were sent out frequently to explore the layout of the Northern Front, hoping to select a weak point and break through it.

Uvol, who was transferred back from the south, led the fearless vanguard to the frontal battlefield after a long journey, and was immediately appointed as the commander-in-chief, responsible for the raid at the north entrance of Badaopo.

After receiving the mission, Uvor was stunned for a while, then gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and simply found Jarvan IV.

"Your Majesty, it is really unwise to choose to attack the north entrance now!"

"Oh?" Jarvan IV looked sideways at the anxious Uvor as if he had just woken up, "What's wrong?"

"Our supply line is too long. The rebels have an advantage on the water. Relying on the Grand Canal, they can freely harass our supply line." Urvall began with the supply issue that Jarvan IV was most concerned about, and urged anxiously. , "Although there are people who are loyal to the Empire and His Majesty in Lissos City, I am afraid that key news will not be sent back every time. Once the logistics are affected and the army is unfamiliar with the place, bad things are likely to happen. What a matter!"

Uvor was able to be promoted all the way by Galen, and his character can be imagined - many other commanders considered that this was an order from Jarvan IV, and they only needed to think about how to execute it, but Uvor could not tolerate it in his eyes. Sha Shadi took the initiative to persuade the emperor, hoping that he would shrink the front.

After all, this was Jarvan IV's consistent approach to military use.

"Are there any more?" After listening to Uvor's words, Jarvan IV did not comment, but spoke again with a calm face, "Aside from supplies, do you think we are still a threat?"

Uval was visibly stunned.

His Majesty's performance was too calm. Has he already considered this part of the problem?

Uvor was confused in his heart, but without any hesitation, he quickly reported to Jarvan IV according to his own draft.

"In addition to the supply problem, we also lack the conditions for a frontal breakthrough. The rebel camp is too thick, and there are evil mages to support it. If we force a breakthrough, the casualties will probably be greater than when we forcefully cross 102!"

Jarvan IV has always loved soldiers as much as his sons. In Uvall's view, although His Majesty should not hesitate to be decisive, if possible, he will always try to avoid unnecessary sacrifices. Perhaps in this way, he can soften His Majesty. Attitude.

However, Jarvan IV still didn't hear Uvor's second statement and just continued to ask.

"Any more?"

Uval was a little dumbfounded.

Isn't this enough?

Continuing to attack carries high risks and a low winning rate. If you fail, the price will be heavy. What's wrong with you, Your Majesty? Why do you seem to be persisting?

"Since there isn't, then go get ready." Jarvan IV seemed not to notice Uvor's stiffness, and just waved his hand gently, "I have mobilized the most elite fearless vanguard warriors. You are fighting well in the south. Now A sudden attack will make these unsteady traitors unable to stand."

"As for those evil mages, the elders of the Burning Sun Sect will deal with them."

This answer is not satisfactory.

However, due to Jarvan IV's own prestige, although Uvor was full of doubts, he still accepted the order and began to allocate combat tasks as soon as possible, allowing the warriors of the Dauntless Vanguard to seize the time to rest and prepare to carry out the raid as planned.

……………………

The reason Jarvan IV—or the Twilight Protoss—accepted such a battle plan that seemed to seek death was not because he really didn't want to win.

In fact, the Twilight Star Spirit's attitude at this time can only be described as "fearless". After exploring the situation in Rithos City from many sources, he believed that the Xiongdu Front Army would definitely win.

Why do the Twilight Stars make such a judgment?

Because he really believes that as long as the battle breaks out and the Fearless Vanguard seizes the fighter plane to make a surprise attack, the Northern Walkers will be defeated.

What supported him in making such a judgment was his constant browsing of the Lissos Archives and the Fosbarrow Northern Walker Archives during this period.

According to archival data, most of the northern pioneers in Lissos City and those who took the initiative to leave the city at this time were reservists and retired personnel.

The previous air battle at Badaopo had proved that simply relying on the blind man and the elephant to draw pictures was not enough to make up for the Twilight Stars' lack of professionalism in military matters - so the Twilight Stars decided to systematically understand the Northern Walkers.

Therefore, he looked through the Northern Walker's files again.

From these files, he could clearly see that most of the current Northern Walker Army had only three years of training, and those with five years of training were all very professional "technical arms." , among all the battle sequences, only the Master's study and training time exceeded five years.

The Twilight Star Spirit doesn't actually know much about mortal warfare, but he at least knows that if he wants to cultivate an elite warrior, just three to five years is not enough.

On the Xiongdu Front Army, those who have received three years of military training can only be regarded as reserve soldiers. They can use weapons and have basic military skills, but if they want to enter the regular military sequence, these rookies must train for at least two more years. Year.

Not to mention elites like the Fearless Vanguard, the entire battalion was almost all absolute elite warriors in their thirties.

Just like Kalya knew that the Twilight Stars had the power of space, the Twilight Stars also knew that Kalya knew about him, so when he was investigating the news about Rithos, he did not really believe in the isolated evidence, because those things It is very likely that it is a trap specifically targeted at yourself.

But the soldier’s file is always gone, right?

Moreover, in order to ensure the accuracy of the news, the Twilight Protoss also deliberately compared it with the previous results. For example, the second regiment of Plain Walkers and the first regiment of Hill Walkers who ran behind to cover were able to beat the Dauntless Vanguard to a score of five. Five open, the service time is also the longest.

Based on the above judgment, the Twilight Star Spirits came to the conclusion that there was now a head-on battle, and there were not many capable teams of Northern Walkers, so their own side had a huge advantage.

Since our own advantage is so great...

Naturally, we have to play more unrestrainedly.

After all, the Twilight Protoss is not here to do charity. He wants to control Demacia, and what he wants to see is that every family should be filial and hatred should last forever.

This is the experience of the bright moon and the burning sun!

I almost missed it...
