Chapter 844: The upcoming curtain

Hearing the solemnity in Marquis Rose's words, Lei Xiao nodded and motioned for the other party to continue talking.

"As the lord mentioned just now, the Wangxing Corridor where this Wangxing City is located is the only passage connecting the Lengyan's hinterland in the eastern area of Lengyan within the sphere of influence of the territory."

The Marquis Rose came to the sand table in the center of the meeting hall and continued to express his views.

"From the topography point of view, the Wangxing Corridor stretches for more than 100 kilometers. It is formed by the Baibu Mountains in the north and the Songyin Mountains in the south. The overall terrain is wide at both ends and narrow and long in the middle."

"The widest part of the corridor is more than 20 kilometers, while the narrowest part is only five kilometers. It is the location of Wangxing City. The length of the city wall is also five kilometers. It happens to divide the Wangxing Corridor in two from the middle."

Marquis Rose picked up the baton placed beside the sand table, while gesturing on a long and narrow area, he talked freely.

"It can be clearly seen from this that the length, width and depth of the stargazing corridor are quite limited, which is not conducive to the deployment of the attacking army. Many dangerous places along the way are even excellent places for the defenders to ambush."

The baton in the hands of Marquis Rose swiped across the narrow area, and concluded: "In other words, from a conventional point of view, this is a battle that is definitely beneficial to our side."

"As long as you take advantage of the special terrain of the Haowangxing Corridor, whether it is to lure the enemy deep or to outflank it at both ends, with the reinforcements of our 17 legions and 6 northern border legions, it is easy to defend here."

Listening to Marquis Rose's analysis, the young commanders such as Tina, Ryan, Lixia, and Reese all looked excited, while the senior commanders such as Orr, Hodder, and Benson frowned tightly.

"I seem to understand what Qing Shuanghua means."

Ariel, who frowned slightly, stared at the sand table for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

"This is a battle for the throne within the Lengyan Kingdom. The opponent's understanding of the Wangxing Corridor is no less than ours. They must also know the advantages listed by Qing Shuanghua just now."

Ariel's fair face was full of awe, and she continued: "In this case, the other party still looks like he is bound to win, which undoubtedly shows that the other party has found some way and is confident to capture this Star City .

"His Royal Highness is right. This is exactly what I and others are worried about. The other party will never throw themselves into the trap, but must have come prepared."

Huo De first exchanged glances with Auer and Benson, then frowned and said: "Just like what Your Excellency Shuanghua said, regardless of the powerful supporters behind the two princes, let's just talk about the four kingdoms in the opposing camp. The general is definitely not an ordinary person."

"The strength of the generals of the kingdom is not only reflected in their own strength, but also in the use of troops and strategies, especially the four opponents headed by the traditional nobles and the new nobles, each of which is enough to deter one side, which can be seen. "

"In addition, each of them has a huge aristocratic intelligence group under their tents, and all of them are capable people with strategic minds. Most of them graduated from elite schools, which is enough to represent the highest level of the kingdom."

Hearing what Huo De said, the young commanders such as Ryan and Lixia, who were originally excited, were already showing uncontrollable nervousness.

With their fledgling strength, even if the strength of the legion under their command is comparable, they will definitely not be the opponents of the generals of the kingdom, let alone a legion of recruits recruited temporarily?

An extremely uneasy atmosphere immediately began to spread in the meeting hall.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

Seeing this, Huo De hurriedly stroked Lei Xiao's chest and saluted: "I'm sorry, my lord, it's my subordinates who aroused other people's ambitions and destroyed their own prestige."

"It's okay, you're just stating the facts."

Lei Xiao also came to the sand table, nodded to Huo De and said: "I have already said before, if we can't even face up to the opponent, how can we defeat him?"

Having said that, Lei Xiao took the baton from Marquis Rose, pointed to the long and narrow area on the sand table representing the stargazing corridor, and asked his subordinates: "Under the current situation, if you are Attacker, what will you do?"

Hearing Lei Xiao's inquiry, the four senior commanders, Marquis Rose, Huode, Orr, and Benson, pondered for a while, and then gave the same answer together.

That is to find another way.

"Another way?"

Ariel blinked her starry eyes, looked puzzled at the Wangxing Corridor on the sand table, and asked in confusion: "As long as Wangxing City is not broken, how can the other party find another way?"

"His Royal Highness, be safe and don't be impatient."

In this way, Luolong City has 3 Goblin legions garrisoned, plus 3 new brigades of garrison recruits have been recruited locally, which is enough to deal with potential threats that may arise.

After making these arrangements, Lei Xiao and his subordinates thought of several other ways that the opponent might find another way, and then took precautions against each of them.

"Since the opponent intends to find another way first, and wait for an opportunity to attack when our forces are scattered, then the main force will definitely not join the battle at the beginning."

After all the discussions were over, Ariel expressed her opinion again: "And is there any possibility for our side to take the initiative to attack when the opponent's foothold is not stable?"

"Although Her Royal Highness's proposal is very constructive, the subject believes that it is not suitable for this campaign."

The Marquis of Rose sniffed the red rose that he took out at an unknown time, and answered Ariel's question: "For one thing, the four kingdom generals in the opponent's camp will definitely be on guard, and they will never give us a chance easily. machine."

"Secondly, our side is now sitting on a favorable location, while the opponent's troops are in full swing. When the strength of troops and overall combat power are far inferior to the opponent's, taking the initiative to attack will make us lose this only advantage."

Speaking of this, Marquis Rose smiled gracefully: "However, once the opponent's situation is over, it is naturally time for us to take the initiative."

"The words of the Marquis Rose are exactly what I want."

Lei Xiao moved his eyes on the sand table, nodded in agreement and said, "This time, our basic combat policy is still to remain unchanged and adapt to all changes, and strive to maximize the terrain advantage."

"Once the time is right, we will cooperate with the northern reinforcements to wait for the opportunity and try to give the opponent the final blow in one fell swoop."

Lei Xiao slowly withdrew his gaze, his gaze was firm.

Then, Lei Xiao and the subordinates present studied some equally important pre-war matters such as formation of troops and emergency response measures.

During this process, other commanders and subordinates who successively led the legions to arrive joined the discussion.

In addition, Lei Xiao also remotely connected Bert, Ju Bai and other subordinates of the commander who had not yet arrived, informed them of the core content of the discussion and asked for their opinions.

It wasn't until night fell that the pre-war meeting, which lasted for a whole day, came to an end.

"Everyone, although we don't know the opponent's hidden cards, we can only speculate on the opponent's general direction of action."

"But what is certain is that, as I said at the beginning, after so many days of hard work, the faint light of victory ahead is slowly being illuminated by us."

Lei Xiao paced slowly among the subordinates, his voice dripping with emotion.

"At the same time, please remember that the curtain of war that is about to begin will be filled with endless fire and howls of pain. As long as we are not careful, we will be burned into nothingness."

"This is destined to be a trial of blood and fire, and it is also destined to be an arduous battle, but I believe that as long as we do our best, we will turn the light of victory, which is no longer small, into the sky. the sun!"

Speaking of thisLei Xiao looked at the fighting faces of his subordinates one by one with his sharp eyes, and said again: "As your master, I will fight with you to the last moment. Won't back down a step!"

"The subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for the lord!"

The twenty or so main subordinates present all knelt on one knee and bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao.

Looking at the respectful postures of his subordinates, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

These subordinates are either the strong men of the famous town, or the generals who command tens of thousands of people.

But now they are all prostrate at their own feet, swearing unwavering loyalty.

"Okay, let's all get up, there is still a long way to go, at least we can't fall here yet."

Lei Xiao's eyes became brighter and brighter, like a pair of bright lights in the dark night.

"My goal is the sea of stars and stars in this world. It will be a distant road full of mysteries that no one has ever stepped on."
