Chapter 208

After a night of snowstorm.

The weather on the second day unexpectedly improved a lot, and this night, except for some seriously injured people who failed to resist the cold and died, other soldiers barely survived.

So take advantage of the sunny weather.

Veigar ordered the soldiers to start building a defense line and setting up secret sentries, at least to ensure that any disturbance within a kilometer is known as soon as possible.

After building the line of defense, Veigar ordered to use local materials to build a wooden house for living.

And while building a wooden house and setting up roadblocks, use nearby stones to build a medium-sized fortress to ensure his own safety. After all, a wooden house is difficult to prevent the bombing of a fire magician. He doesn't want to be lit by the enemy's flame explosion .

Even with 5000 people, so much work cannot be completed in a day or two.

Therefore, during these three days, Veigar concentrated on making preparations. As long as other troops did not find them, he generally would not take the initiative to provoke them.

Although he did not take the initiative to provoke a war, the intelligence work did not fall behind.

Veigar sent a large number of scouts, not only to find out the area of ​​the forest, but also roughly know how many troops are in the forest now, and where these troops are stationed.

This forest is about 172 square kilometers. The temperature during the day is about -10 degrees Celsius, and the temperature at night will drop to above -15 degrees Celsius. At the same time, it is raining or snowing 80.00% of the time.

The pine trees in the entire forest are as high as 40 meters.

The dense tree tops cover the entire sky, even in the daytime, it feels dark and depressing, no matter it is rainy or snowy, the rain can always drip down the branches, making people shudder.

in the course of combat.

Because the branches at the lower part of the fir tree are criss-crossed, any soldier can only bend forward, so it is not suitable for large-scale marches in many cases. Even if a large army moves in, the speed is not much better than that of a turtle.

Based on this geographical environment, the development of intelligence work has become much easier.

According to the information we have, there are now more than 150 regiments in this forest, and about 24 soldiers are concentrated here, and wars are happening almost every minute.

Every day about ten regiments disappear as a result.

Of course, there are also many officers who are proficient in forest warfare to take advantage of the situation, continue to defeat the enemy, and strive to expand their troops, but like Vega, there are almost no troops that expand to a standard brigade in a cheap way.

Not everyone can easily perform decapitation tactics.

If you want to defeat the enemy, you often need to injure the enemy by a thousand and self-injury by eight hundred. Therefore, his family is the only one with the largest force in the forest, and there is no semicolon. Enemy stage.

Seeing that everyone kept harvesting points, Veigar was not in a hurry.

This hundred-regiment battle lasted as long as six months. Instead of participating in the melee now, it is better to cultivate well. After more than ten days, when the morale of the troops he recruited has recovered and can exert 100% combat power, then It's not too late to make a move.

So these more than ten days are wasted like this?

not really.

Although you don't plan to participate in the melee in the early stage, you can't waste the opportunity to accumulate strength.

Therefore, Vega ordered that while the infrastructure was being built, several wooden houses were built in a conspicuous location, and about 700 demoralized or injured soldiers were left in that conspicuous place to stand by.

Veigar referred to the 700 soldiers as bait.

As imagined, he was going to stage a wish-taker.

This location is very close to the headquarters. Once a fish takes the bait, Veigar's large force can arrive at the scene within 10 minutes and surround the enemy, ensuring that no fly will be let go.

Coupled with the superiority of his own shadow mage.

As long as the plan is proper, the beheading tactic can be repeated. It is not necessary to lose the main force like other troops in order to forcefully attack the opponent's troops to gain points.

You know, this is just a magical illusion.

Therefore, there will be absolutely no officers who will not resist and surrender directly. Even if they face an army ten times their size, they will order the soldiers to gnaw off a piece of meat from the opponent.

This is also the reason why many officers who are proficient in jungle warfare can't expand their troops even though they have a lot of points. Not everyone is as lucky as Kane, who killed the opposing commander in one go.

The plan went well.

In just one morning, Veigar's troops opened up an open space in a conspicuous position.

In addition, the construction process of wooden houses is not difficult. In the evening of the same day, small wooden houses rose from the ground. Based on naked eye observation, it can be estimated that this is a force of about 700 people.

Do a full set of plays.

While building the wooden house, Veigar ordered fences and roadblocks to be built along the wooden house, and arranged for two wounded soldiers to station at the gate, which of course was intentional for the enemy's scouts to see.

The stage is set up, the actors are in place, how can there be no audience?
So in order to lure the first "smart man" into the trap, Veigar immediately ordered 700 soldiers to light a fire and make food.

The smoke soared upwards, and it was still quite conspicuous when the sky was getting dark.

The smoke from making fire and cooking is different from the smoke from fire magic.

The former is not in a hurry, while the latter is so blazing, as long as a slightly smarter commander can judge it.

What should I do if I'm a little stupid and can't tell the difference?
If you can't even distinguish this kind of smoke, such a person will not be a threat even in the later stage. Veigar's thinking is different from other people who are picky about the persimmons. He likes to start with the difficult and then the easy.

"Report."

A scout came back and reported: "A troop of about 2000 people is marching towards us. The scouts of the other side have entered the alert range. Do you want to remove it?"

"Don't startle the snake."

Veigar showed a bright and innocent smile: "Let the actors...soldiers take their positions, and sell the opponent's scouts well. Make sure they feel that eating us is an easy task."

"Yes, Commander."

Under the order of Vega, more than 700 weak and wounded soldiers rested by the trees, made fires and cooked meals in twos and threes, or built houses with logs on their shoulders, and some even made them in front of the opponent's scouts. Trapped in a third-rate trap, he looked like a horribly defeated soldier.

Taking advantage of this interval, Veigar ordered the large army to be ready for support at any time.

And he himself was hiding in a place with a better view, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Sara Sara-

A few ten minutes later, this army, which thought it was invisible, fell into the encirclement, but Vega did not order the large army to show up immediately, but waited quietly.

Wait for the enemy commander to expose himself.
