I traveled through time and became a slave, and the noble lady was obsessed with me

Chapter 488 The real battle line

"Isn't this battle over yet?"

Casey sat on the chair and muttered to himself, his eyes full of confusion, and he couldn't find the shrewd look he had before.

But a voice came from behind.

"It's not over yet!"

The door to the room behind him was opened at some point. Marcus, covered in injuries, was standing by the door, with many other officers around him.

Although Marcus' character is very annoying, the fact that he is indeed a man cannot be erased.

"I will keep fighting."

"This is all because of me. Even if I die, I will die in Deep Valley City."

Marcus' voice was not strong, but everyone could hear the firmness in his words, and at the same time, people could hear the death intention in his words.

He still blames himself, because he took Casey away, which led to Sharon's death.

Even if he dies, he must die under the deep valley city.

Marcus's will to fight to the end failed to inspire Casey's fighting spirit.

Casey's despair is because he is too familiar with the current situation.

This was originally a city defense battle with no confidence. If Sharon hadn't persisted, they would have been defeated long ago.

Not seeing hope is the source of despair.

"Well, I also want to defend Deep Valley City, but I don't want to mention the orcs hiding in the canyon."

"We can't defend even the troops of the Black Thorn Tribe alone."

"We now have less than 30,000 people left, and the equipment used to defend the city is only a few thousand arrows. Even the stones and rolling logs have been exhausted."

"What can we do to defend the orcs?"

Casey asked desperately.

After almost half a month of fighting, all their preparations had been wiped out.

If it were other legions, they might have retreated long ago. It is already rare that they can persist in retreating now.

Even Marcus, who was full of fighting spirit, turned gray and defeated at this time.

Having a fighting spirit does not mean there is hope.

The reality is that they are short of major generals and have no resources to defend the city. This cannot allow them to resist the orcs with all their blood.

At this moment, Chen Fan interrupted them.

"It's not like we don't have a chance. Is there a map here?"

Casey was stunned for a moment, then nodded, walked to the corner, pulled it gently, and a very complete military map was revealed.

This military map was drawn bit by bit by the garrison stationed here for hundreds of years. It is absolutely very accurate.

The deepest part extends for hundreds of kilometers into the Deep Leaf Canyon, and even the jumbled peaks on both sides have accurate records.

Wherever there are trees, where there are rivers, roads and paths, and resource points everywhere, they are all clearly visible.

Chen Fan's eyes lit up when he saw this map.

Before getting the important task of coming to Shengu City, Chen Fan had been studying the entire topography of Shengu City.

The record that Casey saw before, the classic battle record book that took place here, is the evidence.

But those are far less detailed than this map.

The style of each legion is determined by the commander who leads it.

Sharon himself comes from the bottom, he is very brave, good at offense, field combat, and frontal fighting is definitely not a problem for him.

Therefore, this also resulted in the entire advancing army, under his leadership, moving forward in an overall style. This is what Chen Fan wanted to scold General Baker for.

Is it right to use a sharp spear as a shield?

Since Sharon took over the important task of defending the city, he has been restrained. Their army does not know how to defend the city at all, and it is the same from top to bottom.

Although the other party defended Shengu City, Chen Fan still had a lot to complain about.

Pointing to the military map, Chen Fan bluntly pointed out their mistakes.

If you want to be convincing, you must come up with something practical.

"You really have too many problems in defending the city."

"The first point is the view. Although the mountains on both sides are difficult to climb, it is definitely not impossible to climb before the orcs attack."

"In the past, Deep Valley City had insufficient defenders. It would have been great if only ten thousand people could defend the city. However, your advancing army has 40,000 people."

"Forty thousand people, even if a few thousand are divided from the middle, can now occupy all the peaks and occupy the highest points, forming a fortress that depends on each other."

"Even if you don't occupy the high-altitude field of view, you still have to release the spies to occupy the field of view in the canyon."

"I have to say that in terms of vision, your advancing army can only score zero points."

Casey opened his mouth, trying to explain something, but finally closed his mouth.

They are really not good at defending the city. The advancing legion has never defended the city before.

"The second point is that we don't pay enough attention to resources. Whether it's wood or stone, we are too poorly prepared."

It goes without saying that steel must be transported from the rear, but wood and stone don't need to be transported from the rear.

Originally, Deep Valley City was full of these things, but it was almost completely destroyed the last time it was invaded by orcs.

When the advancing corps settled in in the later period, they paid attention in the early stage, but they just filled up a few warehouses and did not continue to prepare.

These things must be piled up in at least several warehouses to ensure sufficient supplies for the defense of the city.

But at this time, compared to wood, what they lack most is steel.

Arrows are indispensable for steel. A large amount of steel has been used to strengthen the defense of the wooden doors on both sides.

Chen Fan stretched out his hand in front of Shengu City and marked a place to come out.

As I have said many times before, the Deep Leaf Canyon continues to shrink towards the end.

The place Chen Fan was pointing to now was a few hundred meters in front of the city, which was also the main location of the battle in the past few days.

"The reason why Deep Valley City has been able to hold on for so long is because of this passage."

"The narrowest place here is only 360 meters. In other words, more than 500 orcs can pass through at most at one time."

"Although the number of orcs is large, what we have to face is not hundreds of thousands of orcs at the same time, but more than five hundred orcs."

Due to the long and narrow terrain and the orcs who are not good at long-range attacks, the only ones they can attack at the same time are the more than 500 orcs at the beginning.

The orcs at the back must wait until the people in front die in battle before they can take up their positions.

In the past, we relied on this terrain, so we could defend the city at the cost of nearly 3,000 casualties of soldiers every day.

Of course, the premise is that these soldiers can fight the orcs head-on.

Having said this, Chen Fan suddenly boldly took a big step back with his fingers.

The further back, the smaller the width becomes.

And don't forget, there is a deep valley city in the middle at the end.

"This is our real battle line!"

Chen Fan pointed at the passages on both sides of Shengu City and nodded heavily.
