Best luck

() It has entered late autumn, and the battlefield situation is gradually tilting towards the Tianxiang people. The two sides have been fighting for several months with the Tianxiang River as the boundary. The water level of the Tianxiang River rises during the summer flood season. There was no way to cross the river to launch a surprise attack on the Crusaders, and the Crusaders relied on a large number of warships to attack frequently, and once crossed the river to advance the front line to 200 miles north of the Tianxiang River.

The Tianxiang people can only rely on the continuous Tianxiang Mountains, and take advantage of the mountain forest combat advantages of the half-orcs, dwarves, elves and other ethnic groups to barely hold the Tianxiang Mountains and keep the holy army out of the mountains.

However, after several months of fighting, especially after entering autumn, the attack momentum of the holy army has weakened significantly, and there is a situation of lack of succession. With the end of the summer flood, the water level of Tianxiang River is also dropping rapidly, and the big ships of the holy army are stranded one after another. The shallows can even be waded across the river.

As for the Tianxiang people, with the army of millions of half-orcs led by the Golden Lion King joining them, they fought bravely and joined forces with other ethnic groups to launch a fierce counterattack. .

Leopard came to visit Liang Yong recently, and every time there was good news, it was how many enemy troops her father had killed and how many lost territories had been conquered. At the same time, the 500 million troops newly recruited by the Tianxiang people had also gone to the front line. Under the leadership of the Golden Lion King, he is preparing to launch a river-crossing operation plan with an army of 500 million.

For a while, Tianxiang's morale was high, and the whole continent was filled with the joy of victory, while the army of the Holy Cult retreated again and again, and the situation was not optimistic. Then there were rumors that the top leaders of the Holy Cult were at odds with the front-line generals, saying that the Holy Cult's army The leader felt that after nearly half a year of fighting and spending sky-high military salaries, he failed to defeat the Tianxiang people who had suffered serious disasters. He had lost the confidence to continue the war and was about to withdraw. decline.

When Liang Yong was preparing himself, he did not give up the study of the battle situation. Although he was trapped here, he was able to get the latest battle report through Hong and Leopard, and even obtained a detailed topography of Tianxiang Continent through the generals of the guards. Figure, making a sand table on the battlefield in the living room, spending two or three hours a day to study the battle situation.

When Liang Yong was studying the battle situation, he did not shy away from others. Under his leadership, Leopard, Hong, Orc generals, and even the generals of the Guards all joined the discussion on occupation.

Everyone is very surprised by this exquisite sand table made by Liang Yong. In practice, it is found that it is quite effective. Compared with discussing tactics on a flat map before, the effect is several times stronger, and it is more realistic and targeted.

After acknowledging the role of the sand table, everyone was enthusiastic. Later, when collecting battle reports, they paid attention to the topography of the battlefield, asked the spies to record them in detail, and brought them back to improve the sand table used by Liang, so that it was exactly the same as the battlefield. Every day on the sand table, the small red flag representing the Tianxiang Army and the small blue flag representing the Crusaders can be seen at a glance as long as they adjust their positions according to the battle report.

Even after Udar heard about it, he took his staff and generals to visit twice, and ordered the craftsmen to learn the sand table technique used by Liang and make sand tables in their temple.

However, the sand table tactics they have learned are still superficial, and they are still far from the professional version of Liang Yong. In this way, Liang Yong has gained a lot of benefits. Seeing the value of Liang Yong's staff, Udal is even more interested in Liang Yong. Open, some low-level generals can't know the situation, and send it to Liang Yong without reservation, and share it with him.

It's just that their purpose is not to obey Liang Yong's command, but to learn Liang Yong's sand table tactics. Every day Liang Yong's sand table is updated, and they will update it at the first moment, which is exactly the same as Liang Yong's here. As for how to formulate strategies and tactics in the end , or those of them released it after studying it in the temple, and rarely adopted Liang Yong's opinions.

Liang Yong didn't care about this point. He took out the sand table tactics to discuss with everyone. It was all a hobby. He used this to get to know many middle and lower generals. During the discussions, Liang Yong became closer to them, and Liang Yong's strategic thinking is also infecting them. While they are learning advanced strategic thinking, their respect for Liang Yong has increased dramatically. Not only the half-orc generals, but also the generals of the guards have great respect for Liang Yong.

Relatively speaking, Jingwei generals have better learning ability and are more suitable for this kind of staff work, while half-orc generals are rough and stupid. They are most suitable for charging and fighting with courage.

In the past half a month, military reports have become more intensive. Udal and others have been discussing battle plans all day long, but the battle reports sent to Liang Yong have become scarce. He can hardly get useful information from Udal. The situation can only be collected through the orc internal system and some scattered channels.

The 500 million people crossing the river that the Tianxiang people are formulating is very huge and highly confidential information. Udal naturally ignores Liang Yong again and chooses to block his information. Doing deduction on the sand table, watching the red flags being planted across the Tianxiang River, I also got a general understanding of the deployment of this combat plan.

But looking at this deployment, Liang Yong talked a lot less and spent more time in meditation. When the generals were discussing various tactics fiercely and felt that the future of Tianxiang's army was bright, Liang Yong would publish some amazing theories from time to time, always saying that this was the Holy Spirit. The trap of teaching the army, let everyone be vigilant.

But at this time, his reminder seemed too weak. Everyone saw the whole picture was bright, and they didn't believe Liang Yong's conspiracy theory.

Because Liang Yong's point of view is untenable this time, Liang Yong said that the Crusaders are shrinking their fronts and are forming a pocket formation in the vast water town on the south bank of the Tianxiang River to lure the Tianxiang army to take risks.

But this theory is based on the fact that the water towns in Henan have sufficient water sources. The reality is that there is basically no rain in the Tianxiang Continent this year in autumn, and the Tianxiang River has dried up once in hundreds of years. It has become a large area of ​​grassland sandbar.

This kind of terrain is most suitable for Tianxiang cavalry to charge and fight. They are northerners who are used to fighting in mountains and plains, while the crusaders are more capable of fighting in water towns, and their water army has a huge advantage.

Liang Yong speculated that the Crusades would deploy pocket arrays in the water villages, bringing in the Tianxiang army who were not good at water net warfare, and using the crusaders' strength in water net warfare to siege, but the current situation is that the water sources in the water villages are exhausted, which is more beneficial to the Tianxiang army It is meaningless for the crusaders to deploy such pocket formations in offensive operations.

From everyone's point of view, this is not a conspiracy by the Crusaders at all, but because they have been fighting outside the country for a long time, their personnel and supplies have problems, their morale has become low, and they cannot resist the counterattack of Tianxiang's army, so they have no choice but to retreat. defeated.
