Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

Shia is here too?Duke Lei Kui's mind became even more confused, why did this girl follow her?Are you courting death?

At this time Romila said: "Yes, let's talk about the business first. My army is still on standby in the north of the city. They are very tired. I don't want them to wait forever."

So everyone put aside the matter of Leoric for the time being, and discussed how to resolve the current crisis—it was a discussion, but it was actually Leorick's unilateral plan.Because if the Duke and the others had a way, they would have used it long ago, and they would not have been besieged until now.

Leoric first asked his father-in-law, "Duke Lei Kui, how many soldiers do you have?"

Duke Requi raised five fingers and said, "Five thousand infantry, five hundred knights."

Leoric nodded and said, "Where's the enemy?"

"The enemy claims to be 3, but it is exaggerated. The actual number is [-] to [-]."

Leoric asked again: "Do your soldiers still have the courage to fight?"

Duke Lei Kui folded his arms, and with a sullen smile on his face, he said loudly, "A joke! If we didn't have the courage to fight, wouldn't this city have been lost long ago?"

Leoric also pursed his lips into a smile, and said calmly, "I'm asking my lord, do you and your soldiers still have the courage to attack the enemy?"

Duke Lei Kui's face darkened, "What do you mean?" The lieutenant next to him also asked, "You mean, the courage to attack?"

Leoric raised his head and said solemnly: "Yes! I'm asking this kind of courage!"

"As far as I know, the Leikui family has guarded the swamp for more than [-] years, and it is the most solid cornerstone of the kingdom. Whether it is the barbarians going south to fight the autumn wind, the pirates and bandits in the East China Sea, or the swamp rebellion in the south, it is the Leikui family. People personally defeated them. People say that as long as there is the Lei Kui family, Xiao Xiao will not dare to make mistakes. So today, the rebel army broke the city wall and came to besiege the Shanshen Fortress. There is no need for me, an outsider, to talk too much, my lord There must be a bad breath in your heart, right?"

"I want to create an opportunity for you to avenge your shame, but I don't know how much blood you and your generals have? How much courage do you have left? If you open the door to meet the enemy, should you advance or retreat?"

I have to say, Leoric really understands the romance of men.

Hearing these words, Duke Lei Kui felt a surge of passion in his heart - history, responsibility, honor, shame!These words flickered in Duke Leigui's chaotic mind, like a wildfire, burning up all the distracting thoughts in his heart.He recalled his thoughts when he first joined the army, recalling the most primitive and purest impulses.

Dignity, Courage, Victory, Glory!

Yes, what is Mythri the walrus?He also deserves to compare with me?Lao Tzu rejects barbarians in the north and kills pirates in the south. He has killed more people than he has eaten rice. Why should he?

The Lei Kui family goes up the family tree and traces nineteen generations of heroes!Famous generals from generation to generation, all families are loyal!How did it come to my generation to let a group of mobs fight so embarrassingly?

"Okay!" Duke Lei Kui jumped up, the blood under his gray skin was swollen, and the anger in his eyes was awe-inspiring, "Leoric, if you can break the deadlock and create the conditions to attack, then the five members of the Lei Kui family Thousands of soldiers are at your disposal."

Lieutenant General Ogamat also got up, and said excitedly: "If we open the city to meet the enemy, I would like to be the vanguard and charge forward to kill the enemy!"

Leoric's words were intentional. As soon as he entered the door, he felt that the two generals of Lei Kui's family had no fighting spirit, and they were fighting hard. If they don't stimulate them, the next battle will be difficult.

Leoric smiled and said, "Okay, give me a copy of the map, and I will arrange the next battle."

The lieutenant put the map on the table, and Leoric was about to read it when he suddenly shouted: "Wait, Leoric, I forgot to ask just now, how many troops did you bring?"

Leoric replied, "Elf rangers, a thousand in all."

"1000 people? Fucking 1000 people!?" Duke Lei Kui shouted immediately.

Feeling cheated, Lei Kui fed the dog with all his blood, and said angrily: "Leoric, I thought you brought at least 1 people here, your 1000 people, plus ours, don't you?" Only [-] people? There are [-] to [-] enemies."

Leoric had already expected that they would say this, so he said, "How does the enemy's commander, the walrus Misri, compare to the crow king, Charedan?"

Ogamat smiled and said, "The Crow King is one of the four barbarian kings. He has hundreds of thousands of elite troops under his command, and his country spans thousands of miles. Although this walrus is fierce, it is not worthy to be compared with him."

Leoric smiled and said: "That's it, since I dared to rob the Crow King's 3 army with [-] cavalry, why can't I use [-] rangers today to defeat the [-] or [-] troops of Walrus Mythri? "

"This……"

Lieutenant General Ogamat was speechless, and immediately turned his head and asked, "Duke, look at this..."

Duke Lei Kui was also silent. What Leoric said was the truth. The battle of eight hundred against one hundred thousand had already become a poem sung by bards and a well-known story.This matter was also mentioned in Shia's family letter, and she praised Leoric's bravery and resourcefulness without hesitation.However, after all, Duke Lei Kui had never seen it with his own eyes, so it was hard to believe such a thing.

He thought for a while and said, "Okay, let me see your strategy first."

"Thank you for your trust."

Leoric brought a map, which included the entire "Mithras City", the terrain outside the city, and the mountain god fortress.The drawing was very detailed. Then, Ogamat roughly marked the location of the enemy's camp and the deployment of troops, and said that the military information was very precious, and their scouts had exchanged their lives for it.

Here's the thing -- we're talking from the inside out.

In the center of the map is the "Mountain God Fortress", which is the castle of the Lei Kui family, where Leoric and others are now.

Outside the fortress is the "City of Mitras".The city has fallen, and the four outer walls are occupied by "Walrus" Misri. Half of his troops are stationed inside the city walls, besieging the "Mountain God Fortress" of Duke Requi, and the other half are still in the camp in the south. There is a certain distance between the two forces.

The outermost circle is Leoric's elven cavalry regiment. They are all lurking on the hillside in the north of the city, and they cannot enter the city now.

In addition, after reading the map of the city, Leoric had another thought: It is estimated that the person who first built the city had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

He has never seen such a square city plan, with round lands in the southeast, north, and west, and the streets on the map are like your mother's tic-tac-toe.Leoric couldn't help laughing with his lips crooked, thinking: This is simply a battlefield tailor-made for me.

Leoric already has an idea, the first thing is to bring the Knights into the city.He said: "Romela, go to the north gate to inquire about information, I want to know the detailed defense situation."

"Yes, General."

Romila opened the gate, poked the floor with her cane, turned into countless butterflies, and flew out of the castle.The members of Lei Kui's family were amazed.

Ogamat said, "The magic is beautiful."

The Duke asked: "Are these butterflies equivalent to your scouts?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Lei Kui." Leoric replied.The lord is both an ally and an old man, so there is no need to hide from him.

"This is amazing!" The Duke exclaimed sincerely.

Thommen Reque is well aware of the importance of intelligence.He believes that in order to win a war, logistics should come first, intelligence should come second, and everything else should come back.

Why is information important?This matter is not clear in a few words, so we might as well compare war to two people fighting.This person fights, relying on physical strength, fists, and weapons.

Then logistics is the physical fitness, which represents how long he can fight; tactics are moves, which represent how to punch and kick; soldiers' quality weapons and equipment, etc. represent strength, which represents how much blood can be hit with one punch; then, The role of intelligence is also obvious:

Intelligence is equivalent to the sensory system of these two people-eyes, nose, ears, and touch.

It is conceivable that when two people fight, one is bright and the other is blind + deaf, the result of the outcome can be imagined.Even if the blind man is a strong man and holds a magic weapon, he cannot win the battle.

And, intelligence can mean more than a pair of eyes.Because, if the battle between the two armies is really compared to two people fighting, then in terms of ancient investigative methods, both of them are highly myopic + hearing impaired.In ancient times, there were very few ways to inquire about intelligence. At best, they sent scouts on fast horses and brought binoculars at most, which was almost the same; or they sent out spies to infiltrate the enemy army. Everyone's race is different, it's too easy to be discovered——

Agent: How did you find me?

KGB: Because we had no blacks in the USSR.

Duke Leigui has the best scouts. These scouts ride fast horses, don't wear armor, bring their own dry food and drinking water, move secretly, have good eyesight, and have received special training. They are proficient in camouflage, reconnaissance,

Can also read, write and listen in many languages.They are not responsible for fighting at all, only for intelligence gathering.

But in any case, this kind of intelligence investigation still stays in human flesh investigation, that is to say, the scope of intelligence collection does not exceed the line of sight.

However, Leoric has a lot of "drone" scouting, which directly raises the battle level.

Duke Lei Kui was keenly aware of how terrible this matter was.He looked at the direction where the little butterflies left and thought:

The strategic significance of these little guys is comparable to that of a cavalry regiment.

Well, this time there is a good show to watch.

Chapter 110: Cavalry, but information warfare

The butterfly flew back quickly, and Romila drew a detailed defense plan on a piece of white paper based on the information she had just seen.

While drawing the picture, the Elf Queen thought with complicated emotions:

Lord Leoric really knows how to use me better than I can.

In fact, before this, Romila never thought that her "butterfly clone" could be used in this way.After all, half-breed elves don't like war, and Romila is not a general. Most importantly, they don't have the concept of "intelligence warfare".Therefore, Romila never expected to be able to play like this, or she occasionally used butterflies to inquire about intelligence, but she did not form a "tactical thinking".

Leoric has this kind of thought.As a modern person, especially a modern person who loves government affairs, he understands the power of intelligence warfare very well.

During the Gulf War in the United States, a cross-age electronic warfare and information warfare was fought. The power displayed can be said to have frightened the military of various countries at that time.Relying on a series of jamming equipment such as electronic jamming equipment and tactical communication jammers, the Americans almost cut off the communication on the side of the bearded man. All electronic equipment, radar, and communication are all finished—by the way, the communication on the bearded man’s side Much of the equipment is American made.Then the bearded command was directly deaf-mute and blind, and all the soldiers became headless chickens.

When Leoric looked back at this period of history, he was greatly shocked.The concept of information warfare = awesome was deeply imprinted in his mind.

So when he saw that Romila could control the butterfly, he had this idea—butterfly = drone; cavalry regiment = motorized force.Fight flexible combat, fight mobile combat, and fight decapitation!

It's just that Leoric at that time didn't know anything about commanding cavalry, and his tactics were still at the stage of "keyboard talk".It wasn't until he went to the Library of Truth and studied the encyclopedia of cavalry knowledge called "The Way of the Knights" that he finally put together the last piece of the puzzle.

Now, he's going to try his new tactics!

After Romila finished drawing the message, Leoric carefully studied the information inside.The two generals of the Lei Kui family also hurried over to check, and saw that the defense map was so detailed that it included the number of defenders on the entire northern city wall, the location of the siege equipment, the internal terrain, the location of the gates, and the keys. Where, even accurate to the time difference of the patrol post.It can be said that the entire north city wall is lying here like a girl who has been stripped naked, allowing people to watch.

Seeing this scene, Duke Lei Kui's back felt a little chilled: Then wouldn't this city defense become an old dancer in a dilapidated kiln, and you can watch three episodes for one dollar?Fortunately, Leoric is on our side, otherwise it would be troublesome.

But now this trouble belongs to Misri the walrus. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.

Leoric took a look at the intelligence map of the city wall, and said: "It seems that the enemy has completely considered that there will be enemies in the north. There are only about a hundred people in such a wide city wall, and there are almost no machines to defend the city. And the large army long distance."

"Romela!"

"Yes." Romila got up and saluted.

Leoric said: "Now you pass my order to divide the thousand cavalry regiments into ten squads, one hundred people to one team, and choose an experienced man with a loud voice as the captain. But remember, let They call themselves commanders!"

"Commander?" Romila blinked.

"Yes, Commander! Ten squads of hundreds, led by ten commanders! When the fight breaks out, let them shout 'I am the commander' in the language of the plateau people, and the traitors come Sue to die!' Shouting while beating, it must be full of momentum."

What kind of tactic is this?Everyone was puzzled and could only watch Leoric operate.

"Okay, I remember." Romera said.

Leoric continued to order: "Then, you stay by my side, and then send a 'Romila operator' to each commander. You will act as a bridge between me and the commanders. Can you do it?"

Romila thought for a while and said, "That is to say, I will stay here and send ten clones over there? That's no problem, my body and clone consciousness are shared."

"Okay, let them prepare for battle, and I will command through your clone."

"Understood!"

The two generals of the Lei Kui family on the side witnessed Leoric's operation, and the deputy Ogamat just felt that he was not aware of it, and kept saying, "As expected of Leoric, he looks so good." The old man Leoric understood roughly, and with years of experience, he could almost deduce what happened later.When he thought of that picture, he felt his heart surge.

It makes sense that Leoric dared to come to support with a thousand cavalry.

If his tactics are successful, this will definitely be a battle written in textbooks!

History will remember this day.

By the way... this guy will become my son-in-law, right?

My daughter has really good eyesight.He stroked his chin, thinking with a smile.

Romila and Leoric came to the window of the corridor and began to cast magic. At this time, Romila stroked the Silmarillion on the staff with her palm, and the diamond gradually emitted a crystal green light.Then she took a pill and her body began to tremble slightly.About half a minute later, she chanted a spell in Elvish, and her skin turned slightly red.About 2 minutes later, many "flower fairies" flew out from under Romila.

Seeing this scene, Leoric frowned and thought: So I'm really curious where these little things come from!

Duke Requi knew that magicians didn't want others to observe the process of casting spells, so they consciously avoided when Romila cast spells.After the magic was finished, the two came out of the house.Seeing the flower fairies flying out of the window, the Duke asked, "Leoric, should we attack the North Gate next?"

Leoric said, "Yes, Duke Reque."

The Duke said: "The fortress is besieged, the main entrance is impassable, and there is a small path through the back entrance, but there should also be heavy enemy guards there. I can send my best warriors..."

Leoric held up his palms and said, "No, I have a solution."

As he spoke, he came to the north city wall and showed the red rune in his hand.

"Come, my servant!"

Leoric clenched his fist hard, and the demon rune in his hand immediately flashed red.Then two red inverted pentagram magic circles appeared at his feet. There was a hazy red light in the magic circles, and there were horrible whispers, and there was a smell of blood in the air.Both the Duke and the lieutenant looked serious, and the lieutenant Orgamat whispered to the Duke, "Is this black magic?"

The Duke nodded and said nothing - first it was elves, then it was black magic, and Leoric had too many cards in his hand.Oh, fortunately he is my son-in-law, that's fine.

Then, Pushila and Searle appeared in the magic circle, and they both knew that this was a formal occasion, so they both bowed gracefully to Leoric and said in unison: "My master, what are your orders?" ?”

What a face!Leoric forced Glamon in front of his father-in-law, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help grinning.He coughed dryly, regained his serious attitude, and said, "I order you two to open the northern city gate."

"Yes, Master!"

"You two also take a Romila, and let us know as soon as the city gate opens."

"Yes."

A little Romila got into Priscilla's pocket, and Priscilla flapped her wings into the air, and the Cerberus grabbed her feet, and the two of them flew down the city wall.

The two generals of Lei Kui's family were very surprised when they saw this scene. Duke Lei Kui asked, "Is this a demon?"

"My servant," said Leoric.

"Why would the devil be your servant?"

Leoric clenched his fist and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because of my strength."

Are you strong?Indeed, power is truth, the Duke laughed.Suddenly, he thought of one thing: the rumored Leoric was a bloodthirsty murderer and a reckless man who was not afraid of death. It was said that he was brave, but his wisdom was rarely mentioned.But today's Leoric is not at all like a reckless man, but brave and resourceful.It seems that the rumors are still untrue!

The fortress has a good view and can see the situation on the north city wall. When everyone looked north, they saw that the succubus and hellhound had already flown to the edge of the city wall.The two of them probably discussed tactics, the succubus quietly flew over the defenders, and as soon as they let go, they made a "big dog from the sky"!Gouzi fell into the crowd and immediately turned into a human form. The muscular giant dog swung his fists in the crowd and beat the defenders to their knees.
