Chapter 501: All grass and trees are soldiers

"Everyone must be aware of the current death situation, but I still want to say it." Ge Long looked at everyone and said.

"Well, the frontal coalition army was killed by the Star Luo Empire's heavy armored army, killing more than 53,000 people and injuring more than 20,000 people." Andrew glanced at the four marshals of the four kingdoms' coalition forces indifferently and said.

The marshals of the four kingdoms knew that they were wrong and did not dare to refute at all.

"Only more than 300 people in our Xuanwu Army were killed and more than 3,000 people were injured," Xuanwu Hou Shishan said.

"In the Fengwu Army, more than 100 people were killed and more than 5,000 were injured." Andrew continued.

"Twenty-nine members of the Royal Knights were killed and more than 800 were injured." Lu Yuan also said, "No one in the soul master legion was killed, and only more than 200 defensive soul masters were injured."

Originally, the Royal Knights, under the leadership of Lu Yuan, had been suppressing the Blood Wolf Cavalry, but even when the Wild Lion Cavalry appeared later and the Soul Master Legion joined the battle, the situation was still good.

Subsequently, these casualties occurred only because Ren did not dare to confront Lu Yuan and Meng Shenji head-on, and directly used the martial soul avatar to target the Tiandou Royal Knights and the Soul Master Legion.

Even if it weren't for the defeat on the frontal battlefield, which led to the arrival of reinforcements from the Star Luo Empire's heavy armored corps, Lu Yuan could have led the Tiandou Royal Knights and the Soul Master Legion to severely kill the two cavalry armies of the Star Luo Empire.

"The casualty situation is still acceptable, but I have some bad news to tell you. Our casualty situation is still acceptable, but the Star Luo Empire's casualty situation should be more optimistic than ours." Ge Long said in a deep voice.

"On the frontal battlefield, the opponent's casualties were less than five thousand!"

Lu Yuan frowned. This means that the Xingluo Empire only suffered less than 5,000 casualties, but the combined forces of the four kingdoms on the front battlefield suffered more than 80,000 casualties. The Xuanwu Army and the Fengwu Army suffered casualties. It can be ignored.

Is this the Star Luo Empire’s military capability that ranks first in the mainland?

Lu Yuan took a deep breath. With the combined forces of the four kingdoms, it seemed that they could only block the Star Luo Empire's offensive, but they could not defeat the Star Luo Empire...

Fortunately, the current reports from detailed operations and scouts are that the Star Luo Empire currently only has 800,000 troops.

The Tiandou Empire has a total of 1.1 million troops this time. Each of the four kingdoms' combined armies has dispatched 150,000 troops. In addition, there are 150,000 troops united by other principalities, which is enough. 750,000 Kingdom Alliance Army.

The central legion of the Tiandou Empire consists of the five major military lords each dispatching 50,000 troops, while the remaining troops guard the imperial capital.

After all, Emperor Xueye and the royal family are still in the imperial capital, so they can't all be sent out. If rebels suddenly invade the imperial capital, or the soul beasts attack again, who will protect Emperor Xueye and the royal family from evacuating?

Therefore, the five military princes only sent 250,000 troops to gather in Jialing Pass.

In addition to Lu Yuan's current 50,000 Tianying Army and 50,000 Tiandou Royal Knights, the Tiandou Empire has a total of 1.1 million troops devoted to this war.

1.1 million vs. 800,000, it goes without saying what the advantage is.

In addition, they were backed by Jialing Pass, and this battle was enough to prove that the Tiandou Empire's army could indeed advance, attack, retreat or defend.

Whether you want to fight or not, the Tiandou Empire has the final say.

"We killed more than 30,000 Blood Wolf Riders, and we also caused about 7,000 casualties to the Wild Lion Riders," Lu Yuan said.

But after all calculations, the Tiandou Empire still suffered a loss, with nearly 90,000 casualties, but it only caused about 50,000 casualties in the Star Luo Empire.

The casualties were nearly double the opponent's. This time, the Tiandou Empire lost.

The key is that on the frontal battlefield, the combined forces of the four kingdoms have proven that they are simply unreliable.

You never know when they will be defeated due to a few casualties, and then the other fighting armies will be implicated.

"Twice the casualties..." Ge Long took a deep breath and laughed at himself, "This marshal has never lost so miserably."

"But the dominance of the war is still in our hands." Andrew said at this time, "I think based on the current war situation, we still have the advantage."

"Yes, plus the opponent's Blood Wolf Cavalry suffered heavy losses." Shi Shan nodded and said, "It's just that the hateful thing is that the heavy armored legion in front of the opponent is too difficult to deal with."

"Besides bed crossbows and soul masters, there is no other way to deal with heavy armor." Liehuo Hou Yanxian shook his head and said.

The Star Luo Empire dispatched a total of four heavy cavalry legions and four heavy infantry legions this time. These were also the four most powerful regular army legions that the Star Luo Empire had just dispatched from the mainland. With a total of 400,000 troops, it was simply overwhelming the Tiandou Empire. My head hurts like crazy.

This is why, in Douluo Continent, a world with soul masters, there is still an empire and an army.

A 400,000 heavily armored army appeared on the battlefield. If it was a low-level soul master army, it would take at least 30,000 to 40,000 soul masters to defeat these 400,000 heavily armored troops.

And if it were an army composed entirely of soul masters above the Soul Emperor level, it would take nearly 10,000 people to defeat these 400,000 heavily armored elites.

Titled Douluo-level soul masters must have at least five or six, and they must be able to lead groups with soul attack skills.

But the only organization with so many soul masters is the Wuhun Palace.

This is why Wuhundian was so confident in the original plot.

"No, you can also use blunt weapons, right?" Lu Yuan said, "Blunt weapons are also very effective in breaking armor. You can use weapons such as hammers, maces, and maces..."

This is how his Tianying Army envisioned it. For different arms, different battalions were divided into weapon skills to be trained.

For example, in the last Mo Dao camp against cavalry, five thousand people were trained in Mo Dao and special attack tactics against cavalry.

In addition to the Mo Dao Camp, the Tianying Army also has the Stick Battalion, the Long Spear Battalion, and the Short Dao Battalion.

"The empire doesn't have that many blunt weapons..." Ge Long shook his head, "And to make these weapons, it is better to make bed crossbows and let soul masters take action."

Lu Yuan immediately understood. It was not that the Tiandou Empire had not thought of blunt weapons for breaking armor, but that making blunt weapons was really thankless.

It would be too expensive to manufacture a large number of blunt weapons specifically to defeat one unit of arms.

Moreover, the Tiandou Empire is not a country with highly centralized power like the Star Luo Empire.

In the Tiandou Empire, there are still forces like the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect that live in Tiandou City but do not obey the orders of the Tiandou Empire, not to mention that there are many soul masters who are willing to give up their titles in order not to be manipulated by the Tiandou Empire. Yes.

The Tiandou Empire is now like Lu Yuan's previous life at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Several big families, high-ranking officials, and vassal princes below were extremely rich, but they refused to give to the emperor or the court.

The treasury is empty and money must be spent wisely.

Although the Tiandou Empire has not yet reached this point, the fact that the Tiandou Empire will split in the future has shown that he has such a sign.

This is also the tragedy of the royal family being too weak. In this kind of world, no one is willing to listen to your orders.

Lu Yuan frowned, took a deep breath, and made up his mind to train a large army according to the Tianying Army's vision in the future.

As for the iron materials and money used to forge weapons, he has source control over the iron materials and can directly convert them into matter.

Money...does a time traveler have few ways to make money?

It would be too embarrassing to tell anyone.

Of course, this is a matter for the future.

Now we still have to think about how to repel the Star Luo Empire.

After all, all fantasies must be based on reality.

Lu Yuan has not yet ascended to the supreme position, so all this is still empty talk.

But now he still has no way to let the Tiandou Empire lead the ragtag group of Kingdom United Army to defeat the elite division of the Star Luo Empire.

Lu Yuan even couldn't help but recall the familiar art of war in his previous life - "Thirty-Six Strategies".

Surround Wei and rescue Zhao...

Could it be that a large army was sent and Lu Yuan used Source Number to control and open the space gate to threaten the capital of the Star Luo Empire?

No, how could they send a large army to march thousands of miles directly towards Xingluo City?

Even if Lu Yuan's source control could allow the army to cross space, the space transmission distance from Jialing Pass to Xingluo City was still too far.

By crossing this way, it would be easy to fall into the siege of the Star Luo Empire's front and rear armies.

You must know that the Tiandou Empire has invested so much in this war, but it still has not forgotten that nearly half of the five military princes and an entire royal guard regiment were left to guard Tiandou City.

Wouldn't the Star Luo Empire leave Star Luo City completely undefended?

So this definitely won’t work…

Close the door and beat the dog?

Just like how they faced Gao Zhong before, introduce part of the Xingluo Empire's army into Jialing Pass, and then encircle and destroy them?

But will the other side really fall into the trap so easily, allowing them to form a situation where more people fight less?

After all, the Star Luo Empire had already fallen victim to this trick last time...

Next, there will be attacks in the east and west, and tricks...

None of it seems to work.

Just as Lu Yuan was thinking hard.

"Our Tiandou Empire always has a huge advantage in frontal combat. We can advance, attack, retreat or defend. This is an advantage that the Star Luo Empire does not have." Andrew said suddenly at this time.

"Yes, it can be seen from today's battle that even if the frontal battlefield is defeated, our army can still safely evacuate to Jialing Pass, and the other side can't do anything to us." Shi Shan also echoed Andrew's words and responded.

"So now we can use this advantage of our army to break through the frontal advantage of the Star Luo Empire..." Ge Long nodded, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

At the same time, Andrew, Yanxian, Shishan, Senluohou, and Jiefenghou all had inexplicable smiles on their lips.

"It seems that everyone has thought of it." Ge Long looked at the smiles on the faces of the five military princes and suddenly laughed and said.

Lu Yuan and Ning Rongrong both frowned. They still didn't understand what Ge Long and the five military princes meant, especially Lu Yuan. Although he was an imperial general, he still didn't quite understand what he was thinking about.

He did not maintain a posture, but asked directly, "Marshal, I don't quite understand."

He is much more immature than these six old foxes. Even if he is more than forty years old in two lifetimes, he will not live as long as any of them.

Among the five military lords and Ge Long, the youngest ones are Liehuo Hou Yanxian and Ge Long, who are about fifty years old.

For example, Xuanwu Hou Shishan, who is very experienced in both qualifications and age, is in his eighties this year.

Lu Yuan is naturally far younger than their age.

Ge Long and the five military princes were stunned for a moment. They were all surprised when they saw that Lu Yuan still didn't understand.

After all, Lu Yuan's performance so far has been too amazing. Both his cultivation and his performance on the battlefield are far beyond the average person.

Even his courage, courage and strategy put them to shame.

Ning Rongrong didn't think it was normal, and Lu Yuan couldn't think of it either?

I guess what they can think of, Lu Yuan shouldn't think of.

But in fact, Lu Yuan is not a god, nor is he a time traveler who can predict the future. It is impossible for him to cover everything and cover everything. He can do everything.

Human power is always limited. Let alone humans, even the gods in the Douluo Continent’s God Realm cannot think of everything and are almost omniscient and omnipotent.

Even God couldn't create a stone that he couldn't lift, right?

"I hope you will make it clear so that I can cooperate with the generals in their actions." Seeing their surprised expressions, Lu Yuan had no choice but to say.

Xuanwu Hou Shishan coughed, "Ahem, that's actually the case. Since we rely on Jialing Pass, we can advance and retreat freely at any time, but the Xingluo Empire can only passively receive our attack, but...their heavy armor army starts at a very fast speed. It’s slow, and the consumption of soldiers is not small, then we can actually take this opportunity to harass the opponent’s army!”

"The most important thing is that we can make countless mistakes, but the Star Luo Empire cannot make even one mistake!" Lord Gale said with a smile at this moment.

Lu Yuan suddenly understood, and he suddenly said, "So we must launch a war call at various times, whether true or false, true or false!"

"We can retreat to Jialing Pass at any time without being harassed by the other side, but not the Star Luo Empire!" He said with a smile, "Once they want to harass us, as long as they don't rush to the city wall, they can't fake a feint attack!"

"If we really plan to attack the city, that is exactly what we want." Ge Long said with a faint smile on his lips.

"And the other side can only live in peace and exhaustion under our false and real feints and attacks, and even all the grass and trees will be attacked at the slightest sign of trouble!" Lu Yuan said with bright eyes.

"Both trees and grass are soldiers?" Everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Then Ge Long clapped his hands, "This word fits our plan for the next battle."

"When the other party faces our harassment, it will indeed become a 'weapon' in the end." He said with a smile, "And this strategy, the Star Luo Empire has only two ways to deal with it, either to retreat directly, or to fight to the death. , aiming straight at Jialing Pass, with the intention of completing all the efforts in one battle!"

These two coping methods are what the Tiandou Empire wants to see.

The Star Luo Empire chose to retreat, and the Tiandou Empire won without a fight.

The Star Luo Empire chose to attack Jialing Pass. The Tiandou Empire relied on the natural fortress of Jialing Pass to defeat the Star Luo Empire.

Therefore, no matter what, there is nothing the Star Luo Empire can do!
