Chapter 136: Strategy

In the remote Higgs territory, in the area occupied by the Holy Demon Empire, an officer is reporting the latest progress of the attack: "The enemy is here and here and has carried out a tenacious blockade on us. We are trying to break through these lines of defense, but the casualties are too serious. Up."

The Holy Demon Empire wanted to advance to Higgsnar and occupy the former capital of Higgs, in order to destroy the resistance of the nearby defenders. This is their commonly used combat strategy, and it is also a very effective combat strategy.

However, this time the offensive did not go smoothly. The Saint Demon Empire’s troops suffered heavy losses during the eastward attack. They made more than 30 kilometers of progress to the south and more than 20 kilometers to the north. As their troops attacked eastward. 0 kilometers, forming a huge protrusion.

About 97 kilometers away from Higgsnar, the offensive power of the Holy Demon Empire has been almost consumed. They hoped that the next time they attacked their opponents, they would collapse completely, but after repeated attacks, they saw the tenacity of the Ailan Hill grenadiers.

These fighters quickly formed a new line of defense behind the broken line of defense, and continued to fight with the support of the Air Force. Both sides will pay a heavy price in every battle. The Holy Demon Empire has now wiped out more than 50,000 troops in Ailan Hill, but the war still shows no sign of ending.

In order to eliminate these 50,000 people, the Holy Demon Empire paid the price of more than 10,000 soldiers. 2000 hard-to-train magicians were killed and hundreds of dragon knights fell. Even more frightening is that even if they attacked so aggressively, there was still no way to formally annihilate Ailan Hill's mortal troops.

The opponent has been retreating in an orderly manner, and only lost some of the second-line troops behind the palace when they were covering the retreat. Even the nearby civilians were evacuated systematically, leaving nothing of value to the Holy Demon Empire at all.

"It is true that they have been retreating, but they have not received a fatal blow. This is also true. I can hardly imagine that if we continue to the east, we will encounter a firm counterattack in Higgsnar." Sit The great magician of the magician army on the side said worriedly.

He was not originally a magician in charge of war, and the magician army was only used to support combat. How to fight and where to fight are all the real generals who have the final say. He only has certain powers to suggest and refuse.

The commander at the head was also in a bad mood. His offensive basically consumed each other with mortals, and did not make any decent progress at all. In this way, he walked all the way to Higgsnar, and he no longer had the strength to move forward.

So he spoke depressed and expressed his worry: "I am not worried about Higgsnar, what I am worried about is the safety of the dragon knight we scattered! Whether the harassment tactic has been successful, we still have no accuracy. The news, this makes it impossible for me to judge whether the enemy has been severely weakened."

A large number of dragon knights, or half of the dragon knight troops on the eastern front, have been sent out to carry out this harassment tactic. However, such tactics will take time to pile up and win, and it will be obtained in a short time The results of the battle will not be intuitively reflected on the front line.

But unlike the past, the commander has been worried that his harassment tactics will not work. It was like the sixth sense of a general. He always worried that the nearly a hundred dragon knights he had sent out would not be able to return to his hands.

Hearing this worry, the magician was first taken aback, then looked at the general and asked: "If the harassment tactics didn't work, why would they fall into the passive retreat?"

Looking at the magician, the general replied helplessly: "That's because we are constantly attacking! You can't feel the positive pressure, but I can feel it! Their defenses have not become fragile, and the logistics supply seems to be too. There is no serious problem."

"Then what do we do now? Give up the plan to continue to attack Higgsnar?" Hearing the commander say so, the magician was also a little panicked, ignoring his and the opponent's choice of the archon. Disagree, continue to ask.

"Yes, I think we are now turning to the south to attack, and it is safer to eliminate this huge protrusion." The commander thought for a while, and seemed to have made a major decision. He has always been worried about the safety of his flank, and it is obviously safer to make some precautions.

The magician obviously disagrees with this decision and questioned: "Do you think that the mortal empire will launch a large-scale counterattack on a strategic level against a magic empire?"

The commander of the Holy Demon Empire sneered and asked, "Why is it impossible? Half a month ago, you didn't believe that the mortal empire could stand up to our attack! But now, they not only parry, but also make us feel. It's under tremendous pressure."

"Well, I admit that the Ailan Hill Empire is different from other mortal empires! Do you think they are planning a counterattack?" The magician also realized that it seemed that his inertial thinking was interfering with his thinking.

The mortal empire in front of you is obviously no longer an ordinary mortal empire. Whether they have flying machines or those **** heavy artillery, they are all terrifying weapons that can bring serious losses to the Holy Demon Empire.

And those Alanhill soldiers who are determined and willing to fight the Holy Demon Empire to the end are also enemies he must take seriously. These originally very weak mortals become dangerous after being armed with these weapons, even if they are magicians, they will pay a heavy price if they are not careful.

"I'm just worried that they are preparing to counterattack, so I plan to change the direction of the attack. First, solve the problem of the protrusion defense on my side, and then consider how to attack better." The commander said his thoughts.

He pointed at the map casually with his hand, and continued to explain: "In addition, there is another advantage to mobilizing troops to go south. At least we can avoid the Higgsnar area, which is the main defense of the other party, and switch to a less strong defense force. Progress is being made in the southern part of the country."

"Yes, I don't have any opinion. You are the commander. It is your right to choose how to attack." Seeing that the opponent is very thoughtful, the magician also thinks that changing the direction of the attack is a good way.

Even he himself may not realize that he subconsciously expects to give up the frontal attack. The commander's decision to focus the attack on the south side actually gave him a sigh of relief.

This attitude shows that he is already afraid of attacking Ailan Hill's defensive positions frontally, because every time he attacks he has to face the bombing of the opponent's attack aircraft, facing the enemy's artillery fire, watching a large number of magicians die, his magic The commander of the legion was very anxious and helpless.

Now, the main force of Ailan Hill can be avoided, which is obviously good news. If the opponent is not as tightly armed as the front, and fought in a quick assault battle, it is also very helpful for the Holy Demon Empire to reduce consumption.

No one likes a tough battle in a stalemate state, everyone is willing to fight the kind of war where the winner can be immediately distinguished. This is true of the Holy Demon Empire, and so is Ailan Hill. Just south of the bulge of the Holy Demon Empire, a huge Elenhill Legion is marching north.

On the already crushed road, a following tank was slowly advancing. Following on either side of these tanks were rows of Elanhill grenadiers carrying rifles.

The truck dragged the 55mm howitzer behind the tank unit, followed by the 05mm howitzer drawn by the war horse, winding along the road to the distance, with no end in sight.

The engine of an e-09 fighter that covered this unit roared and passed over the unit's head at low altitude, and under the wing was a dense 42-steel helmet that was advancing.

On the front engine compartment cover of the Jeep, the dazzling golden eagle is shining light. The officers sitting in the car squinted proudly at the e-09 fighter plane flying by at low altitude, and looked at the other fighter above the top of the fighter plane. A fighter, watching more and more fighters in the distance...

"The Second Army fought quite hard. Once our counterattack begins, they can breathe a sigh of relief!" Wagron put down the binoculars in his hand and looked at Walter, the commander of the Second Army beside him.

He was standing on the dirt **** by the side of the highway, watching the endless army pass by before his eyes. This force was ordered to take the lead in counterattacking the Holy Demon Empire's troops, which was of great significance both from a tactical and strategic point of view.

Walter stood beside Wagron, also overlooking his troops, and said: "The fuel and ammunition are well prepared, and our attack is the most conservative estimate. It can also hit Barlow, and the opponent will realize that their back is coming. Cut off by us."

Wagron was very concerned about his first battle against the Holy Demon Empire, and he reminded Walter: "If nothing happens, they will immediately return to the army to consolidate their rear, and we will face their counterattack."

Wall nodded his head, and there was some anxiety in his heart, but he sorted out his emotions, and said firmly: "A hard fight, we have never fought such a difficult battle. Even so, I still have the confidence to complete the task! "

Satisfied with Walter's answer, Wagron nodded and encouraged: "As long as we hold on, this Holy Demon Empire army can stay in Higgs... stay here forever!"

"Yes, we will be the first mortal army to invade the magic empire!" Walter said proudly.

"Victory belongs to Ailan Hill! Long live the Emperor!" Wagron looked into the distance with firm eyes.

"Victory belongs to Ailan Hill!" Walter also said: "It also belongs to our Army! Long live the Emperor!"
