Chapter 396 The true face of the war
It is not easy to wipe out an army completely. In this battle just now, Lu Chen took advantage of the right time, place and people, but was still escaped by seven or eight people.
The Tiansheng Alliance wanted to swallow up an army of more than 8,000 people, but their more than 30,000 troops were still not enough. So in this case, they chose to encircle and gradually erode.
This approach takes a long time and has many variables, so it is easier for the encircled troops to find opportunities to break through. Therefore, the Tiansheng Alliance will never divide the troops for the 500-man regiment that has escaped from the first completely encircled line. At most, they will send a powerful force to block the Beicheng Pass and intercept the defeated soldiers of the Snow God Guild who want to return to the city.
"There are more than one batch of equipment in this batch..." Lu Chen changed direction and ran wildly with the brute arrow formation. During the period, he called Noya to the front. Noya thought Lu Chen was going to say the next plan, but his face was serious, but he heard a word that made her helpless.
"I understand..." Noya rolled her eyes speechlessly, then retreated back to her position.
"Reported, 15 people were killed, and all except for three musketeers were rescued." The intelligence officer arrived again. This time the battle was very good. Although this battle was like a regular army meeting a militia, it was completely normal to win.
However, because Lu Chen's command was properly and his tactical arrangement was perfect, 90% of the enemies with extremely strong mobility were wiped out, and at the same time, his own injury was still ten, which was considered a classic battle.
The intelligence officer has decided that after the war, he would combine all the videos and intelligence during this period to make an article and circulate and learn within the guild.
"Hmm? Don't we have more than 40 priests? Their [Resurrection] skills should have cooled down, right?" Lu Chen frowned. According to his idea, this battle must be zero damage.
This battle is different from the previous breakthrough battle. They have enough time and conditions to escape from the battle to save people, so why can people die?
"Uh... Musketeers have too little effect in mobile combat. According to usual practice, it is best to keep the priest's [Resurrection] skills in case of unexpected encounters later."
"No. I will control the rhythm of the battle. I usually only need to fight within half an hour. After that, everything I can save is saved!"
"I understand..." The intelligence officer wanted to say something, but he held it back. He could see that Lu Chen was a novice in command and could command so well. He could only say that he usually studied a lot or had good command talent.
But novices are novices. They don’t understand many professional command terms at all. They don’t have any taboos and common sense for some commanders. This is something that experts can see at once.
Lu Chen also understood his weaknesses, but he also had his own understanding. He could never copy and copy the command of this thing. He was a master who could formulate countermeasures according to local conditions.
"I remember that after walking fifty miles from Beichengguan, there was a small business road transfer town, right? Today... it happened to be the day to protect the business..."
Lu Chen suddenly remembered that this game would take five days a month to protect the large caravans between the city by NPC. On the last day of the business protection, Ouyang Qingcheng also took the staff of the business to participate, transporting a batch of scarce masks and equipment and shovel gold ore in Mellon City, and earning hundreds of gold coins at one time.
"Yes..." The intelligence officer nodded subconsciously, then looked at Lu Chen in surprise, his face looked ecstatic, and he unconsciously used a respectful word, "What do you mean..."
"Well... this matter is kept secret, don't tell it out for now..." Lu Chen nodded. He was under great pressure, and everyone present knew that although the breakthrough battle and the ambush that just fought were considered a great victory, it was still a big question whether they could escape from this battlefield alive.
Tens of thousands of Tiansheng Alliance troops were cruising on this mountain range, and several main roads must have been blocked. For a small path, there is a chance of breaking through, but the risk is greater than that of the main road. Because once an ambush is imminent on the small path, the consequence is 95% of the entire army.
"I understand..." The intelligence officer nodded heavily. Although Noya's personal guard regiment had been with Noya's father for several years and was very reliable, otherwise Noya's father would not have handed over this army to Noya at this time.
But there are always things that happen. As long as there is a spy among the people present, the equipment and level of the entire group will be ruined. Therefore, Lu Chen has never mentioned the tactical purpose, but lets everyone run with him.
In the next hour, Lu Chen, based on the reports of the scouts who had scattered, led the guard group to wind forward. Before everyone in the group knew it, the entire team moved north for more than ten miles.
During this period, Lu Chen commanded two more encounters, and twice penetrated the fragile points of the Tiansheng Alliance defense line. The results were not great, but the losses were not big. The formation of the front arrow formation could still be maintained, but the number of people finally dropped to about 450.
"Lu Chen, everyone's physical strength is not good..." Noya was a little worried, not only because of the situation of the personal guard group, but also because news came from the guild five minutes ago that tens of thousands of troops from the Tiansheng Alliance had indeed begun to siege.
The eight thousand broken rear troops of the Snow God Guild were divided into three parts and fled in panic in the wilderness, unable to gather together at all. And an army of only two or three thousand people was very difficult to break through the defense line, because most of the quasi-god masters of the Snow God Guild had evacuated, and few people could take the lead alone.
"I know." Lu Chen knew more about physical exhaustion than anyone else, so he kept controlling the rhythm. Otherwise, after an hour, he would have been running wildly and fighting fiercely, and everyone's physical strength would have been bottomed out.
"If there is no new force joining this battle, our situation will not be optimistic..." Lu Chen was also helpless. The news just heard back was that the main road leading to the north commercial road transit town was also blocked.
Lu Chen had never imagined that with insufficient troops, the Tiansheng Alliance actually extended its defense line to a distance of 30 miles from Beicheng Pass. Their commander thought of this situation early on, guarding against Lu Chen's move, so that the army of the Snow God Guild could not go south or north.
The east-west direction is the way down the mountain. The monsters at the foot of the mountain are so high that one or two elite monsters are enough to destroy the personal guards present.
"The new force... where to find it..." Noya sighed helplessly. The blockade skills of the mercenary group could last for a whole day and were not allowed to go offline during the period. If they were forced to go offline, people would stay where they would leave no loopholes.
"Actually... there is one 5 miles away from the northwest of our country..."
