502.Happy Stick’s “Longzhong Pair” (page 2/2)
“At present, nine firepower fortresses have been built in the permanent preparation fortifications. We have carefully selected three areas from among them to build larger and more complex permanent preparation fortifications. These are the best ones selected after repeated research on the previous four black disasters. Easily compromised areas.
The Brotherhood of Masons took a more prudent approach.
Through the cooperation of ground bunkers and underground fortifications, we connected these three locations to form the main body of the Maginot Line of Defense. The three main positions were connected through the communication lines dug underground by the kobolds, which perfectly blocked the road leading to Telang along the sewage swamp. Some of the best roads in West Asia.”
Brother Bang pointed to the three bunker groups that had been established below in the air, and explained to Murphy:：
“We will deploy a large number of artillery and stacked trenches in these three positions. The shortest position has a battlefield width of three kilometers in length and five kilometers in width..
The width of this battlefield can limit the numerical advantage of the Jackals and bring out our advantages. Once we enter a wartime state, we will also lay a large number of mines in these key defense areas to delay the enemy's attack..
Outside the three key defensive positions, there is a very complex terrain that cannot allow Jackals to pass through on a large scale. When the defense line is activated, it will cooperate with several positions in the rear. Once a small group of Jackals breaks through, cavalry and cavalry will be dispatched. Infantry encircled and annihilated them.
However, the number of soldiers under your command is still too small. They cannot fully guard these fronts. We will probably call in militia if necessary..”
“It sounds awesome, but I'm not a soldier after all..”
Murphy nodded and asked again：
“But I noticed that your defense line is only in the central area and has not extended to the two wings toward the swamp. Why?？”
“Not enough people, not enough time, my lord.”
Happy Stick sighed and said：
“Although the Bloodclaw clan can provide us with a lot of kobold labor, and although the Stonemason Brotherhood is constantly bringing "supporters" from the Plantagenet Kingdom into the construction of positions, it is still difficult to complete the nearly two-mile journey from the Crimean Fortress to the Smuggler's Grove. A comprehensive defense of 100 kilometers is impossible.
According to the current progress, it will take at least ten years to completely build a wall like the Crimean Fortress.
We don’t have that much time and resources, and even if we do build a Great Swamp Wall, it’s impossible to recruit enough soldiers to defend it with the population of Transia..
Most importantly, we don’t have to do that！
The terrain of the Dark Barony is quite rugged. This kind of terrain can make people very uncomfortable in daily life, but it becomes an advantage when fighting.！
In the construction plan of a line of defense, man-made bunkers and fortresses will always complement the natural environment. Excellent generals should learn to make rational use of mountains and terrains and harness the power of nature for their own use..
Maybe this line of defense seems to you to be full of holes, but please believe me, once a war really breaks out, our current manpower is enough to ensure that we can rely on these positions, firepower points and criss-crossing trenches to hold on to both sides without support. more than months！
Of course, the premise is that we can get enough fire support.”
“But you didn't answer my question, Major Stick..”
Murphy asked again：
“You didn't answer me. How will you respond once the gnolls break through from the two wings?？”
“We don't need to deal with it, my lord..”
Happy Stick was forced to tell the truth, and he replied slightly gloomily:：
“If the Jackals break through to the east, they will hit the outer defense area of the Crimean Fortress. Unless General Winter Wolf is crazy, he will not allow the barbarians to leave in a big way..
If they break through through the west, they will follow Smuggler's Woodland into East Prussia and Cato..
With all due respect, sir, under the circumstances of the vicious incident that just occurred in Marlow Town, Marshal Loren will definitely deploy an army there, and if the Jackals cross Lake Sulpers and enter the Cato area,.
Okay, I admit they cause terror there, but what does that have to do with us?？
That's the land of the Plantagenets and the Wolfsbane clan.！”
“You deliberately built the defense line like this! You deliberately left a path to the west！”
Murphy narrowed his eyes, stared at the happy stick, and said：
“Which way do you want the gnolls to go?.”
“Yes, I want the enemy to follow my plan.”
Now that this issue has been discussed, the happy stick is no longer hidden, he said seriously：
“The short man marshal is using us to buy time for his defense line. He regards us as cannon fodder to resist the gnolls. In this case, he must also bear the bitter consequences caused by the breakthrough of the Cato area.！
If the Pioneer Legion can send an elite force of ten thousand people into the western defense line, then there is no way the Jackals can cross this line. They can only fight us to the death in front of the Filthy Swamp..
But the dwarf marshal only sent an observation group and gave us 50,000 soldiers who were of no use at all. This has proved his attitude..
It was his unrighteousness first！
He's not a short-sighted guy.
He just has his own strategic intentions, and he is very evil. He is a very powerful commander. He hopes more than anyone else to see the Transians and Jackals die together so that he can benefit the country behind him..
This kind of loyalty is admirable, but now this form is his own choice
Of course he can weaken us with war！
But since he did it, we can fight back in the same way.
I admit this is vicious, my lord..
But if the wolfsbane vampires in the Cato region cannot resist the invasion of the jackals, then the hinterland of the Plantagenet Kingdom will directly face the threat of black disaster.
King Louis has obviously forgotten the madness when the fourth black disaster swept the continent..
No, he didn't forget, he just thought that the Plantagenet Kingdom was strong enough and history would not repeat itself. After all, he was a human being, and he had not experienced a real black disaster. He was very wise but he was not aware of such a world. The consequences of a war.
but we.
Together with the Gnolls, we will give him a slap in the face to make the proud Sun King realize that we are not his puppets, Transia has power too, and we will not be defeated so easily.
This is what I want to suggest to you next, my lord..”
Happy stick looked around, lowered his voice very low, and said：
“I know you plan to stop the black disaster on the front line of the barren mountain, but that is too risky. We are not afraid of death. However, the thousands of soldiers you have trained so hard represent the future of Transia. Those good guys should not be destroyed. There.
We can be smarter！
Hold there for a while, then retreat proactively, lure the gnolls deep into the swamp, and then leave the rest to me and my Maginot Line..”
“Do you know what you are talking about? Major Happy Stick！”
Murphy snapped.：
“You are suggesting that I take advantage of the black disaster! The prerequisite for you to be able to execute your plan perfectly is that your defense line must be strong enough to withstand the Black Disaster's frontal attack. Only when they realize that they cannot break through from the front will they take the initiative to divide their troops on the two wings..
This means your defenses will be under unprecedented pressure.
if you fail
If you lose, you can just walk away! Consider this a sad defeat, but all the consequences must be borne by me and my people.
No！
I can't accept this suggestion.”
“we can！”
Happy Stick said stubbornly：
“We will stay here until all tactical objectives are achieved! Sir, please don't forget, we will not die. This is my confidence to hold this line of defense! As long as I have three thousand immortal heroes, I can stay here until I die of old age
All my suggestions are based on Transia's interests..
You can be a good governor and use your own way to survive the Black Disaster, but King Louis and the Wolf Lady will not thank you for this, and Transia will still fall victim to the struggle between the two countries for hegemony..
In the final analysis, our position determines that it is impossible for us to rise in a normal way..
We have to prepare for the future. To weaken the enemy is to strengthen ourselves. If we can do both at the same time, it would be perfect..
What do you say?？”
Facing Happy Stick's first such heartfelt proposal, Murphy fell silent..
After several minutes of thought, he took one last look at the defense below and said：
“Consider this a backup plan. I will try out the Black Disaster in Barren Mountain with my warriors first. There is also the second thing..”
Murphy looked at the happy stick and said：
“Tris has completed the research and development of 'Alien Yellow Gunpowder' under the guidance of Lumina. The fire support you want is not impossible, but you need to find ways to increase production capacity yourself. Major Stick, I hope you understand this reality.！
If Transia is gone, everything you have put in here will be in vain..”
He stared at the happy stick, activated the power of desire to listen to the other person's heart, and whispered after a few seconds：
“At that time, you will say goodbye to your Melia forever. If you can understand all this, then I can give you a chance to ask me. You can ask me a question, and I will answer it without reservation. Answer for you, Mr. Liu.”
Brother Bang’s hair is getting cold at this moment.
He clenched his fists.
At this moment, he realized very clearly that the person next to him could never be an NPC! Under Murphy's gaze, his lips moved, and finally he didn't ask a question but said：
“I don’t have any questions to ask. I’m very satisfied with my current life. I don’t hate Melia either..”
“very good! that's what i want to hear.”
Murphy nodded and said：
“Then be prepared. If you win, I can give you the source of blood. I know that you, a guy who pursues perfection, do not need a servant..”
