Lin Mu stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the sergeants who were constantly attacking various caves.

The soldiers of the True Dragon Legion, carrying wolf shields or stainless steel shields, advanced slowly like snails on the rugged mountain road. When they were about to approach some caves, countless black arrows suddenly erupted from the cave entrances, like bees. It was like a buzzing sound, and the arrows hit the shield or armor, making a clanging sound. However, some unlucky soldiers would be shot by arrows into some parts of their bodies that were not properly protected. After several puffs, the soldiers They groaned, splattered with blood, and were rescued by Pao Ze from behind.

After the buzzing black arrows, a burst of red 'iron ore fire rain' suddenly erupted from the cave entrance. These 'rains' were accompanied by little sparks of fire water, and bounced on the mountain grass with a squeaking sound. .

It was the ore that the craftsmen in the foundry base melted and cast into refined iron. They were casually put into the furnace to be heated, and then thrown out to be used as defense materials.

Some soldiers were hit by the "rain of iron ore rocks". A series of squeaking sounds accompanied by a smell of meat suddenly appeared on the battlefield. The injured soldiers howled incessantly. The soldiers were a little panicked. Helplessly, the team leaders and military commanders ordered, Slowly retreat, not advancing for the time being.

Lin Mu frowned when he saw this. This was a little bad. Before they could fight head-on, they were already suppressed by the soldiers guarding the city. Their morale was greatly affected. Lin Mu is not the commander-in-chief, so he doesn’t know if the system will provide any prompts regarding morale decline.

Unfortunately, the True Dragon Legion currently does not have a top strategist, so this situation caught the True Dragon Legion off guard.

The True Dragon Legion can only rely on Liu Feng, He Yuan and other generals to make their own plans for the battle. When they charge into battle, they are absolutely unambiguous, but when it comes to planning, it is really difficult for them.

In the previous battles against bandits, the True Dragon Legion had prepared in advance and had Feng Zhong and others planning behind the scenes. Now, facing the sudden changes in the battlefield situation, the legion's reaction was lagging behind.

Although the soldiers of the True Dragon Legion are of a relatively high level, war is not only about strength, but also strategies and tactics. In addition to the level of soldiers, other aspects of the True Dragon Legion still need to be improved.

This is a lesson, a lesson for Liu Feng and other generals to reflect on, and a lesson for the True Dragon Legion sergeants to reflect on themselves.

"Liu Feng, when we were on the mission to suppress bandits in the Five Mountains, did the soldiers behave like this when faced with the difficulties of siege? They panicked on their own!" Lin Mu asked seriously.

Lin Mu did not participate in the five-mountain bandit suppression mission, but the results were brilliant. Lin Mu did not learn more about the process in detail, nor did he know the specific performance of the soldiers.

Now, during this attack on Xu Zhao's Qinglong Village, the performance of the soldiers was somewhat unsatisfactory.

"Reporting to my lord, in the past, everyone had plans and routines to attack the city. Now, when we launch the attack, it is a situation of hindsight. The soldiers guarding the city are already ready, so it has been difficult to open up the situation. The soldiers will inevitably There was a mistake." Liu Feng knew that the soldiers had advanced more than ten times, but no results were achieved. Instead, the number of injured soldiers increased, which caused some psychological loopholes in the soldiers who had been fighting a smooth battle. But Liu Feng, as the commander-in-chief, still needs to defend the soldiers.

"Soldiers of the True Dragon Legion are invincible and invincible when fighting against a favorable wind and trend. But when fighting against a headwind, it is unsatisfactory. In the future, as the commander-in-chief, you need to strengthen training in this area. I will do the same when I return. Let Feng Zhong pay attention to this aspect of training when training."

Feng Zhong's current training plan is to speed up the advancement and level of soldiers, as well as the levels of some skills and specialties. However, as the sergeants encounter more and more battles, it becomes more and more difficult. The battlefield for the soldiers Literacy and battlefield response capabilities also need to be improved.

At the same time, Lin Mu's desire for a counselor also reached its peak. To complete this strategy, we must kidnap a counselor back.

"Liu Feng, you order the soldiers to retreat first and not attack for the time being. First, recharge their batteries to restore everyone's morale and physical strength." Lin Mu instructed Liu Feng.

"No!" Liu Feng had no choice but to give the order. Liu Feng's commanding ability is still immature and needs to be improved urgently. A battle against bandits with outdated equipment and lack of supplies to defend the city is okay, but if it's against an army led by super generals like Cao Ren and Yu Jin, it's like giving away food.

The golden sea that covered the mountains slowly retreated, and I believe that the Qinglong Army guarding the city also breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Mu gathered Liu Feng, He Yuan, Wang Sheng, Zhang Hu, Shang Gong and other generals together and sat on a mountain lawn to discuss the situation of the battle.

It was not that he ignored the five thousand elites who were besieged in the cave, but that there was no way to advance for the time being. Lin Mu also believed in the strength of Jia 78 and others. They could persist for a long time in the narrow cave. The five thousand elites carry enough food and grass, so they don't have to worry about being trapped.

The top priority now is to open up the strong defense of Qinglong Village.

"He Yuan, you are rushing forward, have you seen the general of the Qinglong Army who is very good at archery?" Lin Mu asked immediately after gathering.

"When I saw him, he was tall and strong. He was about six feet tall, about twenty-seven years old, with a majestic face, well-muscled arms, and strong strength. But the most conspicuous thing was that he had a scar under his right eye, which made him look ferocious. Vicious." He Yuan recalled.

"Is the scar under his right eye shaped like a crescent?" Lin Mu asked immediately.

"Hey, my lord, have you seen him?" Wang Shenghu next to him asked, indicating that Lin Mu was right.

"Could it be him... it should be him! But how did he join Xu Zhao's command, how did he become the Qinglong Army?" Lin Mu had a guess in his mind and murmured.

In the world of mythology, military commanders generally don't have any scars on their faces. If their faces are injured, they can be cured with some elixirs. Only some scars remain with special meaning. Based on his own memory, Lin Mu knew that only a few top generals would have scars on their faces.

Based on He Yuan's information, Lin Mu thought of a person and asked, "What's his combat power? What is his approximate strength level?"

"We also fought against him at that time, but he never tried his best, as if he was worried about something. Judging from our Huang-level and Xuan-level strength, we guessed that he should have been above the Earth level. The weapons he used were tiger-head spears and bows and arrows, and he swept with one hand The Bafang Spear was so amazing that we only lasted for two rounds before retreating. When we used the sharp knife plan, he took out the bow and arrow from his back and wounded a senior general with one arrow. He hit four out of four arrows, like a sharpshooter. ." He Yuan said bitterly with some lingering fears.

"Okay, I already know the specific situation of this city defense general and everyone's situation in the siege." Lin Mu turned the topic to the siege.

"Liu Feng, now that everyone has calmed down, how do you think this battle should be fought?" Lin Mu asked.

Lin Mu asked Liu Feng, He Yuan and others about the intelligence of the Qinglong Army, but it was of no use. Although they were members of the Qinglong Army before, they were only on the periphery, responsible for some recruit training and other matters. They did not reach the core level of Xu Zhao, so they knew very little about Xu Zhao.

"Lord, I can't think of anything right now." Liu Feng was a little confused.

The original plan was to conduct a sneak attack at night, open up some caves, then slowly advance, slowly occupy other caves, and then occupy various exits and surround them, using this to threaten them and force them to surrender to achieve maximum results.

Unfortunately, it backfired, because the plan to transport troops for a sneak attack was discovered, the defenders were prepared, and the True Dragon Legion attacked in a hurry, resulting in a defeat, falling into a disadvantage, and being helpless.

There are still about 100,000 defenders in this Qinglong Village, which is not a piece of paper. Even if the True Dragon Legion has 200,000 elite soldiers, they still need to fight to show their combat power. Now they are restricted by their defense methods. Everyone They were all holding their breath, and their morale was a little low.

When it comes to siege, there is a generally accepted theory: Only an army ten times more powerful than the defending city can defeat the city head-on. The True Dragon Legion currently does not have ten times the combat power of Qinglong Village, and it is not a regular frontal siege and defense battle.

"What about you?" Lin Mu was a little disappointed, and then asked He Yuan, Wang Sheng and the others. Several of them shook their heads.

Lin Mu was disappointed, but not despairing. Liu Feng and the others had experienced very few battles, and had read even fewer art of war books. Moreover, there were basically no art of war books in Yinglong Valley. They were all passed down by word of mouth from Feng Zhong. Less is taught.

It is really difficult for them to come up with a good strategy.

Lin Mu patted Liu Feng and the others on their shoulders and said softly: "Don't be discouraged, everyone. You lack experience. You also have little experience in observing and analyzing factors such as the right time, place, people, etc. You can just strengthen it in the future. This battle is a lesson."

"Since you have no other choice, just use the strategy I just thought of, and you should also learn from it." Lin Mu came up with a strategy that came to mind.

"In marching and fighting, in addition to the soldiers' strength, logistics and other righteous aspects, there are also auxiliary factors such as the right time, place, people and other miraculous factors. Today, I will let everyone see the power of miraculous ways as auxiliary factors." Lin Mu said slowly .

"The Qinglong Army is stuck in the cave, and it is difficult to attack it for a while. However, the Qinglong Village is built in a cave, and its function is to forge weapons, so there is a huge disadvantage: heat!"

"Hot?" Liu Feng and others asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's heat. Heat includes many things. The first one is geothermal. Casting weapons requires the construction of many furnaces and high temperatures, so it must be very hot in the mountains. In addition, the circulation of breath in the mountains is more difficult than in an empty city. The breath Turbidity, this is gas heat! As long as our soldiers pour some cold water into the holes that discharge black smoke, a large amount of hot steam will inevitably be generated. The relationship between geothermal and gas heat will definitely disturb the defenders. If you use your troops to attack forcefully, there will be miraculous results." Lin Mu came up with an immature strategy.
