Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 175 Preliminary Preparations
Although the alliance treaty states that the attack will be launched in three months, Di Feng is about to start preparing for the war now.

For example, order the Women's Army to occupy the one-kilometer Gobi terrain, and choose a suitable passage to enter the mountain area to start building an advance base.

This forward base includes military camps, training grounds, warehouses, simple weapon repair factories, and craftsman camps.

In this way, the main tasks of Li Xiuning's women's army became training and actual combat, protecting the construction team and supplies in the advancing camp, starting battles with monsters, testing the strength of monsters, and conducting reconnaissance for subsequent large-scale operations.

At the front line, under Di Feng's order, Li Xiuning, who has been here for more than ten days, has completed the familiarization with the new Detachment of Women, and led the soldiers to basically master the rune rifles in their hands.

At the same time, his own strength has been further improved. Originally, Li Xiuning wanted to continue to practice, but he did not expect that there would be a sudden collision of the Mist Territory, which led to an additional enemy in the Qinghe Territory. For this reason, Di Feng had to form a Bai Mujun and Detachment of Women went up to the top.

Li Xiuning, who was still going to practice in Di Feng's castle for a period of time, had no choice but to lead troops immediately, and her original women's army soldiers had just undergone training.

Now, because the monsters in the northern mountains did not invade, they were just testing, and Li Xiuning was given time to organize training, get familiar with weapons, and simulate combat.

After arriving at the garrison, the training for the rune rifle was started immediately, including shooting, advancing, stabbing, retreating and other tactics.

Ten days, although short, but because the Rune Riflemen only have a few basic tactics, it is enough to remember and go through actual combat drills.

This is also a benefit of the Rune Riflemen, there is no need to contact complicated cold weapon dance skills, even if it is a bayonet fight, there are only a few basic movements.

"Commander, orders from the Lord's Mansion."

At the camp of the Detachment of Women, Li Xiuning suddenly got an order.

"On the order of the Lord's Mansion, the Detachment of Women's Army will be dispatched immediately to choose a suitable location in the northern mountain range to establish an outpost, and to investigate the surrounding area and clean up the surrounding monsters."

"Well, an order from the Lord's Mansion."

Seeing the sudden order, Li Xiuning immediately walked out of her camp tent and said loudly.

"The whole army is assembled."

There is no shelter on the one-kilometer flat Gobi, and the terrain on the opposite side is a mountain forest, so you can see the ups and downs of the opposite mountain forest as far as you can see.

Li Xiuning summoned all the troops and ordered to investigate which places on the 66-kilometer-long border in the northern border of Yuanbei County could be used as breakthrough points to enter the forest.

It only took half a day from the order to the end of the report. A reconnaissance team reported that there was a lake ten kilometers west of the center line of Yuanbei County, and there was a small river and a valley beside the lake.

Passing through this short river valley, you can see a small basin with an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers, which is very suitable as an outpost for troops.

But the only flaw is that there is a Goblin tribe in the location of the basin, and this Goblin tribe is not a simple Goblin tribe.

According to investigations, this Goblin tribe has a complete set of arms at all levels, including mages, warriors, cavalry, archers and even assassins, with extraordinary strength.

"So what if you are strong." Li Xiuning looked at the report and encouraged the officers of the subordinate troops.

"Our women's army is also not weak. The whole army is now popularizing internal force exercises, and has been able to develop simple martial arts and martial arts. Coupled with the rune rifles in our hands, the mere goblins directly wiped out them and occupied that valley .”

"But now our army lacks long-term training, so we can only use fighting instead of training. The potential of the soldiers can't be fully realized. For the time being, we can only put this goblin tribe there."

"Then follow the plan." Li Xiuning said.

"Our first outpost was built on the Gobi outside the valley, close to the lake, and we dug canals to connect the rivers in Far North County."

"I order."

Finally, Li Xiuning made a decision and issued an order.

At this moment, all the generals present became serious, waiting for the order.

"The first battalion of the Detachment of Women's Army set off immediately after receiving the order to lay out lines outside the lake. The length of the line of defense should be about one kilometer. Set up an outpost for our army in the rear as the first layer of protection."

"Yes." The commander of the first battalion and the preacher stood up at the same time and said loudly.

"Second Battalion, your department is responsible for guarding the construction team that is about to arrive and protecting the safety of the construction workers."

"Yes."

"The cavalry battalion continues to intensify training, and strives to make everyone master internal strength." Li Xiuning said.

"Yes."

"Logistics, the medical brigade stay here.

The Guard Brigade and the Air Defense Brigade assist the Fifth Frontier Battalion in patrolling. When our outpost has not been established, we must ensure that no monsters can enter Far North County. "

"Yes."

Everything was ready, and the first battalion of the Detachment of Women stationed not far from the site was assembled immediately, and marched towards the site.

The First Battalion and Second Battalion of the Detachment of Women are rune riflemen. With firearms, there is no need to fight the enemy immediately.

The defense line Li Xiuning requested was actually a trench, including a geotechnical defense line composed of forts, tunnels, guard towers, commanding heights and headquarters.

The length of one kilometer is actually not difficult. The first time they arrived at the lake, a one-kilometer semicircular line of defense was drawn against the lake.

Every section of the defense line has soldiers doing soil work.At the same time, according to Li Xiuning's order, since there is a lake here and there is still running water, the water should be led to the camp and then flow into Yuanbei County.

Water sources are also extremely important in a territory. Industry and agriculture are inseparable from water resources. Now there is a running water here that guides it into Yuanbei County, and it can be connected to the canals in the farmland of Yuanbei County as agricultural water.

This terrain, on the northern edge of the Gobi, is this long strip lake with an area of ​​half a square kilometer.The lake touches the border across.

On the other side of the lake, there is a river valley with lush mountains and forests on both sides. The mountains and forests here are not so undulating.Beyond the steep mountain walls on both sides of the valley, there is also a section of undulating terrain extending into the basin.

But because the distance is so close, there is a big goblin tribe, and the number of goblins in this tribe is at least [-].

Moreover, there are small goblin tribes living in the mountains around the basin, plus the beasts living in the mountains, it can be said that there are monsters all over the mountains, and no one knows how many of these monsters there are.

And the 66-kilometer border that extends to the opposite land and Qinghe Territory, plus the nearly [-]-kilometer mountain forest in Tongdao County, that is, the [-]-kilometer-long mountain forest area is all like this.

It was precisely this kind of terrain information that was reported to Di Feng, preventing Di Feng from entering the mountains and forests to explore for the time being. He could only order the troops to defend first by accumulating strength.
