The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 202 Strategies

The outlying island area itself has an oceanic climate, and there are often bursts of rain. Coupled with the fact that thousands of miles of smoke and waves gather water vapor from the nearby thousands of miles of ocean, sudden heavy rain is not uncommon.

Han Fulai himself is an experienced captain. He observed the shape of the lower clouds, raised his hand to feel the direction of the downwind, and then nodded and said, "According to the wind direction and the condition of the clouds, in one or two hours, a rainstorm will It might be about to start."

"I suggest waiting for the rain to start before attacking!"

Hearing this statement, Han Fulai's brows were all frowned: "It's a taboo for military strategists to attack in the rain! The soil on outlying islands is soft, and when the rain starts, the entire tidal flat will be muddy...Since there are no outsiders here, let me tell you the truth. In other words, although winning or losing this outlying island war is completely indifferent to our Haiya faction, we can't make interstate jokes!"

Whether it is a cold weapon war on the earth or in the realm of comprehension, attacking in the rain is a very stupid strategy. It will multiply the effect of fortifications and reduce the mobility of the attacker.

In the most classic Battle of Agincourt in the Hundred Years War between Britain and France, the French heavy cavalry and heavy infantry planned to attack after the rain by relying on their equipment advantages. As a result, the battlefield land washed by the heavy rain became very soft, which not only made the French charge The speed could not be raised at all, and it was very difficult even to step over the simple wooden fence set up by the British army on the mud, while the British archers and spearmen on the defensive side waited for work, condescendingly poking the French knights and heavy infantry into the mud Can't get up.

If the Haiya Fleet fights desperately and is defeated in the end, it is called inferior skills; if the commander's random command leads to the annihilation of the entire army, then the nature of the matter becomes "one general is incompetent, and thousands of troops are exhausted to death".

Although Lin Dong, the supervisor of the Wuliang Sword Sect, has been killed, there are still [-] soldiers and sailors in the Haiya Fleet. These people are not blind. After the defeated soldiers flee back, the Wuliang Sword Sect will definitely investigate the battle The reason for the loss.

If it was found that Han Fulai was incompetent and deliberately ordered the army to attack and die in the rain, then even the Haiya Department would not be able to save him.

But Han Fulai didn't know that the heavy rain was exactly the nemesis of gunpowder!

It is precisely because attacking in the rain is very beneficial to the defenders, so when the outlying island coalition forces launched wheel battles and tried to consume Tian Beixi's "spiritual energy reserves", they deliberately chose a dry environment suitable for attacking, and never tried to launch an attack on a rainy day. As a result, Tian Beixi's gunpowder position has never failed due to moisture, and the weakness of gunpowder has never been discovered.

Seeing Han Fulai's puzzled face, Yang Lu didn't explain the scientific principle of gunpowder. This kind of thing will not be explained clearly for a while, but asked another question: "We Haiya Fleet soldiers and Guhong Island soldiers compared , who has the stronger fighting power?"

Han Fulai replied without hesitation: "The army from the outlying islands is nothing but slave soldiers, and they can't beat the regular army made by our Haiya city with real money. If it weren't for the fighting power of our Haiya soldiers far superior to the locals on the outlying islands, this gang has dozens of soldiers. The lord of an outlying island with 1 native slave soldiers is also unlikely to quarrel because we sent [-] troops."

Lin Dong is dead, and Han Fu has no motivation to brag about himself.

As the so-called good and bad are all compared, the senior leaders of the Wuliang Sword Sect knew that the Haiya faction would definitely make a fortune from the Outlying Islands War, so they entrusted the Haiya faction to organize the action, because the Haiya faction was the least bad choice among many choices. Even though its lower limit is very low, the lower limit of other chambers of commerce may be even lower than that of the Sea Cliff Chamber of Commerce.

From the perspective of ordinary modern people, the Haiya Fleet is rotten from top to bottom, but if you compare the Haiya Fleet with outlying island warlords like Xu Tong Shiyi, then the Haiya Fleet is definitely synonymous with advanced productivity and production relations.

Although most of the funds of the Sea Cliff Fleet have been embezzled by the Sea Cliff Chamber of Commerce, the rest of the funds that fall on ordinary soldiers are still far more than the troops recruited by the lords of the outlying islands from the slums, not to mention the soldiers recruited by the Sea Cliff Chamber of Commerce. He is a son of a good family, and the soldiers under the command of the outlying island warlords are all poor people who can't get enough to eat. If the influence of Tian Beixi is not counted, this war is equivalent to a plutocratic capitalist plutocracy launching a dimension reduction attack on mortal slave city-states.

Now there are about 2 people on Guhong Island, and the Haiya Fleet has 1 people. Although the number of Haiya Fleet is at a disadvantage, due to the sufficient supplies of the Haiya Fleet, the soldiers are far superior to the Guhong Island army in terms of morale and equipment. .

Yang Lu looked in the direction of Guhong Island's military camp and said, "If Tian Beixi's demon method fails, what chance do we have of winning?"

After pondering for a while, Han Fulai replied honestly: "At least [-]%, if the outlying island coalition forces can cooperate with our actions, the winning rate is at least [-]%! But the specific chance of winning depends on how much combat power Tian Beixi has left, after all Tian Beixi is also a cultivator, even if you don't count that kind of weird magic, it is still very lethal to mortals... You ask this, is there a way to break the magic?"

Yang Lu pointed to the top of his head, and made a nonsense reason: "Tian Beixi's demon method is to induce the power of earth fire, and she is most afraid of rain. As long as we choose to attack in the rain, her demon method will not work normally!"

In the world view of the natives of Kyushu's comprehension world, the power of earth veins is the foundation of all auras.

The auras of the seven attributes in the world are all derived from the power of the earth veins, and the spirit stones were originally ordinary stones, but they were slowly transformed into spirit stones after being affected by the power of the earth veins seeped from the nodes of the earth veins for many years , and cultivators also need to pass through the attunement of the earth vein nodes such as the immortal edge stone, in order to enter the threshold of cultivation.

The so-called ascension in the daytime means that the cultivator has accumulated enough power of the earth veins to break through the barrier between the immortal and mortal realms, and the barriers between the immortal and mortal worlds correspond to the power of the earth veins, which is also called the power of heaven.

The Nine-Revolution Tianshu Grand Formation relies on mobilizing the power of the heavenly gang and the earth veins to allow low-level monks to master the power to kill monsters in the late Jindan stage.

In the eyes of the people who don't know the truth, Tian Beixi relies on gunpowder to exert a strength far beyond his own, which is very similar to a cultivator mobilizing the power of Tiangang and earth veins.

After listening to Yang Lu's nonsense, Han Fulai also showed an expression of enlightenment: "So that's the case, but it's unbelievable that the fire of the dignified veins can be extinguished by the heavy rain..."

"The power of a cultivator to activate the earth's veins is based on foreign objects, and it is normal to have flaws similar to the Nine-Revolution Tianshu Great Formation."

When the ghost brought up cultivation and metaphysics, Han Fulai was completely helpless.Considering that Yang Lu will never make fun of his own life, he can only choose to believe: "If the heavy rain can really hinder Tian Beixi's demon skills, then our chances of winning are indeed not small. From the perspective of the sea cliff system, I definitely hope that This battle can be won completely, after all, Lin Dong is dead, if our Haiya attack suffers another big defeat, even if I escape alive, I will definitely be held accountable by the Wuliang Sword Sect."

Yang Lu nodded and said: "The Wuliang Sword Sect is always result-oriented. If we can win this battle, all doubts about us will be solved. Since we have a chance to win now, we should fight for it. Besides, , if the war starts later, we still have time to contact the outlying island coalition forces for a pincer attack, and even if the Wuliangjian faction is held accountable, we can still argue that it's not that we didn't seize the opportunity, but that the outlying island coalition forces didn't cooperate with us in time."

Although Yang Lu gave Han Fulai all the excuses for failure, Han Fulai still seemed a little worried: "But after Lin Dong's death, Tian Beixi has no one to check and balance. Although her spiritual power reserves are limited, if she chooses to implement Beheading, I'm still worried...you and I may be in danger!"

"What if I have a way to deal with Tian Beixi?"

"Then I have more than [-]% chance of winning, even if I attack in the rain!" Han Fulai answered decisively this time, but he quickly changed the subject, "It's fine if you can break Tian Beixi's demon technique, but you How are you going to deal with her?"

Yang Lu turned his head to look in the direction of the tidal flat and said, "Tian Beixi has gone through a hard battle, and there is no more spiritual power left in her body. Although I still can't deal with Tian Beixi, there are others who can deal with her... now others have come!"
