My Players Are So Fierce – Handsome dog Frank-Chapter 2120 - 707: Tunnel Warfare, Sparrow Warfare, Guerrilla Warfare... Come On, Wolf People, Pick One
I have consulted with Maxim, and we believe that the best choice at the moment is not to deploy a large army here but to leave some elite troops guarding the valley and harass the Wolf People after they pass through, attempting to destroy their supply lines.
"Then we’d be squandering the advantage we have!"
As soon as Kudell finished speaking, Happy Stick loudly retorted,
"The armament of the Polluted Swamp isn’t complete yet. If we let the Wolf People push through there, it’s hard to wear them down on a large scale with the current preparations! Right now, time is the most important thing, and the more we can delay the Wolf People each day, the better prepared the rear will be.
Moreover, incorporating soldiers from the other two countries into the Maginot Line and making adjustments also takes time. We can’t waste the advantage we currently hold nor can we simply hand this place over to the Wolf People!
If you want to retreat, you can!
Leave the resources and supplies behind, and we foreigners will continue to stay here and attack the Wolf People, since we’re not afraid to die."
"But even if it’s a death mission, there needs to be strategy."
Old Qin squinted his eyes, scrutinizing the map in front of him.
He observed the terrain of Wasteland Mountain, especially the corridor-shaped terrains flanked by high and low mountain ridges.
This old military head turned to the Old soldier of Qing dynasty writing and drawing beside him and discussed in a low voice for a few moments, then coughed and said,
"We have a preliminary idea, please give us some time, at most three days! I will come up with a complete operation plan. Happy Stick is right, just casually abandoning such a significant strategic area is truly a pity.
The last time the Wolf People breached here was a hundred years ago.
I think with their level, they likely wouldn’t precisely record various environmental information near Wasteland Mountain, but the shadow half-elves have lived here for sixty years, they are very familiar with the environment here, which establishes a basic condition for guerrilla warfare.
Plus, Baphomet Underground Palace is such a good place...
It would be really a waste not to utilize it."
"So, is your plan based on the strategy of guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines?"
Maxim read about battle cases in forums and immediately understood, asking, but seeing Old Qin shaking his head, saying,
"No, it’s not mere guerrilla warfare! I got inspiration from the Ratmen’s digging into the Blackflame Mountain Pass, perhaps we could also try to use tunneling combat to accomplish the mission of obstructing the enemy.
Under normal circumstances, this is not doable.
Designing and excavating tunnels itself is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive matter, but the good news is, we have the support of the Silver Dwarfs on our side.
So what we need to do is to quickly come up with a tunnel design sufficient for an obstruction operation.
If the Ratmen don’t participate in battle, the Gnolls’ combat strength, in underground tunnel environments, they wouldn’t have an advantage, and the tunnel environment can greatly restrict the numerical advantage of the Wolf People, while allowing the players to fully utilize their nimble combat style.
What I mean is...
If we can’t win overall, using sparrow warfare is indeed a way. After all, our current requirement is not winning, but buying time."
Old Qin rubbed his chin, and said,
"Tunnels used for obstruction battles differ significantly from ordinary transport tunnels. Regarding this, I will come up with a specific requirements document, first let the Stonemason Brothers try it, if they can’t, I can look for some ’off-field support’.
But I must tell you in advance.
Once my battle plan is presented, in this area of Wasteland Mountain, everyone will have to follow my command! Even Lord Morphy and the elite forces under your command.
I know this is very arrogant.
But I will give a military pledge, after the Wolf People launch their attack, I will block them here for at least one month, yes, that’s the situation for now.
I need to discuss tactics and strategies with some old friends..."
He glanced at Morphy and found that the lord was looking at him with a subtle expression, one that seemed to see through Lord Qin’s thoughts at the moment.
Morphy softly said,
"Currently Transylvania’s manpower is tight, and I can’t summon more wise foreigners into the war, but I think Milian might be able to squeeze out some manpower resources, 20 slots, is it enough?"
"Of course, it’s enough."
Old Qin blinked, smiling, and said,
"The number of warriors is sufficient, what we need now is command, I mean, talents in tactics. Additionally, the munitions factory also needs some real professionals, since Loyal Brother and the others are all enthusiasts after all and have reached a bottleneck.
Please be patient, Sir Morphy.
We will provide you with a satisfying strategic plan, and to be honest, I’ve made some new friends at the Blackflame Mountain Pass as well.
They were very brave and simple people, but now, they are gone...
I also... sigh...
In short, this war is no longer a single-party task!
The desire for peace from the Transia People must be respected, as it is a rightful authority, and we are willing to support your resistance efforts more strongly because we have had similar experiences.
Of course, these can be addressed later, let’s win the current war first."
