On January 10, the 40th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Su Yan patrolled north along the coastline of the Central Continent, inspecting the frontline positions of Emperor Yi's territory and 12 branch territories for launching a decisive battle against the Central Continent, and boosting the morale of the frontline soldiers.
Although Qu Mao's inspection did not have any effect on the progress of the specific war, it had a huge impact on the morale of the soldiers participating in the war. Especially against the background of very serious casualties on the battlefields in various parts of the mainland, Qu Mao's inspection greatly encouraged those participating in the war. The morale of the soldiers.
This is also the reason why Qu Mao and Su Yan insisted on patrolling along the coastline regardless of the danger. The loss in the landing operation after the decisive battle started was so heavy, which was far beyond Qu Mao's expectation. Therefore, all continents had to start again Expand the recruitment and training of new recruits.
The decisive battle lasted for nearly ten days, and the casualties caused to the armies of Emperor Yi's territory and the 12 branch territories were shocking. Of course, the God's Chosen Alliance headed by the Dugu Empire could not gain much benefit.
Of course, Emperor Yi's territory did not plan the focus of the attack before the decisive battle was launched. Instead, based on the Six Route Army, a total of 117 attack routes were designed to launch a comprehensive offensive.
Originally, Qu Mao and the military heroes of Emperor Yi's Territory judged that the number of reinforcements suddenly thrown into the battlefield by Emperor Yi's Territory was more than 300 million, and on average more than 1 million troops were added to the front every day. There should not have been any surprises.
However, the resistance of the member forces affiliated to the God's Chosen Alliance was unexpectedly strong. In fact, many warriors from the God's Chosen Alliance member forces at the landing site of the Yi Emperor Territory's reinforcements actually fought to the last man without retreating.
Of course, the Dugu Empire responded very quickly. In just ten days, basically all the troops on the advance route of Emperor Yi's territory were replaced by the troops of the Dugu Empire.
Only ten days after the decisive battle was launched, the reinforcements in Emperor Yi's territory and the 12 branch territories fell into a stalemate.
When Qu Mao inspected the northern part of the Central Continent, Zhao Liede welcomed Qu Mao and said to Qu Mao in a heavy tone: "Qu Mao, I'm afraid the battle plan we planned before the war needs to be adjusted.
At that time, we planned to launch a comprehensive general offensive in the Central Continent, eliminate all member forces of the God's Chosen Alliance as soon as possible, and unify the Central Continent as soon as possible. However, we still underestimated the Dugu Empire.
Now continuing to maintain the pre-war plan and launching indiscriminate attacks on the 20 member forces of the Theological Alliance, including the Dugu Empire, is likely to stall our decisive battle.
The enemies facing the 117 general offensive fronts are all elite troops of the Dugu Empire, and we cannot break through them at all.
We consumed nearly 50 million warriors in the first ten days, and it was not the Dugu Empire’s army that consumed so many of our warriors, but the other 19 member forces affiliated with the God’s Chosen Alliance.
In other words, the advantages and disadvantages of military strength have been reversed between us and the Dugu Empire. "
Qu Mao said helplessly: "Dugu Empire has long occupied the top spot in the comprehensive strength rankings of God's Chosen Player Lords. We have been estimating the true strength of Dugu Empire, but now it seems that we have still underestimated the strength of Dugu Empire.
Zhao Liede sighed and said: "Qu Mao, on the 117 decisive battle fronts, we and the Dugu Empire are basically evenly matched. Therefore, the Dugu Empire has such profound foundations that our estimates are far from enough. There is no way to clearly predict it now." estimate."
Su Yan took a breath and said: "Sir, we now have four continents, but the Dugu Empire does not control even one continent. Even though the central continent is much larger than the eastern continent, the western continent, the southern continent and the northern continent, it is It is not as big as these four continents combined.If we really can't do it, we will use continuous military logistics production and use time to slowly delay the death of the Dugu Empire."
Qu Mao said: "The longer the decisive battle is delayed, the more soldiers we will die in battle.
As Zhao Liede said, we have no way of predicting the foundation of the Dugu Empire, so time may not necessarily be on our side. "
Zhao Liede said: "Yes, Qu Mao, this level of fighting has left us a little helpless. Do you think we should urgently convene a meeting of the commander-in-chief of each army and the lords of the 12 branch territories to conduct emergency consultations and adjust tactics.
Don't continue to make random guesses about the Dugu Empire's background. Without enough information, it's impossible to guess accurately. "
Qu Mao said: "We lost too many soldiers in the early landing operations. The morale of the soldiers on all fronts is generally low now. The fact that the army has not collapsed is because our military heroes have extraordinary qualifications.
Especially because the enemy warriors killed were not warriors from the Dugu Empire, but warriors from other Chosen player lord forces in the Chosen Alliance, this is really devastating news.
The other 19 member forces in the Central Continent belonging to the God's Chosen Alliance have already consumed all their war resources in the early wars. This time they actually came back and killed nearly 50 million warriors in our Yi Di territory. What the heck. .
So Su Yan and I will continue to patrol the various fronts along the coastline of the Central Continent to boost the morale of the soldiers on each front.
I think the meeting you mentioned to adjust the combat strategy is also very necessary, but the priority must be after boosting morale.
Not only that, since the Dugu Empire's foundation has not been consumed in the first ten days of combat, then we should not continue to recruit and train soldiers on the other four continents according to the original plan. The originally planned recruitment and training speed will at least require It will be possible to complete it by increasing it more than five times. "
Zhao Liede nodded and said, "That's right. The positions along the coast of the Central Continent are not stable now. You might as well inspect them."
Qu Mao said: "Currently, I have inspected less than one-third of the coastal landing positions in the Central Continent. Let's do this. We tentatively plan to hold a military meeting at the end of January of the 40th year of Tianxuan in Xigang, the former Principality of Pengda in the Eastern Continent. The meeting mainly discussed adjustments to specific decisive battle strategies.
You inform the participants to prepare in advance, and I will take Su Yan to continue to patrol the front lines and boost morale. "
Zhao Liede said: "Okay, it shouldn't be a big problem for us to stabilize our frontline positions. You can continue your inspection trip and I will arrange this matter.
At the end of January, we will meet at East Mainland and West Port. "
