The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 176 Proposal for Retreat
Bori asked, "How do you deal with avalanches? We once caused a large-scale avalanche when we used sleeping demons to mine. The scene of the destruction was really terrifying."

"In fact, it is very simple to deal with avalanches. Snow accumulates on steep mountain tops all year round, and when it encounters a huge noise or vibration, it can easily cause an avalanche.

As long as you are in a place where avalanches are prone to occur or where you often move around, you can just fire a few cannons at the top of the mountain every once in a while, and there will be no snow to avalanche, so avalanches will not occur. "

"So that's how it is. Isn't it dangerous for people to fire like that?"

"Boss, can't you find a safe place? You know, although our artillery is a bit weak, it still has a range of several miles. Just find a safe place and clear out the nearby civilians in advance."

"Okay, I understand. I'll write to Wang Guo and ask them to make the arrangements."

Feng Yu said: "I suggest you dwarves retreat."

Bo Rui was surprised and said, "What?"

"I say, I suggest you dwarves retreat."

"Retreat to the wilderness?"

Feng Yu said: "How is that possible? Just withdraw a little.

If humans want to develop the mineral deposits in the Snow Summit Mountains, it is too far away and they are powerless. After all, the transportation conditions in the Snow Summit Mountains are too poor.

Most of them will be active in the southern end of the Snow Summit Mountains. If they are too far away, both transportation and supplies will be too difficult due to the road conditions in the Snow Summit Mountains.

So I think you dwarves should give up that place. You have already developed it almost completely, and the farming dwarves have all moved to the Great Wasteland. There is no point in guarding it any longer.

It is difficult to mount an effective defense in the complex terrain against small groups of roving human adventurers and mercenaries. They outnumber you and you cannot outlast them.

If you retreat further north and lengthen the human supply line, they will naturally not explore too far to the north.

You can find some natural dangerous places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack to set up defenses and block the human race's way to the north. This is also the best way to deal with scattered human adventurers.

Another advantage of this is that it will make it much easier to transport your ammunition and supplies, saving manpower and concentrating your firepower."

Borri nodded and said, "That's indeed a solution, but there are many paths in the Snow Summit Mountains. I'm afraid that humans will find another path. If that happens, the unprepared dwarves inside the defense line will be in danger."

"The other paths are inaccessible to large armies, and two or three humans are no match for the dwarves. Our crossbows and hunting rifles can be provided to the dwarven civilians for self-defense. If there are fewer people sneaking through, they won't pose a big threat.

If it really doesn't work, you can destroy all the paths that can be destroyed. Sleeping demons are not expensive, so you can just blow up some paths into cliffs, making it impossible for humans to pass.

There aren't many experts among the mercenaries and adventurers who can fly, and the remaining ordinary adventurers and mercenaries are no match for the firepower network that has been formed. Just get close and kill them in a wave."

Bo Rui nodded and said, "Yes, it seems I have to go back."

Feng Yu said, "Why, it's not okay for the dwarf to leave you, what are you going back for?"

"It's easy to choose a defensive position over there, but I'm not familiar with the use of new weapons."

Feng Yu said: "This is the place most coveted by humans. It is also the production area of ​​our food, salt and weapons. It is the top priority for the future of the three tribes. Now chaos is about to break out. You have to stay and help me.

As for that side, Dick has participated in the development of all new weapons, so he is naturally familiar with thermal weapons. In addition, Master Mason, who is familiar with mining, will go to mine and destroy the road, so there is no need for you to take action!"

Feng Yu was absolutely unwilling to let Borri, who was so useful to him, leave, so he sold out his old friends Dick and Mason.

Bo Rui smiled helplessly and said: "You are really..."

Feng Yu laughed loudly: "Chief Dick has been eating and not working lately, and he has become fat. Master Mason's magnetite mining is also on track. He runs to the camp all the time when he has nothing to do. I think he is bored with being idle. It's just right to choose these two. It won't delay either side."

Bo Rui smiled and said, "Okay, but I must tell them that it was you who came up with the idea."

Feng Yu said: "It doesn't matter if you say it. Do you believe it or not, not only will they not blame me, but they will also take the initiative to go back and help me?"

"I believe this. As long as you bring them enough wine and meat, they will certainly be willing to go."

"It's boring to talk to you."

The trading area has been expanded greatly, not only adding a lot of houses for the goblins to rest, but also a lot of airship parking platforms.

The Cattail City Camp also responded to the goblins' opinions and began to provide paid maintenance services for the goblin caravans' airships.

The goblin airship also has wear and tear from use. If Feng Yu wants to develop an airship, he can't just rely on blueprints. It would be good to have a more primitive reference.

So Feng Yu exchanged goods with the goblin boss of a goblin caravan for an old goblin airship, which he refurbished first to gain a preliminary understanding of the airship and provide some experience for designing a new light gas airship.

Ever since the emergence of a wind mage among humans, Feng Yu has ordered the fleet not to approach the estuary of Lengshui River where the water level is low.

Even though steam gunboats for surface combat had been urgently produced, Feng Yu still had them train between the camp and the dwarven farmland, and resolutely refused to let them patrol at the river mouth, which was suitable for crossing the river.

This is done to show weakness to the enemy. Humans do not know the military situation of the Cattail City camp, so it is best not to expose Cattail City's firepower advantage.

The steam-belching ironclad battleships were too challenging for human cognition, and would likely make the invading humans more cautious, or even mobilize more combat units to attack Cattail City.

That's why Feng Yu didn't allow the steamship to appear at the river mouth. He did this to paralyze humans.

As for patrolling and supervision, they have been replaced by the goblin airship purchased by Feng Yu and the small light airship that has been trial-produced, which take turns hovering at the river mouth. Together with telescopes and watchtowers, they are able to provide monitoring of the crossing location.

As for the night, for the Green Continent, crossing the river at night is a very dangerous thing, and it is basically impossible for humans to cross the river at night on a large scale.

The sentry tower at the river crossing is a simple wooden one with little defensive capabilities. Feng Yu is afraid that humans will organize a small-scale high-end combat force to cross the river at night to seize control of the river crossing, so he has ordered the soldiers in the sentry tower there to withdraw to the stone powder bunker for defense at night.

In the early morning, the patrol team set out from Shifen Bunker and headed towards Jiangkou sentry tower again.

According to regulations, when they reached the last small mound of the Jiangkou sentry tower, the patrol soldiers stopped. The elf sniper holding the demon hunting rifle jumped off the horned deer and walked towards a small gap in the mound.
