Mage Veigar

Chapter 275: One Move to Knock Down

When it comes to jungle warfare, Dandeli is particularly confident.

Because 10 years ago, in order to control the large and small bandit nests along the entire national highway and build a professional circle of bandits for his own use, he fought no less than a hundred jungle wars.

No matter it is a head-on encounter, a decapitation battle of avoiding the opponent's weakness and attacking the opponent's real strength, or a sneak attack, raid, ambush in the jungle... conventional warfare, he can handle it perfectly.

Although the enemy was just amateur soldiers composed of civilians of the Holy Dynasty.

However, being able to defeat a larger force with a smaller one proved his command ability. Therefore, why should a genius commander like him give up his position to Vega, a fledgling cadet? This time he wanted to teach Vega a lesson.

"Pass the order."

Dandeli waved his hand and said, "Follow the defensive tactics I have formulated for you. The first column will go to the first line of defense and flexibly use traps, arrows, sneak attacks, etc. to harass the enemy. Remember not to engage in direct combat with them."

"The second column."

Dandeli looked at the deputy commander and said, "You will be responsible for the coordination of the frontal forces. After the harassment operation has lasted for 12 hours, I need you to launch a frontal attack around 3 a.m. tonight and wipe out the enemy forces."

"A team of magicians."

Dandelli looked at several magicians and said, "I need you to drive the commercial airship to sink the enemy's war airship. The specific operation method is based on my air combat thinking. Use a 2, 1 air combat formation."

21 air combat formations.

It means that two cannon fodder ships are responsible for attracting the firepower of the enemy war airship, covering the third airship to take the opportunity to ram and sink the enemy war airship. This formation allows commercial and civilian magic airships without any attack capabilities to perish together with military war airships, but this tactic is ineffective against combat war airships that are too fast.

21 Air Combat Formation This is Dandeli's masterpiece.

Because across the country, I'm afraid no general would suddenly think of using a commercial airship to hit a carrier war airship to win an air battle. To be precise, this kind of fighting method is not included in the empire's air combat courses.

"Shadow Mage Team."

Dendari gave one last order: "I need you to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the enemy's elemental mage squad, at the same time!"

The sound of gnashing teeth echoed over the entire bandit nest: "At the same time, find an opportunity to kill that brat for me, no matter the cost, even if it means sacrificing your life, you must kill him for me."

"I am willing to die for the commander-in-chief." No. 1 said in a loud voice.

----

The outskirts of Rope Forest.

Vega looked up at the endless sea of ​​forests and towering mountains. He did not blindly order the entire army to attack.

According to the report of law enforcement captain Dal, these bandits are very professional in marching and fighting, and they are adept at using conventional means such as cover, sneak attacks, setting obstacles... harassment and raids.

The law enforcement team was defeated because they forced an attack without controlling the terrain, and were stuck in the mud of jungle warfare. In that situation, it was extremely difficult to advance 300 meters.

Besides.

The entire law enforcement team had been constantly harassed by the bandits and was already exhausted. At this time, the bandits organized their troops to launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night. How could the law enforcement team remain undefeated?

"General, do you have any battle plan next?"

Law enforcement captain Dahl stepped forward and said, "I have a suggestion, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

“Captain Dahl, please feel free to speak.” Vega smiled friendly.

Seeing that Vega agreed, Dar said, "Although it may seem like I'm overstepping my authority, I suggest that you don't blindly attack the forest. We have more people than you, so why not block the main and secondary roads and wait for them to run out of food. Then they will attack us and we can just wait for them to tire themselves out."

"Captain Dahl, great idea."

Vega nodded approvingly and said, "But in your opinion, how long do you think it will take for the bandits to run out of food? Does Captain Dahl have any information?"

"This……"

Dar opened his mouth, but was unable to answer Vega's question.

Vega didn't care. He continued to talk to himself: "Winter is coming soon. Just like mice will store food for the winter, these bandits have probably made preparations early. If we adopt the tactic of surrounding but not attacking, I guess it will take at least half a year for them to come out." "Sorry, it is indeed my inconsideration." Dal smiled embarrassedly.

Neither he nor Vega could afford to delay for half a year. Firstly, the commander-in-chief wanted him to find out whether Dandari was dead or alive as soon as possible. Secondly, the Seventh Army could not approve half a year of field work for him, and they also had to deliver supplies to him regularly, so this "good strategy" of waiting and waiting was simply not feasible.

"What should I do?"

Captain Dahl frowned, "Even if you have three regiments, I'm afraid you won't be able to win this war without the advantage of terrain. After all, there are quite a few high-level forces in this bandit nest."

The Holy Dynasty values ​​bloodline.

Some professionals and magicians of slave descent are sometimes ostracized by their superiors and companions in the army because of their descent. Therefore, these ostracized professionals and magicians sometimes sneak into the empire and join bandit nests.

Based on the alliance relationship, the empire generally turns a blind eye.

This is also the reason why Vega believes that the bandit's nest cannot be attacked by force. The enemy is not ordinary people who have no ability to fight back, but a considerable number of high-level forces. If the commander is a professional officer like Dandali, then he has to be cautious.

The right time, the right place and the right people - these are the three elements of victory.

Although it is said that favorable timing is not as important as favorable terrain, and favorable terrain is not as important as harmonious people, if both the enemy and us are not stupid, winning a war is not enough to just master one of the factors for victory.

Vega's understanding of this sentence is.

In order to win a war, all three factors must be mastered. Now he does not have control over the factor of geographical advantage, so he believes that he does not have the conditions for complete victory.

"So what should we do?"

Veigar smiled at the law enforcement captain Dar, and then replied: "Captain Dar, don't worry. We are indeed inferior to these bandits in terms of geographical advantages, but there is still hope of victory."

Law enforcement captain Dahl's eyes lit up.

He said excitedly: "General, do you have any ingenious plan to destroy this bandit nest?"

"Haha, it's not a brilliant idea."

Vega smiled and said, “It’s just that this scene reminds me of a virtual war in the General’s War. I still remember that it seemed to be a jungle war, and the conditions were even worse than this time.”

"What was the final result..." Dahl asked curiously.

Vega did not answer Dal's question, but said indirectly: "Captain Dal, you must know that the situation in war is ever-changing, but the factors for victory are nothing more than the right time, the right place, and the right people. It is autumn now, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, the time is on our side; the enemy is just a civilian, our army is an elite division, and the people are also on our side. What we really lack is just the right place."

"Then it's easy."

Vega pointed to the green and yellow forest ahead and said, "If there is no favorable terrain, we can create one."

Law enforcement captain Dahl asked in confusion: "General, may I ask how to create a geographical advantage?"

"Captain Dahl, don't you understand?"

Vega said to Dar: "In my hometown, there is a saying that the five elements are mutually generated and restrained. Earth restrains water, water restrains fire, and fire..."

"Kemu?" Dal asked subconsciously, his tone quite excited.

"Yes."

Veigar smiled brightly. “Since their advantage is the forest, why not burn it down?”

Build a defense? Set it on fire.

Harassment and sneak attack? Set it on fire.

Strength in numbers? A fire set it off.

Decapitation tactics? Or just burn it with fire. There is nothing that can't be solved with fire.

Just as a random punch can kill a master, no matter how many calculations and plans you make, you can be defeated with just one move. Veigar was too lazy to think about what countermeasures Dandari was going to take, his brain circuit was so simple and crude.
