Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 308: Fortress of the Lookout

The size of the army is one of the important criteria for measuring combat effectiveness. Even in modern warfare, with all kinds of high-tech weapons taking turns to fight, it is impossible to completely replace the role of humans in war, unless you plan to use the atomic bomb to end it all at once.

Having more people is indeed an advantage, but only when people are organized can it be called an army, otherwise it will be a mess.

The Subia Demon Kingdom's army was disoriented by the sudden fierce attack, and its command system collapsed drastically. The large number of new recruits who were added with poor stress resistance also exacerbated the spread of fear. Even if the officers wanted to reorganize the team, they could not find anyone.

At this point, the offense and defense changed.

The Qihang City army, which had originally been responsible for a feint attack, changed its strategy and took the opportunity to launch a real fierce attack, successfully breaking through the interception of the three corps of the Subia Demon Kingdom Army.

Having completed the decapitation tactic, Viola did not return home, but led her own army and the reinforcements from Half Moon Castle to harass outside the military camp, attacking from both sides.

From time to time, there was rain of fire, exploding frogs, and a large amount of venom from the sky. When the priests' magic could not be used, the burden on the medical system of the Subia Demon Kingdom's army was greatly increased.

But don't think that we can completely defeat them like this. After all, it is a huge army composed of 120,000 people, and nearly half of them are regular troops who have experienced many battles. Even after suffering such a blow, the organization can still be maintained.

The Qihang City army did succeed in breaking through the defense line, but was soon beaten back by the reorganized Subia Demon Kingdom army, and had no choice but to retreat back to the city to defend it.

The harassment by Viola and the Half Moon Castle's army was just an opportunity to take advantage. Their numbers were too small, and the threat they posed to the Subia Demon Kingdom's army was almost negligible.

When the Sailing City army retreated, Viola and her companions had no choice but to retreat as well, otherwise by the time the other side had time, their number of people would not be enough to share the responsibilities.

However, they did not return to the Leon territory, but returned to Half Moon Castle, posing as if they were ready to attack again at any time.

The entire battle lasted nearly four hours. The battle with cold weapons is different from that with hot weapons. Swinging a sword is much more tiring than pulling the trigger, and the physical and mental damage has reached the limit.

Both sides of the battle have returned to their respective camps, and the dispute seems to have been temporarily ended.

The Subia Demon Kingdom's army assembled overnight and set out at daybreak, abandoning a large amount of baggage and supplies as well as wounded soldiers, and retreated to the south in a panic.

In this battle, the Subia Demon Kingdom army lost about a quarter of its troops, suffered approximately 30,000 casualties, and also lost its supreme commander.

There is no doubt that Viola and her team won. Not only did they successfully lift the siege on Sailing City, they also successfully forced the Subia Demon Kingdom army to retreat and beautifully completed the decapitation tactic.

But in fact, Viola's target was not the Tiger of the Kingdom, it was just a coincidence.

Her real purpose is to "open a map" for the Demon King.

Bai Long and Viola personally went deep into the military camp. The fog of war in this part has dissipated, and about half of the military camp has clearly appeared on Li Chengxi's screen. He can interfere at any time by any means.

In fact, he did just that.

Unfortunately, some people in the Subia Demon Kingdom army seemed to have realized this, or perhaps they were frightened, and immediately evacuated to the south after daybreak.

If they still stayed where they were, they would be sitting ducks for Li Chengxi.

Let's put it this way, because it's the end of the year, he has already bought two hangs of 'Earth Red'. If the army of the Subia Demon Kingdom is still stubborn, let them know what the New Year's Beast means...

Of course, Viola also discovered the movements of the Subia Demon Kingdom army, but did not immediately launch a pursuit. She only sent scouts to monitor at any time to prevent them from making a surprise attack. Then, she joined forces with the armies of Qihang City and Half Moon Castle to start cleaning up the battlefield first, seizing a large amount of supplies and military equipment, and successfully captured a large number of wounded soldiers.

The seriously wounded were all killed and dealt with quickly, while the lightly wounded were detained as laborers and sent to the vicinity of Qihang City to build their own prisoner-of-war camps and contribute to the infrastructure.

It is indeed inhumane, but when dealing with invaders, don't talk about humanity or inhumanity. Viola was very restrained in not chopping them all off as a sacrifice.

After doing all this, he deliberately resumed the pursuit three days later.

Viola has 2,000 men under her command, Half Moon Castle has 3,000 men, and Sailing City has 20,000 men, a total of 25,000 men are chasing an army of 80,000 to 90,000 men. It is indeed a bit of black humor.

I let them go on purpose to play it safe.

After all, our side is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength. If we push the enemy too hard, if they become desperate, our side will likely suffer huge casualties.

Viola currently only has these troops on hand, so of course she can't use them casually.

With the withdrawal of the Subia Demon Kingdom army, the northernmost area of ​​the Avarus Demon Kingdom has been liberated, and Viola now has two routes of advance.

One is to go east and liberate the remaining occupied territories in the north of the Avarus Demon Kingdom. The other is to chase the Subia Demon Kingdom army southward and give priority to liberating the southern territory of the Avarus Demon Kingdom.

The advantage of going east is that we can retake the capital as soon as possible. There are many great lords in the east who are still resisting, and if we join forces with them, we will still have the ability to fight against the coalition forces of the four nations.

Going south, they can quickly liberate about one-third of the country's territory. Because it is located along the coast, transportation is convenient and fast, and they can also get assistance from the Avarus Demon Kingdom Navy.

Viola had already made a decision on these two directions of advance.

She is heading south.

The important reason for making such a judgment is that the Subia Demon Kingdom army has been frightened.

Instead of confronting the armies of the other three countries with a mere 25,000 troops, it would be better to chase after the Subia Demon Kingdom army that has already been frightened.

A great victory did not make Viola go to her head. She knew that her troops were still weak, and it would be easy to be surrounded and suppressed if she rashly fought with the armies of the Three Kingdoms.

In view of this, the best strategy would be to give priority to liberating the southern territories, and then consider retaking the capital when the number of troops increases.

And Viola didn't just think "She's still in the developmental stage, don't waste time", there is an important city in the south, which is currently in the hands of the Subia Demon Kingdom's army.

Once this fortress city called "Open Gate City" is captured, Viola can easily attack the coalition forces of the other three countries from the side and rear. It is an important transportation hub in the country of Demon King Avarus, equivalent to a large domestic crossroads. Taking it has extraordinary strategic significance.

Of course, this is a matter for the future. Viola is currently leading her army to pursue the army of the Subia Demon Kingdom. Before reaching the Kaimen City, they must first face a difficult hurdle.

A "Lookout Fortress" lies across the river, standing on the edge of a vast forest and cliffs.
