Summoning Total War

.Chapter 35 Attack

But what?

You should speak quickly

Arturia's pair of pointed ears stood up. Seeing Murphy drinking water leisurely, she wanted to jump out and strangle this bastard on the spot. The half-elf queen was more elegant, but she still looked at Murphy nervously.

"but……"

"This juice tastes really good." Murphy said casually as he took a sip, then another sip, then another sip. To be honest, he has never had such a delicious drink in this world for so long, but it is a pity that there is a little ice cubes missing.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

After being stunned for a long time, I finally realized that I had been tricked by this guy.

The girl's face was suddenly livid, her fists were clenched, and her veins were pulsing. Her eyes looked at Murphy with a murderous look. If he hadn't led his army to help the half-elves this time, she would really be a little bit nervous now. I wanted to pull out my sword and chop this guy down.

The atmosphere was dead silent.

Murphy suddenly realized that he had been misunderstood by everyone.

I just complimented the juice here casually, but I didn't mean to tease them. So he quickly put down the juice, stood up, looked around, and casually made his own remarks: "It's a war. It's easy."

Easy……

The mouths of everyone in the main hall twitched, and even the half-elf queen held her forehead with her hands, feeling speechless.

"If you want to win, you must first understand what your strengths are, and then figure out where your weaknesses are. Of course, this is not enough. We also need to know what the enemy's strengths are and what their weaknesses are. If the enemy What will they do if they know our weaknesses? Can we use this to turn the tide of the war? If the enemy knows our strengths and deliberately avoids our strengths, how should we deal with it?"

"Use your strengths and avoid weaknesses to attack the enemy when he is unprepared." Murphy looked at the people in the hall, shrugged, and said calmly: "War is actually that simple."

"All the plots start from this point."

Athens' advantage is that its warriors are elite and determined, so Murphy is good at fighting tough battles. The advantage of the Greek pike phalanx is its powerful frontal attack capability, so the first thing Murphy considers every time he faces a war is to protect the two wings of the Greek hoplites. Using cunning strategies and strategies is not his strong point. There are only so many thirty-six strategies in total, and there are not many that can be applied on the actual battlefield.

Putting aside water tactics and fire tactics, the most commonly used tactics on the battlefield throughout the ages are surprise soldiers.

In fact, what determines victory on the battlefield many times is the battle formation, choosing the terrain and weather that is favorable to one's side, gathering the soldiers' faith to serve and die, and the dispatch of the army on the battlefield. .com updates rapidly

Moreover, when the two parties are not of the same race and do not understand each other's language, strategies are really of little use.

This is destined to be a tough battle, and what matters is the hard work of both sides in the war.

Murphy does have a plan. It is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. Although the weather is getting colder, everything is still dry. If the semi-elves are willing to lead the lizard people into the dense forest and then send troops to circumvent it, Go over and block the exit, then set off a prairie fire, which might really burn all the lizardmen inside. But he wouldn't say anything about this strategy, let alone anything else. It was impossible for so many druids in front of him to agree. These druids are all stubborn old stubborns. If Murphy reveals his plan, they might turn against him immediately.

Moreover, the semi-elf city is in the forest, so this fire is probably their home base.

Therefore, even if they knew that they could win with minimal casualties, they might not agree with Murphy's idea.

………………

Murphy's words are easy to understand. He just used the simplest language to tell them a modern perspective on war. He really didn't have any plans, he just pointed out a direction for these half-elves. First understand your own strengths, then find out your own weaknesses, use your strengths as much as possible to attack the enemy's weaknesses on the battlefield, and then try to avoid your own weaknesses.

Different perspectives, different ways of thinking.

Very simple reason.

Everyone sitting here suddenly became thoughtful after listening to it.

What Murphy said is just a truth. As for whether you can use your own advantages and discover the enemy's disadvantages, that is the time to test your personal abilities.

simply put.

It's time to verify whether a person has military talent.

"Explore your strengths and avoid your weaknesses?" The half-elf queen looked at Murphy thoughtfully, her thoughts changed bit by bit, and her whole perspective suddenly changed.

Before, they had been thinking about some clever plan to defeat the Lizardmen, but they neglected to think about the problem from the enemy's perspective, let alone figured out exactly what kind of actions the enemy would take in response. They just simply looked at it from their own perspective, their own Use your strengths to think about problems.

Very simple words.

But after everyone sitting there understood the reason, they couldn't help but look at Murphy with a little more respect.

Obviously, his casual remarks have made these half-elves put him in the position of master tactician. But having said that, Murphy actually has the title of ‘Master Tactic’ in the attributes section of the auxiliary page of “Total War”

"Then what exactly should we do?"

The first person to speak was the pure-blooded elf druid. He looked at Murphy with eager eyes, as if Murphy had invisibly guided him to a bright light, allowing these wild druids to treat him. His senses were immediately heightened to a very powerful height. The theoretical basis provided by Murphy is universal. It is not only used in wars, but also in any battle. These druids are all people with extraordinary talents, and they naturally feel a sense of enlightenment.

Don't underestimate those modern truths that are so common and common that everyone seems to know them.

We are standing on the shoulders of giants, not just on the shoulders of giants, but also on the shoulders of countless sages and sages to think about problems. When some arrogant people talk about these ancestors, they forget that it is the testimony of those ancestors that gives them the perspective they have today. In fact, people who have transcended an era can basically claim the title of philosophers and sages.

No matter how bad he is, he is still a qualified dog-headed strategist...

"We have hippogryphs, but those lizardmen don't have flying units. We know every move they make." Murphy first pointed out the biggest advantage of the semi-elves, which is to have aerial vision. Under this, the enemy has almost no way to use any conspiracy.

"But we don't have many hippogryphs." A priest of the moon god Elun said.

"It doesn't matter, the feral druid can tame the eagle, and the eagle is our eyes." A feral druid with oil paint on his body said solemnly.

Murphy smiled, looked around, and saw that everyone was waiting for him to speak, and then continued: "Our biggest advantage is that we have a large number of excellent archers. Under the rain of arrows from the archers, they will have to pay huge casualties. .”

"but"

"Our disadvantage is also obvious. We cannot withstand the attack of those lizardmen on the frontal battlefield. Under the impact of their giant lizard legion, our defense line is as fragile as a layer of nv-membrane."

All the females present here blushed in shock, especially the priests of the moon god Elune in the row on the right.

Murphy didn't know if these half-elves had such a thing as virginity, but judging from their expressions, it seemed that they did. Arturia, who was in the main hall, gave Murphy a hard look because of this vulgar metaphor.

"For a long time, you have always placed the battlefield in the woods, or near the woods, relying on the advantages of half-elves in the jungle to deal with the enemy." Murphy didn't care about the expressions of the female half-elves. He was high-spirited, Talking eloquently: "But have you ever thought that when you took advantage of the dense forest to deal with the enemy, you gave up your greatest advantage?"

After hearing this, everyone here couldn't help but lower their heads and think deeply.

Then it dawned on me.

"That's right"

"Once you fight in a dense forest, the advantage of bows and arrows will be weakened to the extreme. The dense woods will not only cause trouble to the enemy, but also limit the firepower advantage brought by your large number of archers."

In the dense forest, a large number of trees blocked the line of sight, and the archers were simply unable to achieve intensive shooting and firepower coverage.

"But if you don't fight in dense forests, how can you rely on to defend against the enemy's strong attacks and stabilize the frontal battlefield defenses so that the huge archer force can be effective?"

Speaking of this, Murphy shrugged and said somewhat helplessly: "The Athenian army has never lost on a frontal battlefield."

"but"

Murphy's expression was serious, and he cast his gaze on the half-elf queen, and said solemnly: "It is impossible for only less than six thousand Athenian soldiers to withstand tens of thousands of lizard warriors on the frontal battlefield. .”

"I wouldn't let them do it even if I could."

"Because Athens is just an ordinary city, not a city-state. They are all citizens of Athens, the best warriors of Athens, and the strongest pillar of the city. I simply cannot bear such a big loss."

Murphy looked around and expressed his position very seriously.

Although he promised Artoria to come to the aid of the demi-elves, it was impossible for him to sacrifice all his soldiers and citizens in this war for the victory of the demi-elves. This was his responsibility as the governor of Athens. Responsibilities and obligations.

Because of his army, his citizens trust him

"Then, we need to use other methods to restore our disadvantage on the frontal battlefield." Murphy's voice was sonorous and powerful, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "This is the focus of our discussion next."

………………

Looking at the powerful Murphy in the center of the hall, the young girl did not feel disgusted as usual, but looked a little distant.
