Chapter 559： 2 sand table games

After listening to Marquis Rose's words, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and motioned for the other party to continue.

"Lord Lord, although there are nine cities in Kongqing Town, Mailan Town, Magnet Town, Chijian Town, Shuiyue City, Fenglong City, Fanyin City, Shanjing Principality, and Lan Lengbao under our sphere of influence. , the overall strength is quite good, and the total strength is close to 40,000."

I saw Marquis Rose bowing slightly, and said with a stern expression: "However, compared with the first prince and the second prince, who are already on the bright side in this cold flame eastern region, they have an extremely fatal disadvantage."

"Tell me."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao first took a sip of the steaming fragrant tea, then put down the teacup and said again.

"That's our forces. It's too scattered. It's impossible to gather our forces and start a large-scale battle without the other party's awareness."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Marquis Rose still maintained a respectful posture and responded: "Regardless of the southern part of the territory in the Shadow Forest, this cold flame eastern area is close to the frontier battlefield, with Songluo City as the center. The Grand Prince's faction.

It is still in the west of the territory in the Shadow Forest. The eastern part of this cold flame is located in the center. The second prince faction centered on Tiege Castle is very concentrated. Gather a huge army. "

"The Marquis of Rose is right, it is true."

Hearing this, Bert, who was also extremely burly, showed a look of approval on his deeply wrinkled old face.

And then thoughtfully said: "The territory located in the shadow forest is only Kongqing Town on the other side of the river, and under the Baibu Mountains, Magnet Town, which is due to the north of Kongqing Town, and Mailan, which is due to the south of Kongqing Town. The town, a total of three cities, constitutes a defensive barrier."

Gently rubbing his chin, Burt continued: "And the defenders in the three cities together are only close to 10,000 people. This point is related to the two princes' hands, at least 60,000 or more. Compared with the strength of the army, it is indeed a little stretched."

"Senior Bert is right. If you include Red Arrow Town, which is located in the southeast of Mailan Town, there are at most four cities."

On the other side, the orange and white face also showed a pensive look, and added: "However, in Chijian Town, there is only a mercenary team of 2,000 people headed by Donna.

In the absence of formal coordinated combat training, it is acceptable to defend the city, but if it is attacked on the battlefield, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness is far less than that of the garrison troops in each city. "

"What the two kingdom generals said is very true."

I saw Marquis Rose, who was standing beside Lei Xiao respectfully, and said: "However, the situation is not that bad. After all, in the territory in the Shadow Forest, there are 19 squadrons of elite second-tier soldiers directly under the Lord."

Holding the orchid finger and smiling, Marquis Rose continued: "Furthermore, there are two tribes that have surrendered to the lord, and they have a total of nine second-order elite squadrons."

"In addition to the three cities of Kongqing Town, Magnet Town, and Mailan Town, the Lord has newly cultivated a total of nine second-order elite squadrons and two second-order princess guards brought by His Royal Highness.

This second-tier elite force of nearly 4,000 people, plus 10,000 ordinary garrison troops, and the main powerhouses under the lord's command, are enough to protect the territory in the face of a prince's all-out attack. "

After speaking, Marquis Rose first bent down and added a cup of hot tea to Lei Xiao, and then said, "Of course, this is the worst case, after all, so far, no opponent knows the specific location and strength of the territory.

The most important thing is that in the eyes of the opponent, we only have a city in Kongqing Town, and there are only more than 3,000 ordinary defenders on the bright side, and what the opponent can't see is the means by which we can win by surprise. "

After a pause, Marquis Rose said to Lei Xiao again: "Lord Lord, even so, if the eldest prince and the second prince once attacked from both sides, then the situation would undoubtedly be very critical.

This is the biggest disadvantage mentioned by the subordinates just now. After all, apart from the above-mentioned four cities, including the subordinate Lan Lengbao, the other five cities are far away from the territory and cannot be reinforcements in time. "

"That's what I've always been worried about."

Lei Xiao, who nodded slightly and frowned slightly, picked up the delicate white porcelain teacup again.

He continued: "In the beginning, I didn't expect that the power of the eldest prince and the second prince, just in this eastern area of ​​Leng Yan, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, is so deeply rooted, I have to say that it is indeed quite tricky. "

Taking a sip of the steaming tea, Lei Xiao smiled again and said, "However, since Marquis Rose's words have come to an end, there must be a solution, right?"

"That's right, Lord Lord, there is just a plan that can turn this disadvantage into an advantage, or our next course of action."

On the other side, Marquis Rose smiled and bowed slightly.

"Very good, it just so happened that I also thought of a good solution, so let's simply deduce each other and see if each other's answers are consistent."

Having said this, Lei Xiao also smiled faintly, and then he instructed the surrounding subordinates to move the two exquisite mahogany square tables to the left and right in front of him.

Next, Lei Xiao put down the teacup and walked straight to a table. With a wave of his hand, a row of blue soldiers and a row of red soldiers appeared on the square table.

These were all gifts from Old Bai when Lei Xiao left the mountain fortress. There were thousands of soldiers and symbols of various colors and shapes.

I saw that Lei Xiao first picked up a blue soldier and placed it in a slightly lower position in the upper right corner of the table.

Immediately afterwards, four blue soldiers were placed in a vertical column in front of the first soldier.

Seeing this scene, all the subordinates on the side nodded thoughtfully.

Needless to say, this naturally represented the territory in the forest, and from top to bottom were the four cities of Magnet Town, Kongqing Town, Mailan Town, and Chijian Town.

Next, Lei Xiao first placed ten red soldiers in a cluster below the blue soldiers representing Chijian Town.

Another ten red soldiers were also placed in a cluster to the left of their blue soldiers, close to the middle of the table.

As a result, surrounded by the two red soldiers on the bottom and left, the five blue soldiers were obviously quite weak.

"The two red soldiers' groups represent the power of the eldest prince and the second prince, right?"

Staring at the square table that had turned into a simple sand table, Mo Yan blinked his iconic big eyes and asked with his head tilted.

"That's right, you girl is still making a lot of progress."

With a faint smile, Lei Xiao picked up another five blue soldiers representing his own city and distributed them in every corner of the square table.

Among them, the one in the lower right corner of the square table represents the Principality of Shanjing, the one on the left side of the second prince's forces represents Fanyin City, and the two up and down on the far left of the table represent the neighboring Shuiyue City and Fenglong City. .

As for the last one, it was a little farther to the left of the eldest prince's forces, and it naturally represented the Lan Lengbao where everyone was currently.

All in all, just as the Marquis of Rose said.

The other five cities are scattered all over the table. Except for the adjacent Shuiyue City and Fenglong City, the others are far apart.

"Lord Lord is really extraordinary. It only took a few seconds to distribute the situation of the enemy and the enemy in the entire eastern area of ​​Leng Yan, and show it clearly."

After Lei Xiao's arrangement was completed, Marquis Rose's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but flattered.

"Okay, let's arrange that table in the same way."

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao waved his hand again, and the same number of red and blue soldiers appeared on another table.

"According to the order, the lord, the subordinates will do it now."

Hearing this, the Marquis Rose immediately came to another table and began to deploy.

After a while, the simple sand table on the two tables was exactly the same. I saw that Lei Xiao first picked up one of the blue soldiers that were idle on the table.

Then, facing the other table, Marquis Rose, who was also holding an idle blue soldier, said: "Okay, then, let's each implement the response plan in our hearts on this table first. ."

"Follow your orders, Lord Lord."

Bowing slightly towards Lei Xiao, Marquis Rose immediately began to act, and Lei Xiao also began to make arrangements.

In this way, it didn't take long for Lei Xiao and Marquis Rose to complete the next action deployment one after another.

I saw that in front of Lei Xiao, on the redeployed simple sand table.

The two princely forces that were originally encircling the territory and the four cities on their own side had been formed by a new group of blue soldiers and other blue soldiers who were originally very scattered, forming a larger encirclement, tight. tightly wrapped in it.

On the other side of Marquis Rose, the layout is almost exactly the same as that of Lei Xiao, which has changed from the original small encirclement to a new situation of a big trap and a small circle.

Seeing this scene, the other subordinates nodded thoughtfully.

At this point, the answer is naturally very obvious.

"Lord Lord is really extraordinary, it's just like what he saw with his subordinate heroes..."

Speaking of which, Marquis Rose, who felt that his words were a little imprecise, quickly changed his words and said, "No, it is undoubtedly the greatest honor for this subordinate to think of going with the Lord!"

"If that's the case, then it's up to you to deploy our next actions and explain briefly."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao said to the enchanting man with a look of reverence.

"Understood, Lord."

After clearing his throat a little, Marquis Rose took a light catwalk and came back to the table where Lei Xiao was.

Then he said to the surrounding subordinates: "My colleagues, the Lord's next plan is actually very simple, that is to occupy the neutral cities on the periphery, so that both inside and outside can bloom at the same time, and the forces of the two princes will be pinched in the middle!"

Speaking of which, Marquis Rose stretched out his orchid finger and pointed to the upper edge of the square table, where two new blue soldiers were placed.

What they represent there are the two cities under the Baibu Mountains, which are not yet under their command.

Immediately afterwards, the Marquis Rose continued: "Especially under the Baibu Mountains, the two cities of Luolong and Gelin that still seem to be neutral at present, as long as we occupy these two cities, plus the already in our hands. Fanyin City.

Once the second prince sends troops to attack the territory, as long as the elites of these three cities are all out, whether it is attacking from the rear, making it difficult for the opponent to keep an eye on each other, or taking advantage of the emptiness of the opponent's city to attack the city, it will give the opponent a fatal blow! "

Nodding to the other main subordinates, Marquis Rose smiled again: "And those who can backstab the forces of the Great Prince are naturally some of the defenders of the mountain fortress and the soldiers of the Principality of Mountain Crystal."

"Shuanghuaqing, do you mean General Bai's mountain fortress?"

Hearing the sound, a look of doubt appeared on Ariel's face.

However, when she looked at the location of the mountain fortress, she found that there was indeed a blue soldier standing behind it.

"Her Royal Highness Princess that's exactly what it is."

Holding the orchid finger, he picked up the blue soldier that Ariel was looking at, and while playing with his hand, Marquis Rose explained: "Of course, what the lord and I are referring to is not the old fortress regiment of Bai Lao.

It is conceivable that with the position that Bai Lao is still loyal to the old king, coupled with the important task of guarding the frontier fortress, it is naturally unrealistic to want him to send troops to backstab the eldest prince. "

With a smile, Marquis Rose continued: "However, many of the other 20,000 garrison troops are from the garrison troops in the cities we control. This part of the force is undoubtedly loyal to us."

"In addition, the lord and the princess are kind to the old general Bai, even if the old general Bai can't take action in person, there is no problem with turning one eye and closing one eye. If necessary, this point is also applicable to Jiang Shan. The elite troops of the Principality of Crystal will come in."

After speaking, Marquis Rose used the orchid finger to gently put the blue soldier back to his original position.

"It turns out that before this, the eldest prince's faction did not send troops to reinforce the mountain fortress, but regarded the mountain fortress as a tool to weaken the Holy Night Army, even if it was allowed to fall and the entire army was wiped out."

Nodding slightly, Ariel's star eyes flickered, and she said thoughtfully: "So, with the character of Old General Bai's love and hate, it is indeed not impossible to do this."

"In addition, the two cities of Fenglong and Shuiyue, although the distance is the farthest, are located at the edge of the eastern area of ​​Lengyan, but in a sense, the effect is the greatest."

At this moment, Marquis Rose pointed to the leftmost area of ​​the square table, and smiled mysteriously again.
