C61 layer defense

Deep inside the Linze Province, Huang Bo delivered a report.

The Sea race army was overbearing, continuously attacking six provinces in the south of the Daiyuan Kingdom. The Daiyuan Kingdom had lost two million troops, the Sea Clan had lost five hundred thousand soldiers, and they had split into five hundred thousand troops to rob and plunder in the hinterland of the Daiyuan Kingdom. The remaining seven million troops divided into two groups and rushed towards the direction of the Qingming Kingdom, all the way towards the direction of the Linze Province, intending to pass through the Linze Province to attack Li Tangguo.

"Everyone, this can be considered as good news. There are only 4 million troops coming towards us, which is much less than what we expected." However, the Sea Clan's combat power is strong, even with five hundred thousand casualties, we were able to eliminate two million troops of the Daiyuan Kingdom. Although our Guo Family's army is stronger than the army of the Daiyuan Kingdom, we can't stop four million of the Sea Clan's army with just five hundred thousand. It's impossible for us to fight head on. We can only use wits! "

Guo Nan looked at the battle report, his expression heavy. He had expected that the number of people who would attack Li Tangguo would be five to six million, but in reality, they were a bit fewer. However, the fighting strength of the Sea Clan was much stronger than he had expected. In a one on one battle, the Guo Family Army might not even be a match, much less a one against eight.

Dugu Hong, Pan Feng, Huang Bo, Gao Lin and the rest had dark and gloomy expressions, and were silent for a long time.

The strength of the Sea Clan caused them to be shocked. It was impossible to use brute force. Wise? How to use it?

Eight times the number of Sea race army, and one alone with the stronger Sea Clan Soldiers, speaking of intelligence, it was somewhat laughable.

"What do you all think? Let's all express our opinions. In times of crisis, we might be able to find a way. " Guo Nan said while pretending to be relaxed.

Huang Bo muttered to himself for a moment, then said: "The road we take is a relatively dry area of the Linze Province, for the rest of the places, it is difficult for the army to pass through, and the baggage could easily sink into the mud, or even walk into the swamp, we are dead for sure. We still need about ten days before the Seafolk reach our position. This period of time is enough for us to dig out layers of trenches and stop the Seafolk from travelling. Their soldiers can climb out of the trenches, but they can't pass through the food supply carriages. Once they enter the Linze Province, without food and supplies or siege equipment, their morale will go down the drain. "

"General, the Seafolk live in the sea. They never use any siege equipment." Guo Nan said indifferently as he looked at Huang Bo.

Huang Bo's face turned red, he felt extremely embarrassed when he was stared at by Guo Nan.

"Tell the army to advance twenty miles forward, and to dig a trench ten meters deep and ten meters wide every five hundred meters." Order the army to advance twenty miles forward, and every five hundred meters, dig a trench ten meters wide, and connect the two sides of the trench to the mud field.

The three main generals of the Central Army left the main tent with their lives written in the characters of 'wrapping', 'corpse' and 'reply'.

Huang Bo could not help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw that Guo Nan had still accepted his suggestion.

"Young Prince, we still have tens of cars with us, can we make use of them?" Gao Lin asked with a muffled voice.

"Un, I've calculated it already. The number of spikes could barely be laid at the bottom of a trench. If it is placed in the middle, it could only slow down the attacking tempo of the Seafolk." Guo Nan nodded in agreement. He had already prepared these things long ago, so he had already thought of them before he came. Including digging of the trenches, the most basic defensive structures were not's suggestions.

"Can you guys come up with something new? I've already thought about it beforehand. There's no need for any more nonsense, I'll directly arrange for someone to do it. " Guo Nan saw that the rest of them did not have a good idea, and said angrily.

Huang Bo thought for a moment, then said: "My lord, wait until the trench is dug, and when the entire army returns, we will set up a trap on the spot. "Time is limited. We can't set it up too much, but it can effectively delay the Seafolk's attack and kill a portion of them."

"Huang Bo, the back of your military book is pretty good. Do you think I would not think of such an insignificant skill?"

Guo Nan looked down on Huang Bo for a while and ordered: "The Heavenly Army should be responsible for this, we can dig the trap now and leave a path for the army to come back before covering the trap. The traps do not have to be dug densely. All they need to do is to have a lethal effect on them and make the Seafolk fear them. "

"General's orders!"

The atmosphere became silent. In the tent, no one spoke a word. Without pass, without mountains, it was extremely difficult to stop the Sea race army. The three methods were actually all related to digging holes. Huang Bo had thought of this when he was competing for the General status. In other words, these things alone were not enough to stop the Sea race army. At most, it would delay them for a few days, and kill tens of thousands of people.

By relying on the trenches to intercept grain, only a portion of it could be intercepted. Sea Clan Soldiers could carry the grain and crawl out of the trenches. Once they rushed into Li Tangguo, they could plunder new grain and get it immediately.

"Don't you have any ideas? So many people, and all of them are just trash! "

Guo Nan waited for a long time, but did not get any good suggestions, causing his heart to become angry. The reason why he was so angry was to motivate the generals to come up with a plan. Unfortunately, it was all part of his plan and he was disappointed.

Huang Bo, Gao Lin and the others lowered their heads, ashamed.

"Gao Lin, bring your men with you to a location about forty miles away. There is a river running through the river, and if you guys dig according to the construction of the trench, you should be able to reach a depth of two meters. The trench is over a hundred meters wide. When we get there, the army of five hundred thousand will work together. We have to finish this before the Seafolk arrived, and in the end, cut open the dike and lead the river into the trench to stop the Seafolk. " Guo Nan tapped the table with his fingertips, looking like he was confident.

Everyone looked at each other, wanting to say something but not daring to.

When he was angry, he was the same as Guo Ziyi. When he was bland and expressionless, he was even more terrifying than when he was angry, because no one knew who he would scold next, or what the consequences would be.

Seeing that the generals did not dare say anything, Guo Nan was secretly pleased: "Seems like I've done well. Leading the troops is not child's play.

"Young Master Nan, the Sea Clan should not be afraid of water, right? Furthermore, the water that is attracted by the great river will flow into the trench that is almost ten kilometers long. The current will be very gentle. Let alone the Sea Clan, us human soldiers will be able to swim even slightly underwater if we were to swim through it. "

Other people did not dare to expose Guo Nan, because Dugu Hong was the bad guy.

He didn't know why, but it seemed that speaking to Guo Nan wasn't as smooth as when he was in Changyang City.

After he finished speaking, Dugu Hong lowered his head, afraid of being scolded.

"General Qian, do as I say. If you can't complete the mission, go and accompany your father to feed the horse!" Guo Nan roared in anger, and chased Gao Lin out of the main tent, causing everyone present to not even dare to breathe loudly.

Dugu Hong frowned slightly, and thought to himself: "It's a little strange, Young Master Nan isn't a man who will give up his face no matter what! Why are you being so stubborn? "
