C61 layer defense (1/2)

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?”
