Chapter 1122 The plot that gradually surfaced
"I still don't understand."
It's not that Ice Storm disagreed with Meng Chao's analysis, she was just puzzled, "The commander of the Great Horn Legion seems to be a very shrewd person. How could he not understand the principles you said?
"Then why would he watch the army he had painstakingly built seek death and be destroyed?"
Indeed, tens of thousands of rat people can be mobilized to rise up in the main cities of the five major clans such as Black Corner City at the same time.
And being able to stand between the Bloodhoof Clan and the Golden Clan, he started from scratch and built a team that dared to challenge his former master.
It also possesses a large number of technologies derived from the ancient Turan people, as well as the secrets of the temple.
The manipulator behind the Big Horn Legion definitely doesn't look like a fool.
What benefit does such a suicidal strategy have to him?
"Of course there are benefits."
While Meng Chao was sipping the mandala paste that was not thick, he patiently analyzed it to Ice Storm, "Have you noticed that we have experienced a total of four siege battles. After each battle, those who performed particularly special
Are all the brave and brave warriors of the rat people who were lucky enough not to die after taking the 'miraculous medicine', or even suffered from severe side effects, as well as the extremely skilled warriors in combat, all gone?"
Ice Storm was slightly startled.
The Archhorn Legion is extremely mobile.
Basically, rebels from all over Turanze are being replenished every day.
In the confused march, they kept falling behind, even completely disintegrating, and then reorganized.
And the siege warfare that relied on the human sea tactic was outrageously expensive.
As a result, the "comrades" around them rotated like a revolving door, and they rarely saw familiar faces.
Ice Storm didn't pay attention to the details Meng Chao said.
Meng Chao spoke categorically: "I have observed that this was the case in every four siege battles. Those rat warriors who performed particularly well and had a strong tolerance for the 'miraculous medicine' often died after victory.
He was taken away by the Rat God Priests.
"And in the next siege, especially the extremely bloody trench consumption before storming the tower, they will never appear.
"It's like...cutting leeks. Through bloody and arduous battles, the best ones among the tens of millions of rat people will be selected."
There are no leeks in Turanze.
Ice Storm was slightly startled.
It wasn't until Meng Chao explained it with "the young leaves on the branches of the mandala" that she suddenly realized it.
"You are saying that the series of battles we have experienced in the past half month are the Big Horn Legion's way of selecting elite soldiers?" she murmured.
"That's right, hasn't the Great Horn Legion been selecting elite soldiers in this way since the beginning of the Skyfall Grassland?"
Meng Chao sneered and said, "As the saying goes, 'Soldiers are more valuable than more elites.' No matter whether it is the Big Horn Legion or the five major clans, no one needs so much cannon fodder that wastes food. If they can survive and eliminate the fittest through bloody and cruel battlefields, 90% of them will
All the unqualified rat people were eliminated, leaving only one-tenth of the elite who had experienced hundreds of battles.
"On the one hand, it can greatly reduce the food consumption of the Big Horn Legion, and at the same time, it can improve their mobility and concealment, and make it easier to command. Wouldn't it be much better than foolishly controlling so many rabble who only waste food?"
"so"
Ice Storm thought for a while and repeated Meng Chao's speculation, "The guys hiding behind the Big Horn Legion never thought about capturing so many towns. The so-called purpose of capturing cities and territories is just to use the method of survival of the fittest to truly eliminate the rat people."
Select the strong ones?"
"Yes, I even suspect that there was no 'Big Horn Legion' at the beginning. In other words, the size of the Big Horn Legion at that time was far less exaggerated than what the envoys, officers and priests said. Let alone a million-strong army. There are not hundreds of thousands, at best, there are only tens of thousands. Otherwise, it will far exceed the limit of what the underground ecosystem we see deep in the rift valley can withstand."
Meng Chao said, "In the beginning, the messengers of the Rat God only used the tiger's skin to raise the banner, and deceived all the rat people into inciting them.
"However, when millions of rat people were ignited with the anger of resistance, gathered together desperately, and endured many hardships in the cruel war, when those guys who tenaciously crawled back from the edge of hell gradually began to When they stand out, the so-called 'most elite armed Great Horn Legion under the Rat God' is truly worthy of its name!"
The ice storm was silent for a long time.
"It's not that I don't believe that the mastermind hiding behind the scenes would never use such a ruthless method to form an elite rat army."
Ice Storm frowned slightly and said cautiously, "I just don't understand. Even if the other party's strategic goals are fully realized, what will happen if he really gets an elite rat army full of anger and hatred, crawling back from the edge of hell?
"Can this elite rat army be able to compete with the Golden Clan or the Bloodhoof Clan, which are all heavily armed groups composed of totem warriors?"
"Of course it's impossible."
Meng Chao shook his head and said, "No matter how fierce, tyrannical, and fearless the elites of the Big Horn Legion are, even if their size is more than ten times that of the clan army composed of totem warriors, they still won't win at all. hope."
no way.
The alien world with psychic powers is, after all, a world where the right to speak is determined by the size of your fist.
If the weak rely on numbers, they can easily overwhelm the strong.
The history and future of other worlds would not be so exciting and unpredictable.
"So, what on earth was the guy who created the 'Great Horned Rat God' and the 'Great Horned Legion' thinking about?"
Ice Storm became more and more unable to guess what the other party was thinking. "I have invested so much effort and resources in vain, just to create an army of rat people that has never appeared in Turanze's history, and then send it to the world with my own hands." The execution stand?"
"You're wrong about that."
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course, the Big Horn Legion is no match for the Golden Clan's heavily armed group. Once the totem warriors get serious, the rat people will definitely be killed and lose their armor, and they will be completely defeated.
"However, defeat is one thing, annihilation is another.
"What's more, the so-called 'annihilation' often does not mean that the entire army has been slaughtered, but that the organization has been blown up, the commanders have been killed, the soldiers have completely lost their will to fight, and they have fled and surrendered in droves.
“Throughout the ages, in countless ‘battles of annihilation’, at most 20% to 30% of the soldiers who were actually massacred were captured by the victors.
"And as long as there is no unforgettable hatred between the two sides, and the victor's food is not too tight, it is impossible to trap and kill all the prisoners. Especially, the prisoners this time are the best among countless rat people, who have been tempered and screened through many times. By.
"Whether they serve as cannon fodder or slave labor, they are the best materials. They can make the Golden Clan's heavy army group that defeated and captured them suddenly expand in strength. What do you think?"
The ice storm suddenly became clear.
Meng Chao's analysis opened up a whole new line of thinking in her mind.
Yes, on the surface, the Golden Clan seems to be the biggest victim of this "Big Horn Rebellion".
After all, under the strategy of "driving tigers and devouring wolves" from the four major clans such as Bloodhoof, the angry and unruly rat people from all over the country were all driven into the territory of the Golden Clan, and they had already caused chaos in the southern part of the territory.
It was a complete mess.
However, if you think about it carefully, besides temporarily losing a few towns and humiliating the glory of the Golden Clan.
The Golden Clan is not broken.
In the last glorious era, they once entered and exited the Land of Holy Light seven times, killing the night watchmen and magicians with fear. Even the most violent dwarves' beards trembled when they heard their names.
Unscathed.
Next, if this group of wolves, tigers and leopards, who are recharging their energy, all come down from the mountain like tigers, sweeping across thousands of armies, and severely inflict heavy damage on the Big Horn Army.
The Great Horn Legion, which is out of ammunition and food, has a bloated structure, and lacks basic quality and effective command, is very likely to collapse in an instant.
At that time, if the leaders of the defeated troops are not willing to starve to death, there will be only one way to survive in front of them.
That is, surrender to the Golden Clan!
"so……
"The so-called 'Great Horned Rat God' and 'Great Horned Legion' are basically the work of the Golden Clan!"
Ice Storm suddenly realized.
When they were in Black Horn City, Kasaval Bloodhoof and the elders of the family once used this excuse to explain the existence of the Rat God's messenger.
Although the excuse is made up by them.
But it is precisely because this excuse has a certain degree of rationality that it is convincing enough.
If Kasava·Bloodhoof had hit it crookedly.
Everything is explained.
Why, the rat people can organize a large number of manpower to sneak into the underground of Black Point City without anyone noticing, and carry out large-scale earthworks and high-precision blasting operations.
Why, they seem to know the temples in Noire City well, know how to crack the mechanisms in the temples, and steal the treasures in the temples. You know, there are many ancient weapons and armor fragments with thousands of years of history.
Because the totem on the surface is fragmented, their spiritual magnetic field is extremely unstable.
If it is not smeared with secret medicine and sealed with secret techniques, once it touches the air, it will release violent and unparalleled spiritual energy, enough to instantly burn those who come in contact to ashes.
Why, a small group of grassroots officers and soldiers of the Big Horn Legion, including Round Bone Stick and Old Bearskin, are so well-trained that they are no less competitive than the elites of the five major clans.
Even why the secret camp of the Big Horn Legion has always existed in the gap between the territory of the Bloodhoof Clan and the territory of the Golden Clan, and has never been discovered.
"The rise of the Great Horn Legion is supported by the Golden Clan!"
