Chapter 185 Doubt about Life
Zou Peng nodded when he heard this, and when Mo Lan finished speaking, he also spoke.
"When you left, I asked Ye Qing, the commander-in-chief of the previous battle."
"Well, I remember him. What did he say?"
"He was confused."
"Um?"
Mo Lan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"He said that he had a head-on confrontation with the Knights squad because the Knights squad only had ten people, all of them cavalry. They were small, fast, and slippery. At the time, he only had a group of warriors and a group of players who were not even warriors. There were not many archers, and they basically couldn't shoot accurately.
Therefore, after he separated several knight squads, he couldn't divide them any further. He could only use the majority against the minority. In the absence of horse traps, he could only build chevaux de frise to deal with it.
But it’s different now, why do we have to fight the Knights head-on?
The Knights Templar is a whole, a whole formed by the resonance of fighting spirit. Once an accident occurs, it will trigger a chain reaction. It is inseparable. Once divided, it is no longer a Knights Templar, but just a group of knight teams.
Although under the overall strengthening of the fighting spirit resonance, chevaux de frise, tripwires, horse traps and the like are of little use.
But they can dig trenches, create swamps, and dig big pits. No matter how strong the fighting spirit resonance is, can it be strong enough to make them fly?
Fire attack, flooding, burying, there is always one that suits them, and these are not difficult for mages.
The soul of the Knights lies in the charge, and the significance of fighting spirit resonance lies in the whole. If they cannot charge and cannot form a whole, then what is the point?
A group of warriors?"
"The Knights are like the chariots of the Warring States Period. In the era of declaration before battle, they are very powerful when everyone arranges a time and finds a plain to charge each other. Once they charge, they are unstoppable.
But when the era of undeclared war came, the chariot was swept directly into the garbage dump."
Zou Peng said after a moment of silence.
"He finally said... You are not nobles, you are players, why are you talking to them about the ethics of the underworld and the ethics of the nobility?
Using slave-era rules to control my socialist players, what a great official power!"
"Yes, it's a simple truth, but why didn't I think of it?"
Mo Lan silently covered his face with his hands and fell into deep self-doubt.
Zou Peng also fell silent, and spoke after a long time.
"How?"
"Dig traps, dig trenches, create swamps, then lure the Knights in, plug the gaps, and bury them."
Zou Peng silently opened the detailed map of Hongfeng City and pointed to a corner in the north.
“Look here, this river comes out of Mirror Lake and passes through this valley.
This valley is not too big, but very high, with steep slopes around it and a flat plain in the middle, like a perfect bowl, except for a gap on this side.
Mo Lan took a look and immediately understood something.
“How thick is the riverbank?”
"It's about a few dozen meters. It's a mixture of soil and rocks. Soldiers can't dig it, but mages can do it with ease."
"Why do you know so much?"
"Ye Qing told me. He said he wanted to use it to deal with the knight squad before, but the river bank was too thick and he couldn't dig it open. Then you brought the mage group here, so he kept it for no use.
You are also familiar with the terrain of Jinghu Lake. Jinghu Lake is a lake located in the mountains with a huge terrain difference.
This valley is dozens of meters deep. As long as the river bank is dug open and blocked, there will be dozens of meters deep water.
The Knights led the team in, and even the gods couldn't save them."
Mo Lan fell into deep thought.
"Is the valley big? Will they escape before the water floods?"
“It’s quite large, with a plain in the middle, which is very suitable for heavy cavalry charges. We can use it to challenge the Knights and trick them into coming over.
As long as you set up hidden traps and trenches at the back to limit the charge speed of the Knights, they will definitely not be able to escape.
There is a difficulty. You must let the Knights in first, and you must not let them find these holes when they go in. Then you must complete the arrangement within a short period of time after they go in, and you cannot give them time to react. "
Mo Lan shook his head.
“That’s not a problem, I just thought about it.
Use traps to kill the Knights. If the soil layer covering the traps is too thin, the Knights are not fools and will definitely find out.
If it is too thick, it will take time to collapse, and by this time people would have already run away.
Unless they dig a giant pit several thousand meters long and wide so that he can't escape, it's not very realistic.
Therefore, pit-killing will not work in a short period of time, but if we just create trenches and large pits to limit the speed of the charge, there will be no problem.
As long as it is dug in advance and the soil layer is thicker, they won’t be able to find it.
Then I can use the Earth-Splitting Technique to make all the soil sink.
This Earthshattering Technique can also be used on this mountain."
Mo Lan pointed to the mountain on one side of the valley entrance and said.
"I can lead people to hollow out the mountain in advance and loosen the soil. Then the mountain will collapse and block the exit."
"Then arrange it for him?"
Zou Peng raised his eyebrows, and Mo Lan nodded.
“Well, if they really come with hostility, then make arrangements.
If I were to be given a title, I think I still have the qualities of an earl... Oh no, I should say that when friends come, I have wine, and when enemies come, I have a shotgun!"
"Bullshit, you just want the position of Earl. I despise people like you the most."
Zou Peng said with disdain.
"You're not greedy!"
"greedy!"
Zou Peng said confidently.
After a while of chatting and laughing, Mo Lan suddenly sighed.
"Why are you sighing?"
"I'm just saying that the war situation is changing, and the times are changing!"
Zou Peng paused slightly and nodded.
“Indeed, previous players only played small games and it didn’t matter if they played tricks.
We are basically on the stage now, and if we launch a big wave directly, the whole form of the war will change.
The direct change from a promised war to an undeclared war would break the long-standing unspoken rules among the nobles, forming a chain of suspicion and never being able to go back to the way it was before.
But this is inevitable. Why are you sighing? Are you acting like a hipster? "
“No, no, no, I’m just sighing that those who play tactics are all evil.
I was reminded before but I didn’t think of this water attack. I think I am more suitable for research. "
Mo Lan twisted his neck.
"If a fireball doesn't solve the problem, then use a nuclear fireball.
No matter if it's flooded or buried in the ground, I'll hit it right away.
With my personality and way of thinking, no matter how much I learn, I will never be able to beat Ye Qing and his group of dirty commanders in playing these dirty tricks.
Instead of using my weaknesses to compete with other people's strengths, it is better to play to my own strengths and directly use dimensionality reduction to destroy everything.
Again, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a nuclear bomb. If there is, then use two nuclear bombs."
A smile appeared on Mo Lan's face.
"And compared to these convoluted schemes, it's much more refreshing and direct to just plant some mushrooms when there's a disagreement.
Isn’t it? "
