Warlords: Rise of the System

After receiving the news, Lu Tianhao immediately called together several important figures including Wang Hui and held an emergency meeting.

Lu Tianhao said seriously, “Several of our generals who attacked Ming Island sent messages almost at the same time.

They all mentioned the strategy of besieging the city and attacking the reinforcements. What do you think of this? "

Wang Hui spoke first and said, “Besieging the city and attacking the reinforcements may be a good thing for us.

Those bandits and multinational coalition forces all retreated into the city, attempting to fight a city attack and defense battle with us.

However, there are still many people from our Tianlong country in these cities. If we fight to capture the cities, we will definitely be at a disadvantage.

The enemy has been surrounded by us, but they have certainly requested reinforcements.

They will certainly fight to the death before reinforcements arrive.

If we forcefully attack during this period of time, we ourselves will also suffer considerable losses!

In this way, even if we successfully capture these cities, the casualties will be too heavy to be worth the cost.

After all, victory in a war does not only depend on the number of cities captured, but more importantly on reducing one's own losses.

Since the bandits and the multinational coalition forces want to wait for their reinforcements to arrive, we will oblige them by besieging them but not actively attacking them.

Of course, we can also look for the right opportunity to launch small-scale attacks.

But it should be noted that you should try to avoid a full-scale attack to avoid causing huge casualties to your own troops.

In short, in this war, we must act prudently and gain the greatest fruits of victory at the lowest cost.”

Lu Tianhao nodded after hearing this and said, "Besieging the city and attacking the reinforcements is indeed a good strategy at the moment.

In this way, we can not only attract more enemy troops to come to reinforce, but also annihilate them in one fell swoop, weaken the enemy's strength, and thus reduce the pressure of subsequent sieges."

He pondered for a moment, then continued, “No matter how many reinforcements the bandits and the multinational coalition forces send.

As long as we can eliminate them all, it will definitely undermine the morale of the enemy troops defending the city.

Let’s not talk about the bandits’ troops for now. They are all die-hards and will definitely fight to the death.

In fact, even if the bandit troops wanted to surrender, our soldiers might not be willing to accept it.

After all, these bandits have brought us great pain and loss, and we all hate them to the core." Lu Tianhao explained with a serious face.

“The multinational coalition’s forces are completely different from the bandits’ forces.

They are not as stubborn as the bandits. If we treat the captives well and do not kill them at will, they will easily surrender once they are in trouble.

The surrender of the multinational coalition forces will inevitably have a major impact on the bandit forces and greatly shake their morale.

At this time, we can take the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack on the bandit troops.

I firmly believe that by then we will be able to easily capture the entire city." Lu Tianhao said confidently.

Li Guangjie frowned and said seriously, "Our purpose of besieging the city and attacking the reinforcements is to prevent the enemy's reinforcements.

But are the three dual-carrier fleets we deployed on Ming Island too small? " His tone was full of concern.

Wang Hui nodded in agreement and said, “That’s right, if the bandits and the multinational coalition forces come to reinforce us, the scale will definitely be huge.

Transporting large numbers of army troops by sea requires a large number of troop transports.

In order to ensure the safety of these troop transports, the enemy will certainly send a large fleet to escort them.

More importantly, if the enemy decides to abandon Ming Island, then they will definitely send a large fleet to pick up their troops on Ming Island.

The naval strength of our National Salvation Army is now quite powerful, and this fact has long been known to the high-level officials of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces.

If they did not form a powerful joint fleet, they would probably not dare to come to the rescue.

So, I dare to assert that whether they come to rescue or continue to challenge our navy.

The bandits and the multinational coalition will definitely form a large-scale naval fleet.

The naval fleet they are forming is likely to be much larger than any previous fleets.

It can be said that this siege will turn into a large-scale naval battle.”

Lu Tianhao smiled, his lips slightly raised, his eyes flashing with confidence, and he chuckled.

"The last time, the combined fleet of the bandits and the multinational coalition forces was completely destroyed by us."

He paused, his eyes sharpened, and he spoke in a firm tone.

“They have suffered such a huge loss that they will never give up easily.

However, after such a long time, we haven't received any news about them.

This makes me suspect that the bandits and the multinational coalition forces must be secretly plotting a conspiracy."

He crossed his arms over his chest, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he continued, "According to intelligence, there are currently more than 400,000 bandits and multinational coalition forces gathered on Ming Island.

More than half of them are elite troops of the multinational coalition.

Faced with such a huge military force, the great powers will never give up theirs easily.

Although we once said that we could redeem their soldiers with silver dollars.

But in reality, this approach may make the major powers feel very embarrassed.

After all, if a country's military needs to be rescued by paying a ransom, then the country's prestige and status will be greatly damaged.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the great powers will adopt this approach to resolve the issue.

More importantly, if we successfully captured these more than 300,000 multinational coalition soldiers.

And they required each person to pay a ransom of at least two thousand silver dollars, so the total amount of the ransom would be as high as six or seven hundred million silver dollars.

Such a huge ransom is a huge fortune for any country.

And if we can get this ransom, the strength of our national salvation army will be further enhanced.

This is obviously not a situation that the major powers want to see.

Therefore, based on the above analysis, it can be concluded that the great powers are very likely to send a combined fleet to come to the rescue.

Because they don't want to lose so many elite troops, nor do they want to see us receive a huge ransom, which will allow the National Salvation Army to continue to grow in strength.

I will dispatch another ten dual-carrier fleets to the waters surrounding Ming Island for surveillance.

Once we find the combined fleet of the pirates and the multinational coalition, we might as well have another fierce battle with them at sea."

Hearing this, everyone showed excitement.

Naval generals expressed their support and began to formulate specific combat plans.

After receiving the order, the landing force of the National Salvation Army on Ming Island also formulated a series of combat plans.

Although they were preparing to besiege the city and attack the reinforcements, these landing troops of the National Salvation Army would not give up any opportunity to strike the enemy.
