Chapter 33 Biting the Hook

"Although the slogan is very exciting, Isinger's equipment is really heavy!" Ying gritted his teeth and turned a crank together with me. A heavy turret next to him was slowly moving from the armor plate. rise below.

"Wow!" Da Guofan and Ah Wei grinned and pulled the other turntable. "I...I...fuck! Isn't this a human job?"

Jin Coin stood nearby waving a flag and said: "Come on, come on! This is when men want to show their strength!"

Rose also smiled and said: "It was a good idea to install a manual handle at first. Such a big thing should not be driven by human power. But you grown men are too bad, right? Look at how easy it is to be popular. "

When Rose said this, everyone's eyes turned to Zhen Hong, who was in charge of a turntable next to her. Her face remained unchanged and she was fiddling with the huge turntable with a diameter of more than one meter in front of her. The all-steel turntable was in front of her. Her hands were spinning like a flywheel, and the turret linked to the turntable was rising upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Are you kidding? She has a thousand-jin fist arm, and the strength of one arm exceeds eight tons. We are not supermen!" Eagle Throat yelled.

"Wow! Don't let go!" The eagle suddenly let go and I couldn't hold it anymore. The turntable had a tendency to turn back. Fortunately, the eagle came back quickly to help hold it back.

"Now I really envy those big guys!" Ah Wei pushed the wheel while looking at my magic pets not far away. Lucky took everyone to help turn the manual handle to raise the turret mechanism. These big guys with amazing strength turn these small turntables as easily as setting the clock at home. Those with many claws like Red Thorn and Tank can turn several at a time, completely effortlessly!

Rose said to me: "Husband, try transforming into a werewolf. You should be stronger."

"That's right! How could I forget it! Transform into a beast." After growing in size, his strength has obviously improved, and the wheel next to him doesn't feel so heavy anymore. But being able to transform into beasts is my specialty after all. Most players in the guild still have to rely on their own strength to move these equipment, especially those who transport cannonballs. Each super fortress cannon shell weighs at least three hundred kilograms, and it takes several people to move one shell. Moreover, carrying this thing requires climbing stairs equivalent to ten stories high. After only a few trips back and forth, one will be paralyzed from exhaustion!

Our performance was indeed very hard, but the effects were quickly apparent. Around early in the morning the next day, Sumei suddenly ran onto the deck to find Rose and I, and then gave us a special gesture. This is an agreed gesture. Su Mei has been responsible for monitoring Shadow Dancer's movements. When she makes this gesture, it means that Shadow Dancer has received the message. After Masamoto Matsumoto's meeting yesterday, we sent a lot of additional reconnaissance mosquitoes to keep an eye on Shadow Dancer and Masamoto Matsumoto. Now it seems there is news.

Put down what you are doing. We first returned to the conference room to watch the live broadcast. When we entered, General Wu was already sitting inside. The image on the crystal communication screen is exactly the image of the shadow dancer walking into the conference room where Matsumoto Masaru is located.

"Good news, good news." Shadow Dancer was so excited that she could hardly control herself.

Masamoto Matsumoto and a large group of R&B guild leaders were still sitting there in a dejected daze when they suddenly found Shadow Dancer rushing in like this and felt very confused. "What news made you so excited?"

Shadow Dancer said proudly: "My secret spy just sent top-secret information from Isengard."

"Oh?" An Essinger and a piece of top-secret information immediately focused Matsumoto's attention.

Shadow Dancer saw that everyone was listening attentively before he opened his mouth and said: "Isengard had repaired some equipment after arriving on Kyushu Island last night, and the city's movement speed increased significantly, but then an unexplained explosion occurred. , it is said that it seems to be caused by a failure of the energy transmission system, and it seems to have caused a small fire."

"It's just an explosion and then a fire. It can't be considered useful news, right?" Shinoda Shizuo looked like he had given up.

Shadow Dancer smiled evilly. "Things are not that simple. Otherwise, my spies wouldn't risk being exposed to send out the news during such an unforgettable period."

"Oh...? Is there anything more?"

"Of course." Shadow Dancer said proudly: "Almost half an hour after the explosion, Essinger's lighting system suddenly became paralyzed."

"Lighting failure?"

"Yes. The minimum required lighting system was paralyzed. And then Essinger suddenly stopped and switched to defense mode. At that time, Ziri also issued a mobilization order asking all players to defend the city."

"You mean Isengard has stopped operating?" Masamoto Matsumoto finally understood.

"answer."

Upon hearing Shadow Dancer's confirmation of the news, Shota Tanaka also jumped up. "What? Did it really stop? Is it reliable? Did only the lighting and power equipment stop or did it all stop?"

"Movement, weapons, defense, lighting, ventilation, all equipment stopped. According to our spies, it was because the energy lines in the explosion caused energy backflow and burned the energy extraction center. As a result, all energy systems in the entire Essinger Land stopped. Sended."

"Is the news reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable. All my spies have sent the same message. Since last night, Essinger has been using flame lighting, and all the magic lights have been extinguished. And because Essinger's gates and artillery systems all rely on The energy system supports it, so all the gates in Essinger cannot be opened since last night. All my low-level spies participated in the work of opening the doors, and now the people in Essinger are busy using manual handles to open the gates in various areas. Also The defensive artillery on the Isinger deck now all relies on manual operation. The speed will drop a lot, and if we attack now, we will only encounter scattered fire counterattacks."

Masamoto Matsumoto asked worriedly: "What kind of clock do they have? Today is already the second day. That thing should be ready for use again. Wouldn't our people die if they go up there?"

"Hehe, this is the best news." Shadow Dancer smiled and said: "No matter who owns this important thing, the Seven Spiritual Dust Bell, it must be carefully protected, and Ziri is no exception. He put this thing away We are in a very tight room in the center of the city, and the outside is sealed with a ten-meter-thick thousand-pound gate. If you can't open the door, you can't get in. But now the energy system is paralyzed, so Ziri himself can't get in."

"Hahahaha!" Ikeda Tokio suddenly laughed wildly: "Ziri, this big idiot, really shot himself in the foot. His strongest weapon has become a decoration, which can be seen but not touched, haha Ha ha!"

Masamoto Matsumoto's face was already full of excitement. But he still asked cautiously: "But the city power was damaged last night, and it has been all night. Can you repair it?"

Shadow Dancer nodded: "Don't worry at all. The power core is seriously damaged and cannot be repaired. And that equipment is not produced by the Frost Rose Alliance itself. It needs to be purchased from NPC forces. So you won't get the goods quickly, and the fastest is They won't be able to get the new equipment until noon tomorrow, plus the time for repair and installation. Don't even think about moving Essinger before tomorrow night."

"Haha, God is with us." Shinoda jumped to his left and shouted. "Matsumoto-kun, what are you waiting for? Organize people to occupy Isengard immediately."

Masamoto Matsumoto was still a little hesitant. "Miangui, are your spies sure this is not false news?"

"It shouldn't be false." Shadow Dancer said solemnly: "First of all, they have indeed been manually opening the gates and setting up artillery. There are also many people carrying artillery shells on foot and climbing the stairs. The lighting system of Essinger stopped working is also proof. .Starting last night, all the main technical staff of the Frost Rose Alliance got into the power core to repair it. They had not come out when the news was sent. In addition, there is another very subtle point that no one may have noticed, but my spy They all noticed. They said Isengard was boring."

"Boring?" Shinoda Zhizuo asked in confusion. "What's the point of keeping this news closed?"

Masamoto Matsumoto immediately said: "Idiot. As Isinger is so big, the internal ventilation system must not use natural ventilation. They should have huge air flow pumping equipment, and these equipment must require energy. If the city becomes stuffy, , that means the gas exchange equipment is not working properly, and the energy system probably really stopped operating."

"So now is the best time to attack." Shadow Dancer said: "Isengard without power equipment cannot escape, and their defense systems will all stop. The only artillery requires manpower to control, So the speed will drop a lot. There won't be as sharp artillery fire as before. Also, the entrance to Essinger has always been a headache for us, but now we don't have to worry about it. It takes a long time to open and close the gate manually without energy. , they are absolutely too late.”

"And the most important thing is that the damn Seven Spiritual Dust Bell will never come out to harass us again." Shinoda Shizuo added.

"Not bad." Masamoto Matsumoto stood up. "Shota, you go find God Tianzhao, and also find the troops for the last system counterattack. Ikeda and Shinoda, you go gather the troops. Masked Ghost, you continue to monitor Isinger's movements. I'm going to buy some more special ones. With the troops back, this battle must turn Essinger into history."

"Okay. They fell into the trap." Rose stood up from her seat in Essinger's conference room. We just watched Masamoto Matsumoto congratulate them for believing that we put out a smoke screen and made a wrong judgment. The next step is to use this huge advantage of being one step ahead of the enemy to harm Matsumoto Masa's troops as much as possible.

General Wu shook his head and said: "I have to say that Rose Girl is a genius. She can use the enemy's spies so cleverly to mislead the enemy. Initiative on the battlefield is always the magic weapon for victory. A general who can keenly grasp the rhythm of the battlefield is Good general, and Rose Girl, you are not only able to grasp the rhythm, you are a complete battlefield conductor, and you can actually change the battlefield rhythm at will according to your own needs. This time you played a very beautiful note, I believe rb people will do it for you There was a heavy price to pay for this.”

Rose smiled and said: "General, thank you. This is just the beginning, the real problem is still behind. The Japanese will launch a large-scale raid for this, and we can indeed use the Seven Spiritual Dust Bell to effectively eliminate the enemy, but the problem is How many can we eliminate? Since we have worked hard for this, we should get the maximum gain with this effort. I have a more adventurous idea, I don’t know what everyone thinks.”

"Tell me about it." General Wu showed great interest.

Rose said slowly: "Actually, my idea is very simple. That is to have a deadly battle with the Japanese. With Matsumoto Masamoto's cautious character, he will definitely not press the entire army at the beginning, and the large forces will definitely be there. Wait outside the affected area. We cannot retreat too quickly at this time, so we can simply rely on the strength of the players and the remaining NPC troops to fight the RBs to the death and gradually retreat."

Eagle asked: "You mean to pretend to be defeated and lure the enemy deep into Isengard?"

"No." Rose shook her head. "I mean don't pretend, but really retreat. You men may not pay much attention to details. In fact, the players in our guild all have a very fanatical love for Essinger. The initial source of this love is a A sense of superiority. The majestic appearance of Isinger gives our players a huge sense of superiority, especially after the domestic Isinger underground city was opened to the outside world. This sense of superiority became even more powerful. It is because Isinger is This guarantee of superiority, so our players will unconsciously regard Essinger as something that must be protected. Now this happens to be Essinger's guard battle, and our players will definitely show extraordinary performance in this battle. Generally tenacious spirit. Driven by such emotions, the combat effectiveness of our players will increase by 20%. What do you think the RB people will think after discovering that the resistance is so tenacious?"

"If I were Masamoto Matsumoto, I must think that Essinger is really at the end of his rope this time." Eagle expressed his thoughts.

"Yes. It is for this reason that Masamoto Matsumoto must firmly believe that we are really in trouble. And the huge casualties our troops have caused to the Japanese people will make Matsumoto Masaru feel distressed at this time. He was originally worried that we were cheating. At that time, he did not care about these casualties, but once he was convinced that Essinger was about to be occupied, he would care about these small profits. This is the weakness of human nature. Everyone will make such mistakes. When the time comes, Matsumoto will congratulate Reserve regular troops will be put into battle in order to reduce losses. At this time, the tentative attack will turn into a real urban assault. The amount of troops the RB people will invest is absolutely terrifying. Even if Matsumoto Masaru still has some sense to leave some troops , he will also bring in at least half of his troops. I estimate this number to be... 1.5 million."

"three times?"

"Not bad. Three times." Rose nodded vigorously. "A tentative attack of three to five hundred thousand is enough to get it done. Once it is determined that the battle situation is a regular battle. One and a half million is definitely the starting number for Masamoto Matsumoto. The system counterattack PCs he currently has in hand together are at least Three and a half million, he won’t care about any more losses, and besides, the system counterattack NPCs who are the regional guards have a time limit, so if they don’t expire, it won’t count.”

Ah Wei suddenly asked: "But what if the Japanese invade Essinger and destroy the city's facilities? Our Essinger is like a work of art. It would be a sin to damage it even a little bit!"

Rose smiled and said: "Well, you and Matsumoto Masa have similar ideas."

"ah?"

"If the RB people have already invaded Isinger, then Matsumoto Masamoto will think that Isinger is about to be occupied, which means that in Matsumoto Masamoto's heart, Isinger has already affixed the RB flag. At this time, he will Essinger regards it as his own private property, let alone he will not destroy Essinger, even if you want to destroy Essinger, he will stop you."

"makes sense."

General Wu couldn't help but nod: "Girl Rose is so smart, your strategy is perfect!"

Su Mei said: "Sister Rose is different from us. We study strategies and tactics, and if you play to death, you are a strategist. She specializes in studying human society and the weaknesses of human nature. People who are plotted by her can only pray. A miracle happened!"

In fact, Sumei's ability to say this already shows that she is very smart. Rose's combat strategies and policies are indeed different from those of ordinary people. Sumei and General Wu are both thinking about how to win the war, while Rose is thinking about how to attack the opponent's psychology. In Rose's battles, there are few battles that focus on destroying power. What she advocates is psychological warfare. Her enemies often lose the courage to fight even though their troops are still strong after fighting her. This is the strategy of attacking the heart first in the art of war. To say that Masamoto Matsumoto was a brave and decisive person at the time, since our guild invaded rb, Masamoto Matsumoto has become more and more cautious in fighting wars. It can be said that Masa Matsumoto has basically been psychologically castrated by Rose. A good general was tortured into an indecisive softie. The battle of Essinger is about to break out today. If the Roseland plan is really executed perfectly, then Matsumoto Masahi will probably be almost like a useless person in the future. If you give him another 10 million troops, he will only suffer defeat. A tiger under a sheep commander is no more powerful than a flock of sheep.

Our super trap has been fully opened, just waiting for Matsumoto Masahiro and the others to jump. And Masamoto Matsumoto is indeed cooperating in gathering troops to quickly gather on Kyushu Island, but at this time the troops are still on the Honshu side of the Kanmon Strait. The reason is naturally the fleet of our guild.

Essinger pretends to lose power. Judging from the situation under the condition of losing power, we should try our best to prevent the enemy from approaching. Although this is a disguise, the whole play must be done to be credible and to seduce Matsumoto Masaru to bring in a lot of people. Fill this big hole we dug. Therefore, Essinger's fleet must show its determination to defend the Kanmon Strait. To this end, we have specially concentrated the small and medium-sized warships from various forces that we can find. During the battle, these warships will all be "sinked" by the Japanese.

We performed this drama for a whole morning. The Russian friend Matsumoto congratulated helped him get a large number of battleships and cannons, and our fleet pretended to bombard them fiercely. In order to show determination, we issued an order to allow all warships to be "sinked" only after they had run out of ammunition, so the warships exerted extraordinary firepower in this blocking battle. It was this terrifying blocking battle that led Masamoto Matsumoto to believe that something had happened to Isinger in front, otherwise we would not have had to fight them so fiercely for a strait. Masamoto Matsumoto watched as the warships of our guild fought hard until the last one still completely blocked their progress. The ship had only one turret left on the sea and fired its last shot. This momentum of fighting to the death completely showed the intention to protect something, and all the RB commanders thought of Isinger.

Although this strategy is very important, I am not a generous person. Of course, I can't bear to do such a huge undertaking to annihilate the Japanese fleet. Of course. Masamoto Matsumoto did indeed see the scene of the entire fleet being annihilated, but there was no certain degree of contentment in such a total annihilation. First of all, these warships were not sunk, but sank themselves after firing all their shells. Under the water, there is a huge black shadow lurking in the deep sea that no one can see. The diving dock Great White Shark lurks here. The sinking battleships will be swallowed by it and stored in the dock, and then quickly transferred to the Black Kirin floating city lurking under the open sea. Originally, it would have been best for the Black Kirin to come directly to install it, but the Kanmon Strait is not deep enough. The Black Qilin is too huge, and it is really difficult to lurk in the strait without being discovered. But the transportation back and forth on the Jaws is the same, just a little slower.

These sunken warships are basically intact, but a lot of water has been poured into the bottom cabin. After it is delivered to the Black Kirin, you only need to drain the water and it will return to normal. You can continue to use it in the future without wasting it. Frugality is my style.

It was not until noon that their army finally set foot on Kyushu Island. Matsumoto Masako was a little angry about this, but there was nothing that could be done about it. Matsumoto Masaru's current depression is entirely due to Ashford and Feng Yin Piaomiao. These two guys thoroughly carried forward the three-guang policy. There was no city left in the entire Kyushu Island in the past two days. As a result, Matsumoto Masaru couldn't find a city to use the teleportation array to teleport the army. Had to come on foot. Ashford and Feng Yinpiaomiao have always said that this tactic of strengthening the wall and clearing the field is the best way to deal with them.

Masamoto Matsumoto led his troops across the Kanmon Strait and began to assemble on Kyushu Island. This area is not too far from where Isinger lay down. Masamoto Matsumoto and the others could see the huge Isinger from a distance. The main body stands there like a mountain. This real goal gave Masamoto Matsumoto greater confidence. Seeing Isinger stopped with his own eyes made Masamoto Matsumoto more convinced of the reliability of the intelligence. However, at this time, Masamoto Matsumoto still did not intend to attack with the entire army. , be cautious, be cautious, this is the experience Matsumoto Masako summed up from the battlefield, but he didn't know that this experience was deliberately instilled in him by Rose.

"The big fish has taken the bait." Masamoto Matsumoto congratulated him when he saw Isinger. At the same time, we standing on top of Isinger also saw the dark Japanese army.

"Who's interested in guessing how many troops we can drag in this time?"

Su Mei said: "Before guessing, I think we have already found Pu Yin, Feng Yin Piaomiao and Ashford. Although Essinger is from our guild, we are laying the foundation for everyone. In this key battle, they We have the obligation to send troops to assist in defense.”

Rose said: "It's not that I haven't thought about this problem, but I am worried about a problem."

"What's the problem?"

"I'm worried about whether the RB people can defeat our United Legion. If we ask for help from laymen, we must ask them all together. Asking only one of the forces will make people think that we are biased, which is not good for our image. Okay. If we invite them all together, with Essinger's defense capabilities, even if the power system is not activated, we can probably draw a tie with the RBs. Then my plan will be useless. It's better to have a decisive battle on the plains. , why bother with such a big deal? Besides, the structure of Essinger is too complicated. New members of our own guild often get lost in Essinger a week before they join. If so many people are invited to help, Wouldn't it be more troublesome for these people to get lost on their own?"

"That's true, then don't invite anyone. Unfortunately, our losses in such a battle may not be small. The players in the guild will probably lose a level collectively."

I said: "It's not a big problem to drop one level. We don't care about this level or two. In terms of equipment, everyone wears the unified equipment of the guild. Anyway, it can't be exploded. And I thought of a problem. It's the first time to use seven levels. We forgot a huge advantage and didn’t take advantage of it.”

Ah Wei said exaggeratedly: "What kind of bargain can leak out from between your teeth?"

I smiled and said: "We shouldn't have crushed all those Japanese people in the first place. The Seven Spirit Dust Bells can be controlled and retained anyway. We should have kept the armor of these enemies and just turned the people into ashes." , can I still take the equipment back and sell it!"

"Halo! You really know how to calculate!"
