Chapter 278: Show the Enemy Your Strength

"Have the Eldar lost the first step?" Elizabeth frowned in confusion, "The battle hasn't even started yet? Uh, do you mean that the Eldar were already at a strategic disadvantage before the battle? This is the first time I've heard that these Eldar have never been at a strategic disadvantage over the years, relying on their outstanding charlatans. It's interesting. Tell me, how did the Eldar lose the first step?"

"The Eldar tried to use a surveillance network covering the entire planet to monitor every movement at all times to prevent the invasion of chaos. Once chaos is in one place, Or gather in several places and invade this world, then the army of the Eldar will react quickly and give Chaos a head-on blow before it can react. Simply put, the Eldar want to play the trick of "attacking Chaos halfway across the river". They want to block Chaos at the door and beat him up when the battle just begins, killing the enemy to the greatest extent at the lowest cost. "Li explained: "In theory, this is a very good tactic. If the accurate predictions of the prophets and the precise command of the war officers are added, then the demons are likely to be like tigers that actively jump into a trap. Generally, even if it is a tiger, it will lose its threat after falling into the trap. But the reality is that these demons did not cooperate. I don’t know how these demons did it, but they did it. These demons escaped or interfered with the prophet’s prediction. The Eldar people could not predict the demon’s attack method. Chaos dispersed its military forces and scattered them into this world like dust. Every dust that fell was a seed of evil. Now, what is in front of the war commanders should be a courtyard with fire everywhere. "

"According to what you said, the war commanders have no time to take care of us now. They are already burnt out."

"Yes, in the short term, it seems that we can only rely on ourselves."

The fact is just as Li expected. The evil raised a piece of dust and scattered countless evil seeds into the world. Almost at the same time, all kinds of cultists and demons appeared on the entire planet. They were grotesque, ugly, and powerful. At this time, the Eldar war commander was like a busy firefighter, but this firefighter was facing a whole burning city.

"Although the Chaos Space Marines are a group of despicable traitors and minions of the Chaos Demons, their powerful combat power is unquestionable. If we attack head-on, we will probably suffer a lot," Elizabeth sighed and said, "What should we do? Should we hold on?"

"Don't worry, let me think about it." As he said this, Li stared at the map and fell into thought. The information he could get was limited, and now he had to analyze their current situation through this limited information and then make a judgment.

Elizabeth is good at spying and finding out the truth. Is there a group of cultists hidden under a peaceful city? Is there an unknown evil hidden in a peaceful town? Who is the traitor inside the seemingly righteous Inquisition? Through clues, looking for clues, and exploring evil, these are the jobs that Elizabeth has been doing over the years, and she has done a good job. However, when it comes to understanding the battlefield and grasping the overall situation of the war, she is completely useless. Even when Elizabeth was still a member of the Sisters, she was just a small soldier, and she had no idea about the command of the battle situation.

This aspect is exactly what Li is good at. Although he has not personally commanded many large-scale battles, he has never eaten pork, but he has never seen pigs run. Having participated in so many wars, and with countless war histories in his mind, and with this extremely keen battlefield sense, Li quickly discovered the unusual part on the battlefield, and then he connected to several nearby strongholds and took the initiative to exchange enemy intelligence. The result was just as Li expected.

After a while, Li snapped his fingers and ended his long thinking. The weak spiritual energy spread out with Li's movements. This was just a spiritual power diffusion for exploration, confirming that there were indeed no creatures around except Li and Elizabeth. Although the tower is very safe and there is almost no possibility of information leakage, you still have to be careful.

"Safe, then it's time to talk about the answer."

"It's just speculation," Li said, "If we just look at both sides normally, and don't regard them as incomprehensible, then we can make simple speculations about the practices and intentions of both sides and get the results. This premise was originally impossible. The prophet can predict the future, and the demons in the chaos are even more unpredictable creatures. But fortunately, now their collision has caused both sides to be on the same starting line. The predictions of the prophets seem to be not very effective, and in order to deal with the arrangements of the Eldar, the demons have also taken a step forward, so that both sides have become The object of understanding and analysis."

"Can you stop talking so much nonsense?"

"This is the premise. Without this premise, any logical reasoning and analysis is nonsense," Li said seriously: "Then let's continue. The Eldar have hidden their main force and turned the entire Eden into a sea of ​​hidden murderous intent, preparing to strike a head-on blow to the Chaos army as soon as it arrives. This arrangement has been discovered by the Chaos. I don't know how the Chaos Demons know it. Anyway, they have learned about the Eldar's arrangement and intentions, and have responded accordingly, so the demons have tested the Eldar. "

"Are you saying that today's large-scale invasion is just a test?"

"Yes, look at the scale of these invasions. The number of invaders in our area is only about 600, about the size of two battalions. I have just exchanged information with several surrounding strongholds , I learned that the situation on their side was similar. Several strongholds around us were invaded at about the same time, and the number of enemies was almost the same, ranging from one battalion to two battalions. Just imagine, what would happen if such a troop appeared next to the main force of the Spirit Clan? "

This was hardly a question, and Elizabeth responded quickly: "It will be wiped out quickly!"

"Yes, it is impossible for the army to place such a nail, or eye, beside itself. For the army, this is a dangerous thing. If you want to keep the murderous intention hidden under the sea, then The enemy must not be able to see clearly what is under the sea. The enemies near the army's position will be quickly wiped out. The two battalions of enemies are a big trouble for my stronghold, but for those who have been preparing for ten years and gathered together. For the Spirit Tribe army, such enemies are just stains that can be easily wiped away. "In this way, the Chaos Demon's intention is obvious. They use this method to test out the Spirit Tribe." The general position of the army, and to test the overall defense situation above Eden. In places with tight defenses, the advance team of Chaos Demons will be fiercely attacked and even wiped out. In areas with weak defenses, the Demons will gain certain advantage, or even completely occupy the area. As long as Chaos evaluates the advance team they sent later, it can roughly determine the size of the defense force on the planet, and can also draw an activity for the main force of the Eldar army. range. And the army of chaos followed."

"The analysis is good, it seems quite reasonable." Elizabeth nodded in agreement and said: "The only flaw is that there is no evidence to prove your inference, and it seems that even if you understand these big situations, for our current situation, It’s useless.”

"It's strange, Elizabeth, I remember you were a smart person, why are you so stupid?"

Elizabeth glared at Li but said nothing.

So Li smiled and continued: "Let's not talk about the evidence. We are on the battlefield, not detectives solving cases, so what evidence do we need? As for the use of understanding the overall situation, we must first clarify our purpose, our The purpose is to survive, not to fight for the benefit of the Spirit Tribe. Only after understanding the overall situation can we make judgments and help us avoid large-scale battlefields with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers. On the battlefield, no matter how powerful you and me are, we are just a wave in the sea. Not only can we not change the situation of the battle, but it is even more dangerous to ourselves, not to mention that our power cannot be fully exerted, so we It is best to avoid the war, and to achieve this goal, we must create an illusion. At least let Chaos mistakenly think that there is a strong Eldar army in the Oak Court area. When choosing a breakthrough, the Chaos army will not land. Click here.”

"You mean we need to take the initiative?"

"Yes, we must not only take the initiative to attack, but also completely wipe out the Chaos forces within our range. When the Chaos Legion makes a judgment, let them mistakenly think that the guard force here is stronger, so as to avoid this One area.”

"Avoid the truth and use the imaginary" is a basic rule common to military strategists. It is said that "the strongest point is the weakest point." This is martial arts, not a battlefield. On the front battlefield, you must stare at the enemy's most violent bombardment and continue to move forward. That's a bunch of idiots, not an army. Therefore, in Li's judgment, Chaos naturally has to follow this basic rule. In this case, Li's choice is to "show strength to the enemy", showing a strong appearance and making the enemy feel fear.

Of course, Chaos will not feel fear just because his two battalions were wiped out, but when making a judgment, he will somewhat overestimate the combat power of the Eldar people in the Oak Pavilion area.
