1216 Build a Fortress Firs (2/2)
…
On the spectator stand, the audiences looked at the mobilization of troops on both sides all started to get nervous.
This was really a large-scale battle between armies. The only difference between this and the Dimensional War was that the number of participants wasn't as much. That's all. Now that both sides had started to move, this instantly attracted everyone's attention.
”They're moving. It looks like they are planning to deploy all of their forces to the front line first.”
”That's right, it's pointless to only defend. In a war, attacking is the correct way to do it!”
”Yup, the show will get interesting once both sides meet!”
Hong Xingyu looked at Hong Dali's troop deployment, touched his beard, and softly said, ”Dali seems to be intending to fight for that resurrection point in the center that's not occupied yet? But the number of his troops isn't as much as the other side, he will probably be at a disadvantage.”
”Yup, it seems that he only sent half of his troops there. The other half stopped at the front line.” Hua Yueling was puzzled and asked, ”What's he planning to do?”
Now, the troops of both parties were at the front line. For Hong Dali's side, about 3,000 people moved out towards the small mountain while Miner and the blacksmiths ran towards the nearest mine, bringing two divisions of people with them.
Everyone was clueless as to what this weird arrangement was about. Quite a number of them felt strange and said, ”What's Hong Dali doing? Sending two divisions into the mine? Don't tell me he's planning to gather ores to craft weapons at this moment, right?”
”Hard to say. Hong Dali's actions have always been surprising and unexpected. Just watch on, this battle will definitely be very interesting.”
Very quickly, the 3,000 people that Hong Dali sent had arrived at the resurrection point on the small mountain and met the 5,000 people that Silver Frost was leading. This time, Silver Frost brought all of his troops here, it was obvious that he was very firm in fighting for this resurrection point.
The battle started once they met.
For a battle of this scale, a person's individual power was indeed not enough to become a deciding factor anymore. It was common for one person to kill another person, then to get killed himself. Therefore, the number of casualties on both sides started to increase rapidly.
”Almost 300 people died from Hong Dali's side!”
”Only 240 plus people died from Silver Frost's side. Silver Frost has a huge advantage in this battle!”
”Isn't that so. If this carries on, Hong Dali's 3,000 people can at most kill 2,000 people before all of them are wiped out, right? If they are unlucky, they may only be able to kill about 1,500 people!”
The audiences looked at the reinforcement points for both sides on the counter, their hearts fluttered.
The total number of troops on both sides were the same, 100,000 each. It might not be much in the short term, but there would be a lot of such battles. If one side lost a few thousand people every time, tens of thousands of troops would be lost after 10 plus battles. Especially that many spots and terrains, they were crucial spots that needed to be fought for. If the troops were keep being depleted like this, once the reinforcement point reached zero, the war would be over.
”This doesn't look good.” Hong Xingyu frowned and looked at the battlefield, then said, ”The number advantage on Silver Frost's side is too big. 5,000 versus 3,000. Especially since Silver Frost is leading the army himself, the morale boost plus the number advantage is too much pressure for Dali's side.”
It was no wonder he was so worried. The Human Faction had their leader leading them, this would boost the troops' morale greatly. On top of the numbers advantage, Hong Dali's 3,000 troops were only left with 2,000 plus very quickly, and they probably wouldn't last very long too.
”Dali, quickly think of something.” At the back, Tang Muxin looked at this and anxiously said, ”They aren't able to withstand for too long!” The other people who stayed behind with Hong Dali were all very anxious too, all wishing they could join in the fight too.
”Oh, I know, I know. Look at how anxious you are.” Hong Dali sniffed and nonchalantly said, ”They can revive, right? Those who are revived immediately go reinforce them! Go immediately after reviving, don't hesitate!”
He was the leader of the army now. Since he asked them to continue to reinforce the troops in the battle, then it naturally wouldn't be wrong to do so. Therefore, those who died instantly charged up the mountain and went into the battle again after they revived. By now, only less than 500 people remained from the original 3,000.
The only good news now was that these 500 people kept pestering the enemy, causing them to be unable to occupy the resurrection point officially—the resurrection point could only be put into use by one side if there weren't any enemy troops in the area.
”Brothers, charge! We mustn't let them occupy the resurrection point!”
Those who revived yelled and charged into the battle, starting a new round of battle!
”It won't be useful if this carries on.” On the spectator stand, everyone was getting anxious. ”Hong Dali is sending people to die. If he keeps reinforcing the battle like this, he will deplete his reinforcement points very quickly!”
”Isn't that so. He has already depleted almost 10,000 reinforcement points in just a few hours. Silver Frost's side has only depleted 4,000 plus points. The difference is too great!”
