Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 152: Using the Tactics of Others to Encircle and Attack the Enemy (2)
After some discussion, mainly because Qiu Shui Chang Tian and the others were eager to replace the NPC Witch King, they were unwilling to delay for too long, fearing that it would affect their own development, and they insisted on ending this battle for the throne as soon as possible. After brainstorming, they formulated an action plan of "turning the tables, besieging the point and attacking the reinforcements". The troops were divided into two groups. They were openly attacking the third Witch King Beibeituo, but secretly took advantage of the opportunity when the other two Witch Kings sent troops to support them, and used the specific whereabouts of the first Witch King Titanic that they had mastered to concentrate elite troops to launch a surprise attack, attacking them by surprise, and fighting quickly, trying to kill them in one fell swoop, avoiding the large number of casualties caused by the frontal battle. As long as they were well prepared and coordinated with each other, there was a great chance to kill the first and third Witch Kings in one fell swoop and replace them. In this way, with three against one, the remaining second Witch King Benjamin would be alone and naturally could not struggle for a few days.
As the first joint operation of the four major forces of the "Resistance Alliance" in the "Dead Soul Space", the number of participants has expanded to 61. After a division of labor, Qiu Shui Changtian and most of the members of the "Witch Killing Union" were responsible for besieging the third witch king Beibeituo to attract the attention of the three witch kings, and I was naturally responsible for taking the opportunity to raid the powerful first witch king Titanic. This battle is of great importance. Any problem in any aspect may lead to a complete collapse and suffer heavy losses. Once I fail to sneak attack Titanic, I will be unexpectedly attacked or unable to quickly resolve the opponent and fall into a tangle of battles. Qiu Shui Changtian and his team may face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides; and if the "Witch Killing Union" cannot withstand the joint attack of the three witch kings and attract most of their attention, it will be difficult for me to get a good opportunity to sneak attack Titanic.
In order to coordinate the actions of the two armies, the fourth Bone Emperor Ghost Husband was assigned to my side so that he could keep in touch with Qiu Shui Changtian and others through the Corpse Crown. Cooperating with me in the battle were the undead wizards of the Star Moon Mercenary Group led by Qing Wu Fei Yang, Xin Bi Tian Gao, Yue Guang Guang... even Skynet and Red Lotus who were addicted to love were "recruited". In addition, there were Moonlight Box and Guo Po Shan He of the Tong Xin Meng, as well as Wang Duan Tian Ya, Chang Lu Man Man and others supported by Long Xing Tian Xia, and an army of nearly 100,000 Terror Knights to help me open a passage and break through the resistance of the First Witch King's Guards, so that I could directly attack Titanic with the elite Terror Bulls and Ground Dragon Knights.
Xiaobai and the fifty-three ghost kings kept a close eye on Titanic, not letting it out of the surveillance for a moment. The key to ensuring the success of this surprise attack was to accurately grasp its specific position while not being detected. Qiu Shui Changtian and his men were not as careless as they were the first time. They acted as if the opponent did not exist. Before the battle, they commanded the Devouring Ghosts to gather above the second wizard king Benjamin, indicating that they were about to launch an attack. Although they found the third wizard king Beibeituo, they did not take any special actions on the surface. They just transferred the ghost kings they controlled to the Titanic, silently monitored its movements, and quietly assembled troops to ensure the suddenness of the attack. Even if this was a trap set by the three wizard kings, we took the initiative and made them react a little slower, so that we could fight harder and make Titanic rush to rescue us, and I would have a greater chance.
The first to act were naturally Qiu Shui Chang Tian's team, who spread out their troops as much as possible and rushed into Beibeituo's territory in an overwhelming manner. They killed no one wherever they passed, and many Terror Knights even rushed all the way from Titanic's territory. A large number of corpse witches were slaughtered, and it could almost be described as a hundred miles of red land. We also sent a lot of people to cooperate with the action. According to Titanic's location and possible route of action, they pretended to attack Beibeituo's team and tried their best to eliminate the corpse witches along the way that might hinder our raid, so as to cover the whereabouts of the raiding troops and prevent them from being discovered by Titanic too early.
When Qiushui Changtian and his men officially started a fierce battle with Beibeituo's direct subordinates, the corpse witch corps of Titanic and Benjamin entered Beibeituo's territory from the left and right. Perhaps they had learned from the failure of the first encirclement, and this time the corpse witch corps' advancement speed was significantly faster. The two witch kings even approached the border to personally command the operation, first cutting off Qiushui Changtian and his men's retreat, and then outflanking from both wings. If Qiushui Changtian and his men wanted to retreat again, it would not be as easy as last time, and at least more than half of the Terror Knights would be lost. Beibeituo, who was responsible for the task of luring the enemy, retreated while fighting, and did not engage in a decisive battle with Qiushui Changtian and his men, trying to delay time as much as possible, obviously waiting for the other two witch kings to complete the encirclement, and then cooperate to launch a counterattack together.
Although we were surrounded by enemies like last time, we were well prepared. Qiushui Changtian and his men carried out the plan of luring the enemy in an orderly manner. They acted as if they were eager to kill Beibeituo. They chased him very urgently. At the same time, they took advantage of the strong mobility of the Terror Knights and rushed everywhere to attack instead of defend, destroying the enemy's encirclement plan. They tried their best to attract the attention of the three witch kings to this side. It should be able to hold out for a while. Now the key to success or failure depends on the operation of the raid on the first witch king Titanic that I am responsible for. If we fail, not only will I and Qingwu Feiyang and his men, but Qiushui Changtian's army will also be in danger of being wiped out.
Judging that the time was almost right, I also launched an attack. Qingwu Feiyang and other troops rushed out of the no-man's land that had been completely cleared in the corpse witch territory and killed them directly. This was definitely an attack that caught the enemy off guard. Most of the corpse witch army was transferred to participate in the rescue of Beibeituo. The troops responsible for guarding Titanic were relatively empty. Although they were also trying their best to resist, they could not form any scale. In the face of the rapid assault of the Terror Knights, they were quickly dispersed and defeated. The Terror Bull and Ground Dragon Knight Army led by me, under the protection of more than 10,000 low-level Terror Knights, risked their lives and never entangled with the corpse witches along the way. They went straight to Titanic, with the idea of capturing the thief and the king, and resolving the battle as soon as possible.
Titanic's reaction was not slow either. Once it detected something unusual, it quickly evacuated the border and retreated deep into its own territory. At the same time, the troops that participated in the attack on Qiu Shui Chang Tian were also called back to attack us in an attempt to relieve their own pressure. However, Xiao Bai and the others accurately reported its specific location. We suddenly rushed out at a relatively close distance. With multiple people in command, we were flexible and coordinated well, and did not leave it enough time to retreat. In addition, through the last battle with Graveson, I also accumulated a lot of experience in fighting against the army of corpse witches. I commanded the Terror Knights to pursue quickly. Before other rescue troops arrived, they had already caught up with Titanic's Guards Corps and were about to start a close battle with it.
