Chapter 2891

"Then we strike immediately!"

Jiang Yang laughed and said: "I agree with Mengting's approach!"

Jin Xin said: "You agree? Who do you think you are? Where is your Heavenly King Army? Hurry and pull two full brigades over to the southwestern battlefield."

Jiang Yang laughed and said:

"Your Highness Jin Xin, don't joke around. Our Heavenly King Army in the East and South Districts is holding down an entire werewolf regiment.

"We're tying them down through hit-and-run raids and constant ambushes.

"If it comes to a positional battle, we can only match half a werewolf regiment — that would be bad for both of us.

"We can only support everyone from the east and south, and once the decisive battle breaks out, we'll stab the werewolves right in their big backsides.

"Just treat us as a strike force, not a frontline combat army."

Red Headscarf Zhang Qiming asked: "Then having your Heavenly King Army send 1 squadron and 1 platoon — no problem, right?"

Jiang Yang laughed and said: "Of course no problem, we can send 2 squadrons."

Wang Xiao shook his head:

"Commander Lin's suggestion is good, but not practical.

"What you said is right — our combat power is high, and we can indeed wipe out large numbers of werewolves in a short time.

"But that proves we're a blade, not a shield.

"The correct method is to launch the attack from the southwest side of your battlefield.

"Once you draw some of the werewolves over, then it's our nobles' world.

"If we can seize even a slight advantage, we'll be like a fish in water — we'll wipe out the werewolves over there in no time, and then we can come support you.

"If we strike first… after we draw the werewolves over, can you finish them off quickly?

"Can you do it?

"You can't."

Wang Xiao's tone was somewhat arrogant.

There was an obvious sense of disdain, but everyone knew he was telling the truth.

The nobles' killing power is strong — they really are blades, the damage dealers of the entire team, and damage dealers really shouldn't strike first.

If the nobles strike first, they might catch the werewolves off guard, but the problem is the werewolves facing the nobles aren't weak either, and the nobles' losses will definitely be significant.

And the first batch to go in always suffers the heaviest casualties.

If the nobles take too many losses, the blade of the entire battlefield goes dull — and that's truly disadvantageous for the overall situation.

Pretty-boy Ying Zhi said with a smile:

"His Highness Wang Xiao makes a good point, but you've forgotten one thing.

"The southwest sector is Binghe County.

"The werewolves have somehow been maintaining the formation's energy in Binghe County this whole time — there's always a considerable surplus.

"If we attack from our side, that's a siege!

"Besieging the werewolves is no problem at all — our forces here can absolutely face the werewolves head-on, we even have the advantage.

"But if we assault Binghe County while the formation still has energy… the formation can trap us for at least 1 hour.

"You know what the result would be.

"Under those circumstances, we'd be throwing our lives away.

"The werewolves inside the city wouldn't be under any pressure at all, so they wouldn't move a single werewolf over — the enemy on your side still wouldn't decrease.

"And we… would have to face 2 werewolf regiments' encirclement for a full hour… casualties would definitely be heavy.

"By then… the southwest's advantage would turn into a disadvantage, and the werewolves might just break through.

"And on your side, there wouldn't be any new opportunity.

"How could we possibly do that?

"We absolutely cannot strike from the southwest first."

Fat-bald Wang Xiao fell silent.

The reasoning was very solid.

If the nobles strike first, the losses are indeed heavy.

But those losses come from fighting the werewolves — the inevitable attrition of tearing into each other.

But if it's a siege… that really would be like piling up bodies to build a human ladder.

Formations are very powerful.

If the World-Breaking Army alliance on the southwest takes the initiative to attack and gets locked down by the formation for 1 hour, anyone can imagine how much damage 2 werewolf regiments could deal out.

After 1 hour, the World-Breaking Army alliance's losses would probably be close to half.

And since the werewolves fight with numerical superiority, their losses would be very small.

Those losses would essentially be for nothing.

They really can't fight it that way.
