Chapter 475 You are really smart
Zhou Xu's words were somewhat helpless at this moment, but this was also a reality that had to be faced.
Although two armies are at war, as the commander-in-chief, he needs to take a long-term view, but right now there are more than just 'two armies' involved in this battlefield.
This also makes the variables on this battlefield more complicated.
Based on the limited circumstances, you can roughly understand the current situation, but if you think further, under the influence of so many forces, each force will add instability to this battlefield, and you will definitely not understand it.
Therefore, the best way at this moment is to make all possible preparations and then act accordingly.
Just as Zhou Xu and Li Ce were discussing this, one of Li Ce's personal soldiers quickly ran over to report.
"Your Majesty, the leader of the Centaur tribe, Diak, wants to see you."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu turned around and saw Diak waiting not far away.
The two sides looked at each other, and after a simple nod, Zhou Xu said to the soldier...
"Let him come."
"yes!"
With permission, Diak quickly came in front of Zhou Xu.
"Diak, meet the king!"
As he spoke, Diak placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly, which was considered a greeting.
Unlike the first time he met Zhou Xu, when he was frightened by Qiansui who acted as a cushion, Diak's performance this time was undoubtedly much more relaxed.
"No need to be polite."
As he spoke, Zhou Xu rode over and patted Diak on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry about your situation."
In response, Diak just shook his head. After this period of time, he had already figured out this matter, or rather, they already understood it.
"As long as the Lizardmen are still around, this will happen sooner or later. It just happened earlier now."
Diak waved his hand, indicating that he was not here to dwell on this issue.
"I came here to ask about your future plans, and whether the promise you made to me before is still valid?"
Diak's meaning was very clear, he just wanted to know whether this war should continue.
After all, they are all now concentrated at the edge of the world. They can wait for an energy channel and then move to the other side to survive.
Zhou Xu shook his head after hearing this meaning.
"The two fragments of the world are getting closer and closer. It's only a matter of time before they are put together. If the Lizardmen are not eliminated, their threat will never disappear."
After listening to Zhou Xu's words, Diak nodded. For now, he completely agreed with Zhou Xu's idea.
Afterwards, Zhou Xu told Diack the results of his discussion and analysis with Li Ce.
"So what does Patriarch Diak think? Is he willing to let this end?"
“I’m not willing to accept this!”
Diak's answer was unusually straightforward.
Are you kidding me? Since the battle broke out, they have sacrificed so many people, even the old chieftain died, how could he be willing to accept this? !
At this point, their Great Zhou and the Centaurs have reached a new consensus.
Zhou Xu also took the opportunity to turn the topic to the next question.
"Patriarch Diak, rest assured about my promise. I will never go back on my word. I have already marked out the land for you. If necessary, you can let some of your people go there first when the energy channel opens next time."
"Thank you very much."
Zhou Xu's promise again made Diak feel greatly relieved.
Although Zhou Xu had always given him a good impression in their previous contacts, Diak could not guarantee that the other party would not change his mind if the situation changed.
Now it seems that he was narrow-minded.
After the camp was rebuilt, Zhou Xu summoned all the generals on the front line to discuss the next tactical arrangements.
"If possible, I would certainly like to let the other side take the initiative to attack. Without the Pterosaur Riders as a reconnaissance unit, we can deploy more troops on the plains and establish some home-field advantages."
"Judging from the Lizardmen's previous actions, my guess is that the enemy's reinforcements are most likely on their way, or even arriving soon. Moving the battlefield to the plains can help us avoid our environmental disadvantages to a large extent."
"But on the other hand, after losing the pterosaur riders, the lizardmen will probably become more cautious. We are afraid that they will have the same idea as us and want to move the battlefield to the rain forest to fight a defensive battle. This will be very disadvantageous for us."
Although they have begun to train mountain soldiers in large numbers considering the rainforest environment, this does not mean that the next battle will be easy for them.
The more training you receive in mountain warfare, the more you will understand how great the advantage is for the defender when fighting in such a complex environment.
In addition, what is more important is that once the battlefield moves into the rainforest, people like the Centaurs and Elf Knights can basically only stay on the periphery to provide support, which puts them under greater pressure.
Thinking of this, all the generals present were frowning.
Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Wang Pengfei, Zhou Xu's close follower, was speechless as he stood aside.
His instinctive impulse made him want to say something, but when he thought that this was not on the Internet, he couldn't help but feel timid.
During this time, Zhou Xu noticed him. Seeing Wang Pengfei looking like he couldn't hold back his fart, he said something casually.
"If you have an idea, just say it."
After getting Zhou Xu's permission, Wang Pengfei suddenly felt more confident and bravely expressed his thoughts.
"Why don't we just set a fire over there?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became a little subtle.
Wang Pengfei, who was observing everyone's reactions throughout the whole process, could keenly see that these people were definitely not surprised by his genius idea, because apart from Silk and Diack who were angry, Li Ce and others had expressions of speechlessness on their faces, and Zhou Xu, who was standing aside, looked at him with a kind of "care" in his eyes.
As if to say, 'You are really smart.'
In this state, Li Ce couldn't help but speak out...
"The climate here is humid, especially near the rainforest area, so it is difficult to carry out arson."
“You can use oil.”
Wang Pengfei couldn't help but retort. Li Ce was about to say something but was interrupted by Zhou Xu.
Then Zhou Xu's voice sounded slowly...
"It doesn't mean that water will become flammable if it gets a little oil on it. It also depends on the concentration and ratio. The oil we have now is not the high-concentration gasoline from the original world. Even if I use oil-soaked linen to wrap arrows and shoot fire arrows at the rain forest, the flames that are lit can probably be extinguished by a strong wind. Things are not as simple as you think."
Having said that, Zhou Xu couldn't help but glance at Wang Pengfei again.
At this moment, Wang Pengfei's entire face was almost turning purple.
It was not only because his method was refuted by Zhou Xu, but also because it was refuted by a primitive man.
But Zhou Xu didn't think it was a big deal. Modern people, who have a lot of convenient props, always take things for granted and think of them as too simple. This is a common problem for them.
"Apart from this issue, the rainforest is also an important natural resource. If it is really burned, it will take who knows how many years to recover. Even if we win the war, how can we make up for the losses caused by the war with a scorched earth?"
The update is here, and I would like to thank my book friend 'Yiyun Shisan' for the reward!
