The Boots region is named after the long boots that resemble those worn by knights.
The army that recaptured the plains of Wansheng State was divided into three parts: east, west and central.
The Western Fifth Army where Yang Yu and his colleagues were located was located in the boot shaft part of the long boots area. The width at both ends was relatively consistent, but there were some disobedient hills on the edge of the area that protruded forward and penetrated into the plain, turning the boot shaft part of the long boots area into a ∑I shape.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can also see that someone has put a triangular patch on the boot.
The recapture troops attacking from the east were naturally at the tip of the boot.
The recapture force in the middle is located at the ankle.
The fortifications built by the Rose Empire were built from the toes of the shoes and the openings of the boots, moving towards the central ankle area.
Even though the city wall had not yet been actually erected, the Central Plains Recapture Army had already seen a lot of stones piled up on the other side of the river.
If the Central Recapture Army marches dozens of kilometers east and west, they can see the towering walls built by the Rose Empire from afar.
In the past, the retaking army would retake the plains and then take stones from these walls to reinforce the recaptured cities, waiting for the Wansheng Kingdom’s attack in spring and summer.
This time should be no exception.
"Let's go and take back the plains that belong to us."
Under the leadership of the national defender General Ajiket, the central recapture army stepped onto the solid river surface and walked towards the other side, the land that originally belonged to them.
While other troops were waiting for the river to be frozen by the heavy snow, Yang Yu's Fifth Western Army did not stop.
"We need people to climb the city walls and repel the soldiers defending the city."
"I come!"
Whenever the Luhua Army wanted to find manpower to attack the city, Yang Yu would always raise his hand nonchalantly, be the first to jump out, and be willing to take on this important task.
Seeing Yang Yu so enthusiastic, Lu Huajun always had an expression of "Why is it always you?"
But in the end, Yang Yu's troops were used to attack the city.
The cold winter with heavy snow brutally revealed the physical differences between humans and orcs.
Just when the soldiers of the Rose Empire were worrying about how to avoid freezing, under the cover of Yang Yu and his troops, the orcs moved at full speed, like a surprise attack from heaven, braving the heavy snow to attack one city after another.
In this way, during the three days of snow, the First Unit of the Western Fifth Army captured five cities in the Long Boots area.
Yang Yu's unique hairstyle and outstanding performance were engraved in Lu Huajun's eyes again and again, refreshing his understanding of Yang Yu.
It was not just the Luhua Army. Even some soldiers who had never seen Yang Yu in person knew about this figure in the army through hearsay from others.
It was not easy for Yang Yu to achieve this. He is also a human being and occasionally gets frostbite because he does not put on more clothes in time after the battle.
Fortunately, as an old hand at RPG, when I have money in my pocket, I naturally prepare more medicine in case of emergency.
Looking at the three-digit prices of frostbite medicine, burn medicine, anesthetics and other medicines, Yang Yu felt extremely relieved.
As long as you don't use large amounts of drugs within a certain period of time, you don't have to worry too much about developing drug resistance due to excessive use of drugs.
Yang Yu drank the medicine without any psychological burden and recovered from the frostbite.
In fact, due to absorbing the racial essence of the Silver Fang Clan, Yang Yu's ability to resist cold has also increased significantly, so it is okay for him to wear thin clothes in ordinary winter.
But the winter in the Cerro Vomon Plain is much colder than one might imagine.
Bai Jin, who is also a human, has a deep understanding of this. She received thick warm clothes from Yang Yu, but when she put them on, it was as if she was wearing nothing.
With every step she took, sinking into the packed snow, she could feel the ice penetrating everything and freezing her bones.
Fortunately, Bai Jin remembered that when she was in the Library of All Things, she had heard that high-level magicians would spread magic power throughout their bodies to reduce the impact of the environment on themselves so that they could use their proudest magic in any situation.
So when Bai Jin was resting, she quietly spent some time flipping through her notes. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. After a long period of basic accumulation, she found the key point of covering the whole body with magic power, which alleviated the feeling of coldness in her body.
However, in order to maintain body temperature, it consumes some mana, and she also has to fight hard, so Bai Jin has to drink a bottle of blue medicine every two days.
Yang Yu was so scared that he quickly gave Bai Jin more endurance.
As for Iyas and He Meng
The power of holy light on Iyas is beyond imagination. She won't feel cold just by putting on some clothes.
As for He Meng, this time he chose to hide in the mane around Lotkar's neck to prevent himself from being frozen too hard and unable to move.
Iyas and Bai Jin are ranged soldiers, so it doesn't matter if they wear more clothes. Apart from their reduced mobility, it does not affect their output. The only thing that will be affected is the skill hit rate.
This can be seen in every battle to retake the city.
One of the reasons was certainly that the heavy snow affected the vision, but more importantly, it was because thick clothes were too inconvenient.
Looking at the orc soldiers who were still wearing thin clothes or even shirtless, Yang Yu personally experienced the influence of seasonal factors on the battle situation.
Only in winter can Wansheng Kingdom gain such an overwhelming advantage.
Unfortunately, this overwhelming advantage did not help the orcs completely recapture the Cerrovomen Plain.
This time, the Wansheng Kingdom invested a large number of troops in the Cerrovomen Plain, but the Rose Empire would not sit idly by and wait for the plain to be recaptured.
In the worst case scenario, the Rose Empire will leave itself a way out like the Wansheng Kingdom to facilitate Chunxia's counterattack.
Ending this war is not as easy as imagined.
It is even more unrealistic to rely on one person's heroic fighting to overturn this war.
During the recapture battles of the past few days, Yang Yu increasingly discovered that the human soldiers were well-trained.
That is not something that can be achieved overnight.
The gap between most humans is not as high as that between sub-humans.
They don't have any innate skills, nor do they have any unique appearance.
This means that these ordinary humans can wear uniform clothing, undergo large-scale unified training, and turn themselves into standard screws.
If there is a gap in the defense, the human army can find someone with similar training to fill it.
This is an extremely terrifying thing.
In large-scale combat, as long as officers can make reasonable use of every tactic and every soldier, they can achieve an effect of 1+1 far greater than 2.
What is even more terrifying is that as long as a certain tactic of a certain unit becomes feasible, all human armies can perfectly copy it, forming an absolute crushing force in a short period of time and catching the enemy off guard.
The Rose soldiers retreated in such an orderly manner. Yang Yu knew very well that the Rose Empire’s army had strict discipline.
The more this happened, the more Yang Yu realized the seriousness of the problem.
The Wansheng Kingdom suffered a huge loss by exchanging the captured soldiers of the Rose Empire for an equal number of sub-human prisoners.
Yang Yu also investigated and found that in the early stages of the war, Wansheng Kingdom was able to fight the Rose Empire on equal terms, otherwise, the war would not have lasted until now.
It was just that the Rose Empire was able to quietly grasp one detail after another, seize one mistake after another by the Wansheng Kingdom, make steady decisions, and continuously expand its own advantages.
