Hearing Edwin Lucas's question, Ye Li said: "There is no other way. If we don't use these Soul Gathering Cannons now, then I don't think we will need them in the future, so we can only move them out and use them.
We have not suffered any casualties so far. This elite force has perfectly completed my battle plan. After annihilating about 1,800 enemies, they broke through the encirclement and arrived here."
Ye Li did not hide anything and reported his previous battle records truthfully.
His words made everyone present feel incredible. People from other major forces were shocked that the Farant Empire actually mastered the Soul Gathering Cannon, and were also shocked at the record that Ye Li had just mentioned.
"You... are you kidding me? You annihilated 1,800 enemy troops and then rushed here. How could you have such a high record?"
Edwin Lucas asked with his eyes wide open, while Wellington, Raycent and Fox beside him all looked shocked.
Ye Li hesitated for a moment, then reported in detail his and his companions' battle plan, as well as the previous battle situation. After learning about their tactics, everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Li.
As the tactical planner and temporary commander of the artillery regiment, Ye Li's abilities were beyond Edwin Lucas's expectations. Even he was confused at the moment. What kind of extraordinary abilities did this young man he had found have
“Ye Li, your previous victories were truly glorious, but now you are trapped here just like us, and it may not be easy to get out later.
Although your temporarily formed artillery regiment is powerful, it has too few people after all. Together with the remnants of our army, there are less than 5,000 people in total, which is still half the number of the enemy.
Besides, the other party should be on guard against you now, so it may not be so easy for you to launch guerrilla warfare and plot against them."
Edwin Lucas spoke, the look on his face turning from shock to worry.
Ye Li said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the reason we came here is to find you, as long as we find you, that's all.
Although they are on guard against us, they have absolutely no countermeasures in the short term, and their weakness is that they try to catch us all in one fell swoop, which actually gives us an opportunity. "
Hearing what Ye Li said, Edwin Lucas' heart moved, and he said: "Master Ye, do you already have a plan
By the way, this is not the place to talk either, hurry up and follow us inside, our main force is over there."
Afterwards, Edwin Lucas took Ye Li and the artillery regiment and walked towards the depths of the forest.
Soon, Ye Li arrived at the place where the coalition forces were hiding, which was in the belly of a small hill.
This place is already very close to the sea. Once we go forward, we will enter the sea.
Ye Li saw that the soldiers of the coalition forces were constantly cutting down trees, and seemed to be casting simple wooden boats. It seemed that they had no choice but to go to sea to try their luck.
Seeing Ye Li's gaze, Edwin Lucas said, "We know that we can't break out of the front battlefield. We have tried to gather and charge before. Although the enemy's net-pulling troops are small in number, their tactics are clever. When we charge them, they will not fight hard at all. They will only report our position while retreating tactically.
After all, we are numerous and move relatively slowly, so we cannot break through the encirclement quickly.
Once we delay for too long, the enemy's other armies will converge and attack us from the side. Under the bombardment of the spirit gathering cannon, we will have little resistance and can only passively take the beating.
After all, although the attack range of the Soul Gathering Cannon is similar to that of our long-range spells, their attack speed is much faster. Over time, the gap will become apparent.
After losing a lot of manpower, we were forced to hide, and from time to time we sent some people out to roam around, pretending to be guerrilla warfare against the enemy, creating the illusion of waiting for an opportunity to break out.
In this way, the enemy's encirclement would not dare to close at will, but could only shrink slowly, giving us time to prepare here.
We had no choice but to go to the sea to escape. Although there are many monsters in the sea here, and there may be countless casualties once a battle breaks out, the hope of escaping is much greater than breaking through. "
Hearing Edwin Lucas' explanation, Ye Li nodded involuntarily. He knew that this was a helpless choice under duress. At this moment, the allied soldiers also saw the artillery regiment. The soul gathering cannons they carried were too eye-catching.
Everyone didn't know whether these soul-gathering cannons were made by the Farant Empire itself, or whether they had managed to seize them from the Jinde Empire, so they couldn't help but whisper and speculate.
In fact, even the people of the Farant Empire themselves were unaware of the news about the Soul Gathering Cannon, so even they looked surprised and doubtful.
Ignoring everyone, Edwin Lucas said, "Master Ye, what exactly is the method of breaking out that you just mentioned? Why don't you tell us and see if it is feasible?"
Ye Li nodded and said, "The Jinde Empire coalition forces actually only have about 10,000 people. Now that we have wiped out 1,800 of them, there are only about 9,000 left, which is not a lot.
The method I mentioned for breaking out is actually very simple, which is to wear down their manpower. Once they are reduced to about 5,000 people, they will naturally not be able to continue to encircle them, and we can charge out head-on with open arms."
Hearing Ye Li's words, Edwin Lucas couldn't help but frowned and said, "You said this method is equivalent to not saying it at all. If we can kill a large number of them, why would we wait here to escape into the sea?"
Ye Li smiled and said, "You couldn't do it in the past because we didn't have the artillery regiment, but now it's different. With the existence of our additional troops, you may not be able to kill a large number of them.
I have said before that their weakness is that after they form an encirclement, their manpower is too dispersed. This is our opportunity.
If we were to face an enemy force of 9,000 men at once, even if we were all elite troops and had the help of the Spirit Gathering Cannon, it would basically be a drop in the bucket and would not have much impact on the battle situation.
But unfortunately, the other side did not gather together with 9,000 people, but were dispersed in a network, so we had a chance.
Haven't you been trying to lure the enemy by pretending to break out? Then just continue the process of pretending to break out, but we will also participate in it."
