After the meeting, a group of commanders and deputy commanders from various theaters returned to their respective posts under the protection of their personal guards.

Lu Chen also started to prepare for the battle and summoned a think tank to discuss the management and route of the 200,000 army concentrated in his hands. The food, drinking and fighting consumption of 200,000 people was a big problem. Basically, all the supplies in the backpack could be used up in 48 hours outside.

Therefore, if the 200,000 troops can operate continuously, they either bring the baggage troops or arrange a regular logistics and grain transportation plan.

Bringing baggage will seriously affect the speed of the army's advance, and arranging the army to transport grain may be cut off. No matter how you choose, you need to have a strict plan.

"President, once our other fortresses are shut down, the funds we invested before will not be able to return. Now the materials and funds in our inventory can at most support us in fighting for another 20 days. No matter how long we are, we can't even afford to cook for the official members..."

Ouyang Qingcheng came over. The guild had a lot of staff and had a series of disadvantages. The biggest problem was that the army would burn money wildly as soon as it moved. The daily battle consumption of the 450,000 army was almost 15,000 gold coins. If there were magic crystals, magic arrows, and magic bullets, it would be calculated additionally.

"Oh..." Lu Chen frowned, "Is the operations of our factories all over the place still normal?"

"Because the grain base is far from the border, 70% of the local players there are no interest in participating in the war. As soon as the 30,000 members of the Bahu Mercenary Group set out, we immediately recruited more than 5,000 temporary workers on the spot, so the grain base is still operating normally.

But Rongguang Factory, Jueming Factory, Lianghe Factory, and Xuefeng Factory are not even satisfied with the people. Some production departments that need to be kept confidential do not have enough manpower.

Many casual players who have not participated in the battle took advantage of the opportunity of high-end players to participate in the battle to go to major maps to swipe elite monsters, bosses, and experience crazy when there are fewer people. Since these people have not participated in the battle, they are not very interested in working in factories. For them, seizing the opportunity to go to maps that were once overcrowded is more important than other things."

What Ouyang Qingcheng is most worried about is this matter. The factory cannot do its best to produce. In this way, the guild's income will be far less than the consumption. It is still an optimistic estimate to be able to support 20 days.

The main reason was that the Wolf tribe started construction of 18 fortresses at the same time, and the contracting of various projects and the acquisition of various building materials all consumed all the millions of gold coins earned by Lu Chen's reselling. The result of such a big deal was that when the national war suddenly came, the Wolf tribe actually had less than 250,000 gold coins in military spending!

"It seems... I can only fight quickly..."

Lu Chen sighed secretly. In fact, this kind of fighting method of guarding the five channels consumes too much manpower and material resources. Long ago, Lu Chen wanted to let the millions of windless army retreat directly to the Bay Town and give up the entire No. 4 channel.

In this way, the enemy will learn that Channel 4 can directly reach the enemy's hinterland, and the attack on the other four channels will slow down a lot, and a large number of troops will be sent from Channel 4 to the hinterland of Linhai City. In that case, the enemy's grain transport route will be at least 400 miles long. Once the grain route is long, there will be more opportunities for various attacks.

The reason why Lu Chen did not do this was because he was worried that this decision would not be understood by ordinary players. They would think that the players in Mellon City did not do their best, which caused quarrels among all parties.

Moreover, this plan is not without danger. If the enemy really pours into Channel 4, there is no need for too many people. If there are four million people, you can directly surround the Bay Town and will definitely defeat the Bay Town within a week. At that time, they can drive straight in, and all the villages and towns along the way are not enough to resist so many enemy troops.

In that case, the wolf clan would have to fight against them in the field, and the consumption of field battles would be even heavier, and pensions alone could drag down the wolf clan.

In short, this is an adventurous style of play, a way of retreating to advance. The key to this style of play is the enemy's protection of the food channels and the cooperation between the commanders in Linhai City.

"If the defenders of Channel 4 and Channel 5 were withdrawn at the same time, Si Qingguo and the others retreated to the [River Beach Fortress]..." Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. The biggest problem with Channel 4 and Channel 5 is that there is no city.

When there is only one temporary camp, the enemy can use tired soldiers to continuously send 10,000 or 20,000 people to attack, and sooner or later they can break through the camp. This is the saying that long-term defense will lead to failure.

"Well... let's take a look..." Lu Chen thought about it and suppressed this idea. Now that the national war has just begun, if the defenders of the two passages are withdrawn for no reason, the enemy will immediately see through Lu Chen's idea and focus on protecting his own food channels.

Only when the Linhai City players cannot beat them and escape in a panic will they become complacent and neglect their defenses on the food road.

The next day, due to the inconvenience of night fighting, the two sides, who had been resting overnight, collided again outside the 100,000 mountains.

The army led by Rockefeller and Galder finally arrived at two cities at dawn. The 500,000 players drawn from the five channels had also entered Luo Rui City. Less than two hours after they moved in, the army of the Thunder Empire came to the city.

The 50,000 NPC army, plus the siege of millions of players, made the entire Luo Rui City players feel like they were facing a great enemy. The small acropolis itself has less than one million people, and now there are 1.5 million players. But among them, there are only one and two million people with good combat power, and there is not even a decent force in this city, which was defeated by the Liangshan Brotherhood very early.

Therefore, the arrival of the Wolf Clan reinforcements made the people of Luo Rui City regard the life-saving gods. However, because Lu Chen and others chose to give up the decision of Luo Te City, millions of players in Luo Te City also complained about the Wolf Clan.

In this case, the first place Lu Chen chose to send troops was Rotte City. Luo Rui City could still last for a while, and he had to do his best in Rotte City. So he led 200,000 elite troops from five passages to set off from Fort No. 2 and stationed at the end of a mountain range of 100,000 mountains.

After going down the mountain, you will walk north twenty miles to Rot City. In this case, Rot City and Lu Chen's army can echo each other. This is also a small skill that Lu Chen has studied in ancient wars these days.

That is, when defending the city, there is also a camp outside the city, and the city and camp echo each other. When the enemy attacks the city, the camp attacks the enemy's rear. When the enemy attacks the camp, the same does in the city.

In this case, the enemy will be timid in whether they are sieging the city or attacking the counterfeit village. Players and soldiers at the bottom will often become panic and confused because they mistakenly believe that they are being attacked from front and back.
