Chapter eight hundred and eighty second advancing, driving away

Just as the team was moving quietly, the roar of propellers from above their heads gradually stopped everyone. They raised their heads and the huge transport plane in the sky swooped over like a giant dragon. Many people were shocked. They had never seen such a terrible "creature". Someone shouted excitedly: "The monster is going to attack! Run!"

The already depressed morale was knocked down by such a strange cry. Just as the crowd began to stir, Viscount Boragorn pulled out the long sword at his waist and let his guards rush up: "Whoever spreads rumors will be cut directly!"

He personally cut over two soldiers trying to run around. Some of the knight guards riding war horses slashed with swords, and some poked with guns. It took several minutes to finally suppress the panic.

The defeated general was already depressed. At this time, he was frightened by the transport plane and his morale was on the verge of collapse. But Boragorn was not a fledgling rookie after all. He quickly dispersed the guards into various troops and loudly proclaimed that "this is the support of the dragon clan sent by the royal family", which reversed the decline in morale.

But in fact, Boragorn knew that this was not the dragon clan at all - but the other party had already flew away and seemed not to be in trouble for him, which made him feel a little relieved.

As a result, the team had just calmed down, but many pieces of paper began to fall from the sky. The marching soldiers picked it up curiously and found that there was a map on it. They recognized the appearance of the Bordeaux River at a glance. However, on the north bank of the Bordeaux River, there was a large number of Iversta infantry pictures holding swords and shields, and on the south bank, there were a noble army of abandoned armor and storms and fled in a hurry.

If this picture only draws the current situation of the battle, then the people who see it will not feel much. But what makes everyone feel sad is that they see that the city of Lajena, which should be their target of marching, and the city of Bekolis in the east... are also full of infantry from Everta!

"You are surrounded!"

This is the only word written on the picture. Among the retreating soldiers, many knights and nobles recognized the words. When they understood the text of this picture, they inevitably became anxious...

As the head of the country, Viscount Boragorn was cold all over at this time. He didn't believe what was said on the drawings at all. It was right for the enemy to pursue him from the rear. Could it be that he could still fly from his head to the rear to capture the way back? This is okay to deceive people without military knowledge, but it has no effect on him.

But what he was afraid of was the huge flying object. Although he didn't know what it was for, if Everta had such a thing and hovered back and forth over his head all day long... it felt like he was always staring at by someone, his troops would have no secrets!

Thinking of the small "falcon" I saw several times before, Boragorn suddenly felt a creepy feeling: Could it be that all the actions of his troops on his side had actually been under the surveillance of the other party?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and immediately ordered: "Take all the damn cards away! Now, if anyone brings this card privately and talks about the content, just draw ten sticks! Everyone speeds up! We must arrive at the city of Lajena tomorrow night!"

The entire army was not all his subordinates, so he could not convey such orders immediately, so he had to call the lords scattered everywhere to state the pros and cons - it took another hour before the team slowly began to move.

"As long as we can get to the city of Lajena, we will win! Don't be discouraged!"

He tried hard to boost morale, but looking at the earth covered by water vapor in the distance, a question arose in his heart: Could it be... Everta really captured there?

*******

May 15.

Lannis Town.

When Everta's troops arrived here, Boragon had already left with his own troops.

In fact, if you really want to go all out, the Iversta Infantry Division will catch up with this group of people on the 13th. However, as the commander, Soderol did not intend to force an attack when the two main forces of the other side were almost together. After all, in the war, "killing" was never an end, but a means.

If there are better means to make the enemy defeat earlier, Soderol naturally would not let Iversa's army deliberately take over and consume it. Iversa's soldiers are completely different from those knight entourages who originally relied on. Each professional soldier must pay attention to the reduction in the number of personnel training, equipment costs and transportation costs.

If Everta had an army of 100,000 like this, he would have been directly striking the country. But the fact now is that he had just over 10,000 soldiers put into the battlefield, and the subsequent reserves were on the way, so he had to minimize his losses before facing a decisive battle.

Faced with the enemy's main force of nearly 20,000 people, he naturally focused on "drive away".

The infantry division advances slowly and puts pressure on the other side in the rear. If there is no bridge in the Bordeaux River, this group of people will definitely jump over the wall and fight back to the death. However, when there is a way out, they will definitely choose to continue to retreat. After all, this is also a reflection of the "three circumferences and one". Anyway, Everta is in charge step by step and has sufficient logistics. No matter where the team is pressed, the trucks in the rear can transport enough food for a week in one day, while the opponent's deserters have begun to plunder the towns, and even have started to fight and conflict within.

When Loshak jumped out of the truck, the soldiers of the Engineering Company no longer had the nervous expressions they had when they were thrown into the battlefield a week ago.

"The whole team! Report the number!"

As the platoon leader, he continued to carry out the commander's orders. After the entire team was finished, he turned his head and looked around. Lannis Town was almost empty and could be called "a messy ground".

The army of more than 6,000 people passed through here, to some extent, was actually even more terrifying than locusts. The houses were looted, and because it had rained recently, they were trampled back and forth by tens of thousands of people. The road mixed with garbage, food residues, and human and animal manure is really terrible.

For this reason, the first order of the Iversta army was to let the engineering company plan the camp and then start the bridge repair.

Luoshak's eyes turned to the river beach hundreds of meters away, where the original wooden bridge had been broken, and the stone piers below should have been blown by spells, so it was obviously impossible to repair. In the distance of his vision, several smaller pontoon bridges or suspension bridges were also destroyed. However, he did not rush to investigate the situation, but began to arrange tasks with ease: "According to the standards of a camp of ten thousand people and the old rules, it can be done within two hours!"

Viscount Boragorn's camp is distributed randomly and disorderly. Those with tents sleeping tents, while those without tents find a place to make do with it. However, the military camp of Iversta has very strict regulations and various "excess facilities" that others find difficult to understand - canteens, toilets and bathhouses.

The cafeteria is not a place for soldiers to sit down and eat, but a special area for unified distribution of food. This is for unified management of food and preventing soldiers from losing their staff due to bad stomachs. The bathhouse and toilet are for preventing epidemics - don't underestimate these three things. In Viscount Boragorn's troops, more than one hundred people have been lost due to various diseases in these three days... Most of them are diarrhea, vomiting, and eventually losing strength or fever and coma caused by eating unhygienic things.

There are no doctors or magicians here. The fate of falling behind is mostly death by the roadside and being gnawed by wild dogs.

However, Everta's military camp tried hard to prevent these things from happening at the source. For this reason, the logistics department paid an unimaginable price for the Karen nobles - because they would never know that the carriages where the truck transported food were equipped with ice magic circles.
