Now turn the perspective back to the frontier fortress on the eastern border of Robert Smith's empire.

Supplies were robbed. Such a big thing obviously cannot be hidden.

Not to mention that during this period, as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army, Liu Meng was certainly not idle.

Successfully robbing the supplies from the opposite side is a great opportunity. How can we not make good use of it?

In this way, various rumors suddenly spread on this border battlefield.

"The supplies were stolen by the enemy."

"There is not much food left in the fortress. If this continues, we will run out of food!"

Similar remarks quickly spread among the soldiers at the border fortress. In just a few days, a trend became more and more intense, making the entire fortress panic.

Many soldiers went straight to the granary that day, wanting to confirm with their own eyes the food reserves in the fortress.

But they found that all the soldiers on duty outside the granary had been replaced by the general's personal soldiers.

A group of soldiers stopped there, so naturally they couldn't confirm it at all.

However, this approach, to a certain extent, further aggravates the situation.

But the defender of the Eastern Fortress had no choice at all.

There is not much food reserves in their fortress, this is a fact.

Whether the soldiers went in and confirmed with their own eyes or failed to confirm with their own eyes, the negative impact caused in the end would basically not change at all.

Not to mention he now has to issue another order...

That is, starting from today, the daily food distribution for each soldier will be halved.

As soon as this order was issued, it immediately caused an uproar, making the tens of thousands of soldiers in the fortress even more restless.

However, as mentioned before, he had no choice.

The only thing that can be done is probably to comfort the soldiers as much as possible and emphasize loudly that this is just a small accident and the empire's supplies will be delivered soon.

But the soldiers were undoubtedly dubious about his statement.

As the party that cannot escape, what are you most afraid of? What you are most afraid of is internal problems!

Liu Meng's move was clearly a scheming move to shake their military morale!

Coupled with the onslaught of the Upper Eastern Army during the day, the uneasiness in their hearts, and the reduction of three daily meals, the condition of the Europa soldiers began to get a little worse.

After a defensive battle, the number of casualties began to increase significantly compared to before.

Within the fortress, the constant wailing of the wounded soldiers cast a lingering haze over the entire camp.

In comparison, the Eastern Legion pressing outside was extremely powerful.

In the following days, Liu Meng unceremoniously launched a series of fierce attacks.

The elephant-man giant artillerymen cooperated with the dwarf artillery troops to pour out their firepower crazily, constantly suppressing the remaining morale of the Europa defenders.

The number of casualties is increasing day by day, and the medical room is not enough, so tents can only be set up in the open space of the fortress to accommodate the wounded soldiers.

The medical soldiers in the fortress have been extremely busy these days, and medical supplies are constantly being consumed. However, the number of wounded soldiers has not decreased at all.

After maintaining this state for three days, finally, the first batch of wounded soldiers who died because they had no time to carry out rescue appeared in the border fortress.

In fact, this is not a rare thing. During the war, there were many wounded soldiers who were seriously injured and died because there was no time to rescue them, or because the rescue efforts were ineffective. To a certain extent, this is simply

This is the norm on the battlefield.

But now is a very sensitive and special period for this border fortress in the east, and any incident will be infinitely magnified!

Once the news spread, the atmosphere inside the fortress definitely became more restless.

The uneasiness and anxiety of the soldiers were written directly on their faces.

Faced with this situation, as the defender of this eastern border fortress, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

At the same time, he sent telegrams to the rear headquarters one after another. Even if it was one or two cars of supplies, he would send them over first so that he could use them to appease the morale of the troops.

The rear headquarters, which received the emergency telegram from the front line, knew that the situation on the border was not optimistic, so naturally it quickly sent a reply stating that a transport convoy would set off from the city closest to the eastern fortress immediately.

After confirming the news, the guard of the border fortress breathed a sigh of relief and quickly announced the news. At the same time, in order to increase his credibility, he also publicly ordered the strength of three regiments as support.

Troops, rush to respond.

This vow did not seem to be a lie. It can be said that it played a certain role and finally calmed the wavering military morale temporarily.

However, the guard of the border fortress knew clearly that the next step was the focus.

The previous batch of supplies was robbed, which means that the other party has set its sights on this area.

Although the amount of supplies sent in this batch is not large, only a few trucks, it is of great significance to their border fortress. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is life-saving supplies.

If possible, he would like to dispatch more troops to respond.

However, the enemy army is attacking every day. Coupled with the large number of military casualties during this period, the number of troops he can use has obviously begun to decrease. Considering the security and defense issues of the fortress, there is no way he can allocate them at the moment.

Too many troops were sent out, and the strength of the three regiments could basically be said to be the limit.

Just in case, the troops of these three regiments set off in advance to receive the supplies delivered.

They left very carefully, probably because they wanted to avoid the eyes and ears of the Eastern Army. However, who would have thought that the eyes and ears of the Eastern Army were in the sky! Obviously, all movements of this border fortress cannot escape the eyes and ears of those flying high in the sky.

Those two giant eagles!

At this moment, the two giant eagles exchanged a very human look. The next second, the eagles opened their beaks and actually spoke human words directly...

"I'll follow you and take a look. You can go back and report the situation."

"good."

After the simple exchange, the two giant eagles immediately took action separately.

A giant eagle directly followed the troops of the three regiments leaving the border fortress.

The other giant eagle quickly flew back to the camp of the Eastern Army and turned into a human form the moment it landed.

After quickly reporting the discovered information, inside the Chinese army's tent, a meaningful flash of light flashed across Liu Meng's face.

In this era, if you want to request support, you only need a telegram to complete it. However, the other party has suddenly sent a large number of soldiers to leave the camp. One can imagine what the purpose is!

"It seems that supplies are coming from the other side?"
