Even though it was a step too late, Lieutenant General Swice's premonitions and inferences were correct. The Sibia Expeditionary Force did not include Cohen. To be precise, Cohen only led the first regiment of the expeditionary force. And Swish was leading the expeditionary force.
Lieutenant General Sri Lanka was defeated by the fully-manned Second Corps of the Expeditionary Force - not because Si Biafei scored twice and committed troops, nor because His Majesty Cohen's head was caught in the door and deliberately acted cool, but because Si Bi was deliberately trying to be cool.
The number of sub-oceanic fleets is not enough, and even if they are exhausted, they can only deliver one legion at a time.
Therefore, the Second Legion of the Expeditionary Force had no choice but to take those old ships that were older than most of the officers, and were transported in batches to the offshore islands on the Camp front line to lurk. When the Demon Alliance Special Legion that carried out the anti-landing mission arrived,
Turning around, under the guidance of the intelligence system, the broken old ship of the Second Legion entered the canal waters like a thief. Along the way, it continued to receive ships from the Demon Alliance. After almost destroying the opponent's entire logistics, Yu Erina
The empire caught up with the combat troops of the Allied Special Legion.
At that time, the ship carrying the Allied Special Legion was docked on the shore, and the entire legion was undergoing a major change of equipment - because it had to perform different tasks in different areas, armor, weapons, mounts, carriages, etc. had to be replaced.
When the special legion had almost no combat effectiveness, the second legion of the Sbia Expeditionary Force, which had been dressed in disguise and tiptoeing a few days ago, showed up blatantly.
More than eighty ships of various types each towed large rafts, formed a single column, and rode the wind and waves to crash into the demonic coalition forces!
Of course, the demon ships next to the military station were in chaos, but before they could even raise anchor and sail, the trebuchets on the other side's raft began to express their unique and arbitrary hot opinions, and the fellow water tribe members also did some unscrupulous things under the waves.
Then, in the row of demon ships on the shore, some were burning happily and spinning in circles, some were raising their bows and sailing wildly, some were reserved, letting the water flow over the deck, and some were tilting this way and that.
In the past, there were some who were drunk...the legion generals who swam ashore in a hurry were like ants on a hot pot.
But there were no long-range weapons on their ships, and they had no choice but to stamp their feet. They could only watch the "god-damn Spians" wreak havoc. By the time Thousand Sails had passed, this section of the river bank was already filled with thick smoke and billowing heat.
, like an iron-smelting furnace... But this is not the end. What makes this elite army most breathless and sick is the ironic ending that follows.
Just as the Sibian ships passed by, urgent orders from the Allied Forces Operations Department followed one after another.
"We must guard the Airi River water system to ensure that Lanling Lake does not fall into the enemy's hands... to ensure that Lanling Lake does not fall into the enemy's hands..."
Looking at the blazing fleet on the river and the soldiers still struggling in the water, the commander of the special regiment jumped off the ship without saying a word. He cried and laughed when he was picked up by various hands. He was already
Completely crazy.
It's no wonder that the commander is so stubborn. At present, more than half of the transport fleet has been burned and a smaller half has been scuttled. You can count the ones that can float on the water with five fingers on one hand. What else can he use to guard it?
Living in the Airi River system? How can we guarantee that Lanling Lake will not fall into enemy hands? Rather than being insulted after the war, it is better to die cleanly now!
Soon, the Second Army crossed the center of the Lanling Lake Canal and moved closer to the First Army as quickly as possible. When news of the setback of the Demon Alliance Special Army reached the Operations Department, Duke Swice Hepburn's command ship
He has arrived near Spanner Lake, and the enemy he faces has also reached the other side of Spanner Lake, and it is the expeditionary force that has completed its rendezvous and has complete combat strength!
With the information in hand, Duke Swice walked alone on the deck of the bow, sometimes looking at the river below, sometimes looking at the sunset on the horizon, his face as usual. Since he learned that the focus of Cohen's strategic arrangements is actually to target himself.
After becoming the commander of the coalition forces, the Duke calmed down completely. The mature and steady Lieutenant General Gironde saw this change in the Duke and was very happy in his heart. The more critical the situation, the more the coalition forces need such a commander.
Duke Swice has completely delegated the detailed command of the war to the corps level. He is only thinking about one question, how to seize Cohen's sore spot - the Sbia Expeditionary Force goes deep alone. It would be a lie to say that there are no weaknesses.
Yes, it's just that Cohen hid his intentions very deeply, so on the surface, the outline of this expeditionary force is unclear, and it is even more difficult to find its key weaknesses.
Therefore, the military arrangements of the coalition forces so far are limited to the level of adversity, and the war department does not have more analysis to support a large campaign arrangement. Fortunately, both armies are close to Spanner Lake, and the intelligence will be more available.
Hurry up. In the past few days, there have been small-scale direct battles, with both sides winning and losing.
"Your Excellency, Minister of Operations." Lieutenant General Gironde came over, "The latest information, the size of the Sbia Expeditionary Force has been found out."
"Please read it for me." Duke Swice did not turn around, but lowered his head to sort out the things in his hands.
"Based on the number of ships on the river, the total number of the Sbia Expeditionary Force should be between 60,000 and 80,000, and they also carry a large amount of combat supplies with the ships, including horses, attack equipment, etc..." Lieutenant General Gironde
After a pause, he continued reading, "Its command structure is not large, and it uses two legion-level units, namely the first legion and the second legion..."
"Lieutenant General." After hearing this information, Duke Swice said softly: "I have been thinking about a problem these days."
"What question is confusing you, Your Excellency?"
"Tell me, did Cohen Keda deliberately let us know the information we obtained?"
"Did Sibia deliberately leak it?"
"From the very beginning of the battle, Cohen Keda wanted to lead us astray. How could he lead us astray? Of course it was intelligence." Duke Swice explained: "He knew that I was from the Intelligence Department and was good at intelligence collection and further analysis.
So, he wanted to make me go into a dead end in terms of intelligence... We were completely passive before because we were confused by him."
"Of course it is possible, so what is your response?"
"The expeditionary force of sixty to eighty thousand people pretended to attack Foxborough." Duke Swice turned around and smiled at Lieutenant General Gironde, "Okay, I decided to let them go.
Attack Foxborough."
"Let them attack Foxborough?" Lieutenant General Gironde was slightly surprised, "Is it appropriate?"
"They can't defeat them! Expeditionary Force? This name was also chosen to confuse us, right?" Duke Swiss smiled even more, "Please think about why the Sbia people have been staying in the canal.
superior?"
"You can come and go freely on the canal." Lieutenant General Gironde said: "The Sibia people have a way to break the obstacles, and it is more convenient to use the canal."
"It's convenient, but can the Sbia people finish this war if they stay on the canal?" Duke Swiss shook his head, "No, the characteristic of the Sbia people is that they are on land. They can only go up.
Only when you are on land can you use your full capabilities!"
"So... they are staying on the canal to confuse the audience?" Lieutenant General Gironde followed the Duke's words and thought, "Let our eyes stay completely on the canal, which is the most fundamental confusion of Cohen Keda
plan?"
"I'm afraid that at this time, Cohen Keda is choosing the most suitable place to go ashore and prepare for a big fight, so as to attract the main force of our army and serve as the turning point and retreat point of this raid." Duke Swice affirmed.
He said in a tone of voice: "They are about to escape along the prepared escape route."
"Then what is your countermeasure?" Lieutenant General Gironde asked: "Do you really want to give up the Foxburg front line? If they have 80,000 people, they will have the ability to attack Foxburg. If anything happens to Foxburg...
…”
"So what if Foxburg is attacked? What is the most important thing in the Demon Alliance? Is it the tall walls and buildings made of stone? No, the most important thing in the Demon Alliance is people. As long as the people are there, we can build it.
There are countless walls and buildings, but without people, the walls and buildings are meaningless." Duke Swice shook his head and said: "The Demon Alliance actually failed on the day of the Snow Dance Festival, and our only chance to turn defeat into victory is
Now, the price is Foxborough."
"We are facing an extremely powerful enemy. We are very lucky to be able to win at the cost of the canal and the city. Lieutenant General, you were right a few days ago. I only need to seize one key in Cohen's plan.
Just click." At this point, Duke Swice lowered his head to think for a while, then raised his head and said: "Lieutenant General, let's compete!"
"Competition?" Although it was a question, Lieutenant General Gironde understood that the Duke in front of him had already thought maturely.
"The coalition forces did not train me to take over as marshal smoothly, but they wanted me to lead the coalition forces to victory. When the situation is unfavorable to the coalition forces, I have to work harder and be more careful." The Duke smiled slightly, "Let's compete and watch me.
Which of the two can capture Cohen Keda alive?"
"Your Excellency, are you sure?" The lieutenant general also smiled, "If so, I will not lose to young people, compete!"
After arriving at Lake Spanne, the fleet of the Sibia Expeditionary Force first fought a battle with the canal fleet of the Demon Alliance. The number was one to three. They fought from the canal to the lake for a whole day and night. The Sibia Expeditionary Force fought
The military fleet defeated the greater number with less. Since then, there has been no large-scale coalition fleet near Lake Spanner. Two-thirds of the coalition's Grand Canal system has been paralyzed. Only a section near the front line is still in operation. Individual garrison regiments on the front line
Already starting to eat itself.
It was at this time that the Sibia Expeditionary Force finally came ashore to attack as a legion. However, this time it was in accordance with past practice. The two legions were a hundred miles apart and marched together at the same speed. The attack was directed at Foxburg!
Foxburg is no ordinary city. It is the capital city known as the "Capital of the Demon Alliance". The nearby area is the most prosperous place in the entire Demon Alliance, and it is also the most important production base of the alliance, with workshops and granaries everywhere.
.Although they had been preparing for battle in the past few days, when the Sibia army was really close at hand, the panic caused was unprecedented in a century.
The Phantom Army reappears - this sentence can scare people out of their wits!
Regardless of whether they are nobles, civilians, or military priests, they are all very familiar with the name "Phantom Legion". In the last war between gods and demons, this legion and its commander left a shocking scar on the alliance. Cohen Keda, this
Although his name is carved on the threshold by countless people and trampled on every day, it does not mean that he himself will be harmed in the slightest... Fear, boundless fear begins to spread in this land, and no one can restrain it.
As soon as the flames of war ignited by the Sibia people rose on the shore of the inner lake, the rumors spread at a faster speed. The surrounding areas of the war zone were empty. Except for the troops urgently transferred to the war zone, the roads were full of people fleeing.
, the nobles' carriages formed a convoy, and the common people dragged their families and families, and rushed to the fortified Foxburg. The uncontrolled slaves demolished their houses, climbed trees, and lay on the street to dry their bellies, no one cared about them.
The Allied Forces Military Headquarters sent an order to the entire demon genus to unified command, declaring that no matter how urgent the situation was, the military headquarters would never take a step back. All members of the Demon Palace also went into battle, and began to use their own unique methods to deal with the embarrassing situation in front of them...
The entire demon alliance was trembling in front of a divine army with less than 100,000 members. This was a rare thing that hadn't happened in many years!
At this moment, in such a war where everything will be lost if you are not careful, everyone is cautious, lest their actions will have a negative impact on their own general situation. On both sides of the enemy and ourselves, from the commander to the soldiers, only
A person who is still smiling all day long...that is Emperor Sibia, His Majesty Cohen Keda!
Because he was dissatisfied with the arrangements for disembarkation, His Majesty repeated it six times in a row. The generals who were dumbfounded finally arranged an extremely complicated and solemn ceremony to get his wish. But when he turned his back, His Majesty was not satisfied with his carriage again.
, he personally removed the ceiling and reinstalled the seat before sitting on it with a look of reluctance. After that, he kept lying on it to deal with things.
Like a master, there is like a follower. His Majesty the Emperor's mount, the little crow "Master", finally bid farewell to the dim cabin and went to the ground happily. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no work to do, and he could only snort in boredom.
to bully other horses.
The most hateful "sir" did not bully Sibiya's horses, but specifically picked out the captured horses. At the end of the day, the officer who was in charge of the horses had his face numb with laughter. A dozen of them had been showing off their tempers after being captured.
The fierce horse was treated like a slave by Master Little Crow. In the end, Master Little Crow stood proudly on the roadside and asked the newly acquired younger brother to search for ownerless horses in the mountains and fields to become his younger brother. Only then did he pass.
Less than half a day later, the smoke and dust in the distance, the sound of hoofbeats, and the sudden attack of the horses gave the royal guards a false alarm. The little crow was scolded by His Majesty the Emperor, and then he snorted and reluctantly calmed down. (Unfinished)
