The long parcels are connected with ropes and winged figures.
"One, two, three - take off! Let go!"
Under the command of the officer's command, the most dexterous Sibiya soldiers are helping the airlifted wingmen to take off. They hold up the package with both hands below and run with the wingmen who take off, waiting for the wingmen to accumulate enough energy.
Only then can you let go. The steps must be consistent and the lifting movements must be as gentle as possible, because the people currently being airlifted by each team of wingmen are all wounded with burns.
There are nearly a thousand wounded soldiers on the south bank where the Sibia Expeditionary Force is located, and they have to be transported to the north bank in this way and handed over to the Guards. Compared with the expeditionary force, which has a unclear road ahead, there is no such insurmountable river between the Guards and the rear.
It can better ensure the survival of these wounded people.
Almost all the wingmen are involved in this transfer, and the sky far and near is dotted with busy figures flying in groups.
Across the burned earth, covered with the last golden glow of the setting sun, the figures of the winged people soaring in the swirling smoke are a little less elegant and more cautious than before.
After the world-shattering flame dance in Chase City was extinguished, this scene continued in the sky. On the vast land under the sky, Sbia's soldiers were burying their comrades who died in the fire. These bodies were all scouts
Most of what I found when I ventured into the ruins was almost ashes. If it weren't for the metal identification tags, it would be impossible to identify them.
Troops that had lost their comrades gathered together and held a concise farewell ceremony in their most solemn and formal military appearance. The experience of brothers and sisters who had cared for each other for several years and shared weal and woe was undoubtedly a slap in the face, and the faces of the soldiers
The panic and hesitation when the fire started was no longer visible, but instead they were filled with a desire for revenge, which made their expressions look a bit ferocious.
A group of Sibiya generals gathered on the top of the mountain looked up at the sky, their young faces full of anxiety. It wasn't until a slight sound of footsteps came closer that they calmed down a little.
"His Majesty the Emperor is here - salute!" the star officer on duty shouted, and the generals immediately stood at attention, bumped their heels and raised their hands - "Here comes your majesty! What's the point of pomp and circumstance at this time?" Wearing black armor,
His Majesty Cohen strode over, cursed the officer on duty with a curse word, and then threw his gloves on the table: "Map!"
The agile staff officer raised his hand and said "Wow...", and spread out a large original map of the Demon Alliance Military Headquarters in front of His Majesty the Emperor. The smart generals stepped forward at the same time without waiting for instructions.
Gather around His Majesty.
"It's all clear!" said the logistics officer who came in behind His Majesty the Emperor: "The combat supplies that have been rushed out are in a mess, but there is a little bit of everything. If we save everything, we can still fight two battles. But... we are only left with
Six days of rations."
"Six days of rations, this is too dangerous." A general shook his head and said, "Can we save more?"
"If you plan not to eat, we will save a little more!" After hearing such a meager food reserve, His Majesty the Emperor would certainly be in a bad mood: "What nonsense are you talking about? Listen to what you have to say!"
"All the wounded will be transported by this evening, and the Guards will take them back until they find a safe stronghold to settle down. The rear area already knows what happened here, and the General Logistics Supervisor has rushed back to prepare supplies to meet us.
"General Liaison Officer Mafa took over the logistics officer's words: "If we can hold on until that time, we can go home."
"So, how long do we need to hold on alone?" The muscles on the face of another general twitched.
Mafa glanced at him and said something that made everyone's faces twitch: "At least twenty days."
For a moment, the generals surrounding them did not speak. They only had six days of rations, but it would last for twenty days. It would be okay if the whole army just lay down and counted on their fingers during this period, but it was not far away.
Those demon coalition forces who were not far away would definitely not agree... To put it simply, this became an impossible task unless everyone started eating people on the seventh day...
Moreover, it seems that the trouble does not end with this, because the staff officer of the expeditionary force is already preparing to speak.
"We can't stay here. The nearest demon coalition is less than a day's journey away from us. Although they are not close yet, they are afraid that the power of magic has not completely dissipated. After they confirm the situation, we
Even if we want to run away, it's too late." The staff officer's face was stern, but everyone knew that this was not an alarmist: "While we were meeting, General Rock sent by His Majesty was already opening a way for us to break through."
"Breakthrough?" The generals were all surprised.
"If you don't break out, are you waiting to die? You all should be normal! That shit city will burn down, and it's not like your real father is dead!" His Majesty Cohen snorted coldly, very dissatisfied with the performance of the generals: "Now you
The only thing to consider is war!"
"Waiting here is definitely a dead end. We must use our own characteristics to survive." Then, His Majesty pointed to a point on the map: "It has been decided, we will break out from here."
"But, Your Majesty... that's the demonic hinterland!" The general who was closest looked at the place pointed by the emperor's finger and reminded: "Going here is not a breakout, but an attack, right?"
"It's a breakout, a more crazy and sharp action than an attack." Cohen smiled coldly, and when the generals retreated in fear, he said: "Our target is the food in this area - I don't care where the food is.
I want you to find them out, and don’t let go of a single grain. You must feed them all into the mouths of our soldiers! If someone in the Sibia army is destined to starve to death in this war, yes! But first
Start with me!"
Among all the rogue tricks Emperor Sibia used against his own people, this one was the most ridiculous and admirable. Everyone nodded silently, cheering for themselves in their hearts. Then, faced with
The three generals standing by Cohen immediately opened their eyes wide, as if they had seen something terrible.
"Where are you looking at? Give me ten slaps each when you're done!" Cohen glared at the distracted general and began to assign tasks: "There are several roads in this area, but each road is not close enough to support an army of 60,000 people.
Therefore, we need to divide the expeditionary force into seven groups and advance together. In this way, combat coordination becomes the key..."
Next, Cohen began to lay out the main line and details of the operation. Seven young generals who could take charge of their own affairs were required to lead troops ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 to rush into combat. The last special force of 7,000 was led by Cohen.
His Majesty personally led it. Therefore, the expeditionary force was actually divided into eight units. Each unit had its own offensive route and area of activity, and had to find its own way to provide supplies. In addition, the combat tasks were also very heavy.
Two legions, an army of less than 70,000 people, have to support an offensive area that is 350 miles wide and more than 200 miles deep... This is an attack pattern that no army in the entire continent can imagine.
, but for the Sibia Expeditionary Force, this has always been one of the focuses of training. Such military innovation can be summarized in the words of His Majesty the Emperor.
Technology determines tactics.
The Sibia Empire has battlefield instant communication capabilities that transcend the times, and also possesses maneuverability and offensive capabilities that dwarf the mainland. These advantages are accumulated and become the entire capital of the army's current survival. Among these advantages, instant communication capabilities are also
It is the advantage among advantages, far more than others.
Under these prerequisites, the Sibiya Expeditionary Force will begin an offensive method that subverts the existing military theory. It will be a regiment-level rapid attack composed of large and small interspersed, segmented, surrounded and annihilated operations.
The generals leading the army were very young and had all participated in the bloody battle of Tucheng. Those years were deeply imprinted in their souls. They even believed that it was their most unforgettable memory as soldiers and would never happen again in the future.
There are no other comparable wars. But at this moment, when this combat model that has been longed for was spoken by Cohen, the memories hidden deep in the hearts of the generals have overlapped with the reality in front of them.
From being cold during the World-Ending Flame Dance to boiling now, in a short period of time, the blood of Sibia's soldiers has completed the temperature-changing process. When a group begins to burn itself, the situation is terrible, let alone
The group "Sbia".
"Since we want to fight, let's beat him to the ground! The demons have already used abnormal warfare methods, and there are no restrictions on our fighting methods. We don't have to worry about the life and death of others!" This is how Cohen described the imminent battle.
: "Our attack group will push all the way to the enemy's rear, and further behind, and the main target is food. This may make you feel a little miserable or even regretful, but on the premise of survival, frontal duel and capture
There is no difference in food!”
His Majesty the Emperor's words were very practical and very military. No one answered, and everyone's eyes were full of determination.
"For the survival of soldiers, for the survival of the empire, for the survival we have always dreamed of." Cohen waved his hand vigorously in the air and concluded with this sentence: "Nothing is more important than these!"
"As long as you win, don't worry about anything else!" A breathtaking response announced the end of the meeting. The generals dispersed as if they had changed their personalities, and ran away without looking back.
Cohen waved to several other intelligence and logistics generals to leave. He continued to look at the map for a while, and then turned around. A graceful woman in flowing white clothes who had been standing behind Cohen came into his sight.
"Why do you just stand within hearing range every time this young master says he doesn't want to eat?" Cohen walked over, turned his head and smiled at Bai Ying: "Is the princess okay? Is everyone okay?"
"Everyone is worried about you. The First Princess is really worried, so she asked me to come over to see how you are doing. Unexpectedly, something like this happened..." Even Bai Ying, who rarely showed his expression, said that he was overturned.
When Shiyan danced, a strong anger flashed across his face: "As for why I heard it, it's not important. What's important is that you must do it."
"I will send you back to the imperial concubine immediately. How else can you supervise me?" Cohen still remembers the painful experience of not eating for three days.
"Aren't there other dragons here?" Bai Ying glanced at the dragon member who was "secretly rented" standing not far away. She was silent for a while, with a trace of worry on her eyebrows, and asked softly:
"Are you sure about the future war?"
"As soon as I heard this, I knew that you were an outsider in war." Cohen laughed, and his bold and firm voice reached the foot of the mountain: "Living in this world, who dares to say that they are sure about these things that are full of variables? Planning
After that, it’s time to fight!”
When I was young, the first troops who had prepared themselves passed by the foot of the mountain. The torches were connected in front and behind, shining brightly in the light of the rolling water and the misty earth, like a ignited Milky Way.
In the firelight, soldiers of all types and accompanying magicians were all lightly dressed, with nothing but weapons and armor and a few days of rations. There was no longer a convoy of baggage that could not be seen from head to tail. But among them
, but could not find a face with an expression of frustration and decadence. Instead, there was a silent power slowly coming through, making people straighten their waists!
Bai Ying's figure soared in the sky. She couldn't bring Cohen back as she wished. In such an environment, she couldn't even say this. But she didn't feel regretful or sorry.
At the same time, shrouded in the same night, not far away, the military meeting beside Duke Swice Hepburn was also coming to an end.
This military meeting was very difficult. The coalition generals were a little panicked about today's events, but fortunately the military generals were relatively realistic in character. During the long meeting, the Duke painstakingly guided the generals, and the generals finally eliminated the impact of the helpless incident.
, and also accepted the biggest consequences of this incident - the inability to completely annihilate the most elite military forces of the Sbia Army, namely the Guards and the Expeditionary Force. Although these are two different forces, for the demons
, they are all enemy elites with the ability to attack the demon alliance.
The two forces harmed each other, whichever was the lesser. The rough battle plan was finalized, and the coalition decided to strive to annihilate the expeditionary force without being able to pursue the two Sbia armies at the same time.
There are two factors that prompted the Demon Alliance to make this determination.
First, the defensive capabilities of the Sibiya Guards are very strong, which has been reflected in a series of previous battles. Moreover, the geographical conditions of the Guards are relatively good, and it is possible to receive direct support from its rear.
To encircle and annihilate this force, many unforeseen circumstances will inevitably occur during the process.
Judging from the previous tactics of the Sibia Expeditionary Force, they are trying to avoid taking on the defensive battle alone, so their defensive capabilities will not be too strong. Moreover, their position is very unfavorable, with a difficult road separating them from Sibia's rear.
Overcoming a natural chasm, experiencing sudden changes and being left alone, the morale of the army must be unstable, and there will be an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The second point is a personal consideration for the Demon Alliance. If we conduct operations on the south bank, both troop operations and logistical support will be much more convenient.
"More importantly, Cohen Keda will definitely stay in the expeditionary force." At the end of the situation analysis, the Duke expressed his inner choice criteria: "For us who have lost the chance to equalize the war, the only option is to annihilate the cause.
Only the expeditionary force led by Cohen Keda can defeat the war will of the entire Sbia, thereby slowing down and disrupting Sbia's follow-up military operations in another aspect!"
"This is an order that will be sent out later. It will be sent to the emperor, important ministers and senior generals of each empire." Seeing the confused and puzzled looks of his generals, Si, as the commander-in-chief,
Duke Weiss took out an order from his arms and said to these tactical commanders who lacked a strategic vision: "I am here to read some fragments to you first."
"A large-scale disaster of unknown origin caused the coalition forces to lose the best chance to win this war. Although we may not admit this, our entire military force suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Sibiya Expeditionary Force. We could have
The entire Sibyan Army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Chase City, but that is no longer possible. Losing this opportunity to win the war heralds the end of the era of confrontation between the Divine Alliance and the Demonic Alliance."
"The flames ignited in Chase City marks the birth of a new, three-legged era! Every day and every matter in the future, we must consider the existence and influence of the Sbia Empire from the beginning...
This is our unprecedented failure and sorrow, but greater failures and sorrows have already followed."
"With no other choice, the Sibia Expeditionary Force will definitely advance towards the hinterland of the demon clan in order to plunder food to satisfy their hunger. If the Sibia people can get enough food and supplies to last until the reinforcements arrive, they can return to Sibia.
Bibia Empire, bringing this war to a perfect end... And after crossing the territory of the Demon Alliance with one or two legions, Bibia will never be reconciled to the results of this battle. Cohen Kay
Dahui will organize a stronger army and attack his target with a more crazy attitude!"
"What kind of status the Demon Alliance can have in the era of three-legged confrontation depends entirely on our resistance... Historically, the Demon Alliance has not been afraid of sacrifices or paying the price. However, the act of resistance itself is a rather passive situation.
... We have a better choice - the emperor of Sibia is still on our side, and we still have the opportunity to work hard and go all out to annihilate the Sibia expeditionary force that is looking for food and kill Cohen Keda
!”
"Koen Keda is extremely important to Sibia. As long as he dies, the threat from the Sibia Empire to us will be reduced to the lowest point. Therefore, our first goal is to kill him!"
"Annihilating the Sibia Expeditionary Force will make the outcome of the campaign launched by Sibia imperfect. Even if Cohen Keda had not died, he who led the army would have tasted defeat for the first time, and he would have understood.
He and his army are not invincible, which is crucial to the Demon Alliance!"
"The mentality of an empire led by an emperor who has never failed and an empire that has a record of emperors being annihilated are completely different... And the person Cohen Keda is of incomparable significance to Sbia.
Important, so our first goal is Korn Keda, and annihilating the expeditionary force is the secondary goal!”
"No matter what degree of failure, under the influence of the mentality of the shadow of failure, Sibia will have the idea of defending, the intensity of military operations will be greatly reduced, and the recovering Demon Alliance will be given more time... Therefore,
The pursuit and annihilation battle we are currently engaged in is a battle of extraordinary significance, a battle that requires the use of all courage and wisdom, and a battle that concerns the future of every resident of the Demon Alliance!"
"At this critical juncture, all armies must be under the direct command of the coalition forces, and all supplies must be at their disposal. Local armed forces, private armed forces or even individual armed forces that cannot be directly ordered by the coalition military headquarters do not need to wait for other orders.
Directly engage in the war against the Sibia Expeditionary Force, even if you kill one more Sibia soldier, it will be a contribution to this war!"
After reading this, Duke Swiss put down the order in his hand and glanced around the tent with his steady eyes.
The generals who had been under tremendous pressure, experienced today's unexpected events, and were not sure how the dark demons would react to the incident were all shocked by the words in this order. Under the guidance of Duke Swice
Next, their attention traveled across the front and saw the future of the entire alliance... Looking back at the Duke's generals, some of them had wet eyes.
"The future of the alliance is in our hands." Of course Duke Swice knew what they were thinking: "As long as we devote all our strength to fighting, we will fulfill our duty as a bloody man. After falling, as a
We as soldiers no longer bear this responsibility. In fact, in the final analysis, it is just death. Are we reluctant to bear it? Are we afraid?"
"We are not afraid of death!" Finally, a general who couldn't bear it cried out, which aroused the excitement in the tent. Their faces were flushed, and their eyes were shining with blood. The scene they just saw outside the city was different from the one in Svis's hand.
The letter has completely aroused their fighting spirit, and each one of them is like a wild beast eager to bite its prey: "Give the order! Sir! Kill him!"
In the noisy tent at this moment, Lieutenant General Gironde, who was standing quietly in the corner of the tent, felt a lot.
It was today that he saw with his own eyes that the young Duke of Swiss had put aside all his unrealistic ideas and baggage, extinguished the childishness and illusions in his soul, and completed the transformation from a battlefield commander to a battle commander. No matter it was
Judging from the criteria of looking forward and looking at the overall situation, or judging from the means of doing things and the leadership of his subordinates, the Duke at this time has become a truly excellent commander.
From another perspective, after Duke Swice became a real commander, he had a real overall thinking ability similar to that of Cohen Keda, and also had the ability to compete with Cohen Keda.
Negative ability!
The scene in front of them made the generals get rid of their uneasiness and hesitation, and they were full of fighting will and recognized the Duke of Swyth as "sir". This is a powerful evidence. This change happened so quickly that Lieutenant General Girond almost did not dare to
Believe it. But he can be sure that this change is no less than manna after a long drought for the coalition forces.
The brave coalition soldiers are in great need of an excellent commander now!
Sudden changes caused this war to slide into a bottomless abyss. Chasing the Sbia Expeditionary Force is easy to say, but there was no such plan or preparation before the war! To drive the devil under such circumstances
How difficult is it for this huge and bloated fighting machine of the Allied Forces to turn its head and pounce on the enemy who has changed direction?
There is no complete combat plan, no complete military mobilization, and no complete logistical support. The only thing that the soldiers can rely on to make up for these shortcomings is the commander's keen war ability!
Duke Swice will surely lead everyone to victory in this war.
Although, it was just a reluctant victory.
"Sir." Lieutenant General Gironde took a step forward and, like the others, used a new title for the Duke: "I just received information that the Sbia Expeditionary Force has moved."
Duke Swice took a look at the information handed over by the Lieutenant General, raised his eyes, and said lightly.
