For the Sibia Expeditionary Force, the first few days of this operation were very precious. The Demon Alliance did not deploy too many troops in this direction. The expeditionary force that broke through the pass could spread out two
Your legs are flying, but when the opponent wakes up, the intercepting troops will swarm in. By that time, it will be impossible to run nearly a hundred miles every day.
In the first few days, all columns in Sbia increased their speed to the highest level. Without wasting any time, the entire expeditionary force crossed the border of the Trafa Empire and rushed directly to the southeastern region.
The resistance of the demon coalition also became tougher after the expeditionary force crossed the border. The speed of Sibia's army was getting slower and slower, and the forward troops were extremely tired and had been rotated twice.
On the other hand, as soon as the news that His Majesty the Emperor refused to evacuate alone spread back to the rear of the Empire, people became furious. The Imperial Staff urgently adjusted the overall strategy and supported the Guards and the Expeditionary Force with a new batch of supplies and troops directly from the gods and demons.
The troops left behind at the dividing line were drawn from, and even troops used to protect the periphery of the Sleeping Land were mobilized, and the vacancies left were filled by troops transferred from other places.
The troops that were confronting the Divine Alliance forces on the northern battlefield were ordered to resolve the battle as soon as possible and deal with Prince Ulysses!
Lieutenant General Moya, who was fighting against the Liva Empire rebels, also received the order for a full-scale attack at this time.
In the order given to Lieutenant General Helter, the commander of the Guards, General Staff Officer Carlos told him bluntly that the Sibia Empire had lost Marshal Martin Luther in this war. If he lost His Majesty the Emperor again, then
No matter what the final result is, the Sibia Empire will fall into pieces...
Stimulated by the Imperial General Staff, Lieutenant General Helter led a section of the Guards to suddenly turn around and open up the logistics channel that had been cut off by the Demon Alliance at an incredible speed.
On the ninth day after the "World-Ending Fire Dance" incident, the Guards returned to the Blue Water River Basin, and then dragged a long logistics line towards the Trafal Empire, advancing along the expeditionary army's previous route, all the way
The fight with the Demon Alliance's rear-end troops was inextricable.
His attack made the originally complicated battlefield even more complicated, turning it into a situation where Sbia's two forces, the Guards and the Expeditionary Force, as well as the Demon Alliance's Decisive Army, were chasing each other.
.Among them, the decisive battle legion of the Demon Alliance is of course the most powerful. Even if the Guards and the Expeditionary Force successfully reunite, the situation is still 70/30.
In addition, there are countless small demon troops nearby who are doing things such as adding icing on the cake, providing help in times of trouble, adding insult to injury, etc... Any general who encounters such a situation will have a very painful head.
His Majesty Cohen's head is in pain right now.
Because during this arduous march, he not only had to consider fighting, but also had to consider the stomachs of tens of thousands of his men. The six-day rations for the troops had already been eaten up, and they had to scrape all the way here. They relied on fighting to support them.
The little grain obtained by fighting was mixed with wild animal meat, wild vegetables, etc., but there was still no meal at all, and it was painful to eat from top to bottom.
Although there was no Bai Ying around to supervise, His Majesty Cohen did what he said this time. If there were soldiers under him who did not have anything to eat, then as the emperor and commander-in-chief, he would also be hungry. This sharing of joys and sorrows boosted morale.
At the same time, it also brought some side effects.
There is a saying that goes well: a man who is not full has a bad temper. So, His Majesty Cohen’s current temper...
"I...the Demon Alliance...even threw laxatives into the well, and I...your whole family...all..." His Majesty Cohen's voice was quite loud as he did not eat breakfast or lunch.
In fact, it's really not Cohen's fault this time. He just wanted to drink some water to fill his stomach, but he didn't expect that a demon child dropped his head in front of the well. He took a laxative and drank it. The bubbles rolled like boiling water, and ordinary people were stunned by the smell.
To fall down.
The child had runny noses and curiously looked at the emperor in black armor who was swearing and had the expression of an ignorant and fearless man.
"You think you are a hero, don't you?" Cohen finished scolding the Demonic Alliance, and looked at this "resistance soldier" who could not lift his shoulders or lift his hands and should not have anything to do with the war, and showed an evil smile:
"I will let you be a hero to the end!"
The two military doctors who received the order ran over and stood up straight in front of His Majesty Cohen. These witch doctors who came from the thirty-six tribes have now become fully qualified soldiers.
Cohen said loudly: "Don't you have the kind of ink that won't fade for a long time? Bring it to me!"
"The most supreme being in my life, my Emperor, the military law is strict, and we do not hide any contraband..."
"Looking for death, right? Go get it for me!"
"Yes! Yes!" The military doctors lowered their eyes with confusion and trotted to get things.
Not long after, a naked child ran out of the military camp crying. His forehead, face, butt, and even penis were covered with black, very ugly words, such as "I love..."
"The Bibia Empire", "The Bibia people are my biological fathers" and so on.
Cohen laughed and cursed loudly behind him: "Let's see who dares to poison..."
"How is it?" Cohen dropped the pen in his hand and asked the officer beside him: "Is there anything wrong?"
"It's not wrong. When he went out, we asked him to take the road to the granary. Seeing that we still have enough food, their attack should be slowed down a little bit." The officer replied: "The spies of the Demon Alliance Army are really weird. They actually
There are some who look so much like children.”
"As long as they are willing, there are people who look like your wife. If there are such spies in the future, they will all be dealt with accordingly." Cohen spat on the ground bitterly, turned around and went back to his tent. Mafa had already
Waiting for him inside.
"How is it?" Cohen said without politeness: "We have finished the food and there are still three days of fodder for the horses."
"I contacted the intelligence officer here. The intelligence department had built two granaries here before, as well as a pasture. Although they are not full, they can still provide some supplies. It will be good if they can last for three days." Mafa
Said: "The demon coalition's attack on our rear troops has intensified. Does this mean that they are planning a big move?"
"It's not like that, because this area is not suitable for a decisive battle between large armies, and the Demon Alliance army can't let go here at all." Cohen looked at the map on the table: "We have to march to the southeastern area where there is sufficient food, at least there is enough food.
It will take fifteen days. If we go forward for about ten days, the plain we will encounter is the most dangerous."
"I hope we can rush over, and I also hope that the Guards behind us can fight us." Mafa showed a bitter smile: "We are being chased by the demon coalition now. We want to stay and wait for the Guards."
ah!"
"We will definitely be able to survive." Cohen patted Mafa on the shoulder, his words filled with incomparable confidence: "We have worked hard, and the Demon Alliance has also worked hard, but they are caught in the middle by us. At this time, even if he wants to turn back
It is impossible to deal with the Guards. They can only chase us and try to open up the situation from us. As long as we hold on, it will be their turn to suffer."
"Everyone understands the truth, but our situation is too difficult. There are still fifteen days left, but our food... no army can survive the three-day food shortage period!"
"Don't worry, there will be bread and everything. You are responsible for finding it, and I will be responsible for grabbing it." Cohen chuckled: "The Demon Alliance will definitely deploy a large number of troops in this plain, and then there will be corresponding supplies.
, as long as you get close to them, you can find anything. Command the intelligence system to find out their logistics and transportation routes. As long as we find one, we can breathe easy!"
"Isn't it too dangerous to approach the enemy rashly at this time?"
"It's better than starving to death, right? We are an army at war, why are we afraid of getting close to the enemy?"
"I see."
"Also, I estimate that the scale of the battle between the two armies on this plain will not be small. The intelligence system must be prepared in advance to receive the wounded after the war." Cohen grabbed Mafa and explained: "Order the troops to prepare for battle.
, the small units that were spread out will be taken back immediately."
His Majesty Cohen's orders were issued level by level. The Jianghe Intelligence System and the battlefield reconnaissance system were all at full strength. Each small team rushed to the plain where the large army would arrive in a few days - near the Pegasus Plain in the Trafa Empire, looking for
The Demonic Alliance Army's logistics route is not letting go of any clues. Because everyone knows that the army cannot be fed by robbing Demonic civilians alone.
Time is passing, the remaining food is also being consumed, and a large amount of information is sent back, but there is no good news that is helpful to the expeditionary force. Knowing that they have a heavy task but in vain, those scouts who go out to perform the mission are all
They looked full of remorse and guilt. Even when the logistics officer distributed field rations, they all lowered their heads in shame and their faces turned red.
Finally, three days later, a piece of information made Cohen jump to his feet in the expeditionary force headquarters.
"There is a camouflaged boat detecting the river? Where is it? Mark it out for me!" His Majesty Cohen, who had been hungry for two more times, pulled Marfa a few steps and rushed to the map, then turned back and shouted to the staff: "
Why don't you come over and build a sand table for me!"
While the staff were hurriedly building a sand table, Mafa marked the intelligence-related locations on the map while describing the details: "The scouts found a carefully disguised boat, just between the Aixin Pass on the Suwen River and Tutu.
The activities in Menka looked like fishing, but they were actually secretly measuring the depth and width of the river. After extended reconnaissance, the same boat was found near the Pegasus Plain of Suwenjiang, and a batch of boats were also found near Salle City.
Formed elements for building piers!”
"Where is the analysis from the staff department? When will the confirmed information from the mountain system arrive?" When the facts were before his eyes, His Majesty Cohen, who was starved for two meals in a row, acted unusually calmly at the first moment: "In
At this time, we must not make any mistakes, otherwise we will be doomed."
"The Imperial Staff is analyzing, and the mountain system is also doing its best to probe. It is estimated that the authenticity will be confirmed tomorrow." Mafa let out a long breath: "The nearest section of this transportation line is less than two hundred miles away from us, and the carrying capacity is
It’s very big. If we make one vote, it will be enough for us to move to the target area. We can even use the looted food and supplies as capital to occupy a city and wait for the Guards!"
"Don't say it too early. Generals must not be blindly optimistic. The enemy is very close to us, but the information cannot be confirmed until tomorrow. Is it not enough time?" Cohen shook his head, walked back and forth in the tent, and fiercely
He raised his head and said: "Order the scouts to continue searching throughout the area, and then ask Rock to assemble the Royal Guards, bring reconnaissance equipment, and create a hunting squadron!"
"What do you want the rock to do?" Mafa was stunned for a moment.
"Time is tight, we can't just wait." Cohen grabbed his saber and sword and hung them on his body: "I want to confirm it myself!"
That night, the Royal Guards disguised themselves as a small expeditionary force out to rob food. They left the camp area for ten miles and then moved laterally for sixty miles. With the assistance of local intelligence personnel, they found a hidden valley as a temporary base. Most of the Guards
Just stay here to provide support and assistance for this reconnaissance operation, and conduct armed reconnaissance when necessary.
By the time it was dark, the reconnaissance team led by Cohen had already lurked in the dense forest on the bank of the Suwen River. Although the number was less than a hundred people, its combat power could dwarf the entire continent. There were twelve elven mages, twenty elven archers, and winged warriors.
There are fifteen human pilots, fifteen sand race assaulters, ten dwarf warriors, five blood race night killers, five orc warriors, and fifteen elite warriors... They are all veterans with outstanding achievements in the bloody battlefield.
He is both offensive and defensive, able to fight and run.
There is also a reconnaissance team with the same structure in the upstream and downstream. Together with other field reconnaissance troops, the entire reconnaissance range has covered the 300-mile-long river basin of Suwenjiang River.
Cohen, who was conducting reconnaissance, had long put aside his identity as emperor and lay down in the dewy grass. His eyes were fixed on the unmarked boat on the Suwen River that was carefully exploring the river channel. At the same time, he was calculating the exploration in his mind.
progress.
"Sir, last night, a total of three carrier pigeons were released on the ship. Because we did not receive an order, we did not intercept the carrier pigeons rashly." A scout who stayed behind to monitor reported next to Cohen: "The enemy's reconnaissance force in this area is also limited.
It has been strengthened, and the reconnaissance density is one patrol every hour, and they are all veterans."
"You are doing a good job." Cohen said to an officer lying beside him: "Notify the next homing pigeon that must be intercepted, but the pigeon must not be hurt. Be careful in what you do, and don't surprise the other party's scouts.
.”
As soon as the officer took the order and left, another officer climbed over and reported in Cohen's ear: "Sir, there is information coming over. It is said that the large components of the construction dock of the Demon Alliance have begun to be shipped, and a large number of engineers are accompanying them. In addition,
A huge logistics fleet has arrived at Aixin Pass...a large amount of food and supplies are being transferred to another ship."
"Is the information accurate? So you know it's food and supplies? Have the intelligence personnel boarded the ship to take a look? If the Demon Alliance wants to deceive us, we can't believe the words on the transportation bill." Cohen responded calmly and unusually: "You'll eat it in your mouth."
Only by cutting it to death can it prove that it is food, and only by killing people can it prove that it is a weapon!"
"Yes." The officer nodded: "I will order them to confirm."
"Issue another order to ask the troops behind to make two preparations." Cohen stopped the officer who was about to leave: "First, if the intelligence is correct, we have to grab things as quickly as possible. They are already changing ships and leaving them for us.
There is not much time, and all troops must be invested. Secondly, if this information proves to be false, then this is a trap, and the entire army must leave this area immediately! The General Staff and Liaison Office must prepare early.
"
"Understood!" The officer quickly crawled away.
Cohen stuffed a grass root into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Without grabbing enough food, the expeditionary force would have no way to pass through the Pegasus Plains. To grab this batch of food, a considerable number of troops would have to be used, and they would have to move nearly two hundred miles laterally. In other words, the expeditionary force would be closer.
The Demonic Alliance is here...
The Demon Alliance should know that they are short of food, but they don't know that they are indeed in an unsustainable situation. If they really want to use a batch of precious food and supplies as bait, how much courage will it take to make this determination?
If what is happening in front of them is really a trap set by them, then it can only be said that the demon alliance did not choose the right place - to ambush enough troops to win, they can only be in the mountains and forests on the other side of the river, across the river, their
Why are the troops rushing over?
Taking a step back, even if this is really a trap, and the combat effectiveness of the demon alliance has increased unexpectedly, and it really surrounded the expeditionary force, but relying on the battlefield situation that I have arranged in advance, the expeditionary force can fight and move.
At least I can escape unscathed.
Not long after, the captured demon coalition scouts stationed along the river, the report of the river system intelligence officer on board the ship for verification, and the logistics material allocation plan obtained by the mountain system through other channels were sent to Cohen Kai at the same time.
Looking at these things that could corroborate each other in front of Da, Emperor Sibia slowly exhaled and felt a little confused.
It is ten times more difficult to plunder materials on a water transportation line than to plunder a land transportation line, because there are no warehouses for water transportation and the fleet is more dispersed. This requires the investment of more troops, closer cooperation, and more cost.
It takes a long time...but the empty stomachs of tens of thousands of people cannot understand the complexity of the situation. When the time comes, it will ring.
"Well, a man is not rich without windfall, and a horse is not fat without night grass!" The situation was overwhelming, and Emperor Sibia made up his mind: "Record the order!"
Not long after, the liaison offices on the front line and the rear were informed of the latest battle plan of the expeditionary force at the same time.
The Special Operations Order of the Sibia Expeditionary Force: Order the first and second columns of the expeditionary force to secretly advance to the designated position on the bank of the Suwen River this night, and deploy into a sneak attack formation to lurk on standby. The remaining columns left behind camouflaged troops, and the main force moved horizontally in sequence
Move, and form a sneak attack reserve team and a response force on the bank of the Suwen River. The reconnaissance system, vanguard column, and rear guard column closely monitor the enemy's situation, and logistics prepare transportation vehicles. After the sneak attack operation is over, each column immediately begins to carry out large-scale, long-distance transfers, and staff headquarters
, the Liaison Department must make all emergency preparations.
Each department will start taking action from the moment it receives the order without any delay.
