"Report sir, emergency situation!" Late at night, the voice of the intelligence officer sounded outside Prince Ulysses' tent: "The Sibia army has made a move, and multiple infantry and cavalry troops are attacking our army's logistics line! I am on duty with the cavalry.
We have already sent reinforcements!"
"Convene a meeting!" The prince, who had not actually fallen asleep, got up, put on his coat, and came out with his sword. Since the establishment of the army by Korn Keda, attacking the opponent's flanks and logistics has become a common practice among Sbia's armies.
consistent style and important means, but this kind of attack always occurs after the overall strategy is decided.
So, the attack at this time was the prelude to the entire war by Sbia's army, and a series of actions must follow.
"Starting from this evening, many Sibia troops have launched attacks on many nodes of our logistics line." The intelligence officer followed the prince to the tent where the meeting was held, and reported in a low voice: "There are both infantry and cavalry, and their attack power is the same.
Their fighting will is very strong, unlike those small troops that came to harass before, but the tactics used are very unfamiliar... Fortunately, our army attaches great importance to the protection of the logistics line. So far, no node has been attacked.
It fell, but the transportation of supplies had to be stopped."
Prince Ulysses entered the meeting tent and nodded to the generals who rushed there - the generals were fully armored and seemed to have entered the state of war in advance - "Sit down." Then, the prince turned to ask: "
What kind of army is it? What do you mean by unfamiliar tactics?"
"Judging from the colors of the flags and uniforms, it should be the Sbia regular army, but there is no record of this unit in our intelligence." The intelligence officer himself was a little confused: "Although they also used sneak attacks and ambush methods, they were more aggressive in the attack.
They pay attention to formations, coordination of arms, etc. Moreover, their tactical coordination and orders are a bit... a bit like the style of the Demon Alliance."
"Don't you dare to speak? A demonic army that surrendered to Sibia, the so-called Youshui Army, makes you unable to speak out?" When criticizing the intelligence officer, the prince still maintained a peaceful demeanor: "
What is their exact number?”
"The total number of troops currently participating in the attack is 16,000, divided into multiple groups." The intelligence officer said: "In addition, there are some engineers who are destroying the traffic of our army's logistics lines... Including those who need to be protected,
This troop should be more than 20,000."
"Twenty thousand troops..." The prince turned his head and looked at the other generals: "For the defenders with very limited mobile forces, what does this mean when they invest 20,000 troops at once? What do you think?
this matter?"
"With such a large-scale investment, and without testing in advance, there are two possibilities." The prince's staff officer spoke first: "First, the Sibia Army disrupted our army's logistics line through attacks, in order to force our army to retreat.
The reason why there was no test was because there was not enough time or there was a flaw in the information.”
"It doesn't look like it." Another general said: "If this is the purpose, then they should use 20,000 people together to form a sharp knife, rather than this painless and scattered attack."
"This is the second point I want to make." The staff officer was not surprised and went on: "Army Sbia may think that it is not cost-effective to attack our logistics line with 20,000 troops and trigger a fierce battle. The reason is
It may be that the 20,000 people did not respond, or it may be that they thought that we would attack with all our strength and did not focus on logistics as the key to victory. Therefore, they only wanted to weaken our logistics to a certain extent, thereby reducing the strength of our army.
Attack time delayed."
"These are all possible, but the current intelligence does not allow us to draw a conclusion." Prince Ulysses frowned slightly: "Did the Sbia troops that attacked my logistics have any other actions? The previous anomalies
Is there any action?”
"One of them had shown signs of moving towards Silver Frost Castle before, but was discovered by our army's patrol force and began to attack the nearby logistics nodes."
"A logistical harassment without a specific location was actually done by sending the surrendered Youshui Army." The prince shook his head and said to everyone: "This army originally belonged to Wells, and it can be regarded as one of the newest members of the Demon Alliance.
The division is good at fighting large armies in positions and in the field - raids are not their strongest aspect. If you were in command, what would you think?"
"If I were in command, the Youshui Army could be used as a nail outside the logistics line." A general replied: "I will first use a night attack to show the existence of the Youshui Army and show that I have the logistics to attack.
I have the ability to line the line, and then I stay outside and continue to harass when nothing happens. I am not afraid when I encounter attacks, because I can retreat and fight. If you want to surround me, you can divide your troops!"
At this time, the intelligence officer who had left the tent was whispering something to the prince, so the staff officer took over the general's train of thought and continued: "Is the Youshui Army an open bait thrown by the Sibia people? Our army will
Feeling embarrassed and therefore hesitant to move forward?”
"This army's attack will not cause much harm to my logistics. If not, then what is the point of its attack?"
"Everyone, please be quiet." Prince Ulysses raised his hand: "The intelligence officer has something to say to everyone."
"The latest intelligence shows that from the staff headquarters to the northern theater, the Sibia Army has entered the strategic defense." The intelligence officer held up a piece of intelligence in his hand, his voice a little excited: "The confirmed intelligence pointed out that the Sibia Empire's defense
The machine started to activate and spread to the entire northern region. Strategic Defense, this operation is extremely large and cannot be faked."
Although the generals listened to the intelligence officer's words with bated breath, a trace of the excitement of war was already showing.
"Based on the various behaviors of the enemies in front of us, we can confirm that they are implementing a comprehensive defense to wait for the return of the Demon Expeditionary Force. And Emperor Sibia has announced that he will return to the Holy Capital within a month. At the same time, he
We have asked all demonic countries to send representatives to the Holy Capital." At this point, the intelligence officer couldn't help but increase his tone: "Now, it depends on how much territory we can capture!"
As soon as the staff officer finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on the prince.
"It seems that our early strategy has paid off. During this period, they will concentrate on operating the front line, and we must also concentrate on operating the outside front. You must have a bottom line in mind on how to fight." Yuri
The Sith Prince slowly stood up and paused for a moment: "Are the reconnaissance, intelligence, and logistics departments ready?"
"Ready!" The general whose name was called immediately stood up.
"Forward army, left army, right army, rear guard, maneuver, preparation - are all the units ready?"
"Ready!" The remaining generals also stood up at the same time.
"In the name of the commander-in-chief of the Divine Alliance, I declare." The prince's eyes were like a beast lurking in the darkness: "The third phase of the offensive against Sibia - officially begins!"
As soon as this order came out, the Divine Alliance Army, which had seemed slow to move before, immediately changed its appearance, and even the base camp became bustling with people. Staff officers and heralds holding orders ran on the back-office roads connecting several major functional departments.
On the ground, the originally quiet and empty campus was filled with busy people... A large bonfire was lit, and gradually spread as the order was passed, illuminating the entire offensive camp of the Divine Alliance.
If you look at it from a high altitude, it seems as if the octopus has changed color, revealing its ferocious side before preying - its target is not the solid main defense line of the northern Sbia theater, but the large area of land outside the defense line.
Soon, this burning octopus will split its body to occupy various strategic points!
By dawn, the Allied Forces of God had completed the transformation of their formation, and used their superior strength to form sharp knives on the left and right sides, and began to stretch in parallel. In the morning light, a dozen Sbia cities were located on their marching route...
While the entire Divine Alliance Army was eager to try, a unique battle was unfolding on both sides of the logistics line. Both sides knew that this would be a battle that was closely connected to the main battlefield, but at a certain level independent of the main battlefield, but
No one expected that this battle would last so long, and that in a sense, it was important enough to be called a battle.
Because of the previous attack on the logistics line, the Sibiya Outer Line Army prematurely and proactively "exposed" itself, so it was attacked by the Godly Alliance duty unit - the 7th Mixed Cavalry Regiment of the Tansi Royal Guards.
As the 7th Cavalry Legion's counterattack advanced, the Youshui Army began to avoid and retreat along the logistics line. While gradually gathering the troops, they became further and further away from their headquarters. This behavior made it difficult to a certain extent.
The Allied Forces of God were paralyzed and slackened - only the Seventh Legion and the two light infantry attached to it were chasing after them.
However, the situation faced by the Youshui Army was still severe, and the total number of enemies chasing them was more than 60,000.
Glenns and Scindia cooperated very well this time, and their command was more meticulous. They organized three rear-guard sniper battles of different scales with typical demonic style to find out the strength of their opponents.
Frankly speaking, these two armies are both elite, and both were once given the mission of defeating the Sibiya Army and Korn Keda. Of course, the mission of the Youshui Army has changed, but this does not mean that their combat capabilities will
decline, in fact, they have accumulated considerable experience in previous battles with Sibia. Tanxi's Seventh Army is also an old ace unit. In the last war between gods and demons, it cooperated with the beast army to advance and occupied a large area of demons.
The ones who own the land are the legions who receive three times the military pay.
The collision of the two armies, old and new, will be like a small-scale battle between gods and demons - in fact, it is not difficult to fight to the fullest, but that would violate the order, so Glens and Scindia
Beginning to show another style of Youshui Army.
Hide, hide, hide! The Youshui Army circled around the logistics line, relying on their familiarity with the terrain to avoid a deadly battle situation. They also recognized the opponent's mission of protecting the logistics line, and assigned a considerable number of troops to attack the transport team of the Divine Alliance Army. They fired their bows left and right, letting them
The Seventh Legion gave up its intention of siege and frontal decisive battle many times, and could only helplessly follow the steps of the Youshui Army.
Gradually, the more than 20,000 Youshui Army became farther away from the logistics line. Then one night, the entire army suddenly disappeared, leaving only an open space where they last camped. No one knew how they escaped from tracking, but soon
Their traces will be discovered soon - the Youshui Army will appear on the other side of the logistics line in an almost magical way, taking a bite out of the fatal point of logistics!
In terms of speed alone, the Youshui Army cannot keep up with the Sibia Mobile Corps, but the Youshui Army's tenacity and strength are not inferior to any Sibia troops. If the logistics line and transport team are bitten by them, it will not be the third branch of the army.
It can be described that even the Seventh Legion chasing behind had to be careful. Three lone troops were eaten up in a row, not even the dregs were left... If there were no external stimulation, this battle between elites and elites,
It will eventually turn into a monotonous chase game.
On the other hand, the occupation operation of the Divine Alliance is in full swing. The formation is like ink on paper, expanding outward in circles, the outline getting larger and larger, and finally turning into a mutated but fully functional monster.
Relying on its own advantages, it continues to devour Sbia's territory.
There are eight clearly organized branches branching out from the base camp. After each branch is charged up, it can independently complete an aspect of the attack process, just like the wriggling tentacles of an octopus, which do not interfere with each other and can cooperate with each other.
In a fierce confrontation, such a formation will suffer heavy losses, but it can make great profits when the opponent is preparing for a comprehensive defense.
After not fierce resistance, Sibia towns fell one after another, and Sibia border guards retreated one after another. The size of the divine coalition has expanded to a critical point - but Yuri
The Sith Prince has long prepared the organization system and supply model for the army that is most suitable for this situation. The entire army, from equipment to combat ideas, fully meets the needs.
Cohen Keda returned to the Holy Capital in another month, followed by envoys from the demonic countries. So when will Sibiya ask the divine countries to send envoys? Is it before the war is over? God
Everyone in the coalition army could almost smell the alluring aroma of ink in the negotiation documents.
Every piece of land occupied in front of you can be sold for a big price when the time comes - so for the Divine Alliance, now is the stage where time and no time waits and every inch of land must be fought for!
In the Sibia Northern Theater Command, several pairs of bloodshot eyes were staring closely at the actions of the Divine Alliance - burdened with the pressure of a large area of territory being occupied, if Ulysses was unwilling to cooperate, his own
The ending is not as simple as going home and farming. Therefore, when they saw the enemy's battle array expanding and reaching the critical point, several commanders couldn't help but high-five each other.
The turning point of the war started from this moment. (To be continued)
