Although the whole war has only begun to unfold a little bit, the fighting is already in full swing in some areas. The Sibiya First Front Army, which won the first battle, now surrounded the important material base of the Merchant Corps Army and massed heavy troops.
Under the attack, the attack was extremely violent, and several teams even broke through the defenses and set fire to two small warehouses on the periphery. However, the defenders of the merchant group put on a desperate posture, holding on to the defense line.
, while asking for help from friendly neighboring troops in all directions.
The letters asking for help were delivered extremely smoothly. In fact, the Sibia people did not feel sorry for the soldiers who sent the letters at all. However, those troops who came to the rescue as soon as they received the letter were without exception attacked halfway.
After the demihuman ambush circle, they hadn't even reached the halfway point... This allowed the surrounding merchant army to fully appreciate the power of the Sbia cavalry. So after a day, no one was stupid enough to come to the rescue.
However, those who frowned at this situation were not only the commander of the merchant base, but also the three brigadier generals in Sibia. The first front army was not here to attack the material base. If it takes one more day, the return trip would be
It's a bit more dangerous! But the merchant army has already made up its mind to play the turtle, and the material base is free to attack at will, so what can you do?
One of the reasons why there is no way is that the First Front Army has penetrated too deep into the enemy's territory, and its strength is scattered, and it is unable to capture this heavily guarded material base. In fact, even if their strength is still intact, this base is very difficult to attack.
They are still willing to come here to fight because they feel that this is the place where the Merchant Army must rescue them, and the intelligence department can find weaknesses in the opponent's mobilization.
"We underestimated Ulysses." This was Brigadier General Roman's first self-examination, "We underestimated the determination of the merchant army."
"Not only you, our Liaison Department has not obtained valuable information yet." The Brigadier General of the Liaison Department also said with sadness, "I didn't expect that old guy Ulysses could be so insidious."
"If there is no change today, we will retreat." Brigadier General Roman whispered, "I am responsible for the troops, and this should not be the place where they died... Brigadier General Chatai, what do you think?"
"How do I feel?" Chatai sat quietly on the chair and replied expressionlessly, "You two are like a pair of stupid bird eggs."
With a "bang", the two brigadiers stood up, and the guards outside the door also made a noise - the reason is very simple, Chatai's comment is no longer an insult in the ordinary sense, and it is only natural for everyone to use their fists for this
things.
"Not convinced? Then listen to what I tell you." Chatai's attitude was very contemptuous, as if the person in front of him was his student, "First, what kind of war is this? I don't think you have any idea yet. What is this?
Our last stand! If you win, you will live! If you lose, you will die! In this kind of war, no one is inexplicable! Want to run when there is a little danger? Just want to save the entire army? That is courting death!"
The two brigadiers stood there, as embarrassed as they could be.
"Second, when you are in an enemy situation, your will comes first. Since you want the bait, you must press it with all your strength! Retreat for no reason? Isn't that just telling others what we are here for? Stupid!" Chatai did not give the two of them any attention at all.
To save face, "We are carrying out strategic-level reconnaissance. It is normal for twenty or thirty thousand people to die. Think about the Merchant Army reconnaissance group that was wiped out by you. How were they chosen? Since it is reconnaissance, there should be reconnaissance.
Look, if you have doubts in your mind, you have to figure it out!"
There was silence in the tent, and the faces of the two brigadiers who were being trained turned red.
Chatai's words are correct because he is already looking at the war from an overall perspective; the other two people feel ashamed and aggrieved at the same time because their job is not reconnaissance. One is an intelligence officer and the other is a second-rate regular army. They have no idea about this kind of war.
The methods are relatively unfamiliar. However, as Chatai said, this is a doomsday battle. No one cannot be sacrificed, and nothing cannot be changed...
In Sibia, the generals are divided into three phases. The first phase is for the generals such as Moya, Geert, Carlos, etc. who are in high power next to Cohen Keda; the second phase is for the direct subordinates and adjutants of the first batch of generals, including Chao.
Taiwan is also considered one. Although the merits are not that great, the actual combat experience, command ability and war awareness are not much inferior; in the third period, it is one level behind in all aspects, especially during the military restructuring period, most talents
After being promoted, he began to act independently and could not be compared with the previous two batches of generals.
Roman is a standard upstart who grew up under the protection of his brother, and Colter, a general who transferred to become the governor of an important area, has abilities between the first and second periods. He can give him guidance, but in actual combat
He has limited experience. Although Roman takes generals like his brother as role models, he himself is an embarrassing third-term general. He has never commanded a major battle, his will has not been tempered, and he is a bit arrogant.
However, all the upstarts in Sbia actually have one advantage, that is, they have a broad vision and know their priorities.
Roman knew the purpose of Chatai's criticism, and he finally understood that if he turned this corner, he would be a qualified general of Sbia; if he couldn't figure it out, he would become a cowardly traitor!
So, after a long time, Brigadier General Roman swallowed his saliva and said with great difficulty: "I understand, thank you, instructor."
Then he looked at the brigadier general of the Liaison Department with pity and said to the inspector: "I'll go out and beat the bastards."
No one knew what kind of torture the Brigadier General of the Liaison Department suffered after that, and they didn't bother to ask, because after Brigadier General Roman went out, the First Front Army's offensive was intensified to an almost crazy level - mountains of projectiles were thrown by catapults
They were thrown into the enemy city, to the point of not caring about catapults. Half of the huge amount of bows and arrows collected from warehouses along the way were used in three hours!
Not to mention the tireless attacks by the magicians who accompanied the army, and the only engineer unit of the First Front Army. They dug tunnels at a record speed. If they hadn't just dug the fire prevention ditch in the city, the material base might have been destroyed.
Changed hands...
"It takes a lot of effort." Brigadier General Roman complained a little sadly, "Unfortunately, luck is not on our side..."
"The military literacy of the First Front Army has always been different from that of the established and powerful forces." In Chatai's eyes, there was no such factor as luck. He attributed everything to the battle itself. "The local chief of the Liaison Department also grew up eating soup, and even the water canal
No markings were made!”
The other two brigadiers held their heads and said nothing. Their men had done a terrible job, so what else could they say?
"Report!" Fortunately, a staff officer came to rescue them at this time. "The air outpost has discovered enemy reinforcements!"
"Bring it here!" Brigadier General Roman grabbed the information, glanced at it briefly and shouted, "Good guy! I really thought they weren't coming!"
"It's a mixed infantry and cavalry force, coming directly towards us!" Roman handed the information to the brigadier general of the Liaison Department, "Please confirm."
"Looking at this kind of flag, combined with their route, this unit is very likely to be Ulysses' private soldiers." The brigadier general of the Liaison Department took out another small book, rummaged for a while and nodded, "No.
That's right, it's his private army. This army is a mixed army of infantry and cavalry. It has strong combat power, but it usually hides very deep. It is called 'the prince's little boy' among them."
"Baby?" Roman twitched his lips.
"Because the commander is the adopted son of Ulysses and has a tough personality. He used to protect the prince's family, but he never participated in the war except for this matter." The brigadier general of the Liaison Department explained, "This unit has been trained by us. Then
At that time they were Riva rebels."
"Their commander..." Chatai, who was silent, suddenly interrupted, "is he a werewolf with a painted face?"
"Yes." The brigadier general of the Liaison Department nodded, "Male, thirty-one years old, with red spots on his face."
"For the intelligence department, this is a good opportunity!" Chatai sneered twice, and made arrangements arrogantly, "Immediately arrange for the infantry to evacuate, and then lead the cavalry to meet them and take a bite before leaving - no matter what the outcome of the battle, the troops must pretend to be defeated.
Take the opportunity to transfer to the east and continue reconnaissance. Even if we find nothing, we must tear the enemy's advance route to pieces when we return!"
"Why are you going?" Roman stood at the door of the tent and shouted at Chatai's back.
"Strive for fame and fortune!" Cha Tai's words were so tactful for the first time. He was obviously in a good mood.
"Bah! Shameless!" Brigadier General Roman finished cursing in a low voice. He turned around and found someone standing next to him. He immediately let out a shameless but heroic laugh, and then ordered sternly, "Herald, gather here quickly!
"
Soon, the First Front Army completed its preparations, and the infantry and the troops behind were ordered to evacuate. The cavalry, which had been recuperating, was assembled and moved in the direction of the enemy's reinforcements - as for the
The supply base was riddled with holes, and they didn't even know that the enemies outside were evacuating. Even if they knew, they would think it was a trick by the Sibians.
Although the previous reinforcements had achieved some results, Roman was not satisfied because the record accumulated piecemeal was difficult to compare with the record of the veteran troops. For this battle, the First Front Army worked very hard and used five cavalry regiments.
.
The thing is so strange, some people never learn to be smart even after being scolded, but some people will make great progress as long as they suffer a loss.
Brigadier General Roman belongs to the second type of person. After being trained, he performed beyond his level. He comprehensively considered the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and ourselves, and made several plans based on the battlefield environment. He was confident that under the excuse of "losing the enemy", he would fight hard.
tear off a piece of each other's flesh!
The assembled cavalry set off, and the staff chose a suitable location for the battlefield. Each unit took advantage of the darkness and successfully entered the ambush area. The magicians were even more busy. They wanted to clear out the enemy's hidden sentries that might exist around them - some troops even brought some
Domesticated small animals were placed on the roadside, and bird cages were hung in the woods. We strived to make the details perfect.
The air outposts continued to report the enemy's whereabouts, and the liaison department received an endless stream of supplementary information.
The prince's little boy is officially named the Independent Sixth Army of the Merchant Army, or the Independent Sixth Army for short. Its combat effectiveness is at the top level among the Merchant Army. The commander has never changed, and it is the Prince of Tansi adopted by Ulysses.
She has many children, and the age span between the eldest son and the youngest son is close to thirty years - it depends on whether the child a certain lady gives birth to after three months is a boy or a girl.
However, this adopted son was adopted by the prince when he was fifteen years old, and he was older than his eldest son. He stayed with the prince all the time, and only returned to his hometown when he became an adult, secretly building an army. He called himself the prince's son, and because
When the prince's family was in crisis, they stepped forward with the troops and provided support across half of the empire, just like slaves, so the troops were given this nickname.
For some reasons that are difficult to publicize, the Independent Sixth Army received assistance and training from Sbia during the rebellion. At that time, the Liaison Department was mainly responsible, and other departments sent people to participate. Therefore, for this army, regardless of
Whether it is the composition of the arms or the combat skills and tactics, Sibia knows very well. Objective evaluation results show that the combat power of the Duliu Sixth Army is equivalent to that of the Fifth Army. According to Sibia's standards, they belong to the old, weak, sick and disabled.
.
This added confidence to Brigadier General Roman, but for the sake of the overall situation, he still did not let his delusions dominate him. Take one bite and leave, which is the creed of the light cavalry and the safest way at present. He even thought from another angle and felt
Sending a wounded unit to the front line will also provide support to the friendly forces behind.
The enemy's marching speed was relatively fast among the Merchant Corps, and their formations also had a vague Sibiya style. However, the keen scouts soon discovered that it was just a rough imitation, and there were many things that should have been paid attention to.
The details were not done, which shows that they have not mastered Sibiya's exquisite combat skills, but are just copying a cat.
"The enemy's advance troops are approaching the second-level lurking sentry! The march is normal and the leading troops have passed!"
"The enemy's advance troops have entered the battlefield identification range! No abnormalities, the strength of the troops is confirmed, the total number is four thousand!"
"The types of enemy advance troops have been confirmed! One thousand light cavalry, three reconnaissance teams, and four rapid infantry battalions!"
"The enemy's advance troops entered our ambush circle, and the troops showed no signs of deployment!"
Watching the enemy's advance troops enter the ambush circle, Brigadier General Roman slowly raised his hand in the dense forest, his confident face a bit solemn. The herald watched his movements intently, his lips were a little dry.
Roman frowned: "How far is the enemy's main force?"
"The latest notification is twenty-three miles!" the staff officer replied, "it is a safe distance."
Brigadier General Roman nodded, moved his palm down, and the order came out: "Attack!"
The shrill sound of arrows flew high into the sky, followed by a group of arrows that covered the sky, and on the ground, thousands of troops brandished their swords and guns and began to attack! (To be continued)
