Different World Development Manual Chapter 135: I made a big dumpling
It's been a week since the back road was cut off. Auli was fidgeting and pacing back and forth in the tent, looking at the sheepskin map unfolded on the table, and muttering, "How can this be good?" How can this be good."
Due to the food poisoning of the Duke Capey, he returned to the Duke Capey with good luck, so that Aoli, a mediocre person, became the commander of the coalition army, and suddenly felt chaotic.
A soldier walked into the big account and reported: "Your Highness! Here comes Earl Thomas!"
Aoli was overjoyed, and said quickly: "Hurry up!"
Thomas was injured in the battle 9 days ago, but as a titan of the Duke of Cape Cape, plus a battle with the Demon King's Army, Oli is now quite dependent on Thomas.
I saw Thomas with a bandage on his left shoulder, and he entered the military tent accompanied by a few soldiers.
Aoli cared: "Earl Thomas, your arm is okay."
Thomas nodded: "Thank your Highness for your concern. Fortunately, it's just that I can't go to battle personally for the time being to kill the enemy."
Aoli breathed a sigh of relief: "It doesn't matter if you don't kill the enemy, let's command the army behind."
Thomas grumbled his face and nodded in response. Thinking back to the battle a few days ago, what Thomas was looking for was a battle he had never encountered in his life.
The army of 50,000 people was wiped out almost half in an instant. The Demon King's army was far more powerful than Thomas imagined, and it was simply not something their army of 550,000 could handle alone.
Aoli asked: "Earl Thomas, what should we do now? Should we return?"
go back?
Of course it’s impossible. Although Thomas is injured, he can always get the latest news from the soldiers.
Zovia Fort, Onye Fort, Bark Town, and Gaga Village fell in less than half a day and was occupied by the Demon King Army, completely cutting off the connection with the outside world of the coalition army.
The external reinforcements could not be reached, and the grain and grass could not be transported in. At this time, the entire army had completely fallen into a state of being cut off.
The coalition forces whose grain and grass had been burnt, and the emperor urgently urged Deherbas to move in, the coalition forces hurriedly pulled out of the camp, and the grain and grass they had prepared were simply insufficient.
Judging from the current situation, the coalition’s food and grass can last for up to 2 days before it will fall into a state of total food shortage.
Even if it is changed to a distribution system, mixed with wheat husk and sawdust, it will not last a week.
The coalition forces have also tried to break through to the rear, but the strength of the Demon King's army, after the three-day breakout battle, the coalition forces lost 90,000 soldiers in vain, and even the Demon King's defense line failed to break through.
The subsequent breakouts died down, and the morale of the entire coalition army plummeted, and it was impossible to organize a new wave of breakouts.
The worse situation is not only the case. The Imperial Forces from the north were unable to break through the Demon King’s northern defense line composed of Fort Anri, Fallen Hill, Fort Zovia, and Fort Onye. , Can not give any support to the coalition forces.
The Demon King’s Army formed a ring with Fallen Hill, Fort Zovia, Fort Onye, Balk Town, Gaga Village, Alan’s Shield, and Windmill Town, and the morale of the remaining 430,000 of the coalition army was depressed. The army surrounded the regiment.
Thomas shook his head: "It's not easy to handle. The three-day breakout has suffered heavy casualties. The morale of our army is low. It is impossible to organize a new breakout in a short period of time. The army must rest.
In addition, the demon king army seems to be staring at our army entourage to attack. Once the battle with the demon king army begins, those entourage wizards will also become their first targets.
so that the magicians in the army have gradually developed a bit of fear for the Demon King Army, and they are not very willing to fight the Demon King Army.
His Royal Highness, I have no choice but to rest for another week. After I find a way to restore the morale of the coalition forces, I can break through again. "
However, Aoli was calculating with his fingers in his heart, with a bitter melon look on his face: "Your Excellency Earl, it’s not appropriate. Our grain can’t last for such a long time. The grain officer told me that the current grain can only It has been maintained for 3 days."
Thomas pondered for a moment and said: "His Royal Highness, the only way to do this is to organize a wave of 50,000 conscripts to break out of Fort Zovia in the north, and'release' these 50,000 people to reduce our food and grass consumption. Amount."
Aoli is mediocre, but he is kind-hearted, and Yuxin can’t bear to say: "50,000 levies? Isn’t this for them to send it?"
Thomas shook his head helplessly: "There is no way, 50,000 people, that's 50,000 mouths.
Send them to the Demon King Army, and we may be able to extend our breathing space. If we don’t send them, we’ll wait to starve to death. "
After thinking about it for a long time, Aoli finally agreed to Thomas’ proposal, but can these 50,000 people really solve their own food gap?
Thomas also saw the doubts in Aoli’s heart, and soon came out of his plan tray: "His Royal Highness, please mix wheat husks and sawdust into the food to overcharge.
In this case, our food and grass will be enough to support 380,000 people for more than a week. "
Oli doubted: "Do you not worry about mutiny by doing this?"
Aoli said: "This can only be done. The big deal is to push this pot on the grain officer, saying that he is greedy for ink, grain and grass, and sells it to nearby merchants privately, making the country difficult for money.
In order to avoid the detection of bad traces, a large amount of wheat husks and wood chips are mixed in the grain to fill the amount, resulting in insufficient supply of our grain and grass. "
Aoli hesitated: "Is it okay to do this?"
Thomas nodded affirmatively: "It is possible. Finally, we were discovered by the grazing officer's misdeeds. We cut off his head, gave the soldiers a good meal, and boosted their morale. Then, we can sway the army to Zovia. Fort has launched a breakthrough.
Zovia Fort is close to the Duke of Capet, and you will enter Capet if you walk slightly north for less than 20 kilometers.
The coalition breaks through Fort Zovia, and can get the support of Lord Duke as soon as possible. "
Thomas’ suggestion is very pertinent. If you follow Thomas’ plan, break through Fort Zovia and get the reinforcements of the seven lords in the empire, the coalition forces are likely to survive.
Aoli readily accepted Thomas’ proposal and approved Thomas’ plan.
"Your Excellency, please arrange for a 50,000 levy to go to Fort Zovia..."
Thomas slightly nodded, covering his bandaged shoulder: "Please rest assured, your highness, I will make arrangements, the coalition forces will not die."
Although Aoli and Thomas chose to place the breakthrough in Fort Zovia, what they didn't know was that the Li Long subordinate of the first regiment was stationed at Fort Zovia, a mechanized synthetic regiment.
Relying on the fortifications built by Fort Zovia, guarding all the main roads from the north to the south, it seems that the increase in the imperial army is outside.
Looking at Lu, who came down from the north one after another and bumped his head into his defense, Li Long smiled with satisfaction.
Behind him surrounded the 430,000 empire army, and it seemed that the empire would not let this 430,000 army be left alone.
This is also in line with the military's intentions. It is the traditional tactics that cpa is best at. These are some of the traditional tactics that Cpa is best at~IndoMTL.com~ Now it is at the point of assistance, cutting off Cape and Flo The supply line of Lance's coalition forces has completely turned them into a turtle in the urn.
And the emperor outside was bumping head-on one after another, hitting his head with blood, and there was no way to stop.
Cpa’s away game, coupled with the fact that there is no practice in the terrain, people and geography are not on the cpa’s side.
so that the troublesome cpa had to fight steadily and did not dare to take radical measures rashly.
cpa is not in a hurry to eat the 430,000 army in the encirclement, and slowly consume it, waiting for the 430,000 army to surrender by itself.
As the roads of Mobei Province continue to be paved toward the north, the supply of cpa in the empire will also be greatly eased.
siege instead of attacking, besieging points and hitting aid is the strategy at this stage.
At this time, a non-commissioned officer reported: "Report!"
"Speak."
"The unmanned reconnaissance aircraft found a coalition force of more than 50,000 people marching towards Fort Zovia in the south.
Judging from their tattered clothing and crude weapons, this 50,000-strong army should be a conscripting force in the coalition. "
Li Long nodded: "Did you break through? Or gave it away?"
But it doesn’t matter. The 38th group has good teeth and a good appetite. Li Long immediately ordered: "Prepare to eat this unit in one bite."
"Yes!"
