vs 12 Turning war
Bowenwright's serious words made Dori, who had just been relieved, immediately nervous again.
"You mean to say..."Dori swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "The million-strong army of the Undead Legion has arrived outside my defensive line?"
"The Undead also have teleportation arrays, and they also have a lot of tools to transport troops... If you were the commander on the opposite side, would you choose to retreat under an overwhelming offensive of absolute superiority?" Bowenwright said this and then stopped explaining, "His Majesty the Emperor's order is to hold on for three days, and in these three days..."
"We can't hold out for three days!" General Dori cautiously looked around to the left and right, and said in a low voice, "On this narrow defensive line, this little force in our hands is like falling leaves in the wind to the million-strong army of the undead army. ”
Bowenwright didn't seem to hear the general's reminder, he silently looked at the military map on the stone table in the simple war room as if he was thinking, and after half a sound, he raised his head and glanced at the nearby staff officer, "You guys go out first." ”
The two Imperial Staff Officers did not hesitate to leave the room when they heard the order, and then the other Felder Staff Officers also left one after another at Dori's signal.
"The Battle of the Plains Line must be fought, but it is a battle that is doomed to failure. Bowenwright stared at Dori, "If you want to apply for withdrawal now, I can now lead the High Command of the War Zone on behalf of the Confederate Felder to approve your application." ”
Dori's eyes shrank, and he stared at Bowenlight for a while, "Emperor Pedi is going to give up the Plains Defense Line?"
"No, it's a Confederate decision. "Bowenlet corrected Dori's words very seriously," agreed General Thranduil and Lord Rue-Ize. ”
"Since you're going to give up..."
"This battle was the first after the Allied forces formally signed the agreement. Bowenright interrupted Dori, "So, while this battle has no chance of winning, the Confederates can't give up at the beginning. ”
"I... I see. The corners of Dori's mouth were bitter, "That means we can't have reinforcements, and the reinforcements promised by General Thranduil and Emperor Pedi before are fake?"
"Don't worry, His Majesty the Emperor is not asking us to defend it. "The deep zone between the Plains Line and Fort Tillmanburg would have allowed us to defend easily for three days or more. ”
"I don't like wars like this!" Dori took a deep breath, "it makes me feel like I'm a tool that I can throw away." ”
"Soldiers can't choose the battlefield, even if it's a doomed war, it has its meaning of existence!"
"The responsibility for the defeat of the first battle after the official formation of the Allied Army is not..."
"I will be responsible for this war, that's why I'm here, you're just the executor. Bowenwright saw Dori's concern.
"You—" Dory looked at Bowenwright in surprise.
"Yes, it's me!"

1220 Continental Calendar, August 16, 10 a.m.
On the narrow defense line of the plain under the blue sky and the blue sky of Felder's leadership in the northwest region, a million undead army frantically attacked the passes of the plain defense line with a sweeping momentum.
The clear, turquoise sky was darkened by the evil energy carried by the undead legions, like an evil god churning the clouds in deep space, with an aura that made the living awe and fear.
After five hours of bloody fighting between the two sides on the narrow defensive line, the Allied left flank was blasted open by the explosive corpses rained down by the undead legion's airship.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Confederate Army of the Line, led by Bowenley, retreated fifty miles back and re-established the line.
The next day, in the early hours of August 17, the Allied defensive line formed in the mountains and rivers was again defeated, and Bowenright immediately led the remaining Allied army of less than 30,000 to retreat to the town of Shuangmu north of Fort Tillmann.
This time, however, the Undead Legion camped outside the Fort Tillman area and did not pursue any further.
The former headquarters of the Allied Plains Defense Line, and now the forward command post of the Undead Legion, Enhi-Ella frowned and thought with a human skin map in his hand.
The rout of the Confederates was much faster than he had imagined, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"What are you hesitating about?" Chief Archmage Sharp, who returned from Enhi-Ella's order to 'pause advance', "One more minute of your hesitation now will give the Allies one more chance." ”
"Before the Battle of the Plains Line, my followers told me that the Confederates had a good chance of reinforcing the Plains Line. Enshi Ella put down the map in his hand and laid it on a flat stone surface, "I think so too, because this is the first battle of the Confederate army, and whether it is political necessity or morale of the army, Pedy Reagan will not give up this battle." ”
But in fact, the newly crowned emperor gave up the first battle of his imperial career. Sharp was also full of incredulity, "An interesting emperor, he is more pragmatic than us!"
"It's not easy to deal with. Enhi-Ella shook her head slightly, "And... He had a myriad of generals around him who could fight well, and he couldn't compare to the fool of Laubert. ”
"So... What are you thinking about right now?" Sharp didn't want to dwell on the issue any longer.
"Originally, I thought that I could inflict heavy damage on the main force of the Alliance on the Plains Battlefield, and then quickly occupy the entire Felder Territory, and use the resources of the Felder Territory to extend the evil energy to the Suk Plain and the sea. Enhi-Ella thought in a whisper, "But Pedy Reagan chose not to move, the Confederate losses are now almost negligible, and if we continue to advance towards Felder Territory as originally planned, we will be surrounded by Confederate forces when we occupy Felder Territory." ”
"Do you want to change your mind and turn around and attack the fortress at the mouth of the Manwes Gorge?" Sharpe looked at Enshi Ella earnestly.
"What do you think?"
"What do you say?" Sharp's eyes flashed with a hint of blue fire, and his tone was serious and warning, "At this time, if you choose to attack the mouth of Manwes Canyon, your position as commander will immediately be questioned by everyone, including me. ”
"Of course," Sharp glared at Enshi Ella, "I'll agree with your suggestion, and I'd like to see how you admit your mistakes." ”
"I'm just thinking about it. Enshi Ella ignored Sharp's teasing, "The area between Fort Bandara, Fort Tillman, and the Manwis Gorge will be a key point in our future war with the Allies..."
"Everybody knows this!"
"Now this area is in our hands, and... I'm sure Tilmanburg can be easily taken if we want to. Enhi-Ella said as she quickly jotted down her thoughts with a pen, "So, our original plan to capture Felder Territory and use this territory as bait had to be slightly modified. ”
"You have supreme command. Sharp said in a casual tone, "So... You have the final say in this war. ”
"Attack Fort Tillmann at once, take the castle in three days, and then quickly advance to Feld City!" Enhi Ella decided.
"Go ahead with the original plan?"
"Yes, but... The details have to be changed, the bait that was originally set for Felder City has to be changed to Tillmanburg!" Enshi Ella mused, "Leaving a third of the army behind, I will continue the unfinished decisive battle with the Confederate forces at Tillmanburg. ”
"But I don't think Pedy Reagan is going to go on the offensive for a month. Sharp looked at Enshi Ella very seriously.
Enshi Ella disagreed, "We also need time, as long as we have the Feld Territory in our hands, we can open the sea route, this vast territory plus the deep sea resources can allow us to create a more elite army in a short time!"
