Chapter Forty-Eight: Flooding

Erne Frontier, Camp Talon.

Lately, Srock has been feeling an inexplicable sense of unease, and there has been no major movement on the side of Erne's army for several days. Except for the occasional harassment of the Ernne cavalry every day, there is basically no trace of the Ernne army.

"Is it because I'm thinking too much, or what's wrong, no, I can't sit still like this. Thinking of this, Srock knew what he had to do.

"General, news has come from the front line of the other four countries, and when the countries attacked the city, they found that the resistance of the fortresses of various countries had not been reduced, so the Erne army should have used a suspicious tactic before. ", reported his general.

"Damn Elier, I'll make you pay. The order goes down, the whole army is in formation, and I will conquer Teneo. Srock's angry voice spread throughout Camp Talen.

It didn't take long for an army of more than 200,000 to be assembled. In order to achieve the purpose of the raid, Slok left hundreds of thousands of troops to stay in the camp and guard important supplies.

He led his army to prepare for a surprise attack overnight like Elier, and even ordered all his soldiers to abandon their heavy armor and bring only five days' dry rations with each of them in order to ensure the mobility of the army.

"Elaire, I didn't expect it, tonight is your end. Riding on a galloping warhorse, Srock thought.

This is also in line with Srock's usual combat style, which is suspicious and indecisive in times of uncertainty. But once he decides on something, he will attack decisively without a trace of delay.

Under the sun, Slok was in high spirits at this moment, with hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, rushing to the Tenio Fortress, as if everything was under control.

Unfortunately, this time he met General Elaire, an old man who was more fox than a fox.

After Srock left, the entire Tallon camp was taken over by his lieutenant Kenny.

As one of Srock's most trusted lieutenants, Kenny's ability is unquestionable, which is a big reason why Srock gave him the task of staying behind in the rear.

Because Srock believed that even if he lost the battle on the front line, as long as Kenny was in the rear, he would still be able to get out of the way.

It's a pity that he was going to be disappointed this time, Srock never dreamed that one day his rear would be buried in the perfect camp he had planned.

On the first day after Srock left the camp, everything was the same as before, and everyone thought it would be another ordinary day. It wasn't until the flood swept over him that Tarun realized what hell on earth was.

The flood first quickly swept through the camp on the left side of the Tarun army, and everything was so caught off guard that the soldiers on the left were instantly swallowed by the torrent before they could react.

The soldiers of the Chinese army were the first to realize the arrival of the flood because the camp was located on a hillside.

Looking at the camp on the left that was engulfed in an instant, Kenny's first thought was to immediately send someone to inform the troops on the right to evacuate quickly.

However, it was too late, and the messengers did not survive the flood, and disappeared into the torrent along the way, along with the friendly forces on the right.

"It's over, it's over", Kenny instinctively panicked at the sight of a field of grief in front of him.

But as a good general, he soon calmed down again.

"Now that it has happened, no matter how much I panic, I can't change the established facts, what I need to do now is to stabilize the situation and minimize the losses. ”

Kenny reminded himself over and over again.

The flood gradually surged, and although the water level continued to rise, it did not finally submerge the hillside where the Chinese army was located.

Anyway, at least not all of them were wiped out, and maybe that's the only thing Kenny can be thankful for.

Once the flood waters stabilized, Kenny began to organize the rescue of the soldiers who had fallen into the water.

In fact, many soldiers were able to find some wood or some floating supplies, and they were lucky enough to survive the flood.

But as the rescue work continued, slowly, the small hill was already crowded with people, and it was no longer possible to accommodate the soldiers who were still soaked in the water.

In the face of life and death, the selfishness of human nature begins to be exposed.

The soldiers in the water began to try to pull the people on the shore into the water so that they could gain a place on the hillside.

As the struggle continued to ferment, the whole army began to be chaotic, and more and more soldiers were pulled into the water by their companions in the water, and the Taren soldiers in the water were also competing with each other for the opportunity to go ashore, and no one would let anyone go ashore easily.

As time went on, there were fewer and fewer people on the shore, and there were more and more corpses in the water, and the scene was completely out of control.

In desperation, General Kenny ordered the men on the shore to draw their weapons and expel the surviving companions from the water, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Looking at the soldiers who were floating on the water with their logs in their arms, Kenny couldn't help but sigh.

Kenny doesn't know how many of these people survived, but none of them survived, and he was one of their killers, but he had no choice.

A lot of times, wars are like that.

As the slaughter progresses, you'll go from wanting to protect everyone at the beginning, to protecting most of the people, and eventually you'll become the kind of general who will sacrifice a few people in order to save the majority.

Relying on the words of the king to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither.

I think this poem best reflects the cruelty of war at this moment.

This flood caused heavy losses to the Tarun army, and the remaining army of 100,000 was now less than 50,000 horses, and almost all the strategic materials were swept away by the flood.

"Inform General Slok and tell him that there is an urgent need in the rear and that he should retreat immediately. A few days later, when the flood waters had subsided and everything had stabilized, General Kenny hurriedly gave the order.

General Slok was still on his way to Tenio Fortress, and by the time he received the news, it was already several days later, and that was the crucial moment for him to attack Tenio Fortress, but that was for another time.

Erne Frontier, Tenio Fortress.

It's been a while since the floodgates were opened yesterday, and judging by the news from the sentries on the front, Tarun's army should have been surrounded by floods.

According to General Elier's speculation, the Tarun army has suffered heavy losses this time, if not all of them, and it is time for him to put the finishing touches on it.

If he mobilized his army now, he would be able to reach Tarun's camp in about two or three days. By that time, the flood should have receded, just in time to wipe out the remaining Talen soldiers.

If the plan succeeds, Tarun will be completely denied the threat to Erne, and he will be able to free up his own hands from Tenio Fortress to aid the rest of the fortress.

Then use the same method to break the remaining four countries one by one, completely disintegrate the five-nation alliance, and once again establish Erne's hegemony.

It's a pity that fate is such a thing, as always, I like to joke with people, Elaire never thought that the rest of the thing is really interesting.
