Chapter 114: Two Ways

After a few days' journey, Lian Yunpo was not in a hurry to ask the 70,000 army he led to stop. He himself was not in a hurry at all, just waiting for the spies in front of Sauron to report back.

As for the small towns along the road, he was not in a hurry to occupy them, but just made a detour and continued to move forward.

Lian Yunpo has only one purpose for this, and that is to never let his army be distracted. They now have only one target, which is Shen Mengting's 50,000 Salan troops who are still retreating.

The three days of rushing in a row still made the soldiers a little tired, but Lian Yun knew that it was necessary. Only by firmly locking on the target can we maintain the momentum of just leaving the camp. Otherwise, they will lose before they fight.

Moreover, it can be seen from the fact that the spies sent out have not yet returned, and Shen Mengting's retreat has not stopped. Since Saran didn't choose to stop, how could Sauron rest first like throwing in the towel?

Therefore, Lian Yunpo continued to urge the army to move forward until he completely locked on Shen Mengting's troops in Saran.

As a result, after about three days, the persistence finally paid off. General Li Shuangjue is finally back, and he has brought exciting news.

"I've surveyed Saran's troops, and they're stationed south of the Great Creek Valley in the center. ”

After hearing this information, Lian Yunpo also quickly asked the army to start camping and stopping without saying a word, and it had been four days since they officially set foot in the territory of Saran.

It can be said that the current situation on the front is a bit complicated, because of the retreat of the Saran troops to the northeast, so Lian Yunpo also led the troops to pursue there. In the absence of war at all, the battle line moved from the border to a little south of the very center of the Saran territory.

Those who are familiar with the territory of Saran know that there is a Grand Canyon in the middle of the country. And the reason why Shen Mengting stationed his troops to the south of the canyon must be that he could no longer retreat.

For if you want to continue to the northeast, you will have to climb over a large ravine. That was a fatal blow to the army that had been on the march for several days. Therefore, Shen Mengting estimated that she didn't dare to take risks, so she hastily stationed her troops in the south of the canyon.

But Lian Yun is quite clear about one thing, Shen Mengting's goal has almost been achieved. The reason this woman was going to retreat in the first place was precisely because she wanted to lure Sauron's forces over. And now, her purpose has clearly been achieved.

Lian Yunpo looked deeply to the northeast, and he shouted out from the bottom of his heart: "Shen Mengting, let's have a decisive battle here!"

The encampment of the troops behind him is also in full swing. From now on, within this range, there is already Sauron's control domain. Lian Yunpo and his Sauron troops will also use this meeting center to start sending some troops backwards, so that they can occupy all the towns along the way.

From the analysis of the current situation, although Shen Mengting's goal has been achieved, the price she has paid is also huge. With the retreat of the Yokoga military camp led by her, it can be said that the large territory controlled by their Saran has fallen.

According to the map and estimates, it may be that the southwest of the entire Saran country has already reached the control of Lian Yunpo. In other words, Shen Mengting's previous aggressive strategy had caused Saran to lose a quarter of its territory.

Lian Yunpo chuckled a few times at this, and he also knew something. As long as he is willing to do so, he can send troops back at any time to occupy those small towns.

His subsequent actions were indeed the same, and after almost consulting with the generals, he began to allocate the quotas.

The generals were divided into two groups as a whole, Sun Junfeng himself was a separate group, and Zhang Zhijie, Zhu Qi and Lu Lei were another group. The two groups faced west and south, occupying the town they passed.

As for Li Shuangjue, he followed Lian Yunpo to stay in the barracks.

Lian Yunpo predicted that this operation would not last long, because Saran's resistance had been formed into an entire army by Shen Mengting, which meant that there was no resistance in some towns. As long as a few small teams of men are dispatched, the goal of complete occupation can be achieved.

Some orders were issued at random, and most of the four generals gladly accepted them. Because they don't have anything to do at the moment, and they are idle anyway when the new camp has not yet been stationed. They then very much hoped that they could take action to show that they would be rewarded for their military exploits in the future.

However, there are still some generals who question this, and Lu Lei is one of them.

"Marshal Lian, I have no intention of resisting the order. But...... But I always feel ...... I think ......" Lu Lei looked a little speechless.

Lian Yunpo immediately raised his hand to signal that he could say anything clearly, and then praised Fan Lu Lei's rectal character.

In this way, Lu Lei did not hesitate to say his words, "Tell Marshal Lian, I just think that since there are not many Saran soldiers to defend the southwest town of Salan, then why do we need a few generals to occupy it in person? ”

"Hey, Lu Lei! What do you think the tasks assigned by the marshal do? What do you mean by sending some people at the rank of lieutenant, do you want to resist the tasks assigned by Marshal Lian?" Sun Junfeng hurriedly stimulated the equally young general opposite.

But Lu Lei didn't do it, I saw him wave his hand horizontally excitedly, "I'm just putting forward some opinions, why do you say that I want to resist the marshal's order!"

"That's not what I said, I'll tell you......"

"That's enough! Let's say a few words!" Lian Yunpo's sudden roar really caused the two young people who were arguing to stop, "If you have anything in the future, you have to think about how to discuss and solve it, instead of quarreling." After accusing the two of them again, Lian Yunpo relaxed his face.

Trying to lick his lower lip, Lian Yunpo turned his face to Sun Junfeng again, "General Sun Junfeng! Don't always want to raise the bar with your teammates in the future." If you really have any opinions, you have to talk about them well, do you hear them?"

Lian Yunpo's tone is not very heavy, but it has an irresistible taste. Seeing this, Sun Junfeng could only nod obediently in agreement, although he still had a somewhat unwilling look on his face, it didn't take long for it to fade away.

Then, Lian Yunpo officially turned his body towards Lu Lei, "General Lu Lei, your proposal is very insightful, and I can understand your thoughts." But here, I still want to explain to you the importance of military action. ”

After a slight pause, Lian Yunpo also moved his mouth again, but during his speech, his gaze did not deviate from Lu Lei's goal at all, "As far as the current situation is concerned, we are still in a relatively dangerous situation. If we can't quickly occupy a few small towns around us, it will be like going deep alone. So now you get the idea, the task of capturing the surrounding towns is not difficult, but it's very important. Since it is very, very important. How can I just send a few lieutenant-level generals to complete the mission?" Lowering his head, Lian Yunpo quickly stepped forward, "I have to send the most important person, the most powerful character in the army, to complete the mission. Now you get it?"

Lian Yunpo really said a long list of words, and Lu Lei felt even more suddenly when he heard it. He took a deep breath and leaned forward, "Ah! Sorry, Generalissimo, it was I who underestimated the importance of capturing the town. I'm sorry, I'm going to do what you said and complete the task myself. ”

Lian Yun nodded with a smile when he heard this, "Well! If you know what you're doing wrong, just admit it. In the future, I'm going to have to work extra hard to complete the orders I issued, understand?"

Lu Lei immediately nodded violently, "Well, I understand." ”

"Okay, let's go about our own business!"

With the wave of General Lian Yunpo's big hand, all the generals shouted the word 'yes' in unison.

The task was really not difficult for them, but Lian Yunpo issued the most important warning from it.

"Yes, I know it's hard for you to do something so simple. But you all have to keep one thing in mind for me. I understand that you are all the leaders of the kingdom of Sauron, and you can all be called elite. Perhaps you are extremely arrogant in your face with the people of Saran. But you all must remember one thing, no matter what is said within the Saran Kingdom, we are human beings, and I have also made an order in the general direction before, that is, to adopt a gentle government [river crab] policy against the people. Therefore do not injure the lives of the people of Saran at will. As a last resort, try not to make a move. Now that there are almost no guards in the towns, you can't use force at all. You should do as much as you can, so that those Saranites willingly join us in the arms of Sauron. ”

After speaking, Lian Yunpo did not forget to point out a few times to the generals to emphasize his own remarks.

The four generals all shouted a 'yes' in unison.

After hearing this, Lian Yun naturally showed a smile of satisfaction, "Okay, you all go about your own errands! I believe that it won't take many days for you to come over with the news of the occupation." And then......" he suddenly straightened his face, and there was a lot of sharp black stains in his two pupils, "and then when you return, we will attack the newly stationed camp together." ”

It can be regarded as a very loud word, and one of Lian Yunpo's hands is raised.

The generals quickly followed up with a few 'yes' words, and their expressions were also in a state of excitement.

Almost thinking that it was okay, the two groups of people left the place with a few troops.

They don't have a lot of troops, which is really helpless, because their current supply lines are not abundant, and in the absence of new supplies, it is better to use fewer troops.

Therefore, the two groups of people each brought about 2,000 men and horses. However, their departure did not cause any attrition in the total army, which numbered as many as 70,000. A mere 4,000 soldiers, compared to the entire 70,000, is like a fur of the dead.

Lian Yunpo nodded at the people who had gone away, and began to set up camp. He knew that he was the core of the entire army, and as long as the barracks here were built, it would be equivalent to having a base area.

Looking at the soldiers who were constantly working, Lian Yunpo selected the leader among them and asked, "Comrade Second Lieutenant, how is the construction of the barracks?"

The second lieutenant who was asked was simply flattered, and he also answered the question of his immediate boss after standing still, "Tell Marshal Lian, I have almost completed thirty percent of the work." ”

"Oh, Sancheng, you're moving pretty fast!" Lian Yunpo turned his head and glanced around.

The soldiers who were working were indeed doing reliable things, and they had basically set up a few simple hoods from this white vast area. Of course, the wooden fences around the perimeter are also working accordingly.

At this rate, I believe that the barracks will be almost finished before dark. Lian Yunpo nodded slightly, and thought about the decisive battle with the other party, "Shen Mengting, you don't have to worry, I will come to you immediately as you wish, and have a shocking battle with you." ’

The corners of Lian Yunpo's mouth were hooked, and he thought that Shen Mengting had always wanted to introduce the Sauron soldiers into the territory so that they could be eliminated together. But judging from the current situation, Saran is really stealing chickens and rice. The two groups of men sent by Lian Yunpo will basically be able to sweep all the towns in the rear soon.

In this case, Nasaran's so-called strategy of cutting off the supply of Sauron's army and then sending troops to annihilate it can be described as a joke.

Lian Yun was getting more and more excited, and he was already looking forward to it, waiting for Shen Mengting to see this war when he learned that the obstacles in the rear had been cleared.

The excessive feeling of excitement made Lian Yunpo start to laugh weirdly. He touched his hand to the hilt of the sword at his waist, and slowly walked a few steps to the east, "Shen Mengting, are you ready? And if you think you can beat us with the same luck as you did the first two times, then you could be very wrong. It's this time...... "his foot took a step forward, and it was the ground that he touched with force," "and this time, I'm going to let you try the biggest failure of your life." I also want you to know that war is not so simple. I want you to understand one more thing...... What a foolish thing to rebel against our Sauron Empire. ”
