Chapter 172: More than one threat
Under a loud question from Lian Yunpo, all the generals nodded their heads tightly.
Lian Yunpo was a little relieved about this, he had seen several subordinates so relaxed before, for fear that they would have a sense of slackness. You know, when one side of the war thinks that it has won the game, it is often the most dangerous.
Throughout the ages, I don't know how many people who fought wars were given a Jedi counterattack by the other side when they thought they had won.
Lian Yunpo was afraid that such a situation would happen to his Sauron troops, so he appropriately threw out the threat of the Elia Nation.
However, judging from the overall situation, the current situation is still very good. The Black Dragon Legion sent by Aria earlier is believed to be a helpless move by several high-ranking officials. They didn't need a lot of troops, so they could only harass them with the Black Dragon Legion.
Maybe the Great Commander of Elia and a few executives just want to use the Black Dragon Legion to harass him, so as to give Saran a little respite.
But Lian Yunpo knew that it was only a little delay, and as long as he sent troops again in a few days, the last resistance of Nasaran would be completely over.
Lian Yunpo began to snicker, but he couldn't show it to his subordinates. Now he needs to motivate his subordinates with Elia's possible assistance to prevent them from slacking off.
But there is one thing that Lian Yunpo still cares about, that is, the war cannot be dragged on any longer. If the next attack is unfavorable, perhaps Sauron will also be mired in war.
At that time, the help of the country of Elia will really come with the passage of time.
Before setting out on the expedition, Lian Yunpo was told by the eldest grandson Wenwei that this war to liberate Salan must be fast. Otherwise, not only the elves of the Elia Kingdom, but even the giant clans of the Anadyr Empire in the north and the troll clans of the Eno Kingdom in the south will have abnormal movements.
Therefore, Lian Yun knew that the war would have to be faster, and in almost five days, he would send another army to deal a fatal blow to Sarah. He was confident that within half a month, he would enter the city of Seise in Saran, so that he could completely remove Saran, the biggest stumbling block that had always been regarded as the unification of mankind, before other racial countries reacted.
This is Lian Yunpo's mind, and he is fully prepared.
After a series of decisions, he informed several subordinates, and they listened to it with constant nods.
Of course, Sun Junfeng also suggested whether the total time could be set closer, such as two or three days later, but Lian Yunpo directly refused.
"At the beginning, I set a repair time of ten days, but now it has only been five days, and it is still not easy to move the sword. Although we did not suffer many casualties before, I have already divided my troops to occupy the territory in the rear, which means that now we do not have all the troops in our barracks. Besides, I also hope that the soldiers can have a long time to rest, after all, as long as we move our troops in the future, it will be a long battle to break through the distant Kiyose Castle. ”
Lian Yunpo said it very reasonably, and Sun Junfeng nodded quickly.
After the previous victory, Lian Yunpo not only had to renovate his current troops, but also needed to consider his own rear. Originally, they were also in a state of being alone, and the back road was almost cut off by the Saran.
Fortunately, soon after, the details of the retreat of the two Saran troops in Ishikawa Town and Nara Town were heard. Of course, even if they didn't retreat, Lian Yunpo could send troops to snatch them, after all, they had the advantage now.
And since all the Saran troops in the rear have withdrawn, the vacuum that flows out is the target that Lian Yunpo needs to capture. He immediately dispatched thousands of troops and horses to occupy various towns in the rear. Capture those towns means that all the territories in the rear have become their Sauron's territory.
However, because all the elite soldiers were dispatched, it meant that the strength of Lian Yunpo's military camp was somewhat weakened. So Lian Yunpo decided to wait for those elite missions to be completed, and then gather all his forces to attack Saran.
I believe that those elite soldiers should have completed the task, at least in the past few days, they have been reported to occupy such and such a small town. Lian Yunpo expected to wait another two or three days until all the towns in the rear were occupied. And with the completion of the mission, it means that nearly a quarter of Saran's territory has fallen into the hands of Sauron.
Lian Yun couldn't help but be a little complacent, the success of the battle was really much better than he imagined. But he still didn't want to slack off, he knew that once the rear became safe and the supplies became normal, then he could concentrate on dealing with the Saran soldiers in front of him.
After telling the thoughts in his heart again, Lian Yun slowly walked towards the marshal seat that belonged to him. The subordinates also listened with relish, and were waiting for the war to come again.
It seems that this meeting of generals is coming to an end, as can be seen from the silence of many generals.
But suddenly, a shout from a soldier outside suddenly came. Of course, there are a lot of footsteps mixed in, and it looks a little urgent.
"What's wrong?" Lian Yunpo, who wanted to sit down, quickly walked to the door after hearing the sound.
After an extremely long sound of "...... report", the soldier quickly ran in. From his anxious look, it was clear that the information he had at the moment was by no means insignificant.
As soon as the soldier entered the door, he was supposed to kneel. But Lian Yunpo obviously didn't want to waste much time, so he directly beckoned the soldier not to do anything, even if he said the message he wanted to convey.
So, after the soldier knelt down at the 'plop', he didn't even greet the generals, and directly began to tell the information.
"Report ...... Report!" The soldier was still a little out of breath, but he tried his best to repeat the words clearly, "Just ...... Just received news from Rising Sun City. ”
"Oh, there's news from Shengyang City?" Lian Yunpo immediately sorted out his clothes.
"Yes, Generalissimo. Just now, Shengyang City sent a messenger to come, and he also brought an important letter. The soldier quickly took a letter out of his pocket.
"Take it. Lian Yun habitually stretched out his hand to the front, but considering that the other party was currently kneeling. He quickly walked to the front and took the letter from the soldier.
After getting the letter in his hand, Lian Yunpo directly opened it and looked at it.
Several other generals' subordinates also came over, curious about why the letter was sent from Shengyang City at this time.
Not long after, Lian Yunpo's expression was a little excited, and he even laughed out loud, "Hehe...... Hehe...... Hahahaha...... Hahaha......"
"Marshal Lian, what's wrong?" Sun Junfeng asked curiously.
Lian Yun threw the letter aside with satisfaction, and continued to laugh loudly, "Hahaha...... The eldest grandson is really polite! Reinforcements have arrived again. ”
"Ahh Then, after only a few seconds, he himself burst out laughing, "Ahh
"What's the matter? Shengyang City has sent us reinforcements again?" Zhang Zhijie stared at the letter with straight eyes.
"That's good!" Lian Yun replied rather cheerfully, and he turned around and walked towards the marshal's table, "Shengyang City said that it has added 50,000 troops to our aid. Now that they have all entered the territory of Saran, it is believed that in three days, they will be able to reach our military camp. ”
"What?"
"Ahh
"New aid, or a full army of 50,000?"
Lian Yunpo's words made many generals all shout out with joy.
Lian Yunpo himself sat down on the marshal's table and chair, and straightened his upper body, "Exactly, the assistance of the 50,000-strong army is coming soon." ”
"Ahh......h What a good thing!"
"Indeed, I didn't expect that the reinforcements would increase again, but this time 50,000 people came directly. Zhang Zhijie sighed from the bottom of his heart. Of course, for him, he was more shocked by the strength of the Sauron Kingdom.
"Now our army has expanded to 50,000 men. In other words, we have ...... now," Lian Yun rolled his eyes and put his hands on the table, "There are 120,000 troops in total." ”
"120,000 troops!" Li Shuangjue repeated the number.
The figure of 120,000 is already a relatively large legion. Compared with the previous 30,000 or 50,000 thoughts, it can really be described as a 'big army'.
"We currently have an army of 120,000!" Zhu Qi was also sighing.
"We want to thank Prime Minister Wenwei, the eldest grandson, and of course the credit of King Yingbang is not small. It should be said that every official who supports us in Shengyang City today is the object of our gratitude. It was they who were in the rear that we had the energy to deal with the enemy. Lian Yunpo began to say some polite words.
However, he still has important things to tell next, and his body has become a little forward, "The assistance that Shengyang City has given us this time is not as simple as the 50,000 army. According to the letter, there was also a large amount of grain, grass and weapons. This is a great addition to our army, and we have also left a lot of heavy weapons on the border in order to catch up with the Saran troops. Now, the eldest grandson can help us replenish it. ”
"Ah, yes, the eldest grandson, Prime Minister Cheng is really a capable minister, and he has helped us solve many things. ”
"The excellence of Prime Minister Wenwei is well known, and he can really be regarded as a minister through the ages. Lian Yunpo stood up again at this moment, but his hands were quickly put behind his back, "Okay! Since I have added another 50,000 troops, then the next war will continue to move closer to the simple point." New reinforcements are expected to arrive in about three days. So ......"
After considering the whole thing, Lian Yunpo began to nod his head continuously, "Well, if you count it, you can also catch up with us to attack again in five days." When the 50,000 new reinforcements arrive, we will immediately go and recruit them. And then...... Then we will lead a whole army of 120,000 and attack Saran in one fell swoop. Because he was too excited, Lian Yunpo also added a quick push of his right hand forward.
After hearing this, the generals also immediately responded with the word 'yes', but judging from their eyes, they seemed to be very impatient.
After ordering all his subordinates, Lian Yunpo moved his face to a place where there was no one. Now there is only Shen Mengting in his mind, and he has completely outlined the resolute face of that woman.
'Hehehehehe...... Hehehehe...... Now that our troops have more than 120,000, how can you resist them......? Hehehe......'
"Hahaha...... Hahaha......"
Originally, he was still snickering in his heart, but because he was too excited, Lian Yunpo couldn't hide his laughter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh?
Shen Mengting, who had just recovered from a serious injury, was a little haggard, after all, she had just escaped death. At present, both of her eyelids have sunken, and her face is also a dark color.
It's just that these faces are really insignificant compared to what she heard.
Just now, the spies brought a piece of news to Shen Mengting and the generals that can be described as bad news:
Sauron has confirmed the addition of another 50,000 troops. In other words, the army in Lian Yunpo's hands has now reached as many as 120,000.
Compared with the 17,000 troops currently in his hands, it is like a praying mantis, blocking the opponent's car and walking.
Originally, the situation on Shen Mengting's side was already even worse, not to mention the sharp decrease in the number of soldiers, and a large area of territory was lost. She and all the generals were discussing how to move the strength of both sides to the balance point as much as possible.
Unexpectedly, the spies suddenly brought the news.
Almost after knowing that Sauron had another 50,000 reinforcements, Shen Mengting knew that the predicament on her side was even worse. However, she thought about it, in fact, even without the '50,000 new reinforcements', Saran was still at the absolute weakness of Sauron.
Therefore, after hearing the news, Shen Mengting did not show much shock and despair, and was relatively indifferent overall.
"So, Generalissimo, what are we to do now......? The enemy ......" Deputy Marshal Ma Liming seemed to be unable to speak clearly, and he made a fist salute pushing forward in front of the opponent, but his face was never facing his generalissimo.
Shen Mengting has been in a fairly calm appearance, she slowly turned her body with her hands behind her back, that is, she turned her back to her subordinates, "What else can I do now? ”
"But...... The Sauron Empire can ...... this time But 50,000 new troops were replenished at once! plus the 70,000 they already had. Now the enemy has an army of 120,000!"
"I know that. Shen Mengting quickly turned around, and then turned to the subordinates again, "But what's the point of overemphasizing the enemy's '120,000' number? Don't say anything like '120,000 troops, even if they pull out a '1.2 million army' after that, I will never think it is strange. ”
Shen Mengting's words silenced everyone present, and even Ma Liming, who was the most excited just now, just lowered his head.
Shen Mengting's meaning is very clear, the enemy has always been very strong, and their Saran side is also mentally prepared. Rather than focusing on how powerful the enemy is, think about how to deal with it next.
