When the news of the fish-man landing in the south reached Durian City, Xiao Ru was feeding the koi fish with old Charles.

The train stopped and stopped along the way, and it took two days to reach the station north of Durian City.

This station was an important railway junction, as the railway traveled west through an area with fewer monsters on the southern edge of the southern Jukai Sea and then straight to the kingdom of Rurik.

Due to secrecy, this area has been off-limits to humans, and Charles was the first human to arrive after the railroad was built.

After arriving at the station, the brigades prepared to rest in the station for a few days, in order to avoid the leakage of the news of the "Lying Grass Ridge Annihilation Battle", the soldiers were forbidden to go out and contact the outside world during the rest period, and even the letter written by Charles before was detained for a while before it could be sent.

However, little Charles was called away by the old Charles's housekeeper as soon as possible, and Munch was released immediately.

As a result, Xiao Ru just chatted with old Charles for a few words, and the news of the fish-man landing arrived.

Old Charles threw the fish food box aside and said, "You and I go to the headquarters." ”

Xiao Ru immediately got up from his chair and followed behind the striding old Charles.

In the command room, Xiao Ru sat obediently on a stool in the corner. It's a lot bigger here, and Xiao Meng is shivering.

Durian City already has a plan for this attack on the fishmen, and the Southern Theater Command has issued a corresponding order before. Now that the work of clearing the empty room has begun, there is a discussion in the command on how to harass, delay, and weaken the enemy halfway.

It's all old rivers and lakes, and they can't find fault with their plans.

Especially the old Charles, who is thousands of years old, has seen two stubble traversers, and is now about to meet the third stubble traverser.

He just sat there most of the time and didn't speak, only occasionally asking a little question about some key steps.

Just when Bernard, the military commander of Durian City, was about to synthesize the opinions of all parties and make a battle plan, Meng Xinru was named by old Charles, "Boy, if you have any ideas, just say it, don't get bored there." ”

Xiao Ru was stunned, he didn't expect to be named. The problem is that he has nothing to say about tactically, after all, he doesn't have the aura of surrendering wisdom. And technically...... He thought about it, and it seemed that there was really something he could do.

*?? Dividing line?? *

The landing operation commanded by Eugene went well, and he even prepared a set of operations for this purpose.

It's just that as soon as "Shengdong" began, the elven watchtowers on the coast all rode away after giving the signal.

The fishmen, who were in charge of the feint, carefully landed and occupied a place three hundred meters along the coast, and then set up a defensive position.

More than an hour passed, and there was no sign of the elves fighting back.

Eugene, having received the report, thought for a while, and then ordered the whole army to occupy the beachhead as originally planned.

The same is true for the main attack, where the elves run as fast as the swordfish as soon as the fish-men show their heads.

There is a reason why Eugene was promoted and reused by Jenny, as an excellent middle-level officer, his military literacy is still good.

He wanted to build merit, but he wasn't stupid.

Faced with the elves' unusual behavior, Eugene decided to secure the beachhead first, and then send several small units forward to conduct armed reconnaissance.

In the following day, apart from sporadic ambushes, the reconnaissance unit saw no signs of a large-scale counterattack.

When the report of his landing operation reached Jenny, he had only advanced four kilometers for the camp.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's latest order was delivered to the nervous Eugene as soon as possible, along with a set of magical communication equipment.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not reprimand him for his unauthorized actions in the order, Eugene breathed a sigh of relief. Then he, on the orders of the crown prince, attacked ten kilometers from the coast the day after receiving the order.

The offensive could be described as an armed trip, with several teams marching side by side and receiving only a little negligible harassment.

The elves only shot a few arrows, and slipped away before the fish-people could react.

Because of the perennial conflict, more than ten kilometers along the coast is the main battlefield of the two sides, and the elves only temporarily reclaim land in this area to plant some fast-growing vegetables, and pack up their things and run away as soon as there is a little wind and grass.

The fish people didn't find much food along the way, but they did harvest a lot of vegetables, and some chickens and ducks.

The tender vegetables are much better than the kombu dumplings, and the fish are feasting on them during this time.

Because of his previous unauthorized actions, Eugene no longer disobeyed Jenny's orders, and he led his leading troops to a stop at a makeshift farm more than nine kilometers from the coast.

The elves of this farm retreated in a hurry, and the chickens in the coop were still there, and there were plenty of eggs.

The Fishmen don't know how to raise chickens, so they decide to eat them before they starve to death.

Eugene, who was gnawing on chicken legs, ordered the whole army to be prepared to prevent the elves from sneaking attacks, and at night there were light and dark sentries, and he did not remove his armor when he slept.

As a result, no one attacked the fish-people at night, except for mosquitoes.

Eugene, who hadn't slept all night, asked the communications corps to contact the other teams, and the situation on other fronts was the same as here, encountering only sporadic resistance along the way, and no organized counterattacks.

This punch made the fish people very uncomfortable, and the commanders of the various departments asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to continue the attack.

Jenny then vetoed their request and ordered them to set up a defensive stronghold and make sure there were no elven ambushes around.

This order made Eugene very depressed, and after nibbling on the drumsticks of the last chicken on the farm, he ordered several teams of 100 to go five kilometers north for armed reconnaissance.

In the evening, the scouts returned, and they brought back the same news—the elven villages within six to eight kilometers of the north were being evacuated north, and grain, vegetables, and cattle were constantly being transported north, and no regular troops were to be found, except for a few militiamen.

Undecided, Eugene walked out of the room and walked around the farm.

When Eugene passed by the chicken farm, several fish-man soldiers sitting on the ground eating boiled eggs immediately stood up, and one fish-man took half a hard-boiled egg and asked him hopefully: "General, where are we going to grab next?"

Eugene raised his eyebrows, "Where do you want to rob?"

The fish-man said a little excitedly, "I heard from the scouting brothers that the village to the north is transporting things away, and we will be gone if we go too late!"

Eugene didn't answer, turned around and left.

He walked around the farm and found that the soldiers all had the same idea, and they all wanted to hurry north to grab his vote.

Most of the soldiers were from poor backgrounds, and it was impossible to let go of the opportunity to grab the booty.

After returning to the farmhouse that served as the headquarters, Eugene immediately ordered: the second echelon of the nautical mile, which had been used as the vanguard of the encirclement and then used as a counter-encirclement, immediately went ashore and rushed over, and the third echelon of the reserve force was stationed at the beachhead.

The next morning, Eugene sent several teams of 100 men to raid several villages that had not yet retreated north, and at the same time, each team of 100 people followed a team of 100 people to the left and right.

At that time, even if the elves counterattacked, the three hundred-man teams could calmly retreat by covering each other.

In the evening, the teams were all carrying chickens and ducks around their waists, baskets full of grain on their backs, and some of them even drove back with pigs.

One of the teams also found a map of the nearby area.

Eugene saw that no one had died in the elated procession except for a few wounded soldiers, and a large stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

In the evening, Eugene, who was nibbling on a pig's trotter amid the laughter of the warriors, studied the map.

Eleven kilometers ahead of them was a large village, located at a traffic node, with roads leading to the surrounding farms and small villages.

After thinking about it for a while, Eugene decided to take this village tomorrow with the whole army, and then use this village as a base to send raiding teams around.

As for the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it will be enough to report it in the name of armed reconnaissance at that time.
