Chapter 408: Rivalry
"If Elva is determined to surrender, why did he still inform Yu Benshuai of this news?" Sampu was suspicious and asked, "He faked surrender in order to deceive the trust of the Fifth Legion, and then joined forces with Ben Commander, so he sent you to inform Ben Shuai, right?" ”
Acorin shook his head and said, "Lord Marshal is probably underestimating the Fifth Legion and Higg, and it is simply whimsical to pretend to surrender under their noses!" In fact, the Fifth Army did have the strength to capture Lobit City in one day, but in order to avoid too many casualties on both sides and not want Lobit City to be destroyed, they took the initiative to make peace with Lieutenant Elva. The lieutenant marshal asked me to tell the marshal that he could do his best to save the military families of the Third Theater from the ravages of war, and that this was the last thing he could do for the marshal. In fact, Adjutant Elva did not sacrifice the city of Lobit in the name of surrender, but in the form of a pre-war uprising, forming cooperation with the Fifth Army, which did not fully belong to the Fifth Army, which was one of the conditions for negotiations! ”
Samp gritted his teeth and said, "Elva, this whole ungrateful thing! Don't call him deputy marshal, I don't have such subordinates who are greedy for life and afraid of death, disloyal and unjust! My third war zone has suffered such a great change, how can this commander be worthy of His Majesty's kindness! ”
"Vice-marshal...... Elva asked me to leave the city early, just to remind the marshal to deal with it early, so as not to fall into the two-sided attack of the Fifth Army and Fuxing City! "Elva said, "It is not that he is unfaithful, but that he is loyal only to Erathia, and not to any king, who is loyal to the people of Lobit; It is his righteousness to protect all the military families in the third war zone! ”
"Hmph, you seem to have come to be a lobbyist for Elva, a thief!" Sampu sneered, "Alright, you go down and rest!" ”
"Yes, Marshal!" Acorin hurriedly saluted and retreated, "Lord Marshal, please let me go to the front, I and my subordinates are willing to be the vanguard and help Lord Marshal capture Fuxing City!" ”
"Good!" Sampu nodded and said, "However, you have traveled a long way and are not familiar with the situation on the battlefield in Fuxing City, so it is better to assist in logistics and transportation first, which is also a very important job!" ”
"This ......," Acorin could only command, although he was extremely dissatisfied, "Yes, Lord Marshal!" ”
"Marshal, what should I do?" The marching staff officer hurriedly asked, "If, according to what Acorin said, the Fifth Army Corps has already moved here, our army will soon fall into the middle of the two armies, even if the Fourth Theater is reinforced, it may not be too late, should we withdraw to Mastert City first, so that it will be much closer to the main force of the base camp of the Fourth Theater, and the two armies will be horns for each other, so as to be in good measure!" ”
"Retreat?" Sampu sneered, "There are only 150,000 of the 700,000 people left in the third theater of the commander's third theater, and even if all the scattered troops are gathered, it will only be 200,000!" Hmph, what can we do with the Fourth Theater of Operations, and hold the attack of the Fifth Army, losing so many soldiers and territories, what face do we have in the world? The only way out for us is to revive the city, take the revival city, all the people live, no matter how many people die, it is worth it! ”
"Marshal, are you going to make a desperate bet?" The marching staff officer asked in surprise, "If we defeat Fuxing City, we will have no room for maneuver at all!" ”
"What more wiggle room?" "Tell the whole army that the enemy has cut us off from the rear, and that there is only one option to survive, and that is to capture Fuxing City!" ”
"Is the marshal going to put his death and come back to life, so that every soldier in the whole army will ignite the desire to survive and attack Fuxing City in one fell swoop?" The marching staff officer's eyes lit up and he asked.
"If you want to survive, you must first put yourself in the realm of death!" Sampu said, "The mourning soldiers will win!" Leaving 20,000 people to contain the enemy army deep in the hinterland, this commander does not need them to take the initiative to provoke this army, as long as they are restrained and blocked from attacking our back, as long as they can hold out for two days, even if the whole army is destroyed, it will be their first merit! Yesterday's all-out siege of the deployment unchanged, the commander personally went into battle to charge, this siege, divided into three ways to attack, no main attack feint, whether it is a straight road or over the mountains, all the front attack! The whole army is only allowed to advance, not to retreat, and those who take a step back will be killed! You immediately go and inform the whole army to deploy, and in three hours, launch a general attack! ”
"Yes, Marshal!"
……
"General, Sampu seems to be desperate!" Charlie said worriedly, "Looking at his current deployment, it seems that he doesn't care about Rogson entering their hinterland to stir up trouble, but pressing on all fronts, and the target is still our revival city!" ”
"Are all the roads blocked?" Daniel asked.
Charlie said with a smile: "All the passages into Fuxing City are blocked with boulders, and the inner and outer three layers are blocked, if the enemy wants to enter Fuxing City, he can only go over the mountains!" ”
"How many people are there now?" Daniel asked.
"Two hundred thousand!" Charlie said. "Maybe more!" ”
"What?" Daniel and Snorlin were both taken aback, "How can there be so many?" ”
"Don't look at me, I didn't recruit these people!" Charlie said with a smile, "Mizt summoned many students of the Fuxing City Academy to mobilize the whole city, and at the moment of the crisis of Fuxing City, the entire Fuxing City was full of indignation, and many Fuxing City residents volunteered to join the volunteer army formed by Major Alda, a young officer of the Military Academy, and now there are no less than 130,000 people, and there are still a steady stream of people signing up, and some of them are already on their way to the front line!" ”
"Volunteers?" Snowlin was surprised and said, "What can these people do?" I finally used actual combat to get these reserve troops* out, and now I have added these miscellaneous cards to add to the chaos, so how can I lead the army, it's just nonsense? ”
Charlie asked in surprise: "General Snowlin, the citizens spontaneously organized to go to the front, that's a good thing, there are many people and there is great power, why do you say that you are causing trouble?" ”
Snorlin said: "Hmph, Chief Charlie, if the enemy charges, these miscellaneous armies are mixed in the army, and when they see that the situation is not good, they turn around and run, shaking the morale of the army, our army is willing to fight to the death with the enemy, but the formation is chaotic, and the whole army can only be defeated?" ”
"This ...... I didn't think about it! Charlie then panicked and said, "So what can I do?" ”
"What should I do?" "Let them carry supplies in the rear, or help build fortifications, and together they will evacuate the battlefield!" ”
Charlie said: "These are citizens who have voluntarily organized, and their morale is high, how can we extinguish their enthusiasm for protecting the city like this, doesn't it chill their hearts?" ”
"How can the battlefield be child's play?" Snorlin said angrily, "Chief Charlie, you are the head of logistics, and you don't interfere in the affairs of the front line!" ”
"You...... It's just unreasonable! Charlie also shouted angrily, "It is everyone's responsibility to protect Fuxing City, what do I do to prevent them from fulfilling their obligations?" ”
"Alright, stop arguing!" Daniel saw that the two were in a quarrel, so he had to dissuade him, "Chief Charlie, who are these volunteers?" ”
Charlie said: "General, most of these people are ordinary citizens, as well as students and young officers, among which more than 10,000 are the soldiers and horses of the original Colenva headquarters, all of them are veterans, who were placed in Fuxing City by us at the beginning, and now Fuxing City is in trouble, and they are willing to assist the general in defending the city!" There are even some volunteers from foreign businesses, and more than 30,000 of them are women! ”
"And the women?" Daniel was taken by surprise.
"Mizter and Alda originally didn't plan to recruit women, but since the recruitment book didn't say it, those female citizens seized this loophole and quarreled with them, so they had no choice but to recruit them all!"
"These people are complex, and it is inevitable that they will be mixed with the enemy's spies, and we don't have time to screen them now!" "Snorling was right, these people can't be on the front line, but they can help the army defend. First, open the warehouses and arm all the male volunteers, those veterans are ready to be reinforced as the second echelon, and the other volunteers, led by the student officers of the military academy, as the third echelon alternates, are not allowed to enter the forward positions unless there is an order or the position is about to be lost; Second, when there is no war, the third echelon goes to the position to assist in building fortifications and transporting materials, and when there is a war, retreats 300 meters, and is not allowed to take a step forward without an order; Third, some of the female volunteers were handed over to the Wizard Corps to help care for the wounded, and the other part was formed into a family and friend group in Fuxing City, where the front-line laborers comforted the front-line workers during the break in the fighting; Fourth, all casualties of volunteers and volunteers will be paid bereavement pensions in accordance with the treatment standards of reserve soldiers, but those who do not obey orders and commands will be beheaded! General Snowlin, Chief Charlie, how about this arrangement? ”
"I think that's good!"
A familiar voice came from outside the tent, which shocked Daniel, Snorlin, and Charlie, and saw Higg and Blue Fairy both walk into the camp, and Blue Fairy said with a smile, "The head of the group of relatives and friends, let Mrs. Ben act as the agent temporarily, how about it?" ”
"City lord, lady?" Daniel, Snorlin, and Charlie were so excited that they almost burst into tears.
"When you come back, I can finally make a deal!" Daniel seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled, "Finally hold on until you come back, when will the army arrive, and what about your heroic mage group?" Isn't there a magic guild in Lobit City, why didn't you come back with reinforcements! ”
"My general, you can't do it yet!" Higg laughed, "The show has just begun, how can we make a difference?" Apart from Thomas's 30,000 cavalry plus me and Blue Fairy, we have no other reinforcements! ”
"No reinforcements?" Daniel, Snorlin, and Charlie were all taken aback, "Although Sampu is trapped in the mountains, his military strength is still there, and there are at least 150,000 elites, and Rogson has taken 30,000 people, and our defense line is only 120,000 people, most of them are reserves, and now they are desperate, if they break through a certain gap, behind us, there will be Fuxing City!" ”
"Where do I have reinforcements?" Higg said, "Arad will draw 100,000 troops from the 4th and 1st theaters, and join forces with the 100,000 troops in Saipan, a total of 300,000 troops will attack the Lojia River Plain!" There are 50,000 garrisons left in the Luojia River Plain, plus more than 60,000 people surrendered by Edmundo, the total attack is only 110,000, although there are two fortresses as natural dangers, but there are no effective generals to garrison, I have to send Weeks and his heroic magician regiment to reinforcements through the magic guild in Lobit City, the Luojia River Plain is the base camp of our Fifth Legion, and nothing can be lost! ”
"And what about the main force of your Fifth Legion?" Daniel asked.
"Hehe, you don't have to think about this!" Higg said with a smile, "Sampu is in a critical situation, and has asked for reinforcements from the nearest Fourth War Zone, and the base camp of the Fourth War Zone has moved south to Bruce City, less than four hundred kilometers northwest of Marsilt City, if we send reinforcements, we will reach Marsilt City before our Fifth Army." If the main force of the Fifth Army reinforces Fuxing City, and the Fourth War Zone of Mapote, will inevitably gain a foothold in Masilt City, then the army of Fuxing City and the Fifth Army will be suppressed by the enemy's endless army in Mislan and Fuxing City, which have no danger to defend, and at that time, we will have no chance to run! ”
"Then the main force of the Fifth Legion, just watching the fire from the other side?" Daniel said angrily, "If the Fifth Army doesn't reinforce Fuxing City, won't the Fourth War Zone occupy Mastilt City?" ”
