Text: Empire Battle_Chapter 396: Claiming the Emperor (3)
Arthas stood outside the hundred-mile camp with a sad face, his originally miserable white face also turned black, and the lich robe on his body had long been burned to ashes. There was an army of undead with a tight grip of less than a million, and Arthas could only look at the messy camp in front of him and sighed fiercely.
The army of more than 40 million people is gone in one go. Needless to say, the number of small skeletons as high as 30 million is needless to say, even if the combat effectiveness is poor, but with tens of millions of words in front, it is definitely a powerful force. Today, there are less than a million left, and the glory of the past has vanished with this fire. There are only more than 20,000 elite white jade legions left, and there are less than 100,000 elite skeleton soldiers. All this is because of his own carelessness, a wrong move, tens of millions of troops disappeared overnight. The most important thing is that the war, which was already won, became confusing again because of this night.
There are only more than 10 million troops in the rear, and in the face of 20 million British players, the pressure is already very high. Now I think that after the withdrawal of the Allied forces, I can bring back 40 million troops today. But this fire is really injured, let alone reinforcements, if the Allied tens of millions of troops take advantage of the situation to kill again, how can they resist so many human armies with more than 10 million main forces close to the rear.
No hatred, no long-distance feelings, cool and far-flung warfare
"Let's go! Back to the Land of the Dead! Alsace gave an order in a state of limbo.
Then the undead army, which had only one million troops left, began to retreat, the land of the bones, the last remaining territory of the undead realm. But now it is not a safe place, the 20 million troops of the British players have already arrived in the city, completely besieging the city of bones, and the news has long spread throughout the camp. It's just that all the undead at that time thought that there were still more than 40 million main forces on their side, and those British player armies were not enough at all.
But now it's different, and tens of millions of troops have been wiped out overnight. Even if the remaining million troops return to the land of the dead, in the face of 20 million besieging troops, this little soldier may not even be able to enter the city. If you don't go back, you may be able to breathe for a while, and if you don't go back, I believe that the Allies will soon come back again, and it will be a dead end at that time.
It is inevitable that the morale of the army will decline, and no matter which army has these 40 million troops the day before, there will be only one million people left the next day, and the morale will not be too high. The long queue seemed scattered, and one by one the undead walked towards the west with their heads bowed and their heads down.
——————————————————————————
The grain and grass hoarded in the rear occupation area were finally transported, which made Xiao Chen, who had not eaten enough for five or six consecutive days, almost shed sad tears. That's right, it's been almost ten days since that fire. The three days' dry food was eaten early, in order to let the army retain its strength and not be too hungry, Xiao Chen directly stationed in the same place. Fortunately, the surrounding jungle is dense, and there is a lot of game in the mountains. But when it comes to the army of fourteen million, it's indescribable...
There are many animals living in the mountains for dozens of miles, but when the Allied hunting brigade drove in, they disappeared directly within a day. Yes, it's all gone in one day. What tigers, leopards, jackals, pheasants, and birds, all that can be eaten have been put into the camp by the allies. It's just that even if it makes the army last for a day and a half. Then relying on the wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains, it also lasted for half a day.
This made Xiao Chen, who had not eaten wild vegetables and wild fruits for more than 20 years, finally taste the taste, sour, this is Xiao Chen's evaluation. The green fruit was ripe as soon as it was ripe, but for the sake of his stomach, Xiao Chen still gritted his teeth and gnawed it all out. The wild vegetable soup tasted good, but it was just a large bowl of clear soup with two vegetable leaves floating on it, and sometimes grass roots appeared, which made Xiao Chen hide his face and cry sadly.
Distant hatred does not learn far away from cool love yang love and feather hatred
After eating up the mountains and staying up for two days, the Allies finally waited for the grain and grass to be transported from the rear. It's just that a mere 100,000 stone of grain is not enough to feed more than 10 million strong men. After learning that this was all the grain and grass hoarded in more than a dozen nearby cities, Xiao Chen had no choice but to distribute the grain. And the follow-up million stones of grain and grass will take a full five days to be transported.
100,000 stone was only drunk with gruel for four days, and the original 14 million strong men were now hungry and yellow, and they were swaying when they walked. Even Xiao Chen, Long Ye and the generals under his command are all the same. Fortunately, Xiao Chen and the others did not have any privileges, and the soldiers below had exactly the same kings as they ate, and they immediately did not have any complaints.
After the land, the distant hatred ball is far away, and the ghost is cold and cold
After a day of starvation, millions of stone of grain and grass were finally delivered. A million stones, the army of more than 10 million people finally ate a full meal, and then began the food distribution system again. There was no way, most of the grain and grass in the nearby city within three hundred miles were almost delivered, and only a small amount was used to maintain the local garrison. And if you want to get food and grass support, you can only wait for about 20 days. After all, the distance is not the same, and it is impossible for the city in the distance to pull one or two thousand stones of grain and grass by itself and run over. In the face of more than 10 million mouths, the distant city can only concentrate all the grain and grass vehicles in the nearby city to transport.
The gruel in these two days was much better than before, two meals of gruel a day, although it was dyed and digested quickly, but it was finally able to eat enough at that time.
More than 20 days later, 5 million stone of grain and grass were transported from the rear, and the Allies were finally able to restore their previous food system. Three meals a day, a full meal, and a life of meat for three days, slowly recovered the 20 million strong men who were already hungry. It's just that five million stones of grain and grass can only feed an army of tens of millions for a month, which is too unsafe for an army of more than 10 million.
Therefore, Xiao Chen had no choice but to continue to camp in place with the army. Of course, Xiao Chen still knows the situation in Alsace in the west very well, and those scout spies in his own house are not dry.
Surprisingly, the 20 million British players did not stop Arthas. The army of less than a million undead was stunned to enter the city of bones, and then the union of Arthas and Gianna immediately made John Bull suffer. After more than a month of siege battles, not only did it not break the city of bones, but it also allowed Arthas to lead the army of the undead to sneak attack several times at night. The 20 million British army is now less than 15 million, and Alsace is even more miserable, with just over 6 million troops left.
However, the army of more than six million undead, although gathered in three or four cities in the Land of the Dead, is still a headache for British players. These undead do not eat or drink, and they cannot die at all during the siege. If you attack the city, the casualties will be too great. So much so that more than a month now, the British players not only did not achieve any results, but lost their troops.
The information that came from every day, imagining the stupid battle between Alsace and the British players, Xiao Chen was in a good mood. Hmph, those gang of John Bulls still want to pick peaches, and they think it's so beautiful.
That's right, Xiao Chen was very annoyed. He led an army of 20 million to fight against the army of the undead for two or three months, and finally wiped out a lot of the army of the undead. Then he fought with the main force of the undead army, and the casualties were all over the world. However, that gang of John Bull actually took the opportunity to attack the western part of the undead realm, and immediately swallowed most of the cysts that originally belonged to the allies, leaving only a few heavy cities in the land of dead bones that were not taken. One can imagine how annoyed Xiao Chen must have been when he learned the news.
Now, okay, two dog-eat-dog. John Bull wanted to pick peaches, but he didn't expect to be knocked out of several front teeth by the peach pot. Arthas tried to break this mortal situation, but also suffered heavy losses. Let's fight slowly, fight for it all, and when the time comes, Lao Tzu will also be a yellow finch, and clean up you two little bugs.
In this way, two months passed, and more and more supplies were being transported from the rear. Needless to say, the generals in the rear occupation areas are quite concerned about their bosses, and the speed of transporting grain and grass is not slow at all. Millions of oxen carts loaded with grain and grass kept moving towards the camp. Fortunately, the previous war was well prepared, and for this big battle, Xiao Chen prepared 150 million stones of grain and grass alone, in order to prevent emergencies.
The 50 million stone grain and grass is carried by the army, and every time some is consumed, the rear will immediately replenish the 50 million stone grain. The rest are all cities in the occupied area, but I didn't expect to be rescued today.
However, Xiao Chen was also distressed, and countless grains had been consumed in the previous two months of war. Since the war with the army of the undead, the consumption of food has been like flowing water. Now, the army has stayed here for another three months, and the eye nodes have entered autumn, and Xiao Chen is also a little sad in his heart. The war must end, and more than 90 million stone of grain and grass of 100 million stone have been consumed, and we will strive to end the war within two months.
If it is two months, it is only now that it has just entered October, and it will only be two months for the army to return to China, and it will not delay the spring planting in various parts of the country.
Counting the 20 million stone of grain transported from the country, the reserves in the camp have now reached 30 million stone again, which is enough for the army to fight this war. In addition to food, the rear once again transported a lot of war materials, millions of weapons and equipment, just enough to replace the damaged weapons for the soldiers. And more than 200 million arrows finally allowed archers and crossbowmen to squander generously again.
After the revenge, it is not only the cool yang general skill ghost
After sufficient supplies, the army marched west again three days later.
However, after three days of marching, the army returned to the place where the original camp was located. It could have been back in one day, but Xiao Chen held it and asked John Niu and Arthas to fight well, so the marching speed of the army was not very fast.
The Baili camp is now dilapidated, and there are traces of burning everywhere. The small grass and trees that were originally resurrected by Guanyin Bodhisattva have entered reincarnation again. The ground was all cracked, which showed how powerful this fire was.
The army was stationed there for only one day, and at noon the next day it again headed west.
The City of Bones was still more than 500 miles away from the Great Army, which was a long way for the Allies. Guy because the domestic road construction army has not yet built the road here. Facing those dirt roads, Xiao Chen didn't know what to say. Originally, the army of 500 people walked on the plain in a column, and although a lot of grass was trampled to death, the marching speed could still be maintained for 50 miles a day.
But the next day, the road was not good, the wide and narrow road could only accommodate more than 20 people to spend together, the army of more than 10 million people almost did not die in a hurry, and the marching speed was reduced from 50 miles a day to 30 miles a day, which was directly reduced by half.
It took twenty-five days for 14 million Allied troops to appear fifty miles outside the City of the Dead. After arriving here, Xiao Chen let the army set up camp. It's already close to the battlefield, and if you go any further, it's probably hard to find a place to camp.
The fifteen-million-player army of British players has been reduced to eleven million again after a month of attrition. Arthas was no less comfortable, with only three million of the six million troops remaining, still holding out of the city. It's just that now these three million troops are all concentrated in the City of Bones, and the City of Bones of Six Million Troops can't afford it, but it can still accommodate three million if it's squeezed.
The British army had already arrived more than 130 miles from the camp three days earlier, so they did not attack for the past two days, but set up camp and held the camp. When Arthas learned that the Allies had come again, he looked stunned and smiled dismally.
He no longer has the capital to fight for hegemony, and hundreds of millions of troops have been lost. Now that the Allies have come to kill again, they must be more prepared, if they want to rely on the three million army, facing the British player army and the Allies, I am afraid that they will not be able to defend this last city at all.
In comparison, Alsace is still relatively taboo to the Allies. Although the Allies now have only three million more troops than the British players, Arthas is not so simple. The British player army does not have a unified voice, the command is chaotic, and although the soldiers are still elite, they are really not much with a group of stupid bosses. Otherwise, he would not have been carried by himself with millions before, and several consecutive night raids were successful.
The allies are different, the whole army only listens to the orders of one person, the battle formation is strictly forbidden, and the soldiers are elite, which is really the biggest enemy at present!
Alsace's bleak look was naturally clear to Gianna beside him.
"Arthas, let's go back. It's okay to go back to the God Realm, we have already lost, and if we continue to fight, there will be no results! ”
Gianna's voice shook Arthas. Immediately, Arthas showed an uncomfortable expression and said bitterly: "Gianna, is it true that I am not as good as an ordinary mortal?" Hundreds of millions of troops have not been able to make me achieve a hegemony! ”
"No, Arthas, your strength does not lie in your command of armies. Your strength lies in your divine power. Without your divine powers, you won't be able to use many of your killer skills. Moreover, when it comes to marching and fighting, we are really inferior to these mortals. If we have divine power, we can still reduce ten times with one force. But now... Give up and return to the Divine Realm, you are still the most powerful Lich King, why should you be nostalgic for the position of an emperor in the mortal world? ”
"I'm a prince, you know? My father's dream was to make the country stronger and become an empire. The arrival of the Lava Legion has completely destroyed my father's dreams, and I want to build an empire to make my father a pity, it's too difficult... Perhaps, we really should go back! ”
Arthas fell into deep thought, and said softly words in his mouth that even he didn't dare to imagine!
"Arthas! Let's go back! ”
In the sky, a kind cry rang out, reaching Arthas's heart.
Alsacton was shocked, then bowed deeply to the sky and said, "Teacher, the great Lich King Arthas, will soon gallop again in the Immortal Battlefield!" ”
