Chapter 45: Human Tragedy
When the Battle of Shariz City was in full swing, Fort Windeck, Marshal Christian and His Majesty Griffos, after a short discussion, decided to go to the territory of the Rhodoc Kingdom to repair first, and then look for Lee's rich army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The army set off, mighty, and more than 200,000 troops could not see the edge at a glance.
Marshal Christian and His Majesty Griffos sent a large number of scouts, for fear of falling into Li Youqian's ambush, but unfortunately the scouts did not find anything.
The army continued to move forward, because it was not known where Li Youqian had ambushed the army, and the danger of being attacked was relatively great, so Marshal Christian and His Majesty Griffos had to take precautions when marching. When marching in the country, it is only necessary to march along the important roads in a long snake formation, and if the number of troops is too large, it is enough to advance along several roads. But in the current situation, it is necessary to avoid a surprise attack by the enemy. When marching, place the army in front, the command center and its guards in the middle, and the logistics team and other non-combatants in the back. On both flanks of the marching procession were maneuverable light troops and cavalry to take care of the front and rear. The front army was Virgia's army and Rhodok's veterans, and when attacked, the front army quickly and orderly changed from marching to battle, or vice versa.
Rhodok held on to his place, and the Virgians shot with bows and arrows. The Chinese army quickly spread out to the flanks, encircling or forming new fortifications.
The plan was good, but it didn't work. The army walked for five days, and not a single living person was seen. You can only see burned villages and towns, or deforested forests. It's early spring, the grass hasn't sprouted yet, and everywhere is grayish-black.
Christian stares at the long-abandoned village, where nothing is left but a little wood!
Griffos searched for clues, "What about my subjects?" Where did Lee get my subjects with money! "Griffos is a little crazy, this kind of empty village, it's really terrifying. And what makes Griffivus terrifying is not desolation, but a sense of conspiracy! Griffos always felt that a huge conspiracy awaited him, but he had no idea what it was! This sense of fear of the unknown is deeply hated! "The army rests here for a night and continues tomorrow!"
.
Outside the village, Montville was the commander of the Royal Order of Svadia, watching their every move. The Royal Knights of Swadia are the most famous knights, and now they do just that! Far from being ashamed, the knights enjoyed the thrill of playing with their enemies and clapping them. All the grain convoys were wiped out by them, and Christian and Griffos could not get a grain of food, which was the plan of Emperor Li Youqian. Without spending a single soldier, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out!
Rhodok's army was not well supplied, and they had been besieged for too long. The supplies of the Virginian Kingdom army were even more pitiful, and they consumed most of their supplies when they arrived at Fort Windeck, and only some supplies obtained from Fort Windeck were dwarfed by these five days.
As we all know, the army was mainly supplied by food convoys and villages to buy or even plunder, and soldiers to hunt or gather. But now, the grain delivery team is gone, and along the way, let alone the villagers, there is not even a single leaf that can swing. Supplies are getting more and more difficult, Christian and Grievous don't want to face this fact, they seem to have guessed Lee's plan, but they don't dare to imagine, if it's true, it will be really terrible...... Twenty-five of them will die without a place to be buried.
"Your Majesty, do you still have food there? My brothers have nothing to eat. Christian had to call for help from Griffos.
"I don't have much here. Hold on a little longer, and tomorrow, you should be able to reach Coote City. I don't believe that Li Youqian can get rid of all the people in the whole city! In such a big city, how can there be some food left? "Griffos himself has no confidence anymore, this is not a joke, if he really can't find food, the current allies are likely to fight against themselves in order to survive!
The army continued on its way, and the soldiers, hungry for a day, finally arrived at the site of the old city of Kut in the evening.
Why is it said to be the old site, because Li Youqian burned the entire city with a fire, there was really no one in the city, everything that could be taken away, all the things that could be taken away, all taken away! All that remains here is devastation, collapsed houses and abandoned fields.
Christian inspected the ruins, which had been deserted for at least a few months, and even with food, it was now estimated to be broken.
Christian looked at Griffos...... Things are not going to be easy now...... It's really hard to do......
At dusk, puffs of smoke rose from Grifus's camp, and the soldiers had been without food for two days in Christian's camp. If you don't eat, you'll starve to death! Now the soldiers will not listen to you, and it is better to be killed than to starve to death.
Christian's soldiers spontaneously gathered to go to Griffos' camp to grab food. Christian was not in good health and went to bed early, in fact, he was not in bad health, but he had no choice but to acquiesce to this absurd decision. People are selfish! Why starve yourself! Why!
Griffos also sensed the abnormality and wanted to stop it, but he was helpless...... What can he do...... Put yourself in your shoes and think that if it were you, you would do the same.
Thus, the infighting began, from the initial local fighting, to the further escalation of the later battles. The fighting burned all night, and the infighting did not end until Christian woke up to stop it. In this helpless infighting, 20,000 people were killed and completely left this world.
And this is only the beginning, as long as they can't get out, food will never be solved.
Both Christian and Grievous made a very inhuman decision to eat the corpses of the opposing soldiers, which was the only way out of the road.
So the team moved on, rushing together during the day and fighting each other at night, and the more you killed, the more you could get. The number of participants in the battle is getting smaller and smaller, but the number of deaths is increasing, and those who can survive are all elite soldiers. And the battle continues, and this is the tenth day...... Still not a single living person was seen.
This is the third abandoned city to be discovered, but what about the people of Rhodoc? Was he killed by Li Youqian? If there is no more supplies, this team will really be finished, 250,000 people, and now there are less than 100,000 left......
On the twelfth day, in the city of Bama, the army finally saw the living, many, many living!
The defense of the city of Bama is staggering! The city was defended by the shameless Manid and the Eagle Ragnar and their 150,000-strong army.
With 70,000 tired divisions, it is obviously impossible to attack the 150,000 elites defending the city, but if you don't attack, everyone will starve to death! What to do!
Manid had a great idea, he stood on top of the city wall and gave the soldiers a very good note, "Kill Christian and Griffos." Then lay down your arms and surrender. We provide enough food and promise to accept you into our army, whether you live or die, you choose. ”
The city of Bama was filled with the smell of food, and the defenders sat on the walls and ate the fine food. Rhodok and Virgia's soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and finally turn their gaze to Christian and Griffos.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry!"
