378 The predicament of Rolando's army
On Ciri's side, hiding in the dark magic crystal mine to cultivate and seclusion, and Rolando's army, as he thought, encountered an unprecedented predicament. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
That's right, if Lake Noah is a naturally formed lake, then the defenders of Xirui can't block the entire shore of Lake Noah from landing on the enemy, but the bad thing is that Lake Noah is just a lake formed after digging the ancient river embankment, and last winter it arranged for the Northern Witchcraft Alliance to dig deep into the bottom of Lake Noah, resulting in the steep terrain of the entire Lake Noah, in many places, higher than the sails of the warships on which the army of Rolandy was riding!
Landing on such a lake, unless Rolando's army can fly! What's more, the defenders along the way still sent a large number of griffon cavalry to guard along the way, and once they found that the enemy fleet had a large-scale gathering, the large force would immediately kill it! The long-range weapons of both sides are ballistas and catapults, and they are also inaugurated heroic commanders who unleash various combat skills to fight.
Rolando's army numbered 600,000, and there were naturally many heroic commanders, but unfortunately, they were on the water, and people could claim to withstand all kinds of attacks, but warships could not. In half a month, the casualties on Ciri's side are still unknown, but more than a thousand warships of various types on the side of the Rolandor Kingdom have sunk a full third! Although these are only small tonnage ships, the loss of more than 100,000 men and a huge amount of supplies is enough to break the bones of this Rolando expeditionary force!
Lake Noah is north, the deepest generation of the lake, all the warships from Rolando gathered here, from a distance, six or seven hundred warships are really magnificent, but as long as you get closer and take a closer look, the soldiers guarding all over the ship, one by one listless and pale, as for the cabin, even the richly decorated commander's cabin of the commander-in-chief of this fleet, the people inside are all gloomy and not smiling.
Before the start of the war, everyone present was called a high-spirited person, and that was a high-spirited person. After all, everyone knows that although the Kingdom of Zigra occupied the Duchy of Canter, it has not stopped this year, and before the battle was over, there was a civil strife in the Kingdom of Zigra, followed by a large-scale invasion by the orcs who had not yet settled, which directly led to its demise. The Duchy of Kante itself has not been given any chance to recuperate.
In one year, the two grand dukes of father and son died unexplained, and half of the counts of each territory were directly gone! Although everyone has not seen the situation of the Principality of Kante, it is also a frequent war and unrest. If it weren't for the harsh winter, they would have prepared a large army to conquer before winter! But who would have thought that the high-spirited army had just arrived at the other party's so-called Lake Noah, and encountered such a stubborn enemy army?
Now, these aristocrats who boast of being able to conquer war. I could only snuggle up in the commander's cabin and listen to the logistics officer, the top student of the Rolando Military Academy, who claimed to have been treated unfairly, Triside, recount the losses of the major battles since his arrival.
"To sum up, our expeditionary force has lost a total of 302 large and small ships, including 191 standard landing warships, 100 frigates, and ......16 other ships such as supply ships and troop carriers."
"Alright, don't mourn there!
"A snort, let everyone look sideways, the person who reprimanded the logistics officer like this is naturally the commander of their expeditionary fleet, the Marquis of Gusti, the commander-in-chief of the Rolando expeditionary force! Although, a year ago, he was just a viscount with no power or even a barren territory, but who let him follow the right master?
But now no one has the slightest bit of cynicism. This time the dispatch of troops was from the instructions of the ascetic seminary, otherwise, how could they afford so many high-level warships in a short period of time in a landlocked country like Rolando?
Tie Qing's face was blue, Gusti's gaze slowly swept over everyone present, and those generals who were like roosters who had been defeated, how could they dare to look at the angry Gustie? When he saw him, he hurriedly lowered his head, so as not to let the boss with a bad temper get angry at himself.
After scanning around, but not finding anyone to vent his anger, Gusti turned his gaze to the logistics officer who reported the battle damage, Trisid.
"Others, let's not talk about it, but Master Triside, haven't you realized that you have made any mistakes? Hmph, let's talk about the loss of three hundred and two ships first, and in the end, the loss of three hundred and seven warships broke out, I think you, the logistics officer, are you too comfortable? It's a shame that you are still a top student who graduated from Wangdu Military Academy! ”
Logistics Officer Cui Side looked obviously stunned. The heart says that you are just waiting here to find my fault? It's a pity that the so-called well-known Rolando's Military Academy didn't teach any talents, but it didn't produce any idiots who didn't even learn simple math well.
"My lord, didn't you let me continue? Tell you, the so-called supply ships and troop carriers in the back, there are five knights who are sampans, not ships......"
"So I wronged you?"
Gusti said with his eyes coaxed and breathed like he was asthma.
"Of course. My Lord Marquis. ”
The latter said unceremoniously, don't look at the Rolando Military Academy without a talent, but this character is more arrogant than the other! Previously, Heinze was like this, and as for this guy, it was the same.
"My lord, I know what you're thinking. But don't you think we should discuss more about how to defeat the enemy, instead of looking for our own side and someone's fault? ”“
Oh? So what should we do, you say? ”
Gusti is in full swing! Although, the name of Rolando's Military Academy, he didn't dare to offend casually, but the boss found the fault of his subordinates, and he didn't need to specifically target the other party's mistakes!
"My lord, give advice, but the responsibility of the strategist and your lords doesn't seem to be my turn as a logistics officer, right?"
The latter responded fiercely, although these words directly made Gustie's face look like a purple eggplant. But this so-called high-achieving student who graduated from Rolando's Military Academy also took it.
"Let me have an idea, that's fine. I think we should continue to call for suitable landing sites. On the west and southwest sides of the lake, there are enemy troops who are heavily defended, and we can only increase casualties if we install them, so why don't we try to go to the east and north shores of this lake? ”
That's a bad idea. The north shore, since they narrowly missed the first time, could not even go up to the shore now. On the east coast, not to mention the kingdom of Rolando, the surrounding area is full of swamps, and it is better to take a boat in the lake to march in the swamp! (To be continued.) )
