Chapter 777: The Decisive Battle (3)
PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
In a war, the side that initiates the initiative often has many advantages, the most important of which is probably the choice of the initiative, which is to start a planned battle in the area of its choice.
If you can't gain an advantage, it basically means that the gap in strength has reached the point where tactics and strategy cannot make up for it, and no matter what you do, it will be difficult to win.
Just as predicted in the previous joint command, the battle on the two fronts gave the devil a lot of pressure, and countless balls of light rose on the eastern front where the battle started first, and the dragon knights and elite warbands broke through the defense line at the same time, making it clear that it was a decisive battle, but in fact it was a pulling suppression attack.
The big devils stationed on the Western Front got the news and were driven by the King of Devils to go to the Eastern Front as soon as possible, and a few hours later, the flames of war on the Western Front were also ignited at the same time, and they burned even more vigorously.
The icy sea became an ice bridge for landing, and the successful landing at the dead end of the defense network made the original defense line and fortress into waste, and the close distance between Esel Reeves and the west coast became a fatal wound for the defenders.
As long as they march with all their might, soon the legions of the Western Front of the coalition army will touch the extension of Esel Reeves, and the plane gate of the inner city of Esel Reeves is the last hope of the devils.
It can be said that this knife is quite ferocious, and it will attack the enemy's vital points when it comes up, forcing the opponent to have to save it, and if it is not saved, it will be over.
As a result, the Great Devil and the Devil's Legion, who had just set off for the Eastern Front overnight, immediately received a new order to return to the Western Front for defense, and even transferred the combat strength of the Eastern Front to supplement it.
From the command's point of view, such an order is correct. But given the realities of the current battlefield, this is obviously a bit stupid.
"One will go east, one will go west, and the old three heads (Salweinstein) are also old and confused."
"Are you being ordered to go east or west? I only received an order to go east, but I'm already on the eastern front. ”
"The Third Legion is gone? I knew they were there, probably a detour to ambush their opponents. Want them to go back to the Eastern Front? Go find someone yourself. ”
The war heralds of this era, in most cases, are still relatively primitive manual transmission, and some magic props are used to make use of them, and these magic and strange things that can be teleported remotely are rare goods, in previous wars, generals and marshals can only enjoy this kind of treatment, even if they are devils with thick enough family backgrounds, they can only be equipped with those high-level devils and big devils.
On the human side, it is still a creature that uses magic technology. Other races are also following suit and updating their battlefield communication methods, but the youngest of those warbands in the lower planes are probably hundreds of years old, on the one hand, the long history represents honor and achievements, and the organization that is too complete and closed also means that they are overconfident in themselves and skeptical of new things.
The Devil's Legion is the same organization of war that it was thousands of years ago. Heralds are sent out, but the chaotic situation on the battlefield makes it difficult for heralds to complete their missions. There was even a funny situation with the command to "return to the western line" before the "departure to the east".
Some devil lords looked at the two completely opposite orders in front of them. Not knowing what to do at all, he ended up killing a messenger and thinking that he had brought distorting fake news.
The devils are not good birds, and weak mortals are not worth mentioning to them. The same kind is the most important thing to guard against.
In the devil's society with a pyramid structure, the most joyful thing is never victory, honor or anything like that, but the sudden "violent death" of one's boss who made room for himself. As a result, in the chaos, many high-level commanders were inexplicably hot-headed, completed a desperate charge, and died on the battlefield in an instant.
In the past, it was probably a "normal consumption" that was taken for granted, and it was even considered to be conducive to the renewal of the devil's society, so that the incompetent were naturally eliminated, but now, it has made the chaos even more prolonged.
The worst thing was that the next part of the order, they pumped the forces of the Eastern Front and tried to strengthen the defenses of Esso Reeves.
The command may seem normal, but if you're in such an environment, you're facing a terrifying dragon and a damn light, and while the battle is hard, your brethren warband is barely holding out from a position not far away...... Then your brother troops suddenly ran away, the position was given to the opponent, and you were trapped.
"They all ran away, we have been abandoned, and whoever doesn't run is stupid."
Chaos is easy to prolong, and the more urgent orders are issued, the more chaos will be created by the command without an orderly command system.
In the old days, this was not a problem, because each legion was relatively independent, and each legion had its own subordinate legions and subordinates, layer by layer, and eventually, offered loyalty to a certain devil king.
In the past, the kings of the devil would personally take action, each suppressing their own ace legions, and then contacting their subordinate legions, which also suppressed the scene, but now, there are only two kings of the devil left, and most of the leaders of the ace legions are vacant, and the most chaotic ones are probably those ace warbands that have lost their heads.
Salvinstein may be a good king, but he is definitely not a good battlefield commander, and since those devil kings are gone, he does not hesitate to encroach on their legions, and send his own henchmen to the top of the legion who are most likely to take over as the commander.
In addition, during the establishment of Hades, most of the ancient devils who had experienced a hundred battles chose to leave, and the devil's legion lost its core and veteran backbone, and its strength was already greatly damaged.
Although a series of measures, his authority has been consolidated, but at this time, the veterans with real authority and prestige are gone, and the fingers are only some "little people" who can only slap horses, coupled with the traditional ....... of the devil At the same time as many devil officers who are not strong but are in high positions are missing, the chaos is not only not restricted, but is expanded under the needs of those who have a heart.
The withdrawal of the main forces of the Eastern Front caused the second-line army corps on the Eastern Front to fall into a panic of being abandoned, and many legions began to retreat without receiving clear orders.
Even the Royal Dragoons and the White Wolf Guards, who served as the main force of the sharp knives, vaguely couldn't believe that the legendary Devil Legion was so easy to deal with, and there were signs of collapse before the battle?
Of course, the devil could not have watched this happen, Salvinstein personally went to the Eastern Front to calm the scene and stabilize people's minds, and the last remaining Lord of the Devil was given the same task, except that his goal was the Western Front.
At this time, I looked at the super huge golden phoenix towering in front of me, and I hesitated.
"This golden crispy chicken just looks delicious....... ahem, kill the king of the devil, little Tias won't trouble me."
