Chapter 233: Strategy
β¦β¦
The battlefield on the southeast front, outside the Empire's first Xiongguan Bishui Pass.
The combined army composed of the revolutionary army and the foreign nationalities in the south approached the Guanwai yesterday, and the Imperial General Bude immediately mobilized tens of thousands of garrison troops from the vicinity of Gyeonggi to gather in the Guannai, and in only half a day several bloody battles had been waged with the combined army.
At this moment, in the very center of the battlefield, the combined army, which clearly had absolute superiority in numbers, stopped moving forward, and even retreated from time to time, while the opponent who caused them so much fear was only a horse.
Can a mere ride scare the thousands of troops of the Coalition?
Facts have proved that in this world where force is supreme, there is indeed a terrible existence that can resist thousands of armies on their own.
"Is that all there is to it?"
A blue-haired beauty in a white military uniform, lazily leaning on her war horse, glanced at the frightened eyes around her with a lack of interest, feeling extremely bored.
It's boring for her, but it's terrific for the Combine.
With her alone as the center, thousands of Combine soldiers around her were frozen into ice sculptures and froze in place in various postures, just like a punishment from the heavens, a terrible winter feast that froze all the living creatures around them into ice, this scene was weird to the extreme, and it also made people desperate to the extreme.
Smack.
As she raised her hand and snapped her fingers crisply, only to hear countless crackling explosions, the dense human ice sculptures on the battlefield shattered in unison, and those who were frozen all turned into a large pool of blood mixed with ice, and slowly spread around, and even flowed to the feet of other Combine soldiers, and the extreme despair and fear born in this instant completely crushed all people's will to fight.
It's a devil that can't be defeated......
Killing thousands of enemies with the power of ice, who else can turn the war to such a terrible point except for the terrifying Ice Queen Estes, who is crowned as the Great General of the Empire?
"Isn't there anyone here who deserves my help?"
Estes lowered his hand unsatisfied, his eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light, and his gaze scanned the more than 10,000 troops of the Combine Army with incomparable contempt.
In the face of her provocation, no matter how angry the soldiers of the Coalition Army were, they didn't dare to go any further, as she said, they would kill thousands of people if they didn't make a move, and if they did, no one dared to continue to imagine deeply......
An out-and-out killing machine!
ruthlessly harvested the precious lives of countless people...... What a tyrannical method, and what a crime of God's wrath......
Wouldn't anyone be able to stop her atrocities?!
"Stop being arrogant! Estes! As long as you are defeated, victory belongs to the people! β
Seeing that the morale of the combined army had plummeted, the middle-aged general who led the army was still calm, picked up two cold and light whirling axes and rushed into front of the battle.
Call!
The middle-aged general didn't talk nonsense, and immediately threw a whirling axe in his hand, and swirled towards Estes's side with a furious momentum that tore through the air.
"Huh?" Sensing a ferocious chill from the side, Estes curled the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, disappearing from place long before the whirling axe struck.
"-What?!" The middle-aged general's eyes widened, and before he could find Estes's location, he heard a light laugh full of contempt above his head.
"You're also an imperial envoy? It's really interesting. β
The laughter did not fall, Estes, who flashed into the air, had already pulled out the Western sword at her waist, and with her elegant and swift sword swing movements, a substantive-like ice and snow sword light flowed out from the blade, instantly piercing the middle-aged generals below through the air.
Click.
Estes's tall figure landed lightly, and he didn't look at the middle-aged general, but just threw a gorgeous sword flower in his hand, and the middle-aged general's body was bloodily divided into two halves in the futile icicles.
Spike!
It was not an ordinary soldier, but a veteran of the revolutionary army with the imperial tool, but he couldn't even withstand a single slash from Estes.
Estes covered his face with one hand, and the anger and blood in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and he unscrupulously provoked everyone on the battlefield: "This is the battle!" If you are not satisfied with your situation, then come and rebel against me! Show me how powerful you are! Is there anyone who can overcome the fear of death and come forward to defeat me? β
Have it?
There can't be any more here.
Standing on the battlefield, the Ice Queen is the strongest existence that is truly invincible!
But is that all?
At some point, a girl in a black dress armed with a demon knife appeared on the battlefield, and snatched all of Estes's attention the moment she appeared.
- Red Pupil.
Sensing the incomparably desolate determination to die on the other party's body, Estes's sky-blue pupils gradually condensed, and he raised the Western sword in his hand without saying a word.
"Bury you."
The red pupil also raised the demon knife backhand, and the blade was sharp.
β¦β¦
At the same time, the imperial capital was to the northwest.
The alien army, composed of a confluence of the western aliens and the remnants of the northern aliens, prepared to launch a surprise attack on the empire from both northwestern sides at the same time, intending to capture the fortresses of Sisiikon and Bansi around the imperial capital.
As long as these two military fortresses of the empire were taken, even if the combined forces on the southern battlefield could not capture Bishui Pass, they would be able to force the imperial capital from the northwest to make a detour.
Indeed, because the main forces of the combined army were gathered on the battlefield on the southern front, the empire was forced to concentrate its forces on Bishui Pass, which led to the neglect of the fortresses in the northwest, after all, the alien peoples in the northwest have always been regarded as a rabble by the empire, especially the alien peoples in the north were bloodily suppressed by Esdes not long ago, and the empire did not think that they dared to raise troops to counterattack, so they only left part of the troops to garrison.
However, in fact, the revolutionary army has long formulated a full strategy, and the huge combined army on the southern front battlefield is actually only used to attract the attention of the empire, to put it bluntly, it is to act as cannon fodder, after all, the strength of Bude and Estes is too terrible, and it is the next policy to storm Bishui Pass, so they bet on victory on the seemingly weak northwest alien army, and the real main force of the revolutionary army will command the attack on the weak parts of the empire to take the imperial capital in one fell swoop.
In the eyes of the top brass of the revolutionary army, as long as the imperial capital is occupied with lightning speed, and then the empire is destroyed and a new country is established to the world, then Bude and Estes, who are guarding the Bishui Pass, will be completely isolated and helpless.
"Ahead is the Sith Ikon Fortress. Take this fortress, and then cross the forest is the Bansi Fortress, and finally the west gate of the imperial capital. β
On a hillside, a young general in battle armor sat on a war horse, holding a strategic map, looking at the fortress in the distance, just from the back to look particularly heroic, but as the young general turned his head, revealing his face full of pimples, it suddenly made the people behind him have a good impression of him was completely destroyed.
There is no doubt that the young general is Zhang Hao, who was incorporated into the alien army.
Zhang Hao is one of the main generals in this operation, although he has only just entered the battlefield, but he has shown an amazing ability to lead the troops deeply appreciated by the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, and has also confronted Estes head-on, with such a brilliant record, he was promoted to the general of the revolutionary army at once.
"It seems that the victory of the revolution is only one step away...... The people will live happily ever after the establishment of the new country, don't you think? General Zhang. β
Just behind Zhang Hao, a young swordsman sighed deeply, it was clear that the revolution was about to succeed It was a happy thing, but the young man's eyebrows were always full of lingering worry.
Zhang Hao looked at the young swordsman's gradually maturing face, but what came to mind was the tragic scene of a girl being burned to ashes - Shayou.
The young swordsman was stared at by Zhang Hao for a while, and hurriedly turned his head away, as if he was afraid that Zhang Hao would take a fancy to him if he had any special hobbies.
"Hey...... Tazmi. Zhang Hao came to his senses, threw away the messy thoughts in his head, and muttered, "What is your expression?" I'm not a like Brand, don't worry, I'm not interested in you. β
That's right, this young swordsman is none other than Tazmi, who was once sent to the revolutionary army by Zhang Hao.
After the tempering of the battlefield, although Tazmi still carries that almost naΓ―ve ideal, his appearance has long since faded from his childishness, and his original small body has also been greatly exercised and has become stronger, not at all like a fourteen-year-old boy, but like a steady adult.
"Brand? What's wrong? Tazmi was a little dazed, obviously not very familiar with the name.
"Uh...... I forgot, you don't know Brand...... Forget it, that big brother is the killer of the night attack, and it's nothing. Thinking of Brand's tragic death, Zhang Hao's face suddenly darkened, and he quickly recovered his color and said: "Deputy General Tazmi obeys the order, you go and prepare the troops to make a surprise attack on the Sith Yikang Fortress, be sure to win the two checkpoints as quickly as possible, and when the time comes, everything will be over when you attack the imperial capital." β
"Yes!" Tazmi gave a serious military salute, then turned around and mobilized the alien army that was lying in ambush in the shadows, and began to prepare for the surprise attack.
Looking at Tazmi's increasingly tenacious back, Zhang Hao unconsciously lit a cigarette, since he entered this world, he didn't know how many cigarettes he had smoked, a hundred? Or a few hundred?
Every time he faced the death of his companions, Zhang Hao would blame himself in his heart, obviously as a traverser who predicted the direction of the world, but he was powerless to change the deaths of these people again and again, and even fell into it and couldn't help himself, not only failed to do one thing well, but also killed Tazmi's childhood sweetheart Sha You......
I'm sorry, Tazmi.
Not only has to compensate you, but also for the sake of those dead companions and countless innocent people, no matter what, he will personally overthrow this dark and decaying empire, and absolutely let the people of this world live a truly happy life!
"All-Army Offensive ββ!"
As Zhang Hao shouted violently, he jumped down from the hillside first, and the alien army that had been pressing behind him for a long time suddenly burst into a shocking killing sound, and the black pressed human heads converged into a torrent that constantly encroached on the lonely pass in front of him.
The winning ticket is in your hands!
But...... Is that really the case?
The soldiers of the alien army who rushed forward bravely realized that they were not greeted by a lonely fortress, but a rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun.
