Chapter Seventy-Six: The Coalition That Couldn't Hold Up

The Holy Lukia Kingdom is also unlucky enough, it betrayed the coalition army once, and was used by Lin Yuedong to death. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, they didn't know that they would become Lin Yuedong's props again, so they still lived a gloomy and bleak life until the news of the imminent arrival of Lauren Frost's army arrived.

Immediately after this news, a military conference was convened. Of course, as always, there is still no share of the people of the Holy Lukian Kingdom.

"Everything is ready. The Lauren Frost Army has arrived near Celral, and now it's time for us to take the initiative to attack the Demon King's Army again. Duke Franker said with some excitement.

"The Demon King's Army won't be unaware of the arrival of Lauren Frost's Army, and we still have to think about it in the long run." Duke Elsstein shook his head.

"So far, there have been no reports of encounters with the spies of the Demon King Army." Count Lauren Frost, who was finally able to attend the military meeting, said with some dissatisfaction, "This time the elves of our army are much more extraordinary, and Ysera and Vivica have also returned to support two days ago, so they are not so easy to find." ”

"The Lauren Frost Army is a force that can decide the victory, please be aware of this." Lin Yuedong spoke, "I have fought side by side with Jonas seniors, and their combat effectiveness is no less than that of the Aldesian Army or the Holy Lukia Army, and the destruction of the five thousand elites of the Demon King Army is ironclad proof. ”

"That doesn't mean they won't be discovered......"

"That means it's out of the way even if it's discovered." Lin Yuedong interrupted the Blood Lion Duke's words, "When the Lauren Frost Army arrives, we are already invincible. If the Demon King Army does not find out, the Lauren Frost Army can sneak attack, and if the Demon King Army finds out, it must send a part of the army to guard the north, and when the number of the Demon King Army on the frontal battlefield is smaller, it is also our opportunity. ”

It's like a sword of Damocles, if you find it, you have to be desperately careful, if you can't find it, you will die, and you can't run away.

Duke Elsten's train of thought was suddenly opened: "Makes sense. In this case, we don't have to worry too much about this problem - even if we are discovered, we will still defeat the Demon King's army with a dignified two-sided attack! ”

Lin Yuedong showed a teachable expression: "That's right." So this brings me to my next proposal: I suggest that we take the initiative to attack the Demon King Army again, and it is a dignified attack. ”

"Another frontal attack? Like last time? The first reaction of Grand Duke Kelzenos was to frown. The last time they took the initiative and almost lost the saintess, he really didn't want to do it again.

"It's not the same as last time. This time, we have no internal lag, and the strength of the Demon King Army is temporarily inferior to ours, so if we don't seize such an opportunity, how can we defeat the Demon King Army? If it drags on for a few more days and reinforcements from the Demon King Army come, then there is really no chance. Lin Yuedong said sharply.

"That's what you say...... In fact, we can also discuss a strategy or something, we now have more troops on hand than the Demon King Army, and we have the ability to take risks, especially since the Demon King Army does not know the possibility of the existence of Lauren Frost's Army, maybe we can use some more aggressive tactics to reduce our casualties. Grand Duke Kelzenos proposed.

"You're wrong. It is precisely because we now have a temporary advantage that we should not adopt the tactics of rushing forward, but use a dignified formation and a righteous division to deal with them. Lin Yuedong denied it, as if he was not facing the supreme ruler of a principality, but a schoolboy, "You must know that of all tactics, only an upright attack is the least likely to make mistakes - what we need now is a down-to-earth victory, not to take the so-called risk." ”

This is said very seriously, and he almost pointed his nose and scolded Grand Duke Kelzenos for being short-sighted and talking less nonsense.

But Lin Yuedong has the confidence to say this. He is a divine envoy, and the five elven kings are his backstage, who is he afraid of?

"There's some truth to that." Duke Elsstein voted in favor of Lin Yuedong, "We need a tangible, risk-free victory now. Only the weaker side needs to take risks, and put our hopes in the scheme, and we just need to run it head-on. Even if the sacrifice will be great, it is better than continuing to drag it out like this. The war has been fought for three years, and many countries have not been able to hold on. ”

"Don't talk about those small countries, even the Kingdom of Aldesia is almost unable to hold on." "The king has complained to us several times, and you don't have to hide it. Although it is a bit demoralizing to the military, it is a real difficulty. ”

The Demon King War lasted for three years, and the war swept across the entire continent, and the Kingdom of Aldesia, which had always been at the forefront of the war, suffered heavy losses. The Demon King Army has already occupied nearly half of their territory, and the remaining half is also under the threat of the Demon King Army at all times, making it difficult to carry out normal production and life activities.

What's even more troublesome is that most of the armies of this era are still in the stage of integrating soldiers and farmers, and those who have the strength to pick up a hoe are farmers, and those who pick up swords are soldiers. Now the soldiers are dragged in Ostachia, and they have involuntarily completed the separation of soldiers and peasants and become full-time soldiers, not only can they not provide the food that could have been provided, but they will also produce a lot of consumption, so that it is difficult to make ends meet, and it is difficult for anyone to support them.

A large part of the reason why those small principalities have fallen under the command of the Kingdom of Aldesia, or whether they have been actively or passively annexed by it, is also due to the collapse of the domestic food system and the lack of livelihood of the people. The Kingdom of Aldesia still has to support them, of course, it is even more difficult, and by the third year, it is really about to be unable to hold on.

The Demon King Army can still hold on, because they have already obtained a lot of food by burning, killing and looting, and they have abundant stocks. In addition, many of the people in the land they occupy have been slaughtered by them, and they are sparsely populated, plus they do not pay attention to the livelihood of the people in the country, and let those who cannot survive starve to death, so that the population is reduced, and a lot of food is saved, which can be used exclusively for the front.

In the long run, such a country naturally has no future, but in the short term, the strength that bursts out is still quite strong. There is no doubt that militarism has strengthened the army, and Lin Yuedong is deeply touched by this.

"So we need to launch a decisive battle in the short term, and in a way that takes the least amount of risk, and achieves a tangible victory." Lin Yuedong concluded.

"As long as the Western Front troops of the Demon King Army are defeated, even if the current coalition forces on the Western Front are exhausted, another army can be formed in the country. There are a lot of people in the country on the coalition side, and there is still a stubble after being wiped out, and the Demon King Army does not have this convenience. Li Qinglan added with a smile.

This is the method of the Northern Army when the United States fought the Civil War, depending on how strong your Southern Army won one tactical victory after another, the total number of troops on our side continued to be more than twice that of you, and the logistics were even more than 100 times better than yours in all aspects. I can make a thousand mistakes and still be able to pull up a sufficient number of troops, but if you make one mistake, you're doomed.
