Catch up.

Foster received a battle report from the front.

The first is that the air force has become entangled with the enemy's air force, and it has been stubbornly resisted, and according to the current situation, there is a 30% chance of breaking through the encirclement and blowing up the enemy's retreat route before the retreat of Vega.

Secondly.

The vanguard troops had already vaguely seen the enemy's tail and believed that in less than three hours they would be able to bite the enemy's tail and pull the enemy back into the quagmire of war.

Of course.

If Vega sacrificed the tail force to block his vanguard army, there would still be a chance to retreat with the main army, so the key to preventing Vega from retreating to the central hinterland was the air force, which was why Foster ordered the air force to destroy the retreat route regardless of the cost, even if the last war airship was fighting.

Because there are only ten days left.

As long as the enemy is delayed for another ten days, as soon as reinforcements arrive, the victory in this war will belong to him, Foster, and Vega will be buried in this land, and he will prove his ability again.

The boiled duck flew.

This is unwillingly put on anyone.

Now that Foster could no longer keep his composure, he kept urging his men to speed up the march.

"Lord Commander, there's the Grand Canyon ahead. ”

A division commander reported to Forster: "According to the urgent report from the Vanguard Army, they have now entered the Grand Canyon and followed in the footsteps of the Dynasty Army all the way, engaging the enemy's tail at the tail of the Ropps Grand Canyon. ”

"How's the battle going?"

"Is it entangled with the main forces of the enemy?"

With an anxious tone, Foster asked three questions in one breath: "Or is it that the enemy's main forces have been out of their field of vision, and they are only holding back the tail blocking force that has been abandoned by the enemy?"

"Report to the Commander. ”

The division commander didn't dare to slack off: "Although there is no direct evidence to prove it, according to the report of the corps leader, the enemy forces that are fighting are not strong, and even the high-level force is not much, so the lower officer boldly speculates——"

The division commander had a rather heavy expression.

He said slowly: "The Dynasty Army has given up the tail flank troops, and ordered the tail flank to block our advance, if our air force cannot destroy the enemy's retreat line within 48 hours, the enemy's main force may be able to safely withdraw to the northern hinterland, and it will probably be difficult for us to continue the pursuit at that time." ”

"Damn it!"

Foster became more and more irritable, and things began to go in the direction he least wanted to see.

That is, now Foster had to pin all his hopes on the Air Force, and after the loss of two aviation corps, his Air Force was weaker than Vega, which made him more and more uneasy.

"A 30% chance is still too small. ”

"Speed up, continue to speed up the march. ”

Foster didn't care about anything else, and he ordered the main army to speed up.

He realized that he had to make his way through the heart of the Rips Canyon as fast as he could, join up with the Vanguards, help the Vanguards sweep away the enemy's blockers, and then let the Vanguards advance at full speed again to continue the pursuit of the Vega's main army.

Although Foster also knew that he might not be able to catch up with the enemy, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor.

Foster glanced at the dark sky in the distance, and raised his right hand slightly to salute: "The glory of the empire, my future is pinned on you, as the eagle of the empire, please return triumphantly, may the glory of the empire be with you." ”

Da Da Da –

The Imperial army began to march rapidly, and in a short time they reached the entrance to the Grand Canyon of Ropps.

The Grand Canyon stretches for 100 kilometers, from the entrance to the tail of about seven or eight peaks, even if it takes more than 20 hours to march urgently, but the terrain is not too steep, and it is quite good for a large army march.

Foster had been chasing him all the way out of Lops City for more than ten hours, and although he had a break of about two hours in between, the whole army was still a little tired.

I don't care about so much.

Foster didn't even hesitate for a moment, and directly ordered the whole army to enter the Grand Canyon.

Because the time does not allow Forster to think too much, he must cross the belly of the canyon in more than ten hours to help the vanguard army clear the obstacles, otherwise in a day or two Vega will safely retreat to the northern hinterland of the empire.

————

Lops Grand Canyon, Koro Mountain.

From here, it's easy to see a marching avenue that leads to the end of the canyon.

Vega's main army was hidden in this mountain, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Imperial army.

There is nothing wrong with it.

Vega's main army had never made it out of the Grand Canyon of Ropps, and the tail troops at the end of the canyon engaged the enemy were genuine, but they were only used to deceive the Imperial vanguard.

The Imperial Vanguard Army was preconceived.

Since the tail force responsible for blocking is at the tail of the canyon, even if the main force has not been able to get out of the Grand Canyon, it must be in front of the tail wing, how can it be hidden in the hinterland of the middle of the canyon.

If it was really in the hinterland of the canyon, then it would have ambushed them, the pursuing vanguard army, a long time ago, how could it be possible to let them swagger out of the hinterland, no matter from which point of view, it is not logical.

But Vega did just that.

His goal was never to kill tens of thousands of vanguard troops, and then return to the northern hinterland in disgrace, from the very beginning he wanted to let Foster know what it means to invite God to send God, what he wanted to do was to trick Foster out of Lops City, and then ambush the pursuing Imperial Army in the Grand Canyon of Lops, and wipe them out here.

How to deceive?

It's too simple.

The rush to repair the communication line is generally carried out by the imperial army in the northern hinterland and the 300,000 troops on the Vega side at the same time, and this time Vega ordered the northern hinterland to unilaterally build a retreat route, and at the same time pay attention to cleaning up the imperial reconnaissance troops, which effectively prevents the exploration of the imperial scouts.

In addition, Vega turned his gun to attack Ropps, and was repeatedly defeated.

Under this premise, Foster of course had a preconceived idea that Vega had given up the retreat, so the imminent war and victory would attract Foster's full attention, so much so that he ignored that Vega was secretly repairing the retreat line in the rear.

When the repair is completed.

Vega ordered the whole army to retreat suddenly, and because of the early preparations, the retreat was of course very fast, and Foster was not even given any time to think and plan.

The more anxious you are about anything, the more wrong you will become.

What would Foster do without any time for thought?

Like a reflex, in Vega's view, it was nothing more than ordering an air force to make an emergency sortie to blow up the retreat line, and then send the army to chase after him, trying to make a last resort to keep him here.

None of this is useful.

On the premise that the air force is superior to the Imperial Air Force, as long as you pay some price, you can definitely protect the retreat line. If the tail flanks were to be abandoned and the Imperial army could be stopped, then Vega would easily be able to get out of the quagmire of the Lops War and return safely to the northern hinterland.

It's a pity that Vega's appetite is too big.

This time, if Foster lets him retreat comfortably, forget it, since you dare to chase it out, is it really true that he Vega doesn't dare to swallow your main army of more than 200,000 and take the city of Rops?
