"What the hell is this place......

Su Ping lay motionless on the snow, and he muttered softly against the sniper scope.

Immediately, he turned to Zhou Du and the others, who were aiming at something at the same time: "Have we scouted here before?" ”

He asked softly.

"Nope."

Zhou Yibin also put down his gun, he shook his head: "Company commander, this is already an infinite position near the sea in the depths of the extreme north, if we hadn't searched for the traces left by His Highness Ning all the way, we wouldn't have passed through here when we returned to the front line - not to mention others, except for some grazing camps, there would be no reconnaissance value here." ”

"But what's weird...... How did such a heavily guarded place come out of here? ”

He also said suspiciously.

……

"yes...... Too weird, so heavily guarded? What's hidden in it? A small valley surrounded by mountains? Even the mountains are full of guard posts? Reconnaissance is completely impossible? It feels like they're guarding us scouts......"

Su Ping leaned over the sniper scope again, and he muttered.

"I think it's like a large grain storage and transfer station, but this one seems bigger than what we've seen before."

Du Wanqing, who was beside the two, said in a low voice.

"You notice that there is no gate at the mouth of their valley, and like a few of us have seen before, there are constant wagons coming in and out. Most of the incoming ones were transported from the west and the Far North Forest, but most of the outgoing ones were sent to the Far North Fortress and Far North Harbor in the south, and more were in the direction of the Far North Harbor. ”

"Then these secrets and guards have also been explained, for the barbarians who do not rely on magic costumes, military rations are the most important thing, and their only logistics. They're guarding us scouts, maybe to prevent us from infiltrating and wreathing? After all, it seemed to be a lot bigger than the staging stations we'd seen - such a big place, I don't know how much food was stored, and there was enough fire for them. ”

He said guessingly.

……

"It's possible ......"

Su Ping continued to murmur: "But I always feel a little strange, their grain transfer stations are not located in the Far North Fortress, they are all located in the Far North Forest, where the magic costume has failed, I understand very well, I am afraid of being bombed by the air force - after all, if you can exchange some air force for the barbarians to have no food, then the deal is very cost-effective." ”

"But what's strange to me is that this place isn't in a very good location...... It can only be said that the terrain in this vicinity is the most conducive to defense and anti-infiltration reconnaissance. But what are the barbarians doing with great fanfare to set up a large transit station in such a terrain? Is it so afraid that we will be afraid of sabotage? ”

"I don't think we've done much damage to their ration logistics, right? On the one hand, they have always been very well guarded, on the other hand, this is not the Western Continent, there are puppet troops, there are surrenderers, familiar with the terrain, can easily infiltrate - here except for barbarians, they are barbarians, and it is also a demon suit failure area, who is so capable of sneaking in and causing destruction? So, what are they so precautionary for? ”

Su Ping asked suspiciously.

……

"Then I don't know...... But company commander, you're too suspicious...... Maybe the barbarians were frightened by the destruction of the Western Continent, so they simply ordered this side to guard against us, or directly formed regulations and other norms. ”

"Company commander, you must know that even if our emperor [***] marches and camps in non-war times, he must abide by the norms and regulations, according to what you say, what do we take precautions against."

Zhou Yibin was a little unimpressed.

"It's also possible...... But I always find it a little weird. ”

Su Ping muttered lowly, and then, he shook his head with a smile.

"Forget it, I don't want to, I'm thinking about how to tactfully treat my brother-in-law to my sister...... It's a matter of worrying when you say it. Count the ball, just go back and report, let's go around and return to the camp as quickly as possible. ”

"Yes!" Zhou Du and the others had already put away their sniper rifles when they heard the sound, but they left the observation position lightly.

Su Ping did the same and retreated from the observation position.

"I don't know how the war is going in the Empire now...... Why do I always think this place is weird? ”

He muttered in a low voice, and once again glanced deeply at the hazy barbarian camp in the distance, and disappeared into the vast forest with Zhou Du and the others.

～～～～～～～～～

"It's a pity that it's not done...... It could have been a battle of annihilation that would have won the game, but it was dragged into a pursuit battle by those damn wolf riders. ”

Yang Qi stood in a large tent in a camp in the Extreme North Snow Field, staring at the sand table and sighing lowly.

In his eyes, the small barbarian green flags on the north bank of the Daling River on the sand table had disappeared one after another, but they appeared in large numbers in larger numbers in the more northerly position—the position north of the dense small red flags. To the west of the small red flag, there are still some scattered small green flags stubbornly planted there, and there is also a green passage there.

"It's all my ...... to blame"

Xia beside him said gloomily: "I'm too concerned about the gains and losses of one time and one place, maybe if I spend more energy thinking about how to break through, there will be a better way and faster speed - I thought that after fighting a few counter-encirclements, the barbarians would not dare to set up encirclements so boldly." ”

"Who knows that it's not enough for them to be taught a few times, they seem to be addicted to playing, and they ended up fighting a bad battle with me there! When I reacted in the triumph of several victories, they were actually exchanging small losses for a big retreat, only to find that the fighter plane was dead and it was too late. ”

He whipped the ground hatefully, but said depressedly.

……

"You can't be blamed for that."

Yang Qi looked at him kindly: "You have done well enough, if it is someone else, you may be played around, and you can at least play a winning game - the opponent who suddenly appeared on the opposite side is indeed very cunning." ”

"Now we haven't done everything, but we've already done a huge loss to them. After all, even if they run out, it is impossible for us to go back with all the beards and tails after being beaten up in the ass. ”

"More critically, they also lost the terrain of the Great Ling River. At present, we can be said to be able to attack and retreat, and although we have not decided the outcome of a single battle, it is after all only the most perfect result of the conception -- this battle, at least half of our strategic plan has been realized. The barbarians' long river of natural danger is finally gone now. ”

He looked at Summer and said comfortingly.

……

"It's just that we have lost a lot...... Even the reloaded cluster consumes a lot of money against the barbarian wolf ride. ”

The summer look is still a little depressed.

"There's no way, after all, we're attacking and defending--if it weren't for the desperate Saburo who opened a gap in Mapoling, we don't know how much blood we would have lost to get the result we have now. Moreover, at least this time, the barbarians on the opposite side lost no less blood than us, although most of them fled back, but in the pursuit battle, we also bit off a few bites of flesh. ”

Yang Qi still said with a smile.

"It's just—"

Summer hesitated and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yang Qi.

"Don't just blame yourself. It is impossible for the outcome of every campaign to be consistent with the original strategic plan -- you know, our navy is still making a strategic plan to break through to the far north and threaten the far north port, but they are still at the junction of the far north sea and the East China Sea, and they are inextricably entangled with the barbarian navy. ”

……

"So, in the summer, in fact, we have achieved results that are beyond our imagination. And now we should think more about the fact that we have broken through to the far north of the snowfield, so what should we do next? Go on the offensive? Or do you want to take it when you see it? ”

"If we continue to attack, we must intensify our pursuit and try to make the barbarians lose more blood in the retreat, so that we can attack the fortress of the Far North in the future. And if we accept it when we see that it is good, we can take advantage of the panic and flee to build a defensive line on the north bank of the Daling River in situ -- at least this time, we can no longer let the barbarians have the advantage of the Daling River where they can advance and retreat. ”

"And this has perfectly achieved our goal of containment - it is impossible for the barbarians to dare to increase their troops to the west after losing the geographical advantage of the Daling River and suffering a lot of losses. The current situation is that we have seized the initiative and will fight if we want, and if we don't want to fight, we will not fight, but their Eastern Army Regiment only dares to confront us on the front line of the Far North Fortress, and does not even dare to easily go out of the Far North Snow Field. ”

He looked solemnly at Summer and said slowly.

……

Summer is also a little invigorating.

He looked at the sand table and pondered, and after a long time, he said: "Sir, I am more inclined to continue the offensive - although we have reached our minimum strategy, but under a small victory, we do not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and begin to hesitate, which is not in line with the enterprising and competitive spirit of our Emperor [***] team. ”

"And, as you say, we have now thoroughly seized the initiative on the battlefield. Well, it's a good idea to try your luck at the Far North Fortress first. After all, if we feel that it is difficult to defeat in a hurry, we can just turn around and leave, and the barbarians will not dare to come out to pursue us. ”

"And we don't know what the fight is like on the Western Continent yet, we can only use carrier pigeons to transmit news to the inland behind, and the magic field is too annoying. Therefore, before I got the news of the great victory of the Western Continent, I was always a little unable to believe the Western Continent and their plans. ”

……

"If I can, I still want to go to the Far North Fortress to see the situation, although the barbarians have not been defeated this time, they are also broken, and we will attack the front line of the Far North Fortress this time, which is much inferior to the Great Ling River - the fortress is very useful to us, but the barbarians don't have those permanent artillery groups. For them, it was not as good as Da Linghe. ”

"Therefore, I think we still have the ability and great hope to break through the first line of the barbarian Far North fortress once again - at that time, it will not be the result of our mere containment of the barbarian Eastern Army Regiment. Instead, they decided to win a big victory, or they had to drag away a lot of barbarian troops from the west. ”

"In that case, even if we can't win a big victory, and the west side is dragged away by us with a lot of barbarians, how can we make a little better use of superior forces against even fewer inferior forces......"

He muttered under his breath.

……

"Well, that's what I thought too. When the last battle comes, let's share more for the west -- even if we can't win it all, we have to use the last bit of strength and do our best. ”

Yang Qi nodded, he already said approvingly.

"Go, order the troops, advance on all fronts, and reach the front line of the Far North Fortress!"

Immediately, he shouted an order to one of the staff officers beside him. (To be continued.) )
