Chapter 31: Shock and Discovery

Hearing the shouts of the staff officer, Xia and Yang Qi glanced at each other in surprise, and the two of them had already hurried to the sand table and took a closer look.

Sure enough, if the barbarians' first-line positions were completely lost, what would be in front of the empire would be the barbarians' second line of defense like a thin piece of paper - and as long as the empire made a breakthrough at any point here, I am afraid that the barbarians' eastern army regiment would be completely trapped in the front line of the Far North fortress.

The two looked at each other excitedly.

"Order--Reward the regiments on the front, and order them to make persistent efforts to make another breakthrough! The reloaded cluster is right behind them! As long as they make a final breakthrough at any point, the reloading cluster will be driven straight in, and this time, if the barbarians retreat, then they will be beaten back to the Far North Forest by us! ”

Summer was on his feet, and he was already commanding excitedly.

~~~~~~~~~

"Hurry up! Faster! ”

On the surging fleet, a barbarian Sky Demon Warlord was wielding a war knife, floating on the bow of the first ship and shouting to his side.

Hearing his order, the speed of the barbarian fleet increased again, and all kinds of wind techniques blew towards the sails of the ship, raising the speed of the warships full of barbarian infantry and wolf riders again and again.

"Yo ......" Seeing this scene, the Barbarian Sky Demon Zhan nodded with satisfaction.

"Little ones, we are not far from the landing point, have you remembered the words of Lord Longer? In the last war, the tragic memories given to us by the Chinese Human Expedition to the West Legion, this time, our Fifth Legion will pay tribute to them! When the time comes, everyone's credit will be great! Perhaps, you will be honored and received by His Majesty the Celestial Gods! ”

He shouted at the boats with a strange scream, which immediately caused a burst of screams and laughter from the boats.

Then, the fleet frantically headed south under the extremely violent wind sequence.

~~~~~~~~~

"Hurry up! Faster! ”

Su Ping and Zhou Du and the others moved forward cautiously.

Not far from them, the flames of war were rising on a hill.

Although he was surprised and glad that the empire had actually hit the line of the Great Wall, Su Ping's heart was haunted by a feeling of uneasiness more and more—the strange camp. The barbarians inexplicably slaughtered the young beasts.

Although Su Ping couldn't understand why, a scout's intuition told him that if something went wrong, he would be a demon!

Gotta get the report we saw! We don't know why, but the group of staff officers with crooked stomachs may not know, and the commander and Chief of Staff Xia may not be able to guess.

Su Ping thought sullenly, but he hurriedly urged Zhou Du and the others behind him.

The three of them leaped wildly, but they gradually interspersed through the gaps in the battlefield with dexterity. Eventually, they gradually disappeared south of the mountains on the defensive line of the Great Wall.

~~~~~~~~~

"Yo...... Sure enough, it's a good place! ”

The Barbarian Sky Demon Battle looked triumphantly at the tidal flats in front of him and the endless snowfields behind him.

Behind him. Huge groups of barbarians were jumping from the sinking ship, laughing and screaming, and gradually gathered together in a long column.

"Let the little ones move fast! Assemble your army quickly! We will cut off the back road of the human army horizontally by marching in a hurry! Build a defensive line on the front line of Mapoling - it is said that the Chinese have been guarding us there for eight days, and we don't need to be so long, Lord Longer said, we only need to defend for three days, and the Chinese who are trapped by us on the snowy fields in the far north will be cut off in the back road. In front of us, under the pursuit and blow of our superior forces, it completely collapsed! ”

The Barbarian Firmament Demon Battle shouted back.

……

Behind him, strange screams and cheers rang out one after another in the military formation.

Immediately, the Firmament Demon War was in the midst of this large expanse of frenzied screams. Drew his sword.

"Little ones, let's go and smash the assholes of the Chinese people, and establish a great feat that my god will approve! Head to the Arctic Snowfield! Kill! ”

In the frenzied strange cry, the barbarian columns sank. With a rapid march, they were already cutting across the snowfields of the far north.

~~~~~~~~~

"What? When you returned from the depths of the Far North under the leadership of your company commander. Found several spooky camps along the way? The barbarians are still slaughtering young animals on a large scale, and there seem to be signs of removing the nomadic camps? ”

Summer looked at Zhou Yibin and Du Wanqing in front of him in shock.

"What's going on? Where's your company commander? He asked urgently.

"The company commander has gone to His Highness, his task is to search the far north, and he must first go to pay the order. But he always thought this series of situations was strange, so he told us to report separately. Here's how it goes......"

Zhou Yibin thought about it and described it.

Summer's face is more and more frightened and moved by his description.

……

"How is that possible...... How dare the barbarians remove those nomadic camps? The loss of grain brought by them from the western continent was too great, and didn't they always rely on those nomadic camps to support some of the food, so that the loss was reduced to an acceptable range? How could it be ......"

"Are they being forced by us under the Far North Fortress? I had to transfer the meager troops in the forest to defend? But the time is not right, at that time, we were still playing Da Linghe, and they didn't realize that we were playing for real, so they began to be anxious? How can it be? ”

"A heavily guarded, more defensive reconnaissance than a suspected large-scale grain transfer station that is guarded against infiltration and sabotage? Su Ping's analysis makes sense...... Since we found out that it was difficult to get it during a battle, we haven't infiltrated and destroyed their food supply much......"

"And if it's anti-infiltration sabotage, what are they doing with their heavily guarded sentry posts so far away? And put it on the mountain? It seems more like something we don't want to see in the mountains, but it's pretending to be a grain transfer station......"

Xia couldn't stop muttering, and then, he looked at Zhou Du and the others again.

……

"How do you know it's a grain transfer station? Is there a grain truck in and out? ”

He asked hurriedly.

"Yes, sir, and a lot."

Zhou Yibin replied.

"That's weird...... Generally speaking, the place where the grain trucks frequently come and go is indeed likely to be a food transfer station, but there is no need to spread the warning so far...... Anti-reconnaissance, not anti-sabotage? How could it be ......"

"There is a need for frequent entry and exit of grain trucks, in addition to food transfer stations, what other types of places are also needed?"

Summer suddenly seemed to think of something, and his expression was a little pale. There were some doubts and disbelief, but they asked the staff group behind them.

"Temporary large barracks are also needed, sir, if not enough food has been stocked up beforehand."

A staff officer thought for a moment and replied.

……

"I think those weird places are more like hiding places, sir. You think, it's true that food transfer stations need grain trucks to come and go frequently, but so do places where soldiers are hidden! And, if you think about it this way, then it is easy to explain that the guard is so far away - there are barbarian ambushes there. A large number of ambushes! ”

A staff officer guessed with a suddenly pale face.

"That's what I thought too......"

Summer muttered in horror.

"But how did they get here...... There was no warning from the west, and our scouts didn't notice any unusual troop movements—we've been concerned about this since the four wars......"

Immediately, he muttered again.

"We are only concerned about large-scale troop movements, and we can only focus on that. But if they come in small batches......"

A staff officer suddenly turned pale again.

……

"So......" Yang Qi, who had been listening silently on the side, also became extremely solemn.

"There's weirdness! Sir, it's definitely weird! Summer's face already showed a hint of abruptness and panic.

"Sir, think about the whole process of this great war - at first, the barbarians seemed to think that we were just leading the war. was really caught off guard by our play, so it was normal to show defeat. ”

"Then, our heavy pack was trapped in the far north by a mysterious wolf rider commander of the Barbarians! The commander was cunning indeed—at least the kind with great strategic vision and excellent tactical skills. But where did that wolf rider commander start? Why are we in the Great Wars. I've fought with the Wolf Rider and never seem to have met that commander? ”

"And when the barbarians found out about His Highness, why didn't they send him out to attack and kill His Highness? You know, the barbarians hate His Highness to the bone! There is such a good opportunity. Can they not send the smartest commanders? ”

……

"So, this barbarian wolf rider commander seems to have spotted our reloaded group trying to cut off their rear path laterally. Caught off guard and even out of desperation, it suddenly appeared! But why? And for what did they keep hiding that commander? ”

Summer's tone was full of surprise.

"Then, we encountered unprecedented difficulties on the front line of the Great Wall, and only now did we break through the first line of defense of the barbarians - but I suddenly wondered, why did we break through? Is it true that the barbarians can't hold on? The front line reports that every time the barbarians can't hold on, there will always be no more or no less reinforcements! Why is that? ”

"And the reason why they suddenly seemed to be unable to hold on when we began to retreat, let us taste the sweetness, and wanted to finish the battle and continue to attack, why?"

……

The room was approaching, and everyone seemed shocked by the series of questions raised by their chief of staff, and Summer, in the midst of a series of questions, was already full of hideous faces.

"Putting it all together, all of this, points to a name that's hard to imagine, but most likely does exist! Longer! ”

"He came to the Eastern Front, and at this time he was on the Eastern Front! And he seems to have a big plan! is leading us step by step into his trap without knowing it! Big plan! ”

Summer gritted her teeth and said!

Just two words, but it caused a big uproar in the headquarters!

"Impossible!" "No, it won't!" "How so!" Exclamations rang out one after another in the command headquarters. (To be continued......)
