Chapter 742: Alone in the Depths

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

After a round of magic strikes, the Imperial Army, which suffered heavy casualties, finally came to its senses.

The earth mage immediately set up a defense, the spirit mage and the wind mage began to lock on the position of the rebels, and the fire mage also began to chant magic, preparing to counterattack.

However, it is clear that the rebels who have taken the lead will not be able to give the Imperial army a chance.

At the beginning of the magic strike, the ordinary troops were already ready to go, and as soon as the magic strike ended, the ordinary troops took advantage of the enemy's troops to be unable to organize a defensive formation, and directly launched a chaotic battle.

to be prepared for the unprepared.

As soon as the Imperial Army formed a defensive formation, it was immediately dispersed.

In order not to injure their allies, the mages did not dare to unleash area magic, and were reduced to a class of troops that fought in close combat like professionals.

One trades off the other.

The condescending rebels easily found the position of commander.

Taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, he killed the commander in less than half an hour, and at the same time declared the end of the war within five hours, and because of the terrain here, all the 7,000 imperial troops were captured before they could escape.

The Imperial Army originally thought that surrender could be done without killing.

Because the killing of prisoners of war has always been a taboo thing for the mainland countries, once this kind of thing is exposed, the next time the enemy is faced with the enemy, the enemy will not surrender, and when the time comes, the party that does not accept surrender will suffer more losses in the last battle.

It's a pity that things are in a hurry.

The situation clearly did not have the time and energy to receive the prisoners of war, and Coverdale brutally gave an order not to stay, and in the end, in this small canyon, a full 7,000 lives were buried.

"Can we really make it?"

Coverdale asked a little nervously, "If we are exposed in the city, we will be surrounded by the enemy immediately, and I am afraid that no one will be able to escape, we are playing with fire." ”

Resurrection of the soul.

This was the strategy that Vega gave to Coverdale.

This strategy is to kill the Imperial troops who come to transport supplies, and then change into the uniforms of the Imperial Army, and with the help of their numbers, impersonate this army to break through the first and second lines of defense without bloodshed, and directly destroy all the enemy's supplies.

It's easy to see how dangerous this strategy is.

As long as the Imperial inspection is a little stricter, it is easy to spot them.

However, judging from the dereliction of duty of the rear departments, it is obviously impossible to be very strict, so this drama of lending corpses to resurrect souls must have a 60 percent success rate. The intrigue has a 60 percent success rate, which is already very high.

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

Coverdale asked, and he was faithful to the plan.

Soldiers are fast.

That evening, Vega and Coverdale arrived in Jersey with their troops.

Bang.

A flare rises into the air.

This is the code obtained from the torture of the Yan family at the captive, as long as this green signal flare is fired, the soldiers in the city will know that it is the army transporting food is coming, and after a little interrogation, they will open the city gate and let them go.

Coverdale was starting to get a little nervous.

He warned himself not to be nervous, as if he revealed his stuff, he would lose all his efforts.

"It's the convoy coming, opening the door. ”

Everything went even more smoothly than Coverdale had imagined, and the defenders didn't even bother to cross-examine and opened the gates.

This is also a reason for preconceived notions.

For most of the year, every three days at the same time in the evening, a convoy arrived, and at first they would interrogate them strictly, but later it turned out that this was a meaningless act. After once, twice, or dozens of times, as long as the signal flare is fired, it will be directly released, and only when the superior officer inspects the inspection, will he occasionally be strictly interrogated.

Inertia is a terrible thing.

No one doubted at all that although the uniform of this army was still the uniform of the Empire, and the number was also made up, the entire army had all been replaced with souls and became enemies who wanted their lives.

Da Da Da –

With a nervous heart, everyone stepped into the city.

Following the map given by the scouts and the information extracted from the captives, Coverdale led his troops to the location of the logistics warehouse, and the patrols were densely packed along the way, one after another, but unfortunately there was no suspicion of the rebels in disguise.

Maybe it's dark under the lights.

The soldiers defending the city trusted their experience, and the patrol guards trusted the troops defending the city, so that no one noticed the rebels' anomaly, allowing them to infiltrate the vicinity of the warehouse.

"Your Majesty, this is it. ”

Coverdale looked at the neatly scattered logistics warehouses, one after the other, with no end in sight, and said: "Although according to the rules, we can stay here for one night, and the commander of the defenders here will also entertain us, but it will change later, once it is exposed at tonight's dinner, it will be regretted at that time, it is better to act directly now." ”

Vega thought for a moment.

Then he nodded and said: "Although the success rate of the sneak attack in the second half of the night is higher, but as Your Excellency said, there is a great risk of exposure for such a long time, I am in favor of starting to act now, but please be mentally prepared." ”

"What mental preparation?"

"Psychological preparation for the annihilation of the whole army. ”

Vega said without emotion: "Destroy everything here, Your Excellency won't think that we can still break through with the army, right?" Don't hold this illusion, there is a legion of the Imperial Army here, and I will protect you to leave here alone, as for the others, please don't have the mercy of a woman." ”

"Is there no other way?"

"If you want what you want, you have to make sacrifices. ”

"I see. ”

Coverdale made up his mind to trade the total annihilation of the army for all the logistics of the Imperial army.

"Order, the battle begins!"

With Coverdale's order, the whole army began to operate.

Five thousand and five hundred soldiers formed the first line of defense to hold off the Imperial army that was about to arrive, and the remaining 2,000 men assisted the fire mages in burning all the supplies here.

Strike first.

With the chanting of the fire mage, fireballs shot out one after another, igniting the oil room.

Boom Boom Boom –

Explosions echoed through the sky.

The fire of dry wood, coupled with the fuel on the fire, spread quickly.

At this time, the wind mage took the opportunity to exert his strength, and the fire swept away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From a distance, billowing smoke rises from the entire stockpiled area, and according to this trend, as long as the rebels can hold back for six hours, and when the fire is too large to extinguish, the war will be won.

And six hours is not difficult for the rebels who come prepared.

This war can be said to have been won so far, if the rebels in War City operate well, it is even possible to leave Foster's million-strong army here, Haussmann's strategy is indeed a winning strategy, not a retreat strategy for the enemy.
