Chapter 369: Remorse
The war is over.
It ends when the enemy is armed with a spear and tries in vain to confront more than half of the superior forces.
Ordinary soldiers against professionals and magicians?
It's like a group of ancient soldiers armed with swords, guns, and halberds against modern armored fighting vehicles, and unless these armored fighting vehicles run out of fuel, they will not be able to hurt a single hair of a professional or a mage.
Therefore, when reinforcements from Tier 1 satellite cities such as Radiance and Twilight arrived, they saw the ruins, smelled the scorching smell that enveloped the entire city, and found the corpses of their allies.
The defenders of the city lost more than 1,500 deaths.
This is still Vega's busy burning supplies, and if they concentrate on the enemy, the remaining 1,500 people will not even have a chance to escape.
So after questioning the fleeing soldiers, they learned the whole thing.
The logistical supply that supported the 200,000 army for a year and a half was burned clean by the imperial army, while the reserve supply of ordinary troops was generally only about 10 days, and some of them were closest to the warehouse, and the army that had not yet been replenished only had 5 days of reserves.
A big crisis has arisen.
The two commanders-in-chief of the reinforcements looked at each other, ordered the heralds to hurry up and urgently inform the Saya City Headquarters of the situation, and temporarily blocked the news to prevent the whole army from causing a riot.
Hurry up, take the national highway again, and this news will be delivered to Saya City in less than half a day.
"Lord Commander, Starfall City is in a hurry. β
A herald with a helpless look in his eyes burst into the conference room and handed a top-secret battle report to Thanil, the commander-in-chief who was discussing the defense of Saya's city with Ariel Thord and Inglil.
When they heard the three words Starfall City, the three of them chuckled in their hearts at the same time.
"Is it ......?"
Tennir seemed to realize something, his lips turned a little white, and he opened the top-secret battle report with trembling hands.
Let's do itβ
A few seconds later, the report slipped from Tenniel's hand and fell to the ground, while he himself remained in the same position as he read the report, except that his pupils had lost focus, apparently unable to accept reality and entering a state of dementia.
"Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief!"
Both Ingreil and Arri Soder realized the seriousness of the matter, and they asked in trembling voices, "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, is the content of this battle report ......?"
"Bang!"
Tenniel slapped the table heavily and interrupted Inglier's words: "Except for the two division commanders, all the others went out, and ordered the escort to guard the door, and no one was allowed to approach within a radius of 10 meters, and the violator was punished for treason." β
Squeak β
All staff in the room, including the adjutant, left the room and closed the door.
"Two, we've been fooled. β
Tenniel's face turned pale, he picked up the battle report and handed it to the two: "I just got the battle report, that little ghost has gathered more than a thousand high-level military troops to attack Starfall City through the Twilight Mountains, and our supplies have been burned down. That is to say, within 5 days, our army will fall into a crisis of lack of food, and if it drags on for 10 days, our army will collapse without a fight. β
"W-what!"
Inglier's face was full of remorse: "That traitor is really deceiving us, if we didn't believe him in the first place......"
"There is no need to discuss this kind of topic anymore. β
Arrie Thord stopped Ingrid: "That little ghost obviously saw through our focus on defending Starfall City, so he deliberately exposed his flaws. First he sent a traitor to set up some kind of underground organization, and then he was caught by chance, and finally we interrogated him to repeat our plan openly, which easily led us to think that he really didn't plan to attack Starfall, but instead targeted Saya. β
"That's right, we're already stuck in that little imp's rhythm of war. β
Tenniel finally spoke: "Not only did he see through our thoughts, but he even used means to mislead our minds and induce us to make wrong decisions, this kind of strange method I have only seen in my life, I have to admit that even if we gather the wisdom of the three of us, we can't reach the height of that little ghost." β
Still underestimating each other too much.
Tennir had realized that he had underestimated Vega's ambitions.
Oh, yes.
How could that careerist who tried to cover the sky with one hand do such a thing as retreat?
I was deceived by the enemy's words, am I really old?
I'm afraid that from the beginning to the end, that little imp never thought of giving up the city of Saint Laurent, and he even found the only winning point in the desperate situation surrounded by 200,000 troops, and then revitalized the whole game.
"In this game, I lost. β
A convincing tone came from Tenniel's mouth.
As a frog at the bottom of a well, although he has jumped out of the well, he knows very well that the frog at the bottom of the well is the frog at the bottom of the well, even if he jumps out of the well, the sky must be different from that seen by the birds.
What Vega saw was a much wider sky.
And that's exactly what happened.
If the war history of this world is a well, then the war history of China is a vast sea of stars.
Vega had crossed over from Earth, and even though he was just an ordinary young man in front of him, he had never eaten pork and had seen a pig run.
The history of war, full of intrigue and deceit, made him think in the direction of playing yin, but these generals from another world naively wanted to fight a frontal battle, a formation battle, and a conventional war with him?
Although Tanir has tried his best to adapt to Vega's way of fighting, he has also begun to play some tricks.
But unfortunately, he and Vega's minds are not in the same dimension at all.
One is a frog who has just jumped out of the well, and the other is a human who has seen the sea of stars, and their understanding of war is not comparable at all, and Tenniel's methods are only in their own shape and not in their gods.
The fate of the class is obvious.
When the lieutenant reports to Tennir that Menno had fled the previous night, he realizes that he has been tricked by Vega, a goddamn liar, into not even having a pants to cover his shame, and now he has lost his fortune.
"Commander, what are we going to do next?"
Hearing the news that Mennonite had fled, the two of them also looked bad, but the problem still had to be solved, so Ingrid could only ask Tenniel, and now the only backbone was the commander-in-chief.
Although Tenniel also really wants to leave it alone.
But as the commander-in-chief, he understands that the more critical the moment, the more he has to provoke the girder.
Therefore, he analyzed the current situation of the war, and finally found that he could only order the whole army to withdraw from the Saint Laurent defense system overnight, and at the same time order the port city to send supplies in the direction of their withdrawal.
If the troops are not withdrawn.
Within 5 days, the whole army was in disarray, and Vega took the opportunity to launch a general attack, and all his 200,000 troops would be buried here, if these 200,000 people were lost here, it meant that they were not even qualified to continue to control the eastern part of the dynasty.
"Pass the order down, the whole army withdraws ......"
Just as Tennier was about to order the entire army to withdraw from the Saint Laurent defenses, his gaze inadvertently crossed the sand table.
In a flash of inspiration, a shocking gamble suddenly appeared in his brain, and if this gamble was won, it might be able to turn the whole battle around and make that conceited imp taste miscalculation.
