Section 24 Breaking the siege

"Sit and wait to die? Well, that's a good point, now our posture can be called sitting and waiting, we can't get any news on the Western Front at the moment, and the logistics supply is about to run out, hehe, we Tanghe people have a saying, the blind man rides a blind horse, and the deep pool is in the middle of the night, the situation is like this, I don't know if it's a portrayal of us now?" The dragon shrugged his shoulders to self-deprecation, looking helpless. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that Mulong and the two of them were bothered by the logistics supply problem, Xiong Daoyuan sat down in the chair next to him in frustration and muttered to himself: "Are we really trapped here like this and do nothing? ”
"Don't be so pessimistic, we have a very troublesome logistical supply problem right now, but we are here to stay, the Kamanes' hoplites have never been able to achieve the best advantage, and our hoplites have also made them suffer, I believe their commander is also a headache, how to break the current stalemate is not only bothering us unilaterally, the Kamans are also trying to figure out a way. It's just that we don't know the situation on Lord Li's side on the Western Front now, and how the battle situation is going is crucial to what measures and means should be taken on our side, and it seems that it will take a day or two before news comes. Mu Lige cheered up and cheered the two of them up.
"Hehe, if Master Li can make a breakthrough on the Western Front, it's worth it for us to defend here, but don't let us stay here for a month or two, then we will really be trapped here. The dragon himself half-jokingly agreed, hoping to ease the somewhat gloomy atmosphere.
"Well, I'm thinking, as long as Lord Li can defeat the Kamans on the Western Front, the siege on our side will be solved sooner or later, and the sons and daughters are willing to pay no matter what the price. Xiong Daoyuan is full of confidence and admiration for Li Wufeng, as half of Gao Yue, he also inherited the surname of Gao Yue, and has a blind worship of Li Wufeng.
"Well, our losses are not small, but the Kamans are also deeply injured, hehe, war, there will be a price, if the Kamans think that they can easily take us down, then they are very wrong, there is no such good thing in the world!" Mu Lige's face became extremely solemn at this moment, and an extremely confident momentum slowly poured out from him.
The teacup in Dominić's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, his face turned pale in an instant, his hands were firmly on the case, as if he was about to support his overwhelmed body, he couldn't speak for a long time, and only the heavy wheezing sound was heard in the whole tent.
"Has the situation been confirmed?" The hoarse voice and the confident tone in Fang Cai's tone were like the two of them, and Dominic asked slowly after a long time.
"Back to my lord, it's confirmed. The situation stated by a dozen soldiers who were lucky enough to escape was basically the same, and there were not many discrepancies, and the whereabouts of Viscount Sergei are now unknown. The adjutant lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"The whole army is annihilated? Li Wufeng, what a move to encircle the point and send reinforcements. As if talking to himself, as if to be heard, Dominic let out a long breath, and pressed his left thumb and middle finger vigorously on the temples on both sides of his head, relieving the tension and boredom in his heart.
Dominic sighed, the task given to him by Lord Miley seems to be difficult to complete, and now it has only been a few days that it has come to such a result, how should he explain to Mistress Miley? Looking out of the tent, Dominic shook his head, he didn't need to think too much, the only thing he should do now was to report to Mistress Miley immediately and ask him to make a decision, before that, he had to do his best to preserve the remaining tens of thousands of living forces.
The horn sounded again, this was the clarion call to collect the troops and return to the camp, and Miley stood on a high place and silently watched the front line, the setting sun was sinking, and a faint golden light enveloped the entire battlefield, heralding the end of a bloody day. Another day has passed, and it has been in vain, and they have been staying here for a week, these guys are really tenacious enough, they can withstand the repeated impact of their ironclad cavalry without breaking up, and they have also caused considerable losses to their ironclad cavalry, thinking of this, Miley can't help but feel a slight pain in his heart, these are the most elite heavy cavalry in the empire, and every time one is successfully trained, how much effort and money does it take.
Frowning slightly, Miley's silver hair looked more flowing in the setting sun, and a pair of deep eyes flowed, but he didn't say a word. Li Wufeng, this guy, really brought the heavenly surname of these Gao Yue barbarians into full play, with a strong physique and a powerful special surname, he is really the best choice for hoplites, with a spear and a halberd and a heavy shield, the iron cavalry under his command is as powerful as his own and has suffered a big loss.
However, the art of war lies in the final outcome of the victory or defeat, no matter how brave and tenacious they are, they always belong to the defensive side, defense means passivity, and the best defense is offense. Although they now relied on the advantage of geographical advantages and hoplites to withstand their own attack, their own side, which had the initiative in their hands, could rely on the advantage of cavalry to force the opponent to retreat and retreat in the camp.
It stands to reason that according to the information and common sense they have obtained, there should be little food and grass left for these guys in front of them, and without food, it will be difficult for you to hold on for long even if you are an Arhat cast in iron and copper, Miley narrowed his eyes slightly, and moved his gaze westward thoughtfully, I hope Dominich will not let himself down, as long as he survives this period of time, everything will be fine.
However, it seemed that the change of things was not transferred by his will, and before he had collected his troops and returned to the camp, a fast horse had galloped in, and although Miley's face had not changed from afar, he sighed in his heart, and a bad premonition hovered in his heart.
When he returned to the camp, Miley's face was gloomy, and he received two urgent letters, one more frustrating than the other. Tossing and turning alone in the handsome tent, the situation in front of him seems to have been reversed all of a sudden, but his own side, which was originally a sure victory, suddenly fell into a quagmire, if he didn't hurry up, what was the waiting ending, even Miley himself had no bottom in his heart.
The Prime Minister's urgent matter is still there on the desk, and it seems that the nobles in the court and the central government can't wait to take advantage of the Barbarian rebellion to raise objections to the Prime Minister's policy, and it seems that His Majesty the Emperor also has some support for those nobles this time, can it really be a mess? All kinds of complicated things in Miley's mind suddenly popped up.
Originally, the rebellion of the Baiyin barbarians was nothing new, and the empire had always taken the means of suppressing and appeasing, and always confined the Baiyin people to the wasteland in the north of the empire and could not cross the thunder pond for half a step, although the Baiyin people were brave but had never set off such a large-scale turmoil as this one, and these nobles in the country generally did not easily clash with the prime minister and the military in power, but now the performance seems to be far beyond their imagination, not only the nobles unite to exert pressure like the prime minister, but even the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been inclined to the prime minister, has become strange, what is the mystery in the middle?
Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor's trust in the Prime Minister has changed, or is the Prime Minister's actions no longer in line with His Majesty's wishes? Thinking of this, the quiet Miley couldn't help but shudder, this is not a trivial problem, he knows the cruelty of political struggle in the middle of the Floating Empire for decades, if there is a conflict between the opinions of His Majesty the Emperor and the Prime Minister, it is the continuation of the entire imperial policy that will be affected in the end. He didn't dare to think about it further, as an orthodox soldier of the empire, he didn't want to get involved in the political struggle between the imperial court, but he also clearly realized that the current prime minister may be the only hope for the rejuvenation of the empire.
It's just that His Majesty the Emperor has been trusting the Prime Minister for more than ten years, how could he suddenly change his attitude and become ambiguous this time, otherwise those hateful nobles would never dare to be so rampant, this series of questions are entangled in Miley's mind, making Miley upset. Dominic, a fool, actually fell for the transfer of the tiger from the mountain, lost the fighter plane in vain, and now there are only 40,000 people left, how can he resist the offensive of Li Wufeng's army, if he does not return to the division immediately, I am afraid that the remaining army will really be exhausted.
With a long sigh of relief, Miley reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the enemy camp that was trapped in the middle by himself, it was a pity, as long as he gave himself another month, he could definitely annihilate all these guys, but unfortunately things changed with time, maybe there would never be such a chance in the future. However, the domestic situation is unpredictable, and the remaining army is in danger, and it is true that they can no longer be indifferent, no matter what, as long as the domestic situation is stabilized, everything can be started again, and there will always be a chance.
On June 15, 696 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, the Carman army, which had besieged three divisions of the Northwest Army on the southern front for nearly half a month, suddenly returned to the city of Merrington, and after a slight clash with the Northwest Army that annihilated the 40,000 Karman army, both sides invariably broke away from the battlefield.
On June 29, 696 in the mainland Gregorian calendar, after seven days of bloody battles, the main army led by the Hui division led the main army and Nick to break through the city of Van Lin, and the entire northern part of Gerok completely fell into the hands of the Kamans, and the First Gelok War ended.
