Chapter 377: Stalemate
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The six "Meteor Cannons" roared angrily and spewed out one after another "Flame Blast" cannonballs, which smashed fiercely on the front wall of the fortress in Hengduan Mountain Road. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ However, the fifteen-meter-tall and eight-meter-wide walls stood tall and stood tall under heavy artillery fire, eclipsing the nickname of the "City Wall Killer" of the Meteor Cannon.
However, a large part of this is due to the sappers who braved the fire of the artillery to repair the walls. They were the heroes of the Imperial Army, so when they came into the sight of the commander of the Fourth Army of the Kingdom Army, the second general, Arare Bysutenin through the monoculars, Yanran became the object of his scolding.
"Isn't this cheating!" Alaery, who was standing on the lookout, put down his monoculars and immediately complained to his staff officer, Captain Wan, George Rukat.
"There are no rules for this war. So, sir, I don't think they're cheating. In fact, the fact that it had already prevented us from marching for two weeks was a tactic that worked. β

"Excuse me, Your Excellency, is this a divine word?"
"Ahh These days, I have been muttering to our liaison officer, and I think it is quite imposing, so I asked him if he could use it. He agreed, and said that I should not control the scolding. β
"So, this is for swearing?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. The subordinates just feel that it is rare for you to consult the liaison officer, and it is too much of a waste of resources to learn only one curse word. β
"Really?" Arari was a little unconvinced, "and what did you learn?"
"Eagle Eye, Your Excellency. The Chief of Staff nodded politely.
Hearing this, Arari couldn't help but be stunned, and then said: "That's why you don't need a telescope." β
"Yes, Your Excellency. β
Looking at George who stood with his hands in his hands and looked into the distance, and then looked at himself who had to hold the binoculars, Arari always had a feeling of losing, which made him even more depressed.
Immediately, he rolled over and grabbed the edge of the lookout and shouted to the communications soldiers below.
"Attack the whole army! Kill them to death!"
"Yes!" the sentry guarding the lookout quickly replied, and then hurriedly conveyed the order.
"Hmph. Lao Tzu can't beat the city wall, can't he beat your soldiers!" Turning around and looking at the enemy fortress in the distance, Alari said with some anger, "Killing one is enough, killing two earns one!"
"Please be cautious. George immediately reminded him of this, "You are only qualified to say this kind of thing when you are the first to do so." Otherwise, you will make the soldier feel that you are an incompetent boss who will only make them desperate and hide in a safe place. β
"Why should I stay here and knock wood?" said Arari, a little resentful, knocking on the eaves of the lookout, "isn't that what you strongly requested, my counselor. β
"Of course, you are the commander of the army, and you are the general in charge of the Chinese army. β
"Now you don't need any general's demeanor, now you need a warrior who can slash the unlucky iron city gate with one sword!"
"With all due respect, Your Excellency, you can't do it. George said sincerely, but it made Arari angry enough.
"I know!"
"Then again. If you want to open up this situation, there are really only two ways. β
"Increase the number of 'Meteor Cannons'. β
"Or find the nobles of the battle group. Do you need me to submit a petition to the Liaison Officer?"
"Didn't you just submit it the day before yesterday?
"The tide of battle is changing, Your Excellency. So I believe that the thoughts of His Excellency the King and the generals of the command are not set in stone either. β
"Our grand strategy is a war of attrition, as it is now. Oh my God, what the hell is this a bad idea!"
"As far as I am concerned, Your Excellency, this is not a very bad idea. In fact, to this day, the daily casualties of our army have been controlled to zero deaths, and there are no more than three serious casualties. And we have formed medics who can use healing. On the other hand, the other side suffered heavy casualties. In terms of supplies, thanks to the blessing of Lord Banrashuka, it is also foolproof. If this continues, the enemy army will be dragged down sooner or later, and this side does not refer to the small forces in front of us, but to the entire Twilight Empire. It's just that the people who developed this strategy seem to have forgotten to calculate a little. β
"Which point?"
"The mental health of the soldiers. With that, George looked at the attacking siege army. A deep exhaustion was engraved on the faces of each soldier, and even though they were well supplied and healthy, two weeks of indecency had already left them feeling empty.
"Twelve combat troops, ten engineers, and twenty-two people killed in battle. Seriously injured ......"
During the night, Dilan, who was reporting today's battle damage, stopped talking when he saw Marshal Miridrian, who was leaning back to the sand table, raised his hand. The Kingdom Army has the troubles of the Kingdom Army, and the Imperial Army has the troubles of the Imperial Army.
"What about the enemy, I guess it's fine......" Miridian asked in a tired voice.
"......" Dylan hesitated for a moment and then reported truthfully, "There are zero casualties. β
"Alas!" Miridrian sighed, then shook his head.
"Your Excellency, what shall we do?"
"What else can I do? Hold on as long as this fortress is still here. β
"But your Excellency, if this continues, we will only be being consumed unilaterally! Moreover, our supplies have already begun to be problematic, and there will be no meat supply tonight. β
"Wait a minute!" said Miridrian, turning back suddenly, with a serious expression, "there is no meat left?" β
"I was about to tell you about it. Dylan showed an indignant expression, "The transport officer told me that our supplies are being misappropriated by those nobles in the rear without authorization, and it has been going on for more than a week. The transport officer couldn't bear it anymore, so he told me. β
Hearing this, Miridrian didn't say anything immediately, he gritted his teeth and gasped heavily, as if to suppress his anger. But in the end, it didn't work out.
"Bang!"
Miridian turned around and kicked down the desk in the office, and some of the fragile things fell into crumbs.
"These bastards!" Immediately, the marshal scolded, "I have already set aside the amount of honor for them, and I actually ...... The soldiers are really insatiable! The soldiers defend their homes and the country, and if they do this behind them, they are not afraid of provoking a mutiny! Pigs! Stupid pigs! What a hundred thousand stupid, stupid, and damned pigs!"
"Your Excellency, I think we might as well transfer them over as substitutes for the dead! β
Hearing Dylan say this, Miridian took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Dylan, do you think I'm willing to let our soldiers die and let the useless waste eat and drink in the rear? I do this because those people are useless! If I call them here, this fortress won't be able to hold even a day!"
This situation, Dylan naturally understands, but he does feel unbearable for the status quo.
"Perhaps, we can consider opening a second front to share the pressure. β
"That's a way to go. But I'm really not in favor of that. β
"Why?"
"First, we have not yet found out the full picture of the enemy's forces, and it may be self-defeating to rush into a second front. Second, it's just a simple feeling. I now feel like our opponents are really unfathomable. They may be casting a wide net waiting for us to hit it. β
ps: Ladies and gentlemen, the pavilion where three days of fishing and two days of drying nets has been resurrected again. Ah. I'm embarrassed to say that. However, it can be regarded as helpless, and the pavilion now has three books in his hand. Two long stories and one short story collection. Because now the work of "Magic Code" is not the main work.,And I don't want to write something to make up the word count.,So when there are some problems on the main side, you have to sacrifice this side.,This is the case with this unexpected stop.γ I'm really sorry. There is also the short story collection mentioned above, including the website, the pavilion posted a lot of places, and then there were readers who strongly asked to hurry up and write the next story. So,From this week onwards, this book will probably be changed to every other day.,Because it's a short story, it won't be very long.,Please forgive me.γ
