Chapter 294: Forced to retreat
The city of Grey Goose has been captured, and the coalition forces are now left with only one supply route, the Hengduan Mountain Tunnel. However, the passage of the Hengduan Mountains is so narrow, and the amount of materials that can pass through it every day is so much, it is simply not enough for the front-line battlefield of the coalition army, and a large part of it is vacant.
The three Supreme Commanders were already considering reducing the amount of food they had to offer, and if they didn't, they would only have enough to feed half of the army with new supplies each day. Maybe they can hold on to the inventory they left behind for a while, but those stocks can't be used, otherwise if the passage of the Hengduan Mountains is also cut off by the demons, will they let the soldiers of the coalition army drink the northwest wind?
"It's really too early to cut late, now that we have cut off our supply channel, if the food ration is reduced, the soldiers will not have enough to eat, how can they have the strength to fight the demons on the battlefield?" Li Lan, Vlakansky, you two are thinking about something. ”
"Maybe we can go the way of our elves, find other areas bordering the human race that can accommodate the passage of materials, and then transport them here through the territory of the elves. Li Lan said.
"I'm afraid not. The biggest passage between your elves and our human race is the road in Grey Goose City, and the rest of the place is either blocked by high mountains, or there are only some small roads, which cannot accommodate a large number of supplies passing through, and even if you can find a way, I don't believe that you elves can quickly send materials to the frontline battlefield...... Everyone knows that your elven race's grinding ability is the best in the whole continent. ”
Nicholas shook his head and vetoed Li Lan's proposal. Although Li Lan's method is feasible, Nicholas really disagrees with the transportation speed of the elves, these peace-loving guys are big fans of slow life, and now they have developed the problem of being slow in everything. Getting the elves to deliver supplies quickly is even harder than climbing to the sky!
The temperature in early summer was not low, and a warm breeze blew through the tent that served as the headquarters, rolling up the curtain at the door of the tent and bringing in the sunlight outside.
It was a beautiful picture, and if it weren't for the fact that the three commanders were thinking about something, such a scene would definitely calm their minds. However, they couldn't stop thinking now, and the cold sweat was already wet on their backs. The three of them knew that if a more suitable alternative was not found, the supply-starved coalition would be defeated, and they would be driven out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range by demons, and the coalition's plan to intercept the other party here would be a complete failure.
"Maybe we can try to take back Grey Goose?" Frankensky said. In his impression, as long as someone took the dwarves' things, the dwarves would definitely chase and kill three thousand miles to take them back. The best way to solve the problem is, of course, force, which is convenient and effective.
Nicholas was silent in a low voice, he didn't want to be led into the same fool by this dwarf with a head full of muscles. Fighting wars and wars, the dwarves want to fight and want to go crazy, don't they know that only the dead are needed to fight!
Nicholas wanted to grab Frankensky's beard, pull him in front of him, and ask him the question loudly.
This is equivalent to not being able to think of a way, and Nicholas angrily hammered his fist in the air a few times.
"Let's do as you say for the time being, Li Lan. Nicholas looked at Li Lan, the method that the other party said was the only way to get supplies now, although the speed of the elven tribe's delivery may be slow, and there may not be a way, but it is better than nothing.
"I knew that I would arrange for the right people to deliver the supplies as quickly as possible. Li Lan nodded, he also knew that the current emergency could not be delayed.
"If you can't find a road where you can transport a lot of material, you can have them break up the supplies and transport them through different paths, the big deal is that we will have some trouble when we receive them, but as long as the coalition continues to defend itself against the demons here, it will be a little more troublesome for the coalition to continue to defend itself here." ”
"That's all there is to it for now. He was slumped in a high-backed chair, his eyes glazed.
On the front line of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, the three coalition commanders were overwhelmed by the blockage of the supply road caused by the demon's raid on Grey Goose City. Here, Suramir and Gadar are not having a good time either.
Gloomy led the demons to raid Grey Goose City and blocked the supply path, which not only caused the coalition forces of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountains to not have enough supplies, but also caused the Black Flag Army and the Black Vulture Legion to lose their supply sources.
And they have to watch out for the demon troops from Gray Goose City every day, otherwise they may be pressed by the opponent's army one day, and the 200,000 people they are stationed here do not have towering walls and strong city defense weapons to protect them, let alone block them, they can't even block it.
The barracks made up of small houses have long since lost their former looseness, and without the laughter and entertainment of the soldiers, it looks extremely serious, and everywhere you can see soldiers in full armor and armed with swords patrolling.
The observation post of the Black Flag Army has been out for forty miles, and in the case of daily defense, this is already an observation post that is twice the observation distance, and the scouts are constantly checking the movements of the mountains and forests in the vicinity.
In the past few days, they have found that many demons have come out of the cracks in the abyss, and then rushed towards Gray Goose City. Obviously, these demons are all defecting, and their appearance will greatly increase the strength of the demon defenders of Grey Goose City, according to Suramir and Gadar's guess, it is very likely that the demons of Grey Goose City will send troops to the town of Berg and several nearby towns within a few days.
They didn't guess wrong. After a few days of trepidation. On June 20, the observation post sounded the fireworks order in its hand, and the fireworks flew high to inform the main forces of the two legions: the demon is coming!
"What should we do? The demons have already attacked, forty miles away, they can reach before dusk at the latest, shall we fight them or retreat?" asked Gadar with his fingers tapping on the table, his face losing his usual ruffian appearance, and his face was expressionless.
Suramir looked at him and was already rolling up the map on the table.
"What do you think we can do?" he asked, the movement of his hands already telling Gadar of his choice.
There were no strong city defenses, there were not enough weapons to defend the city, and the troops were scattered...... What else could they do but retreat?
On the 20th, the Black Flag Army and the Black Vulture Legion retreated from several towns at the entrance to the Elven Forest to the tunnels opened by the Terrans near the Hengduan Mountains.
