Now the southern front is losing and losing a lot, not because of how bad Wren's command ability is, but how weak the combat effectiveness of the imperial border army is. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, both Wren's command ability and the combat ability of the soldiers of the Imperial Frontier Army are second to none in the Empire.

And there is also a unique advantage between the two, that is, the combat experience of Rennes and the Imperial Border Army is too rich.

After all, they had been fighting against the aliens of the south in this area for a long time, and they were familiar with the way of fighting in the mountains, and they were familiar with the terrain.

These are not the possession of the Federal Army, and if it were fought under normal circumstances, Wren and his flanks would definitely be able to outperform the Federal Army.

But the fact is that the Union Army is in good shape, the lost forces can be replenished at any time, and their logistics are well supplied.

Not only was the number of soldiers in the border army at a disadvantage in comparison, but the Empire's supplies were somewhat poor, which at first glance seemed a bit nonsensical.

Because compared with the other three fronts, the southern front can be said to be the closest to the royal capital, and there is no problem with the supply of materials on the other fronts, so how can the southern front have such a serious problem? In fact, the answer is very simple, this has a lot to do with the eastern front, that is, Seagull Harbor.

After all, due to the civil war in the empire, a large number of young and strong people went to the battlefield, and due to the war farmland, most of the people were hungry.

The crisis was temporarily alleviated by the arrival of grain from the Far East, which landed at Seagull Harbor and was transported all the way to the interior of the Empire.

The peasants also relied on the seeds provided by the Far East to reopen the land and sow the seeds to start their new lives, which means that it will take some time for the empire to have a good harvest until the grain grows, and before that, both the army and the people will get their food consumption from the Far East.

In fact, people also have a lot of discussions about the Far East, saying how such a small place can have so much food, as if it can't be eaten, and there are even rumors that the Duke of the Far East has a bag, which is full of grain, which can be shaken out in a steady stream.

But the real situation is probably only known to the Far Easterners, especially the old sailors who have been working in the port of Blackwater for at least five years, that is, the group of sailors who have worked there since the port of Blackwater was first established, they know best, at that time the Far East was just developing and was desperately short of food.

Later, after raising funds through various means, Lin Ye sent people to various ports to buy grain, initially thinking that it was just to buy what was needed.

It was enough for the Far Easterners to live, but gradually the soldiers discovered that the young duke had an unusual obsession with food, and under his orders one ship after another loaded with grain landed in the harbor and transported it to the warehouse for sealed storage.

One warehouse after another rose from the ground, filled with grain, coinciding with a bumper harvest in many areas in those years, no one can tell how much grain Lin Ye, as the Duke of the Far East, bought, and how much money he spent on it, plus after pacifying the Far East, the Longxi Valley was full of fertile land.

After the orcs farmed, the grain grown every year was not only self-sufficient, but also a large amount of surplus, which was also sent to the warehouse.

It was also thanks to the accumulation of so much food that the empire was able to support a huge country in one place after the devastation of the civil war.

The grain in the Far East is transported to various places by sea and land, and the storm fortress in the north is needless to say, the Far East is very close, and the grain can be sent over in a few days, and even troops can be directly sent to help, which is very convenient.

Although the Western Front is much farther away than the Southern Front, it is a rich land of the Empire, and it has always been the rear base of the Lion Family.

Due to the fact that there was no war all year round, the local nobles had accumulated a large amount of grain, and this time the Bright Crusade, in order to protect themselves, they retreated in a hurry, and while retreating, they were responsible for the expenses of all the soldiers on the entire western front, and there was no need for the king to worry about it.

The Eastern Front, on the other hand, had stored a large amount of grain as a grain distribution center before the outbreak of the naval war, which was completely sufficient for supply.

On the other hand, the last southern front was considered the area most affected by the civil strife in the empire, and the supplies were completely dependent on the transportation of the royal capital.

And the royal capital was sent from Seagull Harbor, and now that Seagull Harbor is fighting, they don't have enough supplies here, and their lives are difficult.

"Come on, let's eat more, only when we are full can we have the strength to fight, this is the fruit that only bears fruit in the ground, we must eat more." ”

"This is also the brown bread baked in our own bakery, although it is a little thicker, but it is actually very delicious, you must try it. ”

"Please accept these, you are fighting bloody battles on the front line, but we can't help anything, it's a shame to be a citizen of the empire!"

In the mountain town, local residents brought food to the hungry border soldiers, and their faces were smiling.

Having just retreated from Dusk City and fought a tough battle for two months, the exhausted soldiers sat down with their backs against the walls and saw the inhabitants approaching.

They rose to greet them and refused their food, knowing that it was what little food they had left in their homes.

"Old man, go back quickly, you can take all these back, our army is now rich in supplies, and there will be no shortage of food. ”

"That's right, and it's our duty to defend the city, and we didn't do a good job of defending Dusk City...... Alas, it's all our sin!"

"If you have time to sigh and complain over there, why don't you come and help, no matter what, this city must not fall!"

The soldiers in the distance, seeing that their companions were almost rested, shouted that they would come over and help strengthen the city defenses, which would be the second line of defense.

They had lost too much of their first line of defense, and too many familiar faces had fallen at their feet one by one.

Now that they are coming to comfort them, how can they bear to let these people all fall?

"Your Highness, the food has been delivered this time, I'm sorry that there is only so little, I will continue to find a way to raise it after I go back, thank you for your hard work!"

When the grain officer saw the grain cart behind him, he felt a little guilty about it, after all, it was his job to raise food.

Originally, the border army needed twenty truckloads of food, but now five truckloads have been delivered, which is only a quarter of the original target.

This made the food officer feel too guilty, the soldiers had worked hard enough, but they couldn't even eat, how could they fight?
