Chapter 685: Delaying the Front
Compared with the Federation Army, which has enough soldiers and food, the Bright Crusade Army has no relationship with either of the two points of soldiers and food in addition to the large number of people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After all, with the exception of a very small number of members of the Knights of Light, the vast majority of the soldiers in this army were untrained civilians.
But even so, their pure hearts are ready to sacrifice their lives to the great goddess at any time, even if they lack training and equipment.
But it was even more terrifying than any army, even if their food supply lines were too long and they encountered the strategy of clearing the wilderness.
But they only need a small amount of food and a bowl of water every day, and they can walk calmly, and they can trek through mountains and rivers while encouraging each other.
Whether they encounter a raging river or an empty valley, they can overcome the past with extraordinary perseverance and move on.
During these two months, in order to slow them down, the Far Eastern Army repeatedly sent soldiers to carry out small-scale harassment attacks on them.
But the effect received is not great, and fortunately, it is now the rainy season, and the continuous heavy rain has been falling for more than a month, and there is no sign of stopping.
This slowed down the advance of the Bright Crusade to a certain extent, but they were also very patient, not impatient, and approached the royal capital little by little.
"This is really a terrible army, although we are not facing much pressure for the time being, but once we confront them head-on, this endless grassland is bound to be stained red with blood...... I wish I could finish the battle here before the adults come here. β
Lancelot still stood at the pass and watched the Light Crusade army marching in the distance, and he and Jason both came to check on it almost every once in a while.
After all, they traveled very fast with light clothing, and the Light Crusade was very slow enough to act as scouts in person.
Although there has been no large-scale fighting in the past two months, everyone knows that a full-scale conflict is only a matter of time.
Because there is not much strategic depth left for them now, they will soon come to several sensitive locations, which makes both sides highly nervous.
"My lord, after he repelled the elven army, he led the fleet south from Blackwater Harbor, and now he should fight with the combined fleet in Seagull Harbor, according to the intelligence, the orc army that rushed from the storm fortress to support us is already on the way west, and it will be possible to meet us smoothly in about half a month. β
Jason saw the team that was winding like a long line, they had no military training, but the team was orderly, even when it was pouring rain.
They still marched calmly in the heavy rain, without complaining, without finding a place to shelter from the rain, and the raindrops hit them crisply in the face.
This is simply an army without desires, who have come thousands of miles to this soil, not for wealth, not for power.
It was only to hear the call of the gods, yes, they came for the great goddess of light, to whom the gods conveyed their will.
They will eventually reach where the gods want them to be, and it will be their supreme glory to give everything for it!
"Is there still half a month? But in this situation, we can't let them go straight in, we must fight a tough battle in that place, and block their way forward, otherwise it won't be long before they reach the royal capital, now the royal capital is full of devastation, all kinds of waste to be lifted, if they let them attack the city again, I'm afraid the royal capital will really not be able to hold on, collapse instantly, plus the pressure from the south, it will not be good. β
Lancelot shook his head, he was well aware of the current situation, they had retreated to a critical juncture and could not continue to retreat.
"Now the royal capital is indeed facing very heavy pressure, if the lord is in the royal capital is still good, the people's will can be stable, but relying on His Majesty Wendy alone, it is really a bit difficult, especially the nobles in the upper echelons are all watching, they are all guys who see the wind and rudder, once the situation is not good for the king, with the current garrison of the royal capital, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen, in this case we urgently need a victory to curb this situation, the adults have won the battle in the storm fortress, and now it is our turn to win the next oneγ β
Jason retracted his gaze, and he looked behind him again, a narrow valley that was the only way to reach the royal capital.
In the canyon, there are already elite soldiers making final preparations, and they are waiting for the arrival of this army that has come from thousands of miles away.
They have prepared a grand welcome gift for this group of guests from afar, and we are sure that they will not be disappointed.
"Steel Valley? It's impossible to make a final decision here, this is only the first critical juncture, it's too difficult to defeat them here, and the terrain is not conducive to combat, so you can only delay their progress as much as possible, and tell them that the new empire is not comparable to the previous one, and if you want to spread wilderness in this land, you have to ask us. β
Lancelot pulled out his submerged spear, and he slowly turned and got on his horse, leaving with Jason.
They quickly separated and headed in different directions, as it would take a good plan to stop a large army.
Soon they were vanished into the rain, and the Light Crusade marched towards the narrow valley, and no one could stop them!
At the same time, on an unknown island outside Seagull Harbor, more than a dozen ships were docked, and Lin Ye was sitting on the island at this time looking at the map.
It's just that the map in front of him is not a nautical chart of the eastern sea, but a map of the western side of the empire, and the map is very detailed.
The route of the Bright Crusade and the retreat route of the Far Eastern Army are marked with arrows, and several points are marked.
"Steel Valley? This is the first battlefield to stop the Light Crusade, this valley is very narrow, very good for ambush warfare, if the conditions allow, you can prepare a fire attack, but given the bad weather of the rainy season, there is no way to do it. β
Lin Ye looked at the map and groaned, although he said that he didn't care about the battles he couldn't fight, but the current naval battle in the East China Sea only needed to drag on.
Time is the sharpest weapon for him, and he just needs to be patient to get the results he wants.
"With the military strength of our Far Eastern Army, we will definitely be able to inflict a heavy blow on them, right? Let them see that our Far Eastern Army is invincible!"
Crouff still has a high sense of pride in the Far Eastern Army, after all, he trains with these soldiers and understands the severity of their training.
Coupled with sophisticated equipment and the commander's excellent command, it is simply like a tiger with wings.
"The best situation here is to completely block the valley and block them for half a month, as for the battle damage, I'm afraid it will be difficult, because the canyon is too long, and their team is not concentrated accordingly, which makes it difficult to cause casualties, and it is already terrible to have one or two thousand casualties. β
Lin Ye shook his head, he knew very well that what was going to be fought in Steel Valley was only a blocking battle that delayed time, and it was difficult to cause actual damage.
But this is also the task of Lancelot and the others, he doesn't want them to win the war, he just needs to be able to delay, that is, victory!
