Chapter 327: Demon Slayer
After two days of rectification, Kroger finally led the 7th Brigade to the hinterland of the nobility. Since a large number of troops had already rushed to the front, the internal forces of the South were extremely empty at this time. So it caused Kroger to occupy twenty cities in a day from a miracle.
The ordinary people nearby were shocked when they heard that there was a group army, after all, this place is 108,000 miles away from the front line, how can there be a group army? But when they really saw it, they all hugged each other and wept with joy.
At first, Kroger was also very surprised why the group of civilians not only did not run after seeing him, but also cried.
Send someone to find out. Only then did I know that the commoners here had been oppressed by the aristocracy for a long time, and the exploitation of war was even more ruthless. It's no wonder that when I saw this group of people, all of them were yellow and thin, and they were sluggish.
And that's not even the most surprising thing, whenever Kroger kicks out the lord of the city, he usually doesn't survive more than an hour. They were all beaten to death by civilians. So after the news spread, almost every time they reached a city, all the leadership ran away in advance. And then it's a day and night rush.
After Boris and Cologne learned the news, they were speechless for a long time, and after a long time, Coren said as if in a dream.
"How did the army group appear in our rear?"
In fact, they will all know some information about the front line, and they also know that the group army will always appear in the rear of the defense line inexplicably, but the distance is generally not more than 30 kilometers. And this time, the group army almost crossed thousands of kilometers to attack.
Coren seemed unwilling to believe the horrific truth, speculating.
"Could it be a gang of gangsters pretending?"
But the shred of reason that still existed in his mind told him that it was unlikely, that there could be an army of thousands of uniforms in uniform on the territory for no reason, let alone artillery and the like.
Originally, the killing of a magister had already made Boris angry enough, and now that an army group has appeared in his rear, it is tantamount to someone giving you a brick in the back of your head.
The news was so shocking that many nobles couldn't believe it and came to Boris to confirm it.
"Count Boris, I heard that an army group has appeared near us, is this a rumor?"
"Count Boris, three mayors of my territory have already approached me and said that I have encountered an army, what can I do?"
....
Boris looked at the noisy crowd like a fly, and said good.
"Give me all the silence, I tell you that the army group area has indeed appeared behind me, and we don't know how they came to be."
This sentence exploded like thunder in the hearts of no one in the aristocracy, causing quite a stir.
"The army is all on the front line, we don't have an army to defend! I'm going to pack up and run! ”
"I said a long time ago not to put all the army on the front line, that would be too risky, now it's good! The army groups have all copied to the rear, and our army is still hundreds of kilometers away. ”
.....
Boris despised these nobles so much that he could not hold his breath at all, and threw away all the bravery, wisdom, and calm qualities of their ancestors!
But this group of people has most of the resources, and he has to bow his head and cooperate with this group of waste. This is also a heart disease that he has relied on for a long time.
"That's it!"
Boris raised his voice and shouted.
"Now is not the time for infighting, we must quickly find a way to stop the group army."
Obviously, Boris still has some prestige in this backbone, but the more this happens, the more jealous Colon becomes.
"Although the army group has appeared behind us, it is still far from our central area, we should have three days to prepare, and if we have time, the White Flame Legion will be back in six days. All we have to do is resist Army Group for three days. ”
At this time, some nobles retorted.
"Count Boris, our army and the Magister are on the front line, how can we resist the army group for six days."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and this sentence undoubtedly spoke their minds.
"But we still have the guards, and there are some pro-soldiers in each family, adding up to at least 20,000 people."
Boris roughly calculated the number of troops he could muster in a short period of time, but the crowd did not feel relieved. Even if this is almost twice the strength of the enemy, there are more.
It can be seen that the army group has left a deep shadow in their hearts, and even twice the number of people will not give them peace of mind.
"Not only that, but we also have an arsenal that allows supplies to support the front line to be temporarily transferred to our banner. With the addition of some remaining magicians, we can completely resist the army group for six days. ”
According to Boris, they were able to withstand the army group for six days with all their concentrated efforts, and all the nobles silently calculated in their hearts.
The gloomy atmosphere changed a little.
"Count Boris is right, we can indeed resist the army group for six days!"
People were pleasantly surprised.
"So, I want your support now, and I will give it to me as much as possible. I believe that the army group is not as invincible as it is rumored. ”
Boris waved his hand, looking extremely confident. This emotion also infected others, and in an instant, everyone swept away their decadent temperament, and their eyes were full of hope.
Is that really the case? Boris secretly played a trick, he only calculated according to the strength of the current group army, and he could indeed block it for six days. The question is, is there probably only so many people in the army? If you can transport thousands of people, why can't you come with tens of thousands of people? As for him still declaring this, he naturally has his own purpose.
On the other hand, Kroger's more confidence grows the more he advances. Originally, he planned to destroy the industrial area of the nobles, and he would quickly withdraw after taking it for a month. After all, behind enemy lines, logistics and intelligence are subject to many restrictions. If you don't do it, you'll be surrounded by enemies.
Now he found that the situation was completely different, and the enthusiasm of the people was something he had not expected at all. Almost everywhere the group army went, the people would bring out food to entertain them, and many people would volunteer to act as guides and take the noble army to the next place.
In this way, the intelligence and logistics of the group army can almost be solved. And what reason to give up your strengths.
After a period of triumphant advance, the group army finally encountered some resistance. The city's guards will appear on the walls to fight back. Although these security units could not be compared with the well-trained army groups, they also bode well for bad things. As you move forward, the more counterattacks you may encounter.
It was also true that there were mines and stabs on the way to the army. There were quite a few casualties in the early days. After learning the lesson, the group army also reacted and quickly reduced the casualties to the lowest point.
And the cold guns around are the most difficult to prevent, and not everyone expects the arrival of the group army.
